Making Things Talk
The workbenches of hobbyists, hackers, and makers have become overrun with microcontrollers, computers-on-a-chip that power homebrewed video games, robots, toys, and more. In Making Things Talk, Tom Igoe, one of the creators of Arduino, shows how to make these gadgets talk. Whether you need to connect some sensors to the Internet or create a device that can interact wirelessly with other creations, this book shows you what you need. Although they are powerful, the projects in this book are inexpensive to build: the Arduino microcontroller board itself ranges from around $25 to $40. The networking hardware covered here includes Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and can be had for $25 to $50. Fully updated for the latest Arduino hardware and software, this book lets you combine microcontrollers, sensors, and networking hardware to make things... and make them talk to each other!
Making Things Happen for the Lord
Making Things Happen is a "Survival Manual" for those who desire to abound in the work of the Lord. The church contains many types of personalities, which creates a challenge for those who desire to "Make Things Happen" for the Lord. As we attempt to walk in the fullness of God and carry on the works of Jesus, keeping unity within the Church can be a challenging endeavor. Having an understanding of what to expect will be the key to survival. Realizing and having an understanding that there are generally three types of people who make up the Church world will equip leaders and laymen with the tools to excel. The Lord's will is that we have the strength and wisdom to keep peace and harmony within the Church, as we face the challenge of working with Those Who Make Things Happen - Those Who Watch Things Happen - and Those Who Wonder What Happened! Pamela Powell Tawbush and her husband Stanley pioneered the ministry of RESTORATION in Northport, Alabama in 1992. Together, they believe in the Balance of the Word and the Holy Spirit, and believe it is that Balance which makes up the infallible TRUTH. While in the ministry of RESTORATION, they have traveled and preached the message that it is the will of God to "Take Back What the Devil Has Stolen." Pamela holds an Associate Degree in Business from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from Ashford University. Pamela is a life-long learner and believes that it is the perfect will of God for Christians to continue to learn, grow and change to become the servant God desires. She is a proud mother of four and has nine grandchildren. Pamela moved from Alabama in 1997 and presently resides in Jacksonville, Florida with her family.
Making Things Better

In Making Things Better, A. David Napier demonstrates how anthropological description of non-Western exchange practices and beliefs can be a tonic for contemporary economic systems in which our impersonal relationship to ''things'' transforms the animate elements of social life into inanimate sets of commodities. Such a fundamental transformation, Napier suggests, makes us automatons in globally integrated social circuits that generate a cast of a winners and losers engaged in hostile competition for wealth and power. Our impersonal relations to ''things''--and to people as well--are so ingrained in our being, we take them for granted as we sleepwalk through routine life. Like the surrealist artists of the 1920s who, through their art, poetry, films, and photography, fought a valiant battle against mind-numbing conformity, Napier provides exercises and practica designed to shock the reader from their wakeful sleep. These demonstrate powerfully the positively integrative social effects of more socially entangled, non-Western orientations to ''things'' and to ''people.'' His arguments also have implications for the rights and legal status of indigenous peoples, which are drawn out in the course of the book.
