The Gates of Gaza
A gripping first-person account of how one Israeli grandfather helped rescue two generations of his family on October 7, 2023—a saga that reveals the deep tensions and systemic failures behind Hamas's attacks that day. On the morning of October 7, Amir Tibon and his wife were awakened by mortar rounds exploding near their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a progressive Israeli community less than a mile from Gaza City. Soon, they were holding their two young daughters in the family’s reinforced safe room, urging them not to cry as gunfire echoed just outside the door. With his cell phone battery running low, Amir texted his father: “The girls are behaving really well, but I’m worried they’...
Biology of Plant Volatiles
Plant volatiles—compounds emitted from plant organs to interact with the surrounding environment—play essential roles in attracting pollinators and defending against herbivores and pathogenes, plant-plant signaling, and abiotic stress responses. Biology of Plant Volatiles, with contributions from leading international groups of distinguished scientists in the field, explores the major aspects of plant scent biology. Responding to new developments in the detection of the complex compound structures of volatiles, this book details the composition and biosynthesis of plant volatiles and their mode of emission. It explains the function and significance of volatiles for plants as well as inse...
Visual Domain Adaptation in the Deep Learning Era
Solving problems with deep neural networks typically relies on massive amounts of labeled training data to achieve high performance/b>. While in many situations huge volumes of unlabeled data can be and often are generated and available, the cost of acquiring data labels remains high. Transfer learning (TL), and in particular domain adaptation (DA), has emerged as an effective solution to overcome the burden of annotation, exploiting the unlabeled data available from the target domain together with labeled data or pre-trained models from similar, yet different source domains. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of such DA/TL methods applied to computer vision, a field whose popula...
Die Tore von Gaza
Dieses Buch ist Reportage und Geschichte des Massakers, dessen Datum für immer im Gedächtnis bleiben wird: der 7. Oktober 2023: Am Morgen des 7. Oktober wurden Amir Tibon und seine Frau von Mörsergranaten geweckt, die in der Nähe ihres Hauses im Kibbuz Nahal Oz, einer israelischen Siedlung an der Grenze zum Gazastreifen, einschlugen. Sie verbarrikadierten sich mit den beiden kleinen Töchter im Schutzraum des Hauses und ermahnten sie, nicht zu weinen, während sie die Schüsse der Hamas-Angreifer vor ihren Fenstern hörten. Die Tore von Gaza erzählt die Geschichte des 7. Oktobers durch das Prisma der Ereignisse, die in Nahal Oz über die Familie hereinbrachen, die schließlich von Amir ...
Easy Money
A sweeping history of the American invention of modern money. Economists endlessly debate the nature of legal tender monetary systems—coins and bills issued by a government or other authority. Yet the origins of these currencies have received little attention. Dror Goldberg tells the story of modern money in North America through the Massachusetts colony during the seventeenth century. As the young settlement transitioned to self-governance and its economy grew, the need to formalize a smooth exchange emerged. Printing local money followed. Easy Money illustrates how colonists invented contemporary currency by shifting its foundation from intrinsically valuable goods—such as silver—to the taxation of the state. Goldberg traces how this structure grew into a worldwide system in which, monetarily, we are all Massachusetts. Weaving economics, law, and American history, Easy Money is a new touchstone in the story of monetary systems.
Les Portes de Gaza
Au petit matin du 7 octobre, quand ils sont réveillés par le sifflement des missiles, Amir Tibon et son épouse vivent dans le kibboutz Nahal Oz depuis plusieurs années et ils connaissent les règles : il suffit de se précipiter dans la pièce sécurisée de la maison et d’attendre que la situation se calme. Mais ce samedi-là ils comprennent que la journée sera différente de toutes les autres alertes qu’ils ont connues. Amir Tibon fait le récit des heures qui suivent avec une simplicité poignante : il faut tout d’abord calmer leurs deux filles âgées de trois ans et de vingt mois. Communiquer avec les autres membres du kibboutz. Joindre les proches à Tel Aviv. Ne pas panique...
The Oxford Handbook of Energy Politics
"In many ways, everything we once knew about energy resources and technologies has been impacted by: the longstanding scientific consensus on climate change and related support for renewable energy; the affordability of extraction of unconventional fuels; increasing demand for energy resources by middle- and low-income nations; new regional and global stakeholders; fossil fuel discoveries and emerging renewable technologies; awareness of (trans)local politics; and rising interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the need for energy justice. Research on these and related topics now appears frequently in social science academic journals-in broad-based journals, such as Internationa...
