A manifesto for the future of architectural practice and the necessity of good design to modern life, by renowned British architect Richard Rogers. Written in what architect Richard Rogers regarded as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay considers how the way we build - and live - might change for the better. Poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are, Roger argues, not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to exploitative economic systems and inconsiderate business interests. Best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome in London, Rogers was perhaps the most original and inventive architect of his time, and was a frequent commentator on the contemporary scene. As a practitioner, he was in the best position possible to appreciate how economic forces can create - or frustrate - good design. A succinct summary of his design philosophies, Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture continues to be a powerful manifesto.

There is growing awareness about how social media circulate extreme viewpoints and turn up the temperature of public debate. Posts that exhibit agitation garner disproportionate engagement. Within this clamour, fringe sources and viewpoints are mainstreaming, and mainstream media are marginalized. This book takes up the mainstreaming of the fringe and the marginalization of the mainstream. In a cross-platform analysis of Google Web Search, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, 4chan and TikTok, we found that hyperpartisan web operators, alternative influencers and ambivalent commentators are in ascendency. The book can be read as a form of platform criticism. It puts on display the current state of information online, noting how social media platforms have taken on the mantle of accidental authorities, privileging their own on-platform performers and at the same time adjudicating between claims of what is considered acceptable discourse.

This innovative book provides both the conceptual framework and clinical methods needed to appropriately handle problems that arise in the administration of Miranda warnings and waivers. Largely overlooked for decades, Miranda rights have been compromised in multiple ways, and in millions of cases. For example, each year, thousands of adult arrestees with intellectual disabilities or severe mental disorders waive their rights with markedly impaired Miranda understanding and reasoning. This also applies to thousands of developmentally immature juvenile detainees, who are often provided with complex warnings far beyond their comprehension levels. Addressing this continued crisis, Conducting Miranda Evaluations presents balanced and empirically based guidelines for conducting forensic assessments and communicating their empirical conclusions to the legal community. This book provides psychologists, and related professionals with the essential forensic and legal knowledge for carrying out evaluations of both Miranda comprehension and waiver-relevant reasoning.Dieses innovative Buch bietet sowohl den konzeptionellen Rahmen als auch die klinischen Methoden, die erforderlich sind, um Probleme, die bei der Verwaltung von Miranda-Warnungen und Verzichtserklärungen auftreten, angemessen zu behandeln. Die Miranda-Rechte, die jahrzehntelang weitgehend übersehen wurden, sind auf vielfältige Weise und in Millionen von Fällen beeinträchtigt worden. So verzichten beispielsweise jedes Jahr Tausende von erwachsenen Festgenommenen mit geistigen Behinderungen oder schweren psychischen Störungen auf ihre Rechte, ohne dass sie die Miranda-Belehrung richtig verstanden haben und vernünftig denken können. Dies gilt auch für Tausende von entwicklungsgestörten jugendlichen Häftlingen, die oft mit komplexen Warnungen konfrontiert werden, die sie bei weitem nicht verstehen. Conducting Miranda Evaluations (Miranda-Bewertungen durchführen) stellt ausgewogene und empirisch fundierte Richtlinien für die Durchführung forensischer Bewertungen und die Vermittlung ihrer empirischen Schlussfolgerungen an die juristische Gemeinschaft vor, um dieser anhaltenden Krise zu begegnen. Dieses Buch vermittelt Psychologen und verwandten Berufsgruppen die wesentlichen forensischen und juristischen Kenntnisse für die Durchführung von Beurteilungen sowohl des Miranda-Verständnisses als auch der für den Verzicht relevanten Argumentation.

In his continual walking with God, Richard Rogers (1551-1618) was 'the Enoch of his age.' He was also a pious Cambridge scholar and early organizing and influential presbyterian.These four, newly edited sermons on Conversion from Isaiah 55:1-2 and Deut. 5:28-29 are experientially rich. They lay the entrance to God's kingdom sweetly low: to any that thirst for it. Rogers, with a discerning and soft hand, reproves worldly minded persons who do not desire the best things of God, shows that the way to be saved is to thirst for what God offers, and assures those that do so that God will surely make good his end of the deal. It is in thirsting that the Christian continues in this life to receive the best spiritual graces from God for everything that he or she needs.This work also includes a short poem of his about the benefits of spiritual reading, conferencing, meditation and prayer. You will find it delightful.

As technology becomes increasingly important in our lives, so does the question of quality. Sports journalist Kim Harris increasingly relies on the websites, apps and devices which affect her life. Sometimes they help and sometimes they hinder; sometimes they are fun and sometimes they frustrate. Sometimes they seem designed to prevent her doing the things she wants to do. Illustrated through Kim's experiences, Changing Times explores the complex relationship between humans and technology. What affects that relationship? How does each of us determine what we like and don't like about the technology we use? Does the work which goes into its development address the needs of real people? A book about technology - but more importantly about the people who create it, and the people who use it - Changing Times provides insights about what quality means in our digital age. "The gap between people in technology development and their customers is wide. To bridge this gap, Rich has made technology challenges real to us in an everyday context... this book will help you better understand the wonderful and sometimes confusing world of technology quality." Tony Bailey, CEO, AccessHQ "They say quality is 'value to some person'. If that's indeed true, then this book is quality to me! A book for tech newbies through to tech enthusiasts, Changing Times provides grounded perspective on an often misguided subject." David Greenlees, author of Software Testing as a Martial Art
