"The book challenges and invites the reader to explore alternative modes of thought and forms of education that do not lead to certain and stable conceptions of the subject. As a result, it is down to us to choose how to respond to his invitation to join or start a conversation about how education might be conceived differently in our own practice and research."Sharon Smith, University of Birmingham, cited in: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00071005.2020.1785788"Forms of Education is a work of philosophy of education with the kind of energy and emotion often absent in writing on education... Overall, the text, while dense in places, is a compelling read that jars with established educational thought. Its style has a pace and energy to it, not always a feature of philosophy of education literature." Lewis Stockwell, University of Hertfordshire, cited in: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00131857.2020.1772010and https://www.philosophy-of-education.org/book-reviews/book-review-forms-of-education/

Rethinking Educational Experience Against and Outside the Humanist Legacy

Forms of Education

"Civic Medicine offers a striking and pathbreaking perspective on medical knowledge in early modern Europe. Transcending influential approaches in which physicians and patients are viewed as caught up in the networks of the medical marketplace or else of modernising territorial states, Mendelsohn and his team focus instead on the role and activities of physicians in civic office across the continent. This provides a stimulating, holistic vision of the early modern physician and his world, now grounded in an enriched sense of community rather than the market or the state."– Colin Jones, co-author of The Medical World of Early Modern France"At last we are beginning to understand early modern physicians as full-fledged members of their urban polities, holding offices, taking oaths, and entering into the world of the experts who knew how to employ paper technologies. According to the authors of this volume, even the attentiveness of physicians to careful written descriptions of medical cases arose more from civic humanism than from medicalization, medical police, professionalization, the new science, or even commerce. In revisiting the history of city physicians, these studies offer new insights into medicine’s civic past."– Harold J. Cook, author of Matters of Exchange: Commerce, Medicine, and Science in the Dutch Golden Age

"An essential read to understand Arabian Peninsula modernism, this book offers precious clues to decode the landscapes of Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait City, Manama, Riyadh, and Sharjah."
Pascal Ménoret, author of Joyriding in Riyadh
"Urban Modernity in the Contemporary Gulf is a must-read for anyone interested in architectural history today. Formatted as a collection of scholarly essays by architects and historians, each addressing a different element of the modern building era in the Gulf, this book begins to address, in crucial ways, the enduring blind spots that continue to plague our collective knowledge of the region’s history as manifest through the design, planning, and building of its cities and fabric.

From a persistent narrative of the sudden emergence of glittering skylines created by benevolent rulers to simplistic notions of a divide between what has been described as the ‘real’ intellectual and cultural heart of the Middle East (embodied by ancient cities such as Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, and Cairo) and the ‘newcomers’ – the city-states of the Gulf – extant histories have and continue to limit the many alternative narratives needed as foundations to imagine the region’s future(s).

Through careful, thoughtful, and well-researched case studies across the many rich and varied urban contexts of the Gulf states – from Dubai to Doha, from Riyadh to Kuwait City – Urban Modernity in the Contemporary Gulf offers a necessary and powerful antidote to enduring gaps in knowledge. I have no doubt that this work will become foundational for scholarship in the years to come and that it will inspire a generation of practitioners of the built environment who seek to simultaneously preserve and protect the best of the past and the most promising for the future."
Amale Andraos, Dean and Professor, Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, and Co-Founder, WORKac
"The architectural boom in the Gulf whizzed by faster than history, theory, and criticism were able to thoroughly examine it. Most studies wondered in amazement at its daring and opulence. Yet, between the state-of-the-art present and an imagined, ancient golden age lay a gaping hole: the modern. This book bridges that distance with a collection of essays by a group of young scholars for whom the modern is the memory of their childhood. From a pan-Arab context to another one of imported Western expertise and local engagement, and on to variations on the notion of heritage, these scholars reconstitute from the fragments of Gulf modernism a historical whole. As such, the book moves beyond nostalgia and offers strategies to restore these cities’ forgotten modernism."
Nasser Rabbat, Aga Khan Professor of Islamic Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

"Over a period of more than five decades, urban modernity has been, and continues to be, produced and reproduced in various cities across the Gulf.　These cities are continuously witnessing dramatic twists and turns that represent a wide spectrum of intents, attitudes, influences, references, and resistances.　This is fully articulated in a series of vibrant discussions and intellectual arguments, characterized by a new, impartial openness, of the contemporary condition of architecture and urbanism in the Gulf region with its variety and plurality of perspectives and interests.

This book offers a refreshing outlook on urban modernity in the contemporary Gulf, with multiple voices thoughtfully categorized into three key sections that capture the recent past, present, and future.　Through the utilization of various perspectives and substantial theoretical underpinnings, Roberto Fabbri and Sultan Sooud Al-Qassemi draw our attention to the uniqueness and the multifaceted nature of the urban condition in the Gulf, where cities continue to convey much of what counts today as culture, knowledge, identity, and politics. This is an important contribution to the discourse on architecture and urbanism in a continuously and rapidly growing region."
Ashraf M. Salama, Professor of Architecture, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland

Obsolescence and Opportunities

Urban Modernity in the Contemporary Gulf

This exciting addition to the literature on what, how, and why we preserve cultural resources and the tangible manifestations of history has extraordinary reach across intellectual and physical realms. Heritage conservation, or historic preservation, has been undergoing a radical rethinking globally, because of new contexts (climate change, population shifts, social and economic inequality, the rise of populism…) and new understandings of the ethical implications of existing theory, policy, and practice. The essays in this volume leap forcefully into these debates, using case studies from two dozen countries, and bringing the insights of an impressive array of new voices—both practitioners and scholars—to the conversation. The authors address a wide range of difficult and challenging issues that confront practitioners in heritage conservation, along with a broad diversity of sites, from indigenous habitats to war zones, classic landmarks to industrial compounds. Meanwhile, the editors have placed these explorations into a rich intellectual framework of themes and conceptual dualities that reveal the polarized discourse Bharne and Sandmeier see as heritage conservation today. The result is a provocative, stimulating, and profoundly useful text. Jeffrey M. ChusidChair, Department of City and Regional PlanningAssociate Professor, Historic Preservation Planning ProgramCollege of Architecture, Art and PlanningCornell UniversityThis volume may well exceed heritage conservation to also be a guide of design consideration of projects throughout urban settings. It will be an essential reference for those who have just become curious about conservation because of an issue nearby, for those learning in college about "what is conservation anyway," and for those in professional practices who properly struggle with the complex range of conservation problems and opportunities at home and abroad. Having this volume available will help us work our way more regularly to public acceptance and cultural delight, extending heritage conservation globally.Robert S. Harris, FAIA, Hon. ASLAEmeritus Professor of ArchitectureUniversity of Southern CaliforniaThere are three seemingly obvious but often overlooked aspects of what makes a city so vital and vibrant:  the city belongs to all of us; the city is combination of old and new; and the city is global. This book embraces all these crucial aspects of heritage conservation in the urban context, which is an issue at the forefront of the 21st century:  What do we value as worth conserving? How do we do it and for whose benefit?  None of these of questions have easy answers, but this welcome addition to the literature enables – and indeed, empowers – us to reconsider heritage conservation by paying close attention to pressing local challenges in an increasingly global context.  In this regard, the scope of the book is breathtaking, taking us Bali to Jerusalem Los Angeles to Shanghai and beyond, while addressing a wide range of issues - from cultural landscapes to industrial heritage to earthquakes to military infrastructure.  For those who may be new to the topic, the introductory chapter itself is a brief yet excellent overview of the major themes in the field. Perhaps this book’s most significant contribution is in the ways it reaches far beyond the usual aesthetics and materiality of the objects to be conserved and critically examines relatively invisible aspects such as the underlying perceptions, approaches, and values that actually drive global heritage conservation yesterday, today, and tomorrow.Professor Aseem Inam, Chair in Urban Design, Cardiff University

Routledge Companion to Global Heritage Conservation

Praise for First Class:&#34;The United States Postal Service has been targeted for privatization (read: dismantlement) by conservative Republicans for decades. In his new book, Shaw convincingly explains why this would have tragic consequences for the future of democracy itself. &#8230; Shaw&#8217;s prose is fresh and accessible, and his arguments are cogent and convincing. Reading this book will give readers a new appreciation for the value of the humble post office.&#34;&#8212;Booklist&#34;Shaw&#8217;s First Class comes at a time when integral institutions are under attack. It is perhaps the most powerful call to save the USPS that this author has ever seen. The book is about what many might consider a mundane subject (postage) but is a crucial read for anyone interested in fighting for democracy, decency, and egalitarianism.&#34;&#8212;Countercurrents&#34;Selling off valuable properties, buildings that the taxpayers paid for, is just one of the ways corporate interests and political ideologues are dismantling the Postal Service, Christopher W. Shaw argues in First Class. The push to take the Postal Service from public to private hands is steady and unrelenting and has serious implications for democracy. &#8230; Shaw traces the essential role of the Post Office ever since Benjamin Franklin served as the country&#8217;s first postmaster general. He details the fights to preserve it and to ensure it remains an essential component of democracy.&#34;&#8212;Berkeleyside&#34;Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, First Class is an essential and unreservedly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Political Science and Contemporary Social Issues collections. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of students, academia, political activists, governmental policy makers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in protecting our U.S. Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic&#8212;the latter especially with specific reference to our postal system.&#34;&#8212;Midwest Book Review&#34;The Postal Service is the crown jewel of the American experiment, our most efficient, trusted and beloved public service. With First Class: The U.S. Postal Service, Democracy, and the Corporate Threat, Christopher Shaw makes a brilliant case for polishing the USPS up and letting it shine in the 21st century.&#34;&#8212;John Nichols, national affairs correspondent for The Nation and author of Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers: Accountability for Those Who Caused the Crisis&#34;Christopher Shaw makes the case for the importance of the Postal Service to democracy in the United States. He argues compellingly that we should be looking to rebuild it, rather than tear it down and privatize it.&#34;&#8212;Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research and author of Rigged&#34;The 'Save the Post Office' movement has long needed a definitive manifesto, and now it has one. Christopher Shaw's First Class shows how special interests and anti-government, anti-union ideologues have promoted a scarcity myth&#8212;the country can&#8217;t afford a first-class postal system&#8212;to justify cost-cutting measures like outsourcing, closing post offices and slowing down the mail. Piece by piece, an essential national infrastructure is being dismantled without our consent. Shaw makes an eloquent case for why the post office is worth saving and why, for the sake of American democracy, it must be saved.&#34;&#8212;Steve Hutkins, founder/editor of Save the Post Office and Professor of English at New York University&#34;Christopher W. Shaw's First Class: The U.S. Postal Service, Democracy, and the Corporate Threat makes a passionate but well-argued case for a healthy USPS. Shaw organizes his methodical argument around decades of attacks on the USPS; in doing so, he effectively refutes the flawed (and often anti-democratic) cases for privatization and deregulation. The USPS is essential for a democratic American society; thank goodness we have this new book from Christopher W. Shaw explaining why.&#34;&#8212;Danny Caine, author of Save the USPS and owner of the Raven Book Store, Lawrence, KS&#34;Shaw's excellent analysis of the Postal Service and its vital role in American Democracy couldn't be more timely. As the current postmaster general is about to implement a ten-year plan that will eliminate all airmail service, greatly reduce delivery times, and cut hours and available services at post offices, it is important to be reminded that a fully functional postal service is essential for elections, for delivery of life-saving medicines, for assistance when communities are dislocated in times of disaster and for rural community identity First Class should serve as a clarion call for Americans to halt the dismantling and to, instead, preserve and enhance the institution that can bind the nation together.&#34;&#8212;Ruth Y. Goldway, Retired Chair and Commissioner, U.S. Postal Regulatory Commission, responsible for the Forever Stamp&#34;In gripping detail, Christopher W. Shaw's First Class tells you who's trying to sabotage the national treasure that is the U.S. Postal Service and why (hint: corporate greed). Shaw's clarion call to protect the postal service explains what's at stake for our communities, our democracy, and our economy. While he celebrates USPS history, Shaw's gaze is primarily forward-looking. In a time of community fracture and corporate predation, he argues, a first-class post office of the future can bring communities together and offer exploitation-free banking and other services.&#34;&#8212;Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen&#34;Christopher Shaw reveals the U.S. Postal Service's historic contributions to the welfare of all Americans, from operating an essential communication and transportation network, to pioneering public banking, to functioning as a linchpin of elections. While the Postal Service's enemies assert its inevitable demise, Shaw presents hope for a rejuvenated public service that plays an integral part of a democratic future.&#34;&#8212;RoseAnn DeMoro, former Executive Director of National Nurses United&#34;Democracy in action &#8230; government that literally delivers &#8230; a service that puts the 'united' in the United States. These aren't throw-away cliches&#8212;they're the essence of our U.S. Postal Service. 'So we must kill it!' That's the perverse intent of a handful of corporate profiteers and their corrupt congressional enablers. How do we stop them and expand the beneficial work of this extraordinary public service? Christopher Shaw shows us the way. Read on &#8230; and act!&#34;&#8212;Jim Hightower, syndicated columnist and radio commentator

From the reviews:

"This book is aimed at people working on simulation and optimization process fabrication of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). … the book provides a fairly complete view of the modeling of microfabrication processes. … ‘It will be invaluable to scientists, engineers, graduate students, and manufacturers engaged in research and development for enhancing the accuracy and precision of microfabrication systems for commercial applications’." (Grégory Guisbiers, Physicalia, Vol. 26 (1), 2004)

Modelling of Microfabrication Systems

"The main contribution of the book relative to existing books on this topic is that it emphasizes the actual model class, rather than methods for these kind of models. The author points out that despite the many advantages of this rich class, its use is still limited among practitioners. He hopes that his new angle will further popularize unobserved component models…the book really achieves its purpose and differentiates itself from alternatives, and is therefore a valuable addition and worth buying. The discussion of software in Chapter 10 is extremely timely and a great plus for practitioners and researchers that are ready to sit down and start implementing. For each software package, clear examples are given on how to run an example unobserved component model…In closing, the book reads well and really provides the reader with a broad understanding of the unobserved component approach. This includes models, methods, and the discussion of software packages. I can imagine that besides being relevant and interesting for practitioners, students will benefit from reading this book. I personally would be more than happy to suggest it to Master and advanced Bachelor students in Econometrics working on the topic in a course or for their thesis."—Michel van der Wel, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The American Statistician, November 2016"Overall, this is a unique book on time series analysis in that it covers substantial amount of material lucidly and succinctly without much fluff in less than 260 pages and achieves its five stated goals. I enjoyed reading the book, and I believe it is an excellent reference book for UCM and related software packages, time series analysis, and study of business cycles. It can also be used as a companion for teaching time series analysis along with a standard time series text."—Journal of Time Series Analysis, 2016

This multiauthor volume edited by Kirschbaum (emer., Humboldt Univ.) and Formicki (West Pomeranian Univ. of Technology, Szczecin) comprises an eighteen-chapter monograph on the microscopic anatomy of fish, with chapters dedicated to the history of histology, histological techniques, and the histology of major fish systems (muscular, digestive, reproductive, etc.). Also included are three indexes sorted by fish family names, English (common) names, and species names. Each chapter, contributed by a unique grouping of authors, includes black-and-white plates representing tissues for each fish system covered. Two chapters are authored by Kirschbaum alone, notably the chapter on the electric organs. The writing is concise and consistently technical. An appendix of high-resolution color plates is also included. Owing to the very technical nature of the text, this volume is most suitable for researchers and fisheries scientists with an active interest in fish histology and histological techniques. It would also serve as an excellent resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who will be involved in performing fish histology work and other fish research.--K. R.

'This book represents the next generation in studies on social reconciliation. Until now much of the writing has been filled with "shoulds" and "oughts" - prescriptions for what might be done at some future point. This book, however, is built on a great deal of experience with the difficult work of reconciliation.  It recognizes the difficult balancing acts that reconciliation entails in the real world, and the necessity of seeing both sides of issues at the same time. This book is a genuine milestone that will give orientation to efforts at reconciliation for the future'. Robert Schreiter, author of 'Reconciliation: Mission and Ministry in a Changing Social Order  'This book [...] is grounded in practical experience of conflict-resolution, and shows the vital contribution that people of faith can make to peace-building.  But that also requires of the individual who is learning to repent to let go, to forgive, and to seek a just and healing reconciliation.'  Church Times

This essential book sits squarely in the ‘required reading’ section for any university theatre course or for anyone who wants to understand the theatrical medium better. It begins with clear, inspiring lessons and tips that guide the writer from conception to fruition while including priceless wisdom from masters in our field. The text provides the reader with invaluable, user-friendly prompts that both allow the writer to be more understanding and critical of their own work, but also to view other’s works with a clearer eye. I simply found this book a pleasure to read and was enlightened and inspired about my own creative process as well as viewing all dramatic works with new insights. A must read!
