Shifting Mobility: Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code
by Dewan Masud KarimIn the face of resource depletion, environmental changes, lifestyle changes, demographic and digital adaptation, old ideologies of city building and expensive and complex automobility solutions are in freefall. These changes are creating severe friction between the old and new paradigms. This book provides new perspectives through the process of ideological disassociation and concepts of human mobility code. The basic premise of the book, human mobility is an essential component of our creativity that comes from our unconscious desire to become a part of a community. Several new concepts in the book starts with the hallmark of new discovery of human mobility code and its implications of urban mobility boundary systems to stay within safe planetary zone. A new discovery of human mobility code from comprehensive research finding prove that each individual develops a unique mobility footprint and become our mobility identity. Beyond individual hallmarks, human develops collective mobility codes through interaction with the third space on which entire mobility systems lie and are created by the fundamentals of city planning and the design process. Readers are introduced to an innovative mobility planning process and reinvention of multimodal mobility approaches based on new mobility code while formulating new concepts, practical solutions and implementation techniques, tools, policies, and processes to reinforce low-carbon mobility options while addressing social equity, environmental, and health benefits. Finally, the book arms us with knowledge to prevent the disaster of full technological enlightenment against our natural human mobility code.

Shitstorm-Prävention
by Jörg SikkengaDas Buch stellt die Gefahr von Shitstorms dar, die schnell in Sozialen Medien aufziehen und Unternehmen schaden können. Die Sozialen Medien oder das Web 2.0 stellen eine besondere Herausforderung für das Marketing dar, da die Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten Rückmeldung zu den gekauften Produkten geben und damit reale sowie vermeintliche Missstände anprangern können. Darauf muss die Unternehmenskommunikation reagieren. Für Unternehmen wäre es ein Worst-Case-Szenario, wenn ein Shitstorm seinen Ruf nachhaltig schädigt und intensive Marketingbemühungen verpuffen lassen würde. Die Case Study behandelt das Thema Shitstorm-Attacken auf zwei Ebenen. So diskutiert sie auf der ersten Ebene die Möglichkeiten der Shitstorm-Prävention des Unternehmens, aus denen dann eine Präventionsstrategie erarbeitet wird. Auf der zweiten Ebene wird anhand eines Beispiels ein Plan entwickelt, mit dem ein Shitstorm beruhigt werden kann. Beide Strategien können von Unternehmen eingesetzt werden, um sowohl Shitstorms vorzubeugen als auch diese frühzeitig zu minimieren.Die Leuphana Case Studies sind ein Projekt, das in Zusammenarbeit mit kleinen und mittelständischen Unternehmen erstellt und entwickelt worden ist. Sie sind ein Lehrbuch, mit dessen Hilfe Unternehmen, die vor ähnlichen Herausforderungen stehen, selbige bewältigen können. Dafür ist keine Hilfe von Dritten notwendig. Auf Grundlage der einzelnen Case Studies werden den Bearbeiterinnen und Bearbeitern elementare Werkzeuge aus der wissenschaftlichen Theorie erklärt. Diese können sie anwenden, um mit den Insiderkenntnissen des eigenen Unternehmens Prozesse zu optimieren, Ziele entwickeln und erreichen oder schwierige Herausforderungen zu bewältigen.

Short Season
by Scott Eller[from the back cover] "Striking Out For Brad, it's always been great having an older brother like Dean--to play stickball with, to have as a buddy or just to talk to. And on the baseball field, Dean's golden glove and Brad's hitting eye can't be beat. They're more than brothers--they're a team. But Dean's been acting different lately, and Brad doesn't know why. He hardly talks to Brad anymore--all of a sudden he's just too busy. Things are bad enough, but the league play-offs are coming up, and Brad doesn't have Dean to cover for him in the outfield anymore. Brad's spent his life being part of a team--can he really make it on his own?"

Shortest Path Solvers. From Software to Wetware (Emergence, Complexity And Computation Ser. #32)
by Andrew AdamatzkyThis book offers advanced parallel and distributed algorithms and experimental laboratory prototypes of unconventional shortest path solvers. In addition, it presents novel and unique algorithms of solving shortest problems in massively parallel cellular automaton machines. The shortest path problem is a fundamental and classical problem in graph theory and computer science and is frequently applied in the contexts of transport and logistics, telecommunication networks, virtual reality and gaming, geometry, and social networks analysis. Software implementations include distance-vector algorithms for distributed path computation in dynamics networks, parallel solutions of the constrained shortest path problem, and application of the shortest path solutions in gathering robotic swarms. Massively parallel algorithms utilise cellular automata, where a shortest path is computed either via matrix multiplication in automaton arrays, or via the representation of data graphs in automaton lattices and using the propagation of wave-like patterns. Unconventional shortest path solvers are presented in computer models of foraging behaviour and protoplasmic network optimisation by the slime mould Physarum polycephalum and fluidic devices, while experimental laboratory prototypes of path solvers using chemical media, flows and droplets, and electrical current are also highlighted. The book will be a pleasure to explore for readers from all walks of life, from undergraduate students to university professors, from mathematicians, computers scientists and engineers to chemists and biologists.
Should You Believe Wikipedia?: Online Communities and the Construction of Knowledge
by Amy S. BruckmanAs we interact online we are creating new kinds of knowledge and community. How are these communities formed? How do we know whether to trust them as sources of information? In other words, Should we believe Wikipedia? This book explores what community is, what knowledge is, how the internet facilitates new kinds of community, and how knowledge is shaped through online collaboration and conversation. Along the way the author tackles issues such as how we represent ourselves online and how this shapes how we interact, why there is so much bad behavior online and what we can do about it. And the most important question of all: What can we as internet users and designers do to help the internet to bring out the best in us all?
Shovel Knight (Boss Fight Books)
by David L. CraddockIn 2014, Yacht Club Games released its very first game, Shovel Knight, a joyful 2D platformer that wears its NES influences on its sleeve. This unlikely pastiche of 8-bit inspirations manages to emulate the look, feel, and even the technical limitations of nostalgic titles like Mega Man, Zelda II, and Castlevania III—imbued with a contemporary sense of humor and self-awareness. But how is a fundamentally retro game created in the modern era? And what do the games of the past have to teach today's game designers? Based on extensive original interviews with the Yacht Club Games team, writer David L. Craddock unearths the story of a fledgling group of game developers who worked so well together at WayForward Games that they decided to start their own studio. From the high highs of Shovel Knight's groundbreaking Kickstarter to the low lows of its unexpectedly lengthy development, Boss Fight presents a new master class in how a great game gets made. Get ready to steel your shovel and dig into this fascinating oral history. For Shovelry!
Show Trial: Hollywood, HUAC, and the Birth of the Blacklist (Film and Culture Series)
by Thomas DohertyIn 1947, the Cold War came to Hollywood. Over nine tumultuous days in October, the House Un-American Activities Committee held a notorious round of hearings into alleged Communist subversion in the movie industry. The blowback was profound: the major studios pledged to never again employ a known Communist or unrepentant fellow traveler. The declaration marked the onset of the blacklist era, a time when political allegiances, real or suspected, determined employment opportunities in the entertainment industry. Hundreds of artists were shown the door—or had it shut in their faces.In Show Trial, Thomas Doherty takes us behind the scenes at the first full-on media-political spectacle of the postwar era. He details the theatrical elements of a proceeding that bridged the realms of entertainment and politics, a courtroom drama starring glamorous actors, colorful moguls, on-the-make congressmen, high-priced lawyers, single-minded investigators, and recalcitrant screenwriters, all recorded by newsreel cameras and broadcast over radio. Doherty tells the story of the Hollywood Ten and the other witnesses, friendly and unfriendly, who testified, and chronicles the implementation of the postwar blacklist. Show Trial is a rich, character-driven inquiry into how the HUAC hearings ignited the anti-Communist crackdown in Hollywood, providing a gripping cultural history of one of the most transformative events of the postwar era.
Showstopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft
