Focus:
This unit explains the historical significance of Muhammad and the origins of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula. Students learn about the importance of the Koran and the Five Pillars of Islam. Students also learn about the achievements of Muslim scholars and artists and the growth of Muslim empires. The unit concludes with a brief account of the Crusades, the long series of wars during the Middle Ages in which European Christians attempted to retake control of the Holy Land and other formerly Christian territories in the Middle East.
The Teacher Guide provides detailed lesson plans for each Student Reader chapter, as well as activity page masters, assessments, additional activities (such as virtual field trips, simulations, or literary selections), and civics and arts connections to reinforce the lesson content.

Calculating Empires is a codex of technology and power which shows how the empires of past centuries are echoed in the technology companies of today. This detailed visual narrative extends over 24 meters and took almost four years to create, illustrating forms of communication, classification, computation and control with thousands of individually crafted drawings and texts that span centuries of conflicts, enclosures, and colonizations.
Calculating Empires proposes a slower way of reading, placing emerging technological devices and discoveries into a much longer historical and political context. This approach prioritizes complexity, reading across time and phenomena, and clustering movements together to see long-term patterns. One map reveals the multiplicity of our communication devices, interfaces, infrastructures, data practices, and computational architectures and hardware. The other map explores how these technologies are woven into social practices of classification and control: from prisons to policing, time to education, colonialism and economic production, to the multitude of military systems.
If the visitor reads the map from left to right, the story begins with the Earth and the exploitation of deep-time geological processes and ends with the decay of toxic electronic waste in the ground. But if the audience reads it from top to bottom, the story begins and ends with a human being. At the top is the human user, talking to the Echo and, at the same time, providing Amazon with valuable verbal response training data that it uses to refine its voice-activated artificial intelligence systems. At the bottom of the map is another human story: the entire history of human knowledge and culture, which is currently being extracted to train and optimize artificial intelligence systems.
The exhibition concludes in a cabinet of curiosities, an eclectic collection of books, devices, and ephemera spanning from 1500 to 2023, and a space to reflect. There are physical examples of the objects and books illustrated in the map room, exploring the relationships between classification, computation, and control, from early calculation machines to semiconductor chips.
The final space is a small library that invites visitors to read, reimagine, and write their own additions, revisions, and complications of history in the hand-made volumes. Any exhibition that spans centuries will necessarily be incomplete, impartial, and subjective: it can never be finished. So these maps are designed to be open to feedback, and to change over time.
Kate Crawford is a leading international scholar of artificial intelligence. She is a Research Professor at USC Annenberg in Los Angeles, a Senior Principal Researcher at MSR New York, and was the inaugural Visiting Chair for AI and Justice at the cole Normale Suprieure in Paris. Her latest book Atlas of AI won the Sally Hacker Prize, the ASSI&T Book Award, and was named one of the best books of the year by both the Financial Times and New Scientist. She has also created art installations and visual investigations which have been shown in more than a hundred exhibitions worldwide. Her project Anatomy of an AI System with Vladan Joler is in the permanent collection of MoMA in New York and the V&A in London, and was awarded the Design of the Year Award in 2019 and included in the Design of the Decades by the Design Museum of London. Her research and art collaboration with Trevor Paglen, Training Humans, premiered at Fondazione Prada's Osservatorio and won the Ayrton Prize from the British Society for the History of Science. She currently leads the Knowing Machines Project, a transatlantic research collaboration of scientists, artists and legal scholars that investigates training data. She was named on the TIME100 list in 2023 as one of the most influential people in AI.
Si no concibes un viaje a Nueva York sin una maana (o unas cuantas!) dedicada a las compras, en tu prxima visita a la ciudad te toca descubrir el Empire Outlets, el nuevo outlet de Staten Island.
As que prepara las bolsas: nos vamos a visitar el Empire Outlets en busca de descuentos y te contamos cmo incluirlo en tu viaje a Nueva York!
Otros outlets: Si lo prefieres, aqu te contamos cmo visitar los outlets de Woodbury Common y Jersey Gardens, y aqu, dnde comprar ropa en Nueva York.
Una de las ventajas del outlet de Staten Island es que llegar es facilsimo, ms que visitar otros outlets de Nueva York como Jersey Gardens. Y, adems, el trayecto es gratis!
Como comentbamos al principio, el Empire Outlets se inaugur hace relativamente poco (sobre todo teniendo en cuenta la pandemia de por medio) y todava no se han llenado todos los negocios.
Adems, podrs aprovechar para descubrir rincones cercanos del distrito de Staten Island, como Postcards, la escultura en recuerdo a las vctimas del 11-S, que est a menos de 10 minutos a pie.
Como el ferry de Staten Island sale del Distrito Financiero, puedes dedicar el mismo da a visitar el World Trade Center, pasear por Battery Park o descubrir Wall St, entre otros muchos planes.
Hola, Jordi! Efectivamente, son lneas de ferry distintas y, para ir al Empire Outlets despus de visitar la Estatua de la Libertad, primero tendris que subir al ferry de la Estatua y que os deje en Battery Park y, desde all, subir al ferry de Staten Island. Por suerte, los dos ferries estn muy cerca, pero s, tendris que hacer el trayecto de nuevo porque el ferry de la Estatua no va a Staten Island.
