An Introduction to Data Science With Python
by Jeffrey S. Saltz Jeffrey Morgan StantonAn Introduction to Data Science with Python by Jeffrey S. Saltz and Jeffery M. Stanton provides readers who are new to Python and data science with a step-by-step walkthrough of the tools and techniques used to analyze data and generate predictive models. After introducing the basic concepts of data science, the book builds on these foundations to explain data science techniques using Python-based Jupyter Notebooks. The techniques include making tables and data frames, computing statistics, managing data, creating data visualizations, and building machine learning models. Each chapter breaks down the process into simple steps and components so students with no more than a high school algebra background will still find the concepts and code intelligible. Explanations are reinforced with linked practice questions throughout to check reader understanding. The book also covers advanced topics such as neural networks and deep learning, the basis of many recent and startling advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence. With their trademark humor and clear explanations, Saltz and Stanton provide a gentle introduction to this powerful data science tool.

Julian of Norwich and the Ecological Crisis: Restoring Porosity (Routledge Science and Religion Series)
by Claire GilbertThis book presents ecological insights drawn from a reading of Julian of Norwich, considering how effectively she can help us in our current plight. The argument is that to address the ecological crisis with the mindset that created it will only cause more problems, and that to really undo the harm humanity has done and continues to do will take a transformation of selfhood and hence of perception, from the Gestell, technological self that is the child of the Enlightenment to the porous self that we truly are, underneath our buffered, separated, controlling and lonely exterior. The author suggests Julian of Norwich’s text Revelations of Divine Love has the power to effect this transformation if we can learn to read it as disciples, not masters, just as Julian received and responded to her revelations as a performative, porous, receptive disciple. The chapters describe the technological mindset and its causal relationship with the ecological crisis, and articulate in detail how, if they are to transform us, we must read the Julian texts, taking first steps away from our technological selves as we do so. The book then takes significant passages from Julian and reads them in the performative, porous way that has been recommended. It will be of particular interest to scholars of theology and ecology, as well as medieval mysticism.

Law, Literature, and Violence Against Women: Ending the Victim Blame Game
by Erin L. KelleyThis book engages legal and literary texts in order to examine acquaintance crimes, such as rape, sexual harassment, stalking, and domestic abuse, and to challenge how the victim’s physical or psychological "freeze response" is commonly and inaccurately mistaken for her consent.Following increased interest in the #MeToo movement and the discoveries of sexual abuse by numerous public figures, this book analyzes themes in law and literature that discredit victims and protect wrongdoers. Interpreting a present-day novel alongside legislation and written court cases, each chapter pairs a fictional text with a nonfictional counterpart. In these pairings, the themes, events, and arguments of each are carefully unpacked and compared against one another. As the cross-readings unfold, we learn that a victim does not "ask for it," and she should not arouse suspicions just because she does not fight, run away, or report the crime. Instead, and as this book demonstrates, the more common and most practical response is to become physically and mentally paralyzed by fear; the victim dissociates, shuts down, and remains stuck in the fright and captivity of abuse.This book will interest scholars and students working in, and especially at the intersection of, law, literature, gender studies, and criminology.

Letters from Lexington: Reflections on Propaganda (Chomsky from Routledge)
by Noam ChomskyUpon its original publication in 1993, Letters from Lexington reaffirmed Noam Chomsky's status as one of the most incisive critics of the American media. Reissued with a new foreword by Chomsky’s long-term collaborator, radio broadcaster David Barsamian, this prescient book remains startlingly relevant in our current age of disinformation and “fake news.”Throughout the book, Chomsky critiques the media’s complicity in US domestic and foreign policy. In particular, Chomsky's analyses of the politics of the Reagan and earlier Bush administrations offer illuminating perspectives on the events, key players, and policies that would continue to shape America's national agenda during the presidency of George W. Bush and the “War on Terrorism.”Letters from Lexington remains an indispensable guide to the American propaganda machine and the shibboleths of the mainstream media. As such, this book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in the media and US domestic and foreign policy, as well as serve as a vital tool for activists and general readers seeking to question dubious narratives put forward by the mainstream media.
