With years of experience across schools, community colleges, and universities, my primary goal has always been to offer the best-in-class material to my colleagues and students. In a rapidly changing world, it’s crucial that textbooks evolve as well. I believe that timely updates to book editions are essential to ensure relevance and accuracy, reflecting new knowledge.
: New "one-touch" presets allow users to save specific quality and destination settings, drastically reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks. Why Quality Matters
Users should note that the TWAIN or ISIS scanner driver may need to be updated separately to ensure compatibility, especially when running on newer Windows versions. Additionally, the Scan to Microsoft SharePoint component requires .NET Framework 3.5 to be installed before it can be set up.
For many professional users, the ability to using printed barcodes (including 2D barcodes) or patch codes is a major productivity booster. ScandAll PRO's "Auto Job Separation" feature uses these codes to split large batches of images into user-defined units. This function has been enhanced over time, and an update like V2.0.21 would include refinements to recognition accuracy and processing speed. Scandall Pro V2.0.21 -update- High Quality

: Integrates with Kofax Virtual ReScan to automatically correct errors like skewed pages or smudged characters.
Digital files became more reliable. New features like JPEG7 compression allowed for high-quality TIFF files that took up less server space, while improved PDF/A output ensured that documents scanned today would remain readable for decades.

The focus of my work remains writing what I hope are the most engaging, up-to-date, and change-focused texts in the field of sociology. In an age of outsourcing and cost saving, I still do the work the old-fashioned way--by myself, and I do what it takes to get it right. All the content, all the supplements, all the test questions are done “in house” so you can have complete confidence in accuracy and quality. The Revel digital learning material, which is fully functional on any and all computers and mobile devices, is interactive, current, and written to change lives and change society.
Why digital? This is the future and it is already here. Most of today’s students have experienced digital learning for their entire lives. Because students expect information to be available through electronic devices, they are most likely to complete assignments that are available online. There are other advantages as well. Our digital titles are completely ADA compliant, presenting material in ways that meet the needs of all people including those with various disabilities. Readers can modify screen size, just as students can choose to listen to content available in audio files.
Digital learning is also the answer to the long-time problem of high book prices: Revel titles are sold for less than half of cost of print books (and students may choose to purchase a supplemental print version for a small additional cost). Yes, they can also opt to rent print books for a very low cost.
Most important, digital allows all students to learn through discovery. Rather than passively reading a book, students interact with a digital title that invites the experience of active discovery. Every semester, I increase the interactive content of our titles. This is the bright future of learning. Will you join me and our students on this journey?

Here is a forty minute video lecture that examines income inequality beginning with my own Kenyon campus and then investigates broader patterns of inequality in diverse work settings, including education, medicine, and the world of finance. The presentation also contrasts public perceptions to the reality of wealth inequality.
