Tales from the Daily Tabloid
"Maybe you can't go home again, but when Leonard Milgram is fired by his advertising firm in New York, he does go home. Forced to take a job writing for The Daily Tabloid, he is sent to his old hometown, where he gathers stories from neighbors he always considered to be weird. Among them are Leroy, whose thumb has been bleeding for three years; Mrs. Truax, who sees angels; and Irving Shiffman, the baker, who was trapped in the rubble of a fallen building for 10 days. When Leonard falls in love with the waitress at Edna's Cafe, he learns that strange logic of the spiritual world, which has nothing to do with money or power. As Mrs. Truax announces, "Isn't a single one of us safe from mystery!""--Cover.

Black Education
This volume presents the findings and recommendations of the American Educational Research Association's (AERA) Commission on Research in Black Education (CORIBE) and offers new directions for research and practice. By commissioning an independent group of scholars of diverse perspectives and voices to investigate major issues hindering the education of Black people in the U.S., other Diaspora contexts, and Africa, the AERA sought to place issues of Black education and research practice in the forefront of the agenda of the scholarly community. An unprecedented critical challenge to orthodox thinking, this book makes an epistemological break with mainstream scholarship. Contributors present ...
Dysconscious Racism, Afrocentric Praxis, and Education for Human Freedom: Through the Years I Keep on Toiling
A dynamic leader and visionary teacher/scholar, Joyce E. King has made important contributions to the knowledge base on preparing teachers for diversity, culturally connected teaching and learning, and inclusive transformative leadership for change, often in creative partnership with communities. Dr. King is internationally recognized for her innovative interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching practice, and leadership. Her concept of "dysconscious racism" continues to influence research and practice in education and sociology in the U.S. and in other countries. This volume weaves together ten of her most influential writings and four invited reflections from prominent scholars on the major themes the work addresses. In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces—extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/or practical contributions—so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field.
Fault-Tolerant Control of Nondeterministic Input/Output Automata
This book presents novel methods of fault-tolerant control theory in a discrete-event system framework. Nondeterministic input/output automata are used to model nominal and faulty technological systems. The main contributions are the following: Control design method for discrete-event systems Fault modeling technique for actuator, sensor and system internal faults and failures Off-line and on-line control reconfiguration based on trajectory re-planning and input/output adaptation. Two small size running examples are used to explain the developed methods. Experiments on a manufacturing cell demonstrate the application of these methods in a realistic environment. The state of the art is provided on methods for modeling, supervisory control and fault-tolerant control of discrete-event systems.
Theory and Applications of Models of Computation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of Computation, TAMC 2011, held in Tokyo, Japan, in May 2011. The 51 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 136 submissions. The papers address the three main themes of the conference which were computability, complexity, and algorithms and are organized in topical sections on general algorithms, approximation, graph algorithms, complexity, optimization, circuit complexity, data structures, logic and formal language theory, games and learning theory, and cryptography and communication complexity.
The Dynamic Individualism of William James
The Dynamic Individualism of William James analyzes James's rich and complex thought through an examination of his individualism. A central theme of James's writings, individualism underlies his basic views on freedom, society, government, psychology, education, religion, pragmatism, and metaphysics—yet, until now, no one has undertaken a careful study of this important aspect of James's thought. With close readings of texts that include The Principles of Psychology, The Varieties of Religious Experience, and A Pluralistic Universe, James O. Pawelski engages the range of contexts in which James discusses individualism, offers a refreshingly new reading of his work, and, in seeking to resolve James's own psychology, presents an original and convincing case for his dynamic individualism.
Automata, Languages, and Programming
This two-volume set of LNCS 8572 and LNCS 8573 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 41st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2014, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2014. The total of 136 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 484 submissions. The papers are organized in three tracks focussing on Algorithms, Complexity, and Games, Logic, Semantics, Automata, and Theory of Programming, Foundations of Networked Computation.
