Deep In-memory Architectures for Machine Learning

'This is the book that many people were waiting for. Entering the 21st century, it is vital to read this original and well documented book which historically analyzes the evolution of modern museums while insisting on a sharp analysis of our contemporary museums' excesses. This book should help future students as well as museum directors to understand the high stakes of the new cultural game in the renewed debate around the working of our democracies.' Serge Guilbaut, University of British Columbia, Canada.

'A visually appealing and elegant volume, with the addition of thirty-two half-page black pencil drawings which help show the significance of architecture in this history of museums of contemporary art, The Museums of Contemporary Art is clearly the product of a great deal of careful research. ... To conclude, Lorente’s work successfully illuminates an area in the history of museums of contemporary art. With the addition of a 16-page multilingual bibliography as one of its many strengths, this volume is an appropriate current reference towards understanding the high stakes of the cultural game in a renewed debate of the role and purposes of museums of art.'

’Drawing inspiration from the rich critical heritage on the thematics of the marriage plot and a wealth of diverse interdisciplinary studies in Victorian literature and science, Sparks offers a rich and compelling investigation into the development of the medical profession and its relevant cultural implications.’  Rivista di Studi Vittoriani  'This is a closely-argued and [...] clearly written investigation, directed at an audience familiar with recent Victorian fiction criticism, which deserves close reading and (as good critical discussion of text will) drives the reader back to the novels chosen for analysis.'  Gaskell Journal  'Literary scholars are likely to be satisfied by Sparks' diverse selection of texts, which combines familiar with forgotten fiction, and the well-organised critical readings, which balance clarity and subtlety.'  Social History of Medicine  '[Sparks's] book tackles the figure of the doctor from a literary point of view, and her analysis of the impact of the doctor-character on the marriage-plot offers an original insight into Victorian realism. ... the range of canonical, popular or less known novels and short stories Sparks examines, makes it an interesting study of the figure of the "doctor" and its evolution.'  Miranda  'While in some respects the doctor appeared to be the very essence of self-made, middle-class masculine benevolence and rationality, Sparks finds that through the marriage plot writers of fiction reveal a very flawed character and it is the evident ''tension between medical and romantic epistemologies'' that the book addresses. To explore this tension Sparks interrogates the correlation between the doctor's success in the domestic sphere and the trajectory of his public career. The results of this analysis are intriguing.'  English Studies  'Demonstrating an unusually wide reading, especially of popular literature, Sparks discusses no fewer than forty-four doctor characters throughout the course of the book. This fe

'This is an exciting and important collection of writings from experts and practitioners working in the field of art, performance and technology. Its authors interrogate conceptual elements from art and performance practitioners that utilize a broad range of diverse technologies within their artistic practices and in so doing integrate and articulate new interfaces of performance. The collection represents a timely and distinctive contribution to the field of performance and technology.' Susan Broadhurst, Brunel University, UK  'Sliding in and out of theatrical spaces, and merging the work of scholars and artists, Interfaces of Performance expands the boundaries of technological performance scholarship. The essays in this volume represent a cross-section of practitioners, scholars, and curators exploring necessary themes in the development of media and performance.  Interfaces of Performance is a valuable contribution to the field of new media and performance, expanding the boundaries of scholarship and practice to include a wide range of international practice and theory.  A dynamically structured and user-friendly volume, it will be a welcome addition to reading lists for media and performance'. Jennifer Parker-Starbuck, Roehampton University, UK  ’Interfaces of Performance is an unpredictable journey where one is left with assurance, rather than concern, that we are in a healthy state of flux. From here we have the possibility to see the performance and technology interface as one that is progressive and its convergence with an ever-broadening set of disciplines offers the opportunity for the most-significant artistic revolution since the 1960s. This is what happens when you let artists speak for themselves: you get an unruly, often disconcerting, enlightening, stylistically unpredictable result and, just like this book, I highly recommend it.’ International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media  ’Interfaces of Performance is a rich collection, full

Andrew Clark evinces a profound understanding of Diderot's thought in its intellectual context, and his scholarship is impeccable.

Prize: Honourable Mention in the British Association of American Studies Book Prize 2009  '... the book admirably demonstrates how 'marginal, or even eccentric' (p. 48) approaches to the Harlem Renaissance and modernism can usefully illuminate their subjects anew.' Review of English Studies  'The Collage Aesthetic is an intelligent book that extends past research produced in the larger fields of American vernacular modernism and African-American culture to point in a new and dynamic direction for interdisciplinary approaches in American studies... Farebrother's book will help to rethink aesthetic concerns and the powerful alternative mode of knowledge that comes from literary texts and the arts.' Zeitschrift fÃ¼r Anglistik und Amerikanistik  'It is always a pleasure to review a book that one wholeheartedly enjoys and admires. The College Aesthetic in the Harlem Renaissance is a beautifully, carefully conducted study. It is also sufficiently contained in its focus on three writers to allow the reader’s mind to roam to other writers, other works, and related issues. I found the book inspiring in its offering a key term that not only connects visual arts, anthropology, and creative writing but also stages a model exploration of the complicated relations between Harlem Renaissance writing and other modernist work, and the cultural and political contexts within which both occurred. Farebrother makes a strong case for the payoffs of a critical approach that reveals such new relations without erasing important, meaning-making distinctions.' African American Review

'To have a sophisticated understanding of contemporary world politics, one needs to have a grasp of the schools of thought discussed in this volume. They provide important concepts, critiques, and questions that can illuminate a variety of issues. I therefore applaud the appearance of this volume and hope it has a wide readership.' Robert O. Keohane [taken from the Foreword]  'Theoretical debates in IR have increasingly been dominated by American perspectives and concerns. This book is refreshing because it offers a European perspective on these debates. Mario TelÃ² argues persuasively that the development and persistence of the European Union requires adjustments in all the leading theories of IR. His book will be required reading for all students of international politics.' Andrew Gamble, University of Cambridge, UK  ’Mario TelÃ² offers quite simply the best articulation to date of the impact of the European project on international relations theory.  Not all scholars will agree with his thesis that the project really is paradigm changing.  But no scholar keen to present a comprehensive theory of contemporary international politics should think they can do so without engaging with him.’   Richard Higgott, University of Warwick, UK  ’...an ambitious, rich & multifaceted book, which should be of interest to academics, students & policy-makers worldwide, interested in the (current & future) governance architecture of our global society, in general, and the role therein played by the EU & other supranational regions, in particular.’ Journal of Common Market Studies

International Relations: A European Perspective

'At a time when the potential triggers for military action seem to proliferate, it is imperative to take a serious critical look at the philosophical and legal perspectives that have shaped our understanding of the legitimacy of the resort to force, as well as of the nature of the constraints that govern its use. This collection of essays offers much needed analytical insights into these issues, insights that will enrich the debates among academic as well as policy making circles.' George Andreopoulos, City University of New York, USA   ’With this invaluable edited collection of essays Howard Hensel adds to his reputation as a distinguished interpreter of just war thinking and international humanitarian law, and their application to current  problems. For both specialist and practitioner this learned and  comprehensive volume is of great help in clarifying the links between law, morality and war.’ Richard Falk, Princeton University and UCSB, USA  '...Hensel makes the point that the main issue is to know to what extent international humanitarian law can influence the law of contemporary warfare. Even though the work is far from being exhaustive on the subject, it allows the reader to grasp the key issues.' Etudes Internationales

'Walker, Stanton, Salmon and Jenkins have written a highly relevant book that describes what information technology can offer to command and control, acknowledging the importance of keeping the decision maker in charge. The sociotechnical perspective is broadened to reflect the challenges of complex environments, and the requirements for human factors integration. In short, the book presents a comprehensive framework.' Gary Klein, Applied Research Associates, USA   'This book aims to apply socio-technical theory to the design and practice of Network Enabled Capability.  It succeeds and in so doing contributes substantially to our understanding of both domains.  Especially interesting are the authors' propositions on the design and use of military equipment, and the presentation of some new guiding sociotechnical principles for design.  The authors argue persuasively for the need to put humans at the centre of complex networked systems - Amen to that!' Chris W. Clegg, Leeds University Business School, UK  'In writing this book, the authors set themselves the ambitious goal of using HFI research to identify linkages between the various disciplines involved in NCW, then using those linkages to build conceptual bridges that ’reach out across various interdisciplinary boundaries’. This interdisciplinary approach, focused on understanding how the human operates in the NCW environment, offers a unique and valuable insight into modern command and control arrangements. The book’s extensive and thorough review of literature relating to organisational design will see many readers drawn out of their conceptual comfort-zone to alternative views that will nonetheless enhance their understanding of command and control in the informationage. Although some readers may at times find the data analysis impenetrable, the unique insights that this analysis provides makes the additional effort worthwhile. This book is a ’must read’ for all involved or interested in the develop
