In this book the authors aim to endow the reader with an operational, conceptual, and methodological understanding of the discrete mathematics that can be used to study, understand, and perform computing. They want the reader to understand the elements of computing, rather than just know them. The basic topics are presented in a way that encourages readers to develop their personal way of thinking about mathematics. Many topics are developed at several levels, in a single voice, with sample applications from within the world of computing. Extensive historical and cultural asides emphasize the human side of mathematics and mathematicians.By means of lessons and exercises on "doing" mathematics, the book prepares interested readers to develop new concepts and invent new techniques and technologies that will enhance all aspects of computing. The book will be of value to students, scientists, and engineers engaged in the design and use of computing systems, and to scholars and practitioners beyond these technical fields who want to learn and apply novel computational ideas.

Down-to-earth wisdom on how to live a life of authenticity and spiritual integrity, from one of the West’s most respected teachers of vipassana meditation.How does dharma wisdom show up in our lives every day? This collection of teachings by the beloved Insight Meditation teacher Larry Rosenberg offers clear, down-to-earth guidance on learning how to live a life informed by Buddhism—through questioning, reflective observation, and self-understanding. Rosenberg is known for presenting the essence of the Buddhism in a way that is unvarnished, utterly accessible, and that resonates with a wide audience. Here he unpacks—with his signature engaging and iconoclastic style—such topics as meditation, silence, use of the breath, self-knowing, working with strong emotions, intimacy, illness and grief, among others.   There are few teachers who so epitomize the idea of “spiritual friend” in the way that Larry Rosenberg does. His teachings give a clear sense that dharma is very much a part of everyday life. This book is also informed by what Rosenberg considers his deeper and more immediate understanding of dharma that has come in recent years—a period marked in his own life by illness and disability—and in the life of the planet by a deadly pandemic, war, an ...

An invigorating work that identifies obstructions to transformative change in higher education and offers paths to break through. In “Whatever It Is, I’m Against It,” president emeritus of Macalester College Brian Rosenberg draws on decades of higher education experience to expose the entrenched structures, practices, and cultures that inhibit meaningful postsecondary reform, even as institutions face serious challenges to their financial and educational models. A lively insider’s account, the book pinpoints factors that hinder the ability of U.S. colleges and universities to be creative and entrepreneurial amid calls to improve affordability, access, and equity for students. Through pithy personal stories of divisive town hall meetings, multiyear college governance battles, and attempts at curricular reform, Rosenberg illustrates internal and external dynamics that impede institutional evolution. Pressures such as declining enrollment, escalating costs, and an oversupply of PhDs in academia have long signaled a grave need for reform within a profession that, as Rosenberg ruefully acknowledges, lacks organizational flexibility, depends greatly on reputation and ranking, and retains traditions, from the academic calendar to grading systems, that have remained essentially the same for decades. Rosenberg looks outside the U.S. system to find possible antidotes in innovative higher education models such as student-centered and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Nenásilná komunikace zná dva koncepty moci: moc nad někým a moc s někým. Moc nad někým má ten, kdo druhé kritizuje, obviňuje, zahanbuje, odměňuje či trestá a podobně. Moc s někým má člověk, který zná a uznává svoje hodnoty a potřeby i hodnoty a potřeby druhých lidí, a ti mu v důsledku toho přisuzují pozici moci, protože věří, že jim pomůže v naplňování jejich potřeb. Základem knihy je seminář, který měl v Itálii před lety tvůrce metody Marshall Rosenberg ve spolupráci s Vilmou Costetti, jež byla první trenérkou nenásilné komunikace v Itálii. Formou rozhovoru s účastníky semináře Rosenberg rozebírá různé kontexty moci, např. politiku, podnikání, školu nebo rodinu. Zabývá se i mocí empatie a jejím vlivem na lidské zdraví. Kniha nám jednoduchým jazykem ukazuje, jakým způsobem si teoreticky i prakticky osvojit moc, jejíž síla spočívá v tom, že jednáme v souladu a společně s druhými. Marshall Rosenberg byl americký psycholog, mediátor, autor a učitel, který vytvořil metodu nenásilné komunikace, tj. proces, který podporuje partnerství a pomáhá řešit konflikty mezi lidmi, ve vztazích, a v komunitách.

V každé situaci může člověk tím, jak mluví (k ostatním, ale i k sobě ve svých myšlenkách), buď podporovat pokoj, porozumění a mír, nebo násilí. Rosenberg ukazuje, jak jazyk a komunikace v tomto smyslu fungují a učí, jak redukovat bolest a násilí, které z nich mohou bezděčně vycházet, a naopak léčit zranění, budovat vnitřní pokoj a lásku. Jeho cílem je rozvíjet vnitřní vědomí míru, které může být zakořeněno v jazyce, který denně užíváme. Rosenbergova kniha není návodem, jak vést nenásilnou komunikaci, ale spíše ilustrací toho, jak funguje. Je plná inspirativních příkladů a příběhů ze světa mezilidských vztahů, které vycházejí z autorovy více než čtyřicetileté zkušenosti. Nabízí mnohem širší a hlubší pohled na problém komunikace, který se mění v jistý druh spirituality – výzvy k nenásilnému chování jak vůči sobě, tak okolí. Marshall B. Rosenberg byl mezinárodně uznávaný odborník na komunikaci, zakladatel Centra pro Nenásilnou komunikaci a mediátor. V Portále vyšla jeho velmi úspěšná kniha Nenásilná komunikace.

Rosenberg v denících věnuje pozornost aktuálnímu dění a otevřeně prezentuje své úvahy o nacionálněsocialistickém "světovém názoru", jehož byl horlivým propagátorem, o boji proti křesťanství, o nadřazenosti germánské rasy. V souvislosti se svým jmenováním "ministrem pro Východ" se zabývá způsoby, jak ovládnout "východní národy", "židobolševismem" a "řešením židovské otázky".

Jeho zájem ho dovedl až k doktorátu z klinické psychologie, který získal v roce 1961 na Univerzitě ve Wisconsinu, kde studoval pod vedením Carla R. Rogerse. Další životní zkušenosti a studium srovnávací religionistiky ho motivovaly k rozvíjení principu nenásilné komunikace. Desítky let pracoval ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Čeká vás nepříjemné setkání se šéfem. Právě vám volala učitelka, aby si postěžovala na vaše dospívající dítě. Je večer a pohádali jste se s partnerem. Co uděláte?Všichni se čas od času ocitáme v podobných situacích a až příliš často se uchylujeme ke starým neúčinným vzorcům chování – obhajujeme svoji potřebu mít pravdu, odmítáme opravdu naslouchat, kvůli hněvu nebo frustraci říkáme kruté věci. Jenže lze to i jinak, a právě pro takové situace vytvořil Marshall Rosenberg svou slavnou nenásilnou komunikaci. Kniha je vlastně souborem kratších autorových textů a pokrývá tak široku škálu témat od řešení konfliktů přes práci s hněvem, s duchovností či s láskou a vztahy až po výchovu dětí. Díky mnoha přepisům rozhovorů čtenář uvidí, jak metoda nenásilné komunikace funguje v praxi.Marshall Rosenberg byl americký psycholog, mediátor, autor a učitel, který vytvořil metodu nenásilné komunikace, tj. proces, který podporuje partnerství a pomáhá řešit konflikty ve vztazích a v komunitách.

Audiokniha: Klíč k tomu, jak řešit spory ne prostřednictvím síly, ale s porozuměním. Psycholog Marshall B. Rosenberg vypracoval metodu nenásilné komunikace, již lze použít nejen v blízkých vztazích, ale také ve výchově, vyjednávání či politických konfliktech. Americký psycholog Marshall B. Rosenberg vypracoval v šedesátých letech minulého století metodu nenásilné komunikace. Při jejím objasňování vychází z toho, co je jejím opakem. Je to například moralizující posuzování, které naznačuje pochybení na straně lidí, kteří nejednají v souladu s našimi hodnotami. Je to i klasifikování a souzení druhých. A je to i srovnávání se s jinými lidmi, které je podle psychologa Greenburga tou nejzaručenější cestou, jak se cítit mizerně. Rosenbergova metoda je založena na naslouchání sobě i partnerovi, ochotě vnímat potřeby a pocity vlastní i druhého. Tato metoda pomáhá překonávat navyklé vzorce v jednání s ostatními, napomáhá k řešení konfliktů a rozvíjí vztahy založené na úctě a spolupráci.

Mirta Rosenberg (1951-2019) is a key poet of the ’80s generation in Argentina. In Interior Landscape, Rosenberg explores questions of life and death, of changes experienced in one’s body through time and the resulting changes in perspective.These poems contemplate the dislocation of the self, posing questions about the relationship between subjectivity, perception, the body, and memory. Rosenberg’s voice is at once autobiographical and critical, displaying the interior landscapes of its experience as well as the complex ways that language forms a fundamental part of that experience. Originally published in Spanish in Argentina in 2012, Interior Landscape is the first book-length translation of Rosenberg’s poetry to be published in English.

The best-selling book on the topic—now in 15 languages. This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory—one of the most important recent developments in human neurobiology. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and Rolfer, Stanley Rosenberg explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms—from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain—indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve. Through a series of easy self-help exercises, the book illustrates the simple ways we can regulate the vagus nerve in order to initiate deep relaxation, improve sleep, and recover from injury and trauma. Additionally, by exploring the link between a well-regulated vagus nerve and social functioning, Rosenberg’s findings and methods offer new hope that by improving social behavior it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms at the core of many cases of autism spectrum disorders. Useful for psychotherapists, doctors, bodyworkers, and caregivers, as well as anyone who experiences the symptoms of chronic stress and depression, this book ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Empire of Civil Society rejects outright the goal of theorising geopolitical systems in isolation from wider social structures. In a series of case studies – including Classical Greece, Renaissance Italy and the Portuguese and Spanish empires – Justin Rosenberg shows how his historical-materialist analysis is a surer guide to understanding geopolitical systems than the supposedly timeless verities of realism. Rosenberg demonstrates that the distinctive properties of the sovereign-state system are best understood as corresponding to the framework of capitalist society. In this light, realism emerges as incapable of explaining what it has always insisted is the central feature of the interstate order – the balance of power.Winner of the 1994 Deutscher Memorial Prize

For more than two thousand years a familiarity with mathematics has been regarded as an indispensable part of the intellectual equipment of every cultured person. Today, unfortunately, the traditional place of mathematics in education is in grave danger. The teaching and learning of mathematics has degenerated into the realm of rote memorization, the outcome of which leads to satisfactory formal ability but does not lead to real understanding or to greater intellectual independence. This new edition of Richard Courant''s and Herbert Robbins''s classic work seeks to address this problem. Its goal is to put the meaning back into mathematics. Written for beginners and scholars, for students and teachers, for philosophers and engineers, What is Mathematics?, Second Edition is a sparkling collection of mathematical gems that offers an entertaining and accessible portrait of the mathematical world.
