This book considers the ways in which the concept of the Rule of Law will need to evolve in order to ensure that the exercise of power by Artificial Intelligence (AI) does not become arbitrary and does not proceed unchecked. It presents the Rule of Law and its impact on the past and the present; it considers what AI is, what it does, and what it might become in future; and it looks at how AI will need to be harnessed to allow power to be exercised more effectively in the future. The book argues that the Rule of Law has for centuries been the concept that protects against the arbitrary exercise of power. However, the exercise of power by AI unchecked by humans strains the concept's ability to provide this protection.

Now just to figure out what to do with that second ticket .Thrown together by chance, the next twelve years prove as defining, dramatic, and sometimes heart-breaking for Matt and Shawn as they do for the Cavs - and for 'King' Lebron James.Multi-award-winner Rajiv Joseph offers a play-by-play look at how friendship and supporting a team intersect.

This book offers an in-depth exploration of the craft of antler, bone, horn and ivory working as it evolved within the pre-Viking emporia of northern Europe. Over the past few decades, studies of early medieval European trading settlements, known as emporia, have steadily shifted in focus from an emphasis on trade towards an appreciation of the role they played in craft production. This volume highlights one of the most conspicuous crafts to emerge in the pre-Viking emporia of northern Europe - the working of antler, bone, horn and ivory - and explores how and to what degree its development through the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties influenced its later proliferation in significant Viking sites of the 9th and 10th centuries.Waste materials and surviving evidence of production at most of the emporia, including both unfinished pieces and finished objects, can not only reveal the locations of workshops, but also allow for an estimate of the duration and scale of production. As the range of products created shifts over time, so too do the raw materials, with the use of antler, bone and horn oscillating across phases and exotic materials like whale bone and ivory being introduced into the mix. Through detailed analysis of a rich array of evidence across sites and regions, this study sheds new light on a wide range of questions: from the mechanisms behind the changes in production and the nature of human-animal interaction within the emporia, to the influence of the church on the craft from the late 7th century onwards and the status of its practitioners as either sedentary or itinerant, full-time or part-time. By looking outwards from northern Europe to the surrounding areas of Frisia, Anglo-Saxon England and the Insular world, it offers an expansive overview of the evolution of antler, bone, horn and ivory working during this transitional period of history, and re-evaluates the important role of the Franks in establishing what is often viewed as a Viking craft and way of life.

Moving beyond perpetrator-centred questions, this open access book explores how everyday objects such as kitchen knives and vans become lethal weapons, and how a new materialist approach can further our understanding of terror events and could be used to prevent future violence. Despite varied restrictions, explosives, guns, knives, and vehicles are readily available and kill thousands of people every year, yet thus far have played a marginal role in publications in security and terrorism studies. Katharina Karcher approaches terrorism as a 'material-discursive' phenomenon that comes into being through repeated boundary-drawing practices involving both human and non-human agencies. Case studies from across Europe, the US and the Middle East offer critical insights into the material and cultural evolution of the objects involved in mass shootings, suicide bombings, stabbings, and vehicle rammings. Drawing on data from court files, press coverage and interviews, this study offers the first in depth analysis of the material and discursive practices that create terrorist weapons, and that exclude other objects from this category. Karcher also shows how educational campaigns and policy measures that consider the agency of objects and promote a more-than-human ethic of care can be used to save lives beyond the contentious area of counter-terrorism.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Financial corruption, environmental destruction, danger and murder: the irresistible new novel by bestselling author and sharp social satirist Ferdinand Mount dissects the murky world of the super-rich

Offering the first comprehensive feminist analysis of ancient Greek fictional letters, this book focuses on the centuries between the Roman Imperial period and late antiquity. Through an exploration of modern French and Anglo-American feminist theory, Pontoropoulos creates an analytical framework using the scholarship of Hèléne Cixous and Alice Jardine. On the ancient side, the literary representations of women in the letter collections of Aelian, Alciphron and Aristaenetus form the main corpus of study.In this volume, Pontoropoulos structures his argument around three pertinent questions: can ancient fictional letters written by men tell us anything about their ancient representations of women? How do these letters inform our modern understanding of concepts such as gender and agency? Do these letter collections succeed in providing the reader with a variety of fictional female characters? The women in these literary collections are presented as speaking, rhetorical subjects that subvert the expected discourses of desire and shift the perspective from the male to the female point of view. In this sense, they not only present the reader with a highly-layered intertext, but also with a text that challenges expected gendered norms.

An unforgettable journey through space that interrogates the boundaries of our earthly existence and invites readers to marvel at the universe's dual nature - both terrifying and enchanting.

A decade on from the Arab uprisings, debates continue to reiterate exceptionalist discourses about the region and its peoples which tend to deny individual agency. They also neglect long collective histories of mediated political cultures that have emerged within colonial and post-colonial structures and outside peripheries of formal power and politics. This book problematizes the relationship between politics and communication in the Middle East and North Africa region, paying attention to the diversity of communicative forms and political practices outside formal institutions and structures while remaining conscious of the power dynamics within institutional practices. Examining political communication in Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Iraq, Syria, Turkey,Tunisa and Iran, the book's chapters challenge Western-centric theories and methodologies that dominate the broad field of political communication by reframing the discussions to include the politics of the marginal or the peripheral, the informal, and the grassroots.
