'The Oxford Handbook of Charles S. Peirce' provides a thorough introduction into contemporary research on the work of the American polymath and philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914). Peirce's contributions to philosophy would inspire other American philosophers such as William James and John Dewey. Though most of the volume concentrates on philosophy - with chapters on ethics, aesthetics, phenomenology, logic, metaphysics, and pragmatism - attention is also given to his influence on areas such as semiotics, physics, biology, and mathematics.

"In our data-rich era, extracting meaningful insights from the vast amount of information has become a crucial challenge, especially in government service delivery where informed decisions are paramount. Traditional approaches struggle with the enormity of data, highlighting the need for a new approach that integrates data science and machine learning. The book, Machine Learning and Data Science Techniques for Effective Government Service Delivery, becomes a vital resource in this transformation, offering a deep understanding of these technologies and their applications. Within the complex landscape of modern governance, this book stands as a solution-oriented guide. Recognizing data's value in the 21st century, it navigates the world of data science and machine learning, enhancing the mechanics of government service. By addressing citizens' evolving needs, these advanced methods counter inefficiencies in traditional systems. Tailored for experts across technology, academia, and government, the book bridges theory and practicality. Covering foundational concepts and innovative applications, it explores the potential of data-driven decision-making for a more efficient and citizen-centric government future."--

"This book tells the story of how innovative and rival practitioner communities have shaped American diplomacy's public dimension. It is the fi rst book to frame U.S. public diplomacy in the broad sweep of American diplomatic practice from the early colonial period to the present. "...not only original but also potentially fi eld shifting. This is not simply another good book on American public diplomacy: it will be the book on American public diplomacy." --Professor Geoffrey Wiseman, DePaul University, U.S.A "American Diplomacy's Public Dimension, a masterful historical overview of American diplomatic communication, provides fi rst-time insight into the evolution of U.S. public diplomacy from the colonial era to the present day. This book also offers a nuanced assessment of contemporary public diplomacy practices in the face of rapid technological transformation and increasingly 'societized' diplomatic engagement. An exceptional blend of public diplomacy scholarship and deep institutional knowledge, this major work will appeal to diplomatic practitioners, professors, and policymakers." -- Vivian S. Walker, Executive Director, U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy "Gregory thinks like an academic while seeing public diplomacy through the lens of the work of the men and women who have put fl esh on the bones of U.S. public diplomacy policies... This book is steeped in deep knowledge and his exceptional dedication to getting our understanding of public diplomacy right." --Professor Jan Melissen, Editor-in-Chief, The Hague Journal of Diplomacy Bruce Gregory taught graduate and undergraduate courses on public diplomacy at Georgetown University and George Washington University for 17 years. Prior to that, his 33-year government career included positions at the Department of State, U.S. Information Agency, 13 years as executive director of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, and three years on the faculty of the National War College. Publications include peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, public policy reports, and a bimonthly literature review"--Publisher's description

"This book presents a self-contained and accessible economic analysis of American politics. Chapters address voters, political parties, the media, Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. Maurer explains how the Framers' design usually encourages moderation - but can also veer into the kind of dangerously divisive politics we know today"--
