A Course in Cyborg Semiotics - Mick Howard - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

A Course in Cyborg Semiotics - Mick Howard - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Mick Howard uses a Saussurean framework to explore how bodies and technologies intermingle through a theory of cyborg semiotics. Howard argues that, like words, this combination follows rules of language and can be fruitfully analyzed through the lens of the cyborg. Just as spelling and grammar dictate which words may be formed and in which order they may be sequenced, cyborg semiotics unveils the underlying rules governing how technologies and bodies can be combined to make meaning and how these cyborgs are permitted to interact with each other. This intersectional theory, Howard posits, provides a unique perspective on power and the human condition.

Todd Howard - Wendi (texas Christian University Sierra - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Todd Howard - Wendi (texas Christian University Sierra - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The newest addition to our Influential Video Game Designers series explores the work of Todd Howard, executive producer at Bethesda Studios, known for how he consistently pushes the boundaries of open-world gaming and player agency. Howard’s games create worlds in which players can design their own characters and tell their own stories. While many games tell the story of the game’s main character, Todd Howard’s worldbuilding approach to game design focuses more on telling the story of the game’s world, whether it be the high fantasy environments of the Elder Scrolls series or the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Fallout series. This focus on sculpting the world allows for remarkable amounts of player freedom and choice in an expansive game environment by creating a landscape rich with open opportunity. Drawing on both academic discussions of narrative, world design, and game design, as well as on officially released interviews, speeches, and presentations given by Howard and other designers at Bethesda Games, Wendi Sierra highlights three core areas set Howard’s design perspective apart from other designers: micronarratives, iterative design, and the sharing of design tools. Taken as a whole, these three elements demonstrate how Howard has used a worldbuilding perspective to shape his games. In doing so, he has impacted not only Bethesda Studios, but also the landscape of game design itself.

Hooked - Howard Brody - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Hooked - Howard Brody - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

For decades, medical professionals have betrayed the public''s trust by accepting various benefits from the pharmaceutical industry. Both drug company representatives and doctors employ artful spin to portray this behavior positively to the public, and to themselves. In Hooked, Howard Brody argues that we can neither understand the problem, nor propose helpful solutions until we identify the many levels of activity connecting these purportedly noble industries. We can pass laws and enact regulations, but ultimately the medical profession must take responsibility for its own integrity. Hooked is a wake-up call for anyone expecting high quality, ethical medical care.

Adoption across Borders - Howard Altstein - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

It is an invaluable source of data on the number and frequency of transracial and intercountry adoptions and on the attitudes toward them.

Everyday Bias - Howard J. Ross - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Everyday Bias - Howard J. Ross - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

To be human is to be biased. From this simple truth, nationally recognized diversity expert Howard J. Ross explores the biases we each carry within us. Incorporating anecdotes from today’s headlines alongside case studies from over 30 years of diversity consulting, Ross helps readers understand how unconscious bias impacts our day-to-day lives and, particularly, our daily work lives. And, he answers the question: “Is there anything we can do about it?” by providing examples of behaviors that the reader can engage in to disengage the impact of their own biases. Originally published in 2014, the updated edition draws new examples from today’s headlines such as the #me too Movement, police shootings, and bias in the ever more partisan Trump era.

Hooked - Howard Brody - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

For decades, medical professionals have been betraying the public''s trust by accepting various benefits from the pharmaceutical industry. Drug company representatives and doctors alike have promulgated creative rationalizations to portray this behavior positively, as if it really serves the interest of the public. In Hooked: Ethics, the Medical Profession, and the Pharmaceutical Industry, Howard Brody claims that we can neither understand the problem, nor propose helpful solutions until we fully recognize the many levels of activity that connect these two industries. Then, for real improvement to occur, the doctors themselves need to not only change their behavior, but also change how they view the actions of their peers and colleagues. We can pass laws and enact regulations, so that those physicians that do choose to focus on ethics won''t be in an environment where they feel as if they are swimming against too strong a current to make meaningful change, but ultimately a profession has to take responsibility for its own integrity.

Ceremonies of the Eucharist - Howard E. Gally - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Ceremonies of the Eucharist - Howard E. Gally - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

“Unlike liturgical manuals of the past, which were intended specifically for the use of the clergy, this book is directed to a wider audience—to members of parish worship committees, priests, organists and directors of music, lectors, deacons, cantors and other singers, bishops, altar guild members, acolytes—in short, to all who bear responsability for the planning and conduct of public worship.” —from the Preface So begins Howard Galley’s classic guide to the Eucharistic liturgy, The Ceremonies of the Eucharist. Galley opens his formidable liturgical learning and veteran ecclesial experience for all worshippers to access. Throughout, he enhances his suggestions for practice with “the rationale and historical background” for his recommendations.

Chesapeake Bay Blues - Howard R. Ernst - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Chesapeake Bay Blues - Howard R. Ernst - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Chesapeake Bay restoration effort has been touted as the nation''s premier environmental restoration program. Yet the Bay and the living systems it supports remain in dismally poor condition, with fisheries in decline and drinking water in danger. This book addresses the Chesapeake Bay as a political problem and reveals how the political process has worked against the interests of science, the public, and environmental advocates all at once. Author Howard Ernst shows that the forces driving environmental degradation are sown deeply into the political soul of America, posing menacing challenges to those fighting to restore large ecosystems like the Chesapeake Bay. The book serves as a political roadmap for the future, suggesting how a different course of policy action is needed to ''Save the Bay.''

Reinventing Diversity - Howard J. Ross - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Reinventing Diversity - Howard J. Ross - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Diversity in business and other organizations has been a goal for more than a quarter of a century, yet companies struggle to create an inclusive work place. In Reinventing Diversity, one of America''s leading diversity experts explains why most diversity programs fail and how we can make them work. In this inspiring guide, Howard Ross, uses interviews, personal stories, statistics, and case studies to show that there is no quick fix, no easy answer. Acceptance needs to become part of the culture of a company, not just a mandated attitude. People still feel alienated because of their race, language, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or culture. Many of these prejudices are unconscious and exclusions unintentional. Only through challenging our own preconceived notions about diversity can we build a productive and collaborative work environment in which all people are included.

Mis-Education in Schools - Howard Good - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Mis-Education in Schools - Howard Good - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In Mis-Education in Schools: Beyond the Slogans and Double-Talk, Howard Good uses his experiences as a parent, teacher, and school board member to explore what''s gone wrong with education and how to make it right. He takes the reader inside classrooms, locker rooms, school board meetings, and parent-teacher conferences to discover how our children are being educated -or, more often than not, miseducated. Good demonstrates that despite the ''children first'' rhetoric of educators, students are often ill served by teachers, principals, guidance counselors, coaches, and school boards. Readers will be challenged by Good''s candid perspective and engaged by his energetic prose. Mis-Education in Schools isn''t just another education book. It cuts through the double talk that characterizes so much of the debate over education today, exposing the troubling gap between what schools preach and what they actually practice.

Development on the Periphery - Howard J. Wiarda - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Development on the Periphery - Howard J. Wiarda - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In Development on the Periphery, noted scholar Howard J. Wiarda tackles the important question of development in Southern and Eastern Europe. Comparing the two regions gives us insight into the similarities and differences that have united and separated these areas for thousands of years. Both areas have undergone impressive transitions to democracy, experienced vast social changes, embraced open markets, developed Western political party systems, and joined the EU and NATO. However, the differences between the regions, and in particular, their individual countries, show us that development occurs by many routes—and that culture, geographic location, and timing do matter. The transitions to democracy of both Southern and Eastern Europe are among the most encouraging and exciting events of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and students of the region will benefit from this accessible and thorough comparative study.

Comparative Politics - Howard J. Wiarda - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Beginning with an introduction to the field of comparative politics, this clear and complete text moves on to explore new, innovative directions in the field. Leading scholar Howard J. Wiarda explores its main approaches, including political development, political culture, dependency theory, corporatism, indigenous theories of change, state-society relations, rational choice, and the new institutionalism.

What works in the effort to develop the poorer nations and what doesn''t? Where are we headed with such frontier research issues as comparative environmental policy, women''s rights, and gay rights? The book concludes with a stimulating discussion of whether the great systems debates of the past (socialism vs. capitalism, democracy vs. authoritarianism) are now over and points to some of the next important study and research frontiers.

It's Not "One More Thing" - Christy Howard - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

It's Not "One More Thing" - Christy Howard - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Ticknor, Howard, and Overstreet offer educators insights into the how-tos of culturally responsive pedagogy. They build on their experiences and research of CRP to offer vignettes of literacy instruction that may be common in K-12 classrooms. These examples are offered as a way to situate how teachers may use research based and effective literacy practices while ignoring the identities and experiences of their students. Then disrupt the vignettes using theories and concepts presented in the chapter to make visible how each practice could be reimagined to integrate more culturally responsive strategies. Example lessons and activities are provided in each chapter that offer readers glimpses into CRP thinking and decision making. Guiding prompts are also included for readers to use the chapter topic and example lessons to consider ways to be more culturally responsive teachers for their students and in their local communities.

Self-Management and the Crisis of Socialism - Michael W. Howard - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Self-Management and the Crisis of Socialism - Michael W. Howard - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

While some conclude from the revolutions of 1989 that socialism is dead, interest in socialism continues because of persisting problems of contemporary capitalism. In this exciting text, Michael W. Howard offers critiques of liberal, communitarian, postmodern and some Marxist perspectives in order to develop a ''left-liberal'' defense of a model of self-managed market socialism that includes a basic income for all. Specific applications of his view include analyses of its implications for the global marketplace, the changing nature of workplaces, and media restructuring and ownership. This work is sure to be of interest to social scientists, public policy makers, and economists as well as to feminists, ecologists, and others concerned with how market socialism is relevant to their social issues.

Fight for the Bay - Howard R. Ernst - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In this important new book on the declining health of one of America''s leading environmental treasures, Howard Ernst reveals a Chesapeake bay that has become functionally dead. He argues that the Chesapeake Bay succumbed to a ''light green'' environmental movement that has too often adopted a philosophy of compromise over confrontation and that has fueling a ''political dead zone'' where political leaders posture but fail to make the hard decisions needed to achieve real improvement in the Bay''s health. While blunt in his evaluation of past and present failures to restore the Bay, Ernst believes that there is still time to turn the restoration effort around and sets out new ''dark green'' strategies to do so. In the concluding chapter, five long-time bay activists provide first-person accounts of their battles and hopes for the future. Hailed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as ''a must read for anyone concerned about environmental protection,'' this challenging book provides a wake-up call for everyone concerned about the future of the Chesapeake Bay and other ecological treasures through out America.
