Deep Learning in a Disorienting World

Deep Learning in a Disorienting World

Jon F. Wergin

Cambridge University Press
2019
sidottu
Much has been written about the escalating intolerance of worldviews other than one's own. Reasoned arguments based on facts and data seem to have little impact in our increasingly post-truth culture dominated by social media, fake news, tribalism, and identity politics. Recent advances in the study of human cognition, however, offer insights on how to counter these troubling social trends. In this book, psychologist Jon F. Wergin calls upon recent research in learning theory, social psychology, politics, and the arts to show how a deep learning mindset can be developed in both oneself and others. Deep learning is an acceptance that our understanding of the world around us is only temporary and is subject to constant scrutiny. Someone who is committed to learning deeply does not simply react to experiences, but engages fully with that experience, knowing that the inevitable disquietude is what leads to efficacy in the world.

"All of life is struggle, of course, and Jon's deftly rendered mutants are struggling up one heck of a storm. Struggling with each other, struggling with nature, struggling to get out of their own fucking skin. It leaves a hell of a mess, with all of your favorite bodily fluids competing as signifiers." - David E. Williams, www.davidewilliams.com "Black and white drawings as potent, grotesque, and unyielding as the likes of S.Clay Wilson, or Mike Diana. Jon F.Allen dredges up demons, horrors, sex, murder, anxieties, and gallows humor born in the unseemly trenches of Catholicism, addiction, and observations of the decrepit, violent, bleak world around him"- Festus E.

Are they even real? Frank Buck may never escape the maelstrom of his own mind as Death gambles on the lives of all humanity, and the guinea pigs of bio-terror experiments trample his lawn." - J.F.A.

Cohomology Rings of Finite Groups

Cohomology Rings of Finite Groups

Jon F. Carlson; L. Townsley; Luís Valero-Elizondo

Group cohomology has a rich history that goes back a century or more. Its origins are rooted in investigations of group theory and num­ ber theory, and it grew into an integral component of algebraic topology. In the last thirty years, group cohomology has developed a powerful con­ nection with finite group representations. Unlike the early applications which were primarily concerned with cohomology in low degrees, the in­ teractions with representation theory involve cohomology rings and the geometry of spectra over these rings. It is this connection to represen­ tation theory that we take as our primary motivation for this book. The book consists of two separate pieces. Chronologically, the first part was the computer calculations of the mod-2 cohomology rings of the groups whose orders divide 64. The ideas and the programs for the calculations were developed over the last 10 years. Several new features were added over the course of that time. We had originally planned to include only a brief introduction to the calculations. However, we were persuaded to produce a more substantial text that would include in greater detail the concepts that are the subject of the calculations and are the source of some of the motivating conjectures for the com­ putations. We have gathered together many of the results and ideas that are the focus of the calculations from throughout the mathematical literature.

Readings in Communication Research Methods

Readings in Communication Research Methods

Jon F. Nussbaum

Cognella Academic Publishing
2012
sidottu
The readings in the anthology Readings in Communication Research Methods are written by communication researchers who share true stories of how they use particular research methods within their own research programs. The book helps students understand how researchers face the numerous challenges of conducting communication research, and how they produce knowledge that adds to our theoretical understanding of communication. Students get a real sense of the many decisions made by researchers who are attempting to design and conduct research that follows the ideal steps outlined in textbooks. The book begins with an introductory chapter that links theory to conceptualization and hypothesis development. The three subsequent chapters focus on different research methods including survey research, experimental research, and various forms of analysis. Topics include: Measurement and Sampling; Internal and External Validity; Physiological Laboratory Methods; Network, Rhetorical, Conversation, and Discourse Analysis; and Ethnography. The insight into real-world scenarios is a direct and useful contrast to many textbooks on communication research methods that do a fine job of explaining the process and relative merits of various methods, but fail to give students a clear understanding of how the research is actually performed. Readings in Communication Research Methods is a supplemental text for courses in Communication Research. Paired with a required textbook, it enhances students' understanding of how research methods can be successfully used in the real world. Written in a jargon-free, accessible style, the book is ideal for undergraduate students. Jon Nussbaum earned his Ph.D. at Purdue University. He is a Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences, and Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State University. Dr. Nussbaum has served as President of the International Communication Association, and the International Society of Language and Social Psychology. He is a former editor of the Journal of Communication, and was a Fulbright Research Fellow in the United Kingdom. He is a Fellow of the International Communication Association, and a Fellow within the Adult Development and Aging Division of the American Psychological Association. Dr. Nussbaum has published extensively, with thirteen books, and over 85 journal articles and book chapters to his credit. He focuses on investigating communication behaviors and patterns across the life span including research on family, friendship, and personal relationships with well and frail older adults. In 2010 Dr. Nussbaum received the B. Aubrey Fisher mentor award.

Tales of the Martin Clan: Stories of an American family

Jon F. Rice

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
nidottu
This book is a collection of four short stories, set in a researched historical setting, or historical fiction. However that history has, perhaps, a non-traditional focus. The stories reside in the path of America's color-line as it sways, pitches and rolls, drunkenly through the American past. The characters are not circumspect about their color, nor do they transcend it, entirely. While the stories focus on one family's journey through time, their story also implies alternative perceptions of America than the current histories. It is the author's hope that you will enjoy the stories in the own light, but dare to look beyond them at the vision of the future from a redemptive past.

Sebastian Cortez believes himself to be a man without morals, capable of anything. He is a very talented thief but his ambitions are set on becoming very talented in all of man's darker deeds. Seeing the abhorrence of killing as a childish weakness, and privately knowing he shares it, he accepts tasks that push his lack of morals further and further but cannot bring himself to kill. Accepting he's not descended into complete darkness, he looks for a way to push himself further towards it. He finds someone paying good coin to ruin a political marriage, very specifically by ruining the future bride to the Prince of Spireheim, a powerful trading hub. Overcoming her bodyguard, the ghost-talking magician Juan Julio, he commits the deed and flees the scene chased by panic and a sudden, powerful sucker punch of guilt. Seb isn't the dark, amoral man he believed himself to be, wanted to be, and finds himself crippled by guilt for what he's done. Resolving to postpone his soul searching and introspection until he's paid and safe, Seb sets out to achieve these two things.But there is more going on in Spireheim than he originally expected. After Juan Julio, disgraced and dishonoured by his failure to protect the princess, catches up to Seb, the thief is forced to help him hunt down the men who set this plot in motion. The marriage was to ally the trading city-state with the most powerful empire in the known world, and the Prince of Spireheim's reaction to his new bride's assault and ruin looks to bring war to his fledgling nation. As Seb and Julio uncover more and more of the conspiracy they discover things that draw old myths into the realms of fact, and an wicked plot to bring death and destruction on a scale never before seen - all for the selfish ambitions of a man who is what Seb thought he wanted to be.To save the lives of thousands - and, importantly, his own - Sebastian must conquer his inner demons and deal with the consequences of his recent crimes while working with the people he has hurt most. But the magician Juan Julio is not the only name on the list of people who want to kill him, and to save his life Seb must earn forgiveness for his sins with more than just fast talk and easy charm.
