Abstract

Repeating the title and bibliographic info here: I The Freelance Editor's Handbook: A Complete Guide to Making Your Business Thrive i , by Suzy Bills in consultation with Aaron Ostler (U of Calif. Something along the lines of "Freelance Experienced Copy Editor and Proofreader Improving Accuracy and Turnaround Times" (eighty-nine characters) or "Freelance Experienced Copy Editor Focusing on Clarity and Concision" (sixty-six characters). Unlike a certain European book reviewer - whose name and nationality here will go unmentioned - who claimed never to have read a book that he (or she) had been assigned to review on the grounds that doing so might jeopardize his (or her) objectivity, let me immediately place my book reviewing credibility on the line by establishing two relevant points, to wit: I am one of those individuals who must read (and at times reread) every word of any book I review before feeling comfortable about putting my thoughts about it on paper and - I will be frank - I wish that I had had the opportunity to read Suzy Bills's I The Freelance Editor's Handbook: A Complete Guide to Making Your Business Thrive i (or some of its many comprehensive insights) years ago.

Abstract

As an expert, Egilman had access to Lilly documents detailing how they would sell Zyprexa for every condition under the sun and hide the evidence of the dangers their cash cow posed. Gottstein made clear to Egilman what he needed to do in respect of the confidentiality order he'd signed to shore up both their positions. Despite intimations that Egilman would not do this, Gottstein subpoenaed the documents believing that he had kept to the letter of the law. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Broussard presents a transparent and comprehensible AI framework in the first section; readers with no coding foundation are able to receive some introductory programing knowledge. She also explains how data enhances our knowledge by highlighting the application of AI in data journalism. Broussard believes people working together with technology produce better outcomes, but another question arises from this argument: I when people engage with technology in valuation processes, are we any better at defining the "good" than AI is?.

Abstract

The fifth publication in the Getty Conservation Institute's (GCI) series, I The Artist's Materials i is dedicated to the American artist Sam Francis. In the case of Francis, the book makes accessible not only the beauty of what we see as the final image of the artwork, but also the fascinating complexity of what is behind it. It also contains archival photographs of the different studio settings where the artworks were created and of the materials used by Sam Francis as well as images of the artist at work, which, as we learn from the authors, are rare, since he didn't like very much to be observed while working.
