 Dementia in Prison: An Ethical Framework to Support Research, Practice and Prisoners by Joanne Brooke English | December 7, 2020 | ISBN: 0367259176 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB This innovative volume exposes dementia as a condition that the aging prison population is increasingly facing. Going beyond exploring the need to understand dementia within prison populations, it argues that healthcare workers and prison staff must ensure that prisoners developing dementia during their sentence are identified and supported. Dementia in Prison covers three key areas: * Healthcare services in prison settings and how these affect the rapidly aging prison population, * The human rights of prisoners with dementia, alongside the ethics of healthcare in this environment, * The current state of support for prisoners with dementia and any recommendations for future assessment, diagnosis, and policies. This provocative book will be invaluable to scholars in the fields of public health, criminology and medical sociology as well as nurses and prison staff.  Decrypting Power (Global Critical Caribbean Thought) by Ricardo Sanín-Restrepo English | Sep 14, 2018 | ISBN: 1786609274, 1786615541 | 372 pages | PDF | 3 MB Decrypting Power aims to reach a unifying concept that allows the connection of the fundamental theses stemming from critical legal studies, Subaltern studies, decolonization, law and society, global political economy, critical geopolitics and theories of de-coloniality. This volume proposes that this concept is the 'encryption of power', a category of analysis that reveals the weakness of political liberalism when it takes the place of the legitimate fundament of democracy, as well as its consummate capacity to conceal new mechanisms of global power.  Daoism in the Twentieth Century By David A. Palmer; Liu Xun; Kenneth Dean; Fan Guangchun; Adeline Herrou; Lai Chi-tim; Lee Fongmao; Lu Xichen; Kristofer Schipper; Elijah Siegler 2012 | 404 Pages | ISBN: 0520289862 | PDF | 14 MB In this volume an interdisciplinary group of scholars explores the social history and anthropology of Daoism from the late nineteenth century to the present, focusing on the evolution of traditional forms of practice and community, as well as modern reforms and reinventions both within China and on the global stage.

Clear markings in the chapters themselves and a detailed index make this volume the most accessible key resource on Daoism past and present.
 DIY Cloud Wall Hanging: Amazing and Cute DIY Clouds Walls Décor Ideas: Father's Day Gift By SELLERS MICHELLE English | 2021 | ASIN : B098JDQXF2 | 60 pages | EPUB | 6 MB  Culture, Community, and Development by Rhonda Phillips, Mark A. Brennan English | Feb 17, 2020 | ISBN: 1138593958, 1138593966 | 270 pages | PDF | 4 MB Culture is a living thing. In social settings, it is often used to represent entire ways of life, including rules, values, and expected behavior. Varying from nation to nation, neighborhood to neighborhood and beyond, even in the smallest localities, culture is a motivating factor in the creation of social identity and serves as a basis for creating cohesion and solidarity.  Cooperation in Chinese Communities: Morality and Practice (LSE Monographs on Social Anthropology) by Charles Stafford, Ellen R. Judd English | Dec 13, 2018 | ISBN: 1350077194, 1350077186 | 302 pages | PDF | 17 MB When humans cooperate, what are the social and psychological mechanisms that enable them to do so successfully? Is cooperativeness something natural for humans, built in to our species over the course of evolution, or rather something that depends on cultural learning and social interaction? This book addresses these central questions concerning human nature and the nature of cooperation. The editors present a wide range of vivid anthropological case-studies focused on everyday cooperation in Chinese communities, for example, between children in Nanjing playing a ballgame; parents in Edinburgh organising a community school; villagers in Yunnan dealing with "common pool" resource problems; and families in Kinmen in Taiwan worshipping their dead together. On the one hand, these case studies illustrate some uniquely Chinese cultural factors, such as those related to kinship ideals and institutions that shape the experience and practice of cooperation. They also illustrate, on the other hand, how China's recent history, not least the rise and fall of collectivism in various forms, continues to shape the experience of cooperation for ordinary people in China today. Finally, they show that in spite of the cultural and historical particularity of Chinese cooperation, it does share some underlying features that would be familiar to people coming from radically different backgrounds.
 Contingent Computation: Abstraction, Experience, and Indeterminacy in Computational Aesthetics (Media Philosophy) by M. Beatrice Fazi English | Sep 15, 2018 | ISBN: 1786606089, 1538147068 | 248 pages | PDF + EPUB | 3 + 1 MB In Contingent Computation, M. Beatrice Fazi offers a new theoretical perspective through which we can engage philosophically with computing. The book proves that aesthetics is a viable mode of investigating contemporary computational systems. It does so by advancing an original conception of computational aesthetics that does not just concern art made by or with computers, but rather the modes of being and becoming of computational processes. Contingent Computation mobilises the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Alfred North Whitehead in order to address aesthetics as an ontological study of the generative potential of reality. Through a novel philosophical reading of Gödel's incompleteness theorems and of Turing's notion of incomputability, Fazi finds this potential at the formal heart of computational systems, and argues that computation is a process of determining indeterminacy. This indeterminacy, which is central to computational systems, does not contradict their functionality. Instead, it drives their very operation, albeit in a manner that might not always fit with the instrumental, representational and cognitivist purposes that we have assigned to computing.
