Enander J: Facing Infinity

Black Holes and Our Place on Earth

An Essential Guide to Parenting Our Future

Raising AI

What goes wrong when emotions get turned into digital data to be measured, monitored and managed. Data from facial emotion recognition, brain-computer interfaces, virtual reality, global emotion surveys and sentiment analysis offer an extraordinary new terrain for scientific exploration. Emotion sensing promises to decode and even to augment and control the very essence of human experience. But what if the science and technology of emotion measurement get emotions wrong? In Governing Global Emotions, Jessica Pykett argues that we must shift our thinking on digital emotional governance and calls for a radical reassessment of the fundamental claims of emotion science. Pykett offers a groundbreaking account of how emotions are defined, used and governed through emerging digital technologies, arguing that emotions, senses and feelings have become a crucial new arena for political, economic and cultural struggles. She describes how technologies create emotional data, how smart cities use sensors to monitor residents’ feelings and how global economies measure happiness. Drawing on twenty years of interdisciplinary social science, Pykett documents how emotion science continues to delve deeper, as researchers look for evolutionary continuity, biological certainty and neuroscientific consensus. What she finds instead is a divided field vulnerable to significant criticism. Pykett concludes that standardised, universal and instrumentalised scientific accounts of emotions are machinic, and when divorced from context, they can never be global.

Governing Global Emotions

Astronomy and astrophysics library

This book is based in part on classroom tested lectures related to the first stars (Pop III stars), but also draws from the author's review articles of the main physical principles involved. The book will thus combine pedagogical introductory chapters with more advanced ones to survey the cutting-edge advances from the frontier of research.The formation of Pop III stars and galaxies is one of the great outstanding challenges in modern astrophysics and cosmology. The first stars are likely key drivers for early cosmic evolution and will be at the center of attention over the next decade. The best available space and ground-based telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope probe the Universe to high redshifts and provide us with tantalizing hints; but they cannot yet directly detect the first generation of stars and the formation of the first galaxies. This is left as key science for future telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope.The book covers the theory of first star formation, the relation between first stars and dark matter, their impact on cosmology, their observational signatures, the transition to normal star formation as well as the assembly of the first galaxies. It will prepare advanced students and researchers entering the field for interpreting observational findings and their cosmological implications.

Mental Health in Historical Perspective

This book explores the marginalisation of thousands of asylum patients who were removed from their home institutions in Scotland during the First World War to make way for soldiers. Examining what life was like for Scotland's mentally ill civilians from 1914-1934, the author explains why and how asylums were taken over by the War Office, and how this created a divide between civilians and soldiers, carved mostly by politicians and the media. The book sheds light on the painstaking process asylum doctors in Scotland went through to find homes for thousands of patients, and how they found ways to protect their health and wellbeing. Providing insights into the patient hierarchy within Scottish asylums, the author argues that soldiers were not the protected class of patient that politicians and the military tried to portray them as. Drawing from the words of Scotland’s asylum patients themselves, this important book highlights the voices of the mentally ill in Scotland during not only a tumultuous period for their nation, but for themselves.Jennifer Farquharson is an independent researcher specialising in early twentieth-century mental healthcare in Scotland, architectural history, and building conservation. She currently works in the heritage sector at Historic Environment Scotland, where she communicates specialist research to general audiences through books, online learning, exhibitions, films, and more. Jennifer was awarded her doctorate in history from Glasgow Caledonian University, in the UK, and is a member of the Society for the Social History of Medicine, the British Society for the History of Science, and an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historic Society.

Life in the Margins

Scotland's Asylums in the First World War

A step-by-step series of forty reflections on the core tenets of the Christian Faith for the Jordan Peterson generation. From London to Los Angeles, Hong Kong to Dubai, Paris to Delhi, the world is not as it should be. Something is wrong, something has always been wrong. You know it within yourself: that gnawing, flat, ulcerous feeling that cannot be fully suppressed despite the promise of limitless pleasure and every convenience at the push of a button. Looking around, you increasingly inhabit a world whose billboards promise paradise but the reality is a cage, where your opinions, movements and purchases are constantly monitored and recorded. This is the Program, the societal winter that everyone from the Biblical authors to CS Lewis warned us would come as consequence of a life outside the Spirit. The clock is ticking for each of us. This 'catechism' - think of it as an instruction manual for your soul - offers a singular alternative. A route for a generous life of inner peace and joy that is the basics of Christianity. The Gospel has a profoundly positive message concerning humanity; that we are not accidents of nature. For our culture to let our individual humanity slip away and merge with our machines and systems is to dehumanise ourselves and perhaps even to initiate unwittingly a new Dark Age. Only the Christian Gospel will rescue humanity from the digial Brave New World. Christianity is not easy. It is a faith that demands something of you. Use this book to find out more about us. Here we embrace the Light from Above to find solace and to survive in a difficult, turbulent world.

The First Extinction

Working Nature offers a history of the energy economy and its representations over the 19th and 20th century. Russ argues that "Energy" is not a thing nor an ability, but a social relation to nature forged in capitalist industrialisation. The concept of energy mediates the appropriation of diverse natural forces - water, steam, coal, electricity – altering the way these forces would naturally behave to perform work in production. From the valuation of coal and crafting of the current to the formalization of the substitution of energy commodities, it asks how engineers, scientists and economists achieved the production and circulation of nature’s work against social and natural resistance. In so doing, they undermined the very purpose of the energy economy - to emancipate humanity from nature. Can there be a human reconciliation with nature’s resistance for our time?
