Tawny: A Dog of the Old West
Par Thomas C. HInkle. 1927
ONE JUMP AHEAD OF DEATH Tawny was an outlaw from the day he was born. Hunted with guns and lariat...…
fleeing from traps and poison... fighting starvation in bitter cold and snow... Tawny still managed to out-think and out-run the men who put a $1,000 price on his golden hide. He had a hundred enemies, but also one loyal friend—Tom Harper, the fearless "range boy." Tom and Tawny loved and trusted each other. But it almost cost both their lives before the cow country finally learned that the wild dog Tawny was not a born killer— but a born gentleman.
Learning Skilled Trades in the Workplace
Par Jo Mackiewicz. 2025
This open access book describes and explains a fifty-year-old woman’s process of developing trade competences. Drawing from daily journal entries, photographs,…
interviews from 10 fabrication shops, and online forums about trades, this autoethnography details the author's learning process at Howe’s Welding and Metal Fabrication, where she has worked for over three years. This book uses accessible, everyday language and draws heavily from personal experience in trades, taking the value of trades as a given and explaining the process of developing the depth and breadth of conceptual and procedural knowledges—the competences—required to work in repair and fabrication shops like Howe’s. This book combines a research-derived framework for analyzing scaffolded learning and expertise development with stories of learning how and learning what. Readers will gain a better understanding of knowledge development in trades workplaces, including how one-to-one interactions scaffold knowledge, how workers gradually enter a community of practice, and how workplaces can constrain learning. This book also gives readers a view of workplace learning over time and helps readers—researchers and practitioners—recognize opportunities for development toward expertise. The book is useful for tradespeople, especially newcomers to trades and, in particular, women.

This book analyses the nature, causes, logic, and culture of prison victimisation in an English young offender institution for young…
men aged 18-21 years old. Drawing on ethnographic and qualitative research, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the gendered, situational, individual, and moral components of prison victimisation. It explores how wider technological, economic, policy, political, and cultural changes have altered the texture and structure of prison life and prison violence, and with what consequences. Ultimately, the book argues that high levels of prison violence are not inevitable. Rather, the prevention of prison violence requires a just, lawful, humane, and hopeful environment, and failing to create such is tragically life-changing for young prisoners.

Par Álvaro Rocha, Soumi Dutta, Korhan Cengiz, Sita Rani. 2025
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics in precision agriculture. The integration of technology…
in agriculture is revolutionizing traditional farming practices, paving the way for sustainability. Precision farming, powered by AI, IoT, and big data, optimizes resource use by enabling real-time monitoring of soil health, weather conditions, and crop growth. Automated irrigation systems and drones reduce water wastage and enhance productivity. Biotechnology advances, such as genetically modified crops and CRISPR gene editing, improve yield, pest resistance, and climate adaptability. Vertical farming and hydroponics offer space-efficient solutions, minimizing land degradation and water consumption. Robotics and autonomous machinery streamline labor-intensive tasks, reducing reliance on chemical inputs. Blockchain ensures transparency in the food supply chain, promoting fair trade and reducing food fraud. Renewable energy sources, like solar-powered farms, further lower agriculture&’s carbon footprint. By adopting these innovations, farmers can produce more with fewer resources, ensuring food security while preserving the environment. Embracing technology-driven agriculture is crucial for meeting global food demands sustainably, combating climate change, and fostering economic resilience in farming communities. The future of agriculture lies in intelligent, data-driven, and eco-friendly solutions that balance productivity with environmental stewardship.

Self-Tracking – etwa mit Schrittzählern, Fitness-Apps oder CO2-Trackern – steht exemplarisch für die Messregime in modernen Gesellschaften und ihren Anspruch,…
Verhalten zu steuern. Die pädagogischen Dimensionen dieser Praktiken sind bislang kaum systematisch erforscht. Die Studie füllt diese Lücke: Sie zeigt, wie Self-Tracking mit Lernen, Bildung, Üben und Erwachsenenerziehung verflochten ist. Empirisch fundiert rekonstruiert sie Praxen und Erfahrungen von Selbstvermesser*innen und stellt sie in Relation zu den Designs von Self-Tracking-Artefakten. Durch die Verbindung von Praxisforschung mit präzisen wie kreativen Medienanalysen eröffnet sie einen neuen Zugang zur Erforschung pädagogisierter Lebensführung – und tritt zugleich monokausalen Transformationsnarrativen der Digitalisierung kritisch entgegen. Das Buch richtet sich an Forschende, die sich mit digitaler Transformation und qualitativen Forschungszugängen zu Praktiken mit digital-materiellen Artefakten auseinandersetzen. Angesprochen sind auch Personen aus Bildungspraxis, Bildungspolitik und dem EdTech-Umfeld, die an Forschung zu den Widersprüchen und Brüchen digitaler Alltagspraktiken interessiert sind.
Performance and the Disney Theme Park Experience: The Tourist as Actor, 2nd Edition
Par Jennifer A. Kokai, Tom Robson. 2025
Most scholars and critics deny agency to the tourist in their engagement with the Disney theme park experience. The vast…
body of research and journalism on the Disney &“Imagineers&”—the designers and storytellers who construct the park experience—leads to the misconception that these exceptional artists puppeteer every aspect of the guest&’s experience. This anthology, now in its second edition, re-centers the park experience around its protagonist: the tourist, and addresses the Disney Parks using performance theory, an approach few to no scholars had used prior to the first edition. The authors of the individual essays, as well as the Introduction by Kokai and Robson, and an Afterword by world renowned tourism and performance expert Susan Bennett, recognize the inherently complicated nature of Disney. Many of the contributors consider themselves Disney fans, but also recognize the potentially problematic aspects of Disney parks. This collection permits both perspectives to exist side by side, informing rather than contradicting each other.
