A key sociological insight is that institutions, whether education, the economy, politics or the media, shape the contours of individual life and drive inequality. In this Byte, the contributions take up the way that digitally meditated social processes are transforming institutions. The writing here examines the interconnectedness of institutions and considers digitization across schooling, work, and media, with an eye toward how inequality works. 
Together, these selections yield important insights into critical features of the institutions that mediate our digitized society, arguing that digital sociologys greatest challenge is measuring inequalities that are produced by societys datalogical turn.

In the early days of the internet, we assumed that digital technologies would allow us to escape embodiment and its accompanying entanglements. Yet now our embodied selves are often targeted for abuse and harassment online.  As we move into the Internet of Things, the digital is increasingly on and in our bodies. The pieces in this Byte raise important questions about what it means to bring our embodied selves into contact with digital media technologies. 
Read alongside one another, the selections here expand our understanding of what it means to live in and through bodies augmented by digital technologies within a deeply unequal social world.

Digital technologies, digital media, and mobile technologies now shape the experience of everyday life in the Western world, yet the way our quotidian lives are enmeshed with these technologies is far from clearly understood.
Through studies of the digital everyday, sociologists are beginning to reinvigorate the sociological imagination in light of digitization. Chapters in this Byte cover topics such as designing a research framework and how to work ethically as a digital researcher, continually interrogating ones position as a researcher and reflecting on the process of knowledge creation. Cumulatively, they highlight the value of sociological theory for understanding our digital world.

PRINCIPLES OF NEWTONIAN AND QUANTUM MECHANICS, THE: THE NEED FOR PLANCK'S CONSTANT, H (SECOND EDITION)

# data[].attributes.description
The second edition of this book deals, as the first, with the foundations of classical physics from the 'symplectic' point of view, and of quantum mechanics from the 'metaplectic' point of view. We have revised and augmented the topics studied in the first edition in the light of new results, and added several new sections. The Bohmian interpretation of quantum mechanics is discussed in detail. Phase space quantization is achieved using the 'principle of the symplectic camel', which is a deep topological property of Hamiltonian flows. We introduce the notion of 'quantum blob', which can be viewed as the fundamental phase space unit. The mathematical tools developed in this book are the theory of the symplectic and metaplectic group, the Maslov index in a rigorous form, and the Leray index of a pair of Lagrangian planes. The concept of the 'metatron' is introduced, in connection with the Bohmian theory of motion. The short-time behavior of the propagator is studied and applied to the quantum Zeno effect.

The Imperial Origins of American Nationhood on the U.S.-Canadian Border

# data[].attributes.description
Like merchant ships flying flags of convenience to navigate foreign waters, traders in the northern borderlands of the early American republic exploited loopholes in the Jay Treaty that allowed them to avoid border regulations by constantly shifting between British and American nationality. In Citizens of Convenience, Lawrence Hatter shows how this practice undermined the United States claim to nationhood and threatened the transcontinental imperial aspirations of U.S. policymakers.The U.S.-Canadian border was a critical site of United States nation- and empire-building during the first forty years of the republic. Hatter explains how the difficulty of distinguishing U.S. citizens from British subjects on the border posed a significant challenge to the United States founding claim that it formed a separate and unique nation. To establish authority over both its own nationals and an array of non-nationals within its borders, U.S. customs and territorial officials had to tailor policies to local needs while delineating and validating membership in the national community. This type of diplomacybalancing the local with the transnationalhelped to define the American people as a distinct nation within the Revolutionary Atlantic world and stake out the United States imperial domain in North America.

The pulp fiction magazines of the early to mid 20th century featured just about every subject imaginable, from fringe titles (yes, there really was a Civil War Stories, a Submarine Stories, and even a Suicide Stories) to mainstream (Argosy, Adventure, Blue Book) to genre titles (Weird Tales, Detective Stories, Ranch Romances) and everything in between. In Between includes the hero pulps, of which there were dozens...Doc Savage, Operator #5, The Avenger, Zorro, The Black Bat, and many, many more appeared there. Some appeared in magazines that bore their name; others appeared in mystery, adventure, or fantasy pulps. Some crossed over from radio or television.
This volume presents four Amusement, Inc. tales (the Scarlet Ace is the villain!) from All-Detective Magazine, a Lone Ranger novel, a Black Hood novel (from Hooded Detective magazine), and a Secret Agent X novel (from Secret Agent X magazine).

Southern Secession Commissioners and the Causes of the Civil War

# data[].attributes.description
Charles Dews Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of our great national crisis. The fifteen years since the original publication of Apostles of Disunion have seen an intensification of debates surrounding the Confederate flag and Civil War monuments. In a powerful new afterword to this anniversary edition, Dew situates the book in relation to these recent controversies and factors in the role of vast financial interests tied to the internal slave trade in pushing Virginia and other upper South states toward secession and war.
