Puerto Rico: A National History
by null Jorell Meléndez-BadilloA panoramic history of Puerto Rico from pre-Columbian times to todayPuerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking territory of the United States with a history shaped by conquest and resistance. For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated complex ideas about nationhood. Jorell Meléndez-Badillo provides a new history of Puerto Rico that gives voice to the archipelago&’s people while offering a lens through which to understand the political, economic, and social challenges confronting them today.In this masterful work of scholarship, Meléndez-Badillo sheds light on the vibrant cultures of the archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus and captures the full sweep of Puerto Rico&’s turbulent history in the centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection against colonial rule in 1511—led by the powerful chieftain Agüeybaná II—to the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952. He deftly portrays the contemporary period and the intertwined though unequal histories of the archipelago and the continental United States.Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto Rico and the Caribbean but on the United States and the Atlantic world more broadly.Available in Spanish from our partners at Grupo Planeta
Somatic States: On Cartography, Geobodies, Bodily Integrity
by Franck BilléIn Somatic States, Franck Billé examines the conceptual link between the nation-state and the body, particularly the visceral and affective attachment to the state and the symbolic significance of its borders. Billé argues that corporeal analogies to the nation-state are not simply poetic or allegorical but reflect a genuine association of the individual body with the national outline—an identification greatly facilitated by the emergence of the national map. Billé charts the evolution of cartographic practices and the role that political maps have played in transforming notions of territorial sovereignty. He shows how states routinely and effectively mobilize corporeal narratives, such as framing territorial loss through metaphors of dismemberment and mutilation. Despite the current complexity of geopolitics and neoliberalism, Billé demonstrates that corporeality and bodily metaphors remain viscerally powerful because they offer a seemingly simple way to apprehend the abstract nature of the nation-state.

Complex Variable Function Solutions in the Mechanical Analysis of Tunnels
by Aizhong Lu Huaning Wang Luqing ZhangThis book covers the mechanical problems of tunnels in traffic, hydraulic and mining engineering. By extending the complex variable method in mechanical analysis, it proposes accurate analytical solutions for tunnels. The solutions are further applied to the back analysis of tunnels, hole shape optimization, support design and estimation of tunnel stability. The considered rock characteristics involve elasticity, elastoplasticity, viscoelasticity and anisotropy, and various geometric conditions are included, such as circular/noncircular single/multiple tunnels with/without support at deep/shallow depths. Some original achievements are provided, including new mapping functions for complex regions, precise determination of the noncircular plastic zone around single/twin tunnels and related elastoplastic solutions and quantitative analysis of the interaction between rock and the support, which are new developments of theory and method in rock mechanics. The proposed analyticalsolutions are reliable tools to initially estimate the design parameters and achieve optimal design, providing guidance in the conceptual stage of the design process. They can clearly reveal the influences of parameters in functional form and provide a benchmark against which the overall correctness of numerical analyses can be assessed. This book summarizes the author's research achievements over more than 20 years. It is a valuable reference for professionals working in geotechnical engineering.

AI: A Broad and a Different Perspective (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Paolo Massimo Buscema Weldon A. Lodwick Giulia Massini Pier Luigi Sacco Masoud Asadi-Zeydabadi Francis Newman Riccardo Petritoli Marco BredaOne of the primary objectives of this book is to highlight the profound difference between two types of AI that pursue distinct goals: emulative AI, which seeks to build machines whose output is similar to, or even superior to, that of the human brain, and investigative AI, whose purpose is to make invisible information within data visible by uncovering the laws through which individual behaviors self-organize into collective behaviors. The former is better known, as it serves as a useful tool for automating human labor and generating market profits; the latter is less widely recognized but is more scientifically oriented towards saving lives (in the medical field), explaining otherwise inexplicable phenomena (in the geophysical field), and enhancing our understanding of the material and abstract world. Both are valuable yet distinct: the emulative approach generates immediate profits and creates illusions of human-like power, while the investigative approach enhances fundamental scientific research and will yield its greatest benefits over time. The investigative approach presented in this volume seeks to rebuild the bridge between humanity and nature.

Radical Approaches to the Care Crisis: Solidarity, Community and a National Care Service
by null Anne M. GrayThis book explores the critical issue of how to manage the ever-increasing demand for social care in Britain’s ageing society. With informal care from family members and friends now the dominant form of adult social care in the UK, this precarious system is struggling to provide enough support. Exploring the relationship between formal and informal care, this book develops ideas for a ‘caring economy’, showing the potential to integrate paid-for and unpaid care within a framework of solidarity based on the strengths of the community, working to improve the quality and quantity of state-funded care provision while sharing unpaid support more widely as a community responsibility.
Reel Freedom: Black Film Culture in Early Twentieth-Century New York City (Urban Life, Landscape and Policy)
by Alyssa LopezReel Freedom intimately captures the relationship between Black film culture and space in New York City. Alyssa Lopez argues that Black film culture, from its origins in the early twentieth century to its firm establishment in the 1930s, was necessarily both entertainment and resistance, connected as it was to Black New Yorkers’ demands for access and equality in the city. Lopez investigates how ordinary people, labor activists, journalists, filmmakers, theater managers, and owners all shaped Black film culture. Black girls and women used moviegoing as a means of independence and control over their lives. Race filmmaker Oscar Micheaux fought with New York State’s censorship board to get his films screened with limited edits in local theaters. And Harlem’s Black projectionists battled for unionization and fair pay, while journalists linked cinema to Black New Yorkers’ lived experiences. In Reel Freedom, Lopez chronicles the wide-ranging and remarkable pervasiveness of Black film culture in New York City, redefining a period and place most associated with the Harlem Renaissance. In doing so, she illustrates how Black New Yorkers leveraged cinema to make the city their own and to enjoy urban living to its fullest. In the series Urban Life, Landscape, and Policy
The Titanic Files (Vol.1): Collected Writings on RMS Titanic

Running the Tapes: Finding the Courage to Speak Up When Organizational Leadership Fails Us
by null Royce SparksThis practical and accessible exploration of ethics in organizational leadership contains several underlying themes: first, that even the most morally stalwart organizations are vulnerable to the ethical challenges that come from failings of leadership, particularly executive leadership. A great focus today is being paid to the idea of toxic work environments, and while explorations of culture, team building, and language are all valuable pieces of this discussion, at its heart this is a question of leadership. Stripping away authority as a requisite for leadership empowers everyone at all levels of an organization to take a higher level of ownership over their leadership skills, to become a voice of action and protection for their teammates and the organization when the conventional safeguards of the workplace fail them. The common term for these individuals may be whistleblowers, but rather, are they instead models of leadership that organizations should be paying closer attention to? By drawing a constant dividing line between ethics and organizational interests, have we been missing a key middle ground this entire time? By redefining the boundaries of leadership through the lens of how to take action in a hostile workplace environment, this book offers a series of accessible strategies, principles, and examples that can be easily followed regardless of rank or position. Based on his consulting work, the author recounts actual ethical investigations of egregious workplace violations. To make this book even more valuable, the author offers strategies for how to parse grievances from genuine wrongdoings, make decisions about how to handle delicate information, choose allies wisely, and prepare for both the consequences and sometimes benefits of bringing organizational wrongdoings to light. Finally, this book aims to inspire courage, nurture leadership growth at all levels, and offer leaders in positions of power a clear case for why opting for environments of ethical accountability is synonymous, rather than at odds, with an organization’s self-interest.
