E-book Robotics: A Very Short Introduction

Robotics is a key technology in the modern world, a well-established part of manufacturing and warehouse automation, assembling cars or washing machines, or moving goods to and from storage racks for Internet mail order.

E-book Hidden Dimensions: The Unification of Physics and Consciousness (Colum…

Bridging the gap between the world of science and the realm of the spiritual, B.

E-book The New Public Diplomacy : Soft Power in International Relations

The idea to create this book was triggered by the feeling that the debate about public diplomacy after September 2001 had mainly taken place in the press and that the time was ripe for students of diplomacy to look at this phenomenon. In the early stages of the book it became clear how much confusion still surrounded public diplomacy (that is, the relationship between diplomats and the foreign …

E-book A Dictionary of Diplomacy

In this second edition of A Dictionary of Diplomacy we have added a considerable number of entries, excluded some which no longer seemed significant, reworked others in the light of further reflection, and corrected a few errors. We would like to thank all of those who offered criticisms of the first edition and suggested new entries for inclusion in this one, notably Lorna Lloyd (who also gav…

E-book Sea Monsters : Things from the Sea

On a recent visit to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, I lingered a little while longer than usual in my favorite exhibit: the Sant Ocean Hall (see oppo-site page). Wandering with no telos in mind, I let myself bask before bioluminescent beings, tremble in awe at the improbability of the extremophiles, and gaze up like a supplicant at the model of Phoenix, a North Atlantic…

Other related behaviors are deliberate self-harm, parasuicide, and non-suicidal self-injury (5). Given the significant difference…

The Global Commission on Democracy, Elections and Security identified five major challenges to the conduct of elections with integrity in its 2012 report: building the rule of law to substantiate claims to human rights and electoral justice, developing professional and competent electoral manage…

E-book Fighting Fit : Boxing Workouts, Techniques and Sparring

Boxing has become important to me rather late in life (I took it up when I was 48!). I believe it connects to something primal, and I think many males, and perhaps a lot of females, too, share a desire that has something to do with gaining physical courage.As co-author Alan Lachica says, boxers put it on the line and there you face an array of intense emotions including fear and your physical l…

E-book Karawitan : Source Readings in Javanese Gamelan and Vocal Music

Look at the picture for a while, if you will, even if you cannot read theJavanese writing on it. It is a picture on a calendar for the months of Novemberand December 1978. I remember Judith and I were talking then about the like-ness between the structure of Javanese music, the way plots of shadow plays areput together, and the way cale…

E-book The Anthropology of Music

Ethnomusicology today is an area of study caught up in a fascination with itself. Although its roots can be traced back some eighty years, and its origin perhaps even earlier, it is only within the past ten or fifteen years that, under the impetus of younger scholars who had brought to it new concepts of theory, method, and application, it has taken a sudden forward surge. The result has been a…
