Everett C: A Myriad of Tongues

A Myriad of Tongues

How Languages Reveal Differences in How We Think

Human creativity is a skill that can be cultivated over a person's lifetime, supporting imagination, adaptability, and resilience. Drawing from decades of established creativity scholarship, Human Creativity in the Age of AI offers a guide to begin and sustain this journey. Rather than treating AI as a technical add-on or substitute for human thinking, this book examines whether and how to integrate AI intentionally into the creative process. The result is a collection of practical frameworks and resources for strengthening human creative capacity. These are designed to help navigate human + AI co-creation and foster meaningful innovation in our technologically mediated world.Designed for flexibility, the book can be read cover to cover, explored chapter by chapter, or opened at any point for reflection, discovery, and practical application.

This book applies the approach and methodology of 'Resilient Property Theory' (RPT), bringing together leading scholars to develop and test new approaches to housing and its relationships to private property and environmental sustainability. RPT analyses problems through multiple lenses, paying attention to the web of intersecting issues and stakeholders involved in contemporary housing studies: individuals (owners, tenants, precariously housed, homeless), aggregated interests (neighborhoods, communities, markets, social movements), and the state itself across its multi-layered actors, agencies and institutions (local/city; regional; national; transnational). It focuses on seeking out solutions that enable the production of resilience for different stakeholders and promote resilience within housing systems. This book focuses on providing greater synergy amongst a diverse range of perspectives, across disciplines (law, economics, history, political science) across a range of jurisdictions (US and Canada, England and Wales, Scotland, Europe, Australia and South Africa) and sets out to find sustainable solutions.

Palgrave Debates in Business History

This book explains the fascinating history of higher commercial education in Japan; by “higher” commercial education, the editors mean an innovative, academic approach to the study of commerce in vocational schools designed to produce managers and leaders capable of navigating an increasingly sophisticated global trade system.This volume first explains the European roots of Japanese higher commercial schools and how those early European schools began to influence commercial education outside Europe. Subsequent essays in the volume explain how Japanese students ended up in Europe (particularly in Antwerp) studying commerce, and how they brought back to Japan ideas about how European schools could be adapted to the Japanese context. More crucially, the chapters connect commercial schools operated by Japan in pre-war China to both higher commercial schools in Japan and Europe.Scholars have long been fascinated (and perhaps puzzled) by Japan’s breathtakingly rapid economic development during the Meiji period (1868–1912). This work on commercial education provides researchers with added context about that process. It will be of interest to&nbsp;scholars of business history specializing in Japan’s Meiji period, China’s treaty port economy, and nineteenth-century European business.Paul Sinclair is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Business at the University of Regina, Canada. He has been fascinated by the Tōa Dōbun Shoin and Japan's business/language schools situated in China for more than 25 years. He recently completed a translation of a book about the Tōa Dōbun Shoin by Yoshihisa Fujita, Japan's premier expert on the elaborate fieldwork programs at the institution.OkadaKentaro&nbsp;is Professor in the Faculty of Law at Aichi University, Japan. His research specializes in comparative politics, with a particular focus on Canada. Throughout his career, he has also maintained a strong interest in the international comparative study of higher education.

More crucially, the chapters connect commercial schools operated by Japan in pre-war China to both higher commercial schools in Japan and Europe.The book will invite some controversy because it sees the curriculum of the Tōa Dōbun Shoin as an innovative modification of the higher commercial school curriculum in late nineteenth-century Europe. Until now, the TDS curriculum has been seen as entirely “made in Japan.” In previous scholarship in English, the institution was viewed as an instructive example of Japanese imperialist policy toward China; in Chinese scholarship, an intelligence-gathering apparatus; and in Japanese scholarship, a creative and entrepreneurial endeavor by Japan’s “China hands” in the Meiji period. Thus, the book will probe a series of comfortable narratives that have gone undisturbed for decades.Scholars have long been fascinated (and perhaps puzzled) by Japan’s breathtakingly rapid economic development during the Meiji period (1868–1912).

Routledge Studies in Cultural Heritage and International Law

The Legal Pluralism of Heritage: Restitution and the Normative Knowledge of Communities of Origin explores one of the most urgent debates in international cultural heritage law today: the role of Indigenous laws and local norms about material culture in the restitution process.In an era of rising claims for restitution, this book examines how diverse legal and normative orders engage with communities seeking the return of cultural objects held in museums, private collections, and institutions worldwide. It argues that restitution processes need to consider the normative knowledge of communities of origin. Moving beyond conventional legal analysis, the volume includes theoretical interventions and case studies from (international) law, anthropology, archaeology, history, museum studies, art history and Indigenous legal studies, and from all five continents. It offers a new framework for understanding restitution not merely as a legal process, but as a dialogue between legal systems and the knowledge traditions of the communities to whom heritage belongs.Timely and thought-provoking, this book is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in international law, legal history, historical anthropology, and cultural heritage studies.

Refutes contemporary stereotypes about Mexico by sharing first-hand experiences from men who support the feminist movement in their country.The Mexican Feminist Movement responds to the Trumpian generalization that branded Mexican men as rapists, drug dealers, killers, and "bad hombres." Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways--they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women's rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters, and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men's challenges to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work, and in the public sphere.

This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

What impact has Australia had on international law and what is its significance in terms of its participation in the transnational legal system? This collection of essays delves into the history of Australia's interactions with international law and considers how its people have shaped international law. It explores key issues such as the country's imperial and settler past. It assesses how Australians have contributed to key institutions such as the ICJ, the UN and the British Commonwealth. It gives a fascinating insight into international law's impact on a domestic legal system and the complex and multifaceted nature of that relationship. Scholars from across the international spectrum, whether in the field of law, politics or history, will welcome this erudite and engaging work.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

 Covert Policing: Law and PracticeThis book explores how the police use covert techniques to investigate serious and organized crime. It draws on a two-year ESRC-funded ethnographic study of covert policing in an English police service, focusing on a secretive department known as “Specialist Operations”, whose main function is to conduct prolonged and intrusive investigations into serious and organized crime. The book examines how, and why, the police use of covert resources contains an intrinsic level of risk, which creates a series of dilemmas for practitioners. The book, then, provides a rich description of the bureaucratic and statutory frameworks that guide how the police use covert techniques. &nbsp;In the final chapter, the book develops a theory of control in covert police work that explains how, and when, this type of police work becomes prone to abuse. The book draws on direct observations of police officers at work, including observation of live operations, and makes an important contribution to the public debate about the function of the police in a democratic society.&nbsp;Shane Mac Giollabhuí
