This book examines the concepts of Post/Humanism and Transhumanism as depicted in superhero comics. Recent decades have seen mainstream audiences embrace the comic book Superhuman. Meanwhile there has been increasing concern surrounding human enhancement technologies, with the techno-scientific movement of Transhumanism arguing that it is time humans took active control of their evolution. Utilising Deleuze and Guattari's notion of the rhizome as a non-hierarchical system of knowledge to conceptualize the superhero narrative in terms of its political, social and aesthetic relations to the history of human technological enhancement, this book draws upon a diverse range of texts to explore the way in which the posthuman has been represented in superhero comics, while simultaneously highlighting its shared historical development with Post/Humanist critical theory and the material techno-scientific practices of Transhumanism

"The book Academic Social Responsibility - Sine Qua Non for Corporate Social Performance is our endeavor to disseminate the awareness of the significance of responsible (especially management) education not only for academic stakeholders, but for the whole society. It is an interesting combination of theories, studies, recognitions, and experiences gained by authors from different countries, institutions, who function in various institutional and cultural conditions. The book is divided into "Introduction" and three parts: "Towards the Socially Responsible University", "Socially Responsible Education for Enterprise Development", "Human Voice in Responsible Management Education". There are presented general concepts of socially responsible university, its impact on real business performance as well as there are discussed some specific and detailed problems of implementing academic social responsibility into practice"--

Based on the content of the Critical Approach and category of text in the textbook, this paper attempts to discuss how to use the Critical Approach to explore the writer's intention in the text which also indicates the ideological and political idea in the text. In order to find out the feasible teaching method, this paper chooses the excerpts as the case study. From the detailed analysis of the case, we conclude that the Critical Approach can help us find out the ideological and political ideas in learning text.

This volume draws on the ecojustice, citizen science and youth activism literature base in science education and applies the ideas to situated tensions as they are either analyzed theoretically or praxiologically within science education pedagogy. It uses ecojustice to evaluate the holistic connections between cultural and natural systems, environmentalism, sustainability and Earth-friendly marketing trends, and introduces citizen science and youth activism as two of the pedagogical ways ecojustice philosophy can be enacted. It also comprises evidence-based practice with international service, community embedded curriculum, teacher preparation, citizen monitoring and community activism, student-scientist partnerships, socioscientific issues, and new avenues for educational research.

"The Americas manifest a long history of (often forced) entanglements that resulted--amongst others--in migration processes, uneven economic structures, transnational networks of individuals, and political institutions of colonialist origin. This diachronic dimension is profoundly infused with the persistent inequalities shaped by coloniality. Indigenous movements in the Andean region have framed their demands in a narration of anti-colonial resistance since the times of the Conquest, a narration that opens up perspectives towards new political projects, as can be seen in the debate on the alternative cosmovision of BuenVivir. In the United States, African American endeavors like the Civil Rights movement and the Black Power movement created inter-American networks in order to encourage and enforce historically informed race consciousness in politics. This volume convenes scholars from various disciplines of the humanities who analyze processes and politics of entanglement in the American subcontinents from different perspectives on transnationality and, by doing so, challenge the 'traditional' divide between North American and Latin American studies. The contributions focus upon transnational flows and actors in the Americas as well as upon local manifestations of transnational political networks. While centering their analysis on the 20th century, the authors are aware of the historical conditionality of the explored and examined processes and developments. Based upon empirical research, they highlight the necessity for profound conceptual reconsiderations in area studies"--Provided by publisher

This book meets a demand for training in spatial analysis tools. Much of the strength of landscape ecology lies in its ability to address challenges over large areas, over spatial and temporal scales at which decision-making often occurs. As the world tackles issues related to sustainability and global change, the need for this broad perspective has increased. Furthermore, spatial data and spatial analyses (core methods in landscape ecology) are critical for analyzing land-cover changes worldwide. While spatial dynamics have long been fundamental to terrestrial conservation strategies, land management, and reserve design, mapping and spatial themes are increasingly recognized as important for ecosystems management in aquatic, coastal, and marine systems. --
