‘Inferior is more than just a book. It’s a battle cry – and right now, it’s having a galvanising effect on its core fanbase’ ObserverAre women more nurturing than men?Are men more promiscuous than women?Are males the naturally dominant sex?And can science give us an impartial answer to these questions?Taking us on an eye-opening journey through science, Inferior challenges our preconceptions about men and women, investigating the ferocious gender wars that burn in biology, psychology and anthropology. Angela Saini revisits the landmark experiments that have informed our understanding, lays bare the problem of bias in research, and speaks to the scientists finally exploring the truth about the female sex.The result is an enlightening and deeply empowering account of women’s minds, bodies and evolutionary history. Interrogating what these revelations mean for us as individuals and as a society, Inferior unveils a fresh view of science in which women are included, rather than excluded.

Relacionar la informaci?n con los ciudadanos y la ciudadan?a es fundamental tanto en nuestro entorno local como global, considerando que la categor?a de ciudadano se refiere a un hombre o una mujer que pertenece a un grupo social estructurado pol?ticamente, lo que le permite participar en asuntos econ?micos, sociales o de gobierno, entre otros, de su Estado o de su pa?s, y para lograrlo de forma asertiva necesitamos informarnos y tener los conocimientos requeridos.Informaci?n, participaci?n ciudadana y entre palabra e imagen es un esfuerzo en ese sentido, pues re?ne las ideas de m?s de diez acad?micos nacionales e internacionales que son coordinados por la doctora Estela Morales para pensar c?mo es que la ciudadan?a puede empoderarse por medio de la informaci?n.

“What is colour?”, “What is the precise meaning of the statement ‘the stock exchange closes at a 5% drop this evening’?”, “How are TV viewers defined?”, or “How can images produce meaning?” Such everyday questions are examined in this book. To make our analysis intuitive and understandable, numerous concrete examples illustrate our theoretical framework and concepts. The examples include gaming, fictional skits in leisure entertainment, and enigmas. The golden thread running through the text revisits the informational process and places the datum as its pivot. The epistemological perspective of our novel approach is that of “radical relativity”. This is based on the precept that a perceptual trace carries with it the spectrum of the process that has engendered it. Given this, the informational tracking endeavour tracks the meaning-making process, notably through interpretive scaffoldings that leads to plausible realities.

This is the first in-depth study of the relationship between the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and its own members. Drawing on years of participant observation, extensive interviews, previously inaccessible organizational documents, and dozens of memoirs and writings, the book provides an intimate portrayal of the recruitment and socialization of Brothers, the evolution of their intricate social networks, and the construction of the peculiar ideology that shapes their everyday practices. Drawing on his original research, Kandil reinterprets the Brotherhood’s slow rise and rapid downfall from power in Egypt, and compares it to the Islamist subsidiaries it created and the varieties it inspired around the world. This timely book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the politics of the Middle East and to anyone who wants to understand the dramatic events unfolding in Egypt and elsewhere in the wake of the Arab uprisings.

Instagram is at the heart of global digital culture, having made selfies, filters and square frames an inescapable part of everyday life since it was launched in 2010.

In the first book-length examination of Instagram, Tama Leaver, Tim Highfield and Crystal Abidin trace how this quintessential mobile photography app has developed as a platform and a culture. They consider aspects such as the new visual social media aesthetics, the rise of Influencers and new visual economies, and the complex politics of the platform as well as examining how Instagram's users change their use of the platform over time and respond to evolving features. The book highlights the different ways Instagram is used by subcultural groups around the world, and how museums, restaurants and public spaces are striving to be 'Insta-worthy'. Far from just capturing milestones and moments, the authors argue that Instagram has altered the ways people communicate and share, while also creating new approaches to marketing, advertising, politics and the design of spaces and venues.

Rich with grounded examples from across the world, from birth pictures to selfies at funerals, Instagram is essential reading for students and scholars of media and communication.

Para confeccionar este libro se reuni? un grupo de amigos especialistas en alguna de las ramas de las artes esc?nicas (teatro, improvisaci?n, mon?logos, danza, etc?tera) y que tienen un profundo inter?s por las ciencias. Actores, directores, escritores, bailarines, monologuistas, entre otros, escribieron sus propias Instrucciones para hacer de la ciencia un drama (?o una comedia!). Desde el principio, la intenci?n era romper con las condiciones de una publicaci?n acad?mica, y por eso la invitaci?n fue a escribir una historia in?dita, que los autores no hubieran podido contar en ning?n otro medio, y tambi?n evitar la censura, porque, para fines educativos, las experiencias «fracasadas» fueron altamente valoradas. El resultado es una divertida y variopinta colecci?n de historias que conversan unas con otras y se completan, que invitan a una exploraci?n m?s honda de las relaciones entre las artes esc?nicas y las ciencias. Se enuncian preguntas como: ?cu?l es la «mejor» manera en la que las artes y las ciencias pueden ponerse en relaci?n para construir juntos una nueva forma de conocimiento que las enriquezca a las dos? ?C?mo evitar la instrumentalizaci?n de uno de los campos del conocimiento por el otro? ?De qu? hablamos cuando hablamos de teatro-ciencia? Este libro no contiene «la respuesta correcta», pero s? muchas inolvidables exploraciones.

Lo que hoy entendemos por inteligencia artificial est? asociado a la planificaci?n, la comprensi?n del lenguaje, el reconocimiento de objetos y sonidos, la resoluci?n de problemas. Se trata de nuevos algoritmos que conducir?an al aprendizaje acumulativo, emulando de esta manera el aprendizaje a trav?s de la experiencia. En la ?ltima d?cada hemos sido testigos del r?pido progreso de la inteligencia artificial en diversos campos determinantes del quehacer humano. Tal como ocurre con cualquier tecnolog?a, la IA viene acompa?ada de enormes desaf?os y potenciales riesgos para la sociedad, por lo que es imperioso contar con conocimiento relevante que promueva el accionar para reducir o evitar los posibles efectos negativos. Numerosas iniciativas a nivel global dan cuenta de los esfuerzos por establecer formas de gobernanza de la IA para reducir sus potenciales impactos negativos y fortalecer los beneficios que puede brindar a la sociedad en campos como el futuro del trabajo, los sistemas de transporte aut?nomos, la salud, la educaci?n, las finanzas, el comercio, entre otros. Sin duda son muchas las oportunidades que estas tecnolog?as pueden ofrecer, pero sabemos que existe un riesgo real de que, sin una intervenci?n cuidadosa, la IA pueda exacerbar los desequilibrios estructurales, econ?micos, sociales y pol?ticos, y reforzar a?n m?s las desigualdades basadas en diferentes variables demogr?ficas (incluyendo etnicidad, raza, g?nero, identidad sexual y de g?nero, religi?n, nacionalidad, edad y nivel educativo o socioecon?mico) y as? impactar negativamente las vidas de muchos j?venes en el mundo, y en el caso particular que nos ocupa, de la juventud latinoamericana. Es por esto tambi?n que los estudios en la regi?n adquieren suma relevancia, ya que estas tecnolog?as son creadas principalmente en pa?ses como Estados Unidos y China, lo que extiende las brechas no s?lo en lo referente al acceso, sino en c?mo estos sistemas est?n siendo dise?ados, pensados y su consecuente impacto.

El trabajo de los conductores de taxi va m?s all? de transportar individuos de un lugar a otro. En medio de los recorridos por la ciudad, los conductores de taxi construyen interacciones entre s?, con otros agentes sociales, con el taxi, con el espacio y con el tiempo; es en estas interacciones donde forman los significados sobre el trabajo de conducir taxi. En esta investigaci?n se retoma la teor?a del interaccionismo simb?lico —propuesto por Herbert Blumer— para analizar la construcci?n de significados sociales en la actividad de los conductores de taxi en Bogot?, Colombia. Este an?lisis se complementa con las teor?as del trabajo no cl?sico (De la Garza) y de redes sociales (Lomnitz).

The concept of intersectionality has become a central topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another? 
 
In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. Analyzing the emergence, growth, and contours of the concept of intersectionality, the authors also consider its global reach through an array of new topics such as the rise of far-right populism, reproductive justice, climate change, and digital environments and cultures. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality’s potential for understanding complex architecture of social and economic inequalities and bringing about social justice-oriented change.
 
Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates, and new directions in this field.

Published in the early 1950s, C. S. Lewis's seven Chronicles of Narnia were proclaimed instant children's classics and have been hailed in The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature as «the most sustained achievement in fantasy for children by a 20th-century author.» But how could Lewis (a formidable critic, scholar, and Christian apologist)conjure up the kind of adventures in which generations of children (and adults) take such delight? In this engaging and insightful book, C. S. Lewis expert David C. Downing invites readers to join his vivid exploration of the Chronicles of Narnia, offering a detailed look at the enchanting stories themselves and also focusing on the extraordinary intellect and imagination of the man behind the Wardrobe. Downing presents each Narnia book as its own little wardrobe – each tale an opportunity to discover a visionary world of bustling vitality, sparkling beauty, and spiritual clarity. And Downing's examination of C. S. Lewis's personal life shows how the content of these classic children's books reflects Lewis's love of wonder and story, his affection for animals and homespun things, his shrewd observations about human nature, along with his vast reading, robust humor, theological speculations, medieval scholarship, and arcane linguistic jokes. A fun glossary of odd and invented words will allow readers to speak with Narnian flair, regaling friends and family with unusual words like cantrips, poltoonery, hastilude, and skirling. A masterful work that will appeal to both new and seasoned fans of Narnia, Into the Wardrobe offers a journey beyond Narnia's deceptively simple surface and into its richly textured and unexpected depths.

This introductory textbook offers a concise and lucid account of the main developments in contemporary feminist thinking, and demonstrates the centrality of feminist thought to all areas of intellectual enquiry. In a wide-ranging discussion, Evans argues that most accounts of the world since the Enlightenment have been constructed in terms of a distinction between the public and the private which excluded women. Using both historical and more recent examples, she examines the breadth and complexity of feminist thinking, focusing on key themes such as the body, representation, engendering knowledge, and the relationship between women and the state. Evans argues that feminist thought seeks less to add to existing theory than to re-theorize the social and symbolic worlds; no contemporary account of these worlds, she suggests, is complete without a discussion of the implications of gender difference. This book offers a clear and coherent guide to contemporary feminism for students of women's studies, gender studies, sociology, social theory and literary theory.

This book is structured in two parts: the first four chapters serve as a general introduction to Bayesian statistics with a clear emphasis on parametric estimation and the following four chapters stress statistical models of dependence with a focus of copulas. A review of the main concepts is discussed along with the basics of Bayesian statistics including prior information and experimental data, prior and posterior distributions, with an emphasis on Bayesian parametric estimation. The basic mathematical background of both Markov chains and Monte Carlo integration and simulation is also provided. The authors discuss statistical models of dependence with a focus on copulas and present a brief survey of pre-copula dependence models. The main definitions and notations of copula models are summarized followed by discussions of real-world cases that address particular risk management problems. In addition, this book includes: • Practical examples of copulas in use including within the Basel Accord II documents that regulate the world banking system as well as examples of Bayesian methods within current FDA recommendations • Step-by-step procedures of multivariate data analysis and copula modeling, allowing readers to gain insight for their own applied research and studies • Separate reference lists within each chapter and end-of-the-chapter exercises within Chapters 2 through 8 • A companion website containing appendices: data files and demo files in Microsoft® Office Excel®, basic code in R, and selected exercise solutions Introduction to Bayesian Estimation and Copula Models of Dependence is a reference and resource for statisticians who need to learn formal Bayesian analysis as well as professionals within analytical and risk management departments of banks and insurance companies who are involved in quantitative analysis and forecasting.
