Joyce S: Birth Environments, Spaces and
Architecture

Birth Environments, Spaces and Architecture

A Guide for Everyone

Palliativversorgung und Trauerbegleitung in der Neonatologie

An in-depth exploration of the work of Frederick Kiesler, the visionary architect, with a special focus on his Mobile Home Library. Frederick Kiesler: Vision Machines explores the work of Austrian architect, theater designer, and theorist Frederick Kiesler (1890–1965). The book’s centerpiece is a close examination of Kiesler’s iconic but unrealized Mobile Home Library, which will be fabricated for the first time and photographed for the publication. Built around a speculative essay by Mark Wasiuta, tracing Kiesler’s visionary, even obsessive interest in sight, dreams, looking, and reading, the book covers Kiesler’s research and teaching at Columbia University’s School of Architecture in the late 1930s and 1940s, focusing on the main projects he developed at his Design Correlation Laboratory, the Mobile Home Library and the Vision Machine. The Vision Machine was imagined as an ambitious device intended to visualize human sight, from optics and nerve stimuli to dream content and hallucinations. The Mobile Home Library was conceived as a dynamic, modular object—part device, part furniture—whose repertoire of rotating, spinning movements allowed variable forms of interaction with readers and users. At first glance these two projects barely resemble each other. Yet together they illustrate the strange and astonishing scope of Kiesler’s correalism, which spanned and confused his biotechnique (a biologically-oriented design process aimed at fostering human health) and his techno-oneiric surrealism. The book is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Graham Foundation in Chicago in Fall 2024, but is a stand-alone volume. It presents Wasiuta’s substantial research and thinking on Kiesler, a wealth of photographs, drawings, documents, film stills, and pedagogical experiments from Kiesler’s laboratory, as well as photographs of the exhibition’s centerpiece, the (re)construction of the never-built Mobile Home Library. Frederick Kiesler was born in Czernowitz, Austria-Hungary (now Ukraine) in 1890 and died in New York in 1965. For a short time, he was a member of De Stijl, he briefly partnered with Adolf Loos in the 1920s, and he was an associate of many avant-garde artists, including Man Ray and Fernand Léger.

This book analyses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on sustainability, ethics, security, and society. It provides actionable strategies for eco-friendly AI, navigating legal frameworks, and implementing ethical practices. It examines security challenges from AI misuse, outlining necessary cybersecurity enhancements. Real-world case studies bridge theory and practice. Guidance is provided for aligning AI adoption with societal and environmental goals, promoting responsible AI development for a sustainable future. This comprehensive study of AI begins by looking at AI's role in environmental sustainability, providing actionable strategies for eco-friendly AI development and deployment. This includes understanding the complex relationship between AI and the environment to minimize its footprint and promote AI solutions that contribute to environmental goals. The authors extend into insightful discussion on navigating the intricate legal frameworks and implementing ethical AI practices. This guidance reduces the risk of legal challenges and reputational damage, leading to increased trust and responsible AI development and use. Bridging the gap between theory and practice is another important feature in this book. With real-world case studies, the reader gains practical understanding of how AI is being used in different contexts. This further enhances the accelerated adoption and increased innovation of AI solutions in different fields. This book provides a clear roadmap for responsible and sustainable AI integration, aligning AI initiatives with broader societal objectives.The primary audience for this book includes business leaders, professionals, policymakers, technologists and AI practitioners.

Concepts in Reproduction integrates the principal mechanisms of reproduction among eukaryotes, with a focus on animals and plants. The text emphasizes processes and approaches that evolved to address specific problems inherent in reproduction using examples from morphology, functional studies, and genetic studies. The many high-quality figures complement the text and provide visual storyboards. Footnotes and boxes are used throughout to provide depth and to enrich understanding. Information is compartmentalized to guide new readers through complex material while offering in-depth coverage of significant and impactful topics for experts.Key Features¿ Accessibility for a broad audience, using figures that complement the text to explain key concepts and mechanisms ¿ Integrative presentation that emphasizes the science behind the story¿ Breadth of coverage to promote comparative thought¿ Rich multiple-choice questions that span the contentConcepts in Reproduction is recommended for advanced undergraduate students, new graduate students, and investigators or clinicians seeking breadth in their knowledge in the field. The book provides foundational knowledge of fertilization, gametogenesis, primordial germ cell formation, and ontogeny of reproductive organs. Key principles of developmental biology, genetics, endocrinology, protein biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology are included to tell holistic stories of reproduction among eukaryotes. Later chapters tackle how the field applies these findings to address societal issues.
