Speak Data - Giorgia Lupi, Phillip Cox

This is no ordinary data science book. Speak Data is the first pop nonfiction book to explore the definition of data and its impacts on our daily lives. Insightful ideas and colorful data illustrations by award-winning information designer Giorgia Lupi guide you from one observation and revelation to the next. Data is almost anything, because almost anything can get recorded. But it’s kind of a magical thing—potentially one of the most powerful things humans have ever done. —James Clear, author of Atomic Habits Today we are told that data is everywhere, from the smartphones in our pockets to the satellites in space. But what is data, really? What role does it play in our lives? And why should anyone care? Through inspiring illustrations and a fresh, accessible approach, Speak Data invites us to see data differently—not just as numbers on a screen or tick marks in a chart, but as a language to help us better understand each other and the world around us. Seventeen thought-provoking conversations with leaders in business, tech, medicine, psychology, health, art, and more explore the human side of data, unpacking its powerful ability to divulge patterns, tell stories, stir emotion, and illuminate complexity. While often stereotyped as abstract or intimidating, here data is revealed as something far different: personal, nuanced, and above all, human made. Featuring: Tech pioneer John Maeda on the value of data visualization during global emergencies. Marketing legend Seth Godin on how to use data to get people to really care about climate change. Museum curator Paola Antonelli on whether data is art. Atomic Habits author James Clear on the ways data can (and can’t) describe human identity. AI data artist Refik Anadol on how big datasets can dream. And many more. In this uniquely interdisciplinary study, authors Giorgia Lupi and Phillip Cox present data as a vocabulary that anyone can use and that anyone can understand. If we learn to truly “speak data,” we can open up new worlds of meaning for ourselves and everything around us.ESTABLISHED AUTHORITY: Giorgia Lupi is an award-winning information designer whose work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. She has twice been named to the Wallpaper* USA 400 list of the people shaping creative America and recently became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Art and a National Geographic explorer. A visual OpEd she published in the New York Times in 2023 was a stunning reflection on her experience of long Covid, and her TED Talk on her humanistic approach to data has more than one million views. Her belief is that data has the capacity to make us all more human—advancing our intelligence, engagement, and delight. KALEIDESCOPE OF PERSPECTIVES: Five chapters tackle human-centered topics of data and identity, communications, health, technology, and creativity, exploring what data is today and what it might mean for our collective future. The scientists, artists, writers, researchers, and activists interviewed include James Clear, Adam Grant, Andy Marra, Seth Godin, Bernadette Woods Placky, Nico Muhly, Kate Crawford, and Sougwen Chung.Perfect for: Anyone interested in data science and data visualization Graphic design students and professionals Educators and librarians seeking an instructive and accessible resource on data Readers of modern culture and popular science books Fans of Giorgia Lupi’s artwork, TED Talk, and books, including Dear Data and Observe, Collect, Draw!

Standing up in front of the profession for whom he is a ⠘mentally ill person⠙ suffering from ⠘gender dysphoria⠙, Preciado draws inspiration in his lecture from Kafka⠙s ⠘A Report to an Academy⠙, in which a monkey tells an assembly of scientists that human subjectivity is a cage comparable to one made of metal bars. Demonstrating the discipline⠙s complicity with the ideology of sex, gender and sexual difference dating back to the colonial era, Preciado was heckled and booed and unable to finish. The lecture, filmed on smartphones, ended up published online, where fragments were transcribed, translated and published with no regard for exactitude.

How to Raise an Antiracist - Ibram X. Kendi

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that every parent, caregiver, and teacher needs to raise the next generation of antiracist thinkers, from the author of How to Be an Antiracist and recipient of the MacArthur “Genius” Grant. “Kendi’s latest . . . combines his personal experience as a parent with his scholarly expertise in showing how racism affects every step of a child’s life. . . . Like all his books, this one is accessible to everyone regardless of race or class.”—Los Angeles Times (Book Club Pick)ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugarThe tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents, educators, and other caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research and experience changed his mind, and he realized that raising his child to be antiracist would actually protect his child, and preserve her innocence and joy. He realized that teaching students about the reality of racism and the myth of race provides a protective education in our diverse and unequal world. He realized that building antiracist societies safeguards all children from the harms of racism. Following the accessible genre of his internationally bestselling How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi combines a century of scientific research with a vulnerable and compelling personal narrative of his own journey as a parent and as a child in school. The chapters follow the stages of child development from pregnancy to toddler to schoolkid to teenager. It is never too early or late to start raising young people to be antiracist.

This book celebrates the importance of talk in becoming and growing as a writer: talk to share ideas; talk to analyse text; talk to co-construct writing; and to talk to evaluate writing. Throughout the book constantly underlines the importance of talk for learning and the many creative and rich ways talk can be used to help young writers internalise the rhythms and patterns of text. Full of practical ideas and activities, the teaching combines being creative and being critical in a wholly integrated way. An invaluable resource for primary school teachers! Debra Myhill, Professor of Education at the University of Exeter, UK The teaching of reading has always taken priority in policy and practice in literacy. Pie Corbett and Julia Strong have produced a very welcome counterweight to that dominance in their Talk for Writing Across the Curriculum. It is so refreshing to see suggestions for teaching to bring elements of language together, especially when done in such an entertaining and engaging way as this. This new edition makes a classic even better. David Wray, Emeritus Professor, University of Warwick, UK This latest update of Pie and Julia s best-selling book reflects changes in the curriculum, strengthening the T4W approach, using cold and hot tasks, showing new worked examples of how to apply T4W to each non-fiction type and placing formative assessment at the heart of the process. It is exciting to see how all the best ideas and findings in education are converging, evidenced in this latest up to the minute excellent publication. Shirley Clarke, Formative Assessment Expert
