This book offers a highly accessible introduction to natural
language processing, the field that supports a variety of language
technologies, from predictive text and email filtering to automatic
summarization and translation. With it, you'll learn how to write
Python programs that work with large collections of unstructured
text. You'll access richly annotated datasets using a comprehensive
range of linguistic data structures, and you'll understand the main
algorithms for analyzing the content and structure of written
communication. Packed with examples and exercises, Natural Language
Processing with Python will help you: * Extract information from
unstructured text, either to guess the topic or identify "named
entities" * Analyze linguistic structure in text, including parsing
and semantic analysis * Access popular linguistic databases,
including WordNet and treebanks * Integrate techniques drawn from
fields as diverse as linguistics and artificial intelligence This
book will help you gain practical skills in natural language
processing using the Python programming language and the Natural
Language Toolkit (NLTK) open source library. If you're interested
in developing web applications, analyzing multilingual news
sources, or documenting endangered languages -- or if you're simply
curious to have a programmer's perspective on how human language
works -- you'll find Natural Language Processing with Python both
fascinating and immensely useful.
Agitation with a Smile offers a reappraisal of Howard Zinn's
political thought and situates his efforts in a contemporary
context, looking toward the nature of activism and dissent in the
future. This is the first book to provide a substantive account and
assessment of Zinn's philosophy and approach to collective action
and, to a larger extent, democracy. The contributors to this book
explore the most effective mechanisms by which to arouse public
support for seemingly radical positions and how current
technological advancements may alter our perception of Zinn's
activism. The book is a valuable guide to a new generation of
activists and scholars of politics in gauging the lasting relevance
and legacy of Zinn's ideals, concepts, and methodology. The text is
neither fawning nor unduly critical, unlike many discussions of
Zinn in popular culture. Rather, the contributors engage the
various complexities and tensions present throughout Zinn's work
and subject them to contemporary assessment. This is a
multidisciplinary and international approach to Howard Zinn's
intellectual and activist canon.

This title was first published in 2000. With the advent of the
Second World War, fascism became inextricably associated with
anti-Semitism. It is hardly surprising, therefore, to find that a
significant number of Jewish people were politically inclined
towards the left and were actively involved in socialist movements.
The essays in this volume seek to arrive at an understanding of
Jewish involvement in Labour movements outside Israel from the end
of the First World War to the final stages of World War Two. This
was a period which saw the creation of several international
socialist institutions. Gail Malmgreen looks at the American Jewish
Labor Committee and examines the interaction between trades unions
and the Jewish community. Deborah Osmond, Christine Collette and
Jason Heppell discuss the contributions made by Jews living in
Britain to Labour politics, including the Communist Party of Great
Britain and the Labour and Socialist International. The reactions
and stances of the British Labour party in relation to Zionism and
the Holocaust are the subjects of essays by Isabelle Tombs and Paul
Kelemen. David De Vries's study of the position of Jewish
white-collar workers in British-ruled Palestine provides another
perspective on the complex web of relationships between British and
Jewish identity, class, labour and politics. An invaluable
bibliography by Arieh Lebowitz of sources for the study of Jewish
interaction with the American and British Labour movements
completes this important survey.

How was Voltaire's legacy seen in France between 1830 and 1900? To
what extent did the nineteenth century reinvent Voltaire? Viewed
during these years through the distorting lens of the French
Revolution, Voltaire was vilified and venerated in roughly equal
measure: as an icon of republican anticlericalism on the one hand,
and a deeply Christian reformer on the other. This wide-ranging
study uses the rich sources of the Parisian periodical and daily
press to examine the evolution of Voltaire's legacy as it was
contested through caricature and statuary as much as through
editions and criticism of his works.
This is a collection of public speeches given by Dr. Michael
Stephen Bird over the past decade covering many topics. In these
talks, he has presented his thoughts of technology, business, human
resources, and education. He is currently an educator, author, and

The articles included in this book present the concept of
Information Technology (IT) management. There are various topics
such as managing diverse project team members, leading IT
professionals, aligning IT strategies to business strategies,
improving the value chain analysis through effective management of
technology resources, managing new technology in the education
industry, and agile software development methodologies. He also
includes the results of his dissertation study that reveals the
software project managers view of the agile software development
approach. He presents some valuable suggestions on how to improve
the success of agile software development projects.
