In this revised and expanded edition, Michael Barkun delves deeper into America's conspiracy sub-culture, exploring the rise of 9/11 conspiracy theories, the "birther" controversy surrounding Barack Obama's American citizenship, and how the conspiracy landscape has changed with the rise of the Internet and other new media. What do UFO believers, Christian millennialists, and right-wing conspiracy theorists have in common? According to Michael Barkun in this fascinating yet disturbing book, quite a lot. It is well known that some Americans are obsessed with conspiracies. The Kennedy assassination, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the 2001 terrorist attacks have all generated elaborate stories of hidden plots. What is far less known is the extent to which conspiracist worldviews have recently become linked in strange and unpredictable ways with other "fringe" notions such as a belief in UFOs, Nostradamus, and the Illuminati. Unraveling the extraordinary genealogies and permutations of these increasingly widespread ideas, Barkun shows how this web of urban legends has spread among subcultures on the Internet and through mass media, how a new style of conspiracy thinking has recently arisen, and how this phenomenon relates to larger changes in American culture. This book, written by a leading expert on the subject, is the most comprehensive and authoritative examination of contemporary American conspiracism to date. Barkun discusses a range of material-involving inner-earth caves, government black helicopters, alien abductions, secret New World Order cabals, and much more-that few realize exists in our culture. Looking closely at the manifestations of these ideas in a wide range of literature and source material from religious and political literature, to New Age and UFO publications, to popular culture phenomena such as The X-Files, and to websites, radio programs, and more, Barkun finds that America is in the throes of an unrivaled period of millenarian activity. His book underscores the importance of understanding why this phenomenon is now spreading into more mainstream segments of American culture. 410 0$aComparative Studies in Religion and Society ;$v15 606 $aMillennialism$zUnited States 606 $aConspiracies$zUnited States 606 $aHuman-alien encounters$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMillennialism 615 0$aConspiracies 615 0$aHuman-alien encounters 676 $a306/.1 700 $aBarkun$b Michael$0247152 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463035503321 996 $aA culture of conspiracy$92474657 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05198nam 2200637 a 450 001 9910786724603321 005 20210721155628.0 010 $a1-118-44642-9 035 $a(CKB)2670000000353818 035 $a(EBL)1183913 035 $a(OCoLC)842385910 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000906191 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11496049 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000906191 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10930538 035 $a(PQKB)10324717 035 $a(OCoLC)849939926 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1183913 035 $a(JP-MeL)3000030543 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1183913 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10695401 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL608482 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000353818 100 $a20150303d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurunu||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aArduino for dummies$b[electronic resource] /$fby John Nussey 210 $aWest Sussex, England $cWiley$dc2013 215 $a1 online resource (459 p.) 225 1 $a--For Dummies 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a1-118-44637-2 327 $aAbout the Author; Contents at a Glance; Table of Contents; Foreword; Introduction; About This Book; Foolish Assumptions; How This Book Is Organized; Icons Used in This Book; Where to Go from Here; Part I: Getting to Know Arduino; Chapter 1: What Is Arduino and Where Did It Come From?; Where Did Arduino Come From?; Learning by Doing; Electronics; Inputs; Outputs; Open Source; Chapter 2: Finding Your Board and Your Way Around It; Getting to Know the Arduino Uno R3; Discovering Other Arduino Boards; Shopping for Arduino; Kitted Out: Starting with a Beginner's Kit; Preparing a Workspace 327 $aChapter 3: Downloading and Installing Arduino Installing Arduino; Surveying the Arduino Environment; Chapter 4: Blinking an LED; Working with Your First Arduino Sketch; Looking Closer at the Sketch; Blinking Brighter; Tweaking the Sketch; Part II: Getting Physical with Arduino; Chapter 5: Tools of the Trade; Finding the Right Tools for the Job; Using the Multimeter to Measure Voltage, Current, and Resistance; Chapter 6: A Primer on Electricity and Circuitry; Understanding Electricity; Using Equations to Build Your Circuits; Working with Circuit Diagrams; Color Coding; Datasheets 327 $aResistor Color Charts Chapter 7: Basic Sketches: Inputs, Outputs, and Communication; Uploading a Sketch; Using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM); The LED Fade Sketch; The Button Sketch; The AnalogInput Sketch; Talking Serial; Chapter 8: More Basic Sketches: Motion and Sound; Working with Electric Motors; Discovering Diodes; Spinning a DC Motor; Changing the Speed of Your Motor; Controlling the Speed of Your Motor; Getting to Know Servo Motors; Creating Sweeping Movements; Controlling Your Servo; Making Noises; Making an Instrument; Part III: Building on the Basics; Chapter 9: Learning by Example 327 $aSkube Chorus; Push Snowboarding; Baker Tweet; The National Maritime Museum's Compass Lounge and Compass Card; The Good Night Lamp; Little Printer; Flap to Freedom; Chapter 10: Soldering On; Understanding Soldering; Gathering What You Need for Soldering; Staying Safe while Soldering; Assembling a Shield; Acquiring Your Soldering Technique; Building Your Circuit; Packaging Your Project; Chapter 11: Getting Clever with Code; Blinking Better; Taking the Bounce Out of Your Button; Making a Better Button; Smoothing Your Sensors; Calibrating Your Inputs; Chapter 12: Common Sense with Common Sensors 327 $aMaking Buttons Easier Exploring Piezo Sensors; Utilizing Pressure, Force, and Load Sensors; Sensing with Style; Tripping Along with Lasers; Detecting Movement; Measuring Distance; Testing, Testing . . .
