War, technology, anthropology
Technologies of the allied warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, such as remote-controlled drones and night vision goggles, allow the user to \"virtualize\" human targets. This coincides with increased civilian casualties and a perpetuation of the very insecurity these technologies are meant to combat. This concise volume of research and reflections from different regions across Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa, observes how anthropology operates as a technology of war. It tackles recent theories of humans in society colluding with imperialist claims, including anthropologists who have become involved professionally in warfare through their knowledge of \"cultures,\" renamed as \"human terrain systems.\" The chapters link varied yet crucial domains of inquiry: from battlefields technologies, military-driven scientific policy, and economic warfare, to martyrdom cosmology shifts, media coverage of \"distant\" wars, and the virtualizing techniques and \"war porn\" soundtracks of the gaming industry.

Combinatorial Number Theory
This volume contains selected refereed papers based on lectures presented at the \"Integers Conference 2011\", an international conference in combinatorial number theory that was held in Carrollton, Georgia, United States in October 2011. This was the fifth Integers Conference, held bi-annually since 2003. It featured plenary lectures presented by Ken Ono, Carla Savage, Laszlo Szekely, Frank Thorne, and Julia Wolf, along with sixty other research talks.
This volume consists of ten refereed articles, which are expanded and revised versions of talks presented at the conference. They represent a broad range of topics in the areas of number theory and combinatorics including multiplicative number theory, additive number theory, game theory, Ramsey theory, enumerative combinatorics, elementary number theory, the theory of partitions, and integer sequences.
