TL;DR: This paper traced the relationship between transcendental and practical freedom through all of Kant's writings (published works, lecture notes, etc.) and found that practical freedom can be recognized "through experience, as one of the natural causes".
Abstract: Kant writes at one point in the Critique of Pure Reason that practical freedom can be recognized "through experience, as one of the natural causes" (B 831). This claim appears to conflict with a central epistemological theme of his critical philosophy. This work responds by carefully tracing the details of the relationship between transcendental and practical freedom through all of Kant's writings (published works, lecture notes, etc.). Kant uses the term "practical freedom" in several quite different senses and draws on pre-critical theses to varying degrees. While the problematic text has long been noted, there has been no detailed study of its importance.

TL;DR: Disease Focused Posters as mentioned in this paper is a collection of graphical timelines that arrange the vast number of FDA approved pharmaceuticals according to a specific theme, which has the capacity to communicate a wealth of information that appeals to the educational desires of the public, from the nonscientist to the expert.
Abstract: Disease Focused Posters is a new, free, and readily accessible collection of graphical timelines that arrange the vast number of FDA approved pharmaceuticals according to a specific theme. Capitalizing on the elegance of structural imagery and the innovative functions of organic compounds, each poster (in its simplistic appearance) has the capacity to communicate a wealth of information that appeals to the educational desires of the public, from the non-scientist to the expert.

TL;DR: Information Experience brings together current thinking about the idea of information experience to help form discourse around it and establish a conceptual foundation for taking the idea forward.
Abstract: ""The German word for experience - Erlebnis - the experience of the life, to live through something - underpins this book: making visible scholarly opportunities for richer and deeper contextualizations and examinations of the lived-world experiences of people in everyday contexts as they be, do and become." (Ross Todd, Preface). Information experience is a burgeoning area of research and still unfolding as an explicit research and practice theme. This book is therefore very timely as it distils the reflections of researchers and practitioners from various disciplines, with interests ranging across information, knowledge, user experience, design and education. They cast a fresh analytical eye on information experience, whilst approaching the idea from diverse perspectives. Information Experience brings together current thinking about the idea of information experience to help form discourse around it and establish a conceptual foundation for taking the idea forward. It therefore "provides a number of theoretical lenses for examining people's information worlds in more holistic and dynamic ways." (Todd, Preface)."
