This is the first effort to compile a Perspectives volume that represents published articles from both the SHA journal, Historical Archaeology and the ACUA Under- water Archaeology Proceedings. This volume represents a comprehensive look at the field of underwater archaeology from the society's earliest conferences to present. Because this volume is compiled from a compilation of sources produced over the years, there are a range of publication styles, printers, and layouts resulting in a number of inconsistencies that can not be helped even in today's technologically advanced world of printing. Many of the articles only exist as print copies and today are very difficult to find. Thus, a number of the articles are facsimiles of the original paper publications.

"Aji" is a new business philosophy that works in a marketplace driven by the ubiquitous use of computers and computer-driven technologies, including AI, robotics and virtual augmented reality. It exploits the strategic and competitive capabilities of computers and the internet in a way that has enabled over 4,000 businesspeople to more than double their productivity and value so they can produce incomes between $400k-$4m. In short, "Aji" enables businesspeople to increase their incomes enough to fulfill their financial intentions so they and their spouse can stop worrying about running out of money during their old age. It is an entirely new set of business ambitions, moods, language, distinctions, interpretations, intentions, commitments, practices and outcomes that could not exist, or be imagined, before computers and the internet were invented. This book series explains "Aji", which Toby Hecht invented and has been teaching for more than 35 years, in a way businesspeople and businesses can begin to use immediately to increase their competitive capabilities and advantages. It is a completely different philosophical orientation or way of thinking, noticing, observing, assessing and acting in the marketplace to make money. Book One in this series introduces "Aji" and The Aji Source Fundamental Strategy. It explains how earning a living in today's computer-driven marketplace requires a new set of strategic intentions and tactical business skills. Book Two explains how The Strategy is organized, how it works and how to use it to change your or your business organization's orientation, intentions and skills to double productivity, value and income. The assignments in Book Three enable you to learn "Aji" alone or in your business, in person or online anywhere in the world, and use it to increase your income and fulfill your personal ambitions and business missions.

What do glitches reveal about the normally invisible processes behind our interpretations? Glitches and Glitch Art illuminate the unseen assumptions, ideology of dialectical thinking, and role of established knowledge that shapes as well as determines our engagement with the world. Betancourt builds on the role of perception in guiding these interpretations to explore the possibilities offered by glitches for addressing digital media. Not confined to esoteric questions of semiosis, this study presents an expansive model of ambivalence and ambiguity whose ramifications address how initial assumptions and beliefs create meaning.Tracking glitches across technical media old and new, and moving from early abstraction's attempts to visualize a transcendental spiritualism through to contemporary AI generated art and media, Betancourt describes how glitches are not just technical failures but products of the instabilities between human interpretations and autonomous machinic operations that create a 'discursive aesthetic' guided by cultural fantasies of digital media's immateriality that idealize it as a perfect, transcendent form. A journey to the roots of meaning itself, Betancourt offers a paradigm that unpacks how engaging the glitch can become a critical model not only for artists, critics, and academics, but for anyone interested in Contemporary Art, tactical media, and cultural activism. all illustrations in full color

"There are many women like Belén whose names we don’t know, but whose stories are just as important. An uplifting chronicle of one woman’s fight for justice."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Foreword by Margaret AtwoodThe heartbreaking true story of an Argentinian woman imprisoned for having a miscarriage—an injustice that galvanized a feminist movement and became a global rallying cry in the fight for reproductive rights.In 2014, Belén, a twenty-five-year-old woman living in rural Argentina, went to the hospital for a stomachache—and soon found herself in prison. While at the hospital she had a miscarriage—without knowing she was pregnant. Because of the nation’s repressive laws surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, the doctors were forced to report her to the authorities. Despite her protestations, Belén was convicted and sentenced to two years for homicide.Belén’s imprisonment is a glaring example of how women’s health care has become increasingly criminalized, putting the most vulnerable—BIPOC, rural, and low-income—women at greater risk of prosecution. Belén’s cause became the centerpiece of a movement to achieve greater protections for all women. After two failed attempts to clear her name, Belén met feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who quickly rallied Amnesty International and ignited an international feminist movement around #niunamas—not one more—symbolized by thousands of demonstrators around the globe donning white masks, the same kind of mask Belén wore when leaving prison. The #niunamas movement was instrumental in pressuring Argentine president Alberto Fernández to decriminalize abortion in 2021. In this gripping and personal account of the case and its impact on local law, Ana Correa, one of Argentina’s leading journalists and activists, makes clear that what happened to Belén could happen to any woman—and that we all have the power to raise our collective voices and demand change.Translated by Julia Sanches

In a new era of recovery, this book has becoming a "go-to" for online and in-person groups and for individual reflection.Ernie Kurtz, PhD from The Forward, "The book is aimed at a general 12-Step readership, but it is mindful that there heretofore exist no such aids for unbelievers, freethinkers, and the unconventionally spiritual. Given that the latest Pew Research survey found that twenty percent of the American people list their religious affiliation as 'None, ' it is certainly time that the Recovery world took into consideration this population's needs. Beyond Belief addresses that need in a confident, non-aggressive way. I doubt that any believer will find anything objectionable in its pages. This believer, for one, finds much that is spiritually helpful."

Yet when Beznaria Chetchevaliere crashes into her life, the sleek and sexy investigator exudes exactly the kind of chaos that organized and efficient Makeda finds irresistible, even if Bez is determined to drag her into a world of royal duty Makeda wants nothing to do with. When a threat to her grandmother's livelihood pushes Makeda to agree to return to Ibarania, Bez takes her on a transatlantic adventure with a crew of lovable weirdos, a fake marriage, and one-bed hijinks on the high seas. When they finally make it to Ibarania, they realize there's more at stake than just cash and crown, and Makeda must learn what it means to fight for what she desires and not what she feels bound to by duty."--Provided by publisher.
