It has become somewhat axiomatic to refer to the police as the
gatekeepers of the criminal justice system and thus as a mechanism
for the provision of justice. And yet, when we conceptualize the
police in this way, what is often taken for granted is the exact
nature of that role and its larger social meaning. Indeed, we know
that police deliver justice more efficiently to some and injustice
to others. Rethinking Policing and Justice critically examines the
role of policing (both state and non-state forms) in the provision
of justice (and injustice). In essence, it presents work that
highlights how different communities and groups have sought
alternatives to policing, sometimes taking over the functions of
policing. It also shows a variety of theoretical, methodology, and
other approaches for the critical evaluation of law enforcement,
highlighing different insights into alternative modes of policing,
as we seek to understand and redraft the relationship between
policing and justice.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
Contemporary Justice Review.

This volume of collected essays by some of the most prominent
academics studying anarchism bridges the gap between anarchist
activism on the streets and anarchist theory in the academy.
Focusing on anarchist theory, pedagogy, methodologies, praxis, and
the future, this edition will strike a chord for anyone interested
in radical social change.
This interdisciplinary work highlights connections between
anarchism and other perspectives such as feminism, queer theory,
critical race theory, disability studies, post-modernism and
post-structuralism, animal liberation, and environmental justice.
Featuring original articles, this volume brings together a wide
variety of anarchist voices whilst stressing anarchism's tradition
of dissent. This book is a must buy for the critical teacher,
student, and activist interested in the state of the art of
anarchism studies.
Since the early 1990s, long-term care policies have undergone
significant transformations across OECD countries. In some
countries these changes have responded to the introduction of major
policy reforms while in others, significant transformations have
come about through the accumulation of incremental policy changes.
The book brings together evidence from over 15 years of care reform
to examine changes in long-term care systems occurring in OECD
countries. It discusses and compares key changes in national
policies and examines the main successes and failures of recent
reforms. Finally, it suggests possible policy strategies for the
future in the sector. With contributions from a wide range of
experts across EECD countries, this book is essential reading for
academics, researchers and policy-makers in the field of long-term
care policy.
This work gives an overview of significant research from recent
years concerning performance-based design and quality control for
concrete durability and its implementation. In engineering
practice, performance approaches are often still used in
combination with prescriptive requirements. This is largely
because, for most durability test methods, sufficient practical
experience still has to be gained before engineers and owners are
prepared to fully rely on them. This book, compiled by RILEM TC
230-PSC, is intended to assist efforts to successfully build the
foundation for the full implementation of performance-based
approaches through the exchange of relevant knowledge and
experience between researchers and practitioners worldwide.
A cherished erotic play by Federico Garcia Lorca, illustrated by a
major Spanish artist. Painting, poetry, and music come together in
Zobel Reads Lorca, as Fernando Zobel, a Harvard student who would
become one of Spain's most famous painters, translates and
illustrates Federico Garcia Lorca's haunting play about the wounds
of love. The premiere of Amor de Don Perlimplin con Belisa en su
jardin, an "erotic allelujia" which Lorca once called his most
cherished play, was shut down in 1928 by Spanish government censors
who confiscated the manuscript and locked it away in the
pornography section of a state archive. Lorca rewrote the work in
New York, and an amateur theater group brought it to the Spanish
stage a few years later. Since his death, the play has also been
transformed into ballet and opera. Zobel Reads Lorca presents
Zobel's previously unpublished translation and features contextual
essays from several scholars. Art historian Felipe Pereda studies
Lorca in the context of Zobel's development as a painter, Luis
Fernandez Cifuentes describes the precarious and much-debated state
of the humanities in Zobel's Harvard and throughout the United
States in the 1940s, and Christopher Maurer delves into musical and
visual aspects of the play's American productions.

Like its successful predecessors "10x10" (published in 2000) and
"10x10_2" (published in 2005), "10x10_3" is a comprehensive
overview of contemporary world architecture. Generously
illustrated, this volume presents 100 of the world's most
exceptional emerging architects, selected by 10 esteemed members of
the international architecture community. Arranged alphabetically
by architect, the book features more than 1,500 illustrations and
approximately 250 buildings and projects from the past five years,
including recently built work as well as competition entries. The
result will be an up-to-the-minute collection representing the best
of both global and regional architecture around the world.
Digital Health: Mobile and Wearable Devices for Participatory
Health Applications is a key reference for engineering and clinical
professionals considering the development or implementation of
mobile and wearable solutions in the healthcare domain. The book
presents a comprehensive overview of devices and appropriateness
for the respective applications. It also explores the ethical,
privacy, and cybersecurity aspects inherent in networked and mobile
technologies. It offers expert perspectives on various approaches
to the implementation and integration of these devices and
applications across all areas of healthcare. The book is designed
with a multidisciplinary audience in mind; from software developers
and biomedical engineers who are designing these devices to
clinical professionals working with patients and engineers on
device testing, human factors design, and user
engagement/compliance.
Rita McBride is a US-American artist whose installations explore
cultural and sociological issues using the language of
architecture. At first sight, the sculptures and installations are
composed of recognizable daily objects - machines, steps, tubes,
even water towers - that transport us to a standardized world,
where repetition itself establishes a code that facilitates
comprehension. However, the familiarity of form is disturbed by the
materials used - a car made of raffia, tubes out of marble or ficus
leaves modelled in Murano crystal - producing a sensation of unease
and uncertain significance. This exhibition catalog includes a
photographic essay by the artist and photographer Anne Pohlmann
capturing the way in which the museum's activity changes the
architecture of its space over the course of a year.
Continuous advances in silicon technology have enabled a new
generation of chip multiprocessors, called manycores. Current
designs of these systems comprise many simple and energy-efficient
processor cores for an unprecedented computational power and energy
efficiency. Nonetheless, this book identifies three fundamental
performance bottlenecks that prevent future manycores from scaling
to larger core counts. In particular, highly contended
synchronization in barriers and locks, along with the overhead due
to coherency activity of hardware coherence protocols. To overcome
such performance bottlenecks, three distinct and complementary
simple and power-efficient hardware-based solutions have been
proposed: GBarrier, GLock and ECONO, respectively. A comprehensive
evaluation of these new architectures utilizing a current
industrial tool flow, full-custom state-of-the-art technology,
full-system simulation, and a representative set of current
benchmarks, reveals that integrating these three hardware solutions
constitutes a step forward for both power-performance efficiency
and improved scalability in future manycore systems.
