Highlighting interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research concerning graphics science and education, the papers address theoretical research as well as applications, including education, in several fields of science, technology and art. Mainly focusing on graphics for communication, visualization, description and storytelling, and for learning and thought construction, the book provides architects, engineers, computer scientists, and designers with the latest advances in the field, particularly in the context of science, arts and education.
Fever Dreams of a Parasite
Iniguez weaves haunting tales that traverse worlds both familiar and alien in Fever Dreams of a Parasite. Paying homage to Lovecraft, Ligotti, and Langan, these cosmic horror, weird fiction, and folk-inspired stories explore tales of outsiders, killers, and tormented souls as they struggle to survive the lurking terrors of a cold and cruel universe. With symbolism and metaphor pulled from his Latino roots, Iniguez cuts deep into the political undercurrent to expose an America rarely presented in fiction. Whether it’s the desperation of poverty, the fear of deportation or the countless daily slights endured by immigrants, every story is precisely rendered, often with a twist that allows us to see the mundane with fresh eyes.
Women of Power
At a time when a woman--Angela Merkel--is arguably the most powerful leader in Europe and another--Hilary Clinton--continues to be at the center of the US political stage, it seems that women have broken through the glass ceiling and begun to populate the highest offices of the political world. Women of Power is a testament to that accomplishment, offering the most comprehensive overview of female presidents and prime ministers to date. Looking at over fifty countries and over seventy women leaders since 1960, Torild Skard--herself an experienced politician--examines how and why these women rose to the top and what their leadership has meant for women's empowerment throughout the latter half...

Speaking Truths
The twenty-first century is already riddled with protests demanding social justice, and in every instance, young people are leading the charge. But in addition to protesters who take to the streets with handmade placards are young adults who engage in less obvious change-making tactics. In Speaking Truths, sociologist Valerie Chepp goes behind-the-scenes to uncover how spoken word poetry—and young people’s participation in it—contributes to a broader understanding of contemporary social justice activism, including this generation’s attention to the political importance of identity, well-being, and love. Drawing upon detailed observations and in-depth interviews, Chepp tells the story...

A Babbo Morto
Natale… i regali, il cenone, i parenti… ma ci avete mai pensato alle condizioni di lavoro dei folletti nella fabbrica di Babbo Natale? Zerocalcare sì, e vi racconta per la prima volta la scabrosa verità dietro al business della consegna dei regali. Bonus! Le anziane rider della Befana scioperano insieme ai minatori sardi (le cui miniere di carbone vengono chiuse perché nelle calze i bambini preferiscono trovare gli orsetti gommosi), per ottenere migliori condizioni di lavoro! Un libro a metà tra favola (cinica) illustrata e fumetto, magistralmente colorato da Alberto Madrigal. Quando finirete di leggerlo vi ripeterete ad alta voce che Babbo Natale non esiste per sentirvi meno tristi!
Kobane Calling Oggi
Quattro anni dopo la prima edizione, Kobane calling di Zerocalcare torna in un’edizione aggiornata, che comprende una nuova copertina, risguardi geografici aggiornati, una nuova introduzione dell’autore e la storia su Lorenzo “Orso” Orsetti pubblicata originariamente su Internazionale nel luglio del 2019. Perché attualizzare la situazione dei curdi siriani e della loro terra contesa, il Rojava, è oggi più importante che mai.
