  The story of computing begins not with electricity or screens, but with simple tools and the human need to solve problems. Long before the modern computer, ancient civilizations were already creating devices to aid in counting, measuring, and performing basic arithmetic. These early innovations laid the groundwork for centuries of progress in computing. 
  One of the most enduring tools from this era is the abacus. Believed to have originated in Mesopotamia over 4,000 years ago, the abacus evolved in various cultures, including Chinese, Roman, and Japanese societies. It was a portable, efficient device that allowed users to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by sliding beads along rods or grooves. Although simple in design, the abacus was powerful for its time and is still used in some regions for teaching arithmetic and mental calculation skills. 
  In addition to the abacus, ancient number systems were critical to the development of computation. The Babylonians used a base-60 numeral system, which influenced the way we measure time and angles today. The Egyptians employed a system based on units of ten, using hieroglyphs to represent values. Meanwhile, the Romans had a cumbersome numeral system that made complex calculations challenging. It wasn't until the adoption of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, with its concept of zero and place value, that true advances in mathematical computation became possible.

  “Young persuasively demonstrates the necessity for businesses to elect higher values over unbridled greed . . . a most important book.” —Foreword ReviewsA blueprint for global social justice is needed and this book provides one by showing that the ethical standards inherent in capitalism have been 1) compromised by cultural values inimical to capitalism’s essentially egalitarian, rational spirit and 2) distorted by the short-sighted, dog-eat-dog doctrines of social Darwinism into what he calls “brute capitalism.” The text presents how the Caux Round Table for Moral Capitalism’s Principles for Responsible Business can serve as a blueprint for a new, more “moral capitalism” and shows how, if guided by these principles, capitalism is really the only system with the potential to reduce global poverty and tyranny and address the needs and aspirations of individuals, societies and nations.

  The Health of Human Trafficking...

  Slavery has existed since ancient times, was integral to building most civilizations, and was written into the Code of Hammurabi (Wells, 2008). It has appropriately been called “the world’s oldest trade” (Vink, 2003). Although Mauritania became the last country in the world to criminalize slavery in 2007, it is estimated there are over 45 million people enslaved worldwide today (McDougall, 2015; Walk Free Foundation, 2016). By means of comparison, historians generally agree approximately 12 million slaves were traded during the entire 400-year Trans- 
  Atlantic slave trade (Manning, 1992; Nunn, 2008).  
      Modern-day slavery is also known as human trafficking and has been documented in all 50 states (U.S. Department of State, 2016). Although the United States and international communities have cooperated to outlaw trafficking activities and protect victims with the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000, much of the focus has been on legal protection. Little progress has been made in addressing the health needs of victims of human trafficking (Hom & Woods, 2013). Human trafficking harms people physically and emotionally, but health is the least understood aspect of the trafficking process. Notably, trafficking has been called a “public health crisis”, and a “pandemic” (de Chesnay, 2013, p. 901; Goodwin Veenema, Thornton, & Corley, p. 864). The health care response, however, has been “largely neglected in anti-trafficking work”, particularly when compared to efforts in law enforcement, immigrant law, and public policy (Zimmerman, Hossain, & Watts, 2011, p. 327).
