We live in a society that is awash with information, but few of us really understand what information is. In this Very Short Introduction, one of the world's leading authorities on the philosophy of information and on information ethics, Luciano Floridi, offers an illuminating exploration of information as it relates to both philosophy and science. He discusses the roots of the concept of information in mathematics and science, and considers the role of information in several fields, including biology. Floridi also discusses concepts such as "Infoglut" (too much information to process) and the emergence of an information society, and he addresses the nature of information as a communication process and its place as a physical phenomenon. Perhaps more important, he explores information's meaning and value, and ends by considering the broader social and ethical issues relating to information, including problems surrounding accessibility, privacy, ownership, copyright, and open source. This book helps us understand the true meaning of the concept and how it can be used to understand our world.

Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Functional pants, safe bed, accurate color.
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Dark Olive, Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Dark Olive
I think these pants are very functional, the color is very accurate, the fit is good, I think it is a very safe choice for someone looking for safe pick. I have not tried washing them so i am not sure about wrinkle resistance, I may update my review later. But out of the box, they were not wrinkled. Thickness is decent, not too thick or thin. Since I got it for some discount, the value was good. The image is in yellow lighting.

You get what you pay for.
I have 4 pairs of these pants. Originally, I gave them a five star review because the fit was perfect, they are comfortable, and looked nice. I have worn them several times and they seemed to be well made. However, I've changed my rating to three stars. I've washed 3 of the 4 pairs I bought. The black pair came out o.k.. The olive and grey pairs are not color fast. The olive pair faded considerably in the wash and has a definite brown tinge to it in the thighs and knees. The grey pair did not fade as much, but you can also see that brown tinge in the thighs and knees. I can still wear them as work pants, but I was disappointed. I have also noticed that the inside of the front pockets have excessive wear. The bottom line is that these pants do not cost much, but will probably not last long. Are they worth $30? Personally, I'd rather pay more and get better quality. I had put several other Goodthreads items on my wishlist, but now I'm rethinking that.
