Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A key focus in recent years has been on sustainable development and
promoting environmentally conscious practices. In today's rapidly
evolving technological world, it is important to consider how
technology can be applied to solve problems across disciplines and
fields in these areas. Further study is needed in order to
understand how technology can be applied to sustainability and the
best practices, considerations, and challenges that follow.
Futuristic Trends for Sustainable Development and Sustainable
Ecosystems discusses recent advances and innovative research in the
area of information and communication technology for sustainable
development and covers practices in several artificial intelligence
fields such as knowledge representation and reasoning, natural
language processing, machine learning, and the semantic web.
Covering topics such as blockchain, deep learning, and renewable
energy, this reference work is ideal for computer scientists,
industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars,
instructors, and students.
This book analyzes stories of university early childhood faculty
members, community activists in southern California, and children
and the early childhood teacher education students working with
them. The grounding of this research is reconceptualization of
postmodern narrative theoretical influences. Through narrative
inquiry, the book connects ongoing research to ongoing pedagogy. It
explores the following research questions: (1) How do learners
across generations create, build upon, and reinvent each other's
stories to make new meanings through consideration of family
history, multigenerational knowledge, and experiences?; (2) How do
learners' stories offer new possibilities through leadership that
connects Global South knowledge with Global North contexts?; (3) In
what ways is it possible to use this framework and methodology in
Higher Education to promote systemic consistency in promoting
social justice that is generatively inclusive? More than half of
the research participants have truly lived bi-culturally, many of
the children in the early care and education programs in the USA
are from Mexico and Central America. These collaborators truly
carry their roots with them as they strive for justice and
authenticity in early childhood teacher education and community
activists working with families and children.

The present monograph deals with lexical representation and linking
within the framework of Functional Grammar. The notion of predicate
frame as originally proposed in 1978 and subsequent refinements of
the theory are challenged in that a new format of representing
argument taking properties is formulated. This new format opens new
lines of research towards the design of a new linking algorithm in
Functional Grammar.
Compactness in topology and finite generation in algebra are nice
properties to start with. However, the study of compact spaces
leads naturally to non-compact spaces and infinitely generated
chain complexes; a classical example is the theory of covering
spaces. In handling non-compact spaces we must take into account
the infinity behaviour of such spaces. This necessitates modifying
the usual topological and algebraic cate gories to obtain "proper"
categories in which objects are equipped with a "topologized
infinity" and in which morphisms are compatible with the topology
at infinity. The origins of proper (topological) category theory go
back to 1923, when Kere kjart6 [VT] established the classification
of non-compact surfaces by adding to orien tability and genus a new
invariant, consisting of a set of "ideal points" at infinity.
Later, Freudenthal [ETR] gave a rigorous treatment of the topology
of "ideal points" by introducing the space of "ends" of a
non-compact space. In spite of its early ap pearance, proper
category theory was not recognized as a distinct area of topology
until the late 1960's with the work of Siebenmann [OFB], [IS],
[DES] on non-compact manifolds.
Attempting to connect the academic discussion around the
anthropology and philosophy of the emotions to real-life, everyday
experiences, this collection brings together concrete cases and
situations arising from specific social and political contexts
throughout the Americas. In particular, the authors explore how
emotions are generated, constructed, discovered, manipulated, and
experienced throughout the Americas by exploring undertheorized
topics ranging from investigating the emotional lives of prisoners
in Colombia and Brazil who have committed "crimes of passion," to
Colombian soldiers' experiences of core "emotional events," to the
role of emotions in immigration policy in the United States, to how
emotions affect educators' abilities to teach certain material.
Taken as a whole, this innovative, interdisciplinary, collection of
original essays is not merely comparative, but rather seeks to
bring voices and methodologies from North and South America into
conversation to generate innovative analyses and ways to reflect
about emotions in response to violence, state policies, and
educational systems.
In the memoir Beyond the Mountain Road the author shares his
compelling life story beginning with his birth in a city nestled in
the Colombian Andes and continuing with the fascinating details of
his journey through a life built on hope, faith, dreams, ambition,
and love.
With a warm, narrative style, Francisco Quintero vividly
describes the events that shaped his character and personality. He
reminisces about his childhood and recounts the difficult years he
suffered as a young student following the persecution and
destruction of his family due to political reasons. As he advances
chronologically through his life, Dr. Quintero offers insight into
his adventures in medical school, his initial encounters with
patients during his hospital training, his introduction to the love
of his life, and the creation of his family. His anecdotes-some
humorous, some tragic-include details of the family's eventual
voyage to the United States, where they live the American
dream.
Beyond the Mountain Road is the remarkable true story of a
family that was able to overcome obstacles and hardship through
courage and determination. Above all, it is a captivating love
story.
