"Intelligible and interesting to the lay reader; yet scholarly enough for the professional ethicist, On Manners is Karen Stohr’s elegant calling card. I trust that the other public intellectuals will return the visit by reading the book." –Howard Curzer, Texas Tech University
"Drawing on Austen, Kant, and Seinfeld, blending powerful and precise thought with graceful and inviting prose, Karen Stohr has written a book that is not only wise, but warmly hospitable. When you read it, you’ll learn just how very important that is." –James Nelson, Michigan State University

"[An] eruption of tomorrow's topics..." -- Andrei Yuri Lubomudrov, Willamette Week"...insightful and well formulated." -- Andrei Yuri Lubomudrov, Willamette Week"An intriguing social survey perfect for discussion groups." -- Reviewer's Bookwatch"...a supremely readable book, enlivened by weird science and slap-shot one-liners." -- Wired, Mark Dery"...Cyborg Citizen is a ripping good yarn-just the thing for Dr. Moreau's waiting room." -- Wired, Mark Dery"In Cyborg Citizen, Gray manages to bridge the understanding gap between technology and politics. He uses a wealth of historical perspective to look intot he future of a cyber-augmented culture, and show us with depth and clarity what the changes will mean to our lives as individuals and as a society. The book is readable by people with all different levels of technological sophistication, and has much new to offer no matter how much you have already thought about the issues." -- Terry Winograd"Cyborg Citizen is an accessible, comprehensive, and intelligent guide to the complexities of citizenship in the posthuman world. Sprinkled with first-person accounts, Cyborg Citizen is no dry academic treatise but an invaluable and useful guide to the ethical challenges of a future that is already upon us." -- Katherine Hayles, UCLAVolume 31"Cyborg Citizen provides an excellent introduction to the new normal and it is a worthy contribution to Chris Hables Gray ongoing project." -- Veronica Hollinger, Science Fiction Studies

Politics in the Posthuman Age

Cyborg Citizen

Antoon van den Braembussche has written a well-founded and deserving book, which is also of startling complexity and literary quality.- Prof. Michael Lingner, University of the Visual Arts, Hamburg, Germany

&nbsp;I am very impressed by the book. In a relatively limited space of 300 pages it unfolds a broad spectrum of philosophy of art, including methodological issues. The included suggestions for further reading will certainly stimulate students towards further independent research in the field.- Prof. Brigitte Scheer, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Van den Braembussche not only introduces the most important theories of modern art philosophy clearly and systematically, he continuously compares the diverse theoretical viewpoints with each another. The book presents an easily accessible picture of the current debate in art philosophy. The book is also charming because the author closes each chapter with "The Artist's Studio", where the philosophical issues discussed are considered from the perspective of an artist.- Henk Slager, Editor of Lier & Boog (Published)

Thinking Art was written as a teacher's manual for philosophy of art. But thanks to the systematic treatment and the understandable language, casual and lacking dry theory, the book is accessible to everyone.- Philosophy Magazine (Published)

Van den Braembussche provides a convincing demonstration of the productive relationship between art philosophy, the artist and art itself.- Krisis (Published)

Datenanalyse geht heute weit &uuml;ber einfache Mittelwerte, Varianzen und Signifikanztests
hinaus. Ein gro&szlig;er Teil der experimentellen Untersuchungen erfordert mittlerweile
die Verwendung von neueren Methoden der Datenanalyse oder sogar den Entwurf
einer speziellen Analysestrategie, z.B. die Interpretation von DNA-Sequenzen,
von Musterbildungsprozessen und der Dynamik von Ionenkan&auml;len. Der mathematische
Aufwand hinter diesen Methoden ist recht hoch, so dass ihr Erlernen aus
den bestehenden Lehrb&uuml;chern und Ver&ouml;ffentlichungen sich als &auml;u&szlig;erst schwierig
erweist. Diese Kluft schlie&szlig;t das vorliegende Buch. Besonders bemerkenswerte
und elegante Analysestrategien aus der Forschungsliteratur der letzten
zehn Jahre werden beispielhaft besprochen. Drei wesentlichen Techniken
der fortgeschrittenen Datenanalyse sind ausf&uuml;hrliche Einzelkapitel gewidmet:
nichtlineare Zeitreihenanalyse, Methoden der fraktalen Geometrie, Analyse
von Daten mit raumzeitlicher Dynamik.

From the reviews:"The main emphasis of the book is on applications of various models that facilitate managerial decisions to be taken … . The book can serve as a text for university students … . The algorithms and techniques are explained by providing insight and illustration … . A practitioner can use the book to identify a solution technique and the corresponding software tool to tackle a real-life problem … . A lecturer will find a relevant practical example to illustrate a mathematical algorithm she teaches." (Vitaly A. Strusevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1078, 2006)"The book is a completely new version of the book ‘Operations Scheduling with Applications in Manufacturing and Services’ by Pinedo and Chao published 1999. The text is divided into four parts and 15 chapters plus appendices and a list of references. … The book may be useful for teachers and students to be used in graduate courses … . I would buy the book to use it as course material … ." (Alf Kimms, OR News, Issue 25, 2005)"This book focuses on planning and scheduling applications in manufacturing and services, selecting the most important and representative models and methodologies from the enormous available literature in this field. … this book from Pinedo is a very well balanced and organised selection of contents in the planning and scheduling area. … The book may be very useful as an application guide for practitioners … . It seems that the book may be intended for a senior level or master level course in engineering or business schools." (Marco Garetti, Production Planning & Control, Vol. 17 (10), 2006)"Pinedo’s book is an effective combination of planning and scheduling theory with practical applications which help the reader to immediately link mathematical models to real-world problems and computer-based decision support systems. … Overall, Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing and Services is a valuable resource for students, academics and practitioners interested in planning and scheduling. … This book is a very effective combination of theory and practice presented in a simple and clear style making it very enjoyable reading." (D Silva, Journal of the Operational research Society, Vol. 59 (5), 2008)From the reviews of the second edition:“It covers scheduling problems in various areas of manufacturing and services such as for instance, project scheduling … rostering or scheduling problems in sports and health care. … Exercises to the 15 chapters present a good fundament for using the book as a teaching material. … recommend it to any reader who wants do deepen his or her understanding of scheduling problems with a focus on practical applications. … used for self-study or by practitioners. … experts in scheduling can also benefit from this book.” (T. Hanne, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61, 2010)“The second edition of this book is a slight extension of the first edition from 2005. The major change in the new edition results from the inclusion of a new chapter on health care. … there have been added three new sets of slides from academia and another movie from United Airlines. Summarizing, the broad spectrum covered by the book makes it very attractive for all people working in the scheduling area and can be highly recommended by the reviewer.” (Frank Werner, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1175, 2010)
