    The Psychology of Mathematics (eBook, PDF)
    This book offers an innovative introduction to the psychological basis of mathematics and the nature of mathematical thinking and learning, using an approach that empowers students by fostering their own construction of mathematical structures. Through accessible and engaging writing, award-winning mathematician and educator Anderson Norton reframes mathematics as something that exists first in the minds of students, rather than something that exists first in a textbook. By exploring the psychological basis for mathematics at every level-including geometry, algebra, calculus, complex analysis, and more-Norton unlocks students' personal power to construct mathematical objects based on their own mental activity and illustrates the power of mathematics in organizing the world as we know it. Including reflections and activities designed to inspire awareness of the mental actions and processes coordinated in practicing mathematics, the book is geared toward current and future secondary and elementary mathematics teachers who will empower the next generation of mathematicians and STEM majors. Those interested in the history and philosophy that underpins mathematics will also benefit from this book, as well as those informed and curious minds attentive to the human experience more generally.

    Ode to Kirihito: New Omnibus Edition
    ARE YOU A BEAST? It may or may not be contagious. There seems to be no cure for it. Yet Monmow Disease, a life-threatening condition that transforms a person into a dog-like beast, is not the only villain in this shocking triumph of a medical thriller by manga-god Osamu Tezuka. Said to have been the personal favorite of the artist, who held a degree in medicine, and surprisingly attentive to Christian themes and imagery, Ode to Kirihito demolishes naive notions about human nature and health and likely preconceptions about the comics master himself. A promising young doctor, Kirihito Osanai visits a remote Japanese mountain village to investigate the source of the latest epidemiological mystery. While he ends up traveling the world to discover what it takes to be cured of such a disease, a conspiracy back home attempts to explain away his absence. From plutocratic Taipei and apartheid South Africa to backwater Syria and metropolitan Osaka, ambition and desire beckon "normal men" to behave uglier than any beast as we examine the true worth of human beings through and beyond appearances.

    Post-Mass-Media and Participation
    Three decades after Félix Guattari introduced the concept of "post-mass-media" as a necessary condition of media participation, it is by no means self-evident that his reaction to events leading up to 1989 would still attract a new generation of scholars today. Yet, the concept continually reappears to address the role of technology in democratic participation and the relation between the aesthetic and the political. Originating in discussions of the DFG research group Media and Participation, this issue attests to the continued need to remain attentive to the shifting forms of political and artistic participation and their multiple re-valuations in what has been called a "post-media age". Instead of proposing a theory of media, which is said to facilitate and shape participation, post-media emerges from the beginning as a question of participation, which is itself 'medial.' This framing is central to this issue of AugenBlick and allows for the question of post-media to be situated in our current condition through investigations of video games, documentary projects, YouTube, aesthetics and ethics in the political field, as well as the global pandemic.

    Taped to a chair in the kitchen, Evelyn Coretti fears the worst. Her husband, Miller, once so attentive and loving, is threatening to kill them both and burn their house to the ground - though he means to interrogate her first. About what? A power is growing inside of Evelyn - one so alien she doesn’t know if she can hide it any longer. But is what’s happening to her real? Or is it a fearful tumble into madness? Is Miller, no stranger to insanity himself, courting a breakdown of his own? Or is a force far more unstable and far more dangerous than either of them setting the two up for a showdown that can only end one way?

    Josh's training as a submissive is coming along, but Talia feels he needs something extra to really help him admit his new status.

It's a special day for both of them, as Victoria learns Josh is not the strong, masculine rogue she once thought, and Josh is forced to admit his new position to a woman he previously enjoyed any way he pleased. And now, a word from Blackwood Manor: "What makes a great slave? Which qualities are mandatory in a person whose life is to serve? A penis, of course, but what else? At Blackwood, we believe a submissive must be more than simply obedient. He must be attentive, communicative and anticipate his owner's desires. Simple compliance is not enough. He must actively strive to better the life of his Mistress. Submission is proactive." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Devra Woodward.
