Beyond the Fascist Curtain
Beyond the Fascist Curtain is an essay collection which loosely explores the ideological battleground between social democracy and fascism. Through incisive analysis and sharp critique, Anthony David Vernon dissects the mechanisms of fascism including its abuse of postmodernism, its nationalist fervor, and its reliance on distortion and violence all the while championing social democracy as a reformist alternative.With essays on topics ranging from Candace Owens' reactionary rhetoric to the role of hip-hop in anti-fascist resistance, Vernon argues that social democracy, rooted in incremental progress and pluralism, offers a path forward against fascism. This essay collection is meant to assist readers in gaining an understanding on both the nature of social democracy and fascism.His previous work has been called "opens up new doors of thought in your brain" by Joshua Grant of Diabolic Shrimp. Gordon Long of Air Born Press said of Vernon's work "this author is breaking down barriers, not so he can put up new ones of his own, but just because breaking down barriers is a good thing. Opening closed minds."

Artificial Cognitive Systems
A concise introduction to a complex field, bringing together recent work in cognitive science and cognitive robotics to offer a solid grounding on key issues. This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to the emerging field of artificial cognitive systems. Cognition, both natural and artificial, is about anticipating the need for action and developing the capacity to predict the outcome of those actions. Drawing on artificial intelligence, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, the field of artificial cognitive systems has as its ultimate goal the creation of computer-based systems that can interact with humans and serve society in a variety of ways. This primer brings together recent work in cognitive science and cognitive robotics to offer readers a solid grounding on key issues. The book first develops a working definition of cognitive systems--broad enough to encompass multiple views of the subject and deep enough to help in the formulation of theories and models. It surveys the cognitivist, emergent, and hybrid paradigms of cognitive science and discusses cognitive architectures derived from them. It then turns to the key issues, with chapters devoted to autonomy, embodiment, learning and development, memory and prospection, knowledge and representation, and social cognition. Ideas are introduced in an intuitive, natural order, with an emphasis on the relationships among ideas and building to an overview of the field. The main text is straightforward and succinct; sidenotes drill deeper on specific topics and provide contextual links to further reading.

'David Vernon's book helps everyone, no matter how previously informed, to find their own way into Sibelius's extraordinary world.' - Sakari Oramo, chief conductor, BBC Symphony Orchestra'Sibelius's music is as synthetic as a skyscraper but as natural and spontaneous as a dividing cell'Developing a style and logic all his own, outside the trends of modernism, Jean Sibelius wrote some of most captivating and resonant orchestral works of the twentieth century, and his symphonies and tone poems have become among the most celebrated music of all time - yet it is music which is darker, more challenging and complex, than has often been supposed.In his new book, David Vernon - author of Beauty and Sadness: Mahler's 11 Symphonies and Beethoven: The String Quartets - explores these evocative, compelling and thought-provoking works of art, examining in particular their relationship with the natural world and the great Finnish literary epic, the Kalevala.Each work, including Kullervo, the seven symphonies, and the tone poems from En Saga to Tapiola, is given its own chapter, which includes an essay followed by a detailed movement-by-movement guide to the music.

Convolution Transform
The convolution transform includes as special cases such familiar transforms as the Laplace, Fourier-sine, Fourier-cosine, Hankel, Meier, and Weierstrass (or Gauss). As a consequence any general theory about it may serve as a unifying influence for the evergrowing literature concerning integral transforms.Originally published in 1955.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
