Описание: What is meat? Is it simply food to consume, or a metaphor for our own bodies? Can “bloody” vegan burgers, petri dish beef, live animals, or human milk be categorized as meat? In pursuing these questions, the contributors to Meat! trace the shifting boundaries of the meanings of meat across time, geography, and cultures. In studies of chicken, fish, milk, barbecue, fake meat, animal sacrifice, cannibalism, exotic meat, frozen meat, and other manifestations of meat, they highlight meat's entanglements with race, gender, sexuality, and disability. From the imperial politics embedded in labeling canned white tuna as “the chicken of the sea” to the relationship between beef bans, yoga, and bodily purity in Hindu nationalist politics, the contributors demonstrate how meat is an ideal vantage point from which to better understand transnational circuits of power and ideology as well as the histories of colonialism, ableism, and sexism.

Описание: An accessible foray into botany's origins and how we can transform its future
Colonial ambitions spawned imperial attitudes, theories, and practices that remain entrenched within botany and across the life sciences. Banu Subramaniam draws on fields as disparate as queer studies, Indigenous studies, and the biological sciences to explore the labyrinthine history of how colonialism transformed rich and complex plant worlds into biological knowledge. Botany of Empire demonstrates how botany's foundational theories and practices were shaped and fortified in the aid of colonial rule and its extractive ambitions. We see how colonizers obliterated plant time's deep history to create a reductionist system that imposed a Latin-based naming system, drew on the imagined sex lives of European elites to explain plant sexuality, and discussed foreign plants like foreign humans. Subramanian then pivots to imagining a more inclusive and capacious field of botany untethered and decentered from its origins in histories of racism, slavery, and colonialism. This vision harnesses the power of feminist and scientific thought to chart a course for more socially just practices of experimental biology.
A reckoning and a manifesto, Botany of Empire provides experts and general readers alike with a roadmap for transforming the colonial foundations of plant science.

Описание:
Big Data analytics and machine learning are being adopted in a range of industries – but how can these technologies be utilised and what can they offer to the tourism industry? In the process of their journeys and in their decision-making processes, people who travel contribute to the generation of a huge flow of data; all this information is a potential base for creating smart destinations and improving tourism organizations’ potential to customize their products and service offerings.
The real execution of such inventive forms of data-driven value generation in tourism continues to be more restricted to the theory or used in a few exceptional cases. Big data and machine learning techniques in tourism persists as an unclear concept and a subject of investigation that necessitates closer analysis from an extensive range of field and research methods. Big Data Analytics for the Prediction of Tourist Preferences Worldwide tackles this challenge, exploring the benefits, importance and demonstrates how Big Data can be applied in predicting tourist preferences and delivering tourism services in a customer friendly manner.
The authors provide theoretical and experiential contributions designed to see a wider adoption of these technologies in the tourism industry.

Описание: In a stimulating interchange between feminist studies and biology, Banu Subramaniam explores how her dissertation on flower color variation in morning glories launched her on an intellectual odyssey that engaged the feminist studies of sciences in the experimental practices of science by tracing the central and critical idea of variation in biology.
Subramaniam reveals the histories of eugenics and genetics and their impact on the metaphorical understandings of difference and diversity that permeate common understandings of differences among people exist in contexts that seem distant from the so-called objective hard sciences. Journeying into interdisciplinary areas that range from the social history of plants to speculative fiction, Subramaniam uncovers key relationships between the life sciences, women's studies, evolutionary and invasive biology, and the history of ecology, and how ideas of diversity and difference emerged and persist in each field.

Описание:
China's rise to great-power status is one of the most significant issues of the twenty-first century. Will the People's Republic be able to complete this process peacefully? And what are the security, economic and governance implications for the rest of the world?
The majority of scholars approach these questions from one of two perspectives: competitive security and power (realism) or complementary economic self-interest (liberalism). In this book, Christopher Herrick, Zheya Gai and Surain Subramaniam offer a constructivist alternative, arguing that China's prospects for achieving great-power status peacefully depend more on domestic and international perceptions of the country's rise - perceptions rooted in such factors as historical experience and national image.
Early chapters explore the Chinese mindset and historical experience, as well as foreign attitudes to China and applicable international relations theory. The authors then proceed to look at three dimensions of Chinese policy - security, economics and governance - situating them within the context of China's relations with Asian neighbours (India, Japan and the states of Southeast Asia), existing international powers (the European Union, Russia and the United States) and emergent trading partners (Africa). At the heart of the book is an analysis of how increased economically beneficial trade with China affects historically based negative perceptions.
Accessible enough for undergraduates but full of material that will challenge academics and policymakers, China's peaceful rise is essential reading for those with interests in Chinese foreign policy, East Asia and international relations.
