Strangers and Misfits
Banishment was crucial to law enforcement in early modern Europe, as magistrates used expulsion to punish and control thousands of offenders convicted of crimes ranging from adultery to theft. While early modern social control has attracted considerable scholarly attention in recent decades, banishment has been largely neglected. This book examines the role of banishment in sixteenth-century Ulm, an important south German city-state, using the town’s experience to uncover how early modern magistrates used expulsion to regulate and reorder society. This investigation sheds new light on the application of authority, the intersection between official disciplinary efforts and customary behavioral norms, and the function of public expulsion in displaying and defending social hierarchies, issues central to our historical understanding of the period.
Life Under Tyranny
The non-fiction book, “Life Under Tyranny” provides historical information about life under a tyrannical government. Newly available released documents from Ukrainian Archives in Odessa, Ukraine, detail the atrocities Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin perpetrated on ethnic Germans living in Ukraine, covering the years from the Russian Revolution to the beginning of World War II. Goldade, with the assistance of associates in Odessa, Ukraine, has retrieved numerous documents from Ukrainian archives covering this dark era. Peter Goldade’s Life Under Tyranny sheds new light on Soviet confiscation of property, deprivations inflicted, and the kangaroo courts that sentenced untold numbers of people to prison, hard labor, gulags—or execution.
Work and AI 2030
In ten years, we will take working with artificial intelligence (AI) more for granted than using cell phones today. 78 recognized experts from practice and research provide deep insights and outlooks regarding the influence of AI on everyday working life in 2030, explaining with practical tips how you can prepare for this development. The 41 concise articles cover a broad spectrum in the area examined in each case. Thanks to a standardized structure, they include a summary of the status quo, concrete examples, future expectations, an overview of challenges and possible solutions, and practical tips. The volume begins with societal and ethical issues before discussing legal considerations for employers and HR professionals, as well as the administration of justice. The other chapters examine the impact of AI on the world of work in 2030 in the sectors of business, industry, mobility and logistics, medicine and pharmaceuticals, and (further) education.
Programming Languages and Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2012, held in Tallinn, Estonia, as part of ETAPS 2012, in March/April 2012. The 28 full papers, presented together with one full length invited talk, were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. Papers were invited on all aspects of programming language research, including: programming paradigms and styles, methods and tools to write and specify programs and languages, methods and tools for reasoning about programs, methods and tools for implementation, and concurrency and distribution.
Origami${}^6$
is a unique collection of papers illustrating the connections between origami and a wide range of fields. The papers compiled in this two-part set were presented at the 6th International Meeting on Origami Science, Mathematics and Education (10-13 August 2014, Tokyo, Japan). They display the creative melding of origami (or, more broadly, folding) with fields ranging from cell biology to space exploration, from education to kinematics, from abstract mathematical laws to the artistic and aesthetics of sculptural design. This two-part book contains papers accessible to a wide audience, including those interested in art, design, history, and education and researchers interested in the connections between origami and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Part 2 focuses on the connections of origami to education and more applied areas of science: engineering, physics, architecture, industrial design, and other artistic fields that go well beyond the usual folded paper.
