Ecological Epistemologies and Spiritualities in Brazilian Ecovillages In the Labyrinth of an Environmental Anthropology

Ecological Epistemologies and Spiritualities in Brazilian Ecovillages In the Labyrinth of an Environmental Anthropology

This book brings together ethnographic field research on four permacultural ecovillages in Brazil to highlight the importance of spirituality and ecological epistemologies as key analytical tools. It demonstrates that ecological spirituality can and should be understood beyond the dichotomy of personal and political between people and nature in the field of environmental anthropology. The book uses a broad philosophical methodology based on the phenomenological theories of Maurice Merleau-Ponty Tim Ingold and Alfred Schutz combined with post-structuralist conceptions of the relationship between person and world individual and society. The field research consisted of ethnographic travel observation and recorded dialogue with individuals based in each ecovillage: Arca Verde situated in Campos de Cima da Serra; Vrinda Bhumi a Vaishnava ecovillage in Baependi-MG; Goura Vrindavana a Vaishnava ecovillage in Paraty-RJ; and Muriqui Assu Ecovillage Project a secular ecovillage in Niterói-RJ. Throughout the book ethnographic research is woven together with poetic interludes images personal narrative experience and phenomenological theory bringing a new understanding and approach to environmental anthropology as a discipline. Including a Preface written by Tim Ingold it will appeal to academics researchers and upper-level students in phenomenology environmental philosophy environmental anthropology religious studies and social sciences more broadly. | Ecological Epistemologies and Spiritualities in Brazilian Ecovillages In the Labyrinth of an Environmental Anthropology

Cyanotype Toning Using Botanicals to Tone Blueprints Naturally

Cyanotype Toning Using Botanicals to Tone Blueprints Naturally

Cyanotype is the most accessible and frequently used of all the alternative photographic processes. When utilized properly it has the potential to rival other processes when it comes to detail and tonal range but its Prussian blue color isn’t always suitable for the final photograph. Throughout history cyanotype prints have been toned not only with various—and at times hazardous—chemicals but also with more natural ingredients like tea and coffee. Since the cyanotype itself is non-toxic Cyanotype Toning will champion an innovative process developed by the author of toning cyanotypes with natural material. This process which is easy and reliable offers a much broader range of possible colors and even beautiful black and whites. Even duotone or tricolor prints can be attained. The book consists of two parts. Part One is a step-by-step how-to section including all the information that a student at any level needs to achieve a successfully toned print. Easy-to-understand background information is provided on how and why the process works so that readers can venture on their own into the world of natural colors. The first part also has a detailed section on all the factors that can influence the outcome like paper choice water quality properties of the plants temperature of the bath and the duration of the toning. Part Two is devoted to contemporary artists who have explored toning with botanicals and integrated the process into their creative practice. The book includes: A list of equipment and supplies needed. In depth information about useful plants and the specific properties that make them suitable for toning cyanotypes. Concise step-by-step instructions for printing cyanotypes successfully. A chart of more than 60 tested papers with recommendations on paper choice. Step-by-step generic instructions on toning with botanicals. Troubleshooting toning with botanicals. More detailed recipes for specific colors with information about the plants. Step-by-step instructions on how to print duotone and tricolor prints. A range of creative ideas on how to use the process in classrooms and with different age groups. A comprehensive list of more than 380 tested parts of plants and possible color outcomes. Using botanicals to tone cyanotypes broadens the color spectrum enlarges creative possibilities and makes the cyanotype process even more versatile. The process is not cut and dried science but a limitless field for discovery and surprises. Cyanotype Toning provides accessible information and instructions for readers at all levels. It is comprehensive and explanatory so that readers can expand on the subject on their own as did the contemporary artists who share their experiences and the works they have created using this innovative toning process. | Cyanotype Toning Using Botanicals to Tone Blueprints Naturally

Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions

Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions

The properties of strongly correlated electrons confined in two dimensions are a forefront area of modern condensed matter physics. In the past two or three decades strongly correlated electron systems have garnered a great deal of scientific interest due to their unique and often unpredictable behavior. Two of many examples are the metallic state and the metal–insulator transition discovered in 2D semiconductors: phenomena that cannot occur in noninteracting systems. Tremendous efforts have been made in both theory and experiment to create an adequate understanding of the situation; however a consensus has still not been reached. Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions compiles and details cutting-edge research in experimental and theoretical physics of strongly correlated electron systems by leading scientists in the field. The book covers recent theoretical work exploring the quantum criticality of Mott and Wigner–Mott transitions experiments on the metal–insulator transition and related phenomena in clean and dilute systems the effect of spin and isospin degrees of freedom on low-temperature transport in two dimensions electron transport near the 2D Mott transition experimentally observed temperature and magnetic field dependencies of resistivity in silicon-based systems with different levels of disorder and microscopic theory of the interacting electrons in two dimensions. Edited by Sergey Kravchenko a prominent experimentalist this book will appeal to advanced graduate-level students and researchers specializing in condensed matter physics nanophysics and low-temperature physics especially those involved in the science of strong correlations 2D semiconductors and conductor–insulator transitions.

Both books would also be of interest to students practitioners and scholars of science philosophy history and systems art and mental health and drug and alcohol treatment as well as those interested in living history on a daily basis. Volume OneVolume One of The History of Psychology through Symbols provides a groundbreaking approach by expanding the roots of psychology beyond the Greeks to concurrent events during the same period (800 BCE-200 BCE) defined as the Axial Age by German-Swiss psychiatrist Karl Jaspers. The Axial Age emphasized seeking the universal connection that unites all humanity a focus not on what one believed but how one lived. This includes the human desire to connect to something greater the totality of being human explained by using symbol the universal language. The Volume describes the psychological implications of the Axial Age through the developments of Buddhism Hinduism Confucianism Daoism Judaism Zoroastrianism as well as Greek thought. Rooted in the Axial Age Volume One explores how the Christian and Islamic eras influenced psychology which resulted in the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution which provided the historic roots of modern psychology. Rejecting that science transcends historical events the Volume provides a political socio-economic and cultural context for all the historic developments. The chapter on the History of Mental Illness provides inspiration for a new mental health system with specific recommendations for radical system reform. In the spirit of the Axial Age on the importance of how one lives there is an emphasis on engagement with symbols and with specific exercises called emancipatory opportunities to apply the lessons of psychological history to daily life. Volume TwoVolume Two of The History of Psychology through Symbols continues a groundbreaking approach of using symbol to deepen the understanding of psychological history as well as the importance of how one lives an emphasis on engagement with symbols and with specific exercises called emancipatory opportunities to apply the lessons of psychological history to daily life. From the birth of modern psychology in the laboratory of Wilhelm Wundt Volume Two discusses how the early theories of voluntarism structuralism evolution and pragmatism influenced the modern development of psychology. The importance of making unconscious shadow forces in science conscious is explored through the impact of the eugenic movement the controversies surrounding the development of psychological testing and current research biases in psychology. Volume Two describes how Clinical Psychology emerged as a powerful profession in mental health care. The Four Forces of Psychology are explored through their natural and hermeneutic science influences. Psychoanalytic and Jungian Analytical Psychology comprise the first force behaviorism the second force humanistic-existential the third force and transpersonal psychology the fourth force which includes groundbreaking discussion of psychedelic history and research which could revolutionize mental health and drug and alcohol treatment. Rejecting that science transcends historical events the Volume provides a political socio-economic and cultural context for modern psychology and all the Four Forces of Psychology.

Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities

Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities

The science of AI was born a little over 60 years ago but for most of that time its achievements were modest. In 2012 it experienced a big bang when a branch of statistics called Machine Learning (and a sub-branch called Deep Learning) was applied to it. Now machines have surpassed humans in image recognition and they are catching up with us at speech recognition and natural language processing. Every day the media reports the launch of a new service a new product and a new demonstration powered by AI. When will it end? The surprising truth is the AI revolution has only just begun. Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities argues that in the course of this century the exponential growth in the capability of AI is likely to bring about two singularities - points at which conditions are so extreme that the normal rules break down. The first is the economic singularity when machine skill reaches a level that renders many of us unemployable and requires an overhaul of our current economic and social systems. The second is the technological singularity when machine intelligence reaches and then surpasses the cognitive abilities of an adult human relegating us to the second smartest species on the planet. These singularities will present huge challenges but this book argues that we can meet these challenges and overcome them. If we do the rewards could be almost unimaginable. This book covers: • Recent developments in AI and its future potential • The economic singularity and the technological singularity in depth • The risks and opportunities presented by AI • What actions we should take Artificial intelligence can turn out to be the best thing ever to happen to humanity making our future wonderful almost beyond imagination. But only if we address head-on the challenges that it will raise. Calum Chace is a best-selling author of fiction and non-fiction books and articles focusing on the subject of artificial intelligence. He is a regular speaker on artificial intelligence and related technologies and runs a blog on the subject at www. pandoras-brain. com. Prior to becoming a full-time writer and speaker he spent 30 years in business as a marketer a strategy consultant and a CEO. He studied philosophy at Oxford University where he discovered that the science fiction he had been reading since boyhood was simply philosophy in fancy dress.

Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Misogyny and its opposite philogyny have been perennial topics in Western literature from its earliest days to the present day but only at certain historic periods have pro-woman authors challenged fundamental negative assumptions about women by engaging in formal debate with misogynists and juxtaposing these two attitudes toward women in pairs or series of texts devoted exclusively to discussing womankind. This dialectic of attack on and defence of the female sex known as the querelle des femmes (debate about women) was especially popular among authors and readers during the sixteenth and earlier seventeenth centuries in England. At least 36 texts exclusively devoted to attacking and/or defending women were published in the hundred years between 1540 and 1640. The works included in these two volumes exemplify the content and the methods of debate in England during those two centuries. Volume one includes texts from 1521 through to 1615. | Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1
