As technology comes to characterize our world in ever more
comprehensive ways there are increasing questions about how the
'rights' and 'wrongs' of technological use can be adequately
categorized. To date, the scope of such questions have been limited
- focused upon specific technologies such as the internet, or
bio-technology with little sense of any social or historical
continuities in the way technology in general has been regulated.
In this book, for the first time, the 'question of technology' and
its relation to criminal justice is approached as a whole.
Technology, Crime and Justice analyzes a range of technologies,
(including information, communications, nuclear, biological,
transport and weapons technologies, amongst many others) in order
to pose three interrelated questions about their affects upon
criminal justice and criminal opportunity: to what extent can they
really be said to provide new criminal opportunity or to enhance
existing ones? what are the key characteristics of the ways in
which such technologies have been regulated? how does technology
itself serve as a regulatory force - both in crime control and
social control more widely? Technology, Crime and Justice considers
the implications of contemporary technology for the practice of
criminal justice and relates them to key historical precedents in
the way technology has been interpreted and controlled. It outlines
a new 'social' way of thinking about technology - in terms of its
affects upon our bodies and what they can do, most obviously the
ways in which social life and our ability to causally interact with
the world is 'extended' in various ways. It poses the question -
could anything like a 'Technomia' of technology be identified - a
recognizable set of principles and sanctions which govern the way
that it is produced and used, principles also consistent with our
sense of justice? This book provides a key resource for students
and scholars of both criminology and technology studies.

Hypercrime develops a new theoretical approach toward current
reformulations in criminal behaviours, in particular the phenomenon
of cybercrime. Emphasizing a spatialized conception of deviance,
one that clarifies the continuities between crime in the
traditional, physical context and developing spaces of interaction
such as a 'cyberspace', this book analyzes criminal behaviours in
terms of the destructions, degradations or incursions to a
hierarchy of regions that define our social world. Each chapter
outlines violations to the boundaries of each of these spaces -
from those defined by our bodies or our property, to the more
subtle borders of the local and global spaces we inhabit. By
treating cybercrime as but one instance of various possible
criminal virtualities, the book develops a general theoretical
framework, as equally applicable to the, as yet unrealized,
technologies of criminal behaviour of the next century, as it is to
those which relate to contemporary computer networks. Cybercrime is
thereby conceptualized as one of a variety of geometries of harm,
merely the latest of many that have extended opportunities for
illicit gain in the physical world. Hypercrime offers a radical
critique of the narrow conceptions of cybercrime offered by current
justice systems and challenges the governing presumptions about the
nature of the threat posed by it. Runner-up for the British Society
of Criminology Book Prize (2008).

This book is based on notes for the course Fractals: lntroduction,
Basics and Perspectives given by MichaelF. Barnsley, RobertL.
Devaney, Heinz-Otto Peit gen, Dietmar Saupe and Richard F. Voss.
The course was chaired by Heinz-Otto Peitgen and was part of the
SIGGRAPH '87 (Anaheim, California) course pro gram. Though the five
chapters of this book have emerged from those courses we have tried
to make this book a coherent and uniformly styled presentation as
much as possible. It is the first book which discusses fractals
solely from the point of view of computer graphics. Though
fundamental concepts and algo rithms are not introduced and
discussed in mathematical rigor we have made a serious attempt to
justify and motivate wherever it appeared to be desirable. Ba sic
algorithms are typically presented in pseudo-code or a description
so close to code that a reader who is familiar with elementary
computer graphics should find no problem to get started.
Mandelbrot's fractal geometry provides both a description and a
mathemat ical model for many of the seemingly complex forms and
patterns in nature and the sciences. Fractals have blossomed
enormously in the past few years and have helped reconnect pure
mathematics research with both natural sciences and computing.
Computer graphics has played an essential role both in its de
velopment and rapidly growing popularity. Conversely, fractal
geometry now plays an important role in the rendering, modelling
and animation of natural phenomena and fantastic shapes in computer
graphics."

Prebiotics and Probiotics in Human Milk: Origins and Functions of
Milk-Borne Oligosaccharides and Bacteria provides a comprehensive,
yet approachable, treatise on what is currently known about the
origins and functions of human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), the
complex sugars in milk that are not digested by the infant. The
book examines how HMOs and bacteria in human milk may function
independently and coordinately to influence both maternal and
infant health. Human milk is the only food "designed" specifically
to nourish humans, indeed representing the essence of a perfect
"functional food." And although researchers have been studying its
composition for decades, surprisingly little is really understood
about the origins and functions of its myriad components, an area
that is especially true for HMOs and bacteria. This book provides a
thorough review of the newest research on these inter-related milk
constituents as written by a team of experts from both academia and
industry who actively conduct HMO and human milk microbiome
research as they endeavor to apply this new knowledge to infant
nutrition. Each chapter provides objective rationale for what
research is still needed in this rapidly evolving area, also
discussing the challenges and opportunities faced by the industry
in adding HMO and microbes to infant food products. This book is a
valuable resource for nutrition researchers focused on infant
nutrition, food scientists and product developers working on infant
formula, and clinicians interested in broadening their
understanding of the benefits of human milk for infants.
