Street Data - Jamila Dugan, Shane Safir
Radically reimagine our ways of being, learning, and doing Education can be transformed if we eradicate our fixation on big data like standardized test scores as the supreme measure of equity and learning. Instead of the focus being on "fixing" and "filling" academic gaps, we must envision and rebuild the system from the student up—with classrooms, schools and systems built around students’ brilliance, cultural wealth, and intellectual potential. Street data reminds us that what is measurable is not the same as what is valuable and that data can be humanizing, liberatory and healing.  By breaking down street data fundamentals: what it is, how to gather it, and how it can complement other forms of data to guide a school or district’s equity journey, Safir and Dugan offer an actionable framework for school transformation. Written for educators and policymakers, this book · Offers fresh ideas and innovative tools to apply immediately · Provides an asset-based model to help educators look for what’s right in our students and communities instead of seeking what’s wrong · Explores a different application of data, from its capacity to help us diagnose root causes of inequity, to its potential to transform learning, and its power to reshape adult culture Now is the time to take an antiracist stance, interrogate our assumptions about knowledge, measurement, and what really matters when it comes to educating young people.

Podsvětí orientu - James S. Lee
Pozoruhodný příběh Jamese Lee, který od roku 1895 strávil 18 let sledováním všech potěšení a nebezpečí, které Dálný východ mohl nabídnout. Svět soumraku přístavů, čtvrtí červených luceren a drogových brlohů od Adenu po Kjóto. Na první pohled by se chtělo říci, že na celém autobiografickém příběhu z přelomu předminulého a minulého století jsou nejzajímavější omamné látky. Autor James S. Lee se jejich užívání věnoval systematicky a s vědeckým zájmem. Po první nezapomenutelné zkušenosti, kdy mu indický lékař píchne proti malárii dávku morfia, se dostaví bažení po čím dál silnějších zážitcích a brzy také první vystřízlivění - droga nejenže postupně jako by ztrácela na účinnosti, ale navíc způsobí svému uživateli úpornou zácpu. Indický lékař však zná řešení - proti potížím způsobeným morfiem předepíše kokain. Po přečtení knihy ale v čtenářově mysli pravděpodobně neutkví ani tak návod na postupnou odvykací drogovou kůru, ale spíše pestrý život viktoriánského dobrodruha, nadšeného konstruktéra a milovníka všeho mimořádného a podivuhodného, co život přináší, včetně různých druhů opojení. Ovšem přesvědčte se sami. Ostatně i James S. Lee jakoby se ve svém životě důsledně řídil heslem "kdo nevěří, ať tam běží". Právě tato zvídavost jej přivedla mimo jiné k toxikologickým objevům, nad nimiž, jsou-li skutečné, se dodnes tají dech.

Resisting Big Tech - Niels Niessen
How does Google Maps reorient our city travels? How do matching algorithms affect how we seek love? And how does artificial “intelligence†prompt how we think? Engaging these and similar questions, this open access book critiques Big Tech’s colonization of everyday life. Although #MeToo and Black Lives Matter would not have happened the way they did without so-called “social†media, these platforms are not designed for emancipation but to maximize data extraction. Inspired by the feminist rallying cry that “the personal is political,†Resisting Big Tech calls for a collective consciousness of how Big Tech’s increasingly personalized streams colonize our associations (how we wander in our bodyminds and how we cohere as groups). Articulating a degrowth perspective on Big Tech, the book argues the need to be much more vigilant for how the transhumanist ideology that drives corporations like Google, Meta, and OpenAI accelerates life, burning out people and the planet. Focusing on four domains of life—home, city, learning, love— Niels Niessen advocates for the de-Googling of life and the need to foster truly communal spaces, online but especially offline. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the European Research Council.

It''s a story of on-and-off screen romance told in hilarious and emotional detail, of casting choices that nearly changed everything (which even some of the actors didn''t know until now), of cast members bravely powering through personal tragedies, and when it came time to announce the 12th season would be its last, the complicated reasons why it was more difficult than anyone ever led on. Through hundreds of hours of interviews with the sitcom''s major players, Radloff dives into all this and much more. The book is the ultimate celebration of this once-in-a-generation show and a must-have for all fans.AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA USA TODAY BESTSELLERNAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2022 BY GLAMOUR"Talking with Jessica, I realized how easy it had been for me to kind of put all 12 years of my time on Big Bang Theory under one general umbrella, as it were.
