Recent advances in array-based detectors and imaging technologies
have provided high throughput systems that can operate within a
substantially reduced timeframe and other techniques that can
detect multiple contaminants at one time. These technologies are
revolutionary in terms of food safety assessment in manufacturing,
and will also have a significant impact on areas such as public
health and food defence. This book summarizes the latest research
and applications of sensor technologies for online and high
throughput screening of food. The book first introduces high
throughput screening strategies and technology platforms, and
discusses key issues in sample collection and preparation. The
subsequent chapters are then grouped into four sections: Part I
reviews biorecognition techniques; Part II covers the use of
optical biosensors and hyperspectral imaging in food safety
assessment; Part III focuses on electrochemical and mass-based
transducers; and finally Part IV deals with the application of
these safety assessment technologies in specific food products,
including meat and poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables.

candidates. Imagine a Place: Stories From Middle Grades Educators,
a new anthology of teacherwritten narratives, focuses on educators'
stories that have the power to offer hope, ignite creativity, and
provide practical ideas for middle grades teachers. Imagine a Place
is filled with stories of joy, stories of relationships, and
stories of finding the treasure in challenging situations that
provide powerful insight into the world of teaching young
adolescent learners. Along with teacher narratives, the editors of
this book provide questions and exercises for thoughtful
reflections on the themes and issues raised in each story as well
as guidance for the reader to write his or her own account of their
middle grades teaching experiences. We invite you to join these

with young adolescents in the place we call school.
The author aims to develop conceptual refining and theoretical
reframing of the productivist welfare capitalism thesis in order to
address a set of questions concerning whether and how productivist
welfarism has experienced both continuity and change in East Asia.
As a twentieth century phenomenon, mass dictatorship developed its
own modern socio-political engineering system which sought to
achieve the self-mobilization of the masses for radical state
projects. In this sense, it shares a similar mobilization mechanism
with its close cousin, mass democracy. Mass dictatorship requires
the modern platform of the public sphere to spread its clarion call
for the masses to realize their lofty utopian visions. Far from
being a phenomenon that emerged from pre-modern despotic practices,
mass dictatorship reflects the global proliferation of
quintessential modernist assumptions about the transformability of
the individual and society through collective effort. Mass
dictatorship therefore utilizes the utmost modern practices to form
totalitarian cohesion and to stage public spectacles in the search
for extremist solutions to a society's problems. The contributors
examine the phenomenon of mass dictatorship along many different
lines of inquiry, both theoretical as well as empirical in
disparate locations around the globe including Fascist Italy, Nazi
Germany, Interwar Austria, Imperial Japan, Colonial Korea, Colonial
Taiwan, Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, and North Korea.
This edited collection of essays brings together scholars across
disciplines who consider the collaborative work of John Matthews
Manly and Edith Rickert, philologists, medievalists and early
modernists, cryptologists, and education reformers. These pioneers
crafted interdisciplinary partnerships as they modeled and
advocated for cooperative alliances at every level of their work
and in all their academic relationships. Their extensive network of
intellectual partnerships made possible groundbreaking projects,
from the eight-volume Text of the Canterbury Tales (1940) to the
deciphering of the Waberski Cipher, yet, except for their Chaucer
work, their many other accomplishments have received little
attention. Collaborative Humanities Research and Pedagogy not only
surveys the rich range of their work but also emphasizes the
transformative intellectual and pedagogical benefits of
collaboration.
Teaching and Learning from Within brings together theory, research,
and practice on core reflection, an approach that focuses on
people's strengths as the springboard for personal growth and
serves every human being involved in education-including students,
teachers, school principals, and university faculty. This approach
supports the essential role of authenticity in the development of
the whole person. It has been used in contexts around the world and
has shown great promise in helping to re-chart the course for
education and to re-think its purpose in global and democratic
societies. The book looks at the current educational context and
the need for core reflection; introduces the theory and its
linkages to previous studies in numerous disciplines; presents
various applications in multinational research and practice-with
teachers, with students and schools, and with teacher educators;
and highlights ongoing work in around the world along with future
plans, opportunities, and resources for professional development
and research. .
This Language, A River is an introduction to the history of English
that recognizes multiple varieties of the language in both current
and historical contexts. Developed over years of undergraduate
teaching, the book helps students to both grasp traditional
histories of English, and also to extend and complicate those
histories. Exercises throughout provide opportunities for puzzling
out concepts, committing terms and data to memory, and applying
ideas. A comprehensive glossary and up-to-date bibliographies help
to guide further study.
2022 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD WINNER 2022 NATIONAL ANTIRACIST BOOK
FESTIVAL SELECTION 2021 PORCHLIGHT PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT & HUMAN
BEHAVIOR BOOK OF THE YEAR As we become more aware of various social
injustices in the world, many of us want to be part of the movement
toward positive change. But sometimes our best intentions cause
unintended harm, and we fumble. We might feel afraid to say the
wrong thing and feel guilt for not doing or knowing enough.
Sometimes we might engage in performative allyship rather than
thoughtful solidarity, leaving those already marginalized further
burdened and exhausted. The feelings of fear, insecurity,
inadequacy are all too common among a wide spectrum of
changemakers, and they put many at a crossroads between feeling
stuck and giving up, or staying grounded to keep going. So how can
we go beyond performative allyship to creating real change in
ourselves and in the world, together? In The Wake Up, Michelle
MiJung Kim shares foundational principles often missing in today's
mainstream conversations around "diversity and inclusion," inviting
readers to deep dive into the challenging and nuanced work of
pursuing equity and justice, while exploring various complexities,
contradictions, and conflicts inherent in our imperfect world. With
a mix of in-the-trenches narrative and accessible unpacking of hot
button issues-from inclusive language to representation to "cancel
culture"-Michelle offers sustainable frameworks that guide us how
to think, approach, and be in the journey as thoughtfully and
powerfully as possible. The Wake Up is divided into four key parts:
* Grounding: begin by moving beyond good intentions to
interrogating our deeper "why" for committing to social justice and
uncovering our "hidden stories." * Orienting: establish a shared
understanding around our historical and current context and issues
we are trying to solve, starting with dismantling white supremacy.
* Showing Up: learn critical principles to approach any situation
with clarity and build our capacity to work through complexity,
nuance, conflict, and imperfections. * Moving Together: remember
the core of this work is about human lives, and commit to
prioritizing humanity, healing, and community. The Wake Up is an
urgent call for us to move together while seeing each other's full
and expansive humanity that is at the core of our movement toward
justice, healing, and freedom.
Mass Dictatorship and Modernity is the second volume in the 'Mass
Dictatorship' series. A transnational, academic research venture,
it interrogates mass dictatorship in a broad historical context,
focusing on the emergence of modernity through interactions of
center and periphery, empire and colony, and democracy and
dictatorship on a global scale.

"I have read dozens of books on starting companies, but this is the
first that accurately captures why startups fail and provides a
tool for entrepreneurs and investors to measure and manage these
sources of failure." Michael Hatfield, Co-Founder, Cerent, Calix,
Cienna, and Carium. What makes a startup successful? This book,
from award-winning business school professors and a tech serial
entrepreneur, tells what makes startups successful. Instead of
telling startups what to do, like most startup books, they share
what startups should avoid. Along the way, they share small
business startup success stories gleaned from the How Built This
Podcast and their firsthand experiences. These stories of startup
success are contrasted with stories of startup failure from startup
graveyards and most notably, the Titanic. Like many of today's
startups, the Titanic hoped to disrupt the transportation industry
of its time. It fell short, to a disastrous outcome, from the same
sources that prevent startup success today. Get a startup game
plan! This startup book uses the Titanic and a sailing metaphor to
provide a startup roadmap template. It shows what makes startups
successfully navigate through challenges in startup investing,
founding, and hiring with a game plan to get through the Human
Ocean. It offers a startup guide to customer success in working
through the Marketing Ocean. It even highlights what startups need
to invest in to get through the Technical and Strategy Oceans. Its
Iceberg Index gives entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses a
way to track their progress on the startup roadmap template. It
also helps investors assess what startups to invest in. Many
entrepreneurs assume that the Titanic was sunk by a single iceberg.
The Titanic Effect shows, that like many startups, it's not a
single misstep but a series of mistakes that keep a startup from
being successful. This combination of missteps is called the
Titanic Effect. Who can benefit from this startup roadmap?
Entrepreneurs in the early stages of building a startup. They will
learn what makes a startup successful. They will develop a to-do
list of decisions to make and actions to take. Small business
owners will also identify key next steps to building their startup
game plan. Investors can identify what to avoid in startup
investments and what startups to invest in. Students will learn how
to evaluate the success potential of a startup and will read small
business and startup success stories. These three co-authors have
witnessed firsthand what leads to startup success. They have made
it their mission to help entrepreneurs, startup founders and
startup investors succeed. Drs. Todd and M. Kim Saxton bring more
than two decades of academic and professional experience in
business strategy, entrepreneurship, marketing, and angel
investing. Serial tech entrepreneur, Michael Cloran, adds his two
decades' of experiences in launching his own startups as well as
building software products for other startups. In addition, the
co-authors serve on various boards of entrepreneurial ventures and
startup advisory associations. They have shared their expertise
from the stage to dozens of audiences, including students,
entrepreneurship and professional development associations,
academic societies, and global companies like Roche Diagnostics and
Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.

The book of Genesis is foundational to the whole Bible, and to
every human life. Genesis tells us who God is, who we are, how
things went wrong, and the plan that God has put in place to return
the earth to the way it was meant to be.
This guide helps us see how the storyline of Genesis foreshadows
and connects to the good news about Jesus, and offers penetrating
exegetical insights for those of us seeking to better understand
God's plan to bring blessing to all nations.

The Choson state (1392-1910) is typically portrayed as a rigid
society because of its hereditary status system, slavery, and
Confucian gender norms. However, The Emotions of Justice reveals a
surprisingly complex picture of a judicial system that operated in
a contradictory fashion by discriminating against subjects while
simultaneously minimizing such discrimination. Jisoo Kim contends
that the state's recognition of won, or the sense of being wronged,
permitted subjects of different genders or statuses to interact in
the legal realm and in doing so illuminates the intersection of
law, emotions, and gender in premodern Korea.
