Описание: Embodiments of Mind, first published more than two decades ago, teems with intriguing concepts about the mind/brain that are highly relevant to current developments in neuroscience and neural networks.
Preface by Jerome Y. Lettvin. Warren S. McCulloch was an original thinker, in many respects far ahead of his time. Of all our contemporaries in brain research McCulloch is the most personal, idiosyncratic... he is at the center, the pivot of a whirligig of explosive thinking, wrote a colleague in 1966. Embodiments of Mind, first published more than two decades ago, teems with intriguing concepts about the mind/brain that are highly relevant to current developments in neuroscience and neural networks. In his preface to this timely reissue of McCulloch's work, Jerome Lettvin notes in particular that among the papers are two classics coauthored with Walter Pitts. One applies Boolean algebra to neurons considered as gates; another shows the kind of nervous circuitry that could be used in perceiving universals. These first models are part of the basis of artificial intelligence. McCulloch, who was a doctor, a philosopher, a teacher, a mathematician and a poet, terms his work experimental epistemology.
In this collection of 21 essays and lectures he pursues a physiological theory of knowledge that touches on philosophy, neurology, and psychology: There is one answer, only one, toward which I've groped for thirty years; to find out how brains work...Chapters range from What is a Number, that a Man May Know It, and a Man, that He May Know a Number, and Why the Mind is in the Head, to What the Frog's Eye Tells the Frog's Brain (with Jerome Lettvin, Humberto Maturana, and Walter Pitts), Machines that Think and Want, and A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity (with Walter Pitts). Embodiments of Mind concludes with a selection of McCulloch's poems and sonnets.
Have you ever wanted to be as bright as a firefly, as wise as an owl, or as brave as a lion? With God, all things are possible There is so much to learn from God's animals, and He has created every one of them to teach us how to become more like Him.
In God's Little Creatures: A Children's Daily Devotional with Animal Facts to Help Teach God's Word, author Heather McCulloch explores the special gifts and talents that God gave each animal and how they can help you grow deeper in the Word of God. With fun facts and Bible verses along the way, this easy-to-understand devotional illustrates life lessons and spiritual truth from some of your favorite animals.
On this exciting journey through the animal kingdom, you'll discover how Jesus Christ can make you as beautiful as a butterfly and as safe and secure as a wolf in his pack. You'll even find out which animals will teach you what you should not do, like the chameleon, who blends in with the crowd.
Come along on an adventure as you learn more about the Bible and meet animals from all over the world, each with amazing traits that reveal the glory of God. Just like all of His little critters, God has created you with a unique design. You are one of His little creatures, and He loves you
Heather McCulloch is a mother of three and an elementary school teacher, and she teaches the Kids 4 Christ group at her church. McCulloch has always dreamed of writing children's books, but she never knew that God would call her to write a devotional soon after the birth of her third child. "This book was truly a work of God," she says. "He just used my hands to write His words. I praise Him and thank Him for pushing me to use the gift He gave me." While writing God's Little Creatures, McCulloch knew that God had called her to use her talents to reach others for His glory. Her children love this devotional book and ask her to read it to them every night.

Описание: The Emerald Handbook of Criminology, Feminism and Social Change combines a wide range of international contributors to chart the uneasy relationship between feminism, criminology and victimology. It explores historical and contemporary questions posed for criminology and victimology by feminist work. The book is split into four sections: part one discovers the origins of feminist criminology; part two showcases research and broadens the conceptual and spatial horizons of feminist criminological endeavour through the inclusion of voices from the Global South, setting a challenging agenda for those in the Global North to listen to. Part three, ‘Extending the Criminological Agenda’, illustrates how feminist thought has pushed the boundaries of criminological work to offer more nuanced approaches to thinking about crime and criminal victimisation, and introduce differently problematic behaviour into the orbit of the discipline. Finally, part four looks ahead to set the agenda for the future relationship between feminism and criminology. Comprehensive and current, this handbook provides fresh insight and commentary on the capacity of criminology to listen to feminist voices and is essential reading for anyone interested in feminism, criminology and social change.

Описание: THE ACCLAIMED NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Because Internet is for anyone who's ever puzzled over how to punctuate a text message or wondered where memes come from. It's the perfect book for understanding how the internet is changing the English language, why that's a good thing, and what our online interactions reveal about who we are.
Language is humanity's most spectacular open-source project, and the internet is making our language change faster and in more interesting ways than ever before. Internet conversations are structured by the shape of our apps and platforms, from the grammar of status updates to the protocols of comments and @replies. Linguistically inventive online communities spread new slang and jargon with dizzying speed.
What's more, social media is a vast laboratory of unedited, unfiltered words where we can watch language evolve in real time. Even the most absurd-looking slang has genuine patterns behind it. Internet linguist Gretchen McCulloch explores the deep forces that shape human language and influence the way we communicate with one another.
She explains how your first social internet experience influences whether you prefer 'LOL' or 'lol', why ~sparkly tildes~ succeeded where centuries of proposals for irony punctuation had failed, what emoji have in common with physical gestures, and how the artfully disarrayed language of animal memes like lolcats and doggo made them more likely to spread. 'McCulloch is such a disarming writer - lucid, friendly, unequivocally excited about her subject - that I began to marvel at the flexibility of the online language she describes, with its numerous shades of subtlety.'
