Diaconis and Graham are mathematicians as well as skilled performers with decades of professional experience between them. In this book they share a wealth of conjuring lore, including some closely guarded secrets of legendary magicians.

A history of the city of Seoul through the lens of architecture and urban life.Seoul Urban Architecture is a powerful and original study of Seouls urban and architectural evolution, told through the lens of an architect and educator who has lived and worked in the city for over four decades. In his book, which is part memoir, part cultural history, and part urban analysis, Sung Hong Kim traces how South Koreas capitalonce a walled city shaped by Confucian idealshas become a sprawling, vertical metropolis marked by rapid modernization, deep structural contradictions, and a fierce, creative resilience. Organized into four parts, Kim surveys Seouls urban landscape from the late fourteenth century to the aftermath of the Korean War, illuminating the layers of occupation, destruction, and imposed planning that have shaped the citys foundation. He guides the reader through periods of urban, legal, technological, and cultural constraints that eventually gave birth to new vitality, creativity, and innovation from an emerging generation of architects. His reflections on displacement, constraint, and ingenuity speak to a broader global condition faced by architects and urban designers alike: how to find meaning and agency within environments shaped by forces beyond their control. At once personal and panoramic, Seoul Urban Architecture offers a vital perspective on this city of paradoxes, where fragments of history coexist with radical new forms, and where the uneven fabric of urban life reveals the story of a nation that has risen, in several bursts, from the ruins of war and colonization to become a cultural and economic powerhouse.

This handbook reflects and represents the established and expanding knowledge base in the field of educational change as embodied in publishing outlets like Springer’s Journal of Educational Change, the AERA Educational Change Special Interest Group, The AERA Teacher and Teacher Education Division, the British Educational Leadership and Management Association, and the International Congress of School Effectiveness and Improvement. The work captures the changing and more inclusive and critical nature of the field. This involves responding to calls for traditionally marginalised and minoritized groups, regions and issues to be centred and uplifted in the field and in practice. The Handbook includes classic, contemporary, and cutting-edge contributions to the field of educational change. It offers rigorous scholarly work written in a style that is accessible to researchers, academics, educational leaders, and policymakers who are drawn to evidence-based and theoretically informed approaches. Contents are inclusive in authorship and focus, representative of different fields such as leadership, policy, curriculum, pedagogy, equity, and diversity, inclusive of diverse and sometimes competing perspectives, and attentive to international range and scope of contribution. This is a time when there is turnover of generations in the field of educational change, with many of the founders now having passed away or holding senior Emeritus status. It is a time of emerging scholarship among mid-career academics and evolving research among new generations of graduate students that call for familiarity with established canons of educational change, and a growing field of intellectual, cultural, and global diversity. This Third handbook is written at this generational tipping point in the academic field, at a time when global knowledge and understanding of educational change is more accessible and abundant, and in a moment of great controversy regarding future directions of educational change in relation to a rapidly changing world.

Picasso's ceramics express the restless, fluid ease of his late yearsIn 1946, Pablo Picasso visited an exhibition of ceramics in Vallauris, an area in southeastern France known for its many potteries. He would move to the region soon after, establishing a steady relationship with the Madoura ceramics workshop in 1948.It was a watershed moment for Picasso, who throughout his long life was always on the lookout for new artistic challenges in all conceivable materials. Picasso's experiments with various ceramic materials, oxides and glazes would produce a huge body of work: some 4,000 ceramic objects bearing the motifs of animals, fauns and women evoked through Picasso's whimsical, elegant handling of shape and line. This major body of work in ceramics forms a lesser-known but highly original part of the oeuvre of an artist who was constantly reinventing himself and his forms.This book presents more than 150 of Picasso's most important ceramic works reproduced in beautiful four-color printing, as well as new texts about the artist's pieces in this medium. The book also contains a detailed glossary of ceramic terms and a review of the forms most commonly used by Picasso. The only book in print on this beautiful and highly imaginative part of Picasso's oeuvre, Picasso: Ceramics is an essential volume.

The state of the weather is almost the first topic of conversation when people meet, which is not surprising when it is a matter of such importance to our well being, health, prosperity, and even to life itself. Accurate weather predictions have always been an important human ambition and one that for some could ensure their success or failure. The result has been the framing of a rough set of rules about the weather. Some of these observations have become proverbs; others have taken the shape of rhymes; while many have been passed down by word of mouth, as mere records of facts. Autorid: Richard Inwards
