Today, scientific literacy is an essential aspect of any
undergraduate education. Recipes for Science responds to this need
by providing an accessible introduction to the nature of science
and scientific methods, reasoning, and concepts that is appropriate
for any beginning college student. It is designed to be adaptable
to a wide variety of different kinds of courses, such as
introductions to scientific reasoning or critical thinking,
philosophy of science, and science education. In any of these
different uses, the book helps students better navigate our
scientific, 21st-century world. Key Features • Contemporary and
historical examples of science from many fields of physical, life,
and social sciences. • Visual aids to clarify and illustrate
ideas. • Text boxes to explore related topics. • Plenty of
exercises to ensure full student engagement and mastery of the
information. • Annotated 'Further Reading' sections at the end of
each chapter. • Final glossary with helpful definitions of key
terms. • A companion website with author-developed and
crowdsourced materials, including syllabi for courses using this
textbook, bibliography of additional resources and online
materials, sharable PowerPoint presentations and lecture notes, and
additional exercises and extended projects. Key Updates to the
Second Edition + Now structured around 14 chapters of uniform
length making it more easily suited for the weeks in a typical
college semester + Updated case studies and examples, including
several related to Covid-19 + Increased emphasis on: – the
variety of scientific methods – values in science – the
relationship between science and society + Added discussion of big
data, machine learning, and related technology-driven advances +
Exercises now sorted into types: (1) Reading Check, (2) Apply What
You’ve Learned, and (3) Reflect on Ideas + Annotated solutions
now provided for half of the exercises, made available on an
instructor-only section of the website
Computational approaches dominate contemporary cognitive science,
promising a unified, scientific explanation of how the mind works.
However, computational approaches raise major philosophical and
scientific questions. In what sense is the mind computational? How
do computational approaches explain perception, learning, and
decision making? What kinds of challenges should computational
approaches overcome to advance our understanding of mind, brain,
and behaviour? The Routledge Handbook of the Computational Mind is
an outstanding overview and exploration of these issues and the
first philosophical collection of its kind. Comprising thirty-five
chapters by an international team of contributors from different
disciplines, the Handbook is organised into four parts: History and
future prospects of computational approaches Types of computational
approach Foundations and challenges of computational approaches
Applications to specific parts of psychology. Essential reading for
students and researchers in philosophy of mind, philosophy of
psychology, and philosophy of science, The Routledge Handbook of
the Computational Mind will also be of interest to those studying
computational models in related subjects such as psychology,
neuroscience, and computer science.

This book explores how ordinary Arab-speaking social media users
have reacted to propaganda from the Islamic State, rather than how
IS propaganda has targeted ordinary users, thus providing a change
in perspective in the literature. The authors provide a
comprehensive account of the evolution of the Arabic discourse on
IS, encompassing all phases of the Caliphate's political evolution,
from the apogee of the Islamic State in October 2014 to the loss of
its unofficial capital of Raqqa in September 2017. Taking into
account key events, the book also considers the most recurrent
topics for IS and its opponents who engage in the Twitter
conversation. The analysis is based on around 29 million tweets
written in the Arabic language, representing a random sample of
around one-third of all Arabic tweets referring to IS over the
2014-2017 timeframe.
