Mario Lavista
Authors: Alonso-Minutti Ana R. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Composer, pianist, editor, writer, and pedagogue Mario Lavista (1943–2021) was a central figure of the cultural and artistic scene in Mexico and one of the leading Ibero-American composers of his generation. His music is often described as evocative and poetic, noted for his meticulous attention to timbre and motivic permutation, and his creative trajectory was characterized by its intersections with the other arts, particularly poetry and painting. Understanding analysis as an affective practice, this study explores the intertextual connections between the multiple texts—musical or otherwise—that are present in Lavista’s music. It argues that, through adopting an interdisciplinary and transhistorical approach to music composition, Lavista forged a cosmopolitan imaginary to challenge imposed stereotypes of what Mexican music should sound like. This imaginary becomes a strategy of resistance against imperialist agendas placed upon postcolonial peripheries. Departing from traditional biographical and chronological frameworks that exalt masters and masterworks, this book offers a nuanced, personal narrative informed by conversations with composers, performers, artists, choreographers, poets, writers, and filmmakers. Implementing an innovative mosaic of methodologies, from archival work to musical and intertextual analysis, oral history, and (auto)ethnography, this book is the first to offer a contextual framing of Lavista’s career within a panoramic view of contemporary music practices in Mexico during the past fifty years.
Developmental Goals During Emerging Adulthood
Authors: Shulman Shmuel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Personal goals and plans direct individuals’ life paths by regulating their behavior and leading them through their own development. Young people often have a number of simultaneous goals, such as career and love; but less is known about how a person coordinates between different goals across the emerging adulthood years. Following emerging adults for a period of 12 years, they were asked to report on their main goals at ages 23, 26.5, 29, and 35. Findings suggest that successful progression toward transition to adulthood is facilitated by setting realistic goals and the ability to elaborate or readapt goals along the process and to find meaning in one’s selected goals. In contrast, ambiguous and inconsistent goals cannot lead to adaptive progression as the individual will flounder between different goals and tasks across time. The importance of goals in understanding inner lives and development is discussed.
Pathways of Career Pursuit—Consistency, Detours, Disappointments
Authors: Shulman Shmuel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Observation of the lives of many young people shows that they may move between transitory and inconsistent states, which leads to understanding and conceptualizing the 20s as a period of instability and extended exploration. Taking a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews, and following emerging adults for 12 years yielded different understandings. Reading career stories of emerging adults showed that the majority struggle to find their way in this changing world. A substantial number of young people did find their direction, achieved their goals despite difficulties and setbacks, and found their direction over the years. Even those who had difficulties pursuing and achieving their dream were still struggling to hold the jobs they did not necessarily like and to lead their lives. Only a small percentage lost their way. The majority were active and employed a variety of ways to navigate their lives.
Romantic Intimacy Statuses and Progress Toward the Future
Authors: Shulman Shmuel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Following participants until the age of 35 was helpful in shedding light on the ways that emerging adults progress (or not) in their romantic and family life. Reading their romantic life stories showed that toward the end of their 20s, more than half of participants were involved in a committed relationship. Achieving financial security was an important factor that helped these young people make the decision of romantic commitment and establishing a family. However, while an increasing number described themselves as being in an intimate committed relationship, for others commitment was not necessarily accompanied by intimacy. For some young adults the urge (and sometimes the pressure) to settle down might have led to compromising on a relationship that was not necessarily what they dreamed. In the following chapters on personality, an attempt is made to understand what prevents some individuals from establishing intimacy.
Career Pursuit and Romantic Investment
Authors: Shulman Shmuel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the earlier chapters it was shown that emerging adults tend to prioritize career over romantic investment. However, toward the later 20s and until the mid-30s, the majority learn how to balance career and family and described the centrality of career, as well as the increasing importance of family in their lives. Furthermore, in this process most young people change earlier perceptions of the essence of life and learn how to integrate the establishment of a family into center stage. The author describes how participants learned to appreciate the support and advice they received from their partners whom they trust highly implicitly. The incorporation of the family into the center of an individual’s life is more characteristic of the developmental process of men. For many women, family and children receive priority over career. Findings are discussed within the life-cycle and evolutionary theories.
Patterns of Mental Health During Emerging Adulthood and Their Association With the Success or Failure to Attain Developmental Tasks
Authors: Shulman Shmuel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Earlier research on the incidence and changes in mental health during emerging adulthood is inconclusive. Taking a developmental psychopathology perspective, the author shows that psychopathology is not unrelated to normative development. Based on the longitudinal data, the author shows the parallels between attainment of developmental tasks (in the domains of career and romantic relationships) and the course of depressive affect over this long period of time. Those who were successful in their career and established a stable and committed relationship reported a decrease in depressive affect over the years. In contrast, those who failed to develop a successful career or establish a stable relationship reported an increase in depressive affect. Employing an individual differences approach, three distinctive depressive trajectories were found: Stable Low, Intermediate and Decreasing, and Stable High. These trajectories mirror coping with developmental changes and are also associated with different future career, relationship, and psychological outcomes.
Emerging Adulthood Revisited
Authors: Shulman Shmuel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There is a dispute as to how to understand and conceptualize the instabilities of emerging adulthood. Unlike earlier approaches which took a “deficit” perspective, this book, based on a 12-year study, describes the active journey that young people might take and the ways they navigate through these years. This chapter summarizes the conceptual frameworks employed for understanding this journey. In line with developmental systems theory, the author describes how the unstable experiences, in fact, served as an arena for learning and progress. The author also shows that personality changes during the emerging adulthood years are part of a comprehensive process of progression toward stabilization. The chapter summarizes that periods of instabilities, and even regressions, during the emerging adulthood years can be part of developmental reorganization and might be aimed at finding and developing new forms of behavior that address the need and potential for change and growth.
Transparency
Authors: Dancy Tatiana 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
What do we need to know about an algorithm to justify using it to make decisions about how to treat others? In all cases, we need to know how accurate the algorithm is, and how it distributes the risk of error. If the prediction is about what the decision-subject will do, we also need to know which facts influence that output. We can assess the former statistically, by quantifying predictive accuracy across datasets. And we can assess the latter counterfactually, by adjusting inputs to isolate statistically significant variables. We do not need to ‘open the black box’, in the sense of unpacking the code itself.
Epilogue
Authors: McCallum Sarah L. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
By way of conclusion, the Epilogue turns to a preliminary consideration of the enduring influence exerted by Vergil’s intergeneric maius opus on subsequent Roman poets. The chapter presents two case studies in miniature on the reception of Vergilian intergeneric poetics in Statius’ depictions of Elegy and Venus in the epithalamium for L. Arruntius Stella (Stat. Silu. 1.2.1–23) and in Ovid’s epitaphic commemorations of Phaethon (Met. 2.325–38) and Caieta (Met. 14.441–45). By drawing attention to striking and suggestive evidence from these pivotal passages, the Epilogue lends impetus to further contemplation of the profound impact of Vergilian intergeneric poetics on the subsequent literary tradition.
The AI Military Race
Authors: Garcia Denise 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book examines the complexities of creating a global framework to govern the military use of artificial intelligence (AI) by proposing inclusive and humane ways to forge cooperation. Three novel humanist conceptions are introduced: common good governance, transnational networked cooperation, and humanity’s security. This book is the first to survey the threats to peace in the shifting world order by investigating the current patterns and trends in the global use of and investment in militarizing AI and the development of autonomous systems. The author weaves in an insider participant-observer focus on the decade-long, high-level diplomatic attempts to set limits on autonomy in weapon systems—known as “killer robots”—and offers a path for the creation of an international treaty on autonomous weapons. The absence of global norms on military AI and unrestrained autonomous killing will have a destabilizing impact on peace and security by weakening the prevailing international law and rules of peaceful multilateralism. The consequences will be imperiled peace and security, weakened international stability, and a precarious world order. The study draws on earlier successful cooperation and international law-making in several areas: nuclear and chemical weapons bans, the protection of outer space and the ozone, nuclear testing, the Arctic, Antarctica, and the oceans. It offers an appraisal of the way that previous successes in global cooperation can inform the formation of common good governance on AI that is respectful of future generations and protective of human dignity and humanity’s security.
Minimal Theism
Authors: Byerly T. Ryan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter articulates a simple and flexible way of conceptualizing God—minimal theism—that is useful for the argumentative purposes of the book concerning growth in virtue and flourishing for those with ambiguous evidence for belief in God. According to minimal theism, God is the one who is the ultimate source of contingent reality, who loves each human being as much as anyone does, and who benevolently bestows each of the goods of each human being’s life to them. Minimal theism is shown to be compatible with, but not to require, versions of perfect being theism, omniGod theism, Maximal God theism, deism, pan(en)theism, ultimism, and classical theism.
Family and Feuding at the Court of James I
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Lake and Cecil families became embroiled in a feud that rocked the court of King James I for several years. The families were connected through the marriage of Anne Lake and William Cecil, Lord Roos. The union soon faltered. In 1618, Lady Roos accused her husband’s step-grandmother, the countess of Exeter, of having an affair with Lord Roos and attempting to poison her. The countess of Exeter denied the charges and begged the king to intervene. The king investigated and referred the case to the court of Star Chamber, where both sides sued each other for slander. Soon politicians, servants, lawyers, foreign diplomats, ambitious career climbers, and others would get drawn into the maelstrom of the scandal. In Star Chamber, with King James as judge, the Lakes and Lady Roos lost and the countess of Exeter was vindicated. The Lake and Cecil scandal is one of several scandals at the court of King James. Although historians have studied other Jacobean court scandals, they have only briefly mentioned this episode. This book takes a longer perspective, investigating the entirety of the festering family feud for the first time. The men and women tell their own stories and explain the motivations for their actions. The focus remains on how people contextualized those stories, and why people reacted to them in the ways that they did. It provides a window into Jacobean England.
Meet the Families
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Lake and Cecil families were both powerful, but not equals. The Cecil family was an established, rich, and influential noble family by the Jacobean period. The Lake family were ambitious newcomers, who did not hold noble titles. The Cecil family rose to power during the Tudor period, especially under the rule of Elizabeth I, when William Cecil served as the queen’s closest and most significant adviser, receiving a noble title and wealth. Thomas Cecil, earl of Exeter, was William Cecil’s eldest son, although it was his half-brother Robert Cecil who had the most political power in the early reign of James I. Exeter’s young grandson, William Cecil, Lord Roos, spent significant time abroad on educational travels, which shaped his ideas and religion, politics, and culture. Reports about his problematic behavior while abroad made their way to England. While Roos was abroad, his grandfather remarried a woman nearly forty years his junior. Sir Thomas Lake came from humble origins, but worked his way up into the royal administration during the latter reign of Elizabeth and the beginning of King James. He and his ambitious wife had a large family, and strove to improve the family’s standing.
Tangled Estates
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When Roos left England illegally, he had taken cash and valuables with him, but made few other financial arrangements. His servants and debtors went unpaid. That meant that his wife, his in-laws, and his own family had to figure out what to do in his absence. They could not agree. The earl of Exeter and his son (Roos’s grandfather and father) accused the Lakes of tricking Roos and holding on to his property illegally. Lady Roos and her parents argued that Roos had deeded Walthamstow to his wife. After an interrupted attempt at mediation, the two sides went to court, utilizing Chancery as well as Star Chamber. Lake and Lady Roos tried to mend bridges by accusing bad servants of having caused the rift between the families, but the earl of Exeter did not agree with this construction: he blamed the Lakes directly. The main sources here are the legal records from the suits.
The Tales of the Summer of (Dis)content
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When the Lakes and Cecils could not solve their disputes, Lady Roos began to tell dark tales about her experiences living at the earl and countess of Exeter’s Wimbledon estate during the summer of 1616, before Roos’s Spanish embassy, the riot at Cannons, and Roos’s flight. Lady Roos claimed she had discovered that her husband and his young step-grandmother, the countess of Exeter, were having an incestuous affair. Under the guise of medical treatments, the countess attempted to poison her twice to keep her from revealing the affair. The countess denied both the adultery and the poisoning, and instead described herself as a generous hostess and a pleasant summer at the luxurious estate. The chapter uses later Star Chamber court records to reconstruct the versions of events by the two sides. It also analyzes the accusations and puts them into the early modern context, specifically focusing on ideas about illicit sex, poisoning, medical treatments, and medical knowledge and treatments by women.
The Scandal Breaks
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter outlines the scandal that breaks as Lady Roos began telling others of her harrowing summer at Wimbledon. She claimed that Luke Hatton, an Exeter servant, had warned her that the countess of Exeter again might try to poison both her and her father. Sir Thomas Lake informed the countess of Exeter of these charges, and the countess went straight to the king and denied them all. The king and Privy Council investigated the matter but could not get either side to back down. Instead, Lady Roos produced two written documents, one purporting to be a confession of the adultery and poisoning, and another supposedly written by Luke Hatton, reiterating the countess’s renewed plans of poisoning. This is the moment when Lady Roos’s accusations against the countess became public, and news writers and court observers were reacting to them with shock, disgust, disbelief, and mirth. The chapter outlines and explains the context of the public reactions. As the king and council failed to mediate, King James finally decided that the case should be decided in court. This chapter relies largely on letters from court observers and those involved in the case.
Trials and Verdicts
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The famous Lake-Exeter Star Chamber trials took up the entire Hilary term session in January and February 1619. King James had decided to sit as a judge in the trials, garnering even more public interest in the trials. It was only the second, and the last time, that James sat as a judge in Star Chamber. James liked to be viewed as the just and wise biblical king Solomon, and he believed that judging these cases would allow him to do so. He was convinced that Lady Roos and the Lakes were lying and had made up fraudulent documents. Remarkably, Lady Roos had secretly already confessed to the king before the trial began. Although the Star Chamber decisions, or witness depositions, do not survive, the trials were so closely followed by observers that it is possible to follow the action day-by-day using abstracts of testimony and letters describing the proceedings. The chapter also discusses the witnesses in the cases, many of whom were servants, and the evidence and counter evidence presented. James found the Lakes and Lady Roos guilty, and the countess of Exeter was completely cleared. The Lakes and Lady Roos were heavily fined and imprisoned. Sir Thomas Lake lost his position as secretary.
Aftermath
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter traces the lives of the earl and countess of Exeter and Lady Roos after the trials. The countess of Exeter was completely vindicated and welcomed at the royal court. The disagreements between the Lakes and the Exeters continued. The earl of Exeter sued the Lakes and Lady Roos to recoup Roos’s property he claimed they still held. The court records provide evidence of the continued ill feelings between the families. Lady Roos remarried to a man of significantly lower socioeconomic standing, but kept her name and title. She and her husband set about taking complete control of Walthamstow, suing the trustees that held it for her. Ultimately, Lady Roos managed to take control of the property and then deeded it to her husband. She had no children in her second marriage and died aged thirty in 1630. All the major players in the feud, except for the countess of Exeter and the Lady Lake, had died by the early 1630s. The countess of Exeter outlived them all for several decades.
Epilogue
Authors: Luthman Johanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The epilogue presents the historiography of the Lake-Cecil feud and scandals, from the seventeenth-century foundational accounts to the present. Previous writers have only produced very brief accounts, based on limited sources. As a result, many mistakes and errors have been perpetuated over the centuries. The epilogue also briefly presents the author’s conclusions about the accusations of adultery, attempted poisoning, and fraud. Lady Roos believed that the countess was guilty of at least stealing her husband’s love from her, if not outright adultery. Lady Lake was convinced of the same. Sir Thomas Lake had nothing to gain to sue the earl of Exeter and tried to avoid it. In the end, he chose to support his wife and daughter, to his own detriment. It is not clear that there was ever any poisoning. Lady Roos was guilty of fraud, assisting in the production of the countess’s alleged written confession and of the Exeter servant Luke Hatton’s written statement. She committed this fraud because she knew she had to have tangible proof for anyone to believe her, and she had none. Lord Roos has been curiously absent in older accounts of the feud, but he was the whole reason for it. His irresponsible behavior and flight made it very difficult for his family and in-laws to solve the dispute in his absence.

Abstract
The book presents a groundbreaking view of technology trends and their impact on society. It focuses mainly on the impact of Artificial Intelligence and human development through education and innovation. It introduces the waves of the Surreal Technological Progress during the Artificial Era, and announces a possible Artificial Cataclysm in the next years. There is an extensive debate about the positive and negative consequences of technological innovations. Thus, the book presents different opinions and statistics. It reviews concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligence in general. Besides, it explains why many countries are developing an Artificial Intelligence strategy, and how companies and startups can acquire the technology. It investigates why technological jobs are male-dominated in several regions of the world and its consequences for society, considering gender gaps and lack of diversity. It also reviews educational paradigms that might help human development. It finally explains the human motivation for prediction, presents opinions and predictions about the future, as well as possible strategies to cope with it in a highly automated world.
Phronesis in Professional (Medical) Ethics
Authors: Kristjánsson Kristján , Fowers Blaine J. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
‘Phronesis’ has become a buzzword in contemporary Professional Ethics. Yet the use of this term conceals a number of conceptual controversies. This chapter explores three of those divergences: on phronesis as universalist or relativist, generalist or particularist, and natural/painless or painful/ambivalent. It also, fourthly, reveals tensions between Alasdair MacIntyre’s take on phronesis and Aristotle’s original concept. Turning the lens specifically to Medical Ethics, the chapter offers those four binaries as a possible analytical framework to classify and evaluate accounts of phronesis in the Medical Ethics literature. It argues that to make sense of phronesis as a putative ideal in Professional Medical Ethics, the question of which conception of phronesis is most serviceable for that aim needs to be answered. The chapter identifies considerable lack of clarity in the current discursive field on phronesis within Professional Ethics, and it suggests how that shortcoming can be ameliorated by a retrieval of (neo)-Aristotelian phronesis.
