Tales from the Desert Borderland

&lt;div&gt;Chapter 1: Machaca.- Chapter 2: Hot Springs.- Chapter 3: Love and Lettuce .- Chapter 4: NAFTA.- Chapter 5: Endangered Species.- Chapter 6: Burying Sheila Cassidy.- Chapter 7: Ranch Rescue.- Chapter 8: The Tunnel.&lt;/div&gt;

History, literature, philosophy, and the arts have been shaped as a reflection of the relationship between culture and politics. Their web of alliances, oppositions, infatuations, and appropriations have defined, and continue to define, our world. Politics and culture clash because, in themselves, they are two powers, albeit interdependent, that are uncomfortable with subjugation. In César Antonio Molina's work, reflections on culture and politics are intertwined in a truthful way, like an Odysseus who has sailed on both seas, and not with the imposture and ignorance of someone who has only seen the world from a single perspective. With the relationship between the intellectual and power as the central theme, the author weaves a tapestry of erudition, feeling, and wise foresight through which insurgents such as Aristotle, Derrida, Dante, Hölderlin, Zambrano, and Arendt pass. All of them are seen through the incisive and erudite lens of a comrade-in-arms, an initiate into the same mystery cults of literature and thought.

Hidden from view, university data infrastructures circulate, process and store scientific data while requiring extensive energy and metal extraction. The authors of this volume offer a speculative engagement with cultures of scientific competition, institutional habits, server procurement and regulations, and with funding procedures that each in different ways contribute to scientific computing and its planetary effects. Short speculative ethnographic texts and original line art offer witty and thought-provoking takes on the challenges data-driven science faces in times of climate change.

Staying with the Planet

Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon’s successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today’s climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change.

A Protest History of the United States

This book offers the first comprehensive sociological analysis of a Pan-Indian Fandom with a transnational footprint.It postulates a sociological definition of 'Fan' and 'Fandom', something lacking in existing literature to date. It also foregrounds a new theory and definition of 'Persona', in addition to substantiating fresh concepts like 'Access Taboo', 'Neutral Reciprocity', 'Diglossic Fan Sociality', 'Numerocracy' and 'Post-Banks'. These concepts and definitions serve to anchor and rejuvenate the Sociology of Fan Cultures, a nascent yet timely field of enquiry. The book revitalizes the Structuralist Tradition in Indian Sociology while also illuminating Fandom through a wealth of new perspectives derived from German Idealism, Symbolic Interactionism, Anthropology of Art and Film Semiotics.This book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars in Sociology, Social Anthropology, Political Sociology, Media Studies, Digital Humanities, Communication Studies, Culture Studies, Film Studies, Performance Studies, Gender Studies, Arts and Aesthetics, and South Asian Studies, giving fresh insights into the evolving dynamics of Fan Cultures in the Digital Age.

The Elementary Structure of Fandom

A paradigm-shifting textbook that teaches graduate students in economics how to use economic models to interpret data. Offering a new pedagogical paradigm, this textbook delivers a ready-made economics course covering the general concepts that unify different approaches to bringing economic models to data. Jesse Shapiro presents core ideas in quantitative economics as an abstract, cohesive whole and introduces canonical models that can be used across a wide range of applications. This course-in-a-book exposes students to stylized applications of these models that illuminate their foundations as well as recent research articles demonstrating the models’ broad applicability. <ul><li>Provides a coherent, generalized approach to making model-based inferences in empirical economics</li><li>Introduces central concepts and canonical models in quantitative economics</li><li>Features applications of modern research topics</li><li>Suits self-paced learning and classroom use alike</li></ul>

Pflegekultur im Wandel

This book proposes a regulatory system for ensuring that AI makes fair decisions.

No one wants to be the subject of an unfair decision made by an AI, and fairness is so important to society that we are likely to want to regulate to demand it. But how? This book attempts to answer that question. 

The aim of regulation must be for an AI's decisions to match the human conception of fairness. To understand what that is, the book proposes a holistic understanding of fairness, which tells us what regulation must try to achieve.

However, regulation is not an abstract activity - it regulates how humans behave, and the humans in question are those who develop and use AI for decision-making. Thus the book investigates how those humans are attempting to achieve AI fairness. It finds that there is a serious mismatch between how technologists conceptualise fairness, compared to other humans. How can AI regulation bridge this gap?

Traditional models of regulation cannot solve this problem. Fairness is too nuanced, too contextual, and is ultimately a human emotional response. Instead the book proposes to place the responsibility on the AI community to explain and justify their efforts to achieve fairness, basing regulatory and legal responses on how well that explanation deals with the risks that particular AI presents, and whether the AI operates in accordance with the explanation in use.

The book concludes by examining how far this regulatory model might be useful for some of the other social problems which AI generates. 

An original and significant contribution to the literature on AI regulation, this book is a must-read for those working in the areas of law, regulation, and technology.

Law, Regulation, and Technology

AI Fairness and Beyond

This book is a critical examination of the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern modern sport, questioning whether the ideals of fairness and a 'level playing field' extend beyond the pitch into the boardrooms where decisions are made.
Focusing on the self-regulation model prevalent in the UK and its global influence, Jonathan G. Merritt explores the intersection of sport and law through detailed analysis of statutes, case law, and legal principles. The book interrogates whether contemporary sports governance serves the interests of its primary stakeholders-players, athletes, and spectators-or those of a powerful ruling elite. By drawing on themes from politics, sociology, and religion, it exposes the deeper power dynamics at play and challenges the assumption that law in sport consistently upholds justice and equality. This is an essential resource for scholars of sports law, governance, and socio-legal studies.

Law and Society

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.
