  • Traditional signal processing and machine learning methods rely on mean square error, which becomes brittle when data contains heavy-tailed noise, impulsive disturbances, and outliers—conditions frequently encountered in real-world applications. This comprehensive guidebook introduces correntropy-based methods that demonstrate superior robustness across diverse engineering domains, progressing from foundational concepts to applications. Authored by pioneers in information theoretic learning, the book systematically covers correntropy fundamentals, adaptive filtering techniques, neural network training, feature learning, and applications including point set registration, matrix completion, and federated learning. Each chapter balances rigorous theory with practical algorithms and performance comparisons against conventional methods. With implementation guidelines and a unified framework connecting different robust learning criteria, this book addresses the critical gap between Gaussian-assumption theory and non-Gaussian reality, providing researchers and graduate students with applicable solutions for challenging real-world problems.

  • We move through the world assuming our senses give us a stable, reliable picture of reality. Yet for those experiencing psychosis, that picture can fracture into illusions, vivid hallucinations, and distortions so powerful they blur the boundaries between the imagined and the real. In this illuminating book, one of the UK's leading psychiatrists, Professor Femi Oyebode, draws on real clinical stories, memoirs, fiction, ancient myths, and folklore, to show that these unusual experiences are not only clinically significant but also shape art, storytelling, and our understanding of consciousness. By tracing the deep links between the brain mechanisms that enable everyday perception and those that give rise to pathological experiences, this book shows what these disruptions can teach us about how we see, hear, and experience the world. Engaging, compassionate, and thought-provoking, this is essential reading for anyone curious about the mysteries of how our minds work.

  • Modern consumption is based on choice. But what if consumer choices are poorly informed, overly constrained, or subject to manipulation and other forms of undue influence? This book offers an original, autonomy-based account of consumer law, arguing that its core function is to facilitate reflective choices: choices consumers can reasonably endorse. Moving beyond predominant narratives, the book offers a comprehensive theory that reconceptualises fundamental tools of consumer law, including disclosure duties, advertising law, unfair terms control, remedies, and withdrawal rights. Combining abstract theory with comprehensive doctrinal analysis of EU consumer law, the book demonstrates how the quality of consumer choices can be improved at different stages of their market interactions with traders. The book confronts contemporary challenges related to digital consumer markets and demonstrates the limits of consumer law in addressing social inequality and environmental sustainability. It will interest everyone seeking understanding of how consumer law shapes modern market life.

  • As guardians of proper language, Language Academies have historically been widely recognised, quaint and emblematic institutions, but in recent years, have become subject to advances in influential language technologies. This turn towards digitalisation has many consequences for language, all of which we still do not fully understand. For schools, universities and speech communities, the future of language and languages is an area of particular concern. Language Academies are active institutions at the interface of culture, economy, politics, and law, and are rapidly developing within the intersections of history, science and technology. For linguists, the all-important question is of how the digital turn will affect the foundation of these establishments. Exploring the ideologies pursued by these organisations, this book establishes the relationship between state and language worldwide, focusing on similarities and differences within the consequences of digitalisation, and introduces readers to a prominent institution that originated in the European Renaissance.

Gender Functions
  • Why LGBTQ+ Gender Matters and How it Works

    31 December 2026
  • Centering voices from 25+ years of interview-based research, Gender Functions reveals enduring patterns that convey what gender entails and why LGBTQ+ genders matter. Throughout, people earnestly share how their gender identities are shaped and enacted, from across drag, butch, femme, bear, leather, transgender, nonbinary, and house/family communities. It illuminates how genders create new possibilities to be authentic in relationships, rather than viewing gender development as a project of adopting social norms. Chapters make evident the connections between gender norms, internal felt sense, gender identity, gender expression, and gendered sexuality-articulating the cyclical process through which genders continually evolve. The constructive functions of gender are showcased, making clear why gender serves people's needs and is vital across societies. Gender Functions takes readers on an interdisciplinary voyage through the evolution of LGBTQ+ genders, across diverse communities. This book considers pressing questions and politics. It pioneers a new pathway for developing transformative gender theory.

Politics, Grievances, and Protest
  • Student Movements in Latin America's Southern Cone

  • Politics, Grievances, and Protest draws on one hundred interviews and forty years of media coverage to provide a cross-national analysis of student mobilization in Latin America's Southern Cone. The book explains why student protests increased in Chile starting in the 2000s, while decreasing in neighboring Argentina and Uruguay. Its findings show that when democracies persistently ignore social demands, they may indirectly foster protest growth. In such contexts, the absence of meaningful change fuels anti-establishment grievances, encourages social movement innovation, and facilitates processes of radicalization that can spread widely. In contrast, state responsiveness often produces the opposite effect. These findings challenge long-standing theories that link relatively closed political systems and movement radicalization to decreased mobilization and suggest that grievances play a central role in shaping variation in protest activity. This is a Flip it Open title and may be available open access on Cambridge Core.

Rediscovering the 'Judge' of Israel in Judah's Bible
  • Origin, Transmission, and Reception

  • Why are the leaders of early Israel called 'Judges'? What does this institution refer to and where did it come from? How was it appropriated, transformed, and reconceptualized in the Hebrew Bible? To answer these questions, Julian Chike offers an analysis of new data, a re-evaluation of previous data in light of new data, and, more importantly, a new framework for using second millennium BCE sources from the ancient Near East to rediscover the 'Judge' of Israel in Judah's Bible. Rather than reflecting scribal invention or later borrowing, Chike proposes that the 'Judge' of Israel stands in cultural continuity with an ancient form of leadership called šāpitòum which stems from the Amorite world most clearly depicted in the Mari documents. The findings of this study invite a re-evaluation of compositional and historical claims surrounding Israel's origin stories and stimulate further conversation about Amorite relations to the inhabitants of early Israel.

The Alexander Romance in the Orthodox Slavic World

  • Alexander the Great is the only Classic hero whose exploits were widely known in the Slavic Middle Ages, mainly through the Greek Alexander Romance. At least two great groups of translations can be differentiated, one made in East Slavic and another one in South Slavic lands. The reasons behind these translations vary depending on the area, the time and the purpose. This book explores these translations by analysing almost fifty pre-seventeenth century manuscripts in Greek and Slavonic, as well as the relation of the Romance to all the other Classical and Biblical texts known in Slavonic in which Alexander was the main character. A detailed study of the manuscript evidence challenges current theories on the Slavic Alexanders, redating the translation of the earliest East version. It also presents new findings on scribal practices in the translation of non-canonical texts and a new understanding of paratactic scribal innovation.

The End of Cold War Solidarity
  • Mozambique and the Soviet Union in the Age of Decolonization

    31 December 2026
  • This innovative multi-archival study explores the myriad and unexpected connections between the USSR and Mozambique during the last decades of state socialism, decolonization and Cold War. Drawing on documents and oral histories in three languages, Elizabeth Banks explores how leaders, bureaucrats, and ordinary citizens used diplomacy, culture, fishing, debt, trade, and delegation exchange to build Mozambican-Soviet connections throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Socialist connections like these played a key role in the process of post-colonial state-building, and fundamentally shaped the lives of individuals in the second half of the twentieth century. As Banks shows, symbolic promises of solidarity wrestled with shared material constraints to render visible international connections more valuable. These same dynamics helped cement credit relations as the core of Soviet development provision during late socialism, ultimately undermining the struggle for alternative forms of economic sovereignty during decolonization.

Seeking Anticolonial Synergies
  • The Promises and Paradoxes of Decolonizing Higher Education

    31 December 2026
  • How can universities meaningfully confront their colonial legacies without reproducing new divisions or empty gestures? This book offers a timely and original response by rethinking decolonization in higher education through the lens of anticolonial synergy, relational ethics, and coalitional politics. Bringing critical traditions into dialogue – such as decolonial theory, intersectionality, and critical social thought – Michalinos Zembylas shows how tensions around land, knowledge, identity, and justice can become productive rather than paralyzing. Structured in two parts, it first develops a conceptual framework for working across difference and then applies it through close engagement with influential anticolonial thinkers including Frantz Fanon, Amílcar Cabral, Enrique Dussel, and María Lugones. Grounded in real-world examples from universities in Europe, North America, and beyond, the text combines theoretical depth with practical relevance. It is essential reading for scholars, educators, students, and university leaders, seeking more just, solidaristic, and politically grounded futures for higher education.

A Right Not a Privilege
  • The Suffrage in the Post-Civil War United States

  • Americans consider voting a right. But for much of United States history, voting has been a privilege granted by the states, and not the federal government. In this important and timely book, Nicole Etcheson reveals how the Civil War dramatically changed suffrage rights. The post-Civil War period saw failed efforts to disfranchise former Confederates. Black men took the opportunity to capitalize on their loyalty and military service to win the vote, but were undermined by violence, fraud, and eventually legal disfranchisement. For women, the Civil War did not advance the women's campaign for suffrage but instead impeded it. This book insightfully weaves together these three movements, revealing how each measured its suffrage claims against those of others, and highlighting the limited role of federal authority over voting rights during this pivotal period.

  • The first quarter of the 21st Century was a difficult period. it covers the last few years of the Great Moderation but then the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, followed by the shocks to the world economy caused by the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Written by a team of leading economists, Experiences of Monetary Policy provides a wide-ranging perspective on the evolution of monetary policy over this period in response to these developments, in general and with particular reference to some of the world's most important economies – both advanced economies and the emerging economies of China, India, Mexico, South Africa and Türkiye. It analyses what policies worked and what did not, and why. The Afterword includes a discussion on how monetary policy might develop in the future, in the light of the actions of the Trump administration in the US in its first year.

  • This practical guide demonstrates the use of methods to analyze sequential data, from basic standard methods to advanced novel techniques, all in the setting of an accessible, intuitive view of underlying statistical theory. The book reveals the unappreciated limitations of standard methods and shows how simple new viewpoints can overcome these obstacles and open up novel opportunities for discovery. Readers, from beginning students of astronomy, physics, statistics, and other technical subjects, to seasoned practitioners in these fields, are invited to use thought-provoking exercises to delve deeper into important topics without resorting to mindless calculations. Several case studies are included – not only to point out the end results, but to illustrate how the scientific process is actually carried out in practice. Scargle, a well-known pioneer in the field, shares his decades of experience to demonstrate improvements and extensions of classical techniques and discourage uncritical use of 'black box' analyses.

  • From graphene to topological insulators, Dirac and Weyl semimetals to bosonic systems, Dirac matter unifies the physics of emergent quasiparticles in condensed matter. This book develops a unified framework of Dirac matter based on Dirac equation – originally conceived for electrons – and how it governs the behaviour of excitations in quantum materials and artificial metamaterials. The text explores the universal properties of Dirac matter, from symmetry-protected nodes and topological invariants to interaction effects and impurity resonances. Besides an in-depth introduction into key theoretical concepts and methods, it also provides a review of state-of-the-art research on Dirac matter using real-world examples. A broad perspective coupled with a unified framework allows readers to explore the connections between a variety of ongoing, active research fields. The book is ideal for graduate students and researchers, providing a cohesive and modern guide to one of physics' most dynamic frontiers.

  • William J. Courtenay charts how the Faculty of Theology at the University of Paris took shape in the latter half of the twelfth century and developed into a leading intellectual authority in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Beginning with an examination of the origins and scope of the privileges that defined the Parisian scholarly community, this work traces how theology masters came to adjudicate questions of orthodoxy arising from the lectures and writings of arts masters, Bachelors of Theology, and works submitted to them for judgment, including those of Hildegard of Bingen and the Talmud. As the faculty's authority grew, its reputation became a resource in the political struggles of Philip the Fair in conflicts with Pope Boniface VIII and in the suppression of the Templars. The papal countermeasures to these royal interventions gave rise to benefice-supplication rolls – an institutional development that reshaped university finance in the fourteenth century.

The Science Divide

  • Global issues, such as worsening climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought the clash between scientific experts and the broader voting public into stark relief. While experts perceive a 'war on science' that threatens truth and logic itself, many others perceive an elite effort to impose its will on the remainder of society. The Science Divide considers the issue of science and democracy in three societies-the United States, Sweden, and Japan-looking closely at pandemic and climate questions. The book also considers the Trump Administration's clash with academia and the emerging AI problem. Timely and comprehensive, The Science Divide is a key resource for anyone concerned about the fate of our scientific establishments and the future of our democracies.
