Zhun Gu, "Screen Media and the Construction of Nostalgia in Post-Socialist China "
English | ISBN: 9811974934 | 2023 | 249 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book traces the cultural transformation of nostalgia on the Chinese screen over the past three decades. It explores how filmmakers from different generations have engaged politically with China's rapidly changing post-socialist society as it has been formed through three mutually constitutive frameworks: political discourse, popular culture and state-led media commercialisation. The book offers a new, critical model for understanding relationships between filmmakers, industry and the State.

Sigrid Schmalzer, Daniel S. Chard, Alyssa Botelho, "Science for the People: Documents from America's Movement of Radical Scientists"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1625343183, 1625343175 | PDF | pages: 256 | 4.9 mb
For the first time, this book compiles original documents from Science for the People, the most important radical science movement in U.S. history. Between 1969 and 1989, Science for the People mobilized American scientists, teachers, and students to practice a socially and economically just science, rather than one that served militarism and corporate profits. Through research, writing, protest, and organizing, members sought to demystify scientific knowledge and embolden "the people" to take science and technology into their own hands. The movement's numerous publications were crucial to the formation of science and technology studies, challenging mainstream understandings of science as "neutral" and instead showing it as inherently political. Its members, some at prominent universities, became models for politically engaged science and scholarship by using their knowledge to challenge, rather than uphold, the social, political, and economic status quo.

Scala for the Impatient
English | 2023 | ISBN: 013803365X | 558 Pages | True EPUB | 31 MB
Written by renowned programming instructor Cay S. Horstmann-author of the classic Core Java-this indispensable tutorial offers a faster, easier pathway for learning today's Scala. Horstmann covers everything working developers need to know, focusing on hands-on solutions, not academic theory. Given the size and scope of Scala 3, there's plenty to cover but it's presented in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding, with plenty of practical insights and focused sample code.

Joseph Drew, "Saving Local Government: Financial Sustainability in a Challenging World"
English | ISBN: 9811643342 | 2022 | 184 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book focuses squarely on the problem of saving local government in the context of extraordinary financial challenges being faced across the globe. Saving Local Government is written principally for practitioners and employs a 'conversational' tone which makes complex theory both engaging and accessible. It augments world-best scholarship with Professor Joseph Drew's extensive practical experience in guiding local governments away from the brink of financial insolvency. It is thus a 'must read' for local government executives, Mayors, Councillors and the regulators that oversee the sector.

Cotton, "Roman Rule and Jewish Life: Collected Papers "
English | ISBN: 311019144X | 2022 | 607 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Hannah M Cotton's collected papers focus on questions which have fascinated her for over four decades: the concrete relationships between law, language, administration and everyday life in Judaea and Nabataea in particular, and in the Roman world as a whole. Many of the papers, especially those devoted to the Judean Desert documents of the 2nd century CE have been widely cited. Others, having appeared in less accessible publications, may not have received the attention they deserve. On the whole, rather than addressing the grand narratives of world or national history, they look at the texture of life, seeking to provide tentative answers to historical questions and interpretations by paying fine attention to the details of literary and, especially, documentary evidence. Taken together they illuminate fundamental, often legal, questions concerning daily life and the exercise of Roman rule and administration in the early imperial period, and especially, their impact on life as it was lived in the province and the period where Roman and Jewish history fatefully intersected. The volume includes a complete bibliography of her publications.

Robots, Healthcare, and the Law: Regulating Automation in Personal Care By Eduard Fosch-Villaronga
2019 | 276 Pages | ISBN: 0367076616 | EPUB | 2 MB
The integration of robotic systems and artificial intelligence into healthcare settings is accelerating. As these technological developments interact socially with children, the elderly, or the disabled, they may raise concerns besides mere physical safety; concerns that include data protection, inappropriate use of emotions, invasion of privacy, autonomy suppression, decrease in human interaction, and cognitive safety. Given the novelty of these technologies and the uncertainties surrounding the impact of care automation, it is unclear how the law should respond. This book investigates the legal and regulatory implications of the growing use of personal care robots for healthcare purposes. It explores the interplay between various aspects of the law, including safety, data protection, responsibility, transparency, autonomy, and dignity; and it examines different robotic and AI systems, such as social therapy robots, physical assistant robots for rehabilitation, and wheeled passenger carriers. Highlighting specific problems and challenges in regulating complex cyber-physical systems in concrete healthcare applications, it critically assesses the adequacy of current industry standards and emerging regulatory initiatives for robots and AI. After analyzing the potential legal and ethical issues associated with personal care robots, it concludes that the primarily principle-based approach of recent law and robotics studies is too abstract to be as effective as required by the personal care context. Instead, it recommends bridging the gap between general legal principles and their applicability in concrete robotic and AI technologies with a risk-based approach using impact assessments. As the first book to compile both legal and regulatory aspects of personal care robots, this book will be a valuable addition to the literature on robotics, artificial intelligence, human-robot interaction, law, and philosophy of technology.
