How are the behaviors of birds, butterflies, and other migratory animals connected
to climate change? What does the term “thermal inertia” mean, and what does this
geophysical effect have on predicting what the planet’s future will be like? What is the
context for the effects we are seeing on various forms of animal life, from migrating
birds to polar bears to mosquitoes that transmit Zika and other diseases?

The innovators who created social media might never have imagined the possibility:
that activists living in countries where oppressive conditions are the norm would use
social media to call for changes to bring greater freedom, opportunity, and justice
to the masses. The attributes of social media that make it so powerful for casual
socializing—the ability to connect with nearly limitless numbers of like-minded
individuals instantaneously—enables political activists to recruit, communicate, and
organize like never before.
FEATURES
• Provides an interdisciplinary exploration of how the Internet and social media can be
used to spotlight oppression and bring about needed change
Internet sites to stop activists’ efforts
• Presents profiles of some of the leading activists around the world and their use of
the media to get their messages out
• Offers material useful for students studying geography, world cultures, social studies,
journalism, sociology, or political science
