Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: »Die präzise Beschreibung einer realen Begebenheit aus dem letzten Jahrhundert, die ein erhellendes Schlaglicht auf die USA von heute wirft.« Thomas Wörtche Über das Buch 20. Oktober 1907 in Kingston, Ulster County, irgendwo in den Catskill Mountains. Ein Galgen wird gezimmert, Strick und Fallhöhe getestet, die braven Bürger strömen herbei, die Musik spielt fröhliche Weisen. Der Delinquent ist Oscar Jukes, Sippenoberhaupt einer Familie, die man heute »white trash« nennen würde. (Halb-)Analphabeten mit betrüblichen hygienischen und moralischen Standards und viel krimineller Energie. Die Stützen der Gesellschaft, die ihn zum Tode verurteilt haben, sind religiöse Eiferer voll alttestamentarischem Furor mit Sympathien für den und eigenen politischen und ökonomischen Interessen. Angeklagt ist Oscar Jukes unter anderem wegen Kannibalismus, weil man im Kochkessel einschlägige Rückstände gefunden hat. Was ist aber wirklich passiert? Was wird gespielt? Und muss Oscar Jukes am Ende hängen? »The Cannibal of Pang Yang« ist schon allein deshalb eine Sensation, weil es die erste Erzählung des Edgar-Preisträgers Thomas Adcock nach einer jahrelangen Pause ist. Zudem ist der Text selbst ein kleines Juwel konzentrierter und sarkastischer Erzählkunst.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one artist to another, a helpful guide and a meditation on the nature of the ego and its toxic effects on the creative process Life Without Envy by Camille DeAngelis is a game-changer for artists of all stripes: a practical guide for navigating the feelings of jealousy, frustration, and inadequacy we all experience to create a happy life regardless of how your career is (or isn’t) going. In these pages you'll find strategies for escaping the negative feedback loop you get stuck in whenever you compare yourself to your fellow artists. You'll begin to resolve your hunger for recognition, shifting your mindset from “proving yourself” to making a contribution and becoming part of a supportive creative community. Best of all, you'll come to understand that your worth—as an artist and a human being—has nothing to do with how your work is received in the wider world. Life Without Envy offers a blueprint for real and lasting contentment no matter what setback you’re weathering in your creative life.

Book Synopsis The Culture of War in China by : Joanna Waley-Cohen
Download or read book The Culture of War in China written by Joanna Waley-Cohen and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was the primary focus of the Qing dynasty really civil rather than military matters? In this ground-breaking book, Joanna Waley-Cohen overturns conventional wisdom to put warfare at the heart of seventeenth and eighteenth century China. She argues that the civil and the military were understood as mutually complementary forces. Emperors underpinned military expansion with a wide-ranging cultural campaign intended to bring military success, and the martial values associated with it, into the mainstream of cultural life. The Culture of War in China is a striking revisionist history that brings new insight into the roots of Chinese nationalism and the modern militarized state.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Natural Language Processing by : Jacob Eisenstein
Download or read book Introduction to Natural Language Processing written by Jacob Eisenstein and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of computational methods for understanding, generating, and manipulating human language, which offers a synthesis of classical representations and algorithms with contemporary machine learning techniques. This textbook provides a technical perspective on natural language processing—methods for building computer software that understands, generates, and manipulates human language. It emphasizes contemporary data-driven approaches, focusing on techniques from supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The first section establishes a foundation in machine learning by building a set of tools that will be used throughout the book and applying them to word-based textual analysis. The second section introduces structured representations of language, including sequences, trees, and graphs. The third section explores different approaches to the representation and analysis of linguistic meaning, ranging from formal logic to neural word embeddings. The final section offers chapter-length treatments of three transformative applications of natural language processing: information extraction, machine translation, and text generation. End-of-chapter exercises include both paper-and-pencil analysis and software implementation. The text synthesizes and distills a broad and diverse research literature, linking contemporary machine learning techniques with the field's linguistic and computational foundations. It is suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses and as a reference for software engineers and data scientists. Readers should have a background in computer programming and college-level mathematics. After mastering the material presented, students will have the technical skill to build and analyze novel natural language processing systems and to understand the latest research in the field.
