CALL Research Perspectives (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)
by Joy L. Egbert Gina Mikel PetrieCALL Research Perspectives creates a foundation for the study and practice of computer-assisted language learning and provides an overview of ways to conceptualize and to conduct research in CALL. Its core assumptions are that all approaches to research have a place, and that researchers, teachers, and students all have a role to play in the study of computer-enhanced language learning.This is not a how-to-do-research text. Written by top researchers in the field, it offers an open-ended view of what educators need to know and be able to do to answer questions that they have. It is intended to be easy to read, to provide resources for readers to explore the ideas further, and to be non-prescriptive in presenting suggestions for CALL research. The text explores problems with current CALL research and suggests ways that teachers and other researchers can avoid such problems; presents both commonly known and less explored theories that provide a foundation for CALL and language research; and addresses other issues and ideas that affect research outcomes.An outstanding feature of CALL Research Perspectives is that it complements not only other CALL texts but also research texts of all kinds. The issues found in each chapter parallel the issues in other research texts, making this text useful for addressing the needs of teachers and researchers at different levels and in different contexts. In addition, the consistent format throughout makes it accessible to readers with a variety of backgrounds. Each chapter includes an introduction, a review of relevant literature, a set of examples and/or suggestions for conducting research in CALL, and conclusions. The consistent format is intended for ease of use, but the content of chapters varies according to the author. This is intentional; it is a strength of the book that readers can hear the voices of the authors and listen to their understandings of the perspectives presented. It is the editors' hope that they will be inspired to seek out other voices as well.

Calma, vai correr tudo bem
by Sofia ArrudaO primeiro livro da actriz Sofia Arruda conta de uma forma intimista e com humor a sua experiência da gravidez e do pós-parto e fala de tudo sem complexos. Engravidar, ter um filho, amamentar, não dormir, recuperar. Milhões de mulheres o fazem diariamente, em todo o mundo, uma e outra vez. Entram na estrada da maternidade com um certo espírito de missão e sacrifício que faz com que, de longe, pareça uma coisa simples. Uma coisa fácil, para a qual todas as mulheres nascem. Mas não é verdade. Engravidar, ter um filho, amamentar, não dormir, recuperar é difícil. Muito difícil, mesmo quando se tem uma rede de apoio feita de pessoas disponíveis para ajudar. Sofia Arruda, actriz e mãe, gostava de ter sabido algumas coisas antes de ter entrado na aventura da maternidade. Gostava que lhe tivessem dito que a amamentação pode ser um processo doloroso, que não é normal sentir tristeza após o parto, ou mesmo que, quando nasce um bebé,nasce uma mãe carregada de culpa infundada. E como ninguém lhe disse, decidiu que seria ela a dizê-lo às mães (e pais) - as que já são e as que ainda vão ser. Partindo do relato da sua própria experiência, e recorrendo a testemunhos de outras mães e de profissionais de saúde como a enfermeira Carmen Ferreira, Clementina Almeida, psicóloga e fundadora da clínica For Babies Brain, e a fisioterapeuta Mariana Rosa, especializada em saúde da mulher, Sofia desconstrói uma série de mitos e crenças e dá ferramentas para que as mulheres possam tomar as rédeas do seu bem-estar durante a gravidez e o pós-parto.

The Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence
by Keith Frankish William M. RamseyArtificial intelligence, or AI, is a cross-disciplinary approach to understanding, modeling, and creating intelligence of various forms. It is a critical branch of cognitive science, and its influence is increasingly being felt in other areas, including the humanities. AI applications are transforming the way we interact with each other and with our environment, and work in artificially modeling intelligence is offering new insights into the human mind and revealing new forms mentality can take. <P> This volume of original essays presents the state of the art in AI, surveying the foundations of the discipline, major theories of mental architecture, the principal areas of research, and extensions of AI such as artificial life. With a focus on theory rather than technical and applied issues, the volume will be valuable not only to people working in AI, but also to those in other disciplines wanting an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to the field.
The Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus Linguistics
by Biber, Douglas and Reppen, Randi Douglas Biber Randi ReppenThe Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus Linguistics (CHECL) surveys the breadth of corpus-based linguistic research on English, including chapters on collocations, phraseology, grammatical variation, historical change, and the description of registers and dialects. The most innovative aspects of the CHECL are its emphasis on critical discussion, its explicit evaluation of the state of the art in each sub-discipline, and the inclusion of empirical case studies. While each chapter includes a broad survey of previous research, the primary focus is on a detailed description of the most important corpus-based studies in this area, with discussion of what those studies found, and why they are important. Each chapter also includes a critical discussion of the corpus-based methods employed for research in this area, as well as an explicit summary of new findings and discoveries.
The Cambridge Handbook of Information and Computer Ethics
by Luciano FloridiInformation and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have profoundly changed many aspects of life, including the nature of entertainment, work, communication, education, healthcare, industrial production and business, social relations and conflicts. They have had a radical and widespread impact on our moral lives and hence on contemporary ethical debates. The Cambridge Handbook of Information and Computer Ethics provides an ambitious and authoritative introduction to the field, with discussions of a range of topics including privacy, ownership, freedom of speech, responsibility, technological determinism, the digital divide, cyber warfare, and online pornography. It offers an accessible and thoughtful survey of the transformations brought about by ICTs and their implications for the future of human life and society, for the evaluation of behaviour, and for the evolution of moral values and rights. It will be a valuable book for all who are interested in the ethical aspects of the information society in which we live.
The Cambridge Handbook of Surveillance Law
by Henderson David Gray Stephen E.Surveillance presents a conundrum: how to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency while respecting privacy and individual liberty. From police officers to corporations to intelligence agencies, surveillance law is tasked with striking this difficult and delicate balance. That challenge is compounded by ever-changing technologies and evolving social norms. Following the revelations of Edward Snowden and a host of private-sector controversies, there is intense interest among policymakers, business leaders, attorneys, academics, students, and the public regarding legal, technological, and policy issues relating to surveillance. This handbook documents and organizes these conversations, bringing together some of the most thoughtful and impactful contributors to contemporary surveillance debates, policies, and practices. Its pages explore surveillance techniques and technologies; their value for law enforcement, national security, and private enterprise; their impacts on citizens and communities; and the many ways societies do - and should - regulate surveillance.
