Independent Component Analysis
A tutorial-style introduction to a class of methods for extracting independent signals from a mixture of signals originating from different physical sources; includes MatLab computer code examples.

Young, Muslim and Criminal
In recent years there has been significant negative attention towards young British male Muslims, who are perceived to be increasingly dangerous and criminal. However, few studies have attempted to understand their lived experiences. After spending four years with a group of young British Pakistani Muslim men who were accused of criminal acts, Qasim gained unique first-hand insight into their multifaceted lives. In this book he unwraps their lives, taking into account their socioeconomic situation, the make-up of their community, and the cultural and religious influences which impacted on them and their involvement in crime. He explores their identities and explains what role, if any, religion and Pakistani culture play in their criminal behavior. With a focus on the apparent link with gun crime and drug dealing, this important book exposes the complex nature of the young men's pathways into crime.
Archaeology and the Media
The public’s fascination with archaeology has meant that archaeologists have had to deal with media more regularly than other scholarly disciplines. How archaeologists communicate their research to the public through the media and how the media view archaeologists has become an important feature in the contemporary world of academic and professional archaeologists. In this volume, a group of archaeologists, many with media backgrounds, address the wide range of questions in this intersection of fields. An array of media forms are covered including television, film, photography, the popular press, art, video games, radio and digital media with a focus on the overriding question: What are the long-term implications of the increasing exposure through and reliance upon media forms for archaeology in the contemporary world? The volume will be of interest to archaeologists and those teaching public archaeology courses.
