They say Mervin's father is a goofball. They call him a clown. They call for the men in the white coats to "take that nut to a funny farm." They say "that fruitcake is playing with a 51 card deck." What is truth and what is myth. Mervin Weiner knows that he has special powers. He is able to move objects. He is able to predict the future and he has the power to change his body into objects or even animals. His family refuses to believe it. However, things started to change when Mervin predicted the winning lottery numbers, shortly thereafter he managed to save his family's life by evacuating his him before a toxic leak invaded the house. However, all of this does not compare to Mervin's father's predicament. This is the Weiner family story. In this story it is very important not to get the truth mixed up with the facts.

Human-animal studies is an academic field that has grown exponentially over the past decade. It explores the whys, hows, and whats of human-animal relations: why animals are represented and configured in different ways in human cultures and societies around the world; how they are imagined, experienced, and given significance; what these relationships might signify about being human; and what about these relationships might be improved for the sake of the individuals as well as the communities concerned. The Routledge Handbook of Human-Animal Studies presents a collection of original essays from artists and scholars who have established themselves internationally on the basis of specific and significant new contributions to human-animal studies. This international, interdisciplinary handbook will be of interest to students and scholars of human-animal studies, sociology, anthropology, biology, environmental studies, geography, cultural studies, history, philosophy, media studies, gender studies, literature, psychology, ethology, and visual studies.

What does it mean to "be healthy?" Instead of using statistics based on everybody, we have the technology to see what's true for you-just you. This means we can see how healthy you actually are-or what could use improvement-and make adjustments from that information. In Rescue Your Health, Dr. Marvin Singh explains and explores the best that science and technology have to offer us today to better understand our unique health profile. This then allows us to make the best decisions possible for ourselves, or our loved ones. In its pages, Dr. Singh teaches you what tests are available (including his Top Five) so that you can feel empowered to take charge of your health right now. Each chapter presents the material in easy-to-understand terminology, as Dr. Singh shares his experience using the Precision Medicine approach with his own patients. From looking at your risk factors for certain diseases (such as breast cancer, heart disease, or Alzheimer's), to assessing the best exercises for your genes, there is something for everyone in Rescue Your Health. If Precision Medicine is our ticket to creating better health for longer, Rescue Your Health is an integral first step on that journey.

The orthodox definition of international security put human displacement and refugees at the periphery. In contrast, this book demonstrates that human displacement can be both a cause and a consequence of conflict within and among societies. As such, the management of refugee movements and the protection of displaced people should be a part of security policy.

In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.

This book investigates the aesthetic and political dialectics of East Berlin to argue how its theater and opera stages incited artists to act out, fuel, and resist the troubled construction of political legitimacy. This volume investigates three case studies of how leading East Berlin stages excavated fragmentary materials from Weimar dramatist Bertolt Brecht’s oeuvre and repurposed them for their post‐fascist society: Uta Birnbaum’s 1967 Man Equals Man at the Berliner Ensemble, Joachim Herz’s 1977 Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny at the Komische Oper, and Heiner Muller’s own productions of his trailblazing plays. In each instance, reused theatrical artifacts dialectically expressed the contradictions inherent in East German political legitimacy, at once amplifying and critiquing it. Illuminated by original archival research and translations of letters and artistic ephemera published in English for the first time, and engaging with alternative East German feminist epistemologies, this book’s critical investigation of culture and political legitimacy in the shadow of Germany’s fascist past resonates beyond the Iron Curtain into the twenty‐first century. Its final chapter examines how performative artifacts influence the process of political legitimation in more recent history, ranging from Checkpoint Charlie tourism to the January 6, 2021 US insurrection. This study will be of great interest to students and scholars in theater and performance studies, art history, musicology, German studies, anthropology, and political science.
