This volume explores how generative artificial intelligence is reshaping universities worldwide. Rather than focusing only on the technology, it shows how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how students learn, teachers teach, and institutions operate, while also being shaped by cultural values, educational traditions, and social expectations.Bringing together international case studies from regions including Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and the Global South, the book presents empirical evidence of AI integration across fields, from design studios in China to large-scale chatbot deployment in UK classrooms and creativity studies in Egypt and Iraq. These cases highlight both opportunities, such as personalised learning and increased engagement, and challenges, including academic integrity, inequality, and ethical concerns. It introduces new ways of understanding AI not just as a tool, but as part of the everyday infrastructure of higher education. Across disciplines ranging from business and programming to architecture and the creative arts, it shows how thoughtful design and cultural awareness are essential for effective use of AI.Accessible and forward-looking, this volume offers educators and policymakers a timely guide to the future of global higher education in the age of AI. It will also be of interest to researchers in education, digital humanities, and the social studies of technology.

This edited collection consolidates interdisciplinary research on artificial intelligence in higher education, foregrounding pedagogical practices across the social and hard sciences. While some chapters address generative AI, the volume intentionally adopts a broader AI lens to capture wider perspectives.Positioned as a timely interdisciplinary synthesis, the volume brings together research on the role of AI in teaching and learning in higher education. It balances chapters on generative AI with broader examinations of AI, ensuring that a range of perspectives are represented. By assembling insights from the social and hard sciences, the collection charts how pedagogical practices are being reconsidered, highlights convergences and contrasts across disciplines, and delineates open questions. Addressing a gap in the literature, it offers an integrated view of AI’s educational impact from multiple disciplinary vantage points, providing readers with a structured foundation for interdisciplinary understanding.This book will be invaluable for academics, educators and researchers in higher education, across the social and hard sciences, who are seeking interdisciplinary insight into the pedagogical implications of AI.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, Toronto’s Kensington Market neighbourhood has been home to a multicultural mosaic of immigrant communities: Jewish, Portuguese, Chinese, South Asian, Caribbean, and many others. Despite repeated transformations, the neighbourhood has never lost its vibrant, close-knit character.In Kensington Market, urban planner and public historian Na Li explores both the Market’s dynamic history and the ways in which planners can access the intangible collective memory that helps define neighbourhoods like it around the world. Through examinations of memorable Kensington landmarks such as the Kiev Synagogue, Hyman’s Bookstore, and United Bakers Dairy Restaurant, Li traces the connections between the Market’s built environment and the experiences of its inhabitants, providing a sterling example of how to map the intangible value of this national landmark.Li’s book will be a must-read for those fascinated with this iconic Toronto neighbourhood, as well as anyone with an interest in the role heritage and collective memory can play in urban planning.

This book covers both fundamental and practical aspects of chemical analysis: Data Process and Analysis; Chemical Equilibria and Volumetric titrations; Gravimetry; Spectrophotometry; Sample Preparation and Separation Methods in Quantitative Analysis.It was written with the rich tradition of teaching at Peking University College of Chemistry, and edited by an American professor who was personally sensitive to the needs of students learning science from traditional chemistry textbooks written in English. Many examples and illustrative problems in this text have been taken from previous textbooks by the Peking University Team Teaching Program. The book can be used as a starter in analytical chemistry which is fundamental and the base upon which chemistry is built. Traditional chapters of initial learning in analytical chemistry are included, such as volumetric, gravimetric and separation methods; the book also includes key chapters on problem solving relating to recent progress in analytical chemistry.
