'What is the digital? Or rather, what was it? And how has culture changed, now that the Internet got normal? In this capacious compendium of essays, some of the world's leading scholars discuss the art and culture of the present age, a time not so much 'of' the digital but forged in reaction to it. From the New Aesthetic and Post-Internet Art to more exotic trends in contemporary theory, this timely volume explores what it means to see, feel, and think after the advent of ubiquitous digitality.' Alexander R. Galloway, New York University, USA

"Computational thought and perspectives now permeate every aspect of our lives and profoundly influence our cultural and aesthetic perceptions, leading to claims of the emergence of a new aesthetic. However, the postdigital landscape is not the techno-utopian dream of Silicon Valley, but a vibrant, messy, conflicted and confusing arena of debate and uncertainty which challenges every aspect of our cultural formation, including our own humanity. This groundbreaking collection of essays is a thought-provoking guide to a new and contested intellectual territory.' Andrew Prescott, University of Glasgow, UK

'This book critically examines the way in which the digital is both embedded in, and has dramatically transformed, our sense of the social; structurally, aesthetically and individually. It uniquely, through a wonderful collection of essays, develops a much needed critical theoretical vocabulary that permits us to (re)evaluate what a postdigital aesthetics might look like. Thoroughly recommended.' Michael Bull, University of Sussex, UK

'Taking the stories and poems of one of Kipling's most neglected and undervalued books as his point of departure, Dillingham leads the reader through many places, familiar and unfamiliar in Kipling territory, often ending up in strange and unexpected places. Above all, Dillingham sees Kipling in a fresh and persuasive way, and what he discovers is the result of a broad, deep, and sympathetic knowledge of Kipling's work, unhampered by the prejudices and clichés of the critical tradition.' - Thomas Pinney, editor of The Letters of Rudyard Kipling

'Being Kipling is not a literary critique of these stories but an exploration of their relationships to Kipling's experiences and the lessons that he learned thereby. Dillingham shows that the selections in Land and Sea Tales for Scouts and Guides are all about the personal discoveries which lead to the making of a man and, in Kipling's case, an author .Dillingham demonstrates that there is a consistent and coherent message running through the underrated Land and Sea Tales for Scouts and Guides. It is a pleasure to read and his conclusions cannot be faulted.' - David Page, Editor, Kipling Journal

'Dillingham's book is a carefully documented and thoughtful celebration of 'The Good Kipling' . . . truly original.' - David Stewart, Professor Emeritus of English, Texas A&M University

'There is freshness and clarity in Prof Dillingham's very convincing exposition.' - The Kipling Journal

&ldquo;In general, I find this book particularly instructive, by discussing various techniques and analytical tools via exercises with rigorous solutions. The computer codes for computer-based exercises are available in R or XploRe languages through the Springer link web pages and from the authors&rsquo; home pages. The web links also provide access to real datasets used in the book. This is a very useful exercise book for students and instructors as well as for nonexperts using in applied multivariate data analysis. There has been large demand for techniques to handle and analyze high-dimensional data. In this regard, the book would be a good reference for researchers and students working in the theory or applications of multivariate statistical analysis.&rdquo; (Journal of the American Statistical Association, Dec. 2009, Vol. 104, No. 488)

From the book reviews:“This is an elementary (but very interesting) basic introduction to the road from microscopic physics to macroscopic physics via statistical physics. … It begins with a review of the essential prerequisite of probability and statistics. And the main topics which are dealt with are successively kinetic theory, thermodynamics, equilibrium statistical mechanics and the theory of fluctuations. A nice book for undergraduate courses.” (Guy Jumarie, zbMATH, Vol. 1302, 2015)

Fortunately and refreshingly, the text gives Angie no weight-loss arc...A welcomingly awkward, offbeat journey for a "gay-girl gay" girl with many heartaches.&#8212;Kirkus ReviewsIn this companion to the Stonewall Award&#8211;winning Fat Angie, Angie&#8217;s girlfriend has moved away, Angie is constantly bullied as she starts as a sophomore after repeating her freshman year, her mother still can&#8217;t stand her, and her former best friend, Jamboree, is back in town...it&#8217;s still good to see Angie, a very human combination of neuroses, fears, truths, and desires, break through some of her defenses and take risks, from singing to loving.&#8212;Publishers WeeklyAlthough familiar road-trip tropes appear&#8212;the airing of grievances, past histories, new friendships, hints of romance&#8212;the story has a force and freshness, thanks to the dynamic third-person narration, a welcome change from the ubiquitous first-person voice of YA novels. There is an intensity to the story that makes no attempt to quell or disguise Angie's fury and depression, yet is full of humor. An engrossing read, uncomfortable in the best possible way.&#8212;BooklistAngie&#8217;s grief arc is credible and even laudable, especially as she focuses her anger on apt targets this time instead of herself. Readers will need to be familiar with the first book (Fat Angie, BCCB 4/13) to understand the full details of her previous year, but the multiple references allow readers to infer the basis for her emotional state and follow and applaud her progress from victim to rebel.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksA sequel to Stonewall Book Award Winner Fat Angie, e.E Charlton-Trujillo&#8217;s Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution finds Angie grappling with a new set of circumstances. Quick, compelling prose propels the often poignant narrative about one girl&#8217;s perseverance despite suffering.&#8212;Foreword Reviewse.E. Charlton-Trujillo does an amazing job portraying her entire cast of characters, making each of them seem fully realized and distinct. She handles issues of mental illness, grief, loneliness, and even the cringe-inducing abuse and bullying that Angie suffers with deftness and grace. More importantly, Charlton-Trujillo allows space for hope and strength in Angie&#8217;s story while avoiding the neat packaging of a happily ever after. As Angie realizes, &#8220;her life&#8230;was never going to be a made-for-television Christmas movie&#8230;but it was hers,&#8221; which, in the end, is all any of us can hope for.&#8212;Lambda Literary (blog)Charlton-Trujillo's approach to telling Angie's story fits perfectly with her main character's thoughts, and a lot of those thoughts are dark and angry because Angie's life is filled those things. Happily, Angie is remarkably resilient, and there's enough humor, love, and adventure to balance the pain...There are many great observations in FAT ANGIE, and many lessons about grieving, friendships, and self-love.&#8212;YA Books Central (blog)This isn&#8217;t a pretty story; it&#8217;s a gutsy genuine story that teens of all sizes and struggles will relate to.&#8212;Miss Marple's Musings (blog)

"Understanding the Humanitarian World is an informed and intelligent analysis of the complexities of humanitarian action today. Dan and Kirsten have done an excellent job in providing a resource that is equally valuable for students who aspire to humanitarian careers, whether academic or operational, as well as for experienced practitioners and policy makers who work at the sharp end of humanitarian response." - Sara Pantuliano, Overseas Development Institute, UK.
"Since Dan Maxwell and I published ‘Shaping the Humanitarian World’ the humanitarian world has gotten a whole lot closer, as the end point of unsustainable development floods cities, forces communities to migrate, renders farmland barren and replaces coexistence with conflict. Understanding these crises, and how to respond to them to reset development in a more sustainable direction, is now a vital part of mainstream politics and economics. Whether you are teaching, learning or practicing, ‘Understanding the Humanitarian World’, is the go to text to move from compassion to effective action." - Peter Walker, Falk School of Sustainability and Environment, Chatham University, USA.

"Conflict and disaster, and the wish to assist the vulnerable, have been part of human history for as long as it has been recorded. But only over the last few generations have we seen the development of dedicated mechanisms for assisting and protecting people in need. Today, a large and complex ‘global humanitarian response system’ with local, national, and international actors attempts to help tens of millions engulfed in wars and catastrophes. Understanding how this frontline of and for humanity works, succeeds, and fails is the core focus of this book.
With their impressive background as experts, academics and practitioners, Daniel Maxwell and Kirsten Gelsdorf are uniquely qualified to highlight the origins, growth, and challenges to contemporary humanitarian action. They outline the historical roots of the system, outline the main actors and explore how humanitarian work succeed and fails under the extreme circumstances where it takes place. Interrogating the reasons why humanitarian operations, as well as actions undertaken in its name, remain the subject of so much controversy, they describe how humanitarian work is undertaken today and the ways it may develop in the future.
This book is therefore a much needed introductory text on how and why the United Nations agencies, the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement and hundreds of international and national non-governmental organisations do what they do in times of crisis and conflict. It will be essential reading for students and practitioners and others with an interest in humanitarian action, international humanitarian and human rights law, disaster management and international relations."
