Understanding Social Movements

Understanding Social Movements

Steven M. Buechler

Paradigm
2011
sidottu
In thirteen succinct chapters, Buechler traces movement theories from the classical era of sociology to the most recent examples of transnational activism. He identifies the socio-historical context, central concepts, and guiding logic of diverse movement theories, with emphasis on: Comparisons of Marx and Lenin; Weber and Michels; and Durkheim and LeBon The Chicago School of the inter-war period The political-sociological approaches of the 1950s The varieties of strain and breakdown theories at the dawn of the 1960s Major paradigm shifts caused by the cascade of 1960s social movements Vivid examples of movements worldwide and coverage of all major theorists Critiques, debates, and proposed syntheses dominating the turn of the 21st century Recent trends (such as cyberactivism and transnational movements) and their theoretical implications"

Sensing and Filtering

Sensing and Filtering

Steven M. LaValle

now publishers Inc
2012
nidottu
Where do robots get their information? For a given task, what information is actually necessary? What is even meant by ""information""? These questions lie at the heart of robotics and fall under the realm of sensing and filtering.In Sensing and Filtering, the author presents an unusual view of these subjects by characterizing the uncertainty due to the many-to-one mappings between the world and sensor readings. This is independent of noise-based uncertainty and reveals critical structure about the possible problems that can be solved using specific sensors. The set of all sensor models is arranged into a lattice that enables them to be compared for purposes of interchangeability.Filters, which combine sensor observations, are expressed in terms of information states (not information theory), a concept that was introduced in decision and control theory. Sensing and Filtering provides the reader with modeling tools and concepts for developing robotic systems that accomplish their tasks while carefully avoiding the reconstruction of unnecessary state information. This is in contrast to the approach usually taken in planning and control, which is to fully reconstruct and maintain the state at all times. The new approach may enable simple, robust, and inexpensive solutions to tasks such as navigation, topological mapping, coverage, patrolling, tracking, and pursuit-evasion.

Earthen Walls, Iron Men

Earthen Walls, Iron Men

Steven M. Mayeux

University of Tennessee Press
2015
nidottu
Earthen Walls, Iron Men tells the story of Fort DeRussy, Louisiana, a major Confederate fortification that defended the lower Red River in 1863-64 during the last stages of the Civil War. Long regarded as little more than a footnote by historians, the fort in fact played a critical role in the defense of the Red River region. The Red River Campaign was one of the Confederacy's last great triumphs of the war, and only the end of the conflict saved the reputations of Union leaders who had recently been so successful at Vicksburg. Fort DeRussy was the linchpin of the Confederates' tactical and strategic victory. Steven M. Mayeux does more than just tell the story of the fort from the military perspective; it goes deeper to closely examine the lives of the people that served in – and lived around – Fort DeRussy. Through a thorough examination of local documents, Mayeux has uncovered the fascinating stories that reveal for the first time what wartime life was like for those living in central Louisiana. In this book, the reader will meet soldiers and slaves, plantation owners and Jayhawkers, elderly women and newborn babies, all of whom played important roles in making the history of Fort DeRussy. Mayeux presents an unvarnished portrait of the life at the fort, devoid of any romanticized notions, but more accurately capturing the utter humanity of those who built it, defended it, attacked it, and lived around it. Earthen Walls, Iron Men intertwines the stories of naval battles and military actions with those human elements such as greed, theft, murder, and courage to create a vibrant, relevant history that will appeal to all who seek to know what real life was like during the Civil War.

The Power Vision Program to Improve Eyesight

The Power Vision Program to Improve Eyesight

Humanix Books

pokkari
GOOD VISION IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT!During the last few decades, an elite group of eye doctors known as behavioral optometrists have developed simple techniques known as vision therapy eye exercises, which make the eyes healthier and reduce or eliminate the need for corrective lenses. The Power Vision Program gives you the best of these techniques.The Power Vision Program gives your eyes a good basic workout. In contrast to physical exercises, however, eye exercises are not strenuous. They work by increasing the range and accuracy of the focusing system. Some of the exercises stimulate the flow of nutrients inside the eyes, making them healthier. Other exercises increase natural focusing power and reduce eyestrain from reading or working at a computer. It’s important to understand that the vast majority of people are born with normal eyes. Almost all young children have good vision. Almost all cases of poor vision begin with nothing more serious than a minor focusing problem. Perhaps distant objects become slightly blurred, or you have difficulty reading a menu. Nobody goes to bed with normal vision and wakes up with deformed eyeballs! Nearsightedness (myopia) is caused by watching TV too close, too much reading, or working at a computer. This increases the pressure inside the eyeball and makes it go out of shape. The aging process also causes poor vision (presbyopia) because the eye’s inner lens loses its flexibility and can’t focus properly.Fortunately, all common visual problems can be improved with the techniques you are about to learn. If your vision is not too bad, you can probably avoid or stop wearing glasses. If your vision is bad, you will probably still need them but you will be able to reduce your dependency on them.Follow these instructions and you should see the first signs of improvement within a week or so: STEP ONE: Skim through the entire Power Vision Program on your tablet or computer. Don’t spend more than a few minutes. All you need is a general overview of the material.STEP TWO: Print the entire Power Vision Program and put it in a binder. Read it a couple of times. Don’t be fazed by new words or worried that it’s too complicated. Just follow the instructions step-by-step and it will soon fall into place. STEP THREE: Read the instructions for Rolling, Blinking, and Detailing, and start doing them. These are your New Visual Habits. The goal is to do them during your daily activities. Develop the habit of periodically rolling your eyes, frequently blinking, and looking at small details. STEP FOUR: Print extra copies of the Biofeedback Charts and Reminder Cards. Put them in prominent locations in your home, office, and car.STEP FIVE: Set up a special place to do the exercises. You will need an area of blank wall with good lighting, and a table to put things on. STEP SIX: Do the Power Exercise Module. This will take about 15 minutes. Your goal is to do the Power Exercise Module at least once a day, preferably twice a day.STEP SEVEN: If you wear glasses and have a weaker pair, start wearing them immediately. Develop the habit of taking your glasses off whenever you don’t really need them, provided it’s safe to do so.The Power Vision Program will give you really fast results. Don’t wait or make excuses!

When Philosophers Were Kings

When Philosophers Were Kings

Steven M Best

Sunstone Press
2021

As the Confederacy celebrates its victory over Fort Sumter, Socrates Best and his wife, Ellen, are living in Northeast Texas where Socrates has been teaching school for five years. Educated in the philosophy of Plato and the religion of Knox, Socrates hopes to ignore the war and continue developing ruler guardians who will help make Texas great. But two former students, Buck Malneck and Billy Morse, seize this chance to put their former teacher to the test. Join the conflict or hang-those are their demands. Meanwhile, a thousand miles to the north stands Socrates' cousin Swift. Raised with Plato's Republican philosophies, but steeped in the passionate abolitionism of the Northern Methodists, Swift leaves law school to be part of the Second Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. Portage City explodes with joy as they send Swift's company off to war, but all the well wishing in the world could never prepare Swift for what awaits him at Bull Run. Amidst the revelry, Socrates' youngest brother, Ed, watches with bated breath. This crowd will one day cheer him, he decides, and everyone will know that he is finally a man. Fighting with the Army of the Cumberland across the Southeast, he will learn there is a far greater challenge in life than being a man-staying alive. This novel is based on the true story of a Wisconsin family caught up in the American Civil War, but it is also the story of the multidimensional human soul-spiritual, philosophical, and physical-and how it is affected by war. It is the story of man's ability to love, endure, survive, and find a meaningful purpose for life in a world turned upside down with hate.
