Presto li useremo come estensioni del nostro corpo, per migliorarci e renderci più sani e forti. E forse, domani, saranno simili agli organismi viventi.Dal Golem a Terminator, è dalla notte dei tempi che l'umanità sogna queste creature immortalandole in figure di eroi salvifici o di mostri temibili nel mito, nella letteratura, nel cinema. E oggi questi figli dell'immaginazione e della conoscenza, questi simboli del legame inscindibile tra uomo e tecnologia approdano dal regno della fantasia alla realtà quotidiana, inaugurando quella che per gli esperti sarà l'era dei robot.Siamo pronti al loro debutto in società Riusciremo a convivere con queste macchine senza divenirne schiavi Sapremo farne un uso pacifico, per il bene dell'umanità e dei robot stessi 163 pp. Italienisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This excellent addition to the UTiCS series of undergraduate textbooks provides a detailed and up to date description of the main principles behind the design and implementation of modern programming languages.Rather than focusing on a specific language, the book identifies the most important principles shared by large classes of languages. To complete this general approach, detailed descriptions of the main programming paradigms, namely imperative, object-oriented, functional and logic are given, analysed in depth and compared. This provides the basis for a critical understanding of most of the programming languages.An historical viewpoint is also included, discussing the evolution of programming languages, and to provide a context for most of the constructs in use today. The book concludes with two chapters which introduce basic notions of syntax, semantics and computability, to provide a completely rounded picture of what constitutes a programming language. 440 pp. Englisch.

They must not only be expert in performing flight simulations but must also be proficient in such dissimilar subjects as photography, thermodynamics, electrical repairs, flight procedures, oceanography, public affairs, and geology. In Prepare for Launch, the author introduces the technologies and myriad activities that constitute or affect astronaut training, such as the part-task trainers, emergency procedures, the fixed-based and motion-based simulators, virtual environment training, and the demands of training in the Weightless Environment Training Facility. With plans to return to the Moon and future missions to Mars, the current selection criteria and training are very different from those used for short duration mission Space Shuttle crews. Dr. Erik Seedhouse in this book focuses on how astronaut candidates are taught to cope with different needs and environments (for example, hibernation, artificial gravity, and bioethics issues) and also includes brief discussions of the astronaut application and selection process. 246 pp. Englisch.

Wells s fight against lynching is a viable option to address systemic forms of oppression.

Ethical Complications of Lynching highlights the residual effects of lynching as a twenty-first century moral impediment in the fight to actualize ethical possibilities. 194 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -European integration has had, and is continuing to have, an enormous impact on the state of Europe: through transforming the nation-state; creating new supranational institutions and joint policy-making; integrating markets and liberalizing trade; fiscal redistribution; and through fostering the formation of transnational elite networks and growing identification with Europe; but also through accentuating social friction; raising concerns about the remoteness of supranational policy-making and serving as a focal point for 'Eurosceptic' political mobilization. Thus, it is increasingly crucial for researchers, students and citizens to understand the complex history of the present-day European Union. This book provides them with a highly accessible state of the art introduction to how historians and social scientists have conceptualized, written about, and debated this increasingly shared contemporary history of Europe since World War II. A comprehensive and accessible look at how historians and social scientists have thought and written about the present-day European Union, and the main themes of their research and debates 268 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 have been called the world's first live global media event. Responding to the immediacy and collective shock produced by live coverage of the collapse of the Twin Towers, print, televisual, and networked media have become obsessed with the pre-mediation of potential futures.In an era of heightened securitization, US and global media have attempted to prevent a recurrence of such media trauma by ensuring that no future will be able to emerge into the present that has not already been premeditated in the past. Socially networked US and global media work to premediate collective affects of anticipation and connectivity, while also perpetuating low levels of apprehension or fear.Following up on the groundbreaking work of media theory Remediation: Understanding New Media , Grusin develops the logic of premediation in terms of such concepts as mediality, the affective life of media, and the anticipation of security. In this follow-up to the foundational text Remediation: Understanding Media , Richard Grusin analyses the cultural obsession with 'pre-mediating' the future in socially networked media since 9/11 196 pp. Englisch.
