Originally published in the UK in 1961 this was an unconventional
book when first published but a powerful interpretation of Greek
individualism. The author examines the influence of the Greeks on
European philosophy, religion, literature, art and architecture and
challenges many commonly held assumptions: ‘Those items in the
Greek legacy which are most easily recognizable as such are in fact
the least important.’

This book discusses the use of authorship discourses and author
figures in the promotion and marketing of media content, dealing
with the U.S. mainstream media, including franchise film, network
television, and triple-A video games. The research takes a unique
approach studying ideas of authorship in promotion, diverging from
extant approaches looking at the text, production, or reception.
Conceptualizing authorship within the logic of media branding, the
book studies the construction of ideas around creativity and the
creative person in marketing and publicity content where media
industries communicate with audiences. A cross-media approach
allows the book to take a broad look and make comparisons across
the increasingly integrated media industries. The book will be of
great relevance to academics in the fields of film, television, and
media studies, including postgraduate students, conducting teaching
and research around authorship, media industries, and media
promotion.
This book explores the thought of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most
influential sociologists of the twentieth century, proposing a
modification and extension of his concept of habitus. Building on
Bourdieu's notion of the translational reproduction of social
structure - the idea that while social classes move in the same
direction, dominant groups are able to preserve their relative
power position, thus maintaining the structure of the gap - the
author proposes that as social structures change, habitus change
correspondingly, and thus become plural. Informed by Norbert Elias'
process sociology, this volume offers examples of habitus
pluralisation, arguing that this modification of Bourdieu's thought
renders it more suitable for the study of social changes and
represents the development of a path that Bourdieu himself had
begun to explore in the later stages of his career. As such it will
appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in
historical sociology, process sociology, social structures and the
thought of Bourdieu.
The therapeutic relationship has been recognized by psychotherapy
researchers and clinicians alike as playing a central role in the
process and outcome of psychotherapy. This book presents innovative
investigations of the therapeutic relationship focusing on various
relationship mechanisms as they relate to changing processes and
outcomes. A variety of perspectives on the therapeutic relationship
are provided through different research methods, including
quantitative and qualitative methods, and divergence in
psychotherapy orientations, including psychodynamic, interpersonal,
cognitive-behavioural therapy, emotion-focused process experiential
therapy, narrative therapy, and attachment-based family therapy.
The chapters, written by leading psychotherapy researchers, present
cutting-edge empirical studies that apply innovative methods in
order to: study process-outcome links; explore in session processes
that address the question of how the therapeutic relationship
heals; examine the contributions of clients and therapists to the
therapeutic relationship; and suggest practical implications for
training therapists in psychotherapy relationships that work.
Research on the therapeutic relationship has been identified as a
natural arena for bridging the gap between research and clinical
practice, and will be of particular interest to practicing
clinicians. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Psychotherapy Research.
Beyond Archigram is the first study of the prehistory of digital
representation to focus on the magazine Archigram, the magazine
published in London irregularly between 1961 and 1970 and the name
of the group that created it. Archigram is among the most
significant phenomena to emerge in post-war architectural culture.
The wired environments first advertised on its pages formulated an
architectural vocabulary of metamorphosis and obsolescence that
cross-pollinated industrial and digital technology at the same time
as complex systems were becoming commercially available. Through
archival, theoretical and visual analysis, Hadas Steiner explores
the process through which this model was envisaged and disseminated
within an international network of practitioners and shows how the
assimilation of Archigram imagery set the course for the visual
output of what are now commonplace tools in architectural practice.
This book will provide a foundation for further inquiry into the
integration of digital technology at every level of design.

A unique approach to "Intro CS." In a nutshell, the authors of this
book's objective is to provide an introduction to computer science
as an intellectually rich and vibrant field rather than focusing
exclusively on computer programming. While programming is certainly
an important and pervasive element of their approach, they
emphasize concepts and problem-solving over syntax and programming
language features. This book is a companion to the course "CS for
All" developed at Harvey Mudd College and subsequently adopted at a
variety of colleges and universities. At Mudd, this course is taken
by almost every first-year student - irrespective of the student's
ultimate major - as part of the college's core curriculum. The
offering is also taken by many students at the Claremont Colleges,
including students majoring in the humanities, social sciences, and
the arts. Thus, it serves as a first computing course for students
regardless of their major. This book is intended to be used with
the substantial resources that we have developed for the course.
These resources include complete lecture slides, a rich collection
of weekly assignments, some accompanying software, documentation,
and papers that have been published about the course. The authors
have deliberately kept this book relatively short and have
endeavored to make it fun and readable. The content of this book is
an accurate reflection of the content of the course rather than an
intimidating encyclopedic tome that can't possibly be covered in a
single semester. The book has been written in the belief that a
student can read all of it comfortably as the course proceeds.

“Cloud-to-ground” is the scientific term for lightning that
strikes directly into the ground. The title of this book, published
in conjunction with the Israeli pavilion at the 18th International
Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, is derived from
this. It investigates the shifts in political power structure that
result from the wide-spread use of cloud technology: the storage,
processing and analysis of inconceivable amounts of data in
computer “clouds”. The focus is on major infrastructure
projects currently underway in Israel and the Middle East region.
These include Nimbus, a major cloud project pursued by the Israeli
government for which Google and Amazon are building new powerful
data centres, or the Blue Raman fibre-optic cable across the Negev
Desert, also laid by Google, which will bypass Egypt on its way
from India to Europe and at the same time revive the ancient trade
routes that passed through this country. Cloud-to-ground also
documents the decommissioning and demolition of countless telephone
exchanges in Israel’s cities that have become obsolete. It thus
brings to attention the physical nature of these largely ignored
“black box” structures and connects them to the history of the
Middle East and recent developments in global communication
technology. Essays by prominent Israeli scholars are complemented
by numerous photographs, sketches, and archival documents, as well
as a newly compiled index of 140 telephone exchanges in Israel.
This book is a collection of original papers produced by the
members of the Euro Working Group on Transportation (EWGT) in the
last several years (2015-2017). The respective chapters present the
results of various research projects carried out by the members of
the EWGT and extended versions of presentations given at the last
several meetings of the EWGT. The book offers a representative
sampling of the EWGT's research activities and covers the
state-of-the-art in quantitative oriented transportation/logistics
research. It highlights a range of advanced concepts, methodologies
and technologies, divided into four major thematic streams:
Multiple Criteria Analysis in Transportation and Logistics; Urban
Transportation and City Logistics; Road Safety and Artificial
Intelligence and Soft Computing in Transportation and Logistics.
The book is intended for academics/researchers, analysts, business
consultants, and graduate students who are interested in advanced
techniques of mathematical modeling and computational procedures
applied in transportation and logistics.

Fault Covering Problems in Reconfigurable VLSI Systems describes
the authors' recent research on reconfiguration problems for
fault-tolerance in VLSI and WSI Systems. The book examines
solutions to a number of reconfiguration problems. Efficient
algorithms are given for tractable covering problems and general
techniques are given for dealing with a large number of intractable
covering problems. The book begins with an investigation of
algorithms for the reconfiguration of large redundant memories.
Next, a number of more general covering problems are considered and
the complexity of these problems is analyzed. Finally, a general
and uniform approach is proposed for solving a wide class of
covering problems. The results and techniques described here will
be useful to researchers and students working in this area. As
such, the book serves as an excellent reference and may be used as
the text for an advanced course on the topic.
The papers collected in this book were given and discussed at the
symposium on "Soil water physics and technology," which was held in
Rehovot, Israel, from August 19th-September 4th, 1971. It was
sponsored by the International Society of Soil Science (1.S.S.S.)
through its Commissions I (soil physics) and VI (soil technology),
and organized by the Israeli Soil Science Society. Thanks are due
to the Editors for having assembled contributions and discussion
remarks into a well-rounded, coherent book. The subjects covered in
this book are the theoretical and practical aspects of the
following topics: water movement in soils, soil-water interactions,
evaporation from soil and plants, water requirements of crops, ion
activity and migration in soils, soilwater management and salinity.
In as much as these contributions were not solicited, they
represent ideas and subjects considered important by the authors
and debators. In science, one often finds a gap between basic
research and practical application. If reading this book creates a
feeling of an apparent lack of balance between theory and practice,
this represents the state of our science today, and the thoughtful
reader can and will recognize that much remains to be done. W. R.
