Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The weird and wonderful stories of the ancestors of today's comic-book and cinematic superheroes.Financial Times Best Science Fiction Books of 2025Superhumanshumans who have evolved into creatures stronger, smarter, and more gifted than we have any reason to befirst showed up in science-ficti…onal narratives during the genre's emergent Radium Age. Originally published between 1902 and 1928, the stories and excerpts anthologized in this volume by Joshua Glenn feature the likes of Marie Corelli's Young Diana, who, having been rendered super-alluring via a rejuvenation experiment, seeks revenge on a sexist society; Francis Stevens's Thomas Dunbar, one of the first lab-created superhumans; Zoo and Yva, superwomen who contemplate the extermination of us mere mortals, thanks to George Bernard Shaw and H. Rider Haggard; and Alfred Jarry's André Marcueil, a scientist who develops a super-sexual capacity.Hugo Gernsback gives us Ralph 124C 41+, a benevolent super-genius inventor who dwells atop a New York skyscraper. M. P. Shiel tells the story of Hannibal Lepsius, a homeschooled prodigy turned amoral tech bro; and Karel Capek gives us Rudy Marek, an inventor who, having developed superpowers, wonders whether civilization will survive his latest invention. Thea von Harbou's genius scientist, Rotwang, is even less conscientious in his scheming; as is Arthur Conan Doyle's ever-irascible Professor Challenger, here in one of his final outings. Finally, Jean de La Hire's Nyctalope, a popular French superpowered crimefighter character, makes an appearance; and so does Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan of the Apes . . . though reduced to miniature size.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When a capitalist cabal plots to assassinate Lenin, can quick-witted American workers ride to the rescue before it's too late a new translation.In Yankees in Petrograd, the Russian author Marietta S. Shaginyan (writing under the American nom de plume Jim Dollar) gives us a riveting crime and…espionage adventure with science fiction elements. Despite having awesome technologies such as public transportation that bends space and time and electrical forcefields protecting Soviet Russia against its foes, the world's first proletarian state is threatened by a fascist organization that will stop at nothingincluding kidnapping, mesmerism, and infiltrationto assassinate Vladimir Lenin and his fellow Communist leaders! Enter Mike Thingsmaster, American tradesman and leader of a secret global organization defending the interests of the proletariat, who tasks his network with foiling this nefarious plot.Shaginyan's novel, serialized in 1924 with covers decorated by Alexander Rodchenko's photomontages, proved wildly popular with the Soviet reading public, which followed its dizzying plot breathlessly. Settings constantly shift and characters assume multiple identities, and scenes of danger, intrigue, and melodrama are interspersed with moments of comic relief. Can Thingsmaster and his alliesincluding a robber baron's scion who converts to the cause of Revolution, an alluring masked woman, a doctor investigating a disease that causes fierce anti-communists to revert to proto-human form, a chimney sweep, an intelligent dog, and the General Prosecutor of Illinoissucceed in thwarting the fascists You'll have to read until the final chapter to find out.A satire of the sort of thrillers then appearing in Black Mask and similar American pulps, Yankees in Petrograd is an over-the-top, pro-communist thrill ride.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An intense inner monologue that captures the various manifestations and effects of fear in relation to money or the lack of it. In this fictional work by author and art historian Isabelle Graw, fear indeed eats the soul of the protagonist as she struggles to survive in a world increasingly de…fined and divided by money, addressing the situation with psychoanalytic depth. Relatable to anyone who recognizes the stream of anxious thoughts along with feelings of isolation and abandonment, the gripping inner monologue in this latest novel from Graw also offers instances of relief, connecting all who feel equally stuck, frayed, and neurotic, and suggesting a collective route through this crisis-shaken world.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How recent shifts in social politics have dramatically changed our relationship to monuments.For centuries, monuments have telegraphed the values and origin myths of dominant culture in public space and on massive scale. They have signaled both who is part of a culture and who is not, often overlook…ing histories that complicate the stories they tell. Yet in the last 50 years in the United States, the role of monuments has changed significantly. Numerous historical monuments have been removed or toppled, bringing to the fore a long-repressed conversation about the relationship between the monumental landscape and national identity. In Monumental, Cat Dawson takes up the social, political, and art historical causes and ramifications of this important shift.Examining the conditions that have led to and define this new era, Dawson reveals that these interventions are as indebted to the monumental tradition as they are to representational strategies that grew out of twentieth-century social justice efforts, from the Civil Rights movement to queer organizing during the AIDS crisis.Since 2014, a new generation of artists has established a groundbreaking role for monuments, calling into question the very notion of what a monument is through novel investigations of how symbolic structures can be made and what stories they can tell. This book tells the important story of that sea change.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first comprehensive treatment of active inference, an integrative perspective on brain, cognition, and behavior used across multiple disciplines.Active inference is a way of understanding sentient behaviora theory that characterizes perception, planning, and action in terms of probabilist…ic inference. Developed by theoretical neuroscientist Karl Friston over years of groundbreaking research, active inference provides an integrated perspective on brain, cognition, and behavior that is increasingly used across multiple disciplines including neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy. Active inference puts the action into perception. This book offers the first comprehensive treatment of active inference, covering theory, applications, and cognitive domains. Active inference is a "first principles" approach to understanding behavior and the brain, framed in terms of a single imperative to minimize free energy. The book emphasizes the implications of the free energy principle for understanding how the brain works. It first introduces active inference both conceptually and formally, contextualizing it within current theories of cognition. It then provides specific examples of computational models that use active inference to explain such cognitive phenomena as perception, attention, memory, and planning.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A landmark publication in computer-generated poetry drawn from the works of Gertrude Stein.The Stein poems of Jackson Mac Low (19222004) were written between 1998 and 2003. Comprising more than 500 pages of text, this edited series of 161 poemsmost of them never publishedis the poet's last gr…eat work, composed during the final years of a lifetime of prolific creation.The raw material of each poem was produced through Mac Low's diastic text-selection method of reading through passages of either Ulla E. Dydo's A Stein Reader or a corrected version of Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons. Guided by Charles O. Hartman's 1994 DIASTEX5 computer program, which replicates the diastic method first developed by Mac Low in 1963, the process requires that words be drawn sequentially from the source text in accordance with their rule-driven, algorithmic correspondence with a seed text.Taken as a whole, these poems are a breathtaking invitation to the reader into a space of creative possibilities and unforeseen encounters.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A new way of viewing language, as a dynamic mode of meaning-making of which gesture is a fundamental part.When David McNeill began his work on gesture more than forty years ago, language and the action of speaking were regarded as separate realms. But language, says McNeill in Language Is Ges…ture, is dynamic and gesture is fundamental to speaking. Central to his conception of language, and distinct from linguistic analysis, is what McNeill calls the "growth point," the starting point of making thought and speech one. He uses the term "gesturespeech unity" to refer to the dynamic dimension of adding gesture to speaking. It is the growth point that achieves this unity, whereby thought is embedded in gesture and speech at the same time.Gesture is the engine of language. It is foundational to speaking, language acquisition, the origin of language, animal communication, thought, and consciousness. Gesture is global and synthetic and brings energy; speech is linear and segmented and brings cultural standards. The growth point is a snapshot of an utterance at its beginning psychological stage, the starting point of unifying thought and speech. Growth points create gesturespeech unity by synchronizing a bundle of linguistic features with a gesture that carries the same meaning. This gesturespeech unity is a form of thought, a unique form of cognition.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A critical and underexplored area of bioethicsethical issues that emerge from the data monitoring of clinical trials.Data Safety Monitoring Boards explores ethical issues confronted by data safety monitoring boards, or DSMBs, overseeing large randomized clinical trials. DSMBs meet on a regula…r basis to ensure that the expected benefits of a study continue to outweigh its risks and that side effects are monitored. They are empowered to recommend to study sponsors that studies be halted if ethical protections fail.Written by bioethicist Deborah Barnbaum, who has served as a clinical ethicist and patient advocate on several DSMBs for the National Institutes of Health since 2006, this book combines compelling narratives about clinical trials, the ethical quandaries that emerge when overseeing those studies, and the theoretical considerations that guide the practices of DSMBs.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A defense of scientific realism based on the role of idealization in the cognitive sciences.We study nature, including the mind and brain, by building scientific models. In The Idealized Mind, Michael Kirchhoff brings together ideas from the philosophy of cognitive science and the philosophy…of science to reconcile scientific realism with model-based science. His defense of scientific realismthe view that one reasonable aim of science is to provide true (or approximately true) descriptions of realityis based on the role of idealization in the cognitive sciences. Idealization, he claims, is inevitable in cognitive science; at the same time, any understanding of the mind and brain must show how it is possible for scientific models to be reliably used to make truth-conditional assertions about their target phenomena.A central error in most theorizing about the mind, Kirchhoff claims, is to confuse the properties of scientific models with those of the system being modeled. But scientific models are, almost exclusively and unavoidably, idealizations of the world we seek to understand. They are descriptions of hypothetical systems, things that do not actually exist in nature. Specifically, Kirchhoff uses insights on idealization in science to assess the status and standing of three foundational issues in cognitive science: neural representation, neural computation, and the prospects for explanatory unification. He also explains why it is a mistake to approach neural representation and neural computation through the metaphysical stances of realism, fictionalism, or eliminativism.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A mathematical formalization of Chomsky's theory of Merge in generative linguistics.The Minimalist Program advanced by Noam Chomsky thirty years ago, focusing on the biological nature of human language, has played a central role in our modern understanding of syntax. One key to this program i…s the notion that the hierarchical structure of human language syntax consists of a single operation Merge. For the first time, Mathematical Structure of Syntactic Merge presents a complete and precise mathematical formalization of Chomsky's most recent theory of Merge. It both furnishes a new way to explore Merge's important linguistic implications clearly while also laying to rest any fears that the Minimalist framework based on Merge might itself prove to be formally incoherent.In this book, Matilde Marcolli, Noam Chomsky, and Robert C. Berwick prove that Merge can be described as a very particular kind of highly structured algebra. Additionally, the book shows how Merge can be placed within a consistent framework that includes both a syntactic-semantic interface that realizes Chomsky's notion of a conceptual-intentional interface, and an externalization system that realizes language-specific constraints. The syntax-semantics interface encompasses many current semantical theories and offers deep insights into the ways that modern "large language models" work, proving that these do not undermine in any way the scientific theories of language based on generative grammar.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A study of Albert Kahn Incorporatedthe architecture firm closely associated with the Ford Motor Company and other auto companiesthat explores capitalism and political economy through the built environment of industry and culture.In Albert Kahn Inc. Claire Zimmerman provides a history of second-wave…industrialization associated with the growth and development of the United States auto industry and its global footprint. A forensic analysis of the "architects of Ford," the book theorizes how building and capitalism intersected in the case of twentieth-century industrial buildings, but also in other kinds of architecture and in the built environment writ large. Generally a marginal subject in histories of architecture, industrialism here exposes the expansionist modern project in Western architecture and culture, which was based on natural resource extraction and labor exploitation. With more than 140 full-color illustrations, the book combines an analysis of industrial architecture with compelling photographic evidence drawn from assorted archives.Zimmerman offers a political economy of architecture; reconceptualizes the design process within a high-volume firm in dialogue with fast-paced industrial capitalism; tracks the feedback loops that industrialization introduced into architecture; and maps the unequal effects of these industrial environments on the workers who labored within them. Ultimately, Zimmerman shows how the coalition of US private capital and state power built industrial installations as imperialist projects, and how its practices survive to the present day.
