Evil And The God Of Love - With A Foreword By Marilyn Mccord Adams [Bok / Häftad]

Dogs is multi-award-winning photographer Tim Flach's stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Equus. Here, Flach once again sets out to document fully the lives of animals whose history is powerfully linked to our own and to provide a unique perspective on one of our closest companions: this time, dogs. Using photographs of dogs both solitary and in groups, as well as in varied settings and locations, Flach uses his lens to present a inimitable and engaging portrait of the physical and spiritual lives of dogs (breeds and crossbreeds of all types) around the globe. Since the wolf first snuck into the caves of our ancestors to take warmth from the fire, dogs have been man's constant companion. Dogs delves deep into the psyche of this enduring bond to create an exquisite study of man's best friendA". From specimens on show at Crufts and Westminster to shelter dogs lovingly rescued by volunteers; from the grace and agility of racing greyhounds to adored domestic companions; from Afghan hounds to Hungarian komondors, the dogs featured in Dogs promise to deliver one of the most appealing, popular and exciting photographic tributes to dogs ever published.

Decision-making in the face of uncertainty is a significant challenge in machine learning, and the multi-armed bandit model is a commonly used framework to address it. This comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the multi-armed bandit problem examines all the major settings, including stochastic, adversarial, and Bayesian frameworks. A focus on both mathematical intuition and carefully worked proofs makes this an excellent reference for established researchers and a helpful resource for graduate students in computer science, engineering, statistics, applied mathematics and economics. Linear bandits receive special attention as one of the most useful models in applications, while other chapters are dedicated to combinatorial bandits, ranking, non-stationary problems, Thompson sampling and pure exploration. The book ends with a peek into the world beyond bandits with an introduction to partial monitoring and learning in Markov decision processes.

This book is the second part of the two-part book Readability - Birth of the Cluster text, Introduction to the Art of learning, i.e. do not forget the first part!<br/><br/>This book is the definitive guide to reading and learning - or to learn about philosophy, science, and pedagogy. After having read this book, you should have become a better reader and learner, and you should also know a little more about philosophy. Hence, this book could also be seen as a general introduction to philosophy. It can be seen in its content:<br/><br/>Part One (524 pages).<br/>1. Reading instructions (25).<br/>2. Pedagogical psychology and pedagogical points (87).<br/>3. Power analytics - an initial relationship to Foucault (52).<br/>4. Phenomenology and the birth of the cluster text (81).<br/>5. Critical hermeneutics and knowledge about reading (102).<br/>6. Micro power learning (learn how to write cluster text) and techniques of discipline (29).<br/>7. Deconstruction and the text in society (62).<br/>8. Positivism and the scientific method (63).<br/><br/>Part Two (516 pages).<br/>9. Philosophy, Morality, Knowledge (220).<br/>10. The non-history of the cluster text (30).<br/>11. Ars Legendi - reading and learning (125).<br/>12. Introduction to Ars Discendi - Are texts wrongly written? (60).<br/>Appendix I, II and III. (60).<br/><br/>This two-part book (1040 pages) is part of a bundle of books that you can use to learn about texts and reading. The others are Are Texts Wrongly Written? (130 pages, 2018), Typographic Manual (170 pages, 2021) and Typographical Investigations (450 pages, 2022?). The two shorter books can be seen as summaries of the two longer ones. Note, for all these books, that the cluster text style is not reflowable and that you need a screen where you can read a line length of 95 characters (i.e. narrow screens are inappropriate).

Readability - Birth of the Cluster text, Introduction to the Art of Learning is the definitive guide to reading and learning. After having read this book, you should have become a better reader and learner, and you should know what typographic style is better to read.<br/><br/>Readability. In a wide sense, readability is about language, legibility, comprehension, and how they affect reading. This book is mainly about legibility and comprehension - language is mostly seen as a medium.<br/><br/>Birth of the Cluster text. This book introduces the cluster text style to a wide audience. Reading speed can be measured in different ways: words per minute (wpm), day span, two-day span and week span. This two-part book should be extensive enough so that average readers (200 wpm) could test their week span and advanced readers (500 wpm) their two-day span, i.e. this reading experience should bring clarity to which typographic style is better to read. Hence, this book could be seen as a scientific experiment. Cluster texts could be as much as twenty percent better than ordinary texts. If this test will show that, we should change how we write texts. In other words, this could be a revolutionary reading experience - you could falsify your earlier thoughts on texts and reading.<br/><br/>Introduction to the Art of Learning. This book introduces an art of reading in an art of learning. To be able to learn how to read better, content is needed. In this book, you will learn about philosophy, science, and pedagogy. It is about what (philosophy/science) and how (pedagogy) we learn. Hence, this book can also be seen as a general introduction to those areas.<br/><br/>Note that this book is part one of a two-part book! Note also that the cluster text style is not reflowable and that you need a screen where you can read a line length of 95 characters (i.e. narrow screens are inappropriate).

Digital Phenomenology is a report on the philosophical theory of everything. From the first principle, digital philosophy and post-Keynesian economics are proved. The report is technical and aimed toward philosophers, mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, economists, and political scientists.
