Online Virality
The book Online Virality, edited by Valérie Schafer and Fred Pailler (C2DH, University of Luxembourg), aims to provide a comprehensive examination of online virality. It explores the many ways we can think about this modern phenomenon and analyse the circulation, reception, and evolution of viral born-digital content. Virality and content sharing always intertwine material, infrastructural, visual and discursive elements. This involves various platforms, stakeholders, intermediaries, social groups and communities that are constantly (re)defining themselves. Regulation, curation and content moderation politics, as well as affects and emotions (fears, humour, empathy, hatred...), are also at ...
Weather Warfare
In April 1997, United States Secretary of Defense William Cohen declared that there are terrorists at work who “... are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves...“ Weather modification in the form of cloud seeding to increase snow packs in the Sierras or suppress hail over Kansas is now an everyday affair. Hundreds of environmental and weather modifying technologies have been patented in the United States alone-and hundreds more are being developed in civilian, academic, military and quasi-military laboratories around the world at this moment! This book lays bare the gri...

Emotional Survival:Childhood Pain Relived in the Drama of Adult Life
The relational and emotional needs of babies and small children, when not systematically met, will generate feelings of low self-esteem, shame and humiliation. These feelings will remain at the core of the personality, covered up in various forms, ranging from a hurt child living inside an adult’s body or a ‘false self’ of an apparently successful and narcissistic adult, or even like the complex borderline disorder in case of which the individual pushes away the people they need most. This book presents powerful techniques that can be applied in an intense therapeutic relationship, which help bring into the light this ‘ghost-child’ and enable reparatory work of the childhood wounds. It is a must-read for all therapists, teachers and relatives of adults and adolescents who struggle with childhood issues of abandonment, abuse and violence.
Poeira de estrelas
"Se a verdade não o convencer agora, os acontecimentos farão isso mais tarde." Quando o jovem Biron Farrill descobre que seu pai foi assassinado e que sua própria vida corre perigo, decide partir em uma missão perigosa para encontrar respostas e achar os culpados. Ele não imagina, porém, que sua busca o lançará em uma obscura trama de revoltas, conspirações políticas e espionagem. Os rumores cada vez mais fortes de uma rebelião contra o planeta Tirana reacendem a esperança de liberdade para a Região Transnebular. Essa nova perspectiva une Farrill a Artemísia e Gillbret de Rhodia; juntos, eles viajarão pelo espaço à procura do mundo rebelde. Agora, não é apenas um caso de vida ou morte para ele, mas uma questão de salvação para os mundos dominados por Tirana. Publicado em 1951, Poeira de estrelas é o segundo livro da série Império Galáctico, seguindo uma cronologia em termos de "história do futuro", como o próprio Asimov apelidou.
Paraconsistent Intelligent-Based Systems
This book presents some of the latest applications of new theories based on the concept of paraconsistency and correlated topics in informatics, such as pattern recognition (bioinformatics), robotics, decision-making themes, and sample size. Each chapter is self-contained, and an introductory chapter covering the logic theoretical basis is also included. The aim of the text is twofold: to serve as an introductory text on the theories and applications of new logic, and as a textbook for undergraduate or graduate-level courses in AI. Today AI frequently has to cope with problems of vagueness, incomplete and conflicting (inconsistent) information. One of the most notable formal theories for addressing them is paraconsistent (paracomplete and non-alethic) logic.
