Man-Child (Hardcover): Michael Jenkins Man-Child (Hardcover)
Michael Jenkins
R745 Discovery Miles 7 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In this collection of 21 essays, Michael Jenkins takes a humorously philosophical approach to the everyday aspects of life. Whether comparing himself to Rocky Balboa in order to pass an English class or asking a one-thumbed woman how she cuts her steak, "Man-Child" tells of the experiences and philosophies of an immature man reluctantly searching for an identity in the adult world. These experiences could be used as a lesson on what not to do in any given situation, but only if you don't want a story to tell.

Levels of Perception (Hardcover, 2003): Laurence Harris, Michael Jenkin Levels of Perception (Hardcover, 2003)
Laurence Harris, Michael Jenkin
R4,427 Discovery Miles 44 270 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this book the authors relate and discuss the idea that perceptual processes can be considered at many levels. A phenomenon that appears at one level may not be the same as a superficially similar phenomenon that appears at a different level. For example "induced motion" can be analyzed in terms of eye movements or at the retinal level or at a much higher cognitive level: how do these analyses fit together? The concept of levels also makes us think of the flow of information between levels, which leads to a consideration of the roles of top-down and bottom-up (or feed-forward, feed-back) flow. There are sections devoted to vestibular processing, eye movement processing and processing during brightness perception. The final section covers levels of processing in spatial vision. All scientists and graduate students working in vision will be interested in this book as well as people involved in using visual processes in computer animations, display design or the sensory systems of machines.

Arrays, Functional Languages, and Parallel Systems (Hardcover, 1991 ed.): Lenore M.Restifo Mullin Arrays, Functional Languages, and Parallel Systems (Hardcover, 1991 ed.)
Lenore M.Restifo Mullin; Contributions by Michael Jenkins, Gaetan Hains, Robert Bernecky, Guang R. Gao
R4,540 Discovery Miles 45 400 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

During a meeting in Toronto last winter, Mike Jenkins, Bob Bernecky and I were discussing how the two existing theories on arrays influenced or were in fluenced by programming languages and systems. More's Army Theory was the basis for NIAL and APL2 and Mullin's A Mathematics of A rmys(MOA), is being used as an algebra of arrays in functional and A-calculus based pro gramming languages. MOA was influenced by Iverson's initial and extended algebra, the foundations for APL and J respectively. We discussed that there is a lot of interest in the Computer Science and Engineering communities concerning formal methods for languages that could support massively parallel operations in scientific computing, a back to-roots interest for both Mike and myself. Languages for this domain can no longer be informally developed since it is necessary to map languages easily to many multiprocessor architectures. Software systems intended for parallel computation require a formal basis so that modifications can be done with relative ease while ensuring integrity in design. List based lan guages are profiting from theoretical foundations such as the Bird-Meertens formalism. Their theory has been successfully used to describe list based parallel algorithms across many classes of architectures."

Vision and Attention (Hardcover, 2001 ed.): Michael Jenkin, Laurence Harris Vision and Attention (Hardcover, 2001 ed.)
Michael Jenkin, Laurence Harris
R4,396 Discovery Miles 43 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This is at once a review and a summary of the tremendous advances that have been made in recent years on the effect of attention on visual perception. This broad-ranging volume will appeal to vision scientists as well as to those involved in using visual processes in computer animations, display design or the sensory systems of machines. Physiologists and neuroscientists interested in any aspect of sensory or motor processes will also find it very useful.

Prisons After Woolf - Reform through Riot (Paperback): Elaine Player, Michael Jenkins Prisons After Woolf - Reform through Riot (Paperback)
Elaine Player, Michael Jenkins
R1,624 Discovery Miles 16 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

For the past few years prisons have attracted much media attention, due to substantial increases in the prison population and the deteriorating conditions in which prisoners are held. In addition, there has been industrial action by prison officers and a series of disturbances and riots by prisoners. Following the riot at Strangeways prison in Manchester in 1990 Lord Justice Woolf was called to conduct an inquiry into the riots and their causes. Prisons After Woolf serves as a basic source of information on prison issues and reviews them in the light of the Woolf proposals. In so doing, its contributors, drawn from all areas of the legal and prison system, present an important broad perspective on the major questions in penology today.

A House in Flanders (Paperback, Main): Michael Jenkins A House in Flanders (Paperback, Main)
Michael Jenkins
R347 Discovery Miles 3 470 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In 1951 Michael Jenkins, then 14 years old, spent the summer with 'the aunts in Flanders'. His 'aunts' were a group of elderly women whose connection to his family had never been explained but they immediately embraced him and he quickly became entwined in the lives of an extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins. The warmth of their life awakes Michael to the complicated world of relationships as he falls in love for the first time. Michael Jenkins's vivid memoir of a summer that changed his life has become a much-loved classic, with its evocative portraits of his aunts, the raw memories of two world wars that still scar the Flanders plain and Michael's unraveling of the secret at the heart of this family.

Vision and Action (Hardcover): Laurence R. Harris, Michael Jenkin Vision and Action (Hardcover)
Laurence R. Harris, Michael Jenkin
R3,597 Discovery Miles 35 970 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The visual processes involved in moving, reaching, grasping, and playing sports are complex interactions. For example, the action of moving the head provides useful cues to help interpret the visual information. Simultaneously, vision can provide important information about the actions and their control. This becomes a reiterative process. This process, and the interactions between vision and action, are the foci of this volume. This book contains contributions from scientists who are leaders in each of the several facets of the subject. The editors consider simple types of action, such as moving the eyes and head and body, as one would do while looking around or walking, as well as complex actions such as driving a car, catching a ball, or playing ping-pong.

Expert Humans - Critical Leadership Skills for a Disrupted World (Paperback): Michael Jenkins Expert Humans - Critical Leadership Skills for a Disrupted World (Paperback)
Michael Jenkins
R723 Discovery Miles 7 230 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Expert Humans: Critical Leadership Skills for a Disrupted World examines the critical leadership concepts of Altruism, Compassion and Empathy (ACE) and their application to the great disruptors of today: sustainability, global health, inequality, digital transformation and erosion of trust - from social, historical and psychological perspectives - to support the development of more human workplaces and a better world. The book investigates these ACE behaviours and attributes in depth to show how they can strengthen existing leadership capability. With more ACE leaders in the field the challenges of our disrupted world can be better addressed, and by so doing, create more human workplaces and a more humane society for now and for the future. Drawing on data from the social sciences, close human observation, stories of working people and mini-case studies from around the world - Expert Humans encourages the reader to adopt a more human - and effective - way of living, working and being. This book is intended as a gentle provocation to leaders of small, medium and large organisations, as well as to human resources and organisational development professionals - to help change the nature of what it takes to be a leader, for good.
