One of the consequences of the digital revolution is the availability and pervasiveness of media and technology. They became an integral part of many people’s lives, including children, who are often exposed to media and technology at an early age. Due to this early exposure, children have become targeted consumers for businesses and other organizations that seek to utilize the data they generate. The Handbook of Research on Children's Consumption of Digital Media is a scholarly research publication that examines how children have become consumers as well as how their consumption habits have changed in the age of digital and media technologies. Featuring current research on cyber bullying, social media, and digital advertising, this book is geared toward marketing and advertising professionals, consumer researchers, international business strategists, academicians, and upper-level graduate students seeking current research on the transformation of child to consumer.
Quaker characters have peopled many an American literary work—most notably, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin"—as Quakerism has been historically associated with progressive attitudes and the advancement of social justice.

Have you ever wondered why Communion is practiced differently from one place to another or often not at all? Maybe you learned about it at an early age or were introduced to it later when you began following Jesus as an adult. Today, many Christians practice the sacrament of Communion (though not all) and have never been introduced to the history and significance behind what Jesus instituted for us at the Last Supper. Most understand its significance, yet only as it leads one back to the Cross. But why the Cross? Why did Jesus choose the very specific Jewish festival of Passover as the setting for changing the world? And more importantly, why did He have to die? Whatever your beliefs or unde...
