Toward A Minor Architecture
A major proposal for a minor architecture, and for the making of spaces out of the already built. Architecture can no longer limit itself to the art of making buildings; it must also invent the politics of taking them apart. This is Jill Stoner's premise for a minor architecture. Her architect's eye tracks differently from most, drawn not to the lauded and iconic but to what she calls “the landscape of our constructed mistakes”—metropolitan hinterlands rife with failed and foreclosed developments, undersubscribed office parks, chain hotels, and abandoned malls. These graveyards of capital, Stoner asserts, may be stripped of their excess and become sites of strategic spatial operations....
Instrumental Community
How networked structures of collaboration and competition within a community of researchers led to the invention, spread, and commercialization of scanning probe microscopy. The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) has been hailed as the “key enabling discovery for nanotechnology,” the catalyst for a scientific field that attracts nearly $20 billion in funding each year. In Instrumental Community, Cyrus Mody argues that this technology-centric view does not explain how these microscopes helped to launch nanotechnology—and fails to acknowledge the agency of the microscopists in making the STM and its variants critically important tools. Mody tells the story of the invention, spread, and ...
Cognitive Architecture
Noo-politics is most broadly understood as a power exerted over the life of the mind, reconfiguring perception, memory and attention. This volume unites specialists in political and aesthetic philosophy, neuroscience, sociology and architecture, and presents their ideas for re-thinking the city in terms of neurobiology and Noo-politics. The book examines the relationship between information and communication, calling for a new logic of representation, and shows how architecture can merge with urban systems and processes to create new forms of network that empower the imagination and change our cultural landscape.

The Routledge Handbook of Linguistic Prescriptivism
This handbook provides a comprehensive and cutting-edge overview of the field of linguistic prescriptivism. Mapping the current status quo of the field and marking its two-decade transformation into a serious field of study within linguistics, this volume addresses both the value and the methods of studying prescriptivism. It covers: • Theoretical and methodological approaches – from historical to experimental approaches and including corpus-based methods and attitudes research; • Contexts in which prescriptive efforts can be both observed and studied – including in education, technology, the media, language planning and policies, and everyday grassroots practices; • Geographical c...
Advances onto the Internet of Things
The title of this book is a pun on the use of the preposition “onto” with the aim of recalling “Ontology”, the term commonly adopted in the computer science community to indicate the study of the formal specification for organizing knowledge. In the field of knowledge engineering, Ontologies are used for modeling concepts and relationships on some domain. The year 2013 celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the World Wide Web. The simple network of hypermedia has transformed the world of communications with enormous implications on the social relationships. However, traditional World Wide Web is currently experiencing a challenging evolution toward the Internet of Things (IoT), toda...
México al chile
Dicen que segundas partes nunca han sido buenas, (pero que la excepción son El Padrino II y El Imperio Contraataca) y aunque este es un libro y no una película, todo parece indicar que esta segunda parte de México al chile, el libro que muchos políticos y empresarios NO quieren que lean y lo han descontinuado, contiene mucho más picante y acidez que su antecesor. Desde las controvertidas elecciones de 2012 hasta los sucesos mediáticos del 2013, Fabián Giles vuelve a mostrar porque el humor y la política son ingredientes necesarios para condimentar la vida nacional. Aderezados con una buena dosis de fotomontajes ventilados por los medios actuales como las redes sociales y el internet que le han ayudado a transmitir las ideas para hacer reflexión de lo que nos sucede, y aunque a veces nos haga llorar, pero de la risa, con tantas tonterías que vemos a diario hacer a la clase política que no nos dicen las cosas como todos quisieramos: Al chile. Agárrense fuerte porque este libro viene doblemente entrón pues si se quedaron más que picados con lo anterior: Tómenlo con calma y siéntense a leerlo antes de que a éste también lo descontinúen...
