Amazon : Understanding a Global Communication Giant
Taking a political economy of media approach, this book examines Amazon as a significant actor in the global media landscape. Amazon is mainly conceived in the popular consciousness and media commentary as a corporate body, selling products and services to individual consumers and organisations, but Brevini and Swiatek show that Amazon has become a communication giant that trades in diversified media (its own and others), and exerts a significant influence on global communication, especially through its online services.Further, the authors provide evidence of Amazon's multiple influences on politics, economics, and culture. With its comprehensive and critical overview, this book is ideal for students, scholars, and researchers of media and communication studies and political economy.

Data Management in Large-Scale Education Research
Research data management is becoming more complicated.Researchers are collecting more data, using more complex technologies, all the while increasing the visibility of our work with the push for data sharing and open science practices.Ad hoc data management practices may have worked for us in the past, but now others need to understand our processes as well, requiring researchers to be more thoughtful in planning their data management routines. This book is for anyone involved in a research study involving original data collection.While the book focuses on quantitative data, typically collected from human participants, many of the practices covered can apply to other types of data as well.The book contains foundational context, instructions, and practical examples to help researchers in the field of education begin to understand how to create data management workflows for large-scale, typically federally funded, research studies.The book starts by describing the research life cycle and how data management fits within this larger picture.The remaining chapters are then organized by each phase of the life cycle, with examples of best practices provided for each phase.Finally, considerations on whether the reader should implement, and how to integrate those practices into a workflow, are discussed. Key Features:Provides a holistic approach to the research life cycle, showing how project management and data management processes work in parallel and collaborativelyCan be read in its entirety, or referenced as needed throughout the life cycleIncludes relatable examples specific to education researchIncludes a discussion on how to organize and document data in preparation for data sharing requirementsContains links to example documents as well as templates to help readers implement practices

'Giant or King Giant?'
The term "Giant" typically refers to a large mythical creature or a person of exceptional size. On the other hand, "King Giant" could refer to a specific type of giant that holds a position of authority or power within a group of giants.

Are giant gliders and giant bats related to each other?
Giant gliders and giant bats are not closely related to each other. Giant gliders, such as the sugar glider, belong to the order Diprotodontia and are marsupials, while giant bats, like the flying fox, belong to the order Chiroptera and are mammals. Despite both being capable of gliding through the air, they have evolved this ability independently and have different evolutionary histories.
-
Are giant gliders and giant flying foxes related to each other?
Yes, giant gliders and giant flying foxes are related to each other. Both belong to the family Pteropodidae, which consists of large fruit bats commonly known as flying foxes. While giant gliders are a specific species within this family, giant flying foxes are a group of species that also fall under the Pteropodidae family. They share similar physical characteristics and behaviors, such as their large wingspan and nocturnal feeding habits.

Can a 150-meter giant fight against a 196-meter giant?
In a hypothetical scenario where a 150-meter giant were to fight against a 196-meter giant, the size difference would likely give the 196-meter giant a significant advantage in terms of strength and reach. The larger giant would have a greater ability to overpower and potentially defeat the smaller giant in a physical confrontation. However, factors such as agility, strategy, and other abilities possessed by the smaller giant could also play a role in determining the outcome of the fight. Ultimately, the result would depend on various factors and circumstances.

Gender Differences in Technology and Innovation Management : Insights from Experimental Research
Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation, numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions.According to the latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not yet led to the desired success.Compared to their male counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known about the concrete impact of the above education policies on working with innovation and technology: What are the gender differences between women and men?Is it enough to recognize these differences, or should these differences ideally not only be recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation management against the background of these and other gender-relevant aspects.Empirical analyses and experiments in collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented: How do women and men deal with creativity and competition?How are technologies applied and how can differences in access to technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing differences.

Anglophone Literature in Second-Language Teacher Education : Curriculum Innovation through Intercultural Communication
Anglophone Literature in Second Language Teacher Education proposes new ways that literature, and more generally culture, can be used to educate future teachers of English as a second language.Arguing that the way literature is used in language teacher education can be transformed, the book foregrounds transnational approaches and shows how these can be applied in literature and cultural instruction to encourage intercultural awareness in future language educators.It draws on theoretical discussions from literary and cultural studies as well as applied linguistics and is an example how these cross-discipline conversations can take place, and thus help make Second-language teacher education (SLTE) programs more responsive to the challenges faced by future English-language teachers.Written in the idiom of literary scholarship, the book uses ideas of intercultural studies that have gained widespread support at research level, yet have not affected literature–cultural curricula in SLTE. As the first interdisciplinary study to suggest how SLTE programs can respond with curricula, this book will be of great interest for academics, scholars and post graduate students in the fields of applied linguistics, L2 and foreign language education, teacher education and post-graduate TESOL.It has universal appeal, addressing teaching faculty in any third-level institution that prepares language teachers and includes literary studies in their curriculum, as well as administrators in such organizations.

Meadows or giant hogweed?
I would choose meadows over giant hogweed. Meadows are natural, diverse ecosystems that support a wide variety of plant and animal species. They provide important habitat for wildlife and contribute to the overall health of the environment. On the other hand, giant hogweed is an invasive plant species that can be harmful to human health and can outcompete native plants. Therefore, I would prioritize the preservation and restoration of meadows over the presence of giant hogweed.
