Advances in Phytoplankton Ecology: Applications of Emerging TechnologiesPhytoplankton ecology has developed from an understanding of taxonomy, species dynamics and functional roles, and species interactions with the surrounding environment. New and emerging technologies enable a paradigm shift in the ways we monitor and understand phytoplankton in a range of environments. Advances in Phytoplankton Ecology: Applications of Emerging Technologies is a practical guide to these new technologies and explores their application with case studies to show how recent advances have changed our understanding of phytoplankton ecology.Part one of this book explores how traditional taxonomy and species identification has changed, moving from morphological to molecular techniques. Part two explores the new technologies for remote and automatic monitoring and sensor technology and applications for management. Part three explores the explosion of omics techniques and their application in species identification, functional populations, trait characterization, interspecific interactions, and interaction with their environment.This book is an invaluable guide for marine and freshwater ecology researchers to how new technologies can enhance our understanding of ecology. Combines traditional techniques with new technologies and methods Explores the influence of new technology on our understanding of phytoplankton ecology Provides practical applications of each technique through case studies in each chapterISBN 10: 012822861XISBN 13: 9780128228616
Affective Early Childhood Pedagogy for Infant-Toddlers -Policy and Pedagogy with Under-three Year Olds: Cross-disciplinary Insights and Innovations, 3This exciting new book brings fresh knowledge of affective pedagogies in early childhood education and care. The book draws on cultural-historical theory in alignment with visual methodologies to elucidate infant-toddlers’ affective pedagogies through analysis of case examples. The book reveals contemporary pedagogical practices in the infant-toddler space like mealtimes, nappy change and play. These pedagogical practices show the highly specialised nature of working with infant-toddlers such as the affective relations between educators and infant-toddlers, affective dialogue, affective engagement, and the creation of affective spaces. The value of collaboration is highlighted through creating an affective space for educators to become aware, reflect and position themselves as effective and affective educators. The book introduces innovative methodological tools such as images and collective drawings for collaborative reflection.ISBN 10: 3030735265ISBN 13: 9783030735265
AI Sapien: Variations on Architecture and the FutureAI Sapien unveils a paradigm-shifting vision of the future where artificial intelligence (AI) transforms architecture into thinking machines.

Presenting a future where AI and habitat are inextricably linked, this book reveals new insights into AI's enigmatic "Black Box.”ISBN 10: 1961856360ISBN 13: 9781961856363
AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the DifferenceFrom two of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI, what you need to know about AI—and how to defend yourself against bogus AI claims and productsConfused about AI and worried about what it means for your future and the future of the world? You’re not alone. AI is everywhere—and few things are surrounded by so much hype, misinformation, and misunderstanding. In AI Snake Oil, computer scientists Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor cut through the confusion to give you an essential understanding of how AI works and why it often doesn’t, where it might be useful or harmful, and when you should suspect that companies are using AI hype to sell AI snake oil—products that don’t work, and probably never will.While acknowledging the potential of some AI, such as ChatGPT, AI Snake Oil uncovers rampant misleading claims about the capabilities of AI and describes the serious harms AI is already causing in how it’s being built, marketed, and used in areas such as education, medicine, hiring, banking, insurance, and criminal justice. The book explains the crucial differences between types of AI, why organizations are falling for AI snake oil, why AI can’t fix social media, why AI isn’t an existential risk, and why we should be far more worried about what people will do with AI than about anything AI will do on its own. The book also warns of the dangers of a world where AI continues to be controlled by largely unaccountable big tech companies.By revealing AI’s limits and real risks, AI Snake Oil will help you make better decisions about whether and how to use AI at work and home.ISBN 10: 069124913XISBN 13: 9780691249131
Alfabetismo, escritura, sociedad: Prólogo de Roger Chartier y Jean Hébrard -Spanish EditionA partir de una disciplina erudita como es la paleografía –el estudio de la escritura y de los signos en libros y documentos antiguos– el célebre medievalista italiano Armando Petrucci nos presenta la apasionante historia de los libros y la lectura en Occidente en esta obra clásica y referente indiscutible en su campo. De la práctica del «escribir sin leer» característica de la alta Edad Media, hasta los libros de mano o de alforja, que llegarán años después de la invención de la imprenta, Petrucci nos acompaña en un fascinante viaje para conocer los modos en que la tinta, la pasta, la cola y demás materias se entremezclaron para generar un universo de sentido que ha marcado el desarrollo de la historia europea y universal. Este libro analiza con ingenio e inteligencia la construcción de la vasta biblioteca de Occidente para descubrir los fascinantes entresijos de la cultura del libro y, en suma, los fundamentos materiales de nuestras formas de pensar.ISBN 10: 8418193131ISBN 13: 9788418193132
Álgebra linear e suas aplicações"A álgebra linear não trata apenas de matrizes e sistemas lineares. A sua essência está no estudo dos espaços vetoriais e das transformações lineares. Suas aplicações são tão abrangentes que sua compreensão se tornou fundamental para economistas, administradores, físicos, engenheiros e outros cientistas. Ela também se faz presente nos diversos ramos da matemática, aparecendo em disciplinas como cálculo, equações diferenciais, matemática discreta, estatística, análise numérica e outras. Sendo assim, a álgebra linear se tornou uma ferramenta indispensável em quase todas as áreas da matemática e ciências afins.O livro apresenta os tópicos na sequência costumeira, mas a abordagem é feita de modo diferenciado. Os conceitos e métodos são introduzidos a partir de exemplos e posteriormente desenvolvidos e formalizados. Ao final de cada capítulo são dadas algumas aplicações do conteúdo em diversas áreas."ISBN 10: 8522107440ISBN 13: 9788522107445

Analysing Architecture: The universal language of place-makingNow in its fifth edition, Analysing Architecture has become internationally established as the best introduction to architecture. Aimed primarily at those studying architecture, it offers a clear and accessible insight into the workings of this rich and fascinating subject. With copious illustrations from his own notebooks, the author dissects examples from around the world and all periods of history to explain the underlying strategies in architectural design and show how drawing may be used as a medium for analysis.In this new edition, Analysing Architecture has been revised and expanded. Notably, the chapter on ‘How Analysis Can Help Design’ has been redeveloped to clearly explain this crucially important aspect of study to a beginner readership. Four new chapters have been added to the section dealing with Themes in Spatial Organisation, on ‘Axis’, ‘Grid’, ‘Datum Place’ and ‘Hidden’. Material from the 'Case Studies' in previous editions has been redistributed amongst earlier chapters. The ‘Introduction' has been completely rewritten; and the format of the whole book has been adjusted to allow for the inclusion of more and better illustrative examples.Works of architecture are instruments for managing, orchestrating, modifying our relationship with the world around us. They frame just about everything we do. Architecture is complex, subtle, frustrating… but ultimately extremely rewarding. It can be a difficult discipline to get to grips with; nothing in school quite prepares anyone for the particular demands of an architecture course. But this book will help.www.instagram.com/analysingarchitectureISBN 10: 0367523574ISBN 13: 9780367523572
