Interest & Self-Interest in Ancient Athens
Interest and self-interest are concepts that have attracted multiple interdisciplinary approaches in the last decades.In this monograph, the author examines anew all nomenclature of these concepts in ancient Greek, and recapitulates relevant previous debates.This survey enables him to deal with major issues related to the Greek citizen and the polis as a whole: the gnoseology of self-interest, the manipulation of conflicting interests, the balance between expediency and justice, the vigour of competitive spirit among the Greeks and the conciliation of private with common good.The sympheron cannot be perceived beyond the context and framework of the much-discussed topics of individualism and utilitarian trends in ancient Greek thought and civic ideology.' Exploring these aspects of his subject-matter, the author provides a number of clues as to how one may better comprehend the polis' stratagems to invent' those devices needed to aggregate the one into the many.

Mutual Interest
"A timeless queer love story and a meditation on power, capitalism, and the flow of history . . . This novel is a revelation and a joy." -Anna North, New York Times bestselling author of OutlawedA classic in the making: a mesmerizing novel about marriage and ambition, sexuality and secrecy, and the true costs of building an empire.At the turn of the 20th century, Vivian Lesperance is determined to flee her origins in Utica, New York, and avoid repeating her parents' dull, limited life. When she meets Oscar Schmidt, a middle manager at a soap company, Vivian finds a partner she can guide to build the life she wants-not least because, more interested in men himself, Oscar will leave Vivian to tend to her own romances with women. But Vivian's plans require capital, so the two pair up with Squire Clancey, scion of an old American fortune. Together they found Clancey & Schmidt, a preeminent manufacturer of soap, perfume, and candles. When Oscar and Squire fall in love, the trio form a new kind of partnership. Vivian reaches the pinnacle of her power building Clancey & Schmidt into an empire of personal care products while operating behind the image of both men. But exposure threatens, and all three partners are made aware of how much they have to lose. For readers of Hernan Diaz's Trust and Colm Toibin's The Magician, with echoes of Gustave Flaubert and E.M. Forster, Mutual Interest is a beguiling story of queer romance, empire, and power.

Ethical Data Science : Prediction in the Public Interest
Can data science truly serve the public interest? Data-driven analysis shapes many interpersonal, consumer, and cultural experiences yet scientific solutions to social problems routinely stumble.All too often, predictions remain solely a technocratic instrument that sets financial interests against service to humanity.Amidst a growing movement to use science for positive change, Anne L.Washington offers a solution-oriented approach to the ethical challenges of data science.Ethical Data Science empowers those striving to create predictive data technologies that benefit more people.As one of the first books on public interest technology, it provides a starting point for anyone who wants human values to counterbalance the institutional incentives that drive computational prediction.It argues that data science prediction embeds administrative preferences that often ignore the disenfranchised.The book introduces the prediction supply chain to highlight moral questions alongside the interlocking legal and commercial interests influencing data science.Structured around a typical data science workflow, the book systematically outlines the potential for more nuanced approaches to transforming data into meaningful patterns.Drawing on arts and humanities methods, it encourages readers to think critically about the full human potential of data science step-by-step.Situating data science within multiple layers of effort exposes dependencies while also pinpointing opportunities for research ethics and policy interventions. This approachable process lays the foundation for broader conversations with a wide range of audiences.Practitioners, academics, students, policy makers, and legislators can all learn how to identify social dynamics in data trends, reflect on ethical questions, and deliberate over solutions.The book proves the limits of predictive technology controlled by the few and calls for more inclusive data science.

Place of Interest: CERN : European Organization for Nuclear Research
For most people locations that hold a particular importance for the development of our society and for the advancement of science and technology often remain hidden from view.They are separate and protected, such as CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, close to the city of Geneva.CERN is best known for its giant particle accelerator.Here researchers from around the world take part in a diverse array of fundamental physical research, in the pursuit of knowledge that will perhaps one day revolutionize our understanding of the universe and life on our planet.The Swiss photographer Andri Pol mixed with this multicultural community of researchers and followed their work over an extended period of time.In doing so he created a unique portrait of this fascinating underworld.A" The cutting-edge research is given a human face and even if we don't fully understand the processes at work, the pictures allow us to perceive how in this world of the tiniest particles the biggest connections are searched for.With an explanatory text and scientific-philosophical essay.

Local Interest
Situated where salt and freshwater meet, where floods and fields ‘mingle parts’, Emily Hasler’s second collection exposes the dailiness of disaster to chart the constantly shifting courses of rivers and lives. Taking its name from the sections of libraries where much of Hasler’s research began, Local Interest maps the friable and slippery landscapes of south Suffolk and north Essex: estuaries and water meadows, coastal defences and disused decoys, possible futures and forgotten pasts. This is a book of habitats lost, created and threatened, teeming with plants, people, animals and ‘legless, uneyed life’.Here are promontories, precarity and potential; the first English sea battle and a forgotten stuntman; rare and familiar birds; a fish die-off and a vanished world; a historic earthquake and continuous erosion.Moments and millennia are as muddled as the elements.In these poems nothing is pure and everything is borrowed.Language is hybrid; poems are ‘stolen’ and ‘observed’.Local Interest questions boundaries and belonging, squinting at ideas of invasion and migration, borders and crossings.It asks what is ‘local’ and to whom; how we might celebrate dwelling while looking beyond permanence and ownership.This is poetry that wallows at the muddy edges of things, that asks you to follow it ‘through every breach that was and could be’.
