Based on the research that race, gender, consent, and body positivity should be discussed with toddlers on up, this read-aloud series offers adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way. Now available as a hardcover picture book! Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven picture book offers clear, concrete language and beautiful imagery that young children can grasp and adults can leverage for further discussion. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin.

From the world's leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest--a moving, inspiring journey of discovery of how, as a child in love with the woods, the author came to believe that trees communicate with one another and the story of how she proved her seemingly laughable theory, uncovering their secrets as well, and in the process became a world-renowned scientist. Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; she's been compared to Rachel Carson, hailed as a scientist who conveys complex, technical ideas in a way that is both dazzling and profound. Her work has influenced filmmakers (the Tree of Souls of James Cameron's Avatar) and her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. Now, in her first book, Simard brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truth about trees--not simply the source of timber or pulp, but a co

Benito Mussolini has persistently been described as an 'actor' – and also as a master of illusions. In her vividly narrated account of the Italian dictator's relationship with the theatre, Patricia Gaborik discards any metaphorical notions of Il Duce as a performer and instead tells the story of his life as literal spectator, critic, impresario, dramatist and censor of the stage. Discussing the ways in which the autarch's personal tastes and convictions shaped, in fascist Italy, theatrical programming, she explores Mussolini's most significant dramatic influences, his association with important figures such as Luigi Pirandello, Gabriele D'Annunzio and George Bernard Shaw, his oversight of stage censorship, and his forays into playwriting. By focusing on its subject's manoeuvres in the theatre, and manipulation of theatrical ideas, this consistently illuminating book transforms our understandings of fascism as a whole. It will have strong appeal to readers in both theatre studies and mo

History will mark the twenty-first century as the dawn of the age of precise genetic manipulation. Breakthroughs in genome editing are poised to enable humankind to fundamentally transform life on Earth. Those familiar with genome editing understand its potential to revolutionize civilization in ways that surpass the impact of the discovery of electricity and the development of gunpowder, the atomic bomb, or the Internet. Significant questions regarding how society should promote or hinder genome editing loom large in the horizon. And it is up to humans to decide the fate of this powerful technology. Rewriting Nature is a compelling, thought-provoking interdisciplinary exploration of the law, science, and policy of genome editing. The book guides readers through complex legal, scientific, ethical, political, economic, and social issues concerning this emerging technology, and challenges the conventional false dichotomy often associated with science and law, which contributes to a growi

Winner of best smart thinking book 2022 (Business Book Awards)Guardian best books of 2021'Original, thought-provoking and a joy to read' Tim Harford'Highly recommended. It's not easy to become (more of) a scout, but it's hard not to be inspired by this book' Rutger BregmanWhen it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a 'soldier' mindset.From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalising in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe - and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often we should train ourselves to think more like a scout. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other.It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows

The metaphysics of ordinary objects is an increasingly vibrant field of study for philosophers. This volume gathers insights from a number of leading authors, who together tackle the central issues in contemporary debates about the subject. Their essays engage with topics including composition, persistence, perception, categories, images, artifacts, truthmakers, metaontology, and the relationship between the manifest and scientific images. Exploring the nature of everyday things, the contributors situate their arguments and the latest research against the background of the field's development. Moreover, many essays propose new ideas and approaches, looking ahead to the future of the metaphysical study of ordinary objects. Featuring numerous clearly explained examples and with thoughtful links drawn to other, related disciplines such as pragmatism, this wide-ranging volume fills a major gap in the literature and will be important for scholars working in metaphysics.

A paperback edition of the classic guide for new therapists seeing clients for the first time.Veteran therapist and mental health writer Louis Cozolino’s classic text contains all of the things he wished someone had told him during the first weeks and months of his clinical training. Now available in paperback, the book includes guidance about working with your clients, such as how to cope with silence, handle their direct questions, and get them to talk less and say more.

It balances the process of developing therapeutic skills while also taking an inner journey―to becoming the professional, and person, you hope to be.

A Profile of Hong Kong provides a detailed history of colonialism in Hong Kong that still reverberates today. Despite this tumultuous history, there are many things that make Hong Kong special and worth fighting for. For over 100 years, the Hong Kong people have been fighting for liberty despite the constant oppression from other countries. Bruce Herschensohn shows how years of riots and protests demonstrate the resilience of the Hong Kong people and the determination to make their country belong to them. With compelling firsthand accounts, A Profile of Hong Kong explores the history of this political entity from a 99-year treaty to the handover to the recent powerful protests for liberty. Herschensohn emphasizes the irony of the Chinese government coming to Hong Kong, the majority of whose people had fled from that same government, and how these very people are once again facing oppression from this repressive government. Herschensohn includes through descriptions of the changes for H

隨著雲端運算、萬物聯網與5G的快速發展，未來IT、OT、CT結合AI分析機制，應用在各種場域（製造、金融、醫療、零售、交通、能源等）的資通安全產品暨服務，為資通安全產業開創出值得期待的未來與龐大商機。但網路的無所不在同樣也讓資通安全風險急速擴大，亦成為萬物聯網與各種智慧應用普及發展的主要障礙。 智慧城市（Smart City）是近年來各國積極布局未來的發展重點及方向，從物聯網（Internet of Things, IoT）蓬勃發展後，智慧城市下各項垂直領域的智慧化服務逐漸受到關注，如：智慧製造、智慧交通、智慧零售、智慧安控、智慧家庭、智慧能源等。智慧物聯網（Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things, AIoT）讓智慧化服務進化成實至名歸的智慧應用，然而智慧化服務的營運必然伴隨資訊安全的議題。 資通安全的產品暨服務受到不同國家與區域在資安市場、法規、軍事科技，以及資訊科技產業影響，因此各國的產業發展程度各不相同，美國的政府與企業對於資通安全議題相對重視，也促成美國資安產業的蓬勃發展，全球知名的雲端資安大廠多數集中在美國，包含Microsoft、Amazon Web Services、IBM Security、Palo Alto Networks、Splunk等業者。2020年由於受到疫情的影響，美國資安業者也分別推出各自的資安因應解決方案，以協助業者在疫情期間能夠在足夠的資安防護之下維持營運。 5G通訊技術方面，臺灣資通訊產業以硬體製造並行銷全世界市場而聞名於世，因此在發展5G的過程中，產業鏈中的基地台設備、局端設備，以及網路設備至關重要，其次包括晶片廠商，電信營運商、軟體整合及大數據、用戶端設備及手機等產業之業者，亦在5G產業鏈中扮演不可或缺的角色。然而正當臺灣廠商摩拳擦掌、準備快速搶進市場之際，過去較少被關切的資安問題，已然成為各國政府所關注的重點，所以要在未來的5G市場搶得先機，勢必就得先明瞭主要國家對於5G的相關規範。 企業資安應用方面，近年來智慧科技發展迅速，各行各業透過新興智慧科技及數位服務，解決傳統人力、管理效率等經營上的問題已蔚為趨勢，中小企業更紛紛透過人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence, AI）、物聯網（Internet of Things, IoT）、數位服務平台強化自身競爭優

This Element provides an introduction to the hiddenness argument, as presented by John Schellenberg, and its up-to-date discussion in a comprehensible way. It concludes with a brief assessment of where things stand, from the author's point of view, and why divine hiddenness should not reduce a reflective theist's confidence in theism.
