    AI for School Teachers (eBook, ePUB)
    What is artificial intelligence? Can I realistically use it in my school? What's best done by human intelligence vs. artificial intelligence, and how do I bring these strengths together? What would it look like for me, and my school, to be AI Ready? AI for School Teachers will help teachers and headteachers understand enough about AI to build a strategy for how it can be used in their school. Examining the needs of schools to ensure they are ready to leverage the power of AI and drawing examples from early years to high school students, this book outlines the educational implications and benefits that AI brings to school education in practical ways. It develops an understanding of what AI is and isn't and how we define and measure what we value and provides a framework which supports a step-by-step approach to developing an AI mindset, focusing on ways to improve educational opportunities for students with evidence-informed interventions.

    Performance and Power (eBook, PDF)
    Performativity has emerged as a critical new idea across thehumanities and social sciences, from literary and cultural studiesto the study of gender and the philosophy of action. In thisvolume, Jeffrey Alexander demonstrates how performance can reorientour study of politics and society. Alexander develops a cultural pragmatics that shifts culturalsociology from texts to gestural meanings. Positioning socialperformance between ritual and strategy, he lays out the elementsof social performance - from scripts to mise-en-scène, fromcritical mediation to audience reception - and systematicallydescribes their tense interrelation. This is followed by a seriesof empirically oriented studies that demonstrate how culturalpragmatics transforms our approach to power. Alexander brings his new theory of social performance to bear oncase studies that range from political to cultural power: BarackObama's electoral campaign, American failure in the Iraqi war, thetriumph of the Civil Rights Movement, terrorist violence onSeptember 11th, public intellectuals, material icons, and socialscience itself. This path-breaking work by one of the world's leading socialtheorists will command a wide interdisciplinary readership.

    Code of the Nightbird (eBook, ePUB)
    When Julien Grant walks into the dentist's office one warm summer day, he expects the worst--cavities, a root canal, even oral surgery. But the doctor's orders are far more terrifying: in order to have the surgery he needs, Julien will have to attend a two-month-long conversion therapy program. His insurance provider, like most in 2040s America, allows for carriers to pull coverage from those whose "lifestyle" goes against their religious beliefs. Faced with a ticking clock and no alternative, Julien finds himself at Galilee Baptist Church, an ostensibly beautiful property with more than a few sinister secrets hidden below its pews.Galilee's director, known only as The Major, rules over the program with an iron fist; something that eventually pushed Julien to the limits of his sanity. At first, Julien wishes only to survive the program so his desperately-needed procedure can go forward, but when he develops feelings for Finn, another young man in the program, Julien must reevaluate everything.

    Geometry of the Semigroup Z_(=0)^n and its Applications to Combinatorics, Algebra and Differential Equations
    This vital contribution to the mathematical literature on combinatorics, algebra and differential equations develops two fundamental finiteness properties of the semigroup Z_( 0)^n that elucidate key aspects of theories propounded by, among others, Hilbert and Kouchnirenko. The authors provide explanations for numerous results in the field that appear at first glance to be unrelated. The first finiteness property relates to the fact that Z_( 0)^n can be represented in the form of a finite union of shifted n-dimensional octants, while the second asserts that any co-ideal of the semigroup can be represented as a finite, disjoint union of shifted co-ordinate octants. The applications of their work include proof that Hilbert's implication that dimension d of the affine variety X equals the degree of Hilbert's polynomial can be developed until its degree X equates to the leading coefficient of the Hilbert polynomial multiplied by d. The volume is a major forward step in this field.

    Making Mobilities Matter (eBook, ePUB)
    Making Mobilities Matter explores the interconnection between everyday practice and policy and planning in urban mobilities. It develops a theoretical framework for understanding everyday life and its mobilities in a mobile risk society and critiques the technocratic views that still dominate transport politics and research. Recognizing the importance of culture and everyday life in shaping urban mobilities, it examines how contemporary communities exist, expand, and are sustained through localized and virtual forms of sharing responsibility, exchanging life experiences, creating meaning, and giving ontological security to people's lives. It also offers perspectives on the emotional aspect of mobilities in everyday life and how utopias can respond to these emotions. Making Mobilities Matter ends with a discussion of the prospects for urban mobilities in the future and how these issues are vital in battling climate change. Making Mobilities Matter is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand the importance of mobilities in sustainable urban development and tackling climate change.

    Xenofeminism
    In an era of accelerating technology and increasing complexity, how should we reimagine the emancipatory potential of feminism? How should gender politics be reconfigured in a world being transformed by automation, globalization and the digital revolution?These questions are addressed in this bold new book by Helen Hester, a founding member of the 'Laboria Cuboniks' collective that developed the acclaimed manifesto 'Xenofeminism: A Politics for Alienation'. Hester develops a three-part definition of xenofeminism grounded in the ideas of technomaterialism, anti-naturalism, and gender abolitionism. She elaborates these ideas in relation to assistive reproductive technologies and interrogates the relationship between reproduction and futurity, while steering clear of a problematic anti-natalism. Finally, she examines what xenofeminist technologies might look like in practice, using the history of one specific device to argue for a future-oriented gender politics that can facilitate alternative models of reproduction.Challenging and iconoclastic, this visionary book is the essential guide to one of the most exciting intellectual trends in contemporary feminism.

    Early English Composers and the Credo (eBook, PDF)
    This book develops an innovative approach for understanding the relationship between music and words in the works of five major composers of the English Renaissance: John Taverner, Christopher Tye, John Sheppard, Thomas Tallis, and William Byrd. Focusing on these composers' settings of the Latin Credo, the author shows how musical and linguistic emphasis can be used to understand the composers' theological interpretations of the text. By combining markedness theory with style analysis, this study demonstrates that the composers used their musical skills to not only create beautiful music but also raise certain elements of the text to the foreground of perception and relegate others to supporting roles, inviting listeners to experience the familiar words of the liturgy in unique ways.Providing new insights into the changing musical and religious world of the sixteenth century, this book is relevant to anyone researching music or religion in early modern England, while offering a flexible and widely adaptable tool for the analysis of musical-textual relationships.
