Digital practices are shaped by graphical representations that appear on the computer screen, which is the principal surface for designing, visualizing, and interacting with digital information. Before any digital image or graphical interface is rendered on the screen there is a series of layers that affect its visual properties. To discover such processes it is necessary to investigate software applications, graphical user interfaces, programming languages and code, algorithms, data structures, and data types in their relationship with graphical outcomes and design possibilities. This book studies interfaces as images and images as interfaces. It offers a comprehensible framework to study graphical representations of visual information. It explores the relationship between visual information and its graphical supports, taking into account contributions from fields of visual computing. Graphical supports are considered as material but also as formal aspects underlying the representation of digital images on the digital screen.

This textbook provides a comprehensive and reader-friendly introduction to the field of computational social science (CSS). Presenting a unified treatment, the text examines in detail the four key methodological approaches of automated social information extraction, social network analysis, social complexity theory, and social simulation modeling. This updated new edition has been enhanced with numerous review questions and exercises to test what has been learned, deepen understanding through problem-solving, and to practice writing code to implement ideas. Topics and features: contains more than a thousand questions and exercises, together with a list of acronyms and a glossary; examines the similarities and differences between computers and social systems; presents a focus on automated information extraction; discusses the measurement, scientific laws, and generative theories of social complexity in CSS; reviews the methodology of social simulations, covering both variable- and object-oriented models.

Can't wait for more Wordle? No problem! Here are five hundred word puzzles that use exactly the same skills. You can do them at your own pace, wherever you like. Suitable for all ages and skill levels. Puzzles are sorted by difficulty into Easy, Medium, Hard and Fiendish levels. Too easy? Move up a level! The puzzles in this book help you train analytical skills and improve mental agility. Each increasing difficulty level uses a more elaborate vocabulary and requires greater finesse to beat the game. Fiendish-level puzzles can be a real challenge, even for dedicated word gamers! Big, full-size 8.5" x 11" format means large, clear text and plenty of space on the page for your notes - no more squinting at small print. Ideal for vacations, road trips, or any time you just want to take a relaxing break from screen time. Play solo, or with friends and family. A great way to get kids thinking logically! Five letters of fun! Each puzzle has a five-letter word for you to figure out. Previous guesses display in the puzzle, showing whether their letters are in the target word. When there's enough information for a good player to figure out the answer, it's your turn! Gray letters in white squares aren't in the word at all, so you can eliminate them. White letters in gray squares are in the word, but are in the wrong position. White letters in black squares are in the correct position. Use the alphabet tracker to cross out the eliminated letters so you can identify the remaining candidates and figure out the answer. Hints guide you in the right direction. If there are multiple possible answers, the hint lets you know your answer is correct. Hints are not on the same page as the puzzle, so you can choose whether or not you want to use them. Write your answer in the blank boxes at the bottom! All the answers are listed in the back. Published in the USA.
