Doctrine and Debate in the East Christian World 300–1500 The reign of Constantine (306-37) the starting point for the series in which this volume appears saw Christianity begin its journey from being just one of a number of competing cults to being the official religion of the Roman/Byzantine Empire. The involvement of emperors had the perhaps inevitable result of a preoccupation with producing promoting and enforcing a single agreed version of the Christian creed. Under this pressure Christianity in the East fragmented into different sects disagreeing over the nature of Christ but also in some measure seeking to resist imperial interference and to elaborate Christianities more reflective of and sensitive to local concerns and cultures. This volume presents an introduction to and a selection of the key studies on the ways in which and means by which these Eastern Christianities debated with one another and with their competitors: pagans Jews Muslims and Latin Christians. It also includes the iconoclast controversy which divided parts of the East Christian world in the seventh to ninth centuries and devotes space both to the methodological tools that evolved in the process of debate and the promulgation of doctrine and to the literary genres through which the debates were expressed.

Doctrine and Ethos in the Labour Party First published in 1979. In this important study of Labour Party ideology the author sought to provoke his readers to a fundamental re-evaluation of the party and of the relationships between the party Labour ideology and socialist doctrine. What he had to say would have disturbed left and right wings alike within the party while remaining accessible to students and general readers at all levels who have an interest in the considered analysis of British politics and the concept of ideology.

Doctrine and Reform in the British Cavalry 1880–1918 A prevalent view among historians is that both horsed cavalry and the cavalry charge became obviously obsolete in the second half of the nineteenth century in the face of increased infantry and artillery firepower and that officers of the cavalry clung to both for reasons of prestige and stupidity. It is this view commonly held but rarely supported by sustained research that this book challenges. It shows that the achievements of British and Empire cavalry in the First World War although controversial are sufficient to contradict the argument that belief in the cavalry was evidence of military incompetence. It offers a case study of how in reality a practical military doctrine for the cavalry was developed and modified over several decades influenced by wider defence plans and spending by the experience of combat by Army politics and by the rivalries of senior officers. Debate as to how the cavalry was to adjust its tactics in the face of increased infantry and artillery firepower began in the mid nineteenth century when the increasing size of armies meant a greater need for mobile troops. The cavalry problem was how to deal with a gap in the evolution of warfare between the mass armies of the later nineteenth century and the motorised firepower of the mid twentieth century an issue that is closely connected with the origins of the deadlock on the Western Front. Tracing this debate this book shows how despite serious attempts to ’learn from history’ both European-style wars and colonial wars produced ambiguous or disputed evidence as to the future of cavalry and doctrine was largely a matter of what appeared practical at the time.

Document and Image Compression Although it's true that image compression research is a mature field continued improvements in computing power and image representation tools keep the field spry. Faster processors enable previously intractable compression algorithms and schemes and certainly the demand for highly portable high-quality images will not abate. Document and Image Compression highlights the current state of the field along with the most probable and promising future research directions for image coding.Organized into three broad sections the book examines the currently available techniques future directions and techniques for specific classes of images. It begins with an introduction to multiresolution image representation advanced coding and modeling techniques and the basics of perceptual image coding. This leads to discussions of the JPEG 2000 and JPEG-LS standards lossless coding and fractal image compression. New directions are highlighted that involve image coding and representation paradigms beyond the wavelet-based framework the use of redundant dictionaries the distributed source coding paradigm and novel data-hiding techniques. The book concludes with techniques developed for classes of images where the general-purpose algorithms fail such as for binary images and shapes compound documents remote sensing images medical images and VLSI layout image data. Contributed by international experts Document and Image Compression gathers the latest and most important developments in image coding into a single convenient and authoritative source.

Documentary Performance and Risk Documentary Performance and Risk explores how some of the most significant recent American feature documentaries use performance to dramatically animate major categories of risk. The fact that these documentaries do rely on such performance is revealing both in terms of trends in American feature documentary and in relation to the currency of ideas about risk in contemporary Western societies. The book takes a detailed look at the performance of risk and demonstrates the rewards of close critical attention to formal composition and performance. Covering An Inconvenient Truth Super Size Me Capitalism: A Love Story and Jackass: The Movie it explores how these high-profile films offer up compelling narratives and images of individuals ‘acting on risk’. The films seek to both confront and control the contours of their environments in ways that reveal much about how a particular set of beliefs about risk and the individual have come to inform our lives. This wide-ranging analysis of feature documentary is ideal for scholars and postgraduate students studying documentary film film and media studies.

Documentary World History and National Power in the PRCGlobal Rise in Chinese Eyes Documentaries have recently become a favourite format for Chinese state-directed media to present an officially sanctioned view of history. Indeed this is not confined to Chinese national history. In stark contrast to the earlier self-centred preoccupation with Chinese history there has been an upsurge in interest in foreign history with a view to illuminating China’s role not only in world history but also on the global stage today and in the future. This book examines three recent Chinese documentary television series which present the officially sanctioned view of the rise of the modern West the reasons for the end of the Soviet Union and the legitimisation of the present-day Chinese government via a specific reading of modern Chinese history to argue for a ‘Chinese rise’ in the future. With a focus on these documentaries Gotelind Müller discusses how history is presented on screen and explores the function of visual history for memory culture and wider society. Further this book reveals how the presentation of Chinese and foreign history in a global framework impacts on the officially transmitted views on Self and Other and thus provides a keen insight into how the Chinese themselves regard their ‘global rise’. Documentary World History and National Power in the PRC will be welcomed by students and scholars working across a number of fields including Chinese studies East Asian studies media studies television studies history and memory studies.

Documentary Film Documentary film is cinema’s oldest form dating back to the medium’s invention at the turn of twentieth century. From cinema’s earliest days important documentary films and film-makers have emerged continuously and today interest in documentary film remains substantial and is rapidly growing. Standing conferences have been instituted and new scholarly journals and festivals devoted to the genre are blossoming. Indeed documentary film culture flourishes particularly in the developing world and in non-democratic states. China’s burgeoning underground documentary film movement for example has garnered much critical attention in recent years. Documentary Film is a new title in Routledge’s Major Works series Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies. It meets the need for an authoritative reference work to enable users to navigate and make sense of the subject’s large literature and the continuing explosion in research output.

Documentary Film in IndiaAn Anthropological History This book maps a hundred years of documentary film practices in India. It demonstrates that in order to study the development of a film practice it is necessary to go beyond the classic analysis of films and filmmakers and focus on the discourses created around and about the practice in question. The book navigates different historical moments of the growth of documentary filmmaking in India from the colonial period to the present day. In the process it touches upon questions concerning practices and discourses about colonial films postcolonial institutions independent films filmmakers and filmmaking the influence of feminism and the articulation of concepts of performance and performativity in various films practices. It also reflects on the centrality of technological change in different historical moments and that of film festivals and film screenings across time and space.Grounded in anthropological fieldwork and archival research and adopting Foucault’s concept of ‘effective history’ this work searches for points of origin that creates ruptures and deviations taking distance from conventional ways of writing film histories. Rather than presenting a univocal set of arguments and conclusions about changes or new developments of film techniques the originality of the book is in offering an open structure (or an open archive) to enable the reader to engage with mechanisms of creation engagement and participation in film and art practices at large. In adopting this form the book conceptualises ‘Anthropology’ as also an art practice interested through its theoretico-methodological approach in creating an open archive of engagement rather than a representation of a distant ‘other’. Similarly documentary filmmaking in India is seen as primarily a process of creation based on engagement and participation rather than a practice interested in representing an objective reality.Proposing an innovative way of perceiving the growth of the do Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367891565

Documentary Vanguards in Modern Theatre Practitioners and critics alike often attribute great authenticity to documentary theatre casting it as a salutary alternative not only to corporate news outlets and official histories but also to the supposed "self-indulgence" and "elitism" of avant-garde theatre. Documentary Vanguards in Modern Theatre by contrast argues for treating documentarians as vanguardists who (for good or ill) push remap or transgress the margins of historical and political visibility often taking issue with professional discourses that claim a monopoly on authoritative representations of the real. This is the first book to situate documentary theatre’s development within the larger story of theatrical experimentalism collage art collective ritual and other avant-garde dramaturgical and performance practices of the late 19th and 20th Centuries.

Documentary's Awkward TurnCringe Comedy and Media Spectatorship Despite the prominence of "awkwardness" as cultural buzzword and descriptor of a sub-genre of contemporary film and television comedy it has yet to be adequately theorized in academic film and media studies. Documentary’s Awkward Turn contributes a new critical paradigm to the field by presenting an analysis of awkward moments in documentary film and other reality-based media formats. It examines difficult and disrupted encounters between social actors on the screen between filmmaker and subject and between film and spectator. These encounters are of course often inter-connected. Awkward moments occur when an established mode of representation or reception is unexpectedly challenged stalled or altered: when an interviewee suddenly confronts the interviewer when a subject who had been comfortable on camera begins to feel trapped in the frame when a film perceived as a documentary turns out to be a parodic mockumentary. This book makes visible the ways in which awkwardness connects and subtends a range of transformative textual strategies political and ethical problematics and modalities of spectatorship in documentary film and media from the 1970s to the present.

DocumentaryWitness and Self-Revelation Digital technologies have transformed documentary for both filmmakers and audiences. Documentary: Witness and Self-Revelation takes an audience-centred approach to documentary arguing that everyday experiences of what it feels like to film and to be filmed have developed a new sophistication and skepticism in today’s viewers. The book argues that documentary has developed a new third phase of its century long history: films now tend to document the encounters between filmers and the filmed. But what do we really know about those encounters? The author’s extensive experience of documentary production practice also enables him to examine technological changes in detail. Innovations in technology can seem to offer greater realism but can at the same time frustrate attempts to achieve it. John Ellis therefore proposes the idea of ‘Slow Film’ as an antidote to the problems of increasing speed brought about by easy digital editing. This book is ideal for students studying film media studies and visual culture. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415574198

Documenting Christianity in Egypt Sixth to Fourteenth Centuries The nineteen studies in this volume produced over the last fifteen years cover three areas in Christian Egypt's long and enduring history. First are eight papers dealing with record-keeping in both of the Christian Egyptian culture-carrying languages of late antiquity Coptic and Greek showing how these languages were used pragmatically and interactively to embody everyday transactions and messages. Then come five studies of a major sixth-century thinker and theologian John Philoponus who contributed greatly to the self-definition of the non-Chalcedonian Egyptian church and employed both classical philosophy and biblical exegesis to provide his fellow Miaphysites with needed intellectual tools. Finally there are six articles ranging from sixth-century philosophy poetry and liturgy to the cultural productions of Egyptian Christians living under Muslim rule including how they sought to memorialize traditions and deal with internal conflict.

Documenting Taiwan on FilmIssues and Methods in New Documentaries To date there is but a handful of articles on documentary films from Taiwan. This volume seeks to remedy the paucity in this area of research and conduct a systematic analysis of the genre. Each contributor to the volume investigates the various aspects of documentary by focusing on one or two specific films that document social political and cultural changes in recent Taiwanese history. Since the lifting of martial law documentary has witnessed a revival in Taiwan with increasing numbers of young independent filmmakers covering a wide range of subject matter in contrast to fiction films which have been in steady decline in their appeal to local Taiwanese viewers. These documentaries capture images of Taiwan in its transformation from an agricultural island to a capitalist economy in the global market as well as from an authoritarian system to democracy. What make these documentaries a unique subject of academic inquiry lies not only in their exploration of local Taiwanese issues but more importantly in the contribution they make to the field of non-fiction film studies. As the former third-world countries and Soviet bloc begin to re-examine their past and document social changes on film the case of Taiwan will undoubtedly become a valuable source of comparison and inspiration. These Taiwanese documentaries introduce a new Asian perspective to the wealth of Anglo-American scholarship with the potential to serve as exemplar for countries undergoing similar political and social transformations.　 Documenting Taiwan on Film is essential reading for all those interested in Taiwan Studies film studies and Asian cinema.

Documenting the Beijing Olympics This book focuses on the processes of documenting the Beijing Olympics – ranging from the visual (television and film) to radio and the written word – and the meanings generated by such representations. What were the ‘key’ stories and how were they chosen? What was dramatised? Who were the heroes? Which ‘clashes’ were highlighted and how? What sorts of stories did the notion of ‘human interest’ generate? Did politics take a backseat or was the topic highlighted repeatedly? Thus the focus was not on the success or failure of this event but on the ways in which the Olympics Games as international and historic events are memorialised by observers. The key question that this book addresses is: How far would the Olympic coverage fall into the patterns of representation that have come to dominate Olympic reporting and what would China as a discursive subject bring to these patterns? This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138880573

Documenting the Visual Arts Bringing together an international range of scholars as well as filmmakers and curators this book explores the rich variety in form and content of the contemporary art documentary. Since their emergence in the late 1940s as a distinct genre documentaries about the visual arts have made significant contributions to art education public television and documentary filmmaking yet they have received little scholarly attention from either art history or film studies. Documenting the Visual Arts brings that attention to the fore. Whether considering documentaries about painting sculpture photography performance art site-specific installation or fashion the chapters of this book engage with the key question of intermediality: how film can reframe other visual arts through its specific audio-visual qualities in order to generate new ways of understanding those arts. The essays illuminate furthermore how art documentaries raise some of the most critical issues of the contemporary global art world specifically the discourse of the artist the dynamics of documentation and the visuality of the museum. Contributors discuss documentaries by filmmakers such as Frederick Wiseman Lynn Hershman Leeson Jia Zhangke and Trisha Ziff and about artists such as Michael Heizer Ai Weiwei Do Ho Suh and Marina Abramović. This collection of new international and interdisciplinary scholarship on visual art documentaries is ideal for students and scholars of visual arts and filmmaking as well as art history arts education and media studies.

Documenting World PoliticsA Critical Companion to IR and Non-Fiction Film As a central component of contemporary culture films mirror and shape political debate. Reflecting on this development scholars in the field of International Relations (IR) increasingly explore the intersection of TV series fiction film and global politics. So far however virtually no systematic scholarly attention has been given to documentary film within IR. This book fills this void by offering a critical companion to the subject aimed at assisting students teachers and scholars of IR in understanding and assessing the various ways in which documentary films matter in global politics. The authors of this volume argue that much can be gained if we do not just think of documentaries as a window on or intervention in reality but as a political epistemology that – like theories – involve particular postures strategies and methodologies towards the world to which they provide access. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations popular culture and world politics and media studies alike.

Documents Concerning Central Europe from the Hospital’s Rhodian Archives 1314–1428 Documents Concerning Central Europe from the Hospital’s Rhodian Archives 1314–1428 brings together over 450 texts concerning the Hospitallers during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. These texts are crucial sources for understanding the history of the Hospitallers between 1314 and 1428. Whilst some Hospitaller charters and letters have been published elsewhere few scholarly editions contain enough sources to permit close analysis of the language and contents of these documents. Moreover most previous editions focus on certain geographical areas such as Cyprus Rhodes and the Aegean Islands. In contrast this book is the first of its kind to focus on central Europe. It brings together 460 texts dated between 1314 to 1428 and two from 1461. This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval history and the history of Central Europe as well as those interested in the legal structures and personal networks within the Order of St. John.

Documents Relating to Anson's Voyage Round the World 1740-1744 Ghost-writing is not a twentieth Century invention. In this volume for the Navy Records Society Dr Williams revealed that the classic best-seller ‘A Voyage round the World by George Anson‘ purportedly written by Anson’s chaplain Richard Walter had in fact been ghost-written by Benjamin Robins a man who had not sailed on the voyage. Describing the ‘Walter narrative’ Dr Williams wrote: ‘In substance it was Anson’s account ghosted for him by an accomplished writer and it should be regarded as an apologia for Anson’s own conduct rather than as an impartial memoir’. No student of Anson’s epic voyage can ignore this NRS study which looks in detail at the origins of the voyage its preparations and preliminary activities the first stage of the voyage round Cape Horn the second stage across the Pacific to Macao the capture of the Spanish treasure galleon from Acapulco Anson’s triumphal homecoming and the populist welcome given to the procession of thirty-two waggons laden with treasure on its journey from Portsmouth to London. Dr Williams also examined the historical significance of the Voyage. Was it a throwback to the privateering days of Drake or should it be interpreted in the light of the subsequent development of the worldwide British Empire? ‘The documents printed here’ according to Dr Williams ‘show that the discussions about the projected Pacific expeditions in 1739 were dominated by men who were looking to the future.’ Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781911423386

Documents Relating to the Civil War1642-1648 In the struggle between King and Parliament (1642-1648) naval power played a decisive role. Although the first two Stuart Kings took a keen and practical interest in the Navy -building ships repairing shipyards raising money though the controversial Ship Money taxation – ordinary seamen in the service of the monarch frequently found themselves without pay food or shelter. So when it came to choosing sides between King and Parliament the sailors chose Parliament. This enabled the Earl of Warwick Parliament’s principal naval commander to control the outer lines of communication supplying troops food and munitions to the ports of Hull Plymouth Lyme Regis and Milford to prevent their surrender to the besieging Royalists. The struggles for these ports in turn became the key to Parliament’s military success in the North and West. This command of the sea also excluded Charles from his capital the great port and commercial centre of London forcing him to make his headquarters in the far less commercially and politically important city of Oxford. The documents in this volume are arranged in chapters on a year by year basis. The editors have supplied a useful Introduction to each of the chapters from 1642 to 1648.

Documents relating to the Naval Air Service1908-1918 The documents in this large volume describes the earliest beginnings of naval aviation when the potential of airpower became apparent to both military and naval men. The documents are largely from the National Archives with a small minority from personal collections in repositories such as Kings College London and the National Maritime Museum. During the years after 1906 technical development was very rapid. The new machines had to be weighed against the possibilities afforded by naval airships. From May 1912 air service was the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps. Eleven months after the outbreak of the First World War the Admiralty turned it into the Royal Naval Air Service. Though the role of the aeroplane in naval operations in the First World War was limited technical development continued. Successful flights from warships made it certain that the aircraft would replace the seaplane as the principal heavier-than-air craft. A majority of the First World War documents record the administrative battle for the control of the Naval Air Service. On 1 April 1918 the Naval Air Service was after eighteen months of heated debate amalgamated with the Royal Flying Corps to form the Royal Air Force. The naval units of the RAF came to be called the ‘Fleet Air Arm’ from 1924. In 1937 the government announced that full administrative control of the Fleet Air Arm was to return to the Admiralty. A second volume of documents for this period is in active preparation. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781911423423

Does Aid Work in India?A Country Study of the Impact of Official Development Assistance Much about India's economy and aid flows has changed in the last two decades. India's growth rate has quickened since economic liberalisation the poverty head count has fallen and the volume and composition of its aid have changed as new issues of climate change and the environment have emerged..Yet Does Aid Work in India? first published in 1990 remains of great interest as a study of aid effectiveness in India's pre-liberalisation era. It identifies those sectors where aid-funded interventions succeeded and where they failed. It explains how India avoided problems of aid dependence and managed the political tensions that are associated with aid policy dialogue. More generally it contains a useful commentary on and criticism of donors' aid evaluation procedures at that time and it highlights donor efforts in the difficult area of institution building. Despite the passage of time many of the insights from India's earlier experience remain highly relevant to key issues of development assistance today.

Does Everyone Want Democracy?Insights from Mongolia Do all people desire democracy? For at least a century the idea that democracy is a universal good has been an article of faith for American policy makers. Paula Sabloff challenges this conventional wisdom about who wants democracy and why. Arguing that certain universal human aspirations exist she shows how local realities are highly particularistic and explains that culture history and values are critical to the study of political systems. Her fascinating study of Mongolia—feudal until it became the first country to follow Russia into communism and now struggling with post-socialist democratization—is a model for investigating how everyday people around the world actually think about and implement democracy on their own terms.

Does God Exist?The Craig-Flew Debate This book presents the most recent debates by leading contemporary philosophers of enduring themes and issues concerning the question of God's existence. William Craig and Antony Flew met on the 50th anniversary of the famous Copleston/Russell debate to discuss the question of God's existence in a public debate. The core of this book contains the edited transcript of that debate. Also included are eight chapters in which other significant philosophers - Paul Draper R. Douglas Geivett Michael Martin Keith Parsons William Rowe William Wainwright Keith Yandell and David Yandell - critique the debate and address the issues raised. Their substantial and compelling insights complement and further the debate helping the reader delve more deeply into the issues that surfaced. In the two final chapters Craig and Flew respond and clarify their positions taking the debate yet one step further. The result of these many contributions is a book which provides the reader with a summary of the current discussion and allows one to enter into the dialogue on this central question in the philosophy of religion.

Does God Matter?Essays on the Axiological Consequences of Theism Does God Matter? features eleven original essays written by prominent philosophers of religion that address this very important yet surprisingly neglected question. One natural way to approach this question is to seek to understand what difference God’s existence would—or does—make to the value of the world and the well-being of its inhabitants. The first essay sets the stage for the discussion of this topic. The three essays in Section I defend versions of pro-theism: the view that God’s existence would -- or does -- make things better than they would otherwise be. The four essays in Section II defend anti-theism: the view that God’s existence would or does make things worse than they would otherwise be. The three essays in Section III consider the interplay between the existential and axiological debates concerning the existence of God. This book presents important research on a growing topic in philosophy of religion that will also be of keen interest to scholars working in other areas of philosophy (such as metaphysics epistemology and value theory) and in other disciplines (such as religious studies and analytic theology).

Does Quality Pay?Benefits of Attending a High-Cost Prestigious College Previous research has generally shown a very small although statistically significant economic benefit from attending high-quality colleges. This small effect was at odds with what students' college choice and various social theories would seem to suggest. This study sought to reconcile the empirical evidence and theories. The effort was in two directions. First the economic effect of college quality was expanded from examining only the economic benefit to considering other student outcomes including job satisfaction and graduate degree accomplishment. A new perspective regarding the social role of college quality was offered in conclusion. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203943328

Does Religious Education Have a Future?Pedagogical and Policy Prospects The place of religion in the modern world has changed significantly over the past two decades. This has been partially reflected in the academic study of religion but little if at all in religious education.

Does the Pro-Life Worldview Make Sense?Abortion Hell and Violence Against Abortion Doctors This book looks at a family of views involving the pro-life view of abortion and Christianity. These issues are important because major religious branches (for example Catholicism and some large branches of Evangelicalism) and leading politicians assert or are committed to the following: (a) it is permissible to prevent some people from going to hell (b) abortion prevents some people from going to hell and (c) abortion is wrong. They also assert or are committed to the following: (d) it is permissible to use defensive violence to prevent people from killing innocents (e) doctors who perform abortions kill innocents and (f) it is wrong to use defensive violence against doctors who perform abortions. Stephen Kershnar argues that these and other principles are inconsistent. Along the way he explores the ways in which theories of hell right forfeiture and good consequences relate to each other and the above inconsistencies.

Doing Anthropology in Consumer Research Doing Anthropology in Consumer Research is the essential guide to the theory and practice of conducting ethnographic research in consumer environments. Patricia Sunderland and Rita Denny argue that while the recent explosion in the use of “ethnography” in the corporate world has provided unprecedented opportunities for anthropologists and other qualitative researchers this popularization too often results in shallow understandings of culture divorcing ethnography it from its foundations. In response they reframe the field by re-attaching ethnography to theoretically robust and methodologically rigorous cultural analysis. The engrossing text draws on decades of the authors’ own eclectic research—from coffee in Bangkok and boredom in New Zealand to computing in the United States—using methodologies from focus groups and rapid appraisal to semiotics and visual ethnography. Five provocative forewords by leaders in consumer research further push the boundaries of the field and challenge the boundaries of academic and applied work. In addition to reorienting the field for academics and practitioners this book is an ideal text for students who are increasingly likely to both study and work in corporate environments.

Doing DevelopmentGovernment NGOs and the rural poor in Asia The absolutely poor who are mostly rural people are a large part of the developing world's population and their numbers are growing. Government development programmes aided by the big donors have made the poor poorer and have rendered them more powerless in relation to the rest of society. They have done this by sustaining and reinforcing existing exploitative economic social and political structures. Yet people's movements. religious organizations voluntary groups universities and so on have often devised 'alternative' development strategies whose programmes are specifically intended to empower the powerless and selectively enrich the poorest. These groups lack the funds and the political punch to make much more than a dent in the situation. This book brings together some of these workers from the South who describe the problems and provide the answers. They are a challenge to the received 'wisdom' of the North.

Doing Disability DifferentlyAn alternative handbook on architecture dis/ability and designing for everyday life This ground-breaking book aims to take a new and innovative view on how disability and architecture might be connected. Rather than putting disability at the end of the design process centred mainly on compliance it sees disability – and ability – as creative starting points for the whole design process. It asks the intriguing question: can working from dis/ability actually generate an alternative kind of architectural avant-garde? To do this Doing Disability Differently: explores how thinking about dis/ability opens up to critical and creative investigation our everyday social attitudes and practices about people objects and space argues that design can help resist and transform underlying and unnoticed inequalities introduces architects to the emerging and important field of disability studies 　and considers what different kinds of design thinking and doing this can enable asks how designing for everyday life – in all its diversity – can 　be better embedded within contemporary architecture as a discipline offers examples of what doing disability differently can mean for architectural theory education and professional practice aims to embed into architectural practice attitudes and approaches that creatively and constructively refuse to perpetuate body 'norms' or the resulting inequalities in access to and support from built space. Ultimately this book suggests that re-addressing architecture and disability involves nothing less than re-thinking how to design for the everyday occupation of space more generally.

Doing Ethics In A Diverse World Nothing is more difficult today than deciding what to do about abortion gay marriage economic injustice war torture global warming euthanasia capital punishment and a host of other controversies particularly in a world in which people of varying religious cultural and ethnic backgrounds commonly live side by side. Can we draw on the wisdom of the past to address these contemporary ethical dilemmas? Can we see more clearly how we should consider what is right and wrong and good and bad and then work through these divisive problems toward decisions that make sense to us?While challenging moral relativism Doing Ethics in a Diverse World uses a pluralist approach that draws on religious as well as secular positions and on Eastern as well as Western traditions. The book's approach reasons by analogy from the rule of law including international human rights law as a means to constructing ethical presumptions about duty character relationships and rights. These presumptions are weighed against the predicted consequences of acting on them which either confirm the presumptions or support alternative actions.

Doing FieldworkThe Correspondence of Robert Redfield and Sol Tax Prior to the 1930s the highlands of Guatemala were largely undescribed except in travelogues. Just two decades later the highlands had become one of the most anthropologically well-investigated areas of the world. This is largely due to the research that Robert Redfield and Sol Tax carried out between 1934 and 1941. Separately and together Redfield and Tax anticipated and guided anthropological investigations of people living in peasant and urban communities in other areas of the world. Their work helped to define the major outlines of research in the 1970s and since then much writing about the region has been formulated in critical response to the Redfield-Tax program.Not coincidentally since the mid-1970s anthropology has been caught up in a wave of self-doubt about the status of fieldwork and the authority of ethnographic description. This critical stance has often cast ethnography as a creative literary enterprise. This volume presents a timely view of the process of ethnography as carried out by two of its early practitioners. Containing a wealth of ethnographic detail the book reveals how Redfield and Tax developed and tested ethnological hypotheses and it allows us to follow the development of their major theoretical statements. The result is an exceptionally clear picture of the process of ethnography. Redfield and Tax emerge as rigorous and sensitive observers of social life whose observations bear importantly on contemporary understandings of the ethnology of Guatemala and the enterprise of anthropology. This book will be of interest to students of method and theory in ethnography Latin Americanists and other professionals interested in the history of idea.

Doing Gender Doing GeographyEmerging Research in India Until the 1970s gender had been invisible in analyses of social space and place in the androcentric discipline of geography. While recent contributions to feminist geography have challenged this in India the engagement of geographers with gender by being conservative in its choice of focus and orthodox in methodology has been unable to destabilise the established disciplinary order. However with younger scholars becoming increasingly interested in studying gender in geography novel and innovative methods that include combinations of quantitative and qualitative analyses visual sources and in-depth case studies are being tried out and accepted in geography despite its masculine legacy. This pioneering study brings together Indian geographers’ contributions to understanding gender and through them seeks to enrich the discipline of geography. It engages with the recent ‘spatial turn’ in the social sciences which has reclaimed the explanatory power of space and place in social theory that had been nearly lost to deconstructive postmodernist scholarship. The volume draws entirely from the Indian scholarship showcasing contextualised knowledge production but hopes to initiate a a dialogue with scholars elsewhere working with feminist methodologies.

Doing Harder Time?The Experiences of an Ageing Male Prison Population in England and Wales In his seminal text Society of Captives Gresham Sykes discusses the general pains of imprisonment to which all prisoners are subjected: the deprivation of liberty the deprivation of heterosexual relationships and the deprivation of autonomy. Sykes recognised that different prisoners experience these pains differently and as a result are affected to a greater or lesser degree by their time inside. In this groundbreaking book Natalie Mann investigates the idea that apart from the general pains of imprisonment discussed by Sykes certain characteristics which certain prisoners hold makes them more likely to suffer from what she terms term 'added pains' i.e. the extra difficulties deprivations and frustrations which exist within certain subsections of the prison population. The ageing prison population is a key example of a group who experience added pains of imprisonment. Their weaker appearance their old-fashioned views and their less able bodies are all factors which result in them experiencing extra problems within prison. It is these added pains and the ageing men's experiences of them which this book addresses. Framed within the theoretical perspective of structuration theory but also drawing on aspects of Goffman's interactionism and Bourdieu's concept of habitus this book offers a unique interpretation of research carried out with ageing prisoners and their prison officers and shows the reality of prison for those who are reaching the end of their life course.

History as an academic discipline has dramatically changed in recent decades and has been enhanced by ideas from other disciplines the influence of postmodernism and historians’ incorporation of their own reflections into their work. Doing History presents the ideas and debates that shape how we ‘do’ history today covering arguments about the nature of historical knowledge and the function of historical writing whether we can ever really know what happened in the past what sources historians depend on and the relative value of popular and academic histories. This revised edition includes new chapters on public history and activist histories. It looks at global representations of the past across the centuries and provides up-to-date suggestions for further reading presenting the reader with a thorough and current introduction to studying history at an academic level as well as a pathway to progress this study further.

Doing HistoryInvestigating with Children in Elementary and Middle Schools Now in its fifth edition Doing History offers a unique perspective on teaching and learning history in the elementary and middle grades. Through case studies of teachers and students in diverse classrooms and from diverse backgrounds it shows children engaging in authentic historical investigations often in the context of an integrated social studies curriculum. The premise is that children can engage in valid forms of historical inquiry—collecting and analyzing data examining the perspectives of people in the past considering multiple interpretations and creating evidence-based historical accounts. Grounded in contemporary sociocultural theory and research the text features vignettes in each chapter showing communities of teachers and students doing history in environments rich in literature art writing discussion and debate. The authors explain how the teaching demonstrated in the vignettes reflects basic principles of contemporary learning theory. Doing History emphasizes diversity of perspectives in two ways: readers encounter students from a variety of backgrounds and students themselves look at history from multiple perspectives. It provides clear guidance in using multiple forms of assessment to evaluate the specifically historical aspects of children’s learning. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415737333

Doing Justice to Young PeopleYouth Crime and Social Justice There is an impasse in current thinking about youth crime and justice represented by punitive and harmful practices and liberal objections to these processes on the other based predominantly on arguments for ‘rehabilitation’. This book aims to arrive at an alternative strategy for resolving the tensions between young people –  especially those on and beyond the margins – and the social world which frames their lives.The book is split into three sections: Part 1 focuses on young people their attitudes and behaviour; Part 2 considers the way in which their behaviour is constructed as criminal and then addressed; Part 3 considers the limitations of current practices and potential alternatives. Within this broad framework the differentiated and contested nature of young people’s experiences and our (and their) ideas of ‘youth’ can be counterposed to prevailing one-sided and often discriminatory assumptions about them; in order then to open up questions about the nature and purposes of the youth justice system and to introduce some possibilities for reconstructing it according to fundamental principles of rights welfare and social justice.Doing Justice to Young People will be essential reading for anybody working in or studying youth crime and youth justice.

Doing Labor Activism in South ChinaThe Complicity of Uncertainty How did labor NGOs come into existence in contemporary China? How do labor activists act – or not act – when the limits of state tolerance are unclear? With a focus on labor NGOs in South China and Western funding agencies this book sets out to address these questions by investigating the dynamics of state control in post-socialist China since the 1970s in which rapid economic and social transformations have cultivated an environment of uncertainty. Taking uncertainty as an analytical space productive of emergent practices and discourses this book draws on original fieldwork and interviews to study the lived experiences of different actors throughout the labor NGO community the foreign donors trying to bring about change and the networks of social relationships being strategically reconfigured. Doing Labor Activism in South China offers an ethnography of the Chinese state that reveals an intimate and complicit modality of self-governing demonstrating how neoliberal ideas are at once represented by international development and deflected in grassroots development. It will be useful to students and scholars of Social Anthropology and Urban Ethnography as well as Political Science and Chinese Studies more generally.

Doing Museology Differently One might believe that museum studies is a stable field of academic inquiry based on a set of familiar institutional forms and functions. But as institutions museums have never been stable or singular and neither has the discipline of museum studies. Museum studies as a field of academic inquiry has received little critical attention. One result of this neglect has arguably been a lack of invention in museum studies; another is the distancing of academic museum studies from museum practice. Doing Museology Differently charts a different course. A critical‐creative reflection on academic practice the book takes the form of a narrative account of museological fieldwork. A research story unfolds challenging academic conventions at the level of its own presentation: the book combines critical museum visiting with an autobiographical voice. The identification of a previously underexplored interdisciplinary space leads the author to experiment with museum studies using contemporary developments in the theory and practice of human geography. The new approaches to museological research and representation that emerge from this unique inquiry challenge assumed institutional and intellectual boundaries and act as a call to further creative experimentation.

Doing Nutrition DifferentlyCritical Approaches to Diet and Dietary Intervention 'Hegemonic nutrition' is produced and proliferated by a wide variety of social institutions such as mainstream nutrition science clinical nutrition as well as those less classically linked such as life science/agro-food companies the media family education religion and the law. The collective result is an approach to and practice of nutrition that alleges not only one single clear-cut and consented-upon set of rules for 'healthy eating ' but also tacit criteria for determining individual fault usually some combination of lack of education motivation and unwillingness to comply. Offering a collection of critical interdisciplinary replies and responses to the matter of 'hegemonic nutrition' this book presents contributions from a wide variety of perspectives; nutrition professionals and lay people academics and activists adults and youth indigenous Chicana/o Latina/o Environmentalist Feminist and more. The critical commentary collectively asks for a different more attentive and more holistic practice of nutrition. Most importantly this volume demonstrates how this 'new' nutrition is actually already being performed in small ways across the American continent. In doing so the volume empowers diverse knowledges histories and practices of nutrition that have been marginalized re-casts the objectives of dietary intervention and most broadly attempts to revolutionize the way that nutrition is done.

Doing Organizational Ethnography This book presents a new way of understanding organizational ethnography due to its strong emphasis on what the word organizational means in organizational ethnography. In the past five years a new organizational studies research field has developed involving organizational ethnographies which is when organizations are studied using ethnographical methods. This development has shed light on the methods and difficulties of organizational ethnography and yet we argue that confusion still remains as to what organizational ethnographical approaches are. This edited volume offers students and scholars a profound understanding of organizational ethnography by presenting concrete examples reflections and discussions of how to understand and adequately conceptualize the word organizational in organizational ethnography. All the chapters illustrate the work of analytically combining different organizational phenomena (e.g. strategy making policymaking) analytical perspectives (e.g. sensemaking narratives) and ethnographical methods (e.g. texts observations shadowing interviews) and demonstrate different ways of doing organizational ethnography. At the end of each chapter an experienced researcher in the field offers comments and discussion on the contributions of the chapter providing reflections on the implications for research in the field to which they ascribe. In Doing Organizational Ethnography organizational is defined as polyphonic ways of organizing based on the interactions of the many voices discourses practices and narratives in and around organizations and the book provides readers with in-depth reflections on what organizing and organizations become when doing organizational ethnography.

Doing Prison Work This book provides a much-needed sociological account of the social world of the English prison officer making an original contribution to our understanding of the inner life of prisons in general and the working lives of prison officers in particular. As well as revealing how the job of the prison officer - and of the prison itself - is accomplished on a day-to-day basis the book explores not only what prison officers do but also how they feel about their work. In focusing on how prison officers feel about their work this book makes a number of interesting revelations - about the essentially domestic nature of much of the work they do about the degree of emotional labour invested in it and about the performance nature of many of the day-to-day interactions between officers and prisoners. Finally the book follows the prison officer home after work showing how the prison can spill over into their home lives and family relationships. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in different types of prisons (including interviews with prison officers' wives and children as well as prison officers themselves) this book will be essential reading for all those with an interest in how prisons and organisations more generally operate in practice.

Doing Probation WorkIdentity in a Criminal Justice Occupation A great deal has been written about the political policy and practice changes that have shaped probation work but little has been written on the changes to occupational cultures and the ways in which probation workers themselves view their role. This book fills that gap by exploring the meaning of ‘doing probation work’ from the perspective of probation workers themselves. Based on 60 extensive interviews with probation workers who joined the probation service from the 1960s to the present day this book reaches beyond criminological and policy analysis to an application of sociological and organizational theory to rich qualitative data. It explores the backgrounds and motivations of probation workers their changing relationships with other criminal justice agencies and the complex public perceptions and media representations of probation work. The book considers the relative influences of religion the union diversity and feminization and while it acknowledges that probation work is stressful it draws innovatively on sociological and organizational concepts to categorize how workers respond to turbulent times. This book challenges the dominant narrative of probation’s decline in recent literature and constructs three ‘ideal types’ of probation worker - ‘lifers’ ‘second careerists’ and ‘offender managers.’ Each makes an essential contribution to probation cultures which collectively contribute to rather than undermine the effectiveness of offender management and the future of probation work. This book will be important reading for researchers in the disciplines of criminology criminal justice sociology and management as well as probation workers of all grades and those in training.

Doing Psychiatry WrongA Critical and Prescriptive Look at a Faltering Profession The prospect that the psychiatric profession has hurt rather than helped many of its patients is incredibly disheartening; however wrong diagnoses and improper treatment are all too common errors within the field. Author Renéeuller presents a revealing look into how psychiatry has failed a great majority of patients all the while recognizing the valiant efforts made by psychiatrists who maintain their integrity and serve their patients well. The result is an enlightening critique of the profession one that pits criticism of psychiatry's current biological reduction and exaggerated promises against the accumulated wisdom of a profession that has struggled for a century and a half to understand and help those with mental illness.

Doing Public EthnographyHow to Create and Disseminate Ethnographic and Qualitative Research to Wide Audiences Ethnography and qualitative research methodology in general have witnessed a staggering proliferation of styles and genres over the last three decades. Modes and channels of communication have similarly expanded and diversified. Now ethnographers have the opportunity to disseminate their work not only through traditional writing but also through aural visual performative hypertext and many diverse and creative multimodal documentation strategies. Yet many ethnographers still feel insufficiently proficient with these new literacies and opportunities for knowledge mobilization and they therefore still limit themselves to traditional modes of communication in spite of their desire for innovation. As university-based community-driven and politically mandated agendas for broader knowledge transfer keep increasing worldwide the demand for public scholarship continues to grow. Arguing for the need to disseminate innovative ethnographic knowledge more widely and more effectively this book outlines practical strategies and tools for sharing ethnographic and qualitative research through widely accessible media such as magazines trade books blogs newspapers video radio and social media. Drawing from practical experiences and hands-on lessons Doing Public Ethnography provides social scientists across all disciplines with concrete tactics for mobilizing knowledge beyond the academic realm.

Doing Public Good?Private Actors Evaluation and Public Value This book examines the contributions of non-public organizations such as foundations philanthropies charities non-governmental organizations private businesses and entrepreneurs to public goods and services. Too often the impact of the contributions of such private actors are overlooked. However they are playing an increasing role in meeting societal needs across the developing world. Doing Public Good? lays out key elements that need to be considered in evaluating the net results achieved by these private actors. It uses case studies and analysis to show how to answer such questions as: Is it working? How do they and the public know they are doing good? And how to improve? Such questions are particularly important since little is known about the net results of private avenues for delivering public value. The contributors conclude that "doing good" organizations need to be more transparent and accountable regarding their operations and achievements. The book suggests perspectives on how better monitoring and evaluation systems can improve their accountability. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781412862462

Doing Qualitative Analysis In Psychology In recent years qualitative analysis has become accpeted as part of modern psychology. Concern about the limitations of conventional laboratory- based research combine with a growing interest in real world issues to produce an awareness of the rich potential of qualititative analysis. Virtualy all psychology students underatake practical work as part of their courses. More and more of them are seeking to conduct research which includes qualitative analysis. Too often though students lack awareness of the range and diversity of qualitative approaches. Qualitative analysis can take many different forms and can use any different sources of data. At one end of the spectrum this diversity provides the eclectic psychologists with a rich anaytical "tool-box". For those at the other end qualitative analysis is an integral part of a full theoretical critique of positivistic methodologies in psychology. This text provides examples of how different psychologists have used qualitative analysis in research. Each chapter is based around a real piece of research and the researcher discusses exactly how they went about conducting the analysis. The text covers a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches to qualitative analysis and should be of interest to research psychologists as well as to students.

Doing Science (RLE Edu O)Images of Science in Science Education Doing Science is unique in seeking to make explicit the links between science education and science studies. These fields of study and their respective academic communities whilst appearing to have many potential points of contact remain surprisingly separate with little apparent recognition of the relevance to the interests of each of the work done within the other tradition. Presenting detailed accounts of current research the book highlights the significance of modern science studies for classroom practice and conversely the importance of the classroom and teaching laboratory as a context for science studies. The thread which runs through the collection as a whole is children’s experience of doing science and the image of science which learners pick up along with the science knowledge understanding and skills they require.

Doing Things with ThingsThe Design and Use of Everyday Objects It has been claimed that the natural sciences have abstracted for themselves a 'material world' set apart from human concerns and social sciences in their turn constructed 'a world of actors devoid of things'. While a subject such as archaeology by its very nature takes objects into account other disciplines such as psychology emphasize internal mental structures and other non-material issues. This book brings together a team of contributors from across the social sciences who have been taking 'things' more seriously to examine how people relate to objects. The contributors focus on every day objects and how these objects enter into our activities over the course of time. Using a combination of different theoretical approaches including actor network theory ecological psychology cognitive linguistics and science and technology studies the book argues against the standard notion of objects and their properties as inert and meaningless and argues for the need to understand the relations between people and objects in terms of process and change.

Doing Violence Making Race The subject of lynching has spawned a vast body of important research but this research suffers from important blind spots and disjunctures. By broadening the scope of research problem formulation staking out new theoretical-analytical tracks and drawing upon recent innovations in statistical methodology to analzye newer and more detailed data Doing Violence Making Race offers an innovative contribution to our understanding of this grim subject matter and its place within the broader history and sociology of US race relations. Indeed this volume demonstrates how different forms of lynching fed off and into the formation of the racial group boundaries and identities at the foundation of the Jim Crow system. The book also demonstrates that as dominant white racial ideologies and conceptions took an extremist turn lethal mob violence against African Americans increasingly assumed the form of public lynchings serving to transform symbolic representations of blacks into social stigma and exclusion. Finally Smångs also explores how public lynchings were expressive as well as generative of the collective white racial identity mobilized through the southern branch of the Democratic Party whilst private lynchings were related to whites’ interracial status and social identity concerns on the interpersonal level. The most complete and complex scholarly treatment of this grim subject to date this enlightening volume will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students interested in areas such as Sociology Political Science History Criminology/Criminal Justice Anthropology American Studies African-American and Whiteness Studies.

Dolls Photography and the Late LacanDoubles Beyond the Uncanny In this fascinating new book Rosalinda Quintieri addresses some of the key questions of visual theory concerning our unending fascination with simulacra by evaluating the recent return of the life-size doll in European and American visual culture. Through a focus on the contemporary photographic and cinematic forms of this figure and a critical mobilisation of its anthropological complexity this book offers a new critical understanding of this classical aesthetic motif as a way to explore the relevance that doubling fantasy and simulation hold in our contemporary culture. Quintieri explores the figure of the inanimate human double as an "inhuman partner" reflecting on contemporary visuality as the field of a hypermodern post-Oedipal aesthetic. Through a series of case studies that blur traditional boundaries between practices (photography performance sculpture painting documentary) and between genres (comedy drama fairy tale) Quintieri puts in contrast the new function of the double and its plays of simulations on the background of the capitalist injunction to enjoy. Engaging with new theories on post-Oedipal forms of subjectivity developed within the Lacanian orientation of psychoanalysis Quintieri offers exciting analyses of still and moving photographic work giving body to an original aesthetic model that promises to revitalise our understanding of contemporary photography and visual culture. It will appeal to psychoanalysts and researchers from Lacanian psychoanalysis visual studies and cultural theory as well as readers with an academic interest in the cultural history of dolls and the theory of the uncanny.

Dolmens in the Levant When Western explorers first encountered dolmens in the Levant they thought they had discovered the origins of a megalithic phenomenon that spread as far as the Atlantic coast. Although European dolmens are now considered an unrelated tradition many researchers continue to approach dolmens in the Levant as part of a trans-regional phenomenon that spanned the Taurus mountains to the Arabian peninsula.By tightly defining the term 'dolmen' itself this book brings these mysterious monuments into sharper focus. Drawing on historical archaeological and geological sources it is shown that dolmens in the Levant mostly concentrate in the eastern escarpment of the Jordan Rift Valley and in the Galilean hills. They cluster near proto-urban settlements of the Early Bronze I period (3700–3000 BCE) in particular geological zones suitable for the extraction of megalithic slabs. Rather than approaching dolmens as a regional phenomenon this book considers dolmens as part of a local burial tradition whose tomb forms varied depending on geological constraints. Dolmens in the Levant is essential for anyone interested in the rise of civilisations in the ancient Middle East and particularly those who have wondered at the origins of these enigmatic burial monuments that dominate the landscape.

The first part contains two important chapters - the first looks at the interaction between programmes and how they make one of them to serve the purposes of the other. This mechanism is termed "domain linkage". The second chapter deals with welfare state programmes that contain behavioural risks like health insurance sickness benefits unemployment and disability insurance - where moral hazard is a potential problem. The second part of the book groups a number of international comparative studies. The first three deal with retirement issues and the fourth looks at the development of poverty and income distribution. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138723436

Domestic Abuse and Child ContactInternational Experience This book presents papers from an International Symposium on Contact Disputes and Allegations of Domestic Violence: Identifying Best Practices held in London in May 2017. The editors invited a group of international experts to explain the approaches taken in their jurisdictions to allegations of domestic violence in child contact cases with a view to identifying international best practices in such cases. The book includes contributions from England and Wales Scotland Ireland Canada Sweden and Spain as well as information presented at the symposium from New Zealand and Australia. The chapters include attention to particular issues such as specialist domestic violence courts judicial training and hearing children’s voices. Collectively the chapters identify a set of common problems experienced across all of the jurisdictions including an overwhelming emphasis on the value of children’s ongoing contact with non-resident parents and the consequent minimisation of domestic violence and the muting of the voices of children who do not wish to have contact with abusive parents. Best practices in taking domestic violence seriously and providing adequate protection from further abuse for children and non-abusive parents were less in evidence. However the concluding chapter draws together details of several initiatives and approaches which offer promising ways forward. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367645380

Domestic and International Perspectives on Kyrgyzstan’s ‘Tulip Revolution’Motives Mobilization and Meanings In early 2005 regional protests in Kyrgyzstan soon became national ones as protesters seized control of the country’s capital Bishkek. The country’s president for fifteen years Askar Akaev fled the country and after a night of extensive looting a new president Kurmanbek Bakiev came to power. The events quickly earned the epithet ‘Tulip Revolution’ and were interpreted as the third of the colour revolutions in the post-Soviet space following Ukraine and Georgia. But did the events in Kyrgyzstan amount to a ‘revolution’? How much change followed and with what academic and policy implications? This innovative unique study of these events brings together a new generation of Kyrgyz scholars together with established international observers to assess what happened in Kyrgyzstan and after and the wider implications.

Domestic Counter-Terrorism in a Global WorldPost-9/11 Institutional Structures and Cultures in Canada and the United Kingdom Although both Canada and the United Kingdom had experienced terrorism prior to the attacks of 9/11 and already had in place extensive provisions to deal with terrorism the events of that day led to the enactment of new and expansive counter-terrorism legislation being enacted in both jurisdictions. This book explores these changes to counter-terrorism laws and policies in the UK and Canada in order to demonstrate that despite the force of international legal instruments including the heavily scrutinized UN Security Council Resolution 1373 the evolution of counter-terrorism policies in different jurisdictions is best analyzed and understood as a product of local institutional structures and cultures. The book compares legal and political structures and cultures within Canada and the United Kingdom. It analyses variations in the evolution post-9/11 counter-terrorism measures in the two jurisdictions and explores the domestic reasons for them. While focus is primarily geared towards security certificates and bail with recognizance/investigative hearings in Canada and detention without trial control orders and TPIMs in the UK the use of secret evidence in the wider national security context (terrorist listing civil litigation criminal prosecutions etc.) is also discussed. The book reveals how domestic structures and cultures including the legal system the relative stability of government local human rights culture and geopolitical relationships all influence how counter-terrorism measures evolve. In this sense the book utilizes a methodology that is both comparative and interdisciplinary by engaging in legal political historical and cultural analyses. This book will be particularly useful for target audiences in the fields of comparative law and criminal justice counter-terrorism law human rights law and international relations and politics.

Domestic Deployment of the Armed ForcesMilitary Powers Law and Human Rights Until recently internal use of the armed forces has been generally regarded by the public as well as academic commentators as conduct to be expected of a military or autocratic regime not a democratic government. There is however growing concern that the 'war on terror' has been used to condition public opinion to accept the internal deployment of the armed forces including for broader industrial and political purposes. This book examines the national and international law human rights and civil liberties issues involved in governments calling out troops to deal with civil unrest or terrorism. As the introduction of military call-out legislation has become an emerging global trend in the opening years of the 21st century there is considerable and growing interest in the constitutional and related problems surrounding the deployment of military forces for domestic purposes. Examining the changes underway in six comparable countries the United States Canada Britain Germany Japan and Australia this book provides a review and analysis of this trend including its implications for legal and political rights.

Domestic Disturbances Patriarchal ValuesViolence Family and Sexuality in Early Modern Europe 1600-1900 This book offers an in-depth analysis of several national case studies on family violence between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries using court records as their main source. It raises important questions for research on early modern Europe: the notion of absolute power; sovereignty and its applicability to familial power; the problem of violence and the possibility of its usage for conflict resolution both in public and private spaces; and the interconnection of gender and violence against women reconsidered in the context of modern state formation as a public sphere and family building as a private sphere. Contributors bring together detailed studies of domestic violence and spousal murder in Romania England and Russia abduction and forced marriage in Poland infanticide and violence against parents in Finland and rape and violence against women in Germany. These case studies serve as the basis for a comparative analysis of forms models and patterns of violence within the family in the context of debates on political power absolutism and violence. They highlight changes towards unlimited violence by family patriarchs in European countries in the context of the changing relationship between the state and its citizens.

A work of cultural geography it explores the proposition that the practice and politics of domestic labour being undertaken in the name of ‘the environment’ needs to be better recognized understood and accounted for as a phenomenon shaped by and shaping of gender class and spatial relations.The book argues that a significant yet neglected phenomenon worthy of research attention is the upsurge in voluntary and yet mostly unrecognized domestic environmental labour in high-consuming households in late modernity with the burden often falling on women seeking to green their lives and homes in aid of a sustainable planet. Further because domestic environmental labour is undervalued in governance and the formal economy much like other types of domestic labour householders have become an unrecognized and unaccounted-for supply of labour for the greening of capitalism.Situated within broad global debates on links between ecological and social change the book has relevance in the many jurisdictions around the world in which households are positioned as sites of environmental protection through green consumption. The volume engages existing interest in household environmental behaviour and practice advancing understanding of these topics in new ways. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367870010

Domestic Intersections in Contemporary Migration FictionHoming the Metropole Domestic Intersections in Contemporary Migration Fiction responds to the need for a more materialist perspective on migration by reorienting the focus on domesticity and the everyday practices of homemaking and away from a celebratory and aestheticized reading of displacement. Centering on Britain as the location of arrival its readings of canonical and underexplored works of diasporic fiction emanating from Africa South Asia and the Caribbean foreground the significance of discourses of domesticity in supporting as well as resisting colonialism racism and xenophobia. Applying an intersectional feminist approach this book challenges the tendency to view the private sphere as a static apolitical and uncreative space. Rather Newns argues we should regard the domestic home as a key site for contesting the terms of belonging within larger spaces and collectivities such as the city and the nation. Ultimately by demonstrating the material importance of homely spaces for non-privileged migrants like women refugees and LGBTQ+ people Domestic Intersections problematizes the critical suspicion towards home and placement in feminist postcolonial and queer theory.

Domestic Judicial Treatment of European Court of Human Rights Case LawBeyond Compliance The European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR”) suffers from the burgeoning caseload and challenges to its authority. This two-pronged crisis undermines the ECtHR’s legitimacy and consequently the functioning of the whole European human rights regime. Domestic courts can serve as welcome allies of the Strasbourg Court. They have a potential to diffuse Convention norms domestically and therefore prevent and filter many potential human rights violations. Yet we know very little about how domestic courts actually treat the Strasbourg Court’s rulings. This book brings unique empirical findings on how often how and with what consequences domestic judges work with the ECtHR’s case law. It moves beyond the narrow concept of compliance and develops a new three-level methodology for analysing the role played by domestic courts in the implementation of ECtHR case law. Moreover using the example of Czechia it shifts the attention from Western countries to a more volatile Central and Eastern European region which has recently witnessed democratic backsliding and backlash against international checks on human rights and the rule of law standards. Looking at a wider social and legal context this book identifies factors helping transitional countries to adapt to regional human rights regimes. The work will be an essential resource for students academics and policy-makers working in the areas of Constitutional law Politics and Human Rights law. Its global appeal is enhanced by the methodological framework which is applicable in other international systems. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367361167

Domestic Modernism the Interwar Novel and E.H. Young Domestic Modernism the Interwar Novel and E. H. Young provides a valuable analytical model for reading a large body of modernist works by women who have suffered not only from a lack of critical attention but from the assumption that experimental modernist techniques are the only expression of the modern. In the process of documenting the publication and reception history of E. H. Young's novels the authors suggest a paradigm for analyzing the situation of women writers during the interwar years. Their discussion of Young in the context of both canonical and noncanonical writers challenges the generic label and literary status of the domestic novel as well as facile assumptions about popular and middlebrow fiction canon formation aesthetic value and modernity. The authors also make a significant contribution to discussions of the everyday and to the burgeoning field of 'homeculture ' as they show that the fictional embodiment and inscription of home by writers such as Young Virginia Woolf Elizabeth Bowen Ivy Compton-Burnett Lettice Cooper E. M. Delafield Stella Gibbons Storm Jameson and E. Arnot Robertson epitomize the long-standing symbiosis between architecture and literature or more specifically between the house and the novel.

Domestic Murder in Nineteenth-Century EnglandLiterary and Cultural Representations Why did certain domestic murders fire the Victorian imagination? In her analysis of literary and cultural representations of this phenomenon across genres Bridget Walsh traces how the perception of the domestic murderer changed across the nineteenth century and suggests ways in which the public appetite for such crimes was representative of wider social concerns. She argues that the portrayal of domestic murder did not signal a consensus of opinion regarding the domestic space but rather reflected significant discontent with the cultural and social codes of behaviour circulating in society particularly around issues of gender and class. Examining novels trial transcripts medico-legal documents broadsides criminal and scientific writing illustration and notably Victorian melodrama Walsh focuses on the relationship between the domestic sphere so central to Victorian values and the desecration of that space by the act of murder. Her book encompasses the gendered representation of domestic murder for both men and women as it tackles crucial questions related to Victorian ideas of nationhood national health political and social inequality newspaper coverage of murder unstable and contested models of masculinity and the ambivalent portrayal of the female domestic murderer at the fin de siècle.

Sidney's letters show that although his union with the wealthy Welsh heiress Barbara Gamage may have been engineered primarily for political and financial ends clearly the couple enjoyed a happy and loving marriage. Their correspondence is full of endearments and Robert frequently tells his wife how much he misses her and their beloved children including his 'Malkin ' later Lady Mary Wroth. The volume includes an introduction and notes by the editors. It also includes contextual materials such as relevant sections on family matters from letters to Robert from his trusted agent Rowland Whyte; and from Robert Sidney's own business correspondence.

Domestic Politics and International Narcotics ControlU.S. Relations with Mexico and Colombia 1989-2000 This book examines different levels of narcotics control cooperation between the United States Mexico and Colombia. Victor J. Hinojosa finds that Mexico is consistently held to a very different standard than Colombia and that the US often satisfies domestic political pressures to be tough on drugs by punishing Colombia while allowing Mexico much more freedom to pursue different strategies. He also explores the role of domestic terrorism and presidential reputation in Colombia for the US-Colombia pair and the role of competing issues in the US-Mexican bilateral agenda for that country pair finding that congressional pressure and electoral tests exert the most impact on US behavior but that Mexican and Colombian behavior is best explained in other ways. Together these findings suggest both the promise of integrating the study of international relations and comparative politics and important limitations of the theoretical framework.

Domestic Spaces in Post-Mao ChinaOn Electronic Household Appliances Unconventional creative and highly original Wang Min’an’s work centres on the assemblage of household machines that create the space of contemporary domesticity. It offers pathways to a new understanding of how the sudden commodification of domestic space in China beginning in the late 1980s has transformed Chinese domestic life beyond recognition. In terms of modern urban Chinese family life people do not just move into new apartments; they move into new modes of living which involve new ways of relating to the world. Wang’s discussion on the reconstitution of Chinese domestic life—its founding moral aesthetic political values—is tremendously useful and enlightening.In these essays the author stages a Latourian collapse of subject and object in adopting the point of view of both human and non-human actants. This volume brings a new sensibility to bear on objects of modern everyday life. This work is not a "China book " but rather a work marked profoundly by China. Wang experiments with the applicability of "theory" to what might be thought of as a transcultural common life embedded in mundane technologies. The book is particularly concerned with rescuing everyday materiality and bodily life from the numb obscurity to which things have been relegated by modern consumerism and bourgeois hygiene.This book is not an oddity from the mysterious East; it is a playful experiment in writing from a unique scholar a leading thinker and theorist in the humanities in China and will be of interest to scholars and students of East Asian particularly Chinese political and domestic studies.

Domestic Violence and PsychologyCritical Perspectives on Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse Despite changes to laws and policies across most western democracies intended to combat violence to women intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) remains discouragingly commonplace. Domestic Violence and Psychology: Critical Perspectives on Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse showcases women’s harrowing stories of living with and leaving violent partners offering a psychological perspective on domestic violence and developing a theoretical framework for examining the context intentions and experiences in the lives of people who experience abuse and abuse themselves. Nicolson provides an analysis of survivors’ real-life stories and thoughts about IPVA. The attitudes of the general public and health and social care professionals are also presented and discussed. The theoretical perspective employs three levels of evidence – the material (context) discursive (explanations) and intrapsychic (emotional). Domestic Violence and Psychology is divided into three parts accordingly engaging qualitative data from interviews and quantitative data from surveys to illustrate these theoretical perspectives. Although many pro-feminist sociologists and activists firmly believe that any attempt to explain domestic violence potentially condones it this book takes up the challenge to make a compelling case demonstrating how we need to widen understanding of the psychology of survivors and their intimate relationships if we are to defeat IPVA. The new edition has been updated to include the latest developments in IPVA research and practice and in particular examines the impact of a violent and abusive family life on all members including children. This is essential reading for students academics and professionals interested in domestic abuse as well as professionals and practitioners including psychologists social workers the police prison officers probation staff policy makers and charity workers.

Domestic Violence in AsiaGlobalization Gender and Islam in the Maldives This book explores changing patterns of domestic violence in Asia. Based on extensive original research in the Maldives it argues that forces of globalisation consumerism Islamism and democratisation are changing the nature of domestic relations with shifting ideas surrounding gender and Islam being particularly significant. The book points out that domestic violence has been relatively low in the Maldives in comparison with other Asian countries as a result of the book argues a history of relatively equal gender relations an ideology of masculinity that is associated with calmness and rationality where violence is not considered an acceptable means of dealing with problems and flexible marriage and divorce practices. The book shows how these factors are being undermined by new ideas which emphasise the need for wifely obedience increasing gender inequality and the right of husbands to be coercive.

Domestic Violence OffendersCurrent Interventions Research and Implications for Policies and Standards Women’s shelters and safe houses were a good first step but they only address part of the problem. Learn what else must be done to address the problem of domestic violence! Domestic Violence Offenders presents recent research current interventions and legal standards for people arrested for domestic violence. It also addresses the controversies that have arisen in the wake of the mandatory standards for batterer interventions that have been established by various jurisdictions examining the type of treatment modality and content permitted by various jurisdictions the duration of treatment and the relationship of the various standards to actual research. This essential book also provides suggestions for a more inclusive less rigid process for creating standards and policies for use with this population. Handy tables and charts make the information easily accessible. From the editors: “The initial societal response to intimate partner violence was the development of the shelter movement for battered women. Women’s shelters and/or safe houses developed in almost all major population areas throughout the United States and abroad. The goals were to provide a safe environment for abused women and their children to offer advocacy counseling and medical services and to empower women to leave their abusers. While shelters continue to serve these and other critical needs and are an essential part of the service delivery system for battered women they address only part of the problem. Left untreated batterers often will continue to abuse their partners who leave shelters and return to the relationship. If their partners leave the relationship the batterers may find new victims to abuse. The response to this harsh reality was the development of batterer intervention programs.” Domestic Violence Offenders provides you with informed discussions of: the implications of research and policies for those providing interventions why it is premature for states to establish certain rigid standards for batterer programs and how some of the current standards may produce more harm than good the history of batterer intervention programs completion and recidivism among court- and self-referred batterers the Alternatives to Violence program and the experiences and perceptions of its founder common aspects of various intervention programs—confidentiality group structure and length partner contacts leadership configuration and program goals topics addressed by most programs—power and control anger management substance abuse stress reduction parenting communication and more the controversial and often misunderstood issue of female partner aggression and violence the Stages of Change approach to domestic violence treatment lethality assessment and safety planning for partners of batterers the advantages of conjoint therapy for certain types of cases the Illinois Protocol for batterer programs outcome research on programs for batterers and a great deal more!

Domesticating DronesThe Technology Law and Economics of Unmanned Aircraft The public debate over civilian use of drones is intensifying. Variously called "unmanned aircraft systems" "unmanned aerial vehicles" "remotely piloted aircraft" or simply "drones" they are available for purchase by anyone for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. They have strikingly useful capabilities. They can carry high-definition video cameras infrared imaging equipment sensors for aerial surveying and mapping. They can stream their video in real time. They have GPS inertial guidance magnetic compasses altimeters and sonic ground sensors that permit them to fly a preprogrammed flightplan take off and land autonomously hover and orbit autonomously with the flick of a switch on the DRone Operator’s ("DROPs") console. The benefits they can confer on law enforcement journalism land-use planning real estate sales critical infrastructure protection and environmental preservation activities are obvious. However their proliferation in response to these demands will present substantial risks to aviation safety. How to ensure the safety of drone operations perplexes aviation regulators around the world. They are inexpensive consumer products unsuited for traditional requirements for manned aircraft costing hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars and flown only by licensed pilots who have dedicated significant parts of their lives and their wealth to obtaining licenses. Regulatory agencies in Europe and Asia are ahead of US regulators in creating spaces for commercial use. Over the next several years legal requirements must be crystallized existing operators of helicopter and airplanes must refine their policy positions and their business plans to take the new technologies into account and all businesses from the smallest entrepreneur to large conglomerates must decide whether and how to use them. Domesticating Drones offers rigorous engineering economics legal and policy theory and doctrine on this important and far-reaching development within aviation.

Domesticity and Consumer Culture in IranInterior Revolutions of the Modern Era Examining Iran’s recent history through the double lens of domesticity and consumer culture Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran demonstrates that a significant component of the modernization process in Iran advanced beyond political and public spheres. On the cusp of Iran’s entry into modernity the rules and tenets that had traditionally defined the Iranian home began to vanish and the influx of new household goods gradually led to the substantial physical expansion of the domestic milieu. Subsequently architects designers and commercial advertisers shifted their attention from commercial and public architecture to the new home and its contents. Domesticity and consumer culture also became topics of interest among politicians Shiite religious scholars and the Left who communicated their respective views via the popular media and numerous other means. In the interim ordinary Iranian families who were capable of selectively appropriating aspects of their immediate surroundings demonstrated their resistance toward the officially sanctioned transformations. Through analyzing a series of case studies that elucidate such phenomena and appraising a wide range of objects and archival documents—from furnishings appliances architectural blueprints and maps to photographs films TV series novels artworks scrapbooks work-logs personal letters and reports—this book highlights the significance of private life in social economic and political contexts of modern Iran. Tackling the subject of home from a variety of perspectives Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran thus shows the interplay between local aspirations foreign influences gender roles consumer culture and women’s education as they intersect with taste fashion domestic architecture and interior design.

Domesticity and Design in American Women's Lives and LiteratureStowe Alcott Cather and Wharton Writing Home Domesticity and Design in American Women’s Lives and Literature explores the ways in which four American women writers from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth century inhabited domestic space and portrayed it in their work. Hellman explores independent female authors who had intriguing and autonomous relationships with home relocating frequently either to begin the creative processes of designing and decorating anew or to avoid domestic obligation altogether by remaining in transit. She also looks at how women authors wrote female characters into existence who had strikingly different relationships with home and contended with profound burdens of housekeeping in an oppressive domestic sphere. The disjunction between the authors' individual existences and the characters to whom they gave life reveals multiple narratives about women at home in nineteenth- and twentieth- century America. This interdisciplinary inquiry undertakes a dual treatment of domesticity in an effort to synthesize a more complete understanding of the relationships between social history and literary accomplishment. Syncretising domestic literature with domestic practice Hellman appraises the ways in which the authors appropriate domestic rhetoric to address issues of political import: economy health and social welfare in the case of Stowe material feminism for Alcott the landscape for Cather and World War I for Wharton.

Dominance and MonopolizationVolume II Antitrust and competition law is a fast moving area of law and the subject of extensive academic research. The aim of this volume is to select articles as tools for understanding how antitrust and competition law is applied to unilateral conduct which is harmful to the consumer and to the competitiveness of the market. The articles examine the meaning of dominance and monopolisation and show that although legal and economic rules have been developed to establish whether undertakings hold such strong market positions it is often difficult to determine with certainty that the undertaking being investigated meets the threshold. The various debates on pricing and non-pricing conduct are also represented as are the conflicts that have arisen regarding the exercise of intellectual property rights by powerful undertakings particularly in the context of the new economies. The volume includes scholarly articles published on both sides of the Atlantic and enables a greater understanding of the application of antitrust and competition law from the point of view of economics and politics.

Dominant Ideologies In this volume leading international scholars elaborate upon the central issues of the analysis of ideology: the nature of dominant ideologies. The ways in which ideologies are transmitted; their effects on dominant and subordinate social classes in different societies; the contrast between individualistic and collectivist belief systems; and the diversity of cultural forms that coexist within the capitalist form of economic organization. This book is distinctive in its empirical and comparative approach to the study of the economic and cultural basis of social order and in the wide range of societies that it covers. Japan Germany and the USA constitute the core of the modern global economy and have widely differing historical roots and cultural traditions. Argentina and Australia are white settler societies on the periphery of the capitalist world-system and as a result have certain common features that are cut across in turn by social and political developments peculiar to each. Britain after a decade of Thatcherism is an interesting test of the efficacy of an ideological project designed to change the cultural values of a population. Poland shows the limitations of the imposition of a state socialist ideology and the cultural complexities that result. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138967922

Domination Migration and Non-Citizens Does the concept of domination cast new light on issues that arise in the context of migration and citizenship? If citizenship is a status that provides protection from domination understood as subjection to arbitrary interference are non-citizens - whether outside or inside the state - necessarily subject to domination by virtue of being non-citizens? Does domination provide a useful basis for considering the harms that migrants suffer? If non-domination is a value to be promoted in politics what are the implications for the treatment of migrants and resident non-citizens? This book addresses issues of migration and citizenship within the frame of freedom in terms of domination understood as being subject to the threat of arbitrary interference. Coming from a variety of perspectives the chapters examine the issues of migration controls differential resident statuses including temporary workers refugees and long-term residents and the conditions for access to citizenship in the light of these concerns.This book was published as a special issue of the Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.

Domination and Global Political JusticeConceptual Historical and Institutional Perspectives Domination consists in subjection to the will of others and manifests itself both as a personal relation and a structural phenomenon serving as the context for relations of power. Domination has again become a central political concern through the revival of the republican tradition of political thought (not to be confused with the US political party). However normative debates about domination have mostly remained limited to the context of domestic politics. Also the republican debate has not taken into account alternative ways of conceptualizing domination. Critical theorists liberals feminists critical race theorists and postcolonial writers have discussed domination in different ways focusing on such problems as imperialism racism and the subjection of indigenous peoples. This volume extends debates about domination to the global level and considers how other streams in political theory and nearby disciplines enrich expand upon and critique the republican tradition’s contributions to the debate. This volume brings together for the first time mostly original pieces on domination and global political justice by some of this generation’s most prominent scholars including Philip Pettit James Bohman Rainer Forst Amy Allen John McCormick Thomas McCarthy Charles Mills Duncan Ivison John Maynor Terry Macdonald Stefan Gosepath and Hauke Brunkhorst.

Domination and Power First published in 1987. Our understanding of the nature of power in western societies is currently undergoing a major reassessment. The significance of this reassessment emerges forcefully through comparing the writings of the principal exponents of Critical Theory - Max Horkheimer Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas - with those of Michel Foucault. Peter Miller suggests that these two traditions embody fundamentally distinct philosophical and sociological principles. He grounds his analysis in the concepts of domination (Critical Theory) and power (Foucault). Miller identifies the notion of subjectivity as central to a differentiation of the respective approaches of Critical Theory and Foucault. For Critical Theory it is the repression of subjectivity which provides the evidence of domination and the rationale for its critique while for Foucault subjectivity in western societies is fabricated through power and linked to the deployment of specific knowledges. Miller shows that despite the achievements of Critical Theory in bringing to light the repressive nature of advanced industrial societies its thinking is inadequate as a basis for future analysis and critique. He argues that Foucault’s genealogy of the modern subject which highlights the role of the human sciences in its fabrication is a more fruitful basis for charting and investigating the mode of operation of contemporary forms of power. The book includes a survey of all published works by Foucault up to the time of his death in 1984 and commentaries on the writings of Max Horkheimer Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas.

Domination and Subjugation in Everyday Life Reputable scholars have long charged that symbolic interactionism which is based on the principle of "sociality " discounts the importance that subordination plays in human groups. Emphasizing dominance and power Athens explains how subordination operates in human group life from a new interactionist's perspective aptly dubbed by him "radical interactionism."Expanding on the work of sociologist Robert E. Park Athens explains the nature and operation of super-ordination and subordination which he believes affects all social interaction between human beings and groups. He then develops a generic framework and a common terminology to help explain all forms of social conflicts. Athens argues that a radical interactionism disentangles the nature of domination power and force as well as the relationship among them in a manner consistent with the basic premises of the Chicago school of pragmatism.This book offers a provocative and intelligent outline of the development and evolution of radical interactionism a perspective interactionists can add to their toolbox with profit.

Dominations and PowersReflections on Liberty Society and Government In what must be ranked as a foremost classic of twentieth-century political philosophy George Santayana in the preface to his last major work prior to his death makes plain the limits as well as the aims of Dominations and Powers: "All that it professes to contain is glimpses of tragedy and comedy played unawares by governments; and a continual intuitive reduction of political maxims and institutions to the intimate spiritual fruits that they are capable of bearing."This astonishing volume shows how the potential beauty latent in all sorts of worldly artifacts and events are rooted in differing forms of power and dominion. The work is divided into three major parts: the generative order of society which covers growth in the jungle economic arts and the liberal arts; the militant order of society which examines factions and enterprise; and the rational order of society which contains one of the most sustained critiques of democratic systems and liberal ideologies extant.Written at a midpoint in the century but at the close of his career Santayana's volume offers an ominous account of the weakness of the West and its similarities in substance if not always in form with totalitarian systems of the East. Few analyses of concepts such as government by the people the price of peace and the suppression of warfare the nature of elites and limits of egalitarianism and the nature of authority in free societies are more comprehensive or compelling. This is a carefully rendered statement on tasks of leadership for free societies that take on added meaning after the fall of communism.The author of a definitive biography of Santayana John McCormick provides the sort of deep background that makes possible an assessment of Dominations and Powers. He permits us to better appreciate the place of this work at the start no less than conclusion of Santayana's long career. For the author of The Life of Reason himself admits to having led a life in unreason�deeply impacted by the war of 1914-1918 ^and then again 1939-1945.McCormick provides in his opening essay a careful story of Santayana's exile from his Anglo-American homeland a deeply embittered figure in search of options to annihilation at the military level and an alternative to false and fatuous ideologies at the spiritual level. We know better now how to cope with this profound yet disturbing classic in political thought. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138522428

Domingo de Soto and the Early GalileoEssays on Intellectual History The unifying theme in this second volume of essays by William A. Wallace to be published in the Variorum series is signaled in the title of the opening paper: 'Domingo de Soto and the Iberian roots of Galileo's science'. The seven essays in the first part provide textual studies of Soto's early formulations of the laws of falling bodies the context in which they were developed in the 16th century and the ways in which they were transmitted in Spain and Portugal to the early 17th century mainly by Jesuit scholars. The following essays focus on the young Galileo and his work at Pisa and Padua leading to his discovery of the law of uniform acceleration in free fall. Textual evidence is presented for an indirect influence of Soto's work on Galileo mediated by Jesuits who were teaching at Padua in the first decade of the 17th century.

Dominican Women and Renaissance ArtThe Convent of San Domenico of Pisa Starting from an inventory and other documents Ann Roberts has identified some 30 works of art that originated from the convent of San Domenico of Pisa. She here examines those objects commissioned for and made by the nuns during the fifteenth century; some of the objects included have never before been published. One of her goals in this study is to bring into the discussion of Renaissance art a body of images that have been previously overlooked because they come from a non-Florentine context and because they do not fit modern notions of the "development" of Renaissance style. She also analyzes the function of the images - social as well as religious - within the context of a female Dominican convent. Finally she offers descriptions of and documentation for the process of patronage as it was practiced by cloistered women and the making of art in such enclosures. The author presents a catalogue of works which gives basic data and bibliography for the objects described in the text. Roberts offers other valuable resources in the appendices including unpublished C19th inventories of the objects in the convent at various moments documents regarding the commission of works of art for the convent letters written by the nuns a list of the Prioresses of San Domenico lists of nuns at different points in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century and a list of the relics owned by the convent in the sixteenth century. Roberts firmly grounds her interpretation in the values of the Order to which the nuns belonged and in the political and social concerns of their city.

Donald Davidson Donald Davidson's work has been of seminal importance in the development of analytic philosophy and his views on the nature of language mind and action remain the starting point for many of the central debates in the analytic tradition. His ideas however are complex often technical and interconnected in ways that can make them difficult to understand. This introduction to Davidson's philosophy examines the full range of his writings to provide a clear succinct overview of his ideas. The book begins with an account of the assumptions and structure of Davidson's philosophy of language introducing his compositionalism extensionalism and commitment to a Tarski-style theory of truth as the model for theories of meaning. It goes on to show how that philosophical framework is to be applied and how it challenges the traditional picture. Marc Joseph examines Davidson's influential work on action theory and events and discusses the commonly made charge that his theory of action and mind leaves the mental as a mere 'epiphenomenon' of the physical. The final section explores Davidson's philosophy of mind some of its consequences for traditional views of subjectivity and objectivity and more generally the relation between minded beings and the physical and mental world they occupy.

Donald Davidson: Life and Words Donald Davidson (1917-2003) was one of the most prominent philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. His thinking about language mind and epistemology has shaped the views of several generations of philosophers. This book brings together articles by a host of prominent philosophers to provide new interpretations of Davidson’s key ideas about meaning language and thought. The book opens with short commemorative pieces by a wide range of people who knew Davidson well giving us glimpses into the life of a great philosopher a beloved husband and father a colleague teacher and friend. The chapter by Lepore and Ludwig and the ensuing heated debate with Frederick Stoutland on how to interpret Davidson demonstrate why Davidson’s legacy has become a disputed intellectual territory. The chapters by Kathrin Glüer Peter Pagin Barry Smith James Higginbotham and William Child all eminent philosophers of language are prime examples of just one strand of this legacy while the piece by Sophie Gibb gives us an opening to Davidson’s enormous contribution to philosophy of mind. Donald Davidson: Life and Words closes with a piece by Davidson himself first published in 1995 in the International Journal of Philosophical Studies where he brings together the various strands of his work in a Unified Theory of speech and action. This book comprises key articles first published in the International Journal of Philosophical Studies and previously unpublished commemorative pieces and serves as a fitting dedication to the work and memory of a great philosopher.

Donald Davidson’s Triangulation ArgumentA Philosophical Inquiry According to many commentators Davidson’s earlier work on philosophy of action and truth-theoretic semantics is the basis for his reputation and his later forays into broader metaphysical and epistemological issues and eventually into what became known as the triangulation argument are much less successful. This book by two of his former students aims to change that perception. In Part One Verheggen begins by providing an explanation and defense of the triangulation argument then explores its implications for questions concerning semantic normativity and reductionism the social character of language and thought and skepticism about the external world. In Part Two Myers considers what the argument can tell us about reasons for action and whether it can overcome skeptical worries based on claims about the nature of motivation the sources of normativity and the demands of morality. The book reveals Davidson’s later writings to be full of innovative and important ideas that deserve much more attention than they are currently receiving.

Donald W. Winnicott and the History of the PresentUnderstanding the Man and his Work In November 2015 The Winnicott Trust held a major conference in London to celebrate the forthcoming publication of the Collected Works of D. W. Winnicott. Most of the papers given then now constitute the chapters in this book. It not only reflects the ongoing contemporary relevance of Winnicott's work clinical and theoretical but these chapters demonstrate the aliveness of Winnicott's contribution as present day practitioners and academics use his ideas in their own way. The chapters range from accounts of the early developmental processes and relationships (Roussillon Murray) the psychoanalytic setting (Bolognini Bonaminio Fabozzi Joyce Hopkins) creativity and the arts (Wright Robinson) Winnicott in the outside world (Kahr Karpf) to the challenge to the psychoanalytic paradigm that Winnicott's ideas constitute (Loparic).

Donald W. WinnicottA New Approach Winnicott was continually innovating inventing and proposing unexpected solutions in his analytical work whenever he noticed that clinical experience "didn't stick to the theory". This approach can make his work seem rather diffuse with concepts that are sometimes confusing and needing to be clarified. Laura Dethiville has taken on the task of re-evaluating and explaining the principal rudiments of his theories such as the transitional object the self the false self the importance of environment and dissociation. She also reveals how Winnicott showed himself to be a forerunner in the care of symptomatic illness in our society including his innovative treatment of loss of identity anorexia or bulimia delinquency psychosomatic illness and school disorders. In this book the author has succeeded in avoiding psychoanalytic jargon and although initially aimed at psychoanalysts it is also accessible for educators child carers paediatricians and to all those interested in early childhood the constitution of the psyche and the constitution of the interpersonal link.

Donald Winnicott Today What in Winnicott’s theoretical matrix was truly revolutionary for psychoanalysis? In this book the editor and contributors provide a rare in-depth analysis of his original work and highlight the specifics of his contribution to the concept of early psychic development which revolutionised the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Including re-publications of selected Winnicott papers to set the scene for the themes and explorations in subsequent chapters the book examines how Winnicott expanded Freud’s work and how his discourse with Melanie Klein sharpened his thought and clinical innovations. Divided into 3 sections it covers: Introductory overviews on the evolution of Winnicott’s theoretical matrix Personal perspectives from eminent psychoanalysts on how Winnicott’s originality inspired their own work Further recent examinations and extensions including new findings from the archives Drawing on her own extensive knowledge of Winnicott and the expertise of the distinguished contributors Jan Abram shows us how Winnicott’s contribution constitutes a major psychoanalytic advance to the concept of subjectivity. As such it will be an inspiration to experienced psychoanalysts psychotherapists and all those interested in human nature and emotional development.

Donations to the Knights Hospitaller in Britain and Ireland 1291-1400 Donations to the Knights Hospitaller in Britain and Ireland 1291-1400 is the first study of donations to the Knights Hospitaller throughout England and Ireland during the late-thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The book demonstrates that patrons donated to both military and non-military orders for much the same reasons particularly family connections or the desire for spiritual benefit rather than an interest in crusading. Such a conclusion has important implications for the treatment of the military orders by scholars of medieval religion who traditionally have either overlooked these orders entirely or relegated them to a subfield of crusade studies rather than treating them as a full part of mainstream religious life. By reincorporating the military orders into mainstream religious history discussion will be furthered in a range of fields and debates such as ecclesiastical landholding lay-church relations the role of women in religion and the processes of the Reformation. By focusing on the period 1291 to 1400 the book considers the impact of the loss of the Holy Land in 1291; the subsequent diffusion in crusade activity to the Baltic and Spain; the intensification of the order’s career as English royal servants in Wales Scotland and Ireland; and the Hospitallers’ crusade to Rhodes in 1309-10.

Donne’s God His contemporaries recognised John Donne (1572-1631) as a completely new kind of poet. He was wrote one enthusiast ‘Copernicus in Poetrie’. But in the winter of 1614-15 Donne abandoned part-time versification for full-time priestly ministry quickly becoming one of the most popular preachers of his time. While his verse has never been short of modern admirers his sermons have recently begun to receive their full share of serious attention. Yet there exists almost no theologically-informed criticism to assist readers with navigating let alone appreciating the intricacies of Donne’s religious thinking. The need for such criticism is especially urgent since many readers approach his writing today with little previous knowledge of Christian doctrine or history. This book supplies that deficiency. Starting from the assumption that theology is inevitably the product of the human imagination a perception that is traced back to major early Christian writers (and something that Donne implicitly acknowledged) it probes the complex amalgam that constituted his ever-shifting vision of the deity. It examines his theological choices and their impact on his preaching analysing the latter with reference to its sometimes strained relationship with Christian orthodoxy and the implications of this for any attempt to determine how far Donne may legitimately be viewed as a mouthpiece for the Jacobean and Caroline Church of England. The book argues that the unconventionality that characterises his verse is also on display in his sermons. As a result it presents Donne as a far more creative and risk-taking religious thinker than has previously been recognised especially by those determined to see him as a paragon of conventional Christian orthodoxy.

Donor Conception and the Search for InformationFrom Secrecy and Anonymity to Openness This book examines donor conception and the search for information by donor-conceived people. It details differing regulatory approaches across the globe including those that provide for ‘open-identity’ or anonymous donation or that take a ‘dual-track’ approach. In doing so it identifies models regarding the recording and release of information about donors that may assist in the further development of the law policy and associated practices. Arguments for and against donor anonymity are considered and specifically critiqued. The study highlights contrasting reasoning and emphasis upon various interests and factors that may underpin secrecy anonymity or openness. The book will be of value to academics students and legal practitioners involved with this area. It is also relevant to policy makers health practitioners and anyone with an interest in the subject.

Donor Conception for LifePsychoanalytic Reflections on New Ways of Conceiving the Family This book is about the psychological experiences of women and men who have used donor conception to create their families. The authors offer diverse accounts of their clinical research and personal experiences. They describe the challenge of powerful conscious and unconscious fantasies that can be aroused and how these may reawaken early anxieties and developmental struggles. Whilst recipients of donated eggs or sperm may think they are simply acquiring a factor of reproduction they are also receiving the genetic history of another family. The sensitive management of these relationships is considered in relation to establishing healthy and well-functioning families. The way these emotional challenges are negotiated is likely to be reflected in how parents talk with children about their donor origins. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781782202035

Don't be FooledA Philosophy of Common Sense In the debate leading up to the EU referendum in the United Kingdom the British politician Michael Gove declared that "people in this country have had enough of experts". In the 2016 Presidential campaign in the United States Donald Trump waged a war against the very idea of expertise. Yet if you are worried about your child's behaviour don't know which laptop to buy or just want to get fit the answer is easy: ask an expert. Where do we draw the line? Why do we appear to know more and more collectively yet less and less individually? Has expertise painted itself into a corner? Can we defend both science and common sense? In this engaging and much-needed book Jan Bransen explores these important questions and more. He argues that the rise of behavioural sciences has caused a sea change in the relationship between science and common sense. He shows how - as recently as the 1960s - common sense and science were allies in the battle against ignorance but that since then populism and chauvinism have claimed common sense as their own. Bransen argues that common sense is a collection of interrelated skills that draw on both an automatic pilot and an investigative attitude where we ask ourselves the right questions. It is the very attitude of open-minded inquiry and questioning that Bransen believes we are at risk of losing in the face of an army of experts. Drawing on fascinating examples such as language and communication money the imaginary world of Endoxa domestic violence and quality of life Don't be Fooled: A Philosophy of Common Sense is a brilliant and wry defence of a skill that is a vital part of being human.

Don't Worry (It's Safe to Eat)The True Story of GM Food BSE and Foot and Mouth An investigation of science politics and our food production system this text exposes the bogus science political interference and flawed policies that threaten our food supply. The author tells the story of BSE revealing how top scientists have been muzzled and how the epidemic continues. Then against a backdrop of burning cows Andrew Rowell exposes how trade and macro-economic policies overruled good science in the foot and mouth catastrophe. He also opens the black box of the so-called GM revolution to expose the myth behind the marketing. In tracing how critics are silenced in the bottom-line climate of commercialized science and privatized knowledge Rowell tells the true story of the widely publicized Pusztai GM potato scandal of the late 1990s and the ongoing Mexican maize GM contamination affair. Finally the book offers radical solutions to make science work in the public interest and provide food that really is safe to eat. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138002128

Doomed FirmsAn Econometric Analysis of the Path to Failure This title was first published in 2003. This book provides a much-needed comprehensive and up-to-date treatise on financial distress modelling. Since many of the challenges facing researchers of financial distress can only be addressed by a totally new research design and modelling methodology this book concentrates on extending the potential for bankruptcy analysis from single-equation modelling to multi-equation analysis. Essentially the work provides an innovative new approach by comparing each firm with itself over time rather than testing specific hypotheses or improving predictive and classificatory accuracy. Added to this new design a whole new methodology - or way of modelling the process - is applied in the form of a family of models of which the traditional single equation logit or MDA models is just a special case. Preliminary two-equation and three-equation models are presented and tested in the final chapters as a taste of things to come. The groundwork for a full treatise on these sorts of multi-equation systems is laid for further study - this family of models could be used as a basis for more specific applications to different industries and to test hypotheses concerning influential variables to bankruptcy risk.

Dopamine - Glutamate Interactions in the Basal Ganglia The basal ganglia are involved in complex brain functions from voluntary movement control to learning and reward processing and they are implicated in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders. Information from the cerebral cortex and thalamus is conveyed to basal ganglia nuclei via glutamate release while dopamine from the midbrain is released in close proximity to glutamate. At the heart of both function and dysfunction of basal ganglia circuits is the interaction of these two neurotransmitters dopamine and glutamate.Elucidating the relationship between their molecular and cellular effects and behavioural significance has been challenging but in the past 5–10 years improved labeling imaging recording and genetic manipulation approaches have yielded new information on how dopamine and glutamate interact to generate the circuit activity underpinning basal ganglia function. Dopamine–Glutamate Interactions in the Basal Ganglia synthesizes this recent research from the level of receptor molecules all the way to complex behaviours and disease. Current insights from research on individual neurons and synapses detailed circuit analysis and learning and action functions of the basal ganglia are presented against a historical perspective. The book also discusses compromised dopamine–glutamate interaction in disorders of basal ganglia function including Parkinson’s disease Huntington’s disease and drug addiction.

Doping in Elite SportsVoices of French Sportspeople and Their Doctors 1950-2010 Drawing on rich empirical material from elite French sport this book offers a detailed history of how the concept of doping evolved from the twentieth to the twenty-first century. The first study to span the period from 1950 to 2010 it sheds new light on the extraordinary world of elite sport in France – a world governed by its own moral standards and defined by extreme expectations of physical performance and highly medicalised training regimes. Including exclusive insights from athletes and their doctors it explains how the use of drugs became an integral part of training in elite French sport. Considering the complex and paradoxical moral arguments that frame this phenomenon it explores the decades-long social and political process that resulted in the normalisation of this doping culture. Drawing on examples from cycling athletics weightlifting wrestling and bodybuilding this book compares doping practices in these sports and questions the effectiveness of anti-doping policies.

Doping in SportA Defence In this provocative and thought-provoking book Professor of Ethics Thomas Søbirk Petersen explains why the World Anti-Doping Agency’s doping rules are poorly justified and makes a case for a new third way in anti-doping policy that would allow athletes to use substances and methods currently on WADA’s prohibited list. The book identifies clarifies and challenges the central arguments that are used in the often highly emotional debates around doping and argues strongly that open dialogue about doping is essential as it defines the territory in which athletes physicians managers coaches and pharmaceutical companies can operate safely. It is rooted in the theory of ethics and illustrated with real cases examples and experiences from sport at all levels from the auto-biographical to some of the most high-profile doping cases in history. This is an essential addition to the bookshelves of researchers and students of sports studies like sports philosophy sports law sports medicine and the sociology of sport and a fascinating read for anybody interested in the darker side of sport and in its possible futures.

Doris Lessing Doris Lessing was one of the most impressive prolific and vital of twentieth century writers. Her fiction is obsessed with the workings of cultural change and she radically extended the novel’s scope – most famously and influentially in The Golden Notebook – by questioning the realist tradition she inherited and the wider social beliefs about self sexuality and authority which that tradition symbolized. This study originally published in 1983 surveys her epic output from her early African writings to her later experiments with space fiction. It traces her struggles to decentre imaginative life and to erase and to redraw the boundaries of our mental maps in favour of values on the margins of the official culture.

Dorothea Lange Documentary Photography and Twentieth-Century AmericaReinventing Self and Nation Dorothea Lange Documentary Photography and Twentieth-Century America charts the life of Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) whose life was radically altered by the Depression and whose photography helped transform the nation. The book begins with her childhood in immigrant metropolitan New York shifting to her young adulthood as a New Woman who apprenticed herself to Manhattan’s top photographers then established a career as portraitist to San Francisco’s elite. When the Great Depression shook America’s economy Lange was profoundly affected. Leaving her studio Lange confronted citizens’ anguish with her camera documenting their economic and social plight. This move propelled her to international renown. This biography synthesizes recent New Deal scholarship and photographic history and probes the unique regional histories of the Pacific West the Plains and the South. Lange’s life illuminates critical transformations in the U.S. specifically women’s evolving social roles and the state’s growing capacity to support vulnerable citizens. The author utilizes the concept of "care work " the devalued nurturing of others often considered women’s work to analyze Lange’s photography and reassert its power to provoke social change. Lange’s portrayal of the Depression’s ravages is enmeshed in a deeply political project still debated today of the nature of governmental responsibility toward citizens’ basic needs. Students and the general reader will find this a powerful and insightful introduction to Dorothea Lange her work and legacy. Dorothea Lange Documentary Photography and Twentieth-Century America makes a compelling case for the continuing political and social significance of Lange’s work as she recorded persistent injustices such as poverty labor exploitation racism and environmental degradation.

Dorothy Wordsworth's Ecology Dorothy Wordsworth has a unique place in literary studies. Notoriously self-effacing she assiduously eschewed publication yet in her lifetime her journals inspired William to write some of his best-known poems. Memorably depicting daily life in a particular environment (most famously Grasmere) these journals have proven especially useful for readers wanting a more intimate glimpse of arguably the most important poet of the Romantic period. With the rise of women’s studies in the 1980s however came a shift in critical perspective. Scholars such as Margaret Homans and Susan Levin revaluated Dorothy’s work on its own terms as well as in relation to other female writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Part of a larger shift in the academy feminist-oriented analyses of Dorothy’s writings take their place alongside other critical approaches emerging in the 1980s and into the next decade. One such approach ecocriticism closely parallels Dorothy’s changing critical fortunes in the mid-to-late 1980s. Curiously however the major ecocritical investigations of the Romantic period all but ignore Dorothy’s work while at the same time emphasizing the relationship between ecocriticism and feminism. The present study situates Dorothy in an ongoing ecocritical dialogue through an analysis of her prose and poetry in relation to the environments that inspired it.

Dose Finding by the Continual Reassessment Method As clinicians begin to realize the important role of dose-finding in the drug development process there is an increasing openness to "novel" methods proposed in the past two decades. In particular the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) and its variations have drawn much attention in the medical community though it has yet to become a commonplace tool. To overcome the status quo in phase I clinical trials statisticians must be able to design trials using the CRM in a timely and reproducible manner. A self-contained theoretical framework of the CRM for researchers and graduate students who set out to learn and do research in the CRM and dose-finding methods in general Dose Finding by the Continual Reassessment Method features: Real clinical trial examples that illustrate the methods and techniques throughout the book Detailed calibration techniques that enable biostatisticians to design a CRM in timely manner Limitations of the CRM are outlined to aid in correct use of method This book supplies practical efficient dose-finding methods based on cutting edge statistical research. More than just a cookbook it provides full unified coverage of the CRM in addition to step-by-step guidelines to automation and parameterization of the methods used on a regular basis. A detailed exposition of the calibration of the CRM for applied statisticians working with dose-finding in phase I trials the book focuses on the R package ‘dfcrm’ for the CRM and its major variants. The author recognizes clinicians’ skepticism of model-based designs and addresses their concerns that the time professional and computational resources necessary for accurate model-based designs can be major bottlenecks to the widespread use of appropriate dose-finding methods in phase I practice. The theoretically- and empirically-based methods in Dose Finding by the Continual Reassessment Method will lessen the statistician’s burden and encourage the continuing development and implementation of model-based dose-finding methods.

Dose-Response Analysis Using R Nowadays the term dose-response is used in many different contexts and many different scientific disciplines including agriculture biochemistry chemistry environmental sciences genetics pharmacology plant sciences toxicology and zoology. In the 1940 and 1950s dose-response analysis was intimately linked to evaluation of toxicity in terms of binary responses such as immobility and mortality with a limited number of doses of a toxic compound being compared to a control group (dose 0). Later dose-response analysis has been extended to other types of data and to more complex experimental designs. Moreover estimation of model parameters has undergone a dramatic change from struggling with cumbersome manual operations and transformations with pen and paper to rapid calculations on any laptop. Advances in statistical software have fueled this development. Key Features: Provides a practical and comprehensive overview of dose-response analysis. Includes numerous real data examples to illustrate the methodology. R code is integrated into the text to give guidance on applying the methods. Written with minimal mathematics to be suitable for practitioners. Includes code and datasets on the book’s GitHub: https://github.com/DoseResponse. This book focuses on estimation and interpretation of entirely parametric nonlinear dose-response models using the powerful statistical environment R. Specifically this book introduces dose-response analysis of continuous binomial count multinomial and event-time dose-response data. The statistical models used are partly special cases partly extensions of nonlinear regression models generalized linear and nonlinear regression models and nonlinear mixed-effects models (for hierarchical dose-response data). Both simple and complex dose-response experiments will be analyzed. Media > Books > Print Books Chapman & Hall 9781138034310

Dostoevsky 1821-1881 The bare events of Dostoevsky’s life – his father murdered by peasants his own ordeal before a firing squad then exile in Siberia his epilepsy gambling poverty and debts – go far to account for his strange intensity of vision. This biography first published in 1931 traces his wayward development from his strict and secluded childhood to his debut as ‘literary pimple’ through his years of anguish to his maturity as artist and final apotheosis as Russian patriot. Written some fifty years after Dostoevsky’s death when the material necessary for a full study first became available Carr’s classic study reflects an approach to the life and genius of Dostoevsky dominated by the concerns of the mid-twentieth century. With its illuminating chapters on each of the great novels and its stylistic precision this treatment of Dostoevsky remains a perfect introduction to the man both as a novelist and as a human being.

Dostoevsky and Dickens: A Study of Literary Influence (RLE Dickens)Routledge Library Editions: Charles Dickens Volume 9 What did Dickens mean to Dostoevsky and what did the Russian writer owe to England’s greatest entertainer? Many of Dickens’ readers including George Gissing and Edmund Wilson have recognized that his achievement needs to be compared with Dostoevsky’s and they have suspected or assumed an influence.

Dostoevsky and the Affirmation of Life Dostoevsky's philosophy of life is unfolded in this searching analysis of his five greatest works: Notes from the Underground Crime and Punishment The Idiot The Possessed and The Brothers Karamazov. Predrag Cicovacki deals with a fundamental issue in Dostoevsky's opus neglected by all of his commentators: How can we affirm life and preserve a healthy optimism in the face of an increasingly troublesome reality? This work displays the vital significance of Dostoevsky's philosophy for understanding the human condition in the twenty-first century.The main task of this insightful effort is to reconstruct and examine Dostoevsky's "aesthetically" motivated affirmation of life based on cycles of transgression and restoration. If life has no meaning as his central figures claim it is absurd to affirm life and pointless to live. Since Dostoevsky's doubts concerning the meaning of life resonate so deeply in our own age of pessimism and relativism the central question of this book whether Dostoevsky can overcome the skepticism of his most brilliant creation is innately relevant.This volume includes a thorough literary analysis of Dostoevsky's texts yet even those who have not read all of these novels will find Cicovacki's analysis interesting and enthralling. The reader will easily extrapolate Cicovacki's own philosophical interpretation of Dostoevsky's literary heritage. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781412853835

Dostoevsky and The Idea of RussiannessA New Perspective on Unity and Brotherhood This book examines Dostoevsky's interest in and engagement with "Slavophilism" - a Russian mid-nineteenth century movement of conservative nationalist thought. It explores Dostoevsky's views as expressed in both his non-fiction and fiction on the religious spiritual and moral ideas which he considered to be innately Russian. It concludes that Dostoevsky is an important successor to the Slavophiles in that he developed their ideas in a more coherent fashion broadening their moral and spiritual concerns into a more universal message about the true worth of Russia and her people.

Dostoevsky Portrayed by His WifeThe Diary and Reminiscences of Mme. Dostoevsky The two note-books of the diary of Mme. Dostoevsky the rough notes of her lengthy Reminiscences unfinished at the time of her death all in her own hand-writing and copies of her husband’s letters to her from 1866 to 1881 were found in August 1922. The Diary is a large volume of about 400 pages published in the original Russian by the Central Archives in 1923. Both note-books relate to the time when the Dostoevskys were living abroad – in Berlin Dresden and Baden – whilst the Reminiscences was intended as a complete character portrait. This volume first published in 1923 presents such selections from the entries in the diary the Reminiscences and correspondence as is valuable for the better understanding of Dostoevsky. It offers remarkable insights into his often opaque personality particularly in relation to his personal habits his manner and character and his relationship with his devoted wife Anna Gregorevna.

Dostoevsky's Spiritual ArtThe Burden of Vision Fyodor Dostoevsky's highest and most permanent achievement as a novelist lies in his exploration of man's religious complex his world and his fate. His primary vision is to be found in his last five novels: Crime and Punishment The Idiot The Devils A Raw Youth and The Brothers Karamazov. This volume culminates twenty years of studying teaching and writing on Dostoevsky. Here George A. Panichas critically analyzes the religious themes and meanings of the author's major works. Focusing on the pervasive spiritual consciousness at play Panichas views Dostoevsky not as a religious doctrinaire but as a visionary whose five great novels constitute a sequential meditation on man's human and superhuman destiny.

DostoevskyThe Author as Psychoanalyst Andrï Gide once said that Feodor Dostoevsky "lost himself in the characters of his books and for this reason it is in them that he can be found again." In Dostoevsky: The Author as Psychoanalyst Louis Breger approaches Dostoevsky psychoanalytically not as a "patient" to be analyzed but as a fellow psychoanalyst someone whose life and fiction are intertwined in the process of literary self-exploration.Raskolnikov's dream of the suffering horse in Crime and Punishment has become one of the best known in all literature its rich imagery expressing meaning on many levels. Using this as a starting point Breger goes on to offer a detailed analysis of the novel situating it at the pivotal point in Dostoevsky's life between the death of his first wife and his second marriage. Using insights from his psychological training Breger also explores other works by Dostoevsky among them his early novel The Double which Breger relates to the nervous breakdown that Dostoevsky suffered in his twenties as well as Notes from Underground The Possessed The Idiot The Brothers Karamazov and so forth. Additionally details from Dostoevsky's own life - his compulsive gambling his epilepsy his philosophical political religious and mystical beliefs and the interpretations of them found in existing biographies - are analyzed in detail.

Double Accounting for GoodwillA Problem Redefined Goodwill sometimes purchased but often more significantly internally generated is the major constituent of the value of many listed companies. Accounting aims to provide users of financial statements with useful information and more than fifty current International Financial Reporting Standards prescribe accounting disclosure requirements in minute detail. However these Standards dismiss internally generated goodwill with a single brief provision that it is not to be brought to account at all. The impairment regime now laid down for dealing with purchased goodwill contains severe flaws while previous methods have also been found to be unsatisfactory. This book traces the history of the goodwill accounting controversy in detail and demonstrates that it has been a prime example of an issue ‘conceived in a way that it is in principle unsolvable’. It explores the problem of recognising the importance of goodwill as a whole and finding a way of presenting meaningful information regarding it in the context of the financial statements. The author’s proposed solution builds upon research undertaken and uses a Market Capitalization Statement based on a modification of nineteenth century ‘double accounting’ in a modern context. Examples show that the proposed Market Capitalization Statement has the potential to provide significant information not currently available form conventional financial statements which in turn are freed to present clearer information.

Double BurdenBlack Women and Everyday Racism Studies of contemporary black women are rare and scattered and are often extensions of a legacy beginning in the 19th century that characterized black women as domineering matriarchs prostitutes or welfare queens negative characterizations that are perpetuated by both white and non-white social scientists. Based on over 200 interviews this book departs from these conventions in significant ways and using a "collective memory" conceptual framework shows how black women cope with and interpret lives often limited by racial barriers not of their making.

Double ExposureMemory and Photography Over the past decade historians and sociologists have increasingly used visual materials in particular photographs in their work. This volume brings together historians sociologists anthropologists and media and visual scholars to articulate how photography as a practice and as a visual medium can provide insights into national memory collective identities and the historical imagination. This collection allows the reader to trace parallel conceptual developments occurring in the sociology and anthropology of memory and in the history and theory of photography and to illustrate the unique "angles of vision" these disciplines offer.Photographic images commonly accompany historical accounts from documentaries to family scrapbooks and since the early days of commercial photography pictures have been viewed as tools to capture memories. Later critical writing has challenged this equation by inverting it: photos along with other archival practices were often viewed as falling short of their supposed function as vessels of memory and at times even denounced as devices that distorted memories.How does photography participate in the formation and maintenance of collective identities and shared memory discourses from the family to the nation? Furthermore how can we begin to conceptualize photography's effects on the historical imagination of individuals and groups? Double Exposure endeavors to answer these questions by calling attention to the variety of contexts in which images circulate and to the narratives from which they spring and which they in turn shape. This is the latest volume in Transaction's Memory and Narrative series. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138509306

Double TalkThe Erotics of Male Literary Collaboration Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer on hysteria J.A. Symonds and Havelock Ellis on sexuality a novel by Ford Madox Ford and Joseph Conrad The Waste Land of T.S. Eliot (and Ezra Pound) even the Lyrical Ballads of Wordsworth and Coleridge: men making books together. Wayne Koestenbaum's startling interpretation of literary collaboration focuses on homosexual desire: men write together he argues in order either to express or to evade homosexual feelings. Their writing becomes a textual intercourse the book at once a female body they can share and the child of their partnership. These man-made texts steal a generative power that women's bodies seem to represent. Seen as the site of a struggle between homosexual and homophobic energies the texts Koestenbaum explores – works of psychoanalysis sexology fiction and poetry – emerge as more complex more revealing. They crystallize and refract the anxiety of male sexuality at the end of the last century and open up a deeper understanding of connections today between the erotic and the literary. Drawing upon the work of feminist critics Koestenbaum connects male collaboration and the exchange of women within patriarchy: he peers into both medical texts and imaginative literature disturbing our ready acceptance of the co-authored work. This strong and unsettling book transforms our understanding of the creative process providing a new sense of what both collaborative and solitary artistry mean.

Double TroubleThe Doppelgänger from Romanticism to Postmodernism The double doppelgänger is mostly understood as a peculiar figure that emerged in nineteenth-century Romantic and gothic literature. Far from being a merely esoteric entity however this book argues that the double although it mostly goes unnoticed is a widespread phenomenon that has significant influence on our lives. It is an inherent key element of human subjectivity whose functions forms and effects have not yet gained the serious consideration they merit. Drawing on literature philosophy and psychoanalysis and combining a personal story with theoretical interventions Double Trouble develops a novel understanding of the double and human subjectivity in the last two centuries. It begins with the singular and narcissistic double of Romanticism and gradually moves to the multiple doubles implicated by Postmodernism. The double is what defies unicity and opens up the subject to multiplicity. Consequently it gradually emerges as a bridge between the I and the Other identity and difference philosophy and literature theory and praxis. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367441449

Doubles and Hybrids in Latin American Gothic Doubles and Hybrids in Latin American Gothic focuses on a recurrent motif that is fundamental in the Gothic—the double. This volume explores how this ancient notion acquires tremendous force in a region Latin America which is itself defined by duplicity (indigenous/European autochthonous religions/Catholic). Despite this duplicity and at the same time because of it this region has also generated "mestizaje " or forms resulting from racial mixing and hybridity. This collection then aims to contribute to the current discussion about the Gothic in Latin America by examining the doubles and hybrid forms that result from the violent yet culturally fertile process of colonization that took place in the area.

Doubt In an age where art history’s questions are now expected to receive answers Richard Shiff presents a challenging alternative. In this essential new addition to James Elkins’s series Theories of Modernism and Postmodernism in the Visual Arts Richard Shiff embraces doubt as a critical tool and asks how particular histories of art have come to be. Shiff’s turn to doubt is not a retreat to relativism but rather an insistence on clear thinking about art. In particular Shiff takes issue with the style of self-referential art writing seemingly 'licensed' by Roland Barthes. With an introduction by Rosie Bennett Doubt is a study of the tension between practicing art and practicing criticism. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203928073

Doubt Conviction and the Analytic ProcessSelected Papers of Michael Feldman In this profound and subtle study a practising psychoanalyst explores the dynamics of the interaction between the patient and the analyst. Michael Feldman draws the reader into experiencing how the clinical interaction unfolds within a session. In doing so he develops some of the implications of the important pioneering work of such analysts as Klein Rosenfeld and Joseph showing in fine detail some of the ways in which the patient feels driven to communicate to the analyst not only in order to be understood by him but also in order to affect him.  The author's detailed descriptions of the clinical process allow the reader to follow the actual process that enables the patient to get into contact with thoughts and feelings of which he or she was previously unconscious or only vaguely aware.  Feldman makes the reader aware of the constant dynamic interaction between the patient and the analyst each affecting the other. He shows how the analyst has to find a balance between doubt uncertainty and confusion in himself and through this process may arrive at an understanding of what is happening and by formulating this understanding the analyst can make a significant contribution to the process of psychic change. This collection of essays not only throws light on fascinating questions of technique but also reflects on elements that are fundamental to psychoanalytic work. It is essential reading for practising psychoanalysts and those in training as well as anyone with a general interest in the psychoanalytic relationship between the client and the therapist in the consulting room.

Down from the TreesMan’s Amazing Transition from Tree-Dwelling Ape Ancestors Down from the Trees: Man’s Amazing Transition from Tree-Dwelling Ape Ancestors covers the evolution of man from tree-dwelling ape to Homo sapiens as he is today. Using easy-to-read language the author takes complex jargon-filled material and extracts the essence of the topic and coveys it in a clear and engaging manner. He approaches the subject of human evolution from three different disciplines: fossil evidence and its interpretation evolutionary theory and its applicability and genetic evidence and its ability to unlock prehistoric information. The third discipline has advanced unbelievably in the last few years and this book includes the most up-to-date research. There is nothing more interesting to humans than the story of their origins. The evolutionary process of a tree-dwelling ape becoming a walking talking man who has developed the technology to walk on the moon transplant hearts or modify living things is no trivial story. This book provides a fascinating and comprehensive view of what science has learned of human evolution. Media > Books > Print Books Apple Academic Press 9781771887335

Down's Syndrome Screening and Reproductive PoliticsCare Choice and Disability in the Prenatal Clinic Nominated for the Foundation of Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize 2018 In the UK and beyond Down’s syndrome screening has become a universal programme in prenatal care. But why does screening persist particularly in light of research that highlights pregnant women’s ambivalent and problematic experiences with it? Drawing on an ethnography of Down’s syndrome screening in two UK clinics Thomas explores how and why we are so invested in this practice and what effects this has on those involved. Informed by theoretical approaches that privilege the mundane and micro practices discourses materials and rituals of everyday life Down’s Syndrome Screening and Reproductive Politics describes the banal world of the clinic and in particular the professionals contained within it who are responsible for delivering this programme. In so doing it illustrates how Down’s syndrome screening is ‘downgraded’ and subsequently stabilised as a ‘routine’ part of a pregnancy. Further the book captures how this routinisation is deepened by a systematic but subtle framing of Down’s syndrome as a negative pregnancy outcome. By unpacking the complex relationships between professionals parents technology policy and clinical practice Thomas identifies how and why screening is successfully routinised and how it is embroiled in both new and familiar debates surrounding pregnancy ethics choice diagnosis care disability and parenthood.

Downsizing the Federal GovernmentManagement of Public Sector Workforce Reductions The main focus of downsizing has shifted from the private to the public sector. The cutbacks began in the Department of Defense. Now the goal is a federal civilian workforce reduction of 12 percent by the year 2000.This pioneering study looks at the management of workforce reductions in the public sector both in theory and in practice. Three case studies -- of the Defense Logistics Agency the Bureau of Reclamation and the Food and Drug Administration -- illustrate the organizational managerial and human dimensions of attempting to improve performance with reduced resources. The author draws on extensive interviews with senior executives and middle managers in the three agencies; at the General Accounting Office the Office of Personnel Management and the National Performance Review; the Senior Executives Association and the Federal Managers Association; and scholars and researchers.In a larger sense this work pushes the boundaries of knowledge concerning organizational change and makes a significant contribution to organization theory. It offers important new insights not only for public sector managers but for organization theorists and management specialists whose work on downsizing has been presumed but not shown to be applicable to the public sector.

Downward Entailing and Chinese Polarity Items Polarity phenomena are pervasively observed in natural languages. Previous studies on Chinese polarity items are mainly in line with the non-veridicality approach. This book however employs the downward-entailing hypothesis as its analytical foundation and argues that downward entailment is the only licensor for different kinds of Chinese polarity items and non-veridicality is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition and thus offers inferior explanatory power compared with the former. To begin with it lays the groundwork for this research by presenting a brief introduction to polarity phenomena and reviewing the existing relevant theories. Then it addresses the status of the commonly used element dou in Chinese. Specifically it applies the tripartite structural frame to the studies of dou and examines the role of dou in licensing the polarity items. Moreover it investigates the properties and behavior of dou with respect to modality. Based on the analysis above it observes that non-interrogative wh-indeterminates in Chinese can be licensed in the restriction domain of a necessity operator. Also the non-uniformity of three Chinese polarity items i.e. shenme na-CL and renhe is scrutinized within the downward-entailing framework. This book will appeal to scholars teachers and students in the field of linguistics especially in the areas of formal semantics and generative grammar. Researchers and engineers in cloud computing and big data who are seeking help from linguistic contributions to meaning and logic will also benefit from it.

Drafting LegislationA Modern Approach Drafting Legislation sets out to prove Sir William Dale's doctrine that the rules for drafting good quality legislation are the same in common and civil systems of law. Legislative solutions can therefore serve the drafter the judge and the practitioner of any jurisdiction. The book discusses the general issue of quality in legislation from the legislative process to the actual drafting interpretation and enforcement.

Drag Interperformance and the Trouble with Queerness This story of drag kings and queens at Cleveland Ohio’s most popular gay bar reveals that these genres have little in common and introduces interperformance a framework for identity formation and coalition building that provides strategies for repairing longstanding rifts in the LGBT community. Drag Interperformance and the Trouble with Queerness is the first book centered on queer life in this growing midwestern hub and the first to focus simultaneously on kinging and queening. It shows that despite the shared heading of drag these iconically queer institutions diverge in terms of audience movement vocabulary stage persona and treatment of gender class race and sexuality. Horowitz argues that the radical (in)difference between kings and queens provides a window into the perennial rift between lesbians and gay men and challenges the assumption that all identities subsumed under the queer umbrella ought to have anything in common culturally politically or otherwise. Drawing on performer interviews about the purpose of drag contestations over space and the eventual shuttering of the bar they called home Horowitz offers a new way of thinking about identity as a product of relations and argues that relationality is our best hope for building queer communities across lines of difference. The book will be key reading for students and faculty in the interdisciplinary fields of feminist gender and sexuality studies; performance studies; American studies; cultural studies; ethnography; and rhetoric. It will be useful to graduate students and faculty interested in queer culture gender performance and transgender studies. At the same time the clear and relatable writing style will make it accessible to undergraduates and well suited to upper-level courses in queer theory LGBTQ identities performance studies and qualitative research methods.

Dragons EntangledIndochina and the China-Vietnam War In February 1979 China launched a full scale attack on Vietnam bringing to the surface the deep tension between the two socialist neighbours. The importance of the resultant war is often overlooked. Millions of people throughout the region were affected and the frictions that remain in the wake of the war threaten the prospects for peace not only in Southeast Asia but also the whole Asia-Pacific region as well. This is a full scale examination of the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War - the events that led to it the Cold War aftermath and the implications for the region and beyond.

DragonwarsArmed Struggle and the Conventions of Modern War For centuries international order has been troubled by small wars insurrections and revolts--low intensity conflicts. With the implosion of the Soviet empire many thought such violence could be eradicated through the growth of democracy open societies and increased productivity and education. Instead the world remains filled with turmoil pogroms famine civil war rebellion and terror often instigated by armed and dangerous zealots. To Americans such killers seem alien and inexplicable fanatics without reason beyond the reach of conventional containment or retaliation. J. Bowyer Bell here explores the psychological and strategic ecosystems (which he terms dragon worlds) of modern political violence and suggests how America might effectively deal with it.Dragonwars combines analysis with historical examples drawn from America's involvement with armed struggle in Lebanon Central Am-erica Greece and Vietnam. In each instance Bell argues American policy was flawed by lack of empathy and historical understanding combined with a belief that failure could be traced to mistakes in details and procedures. The break up of the old bipolar U.S.-Soviet confrontation released suppressed ambitions tribal greed and greater flexibility for the small player. With new technologies of terror zones of security will become smaller since open societies present attractive targets for zealots. Bell rejects the notion that massive force can effect a swift and final result. Instead a new type of warrior will be required; one versed in history and empathetic to the belief-systems of the dragonworlds in which they are deployed.Bell acknowledges that his proposals run counter to American belief and practice but argues that in the face of insoluble conflicts incremental advantages through limited altered global arena Dragonwars will prove an indispensable guide for policymakers military planners historians and political scientists.

Drain for Gain: Making Water Management Worth its SaltSubsurface Drainage Practices in Irrigated Agriculture in Semi-arid and Arid Regions Multi-channel estuaries such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Scheldt in the Netherlands have characteristics of both the river and the sea forming a unique environment influenced by tidal movements of the sea and freshwater flow of the river. This study addresses a number of knowledge gaps in multi-channel estuaries by developing a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries. The new approach agrees well with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations indicating its applicability in practice. Most importantly the study has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual circulation and the related salt dispersion.

Drama Creativity and IntersubjectivityThe Roots of Change in Dramatherapy Drama Creativity and Intersubjectivity presents a new theoretical approach to dramatherapy. The book examines the key concepts of creativity and intersubjectivity in detail through a comparison of their manifestations in children’s life and the major scientific studies and developing research in the fields. Linking these concepts Salvo Pitruzzella argues that 'identity' as a construct is now outmoded and needs to be replaced with a more relational model. His ideas impact on dramatherapy theory updating its basic tenets and providing insight into how it practically works with a focus on imagination as a major tool to support change. Drama Creativity and Intersubjectivity will appeal to dramatherapists in training and practice as well as other professionals in the field of arts therapies plus those with a general interest in Creative Arts Therapies.

Drama Disability and EducationA critical exploration for students and practitioners What can society learn about disability through the way it is portrayed in TV films and plays? This insightful and accessible text explores and analyses the way disability is portrayed in drama and how that portrayal may be interpreted by young audiences. Investigating how disabilities have been represented on stage in the past this book discusses what may be inferred from plays which feature disabled characters through a variety of critical approaches. In addition to the theoretical analysis of disability in dramatic literature the book includes two previously unpublished playscripts both of which have been performed by secondary school aged students and which focus on issues of disability and its effects on others. The contextual notes and discussion which accompany these plays and projects provide insights into how drama can contribute to disability education and how it can give a voice to students who have special educational needs themselves. Other features of this wide-ranging text include: an annotated chronology that traces the history of plays that have featured disabled characters an analysis of how disability is used as a dramatic metaphor consideration of the ethics of dramatising a disabled character critical accounts of units of work in mainstream school seeking to raise disability awareness through engagement with practical drama and dramatic texts a description and evaluation of a drama project in a special school. In tackling questions and issues that have not hitherto been well covered Drama Disability and Education will be of enormous interest to drama students teachers researchers and pedagogues who work with disabled people or are concerned with raising awareness and understanding of disability.

Drama Oratory and Thucydides in Fifth-Century AthensTeaching Imperial Lessons This study centres on the rhetoric of the Athenian empire Thucydides’ account of the Peloponnesian War and the notable discrepancies between his assessment of Athens and that found in tragedy funeral orations and public art. Mills explores the contradiction between Athenian actions and their self-representation arguing that Thucydides’ highly critical cynical approach to the Athenian empire does not reflect how the average Athenian saw his city’s power. The popular education of the Athenians as presented to them in funeral speeches drama and public art told a very different story from that presented by Thucydides’ history and it was far more palatable to ordinary Athenians since it offered them a highly flattering portrayal of their city and by extension each individual who made up that city. Drama Oratory and Thucydides in Fifth-Century Athens: Teaching Imperial Lessons offers a fascinating insight into Athenian self-representation and will be of interest to anyone working on classical Athens the Greek polis and classical historiography.

Drama and EducationPerformance Methodologies for Teaching and Learning Drama and Education provides a practical comprehensive guide to drama as a tool for teaching and learning. It is among the first practical drama and performance textbooks that address brain-based neuroscientific research making the argument that creativity is necessary in our lives that embodied learning is natural and essential and that contextual learning helps us find our place in society in relationship to other peoples and cultures. As well as a historical and theoretical overview of the field it provides rationale and techniques for several specific methodologies:　linear drama process-oriented drama drama for social justice and performance art. Each approach is supplemented with sample lesson plans activities ideas for differentiation and extensive bibliographies. The topics are discussed from five key angles: 　 • Historical and theoretical foundations • Curricular applications • Practical toolkits for a range of classrooms and learning environments • Different strategies for lesson plans • Extension options for longer workshops. 　 Alongside these core methods the integration of other innovative forms—from performance art to Theatre of the Oppressed—into drama-based learning is explored as well as the pragmatic concerns such as assessment planning and advocacy for arts learning and arts education partnerships. 　 Drama and Education is the comprehensive textbook for teachers and students on Applied Theatre and Theatre and Education courses.

Drama and Social JusticeTheory research and practice in international contexts "This text offers a cohesive framework for exploring social justice through drama and drama from a social justice perspective. Research based examples of practice from a range of international contexts link theory and practice. Connecting chapters raise key critical questions in an engaging dialogue format. An important addition to the literature on social justice education." - Lee Anne Bell author Storytelling for Social Justice (2010) and co-editor of Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice (Routledge 2007) Much has been written within the tradition of drama education and applied theatre around the premise that drama can be a force for change within both individual lives and society more broadly. However little has been published in terms of charting the nature of this relationship. By combining theoretical historical and practical perspectives this book unpacks and explores drama’s intrinsically entwined relationship with society more comprehensively and critically.Chapters gather together and develop a range of theoretical understandings of social justice in applied drama in the first part of the book which are then used to frame and inform more focused discussions of drama research and practice in the second. Contributors move beyond practical understandings of drama for empowerment or development in order to engage with the philosophy of praxis – the interconnected and symbiotic nature of theory derived from practice and practice derived from theory. Including concrete examples from current research and practice in the field the book opens up a conversation on and counter-narrative to perceptions of the nature and impact of applied theatre and drama education on social justice.Drama and Social Justice will be key reading for postgraduate students academics researchers and field-based practitioners in the areas of applied drama and theatre education and youth work and social justice and the social sciences.

Drama and the Succession to the Crown 1561-1633 The succession to the throne Lisa Hopkins argues here was a burning topic not only in the final years of Elizabeth but well into the 1630s with continuing questions about how James's two kingdoms might be ruled after his death. Because the issue with its attendant constitutional questions was so politically sensitive Hopkins contends that drama with its riddled identities oblique relationship to reality and inherent blurring of the extent to which the situation it dramatizes is indicative or particular offered a crucial forum for the discussion. Hopkins analyzes some of the ways in which the dramatic works of the time - by Marlowe Shakespeare Webster and Ford among others - reflect negotiate and dream the issue of the succession to the throne.

Drama and Theatre in Urban Contexts Urban theatre can be described as theatre made with or by those whose lives are marked by the urban landscape and its social limits and possibilities. At the heart of this text lies the question of how theatre can illuminate the urban and how theatre is illuminated by the urban. The city like a play is a space where everything adopts multiple meanings. It is an objective thought and a subjective experience a charged and symbolic thing as well as a real material lived reality. The chapters in this book illustrate the theatre’s uncanny ability to narrate and symbolize the physical and psychic space of the city. Running through all of the pieces presented are the themes of power and of young people’s sense of agency within the structures they dwell in and are shaped by. Through drama education and applied theatre practices the affinity between the urban and its theatres is radically replaced by marginal spaces boulevards and schools. As Guillermo Gómez-Peña suggests the theatre has gone to the people to serve their local and immediate need for a means of holding the urban and the self so that both can be interrogated and re-imagined; so that the various dystopias of urban existence can be envisaged as places of urban solidarity and as utopias at least of the mind.

Drama Education and DramatherapyExploring the space between disciplines Dramatherapy is increasingly being used in schools and educational establishments as a way of supporting young people’s emotional needs. This book examines the space between drama education and Dramatherapy exploring the questions: Does a therapist teach? When does the role of the drama teacher border on that of therapist? How do these two professions see and understand each other and the roles they play? In Drama Education and Dramatherapy Clive Holmwood draws on his experience as a Dramatherapist and examines the history of drama education and Dramatherapy exploring the social political therapeutic and artistic influences that have impacted these two professions over the last century. He also discusses how these fields are intrinsically linked and examines the liminal qualities betwixt and between them. The book considers two specific case studies from the therapist's and teacher's perspectives discussing what happens in the drama class and therapy space including how the dramatic form is understood explored and expressed both educationally and therapeutically. The ‘them and us’ mentality which often exists in two different professions that share a common origin is also explored. The book contemplates how teachers and Dramatherapists can work collaboratively in the future bringing down barriers that exist between them and beginning a working dialogue that will ultimately and holistically support the children and young people they all work with. This book will be of interest to those involved in using drama in an educational or therapeutic context including: drama teachers arts therapists teachers of arts therapy and researchers within wider arts applied arts and educational faculties within colleges and universities.

Drama Education and Second Language Learning In recent years the contribution of drama to second language learning has grown internationally as a field of interest to both teachers and researchers. The potential for drama to provide strong social contexts for learning to provide opportunities for the learner to embody the target language and to motivate students’ desire to communicate have been increasingly recognized as fruitful areas of inquiry. This book provides a brief historical perspective on the development of this interest before presenting a range of examples drawn from recent research projects led by those who are themselves experienced as drama and second language teachers. Drawing on a variety of theoretical perspectives and deploying a range of methodological processes the chapters present evidence as to how and why drama can impact on student learning in a range of classrooms from the primary school through to undergraduate level. Focusing on issues such as questioning in role the professional development of second language teachers interested in using drama and the role of artistry when applying drama as pedagogy for second language learning they provide an up to date picture of contemporary practices and an acute analysis of both the possibilities and the challenges facing researchers in the field.

Drama in Medieval and Early Modern EuropePlaymakers and their Strategies Drama in Medieval and Early Modern Europe moves away from the customary conceptual framework that artificially separates ‘medieval’ from ‘early modern’ drama to explore the role of drama and spectacle in England France the Low Countries Spain Italy Switzerland and the German-speaking areas that now constitute Austria and Germany. This book investigates the ranges of dramatic and performative techniques and strategies that playmakers across Europe used to adapt their work to the changing contexts in which they performed and to the changing or expanding audiences that they faced.

A wide variety of genres of play are discussed throughout including visitatio sepulchri (visit to the tomb) plays; Easter and Passion plays and morality plays; the French civic mystère; Italian sacre rappresentazioni performed by choirboys in the context of the church; Bürgertheater from the Swiss Confederacy; drama performed for the purpose of royal entertainment and propaganda; May and summer games; and the commercial professional theatre of Shakespeare and Lope de Vega.

Dramas of the Past on the Twentieth-Century StageIn History’s Wings This book defines and exemplifies a major genre of modern dramatic writing termed historiographic metatheatre in which self-reflexive engagements with the traditions and forms of dramatic art illuminate historical themes and aid in the representation of historical events and in doing so formulates a genre. Historiographic metatheatre has been and remains a seminal mode of political engagement and ideological critique in the contemporary dramatic canon. Locating its key texts within the traditions of historical drama self-reflexivity in European theatre debates in the politics and aesthetics of postmodernism and currents in contemporary historiography this book provides a new critical idiom for discussing the major works of the genre and others that utilize its techniques. Feldman studies landmarks in the theatre history of postwar Britain by Weiss Stoppard Brenton Wertenbaker and others focusing on European revolutionary politics the historiography of the World Wars and the effects of British colonialism. The playwrights under consideration all use the device of the play-within-the-play to explore constructions of nationhood and of Britishness in particular. Those plays performed within the framing works are produced in places of exile where Feldman argues the marginalized negotiate the terms of national identity through performance.

Dramatic DialogueContemporary Clinical Practice In Dramatic Dialogue Atlas and Aron develop the metaphors of drama and theatre to introduce a new way of thinking about therapeutic action and therapeutic traction. This model invites the patient’s many self-states and the numerous versions of the therapist’s self onto the analytic stage to dream a mutual dream and live together the past and the future as they appear in the present moment. The book brings together the relational emphasis on multiple self-states and enactment with the Bionian conceptions of reverie and dreaming-up the patient. The term Dramatic Dialogue originated in Ferenczi’s clinical innovations and refers to the patient and therapist dramatizing and dreaming-up the full range of their multiple selves. Along with Atlas and Aron readers will become immersed in a Dramatic Dialogue which the authors elaborate and enact using the contemporary language of multiple self-states waking dreaming dissociation generative enactment and the prospective function. The book provides a rich description of contemporary clinical practice illustrated with numerous clinical tales and detailed examination of clinical moments. Inspired by Bion’s concept of "becoming-at-one" and "at-one-ment "　the authors call for a return of the soul or spirit to psychoanalysis and the generative use of the analyst’s subjectivity including a passionate use of mind body and soul in the pursuit of psychoanalytic truth. Dramatic Dialogue will be of great interest to all psychoanalysts and　psychotherapists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138555488

Dramatic Monologue The dramatic monologue is traditionally associated with Victorian poets such as Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson and is generally considered to have disappeared with the onset of modernism in the twentieth century. Glennis Byron unravels its history and argues that contrary to belief the monologue remains popular to this day.

Taking as example the increasingly politicized nature of contemporary poetry the author clearly and succinctly presents an account of the monologue's growing popularity over the past twenty years.

Dramatic Monologue (Routledge Revivals) First published in 1977 this book looks at the versatile literary form of dramatic monologue. Although it is often associated with Browning and other poets writing between 1830 and 1930 the concept has been employed by diverse poets of multiple periods such as Ovid Chaucer Donne Blake Wordsworth Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes. In this study Alan Sinfield demonstrates and analyses the range and adaptability of the form through detailed examples. He shows that the technique maintains a shifting and uncertain balance between the voices of the poet and of his created speaker; when extended as in Maud Amours de Voyage The Ring and the Book and The Wasteland the use of dramatic monologue raises questions of personality and perception. In the second part of the text the author discusses the origins of Victorian and Modernist dramatic monologue in the dramatic complaint and the Ovidian verse epistle of earlier periods offering a new interpretation of the value of dramatic monologue to Browning and Tennyson. Through his writing Alan Sinfield successfully highlights the eternal vibrance of the form. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415838481

Dramatic SpacesScenography and Spectatorial Perceptions For literary scholars plays are texts; for scenographers plays are performances. Yet clearly a drama is both text and performance. Dramatic Spaces examines period-specific stage spaces in order to assess how design shaped the thematic and experiential dimensions of plays. This book highlights the stakes of the debate about spatiality and the role of the spectator in the auditorium – if audience members are co-creators of the drama how do they contribute? The book investigates: Roman comedy and Shakespearean dramas in which the stage-space itself constituted the primary scenographic element and actors’ bodies shaped the playing space more than did sets or props the use of paid applauders in nineteenth-century Parisian theaters and how this practice reconfigured theatrical space transactions between stage designers and spectators including work by László Moholy-Nagy William Ritman and Eiko Ishioka　 Dramatic Spaces aims to do for stage design what reader-response criticism has done for the literary text 　with specific case studies on Coriolanus The Comedy of Errors Romeo and Juliet Tales of Hoffman M.

Dramatists and their Manuscripts in the Age of Shakespeare Jonson Middleton and HeywoodAuthorship Authority and the Playhouse This book presents new evidence about the ways in which English Renaissance dramatists such as William Shakespeare Ben Jonson Thomas Heywood John Fletcher and Thomas Middleton composed their plays and the degree to which they participated in the dissemination of their texts to theatrical audiences. Grace Ioppolo argues that the path of the transmission of the text was not linear from author to censor to playhouse to audience - as has been universally argued by scholars - but circular. Extant dramatic manuscripts theatre records and accounts as well as authorial contracts memoirs receipts and other archival evidence are used to prove that the text returned to the author at various stages including during rehearsal and after performance. This monograph provides much new information and case studies and is a fascinating contribution to the fields of Shakespeare studies English Renaissance drama studies manuscript studies textual study and bibliography and theatre history.

Dramatizing Time in Twentieth-Century Fiction How have twentieth-century writers used techniques in fiction to communicate the human experience of time? Dramatizing Time in Twentieth-Century Fiction explores this question by analyzing major narratives of the last century that demonstrate how time becomes variously manifested to reflect and illuminate its operation in our lives. Offering close readings of both modernist and non-modernist writers such as Wodehouse Stein Lewis Joyce Hemingway Faulkner Borges and Nabokov the author shares and unifies the belief as set forth by the distinguished philosopher Paul Ricoeur that narratives rather than philosophy best help us understand time. They create and communicate its meanings through dramatizations in language and the reconfiguration of temporal experience. This book explores the various responses of artistic imaginations to the mysteries of time and the needs of temporal organization in modern fiction. It is therefore an important reference for anyone with an interest in twentieth-century literature and the philosophy of time. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138376601

Dramatizing WritingReincorporating Delivery in the Classroom Although speech departments have "owned" delivery for the last 100 years those who teach writing especially English departments can gain a great deal by reinstating delivery into their conceptions of and theories about writing. Thus in the author's vision of "dramatizing writing" in the composition classroom delivery can have an impact on all the composing steps from invention to final draft. The goals of this text are to redefine delivery for writing to reunite it with other parts of the classical rhetorical canon and to practically apply it in contemporary writing instruction. This text is divided into three main sections. The first provides a survey of the history of delivery in rhetorical theory. A continuum is set up from a totally physical conception of delivery to a noetic one which incorporates more intellectual processes. The argument is that the tension heightened by discord over its definition eventually led to the splitting of delivery from the rhetorical canon. A separate discussion of the women's challenge to delivery is also included. The next section contains a survey of facets of delivery that exist in current theory combined with the author's own theory of delivery. It provides insight into the state of delivery in contemporary writing instruction. The author argues that since the split of delivery from the rhetorical canon has caused a modern bias against delivery in writing theory many strategies that could aid in the teaching of writing have either been overlooked or undertheorized. Therefore she borrows from current theoretical areas within and outside of writing in order to construct her own theory of delivery. The last section provides practical applications of delivery in writing instruction. Again borrowing from many sources inside and outside of composition she describes the techniques teachers may use to incorporate delivery in a writing classroom. Through the use of delivery more strategies may be developed to aid in the teaching of writing. Special features include: * the incorporation of some practices that had been in use in the composition classroom for many years but did not have any consciously theoretical grounding; * the discussion of women rhetoricians' theories on delivery; * the combination of many contemporary theoretical areas including theatrical feminist rhetorical and pedagogical to form the author's redefined theory of delivery; and * the presentation of practical applications of this new theory of delivery for teachers to utilize in their own classrooms.

Drawing 1400-1600Invention and Innovation First published in 1998  this volume twelve scholars explore ways in which drawings were employed and appreciated in various European Cities form late medieval times through the Renaissance and Reformation periods and into the early seventeenth century. The essayists examine the relationship between preparatory sketches and finished artworks in more durable and expensive materials and consider the roles played by various drawing types such as studies from different kinds of model and student copies from a master’s exemplar. They also investigate how drawings and their mechanically- reproduced equivalents- engravings etchings and other forms of print – came to be collected for both practical and connoisseurial purposes and how iconographical and stylistic inventiveness were linked to imaginative artistic interpretations of traditional subjects and to technical innovations in drawing and printmaking. Through diverse approaches to the study of artists’ attitudes and ambitions the essays in Drawing 1400-1600 offer ways of appreciating the complex and fascinating history of the practice and theory of drawing over two centuries during which the expressive potential of the medium was realized in some of the greatest artistic statements of all time.

Drawing Imagining BuildingEmbodiment in Architectural Design Practices Drawing Imagining Building focuses on the history of hand-drawing practices to capture some of the most crucial and overlooked parts of the process. Using 80 black and white images to illustrate the examples it examines architectural drawing practices to elucidate the ways drawing advances the architect’s imagination.Emmons considers drawing practices in the Renaissance and up to the first half of the twentieth century. Combining systematic analysis across time with historical explication presents the development of hand-drawing while also grounding early modern practices in their historical milieu. Each of the illustrated chapters considers formative aspects of architectural drawing practice such as upright elevations flowing lines and occult lines and drawing scales to identify their roots in an embodied approach to show how hand-drawing contributes to the architect’s productive imagination. By documenting some of the ways of thinking through practices of architectural handdrawing it describes how practices can enrich the ethical imagination of the architect. This book would be beneficial for academics practitioners and students of architecture particularly those who are interested in the history and significance of hand-drawing and technical drawing.

Drawing in the Twenty-First CenturyThe Politics and Poetics of Contemporary Practice As a response to the ubiquity of drawing in contemporary consciousness and a corresponding dearth of critical engagement with the medium these collected essays provide original interpretations of artists' drawing today. Questions of process politics scale and community raised in the work of the diverse group of artists are situated within the historic discourse on drawing and demonstrate the extent to which contemporary practice challenges previous definitions of the medium. From the room-encompassing drawings of Monika Grzymala and Barbara Bernstein or Sophie Calle's expansive exploration of the Jerusalem eruv to Andrea Bowers's graphite renditions of protest to Ellsworth Kelly's proposal for a memorial to September 11 the essays explore the implications of drawings' departure from the confines of a sheet of paper. Essential reading for both the academic and general audience this book provides in-depth discussions of artists and projects that have never been treated in a sustained analytical way; each essay will interest the wider contemporary art audience as well as students of drawing. Taken as a whole the volume represents a pertinent and stimulating engagement with issues of paramount importance to our understanding of contemporary art and its place in museums galleries and the public sphere.

Drawing ParallelsKnowledge Production in Axonometric Isometric and Oblique Drawings Drawing Parallels expands your understanding of the workings of architects by looking at their work from an alternative perspective. The book focuses on parallel projections such as axonometric isometric and oblique drawings. Ray Lucas argues that by retracing the marks made by architects we can begin to engage more directly with their practice as it is only by redrawing the work that hidden aspects are revealed. The practice of drawing offers significantly different insights not easily accessible through discourse analysis critical theory or observation. Using James Stirling JJP Oud Peter Eisenman John Hejduk and Cedric Price as case studies Lucas highlights each architect's creative practices which he anaylses with reference to Bergson's concepts of temporality and cretivity discussing ther manner in which creative problems are explored and solved. The book also draws on a range of anthropological ideas including skilled practice and enchantment in order to explore why axonometrics are important to architecture and questions the degree to which the drawing convention influences the forms produced by architects. With 60 black-and-white images to illustrate design development this book would be an essential read for academics and students of architecture with a particular interest in further understanding the inner workings of the architectural creative process.

Drawing Relationships in Northern Italian Renaissance ArtPatronage and Theories of Invention Vasari's celebration of the art of the central Italian cities of Florence Rome and Venice has long left in shadow the art of northern Italy. The economic and historical decline of the region compounded this effect with the dispersal of the treasures of the Farnese to Naples the Este to Dresden and the Gonzaga to Madrid and Paris. Each chapter in this volume celebrates a stunning work from the region among them Correggio's famed Camera di San Paolo in Parma Parmigianino's Camerino in the Rocca Sanvitale near Parma the studiolo of Alberto Pio at Carpi and the Tomb of the Ancestors in the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini. The volume as a whole offers fascinating insights into the tussle between the maniera moderna and the maniera devota in the first half of the sixteenth century when the unity between the elegance and beauty of art and its religious significance came under debate. Around the year 1550 when Michelangelo's Last Judgement came under attack for impiety and lasciviousness and the reformists called for an art that would invoke in the viewer a devotional response that identified manifestations of the divine with human feelings and emotions. In northern Italy it was on the foundation laid by Correggio with his tenderness and ability to evoke the softness of living flesh that the Carracci brothers built their reform of painting.

Drawing the LineNature Hybridity and Politics in Transboundary Spaces This book provides the first comprehensive and critical examination of the spatial assumptions underpinning transboundary protected areas in Europe at a time of surging global enthusiasm in creating and managing such areas. It explores how the reliance on the natural science approach to space within environmental planning has led to a return of exclusionary discourses in paradoxical contrast to the stated claims of designing 'peace parks'. The book builds a much-needed link between the critical geopolitical literature on boundaries and social approaches to nature and hybridity. Drawing the Line is theoretically informed yet grounded in substantial fieldwork from sites in France Germany Italy Poland Romania Slovakia and the Ukraine. It uses material from the field to build and question theoretical debates moving beyond site-specific issues to wider patterns and trends. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780815388654

Drawing the UnbuildableSeriality and Reproduction in Architecture Architecture is conventionally seen as being synonymous with building. In contrast this book introduces and defines a new category - the unbuildable. The unbuildable involves projects that are not just unbuilt but cannot be built. This distinct form of architectural project has an important and often surprising role in architectural discourse working not in opposition to the buildable but frequently complementing it. Using well-known examples of early Soviet architecture – Tatlin’s Tower in particular – Nerma Cridge demonstrates the relevance of the unbuildable how it relates to current notions of seriality copying and reproduction and its implications for contemporary practice and discourse in the computational age. At the same time it offers a fresh view of our preconceptions and expectations of early Soviet architecture and the Constructivist Movement. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138104228

Dream Phantasy and Art Hanna Segal's work especially on symbolism aesthetics dreams and the exploration of psychotic thinking has established her as an outstanding figure in psychoanalysis particularly in psychoanalysis of the Kleinian tradition. In Dream Phantasy and Art she reworks her ideas on these topics and brings them vividly alive in a new integration which links them afresh to the work of Freud Klein and Bion. Throughout the book the clinical illustrations the author has selected brilliantly spotlight the theory touching the imagination and fixing even the most difficult ideas permanently in the reader's mind. In a mutually enhancing relationship theory and clinical example are combined and then applied to create the author's new and original theories of art and aesthetics. As Betty Joseph notes in her foreword Segal's writing and in particular this book does much to enrich psychoanalysis not only because of the clarity and intelligence but also because of the depth and breadth of her interests and her clinical imagination.

Dream and Fantasy in Child Analysis The contributions to this book containing talks given at the Conference in Vienna on 'Dream and Fantasy in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy' focus on the close connection between children's imaginative world their dream life and play. Is it a dream that a child is recounting or is it rather a fantasy to be regarded as equivalent to a dream? Children's play too presents important material that allows us to draw inferences about the subconscious. Indeed dreams daydreams fantasies and play were originally treated as of equal importance in child analysis. How do child analysts work with dreams at the practical and theoretical levels? In the practice of child analysis today do we find analysis of dreams and the classic differentiations between manifest and latent content? Is attention accorded to the mechanisms of condensation displacement etc. described by Freud? The current discussion on working with children's dreams and their equivalents in today's practice of child psychoanalysis forms the central focus of the contributions collected in this book.

Dream Sequences in ShakespeareA Psychoanalytic Perspective This book takes a new approach to Shakespeare’s plays exploring them as dream-thought in the modern psychoanalytic sense of unconscious thinking. Through his commitment to poetic language Shakespeare offers images and dramatic sequences that illustrate fundamental developmental conflicts the solutions for which are not preconceived but evolve through the process of dramatisation. In this volume Meg Harris Williams explores the fundamental distinction between the surface meanings of plot or argument and the deep grammar of dreamlife applied not only to those plays known as ‘dream-plays’ but also to critical sequences throughout Shakespeare’s oeuvre. Through a post-Kleinian model based on the thinking of Bion Meltzer and Money-Kyrle this book sheds new light on both Shakespeare’s own relation to the play and on the identificatory processes of the playwright reader or audience. Dream Sequences in Shakespeare is important reading for psychoanalysts playwrights and students. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367635497

Dream SociometryA Multi-Perspectival Path to the Transpersonal This unique book is the first of two volumes that describe a new transpersonal model for therapeutic work on dreams.　Dream Sociometry a form of Integral Deep Listening (IDL) life drama and dream character interviewing contributes to the fields of application of the sociometric methods of J.L. Moreno and the use of sociometry in therapy to support and direct personal development. The book describes an experiential multi-perspectival integral life practice through accessing "emerging potentials " or perspectives that integrate transcend and include one's current context and predicament. Dream Sociometry provides a thoroughly phenomenological approach suspending interpretation as well as assumptions about the reality and usefulness of synchronicities mystical experiences waking accidents dreams and nightmares in favour of listening to dream characters and personifications of important life issues in a respectful and integral way. It thereby provides an important doorway to both causal and non-dual awareness by accessing perspectives that personify both and will open doors for those interested not only in dream research but in reducing anxiety disorders such as phobias and post-traumatic stress disorders and seeing through the often literal and concrete interpretations that we often give both physical and mental illness as well as mystical experiences.　 Offering a fresh and unique approach to both dreamwork and self-development through sociometric methodologies 　this book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of psychodrama sociometry group psychotherapy transpersonal experiential and action therapies as well as postgraduate students studying psychology and sociology.

Dreambooks in ByzantiumSix Oneirocritica in Translation with Commentary and Introduction Dreambooks in Byzantium offers for the first time in English translation and with commentary six of the seven extant Byzantine oneirocritica or manuals on the interpretation of dreams. (The seventh The Oneirocriticon of Achmet ibn Sereim was published previously by the author.) Dreams permeated all aspects of Byzantine culture from religion to literature to everyday life while the interpretation of the future through dreams was done by professionals (emperors had their own) or through oneirocritica. Dreambooks were written and attributed to famous patriarchs biblical personages and emperors to fictitious writers and interpreters or were copied and published anonymously. Two types of dreambooks were produced: short prose or verse manuals with the dreams usually listed alphabetically by symbol; and long treatises with subject matter arranged according to topics and with elaborate dream theory. The manuals were meant for a popular audience mainly readers of the middle and lower classes; their content deals with concerns like family sickness and health poverty and wealth treachery by friends fear of authorities punishment and honor-concerns in other words that pertain to the individual dreamer not to the state or a cult. The dreambook writers drew upon various sources in Classical and Islamic literature oral and written Byzantine materials and perhaps their own oneirocritic practices. Much of the source-material was pagan in origin and therefore needed to be reworked into a Christianized context with many interpretations given a Christian coloring. For each dreambook the author provides a commentary focusing on analyses of the interpretations assigned to each dream-symbol; historical social and cultural discussions of the dreams and interpretations; linguistic lexical and grammatical issues; and cross-references with Achmet Artemidorus and the other Bzyantine dreambooks. There are also introductory chapters on Byzantine dream interpretation; the authors their dates and sources; the manuscripts of the dreambooks; and a lengthy discussion of the contribution of these dreambooks to psychohistory cultural history historical sociology and gender studies. The book is unique in that it offers a full study through translation and commentary of the oneirocritica to a wide audience - Byzantinists Arabists cultural historians medievalists (several of the Byzantine dreambooks were translated into Latin and became fundamental dream-texts throughout the Middle Ages) and psychohistorians all of whom will find the book useful in their study of dreams transmission of Arabic sources by Byzantine authors and cultural anthropology. Together with the Oneirocriticon of Achmet it offers a complete study of dream-interpretation in medieval Greece. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315578057

Dreaming Originally published in 1959 with some corrections in 1962 the author examines the common view at the time that dreams are mental activities or mental occurrences taking place during sleep. He starts off by offering a proof that the sentence ‘I am asleep’ is a senseless form of words and cannot express a judgment. After commenting on various features of the concept of sleep the author expands his argument to prove that the notion of making any judgment at all while asleep is without sense.

Dreaming in Byzantium and Beyond Although the actual dreaming experience of the Byzantines lies beyond our reach the remarkable number of dream narratives in the surviving sources of the period attests to the cardinal function of dreams as vehicles of meaning and thus affords modern scholars access to the wider cultural fabric of symbolic representations of the Byzantine world. Whether recounting real or invented dreams the narratives serve various purposes such as political and religious agendas personal aspirations or simply an author’s display of literary skill. It is only in recent years that Byzantine dreaming has attracted scholarly attention and important publications have suggested the way in which Byzantines reshaped ancient interpretative models and applied new perceptions to the functions of dreams. This book - the first collection of studies on Byzantine dreams to be published - aims to demonstrate further the importance of closely examining dreams in Byzantium in their wider historical and cultural as well as narrative context. Linked by this common thread the essays offer insights into the function of dreams in hagiography historiography rhetoric epistolography and romance. They explore gender and erotic aspects of dreams; they examine cross-cultural facets of dreaming provide new readings and contextualize specific cases; they also look at the Greco-Roman background and Islamic influences of Byzantine dreams and their Christianization. The volume provides a broad variety of perspectives including those of psychoanalysis and anthropology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367600594

Dreams Healing and Medicine in GreeceFrom Antiquity to the Present This volume centers on dreams in Greek medicine from the fifth-century B.C.E. Hippocratic Regimen down to the modern era. Medicine is here defined in a wider sense than just formal medical praxis and includes non-formal medical healing methods such as folk pharmacopeia religion ’magical’ methods (e.g. amulets exorcisms and spells) and home remedies. This volume examines how in Greek culture dreams have played an integral part in formal and non-formal means of healing. The papers are organized into three major diachronic periods. The first group focuses on the classical Greek through late Roman Greek periods. Topics include dreams in the Hippocratic corpus; the cult of the god Asclepius and its healing centers with their incubation and miracle dream-cures; dreams in the writings of Galen and other medical writers of the Roman Empire; and medical dreams in popular oneirocritic texts especially the second-century C.E. dreambook by Artemidorus of Daldis the most noted professional dream interpreter of antiquity. The second group of papers looks to the Christian Byzantine era when dream incubation and dream healings were practised at churches and shrines carried out by living and dead saints. Also discussed are dreams as a medical tool used by physicians in their hospital praxis and in the practical medical texts (iatrosophia) that they and laypeople consulted for the healing of disease. The final papers deal with dreams and healing in Greece from the Turkish period of Greece down to the current day in the Greek islands. The concluding chapter brings the book a full circle by discussing how modern psychotherapists and psychologists use Ascelpian dream-rituals on pilgrimages to Greece.

Dreams Neuroscience and PsychoanalysisMind Body and the Question of Time Dreams Neuroscience and Psychoanalysis sets out to give a scientific consistency to the question of time and find out how time determines brain functioning. Neurological investigations into dreams and sleep since the mid-20th century have challenged our scientific conception of living beings. On this basis Kéramat Movallali reviews the foundations of modern neurophysiology in the light of other trends in this field that have been neglected by the cognitive sciences trends that seem to be increasingly confirmed by recent research. 　 The author begins by giving a historical view of fundamental questions such as the nature of the living being according to discoveries in ethology as well as in other research especially that which is based on the theory of the reflex. It becomes clear in the process that these findings are consistent with the question of time as it has been considered in some major contemporary philosophies. This is then extended to the domain of dreams and sleep as phenomena that are said to be elucidated by the question of time.　 The question is then raised: can dreaming be considered as a drive? Based on the Freudian discovery of the unconscious and Lacan’s teachings Movallali seeks to provide a better understanding of the drives in general and dreams in particular. He explores neuroscience in terms of its development as well as its discoveries in the function of dreaming as an altered mode of consciousness. The challenge of confronting psychoanalysis with neuroscience forces us to go beyond their division and opposition. Psychoanalysis cannot overlook what has now become a worldwide scientific approach. Neuroscience just like the cognitive sciences will be further advanced by acknowledging the desiring dimension of humanity which is at the very heart of its being as essentially related to the question of time. It is precisely this dimension that is at the core of psychoanalytic practice.　 Dreams Neuroscience and Psychoanalysis will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as neuroscientists psychologists ethologists philosophers and advanced students studying across these fields.

Dreams and Lives in Ottoman IstanbulA Seventeenth-Century Biographer's Perspective Dreams and Lives in Ottoman Istanbul explores biography writing and dream narratives in seventeenth-century Istanbul. It focuses on the prominent biographer ‘Aṭā’ī (d. 1637) and with his help shows how learned circles narrated dreams to assess their position in the Ottoman enterprise. This book demonstrates that dreams provided biographers not only with a means to form learned communities in a politically fragile landscape but also with a medium to debate the correct career paths and social networks in late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Istanbul.By adopting a comparative approach this book engages with current scholarly dialogues about life-writing dreams and practices of remembrance in Habsburg Spain Safavid Iran Mughal India and Ming China. Recent studies have shown the shared rhythms between these contemporaneous dynasties and the Ottomans and there is now a strong interest in comparative approaches to examining cultural life. This first English-language monograph on Ottoman dreamscapes addresses this interest and introduces a world where dreams changed lives the dead appeared in broad daylight and biographers invited their readers to the gardens of remembrance.

Dreams and ModernityA Cultural History Dreams and Modernity: A Cultural History explores the dream as a distinctively modern object of inquiry and as a fundamental aspect of identity and culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. While dreams have been a sustained object of fascination from the ancient world to the present what sets this period apart is the unprecedented interest in dream writing and interpretation in the psychological sciences and the migration of these ideas into a wide range of cultural disciplines and practices. Authors Helen Groth and Natalya Lusty examine how the intensification and cross-fertilization of ideas about dreams in this period became a catalyst for new kinds of networks of knowledge across aesthetic psychological philosophical and vernacular domains. In uncovering a complex and diverse archive Dreams and Modernity reveals how the explosion of interest in dreams informed the psychic imaginative and intimate life of the modern subject. Individual chapters in the book explore popular traditions of dream interpretation in the 19th century; the archival impetus of dream research in this period including the Society for Psychical Research and the Mass Observation movement; and the reception and extension of Freud’s dream book in Britain in the early decades of the twentieth century. This engaging interdisciplinary book will appeal to both scholars and upper level students of cultural studies cultural history Victorian studies literary studies gender studies and modernist studies.

Dreams of GloryThe Sources of Apocalyptic Terror Islam Judaism and Christianity are engaged not in a 'clash of civilizations' but in a sectarian conflict among branches of a single civilization traditionally steeped in apocalyptic imagery and beliefs. Apocalypticism is a religious luxury that modern civilizations can no longer afford. Many would agree that the propagandists of the Christian Right have raised apocalyptic tensions to a dangerous level since 9/11 but in this book Richard Fenn takes on the mainline church leaders for their role in promoting an apocalyptic view of history. Those who keep apocalyptic beliefs in a respectable place in religious faith and practice must bear their share of responsibility for global terror. It is not only tragic but ironic that the churches have given apocalyptic literature such a respectable place in their sacred texts because the apocalyptic imagination itself has its sources in non-Biblical literature: the Hellenistic prophesies that gave comfort and courage to the victims of war in the near and middle east from the time of Alexander the Great and Darius. Fenn goes on to hold apocalyptic enthusiasts in the mainline churches as well as on the Right responsible for keeping old grievances alive in their demands for a day of final reckoning and he demonstrates that totalitarian and imperial regimes have made effective use of apocalyptic literature to justify their own violence and to terrify their subjects and enemies.

DresdenParadoxes of Memory in History The collapse of the German Democratic Republic prompted the East Germans to confront their personal cultural and international past. This study of the 'Wende' - the turn of events in 1989 - is based on ethnographic and anthropological research conducted in the early 1990s. Liz Ten Dyke has developed a finely nuanced portrait of the city and its residents as they were caught up in the economic political and social turmoil that characterized the immediate post-socialist period. By weaving together scholarly research oral history and "ethnographic excursions" or narratives of salient experiences this book makes an important contribution to the study of social aspects of the past. Moving beyond paradigms presently shaping the study of memory it details the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in remembering making manifest the link between such contradictions and larger symbolic and political-economic contexts. In this way the author situates the study of memory in history and shows that it is the mutability of memory in conjuction with the uncertainty of history that render the past a dynamic and powerful force in human society.

Dress and Identity in British Literary Culture 1870-1914 Rosy Aindow examines the way fiction registered and responded to the emergence of a modern fashion industry during the period 1870-1914. She traces the role played by dress in the formation of literary identities with specific attention to the way that an engagement with fashionable clothing was understood to be a means of class emulation. The expansion of the fashion industry in the second half of the nineteenth century is generally considered to have had a significant impact on the way in which lower income groups in particular encountered clothing: many were able to participate in fashionable consumption for the first time. Remaining alert to the historical specificity of these events this study argues that the cultural perception of the expansion of the industry - namely a predominantly bourgeois fear that it would result in a democratisation in dress - had a profound effect on the way in which fashion was approached by contemporary writers. Drawing on existing cultural analogies that associated fashion with women and artifice it concludes that women were particularly implicated in fictional accounts of class mobility. This transgression applied not only to women who wore fashionable clothing but to those working in the fashion industry itself. An allusion to fashion has a socio-specific meaning one which gained a new potency in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century narratives as a vehicle for the expression of class anxieties.

Dress and the Roman WomanSelf-Presentation and Society In ancient Rome the subtlest details in dress helped to distinguish between levels of social and moral hierarchy. Clothes were a key part of the sign systems of Roman civilization – a central aspect of its visual language for women as well as men. This engaging book collects and examines artistic evidence and literary references to female clothing cosmetics and ornament in Roman antiquity deciphering their meaning and revealing what it meant to be an adorned woman in Roman society. Cosmetics ornaments and fashion were often considered frivolous wasteful or deceptive which reflects ancient views about the nature of women. However Kelly Olson uses literary evidence to argue that women often took pleasure in fashioning themselves and many treated adornment as a significant activity enjoying the social status influence and power that it signified. This study makes an important contribution to our knowledge of Roman women and is essential reading for anyone interested in ancient Roman life. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203927625

Dress Codes: Fashioning Intellectual Property This book addresses the social commercial legal and cultural relationship between fashion and its protection through an interdisciplinary approach to the application of the law not only in terms of the relevance of the law and the management and sociology of knowledge in the fashion industries but also in terms of the interaction with art history and fashion theory as well as socio-economic and cultural concerns. The work analyses critically the social political and legal aspects of the fashion and design industries and addresses the sometimes difficult relationship between fashion and law in a commercial as well as social context. The study characterises this relationship carefully beginning by tracing the historical and sociological foundations for fashion and its curation  both as public and personal object and taking this through to contemporary practices of collaboration transformation and the process of design all of which present particular challenges to a traditional intellectual property practice. Through a series of discussions and particular examples the book provides specific insight into design practice fashion and art fashion media merchandising and retail curation towards a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between fashion and intellectual property. However the discussion is especially relevant to current and topical commercial and practical tensions in other areas of the creative industries in that it takes the extension of artistic and commercial practice into the productive relationships between fashion and art music film celebrity and the digital. Therefore through a thorough examination of the fashion industries the book allows for a wider insight into the creative industries more broadly speaking.

Dress Culture in Late Victorian Women's FictionLiteracy Textiles and Activism In her immensely readable and richly documented book Christine Bayles Kortsch asks us to shift our understanding of late Victorian literary culture by examining its inextricable relationship with the material culture of dress and sewing. Even as the Education Acts of 1870 1880 and 1891 extended the privilege of print literacy to greater numbers of the populace stitching samplers continued to be a way of acculturating girls in both print literacy and what Kortsch terms "dress culture." Kortsch explores nineteenth-century women's education sewing and needlework mainstream fashion alternative dress movements working-class labor in the textile industry and forms of social activism showing how dual literacy in dress and print cultures linked women writers with their readers. Focusing on Victorian novels written between 1870 and 1900 Kortsch examines fiction by writers such as Olive Schreiner Ella Hepworth Dixon Margaret Oliphant Sarah Grand and Gertrude Dix with attention to influential predecessors like Elizabeth Gaskell Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot. Periodicals with their juxtaposition of journalism fiction and articles on dress and sewing are particularly fertile sites for exploring the close linkages between print and dress cultures. Informed by her examinations of costume collections in British and American museums Kortsch's book broadens our view of New Woman fiction and its relationship both to dress culture and to contemporary women's fiction.

Dressing Judeans and Christians in Antiquity The past two decades have witnessed a proliferation of scholarship on dress in the ancient world. These recent studies have established the extent to which Greece and Rome were vestimentary cultures and they have demonstrated the critical role dress played in communicating individuals’ identities status and authority. Despite this emerging interest in ancient dress little work has been done to understand religious aspects and uses of dress. This volume aims to fill this gap by examining a diverse range of religious sources including literature art performance coinage economic markets and memories. Employing theoretical frames from a range of disciplines contributors to the volume demonstrate how dress developed as a topos within Judean and Christian rhetoric symbolism and performance from the first century BCE to the fifth century CE. Specifically they demonstrate how religious meanings were entangled with other social logics revealing the many layers of meaning attached to ancient dress as well as the extent to which dress was implicated in numerous domains of ancient religious life.

Drift into FailureFrom Hunting Broken Components to Understanding Complex Systems What does the collapse of sub-prime lending have in common with a broken jackscrew in an airliner’s tailplane? Or the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the burn-up of Space Shuttle Columbia? These were systems that drifted into failure. While pursuing success in a dynamic complex environment with limited resources and multiple goal conflicts a succession of small everyday decisions eventually produced breakdowns on a massive scale. We have trouble grasping the complexity and normality that gives rise to such large events. We hunt for broken parts fixable properties people we can hold accountable. Our analyses of complex system breakdowns remain depressingly linear depressingly componential - imprisoned in the space of ideas once defined by Newton and Descartes. The growth of complexity in society has outpaced our understanding of how complex systems work and fail. Our technologies have gotten ahead of our theories. We are able to build things - deep-sea oil rigs jackscrews collateralized debt obligations - whose properties we understand in isolation. But in competitive regulated societies their connections proliferate their interactions and interdependencies multiply their complexities mushroom. This book explores complexity theory and systems thinking to understand better how complex systems drift into failure. It studies sensitive dependence on initial conditions unruly technology tipping points diversity - and finds that failure emerges opportunistically non-randomly from the very webs of relationships that breed success and that are supposed to protect organizations from disaster. It develops a vocabulary that allows us to harness complexity and find new ways of managing drift. Media > Books > E-books CRC Press 9781315257396

Drilling and Blasting of Rocks Rock breakage with explosives has existed since the seventeenth century when black powder came into use in mining. Since then it has progressed from the invention of dynamite to the use of heavy ANFO. During the past two decades there have been numerous technical contributions which have brought a better understanding of rock fragmentation with explosives an improvement in drilling equipment and a noticeable evolution in the development of new explosives and blasting accessories. The Geomining Technological Institute of Spain (ITCE) aware of this progress and of the importance which the breakage process has acquired in mining and civil engineering projects has ordered the publication of Drilling and Blasting of Rocks. The purpose of this Handbook is to give basic knowledge of the drilling systems the types of available explosives and the accessories and the parameters that intervene in blast designing whether controllable or not; at the same time the objectives and contents contribute to improved safety in mining. The Handbook is meant for all professionals who are involved with explosives in mining operations and civil engineering projects as well as for students of technical schools.

Drilling and Completion in Petroleum EngineeringTheory and Numerical Applications Modern petroleum and petrotechnical engineering is increasingly challenging due to the inherently scarce and decreasing number of global petroleum resources. Exploiting these resources efficiently will require researchers scientists engineers and other practitioners to develop innovative mathematical solutions to serve as basis for new asset development designs. Deploying these systems in numerical models is essential to the future success and efficiency of the petroleum industry. Multiphysics modeling has been widely applied in the petroleum industry since the 1960s. The rapid development of computer technology has enabled the numerical applications of multiphysics modeling in the petroleum industry: its applications are particularly popular for the numerical simulation of drilling and completion processes. This book covers theory and numerical applications of multiphysical modeling presenting various author-developed subroutines used to address complex pore pressure input complex initial geo-stress field input etc. Some innovative methods in drilling and completion developed by the authors such as trajectory optimization and a 3-dimensional workflow for calculation of mud weight window etc are also presented. Detailed explanations are provided for the modeling process of each application example included in the book. In addition details of the completed numerical models data are presented as supporting material which can be downloaded from the website of the publisher. Readers can easily understand key modeling techniques with the theory of multiphysics embedded in examples of applications and can use the data to reproduce the results presented. While this book would be of interest to any student academic or professional practitioner of engineering mathematics and natural science we believe those professionals and academics working in civil engineering petroleum engineering and petroleum geomechanics would find the work especially relevant to their endeavors.

Drilling for WaterA Practical Manual There have been very few if any books of a practical nature covering the ’art’ of drilling holes in the ground especially for water. Some rather lengthy tomes are and have been available over the years which have been pretty well incomprehensible to the average field man or indeed those responsible for the administration of field operations. Most of those books have been written by people with peripheral disciplines to the industry thus haven’t had the field experience to really get hold of the heart of the matter. Drilling for Water - 2 has been written to be understandable to field personnel and in their own terms. Everything in it is based on considerable field experience. Following the publication of Drilling for Water many accolades were forthcoming such as ...packed with information... ...my bible... ...most welcome... ...a breath of fresh air... ...couldn’t put it down... etc. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315257389

Drinking DilemmasSpace culture and identity Drinking and drunkenness have become a focal point for political and media debates to contest notions of responsibility discipline and risk; yet at the same time academic studies have highlighted the positive aspects of drinking in relation to sociability belonging and identity. These issues are at the heart of this volume which brings together the work of academics and researchers exploring social and cultural aspects of contemporary drinking practices. These drinking practices are enormously varied and are spatially and culturally defined. The contributions to the volume draw on research settings from across the UK and beyond to demonstrate both the complexity and diversity of drinking subjectivities and practices. Across these examples tensions relating to gender social class age and the life course are particularly prominent. Rather than align to now long-established moral discourses about what constitutes ‘good’ and ‘bad’ drinking 　sociological approaches to alcohol foreground the vivid lived nature of alcohol consumption and the associated experiences of drunkenness and intoxication. In doing so the volume illuminates the controversial yet important social and cultural roles played by drink for individuals and groups across a range of social contexts.

Drinking in ContextPatterns Interventions and Partnerships Drinking beverage alcohol is a widespread source of individual and social pleasure in most countries around the world. Yet some drinking patterns can lead to serious physical mental and social harms. Drinking in Context is intended to complement existing volumes dealing with international alcohol policy by focusing on three main themes: drinking patterns targeted interventions and partnership development. An understanding that patterns of drinking are important predictors of outcomes has led to a growing realization that alcohol policies and prevention strategies need to focus on excessive or irresponsible drinking. As a result there has been a shift towards interventions that address the targeted reduction of harm. These approaches recognize socio-cultural differences and avoid trying to impose a one-size-fits-all solution. In this context multi-stakeholder partnerships offer an excellent opportunity to promote the complex mix of measures required by each society. Shared responsibilities lead to shared solutions.

Drinking Water: A Socio-economic Analysis of Historical and Societal Variation In this fascinating and challenging work the author analyses the way water for drinking is produced distributed owned acquired and consumed in contrasting ways in different settings. From the taken-for-granted all-purpose water flowing out of taps in advanced economies to extreme inequalities of access to water of variable qualities drinking water tells its own interesting story but also reflects some of the centrally important characteristics of the state and economies of the different countries. From sparkling mineral water in Germany to drinking water garages in Taiwan from water tankers in Mexico City to street vendors in Delhi markets comparisons are made to stretch our understanding of what we mean by ‘an economy’ quality and property rights of water.  In addition the study of socio-economics of drinking water provides a route into understanding interactions between polity economy and nature. One of the major themes of the book is to analyse the ‘sociogenic’ nature of sustainability crises of economies of water in their environmental settings: epidemics droughts pollution land subsidences and floods. Overall it develops an economic sociology neo-Polanyian approach in a comparative and historical exploration of water for domestic consumption. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138304970

Drip Irrigation for AgricultureUntold Stories of Efficiency Innovation and Development Initially associated with hi-tech irrigated agriculture drip irrigation is now being used by a much wider range of farmers in emerging and developing countries. This book documents the enthusiasm spread and use of drip irrigation systems by smallholders but also some disappointments and disillusion faced in the global South. It explores and explains under which conditions it works for whom and with what effects. The book deals with drip irrigation 'behind the scenes' showcasing what largely remain 'untold stories'. Most research on drip irrigation use plot-level studies to demonstrate the technology’s ability to save water or improve efficiencies and use a narrow and rather prescriptive engineering or economic language. They tend to be grounded in a firm belief in the technology and focus on the identification of ways to improve or better realize its potential. The technology also figures prominently in poverty alleviation or agricultural modernization narratives figuring as a tool to help smallholders become more innovative entrepreneurial and business minded. Instead of focusing on its potential this book looks at drip irrigation-in-use making sense of what it does from the perspectives of the farmers who use it and of the development workers and agencies policymakers private companies local craftsmen engineers extension agents or researchers who engage with it for a diversity of reasons and to realize a multiplicity of objectives. While anchored in a sound engineering understanding of the design and operating principles of the technology the book extends the analysis beyond engineering and hydraulics to understand drip irrigation as a sociotechnical phenomenon that not only changes the way water is supplied to crops but also transforms agricultural farming systems and even how society is organized. The book provides field evidence from a diversity of interdisciplinary case studies in sub-Saharan Africa the Mediterranean Latin America and South Asia thus revealing some of the untold stories of drip irrigation.

Drive TourismTrends and Emerging Markets Since the post World War Two boom in private automobile ownership Drive Tourism has transformed the tourism landscape by facilitating dispersal and the growth of attractions and tourism related infrastructure beyond the zones that had previously emerged around seaports and railway terminals. The automobile has made regional dispersal possible and created opportunities for many small rural communities to supplement rural economies with a tourism economy. Drive Tourism is a popular form of tourism activity that has significantly contributed to the development of Tourism in many nations but has received relatively little attention in the literature. This book is the first attempt to provide a global comprehensive review and scholarly investigation into this popular and growing form of tourism. It draws on a vast range of geographical locations to critically explore the impacts of drive tourism in developed and underdeveloped regions. It evaluates tourism authorities’ response to the Drive Tourism Experience and offers operational insights into the management of the drive experience as well as providing original empirical research and insights into the field that will contribute to future investigation. In doing so it explores the many forms of drive tourism from caravanning to fly drive touring. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138883543

Driver Acceptance of New TechnologyTheory Measurement and Optimisation Acceptance of new technology and systems by drivers is an important area of concern to governments automotive manufacturers and equipment suppliers especially technology that has significant potential to enhance safety. To be acceptable new technology must be useful and satisfying to use. If not drivers will not want to have it in which case it will never achieve the intended safety benefit. Even if they have the technology drivers may not use it if it is deemed unacceptable or may not use it in the manner intended by the designer. At worst they may seek to disable it. This book brings into a single edited volume the accumulating body of thinking and research on driver and operator acceptance of new technology. Bringing together contributions from international experts from around the world the editors have shaped a book that covers the theory behind acceptance how it can be measured and how it can be improved. Case studies are presented that provide data on driver acceptance of a wide range of new and emerging vehicle technology. Although driver acceptance is the central focus of this book acceptance of new technology by operators in other domains and across cultures is also investigated. Similarly perspectives are derived from domains such as human computer interaction where user acceptance has long been regarded as a key driver of product success. This book comes at a critical time in the history of the modern motor vehicle as the number of new technologies entering the modern vehicle cockpit rapidly escalates. The goal of this book is to inspire further research and development of new vehicle technology to optimise user acceptance of it; and in doing so to maximise its potential to be useful satisfying to use and able to save human life.

Driver Behaviour and Accident Research MethodologyUnresolved Problems This book discusses several methodological problems in traffic psychology which are not currently recognized as such. Summarizing and analyzing the available research it is found that there are a number of commonly made assumptions about the validity of methods that have little backing and that many basic problems have not been researched at all. Suggestions are made as to further studies that should be made to address some of these problems. The book is primarily intended for traffic/transport researchers but should also be useful for specialized education at a higher level (doctoral students and transportation specialists) as well as officials who require a good grasp of methodology to be able to evaluate research.

Driver Behaviour and Training This title was first published in 2003. Research on driver behaviour over the past two decades has demonstrated that driver characteristics goals and motivations are important determinants of driving behaviour. We are now in a position to apply this knowledge to driver training programs and evaluate their effectiveness in improving safety. The main objective for the First International Conference on Driver Behaviour and Training and this book is to describe and discuss recent advances in this field. The book bridges the gap between practitioners in road safety and theoreticians investigating driving behaviour from a number of different perspectives and related disciplines. It will encourage research in driver training to combat erroneous or deviant driving behaviour and/or reduce the effects of human error at source. This book will be of interest to road safety researchers and road safety practitioners in the private and public sector. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138716315

Driver Behaviour and Training: Volume 2 Research on driver behaviour over the past two decades has clearly demonstrated that the goals and motivations a driver brings to the driving task are important determinants for driver behaviour. The importance of this work is underlined by statistics: WHO figures show that road accidents are predicted to be the number three cause of death and injury by 2020 (currently more than 20 million deaths and injuries p.a.). The objective of this second edition and of the conference on which it is based is to describe and discuss recent advances in the study of driving behaviour and driver training. It bridges the gap between practitioners in road safety and theoreticians investigating driving behaviour from a number of different perspectives and related disciplines. A major focus is to consider how driver training needs to be adapted to take into account driver characteristics goals and motivations in order to raise awareness of how these may contribute to unsafe driving behaviour and to go on to promote the development of driver training courses that considers all the skills that are essential for road safety. As well as setting out new approaches to driver training methodology based on many years of empirical research on driver behaviour the contributing road safety researchers and professionals consider the impact of human factors in the design of driver training as well as the traditional skills-based approach. Readership includes road safety researchers from a variety of different academic backgrounds senior practitioners in the field of driver training from regulatory authorities and professional driver training organizations such as the police service and private and public sector personnel who are concerned with improving road safety.

Driver Distraction and InattentionAdvances in Research and Countermeasures Volume 1 It is estimated that in the United States around 20 percent of all Police-reported road crashes involve driver distraction as a contributing factor. This figure increases if other forms of inattention are considered. Evidence (reviewed in this volume) suggests that the situation is similar in other countries and that driver distraction and inattention are even more dangerous as contributing factors in crashes than drug and alcohol intoxication. Having a solid evidence-base from which to develop injury countermeasures is a cornerstone of road-safety management. This book adds to the accumulating evidence-base on driver distraction and inattention. With 24 chapters by 52 authors from more than 10 countries it provides important new perspectives on the definition and meaning of driver distraction and inattention the mechanisms that characterize them the measurement of their effects strategies for mitigating their effects and recommendations for further research. The goal of this book is to inspire further research and countermeasure development to prevent and mitigate the potentially adverse effects of driver distraction and driver inattention and in doing so to save lives.

Driving SomaA Transformational Process in the Analytic Encounter Plunged into the experience of an analytic session analysand and analyst can come closer to what Freud terms the "primary processes". A clear-cut distinction between body and mind tends to become blurred while the bodily-egos of both protagonists are more effectively present to each other. How deeply can they affect each other and can the transformational working through of the drives give access to potential transformations not only within the dimension of the erogeneous body but also of the soma? This book explores these complex issues from a number of different perspectives: the clinical approach of patients with somatic diseases; the metapsychology of the analyst at work including different aspects and functions of formal regression; the function of figurability of certain bodily enactments; the specific use the analyst can make of his own subjectivity (relationship between subjectivity and neutrality) and how this leads to a specific way of thinking about intersubjectivity in psychoanalysis; and the way in which some works of art can enrich how we confront the body-mind-soma issue in our analytic experiences with our patients.

Driving Strategy to Execution Using Lean Six SigmaA Framework for Creating High Performance Organizations Many organizations develop strategic plans that gather dust on bookshelves. Many other organizations employ Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to eliminate waste and reduce process variation only to find they are not moving the big bars that measure success for the organization. Driving Strategy to Execution Using Lean Six Sigma: A Framework for Creating High Performance Organizations details a framework for leveraging an organization’s Lean Six Sigma capability in a manner that drives their strategic plans to execution by linking their strategy deployment into the fabric of their day-to-day operations. Bolstered by real-world examples of successful strategy execution leveraging and Six Sigma the book provides: An organizational framework for understanding the strategic process A model to follow in developing and executing short-range (5 years out) strategies A model for longer-range visioning scenario modeling and strategy execution An assessment tool for measuring an organization’s transformation to high performance The framework provides a proven methodology that takes a systems approach to creating high performance. It presents the core process of strategy development and SA&D with the governing process of driving the right metrics through a balanced scorecard approach focused on the organization’s value stream. It then combines this with the enabling process of change management and the creation of a culture of problem solving waste elimination and internal discipline to standard work. Anyone can write a book on the procedures behind "Strategy" without understanding the key drivers that give a strategy excitement commitment and fire. Here Gerhard Plenert and Tom Cluley do more than that. First they examine how to make a strategy meaningful and powerful. Then they underline the critical piece to strategy development—the execution piece—which takes the glossy strategy brochure off the shelf and makes a usable and executable plan. The book focuses on how to build great strategies and includes examples of what makes them great. It demonstrates how a well-developed strategy generates excitement within an organization offering you the tools to navigate and design a workable and achievable plan for success for your organization.

Driving the Enterprise to Sustainable ExcellenceA Shingo Process Overview This book presents a big-picture overview of the entire Shingo improvement process. It fully discusses the needs and benefits of the Shingo process and what is required if you seek to execute the Shingo Model in your enterprise and focuses on creating an enduring organization-wide continuous improvement process. It gives the reader a discussion of the entire Shingo experience while the most existing books on the model are course specific. There are numerous discussions conference talks and webinars of why the Shingo process is beneficial and what types of improvements can be achieved but the crucial material has not been assembled in one concise book giving the executive manger or supervisor an overview and understanding of what the Shingo experience entails. The main purpose of this book. It is for the executives who want to understand their role in supporting and leading middle management with its implementation. Many executives from developing countries all over the world are seeking a concise definition of what the Shingo model is and this book functions as the perfect primer. Even those who have attended and implemented the lessons from the Shingo Institute's courses would find this book a benefit as it serves perfectly as backup and reference material. In addition this book helps anyone who has started their journey with the Shingo model and may be confused about what to do and expect -- It gives them a vision of what the continuing journey will look like. The Shingo process is being taught at numerous universities and this book could indeed serve as the appropriate textbook or supplemental reading. Essentially this book teaches an innovative and extremely successful approach to continuous improvement referred to as the Shingo process. It is based on a set of universally accepted principles that are endorsed by improvement leaders such as Covey and companies such as Toyota. This book is not a detailed review or a replacement of the Shingo workshops. It is an overview of the entire Shingo process starting with a discussion of the challenges that many of todays enterprises are experiencing. The author in his role as a PhD in economics has studied industries and has worked closely with many of them attempting to understand their weaknesses. Next this book builds upon an understanding of these weaknesses. The book discusses how the over-all Shingo methodology fits into these organizations and highlights the benefits. The next step is then to discuss what requirements are necessary for an organization to get ready for a Shingo transformation. What are the steps that the organization needs to go through and when will it know that it is ready to begin? The book briefly reviews the Shingo Insights and Principles and explains how the Shingo courses should be best utilized to facilitate the desired transformation. It suggests some alternative plans for over-all implementation based on the current state of the enterprise. It explains why there is no “one way” for successful implementation and how the implementation sequence needs to be customized. It also discusses the length of time needed for success and how this differs depending on the current enterprise environment. Lastly the book explains how the implementation and Shingo training is never finished. It is an on-going process and success is defined by internal improvements not by some arbitrary external benchmark. The book is intended to be educational thought provoking entertaining in its stories and examples and a guideline towards the development of a plan for continuous improvement. This book is filled with stories and examples showing successful and not so successful implementations. The stories are used to highlight many of the pitfalls that have arisen and may arise for you and which can be avoided if the reader is aware of them and knows how to watch for them.

Driving With Music: Cognitive-Behavioural Implications This book the first full-length text on the subject explores the everyday use of music listening while driving a car. It presents the relationship between cars and music in an effort to understand how music behaviour in the car can either enhance driver safety or place the driver at increased risk of accidents. A great deal of work has been done to investigate and reduce driver distraction and inattention but this book is the first to focus on in-cabin aural backgrounds of music as a contributing factor to human error and traffic violations. Driving With Music begins by outlining the automobile its relationship to society and the juxtaposition of music with the automobile as a complete package. It then highlights concepts from the fields of music perception and cognition and within this framework looks at the functional use of background music in our everyday lives. Driver music behaviours - both adaptive and maladaptive - are explored with the focus on contradictions and ill-effects of in-car music listening. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781138748880

Drones and ResponsibilityLegal Philosophical and Socio-Technical Perspectives on Remotely Controlled Weapons How does the use of military drones affect the legal political and moral responsibility of different actors involved in their deployment and design? This volume offers a fresh contribution to the ethics of drone warfare by providing for the first time a systematic interdisciplinary discussion of different responsibility issues raised by military drones. The book discusses four main sets of questions: First from a legal point of view we analyse the ways in which the use of drones makes the attribution of criminal responsibility to individuals for war crimes more complicated and what adjustments may be required in international criminal law and in military practices to avoid ’responsibility gaps’ in warfare. From a moral and political perspective the volume looks at the conditions under which the use of military drones by states is impermissible permissible or even obligatory and what the responsibilities of a state in the use of drones towards both its citizens and potential targets are. From a socio-technical perspective what kind of new human machine interaction might (and should) drones bring and which new kinds of shared agency and responsibility? Finally we ask how the use of drones changes our conception of agency and responsibility. The book will be of interest to scholars and students in (military) ethics and to those in law politics and the military involved in the design deployment and evaluation of military drones.

Drones and the Future of Air WarfareThe Evolution of Remotely Piloted Aircraft This book examines the evolution of airpower and specifically the growth and proliferation of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs). While most existing literature examines either the law or ethics of RPAs and some newer scholarship looks to the battlefield effectiveness (the gains from strikes versus the potential for ‘blowback etc.) this work investigates it from a broader military perspective. It examines the strategy for employment of RPAs across the spectrum of warfare the potential deterrent value of RPAs in some circumstances and the resulting ability of RPAs to fundamentally shift the character of when and how wars are fought. The central aim of this book is to evaluate the role of ‘drones’ in warfare to date and make basic projections on how states will adopt RPAs and UCAVs in the future. At the core is the goal of answering a broad underlying research question: How will the RPA innovation impact military strategy and international security? This book will be of much interest to students of airpower drone warfare military and strategic studies security studies and IR. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138498501

Drought Risk Management and PolicyDecision-Making Under Uncertainty Australia and the United States face very similar challenges in dealing with drought. Both countries cover a range of biophysical conditions both are federations that provide considerable responsibility to state governments for water and land management and both face the challenges in balancing rural industry and urban development especially in relation to the allocation of water. Yet there are critical differences in their approaches to drought science and policy. Drought Risk Management and Policy: Decision Making under Uncertainty explores the complex relationship between scientific research and decision making with respect to drought in Australia and the United States. Risk Management not Crisis Management Drawing on the work of respected academic researchers and policy practitioners the book discusses the issues associated with decision making under uncertainty and the perspectives needs and expectations of scientists policy makers and resource users. Starting from the position that drought is a risk to be managed it considers the implications of the predicted impacts of future climate change. The book also examines the policy responses to these challenges and the role of scientific input into the policy process. Contributors look at drought risk management in action and how end users in the community incorporate drought science into their decision making. The book concludes with lessons learned about science policy and managing uncertainty. Get Insight into the Relationship between Science and Policy—and How to Turn That into More Effective Decision Making Throughout the contributors identify possible reasons for differences in the use and application of drought sciences and approach to policy between the two countries offering valuable insight into the relationship between scientific advice and the policy process. They also highlight the challenges faced at the science–policy interface. Crossing international borders and disciplinary boundaries this timely collection tackles drought policy development as part of the broader discussion about climate change. Although the focus is on Australia and the United States many of the lessons learned are relevant for any country dealing with drought. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781138073890

Drought and the Human StoryBraving the Bull of Heaven Drought has been a long companion in the human story. Mythologised as the devastating Bull of Heaven in one of the earliest heroic legends to come out of Mesapotamia drought has continued to wreak havoc upon societies in many cases playing a significant role in their final demise. For societies in the 21st Century drought hovers on all horizons the ultimate drought-proofing of society - long sought - remains elusive. This study of the human conceptualization of drought in a global setting examines the historical record from early human society through to present day concerns to explore how and why attitudes to drought have changed and why the mitigation of its impacts has become more difficult. To offer a more lasting strategy for protection against drought the author argues that physical scientists need to combine their skills in understanding global ecology and their technological expertise with the social scientists' awareness of the socio-economic political and cultural contexts in which modern societies operate. Both will have to ensure that their cooperative strategies for drought management will be understood and supported by the public. If this cooperation can be achieved the future rampages of the Bull of Heaven may be contained. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138248748

Drought in BrazilProactive Management and Policy Drought is a slow-onset natural hazard that is often referred to as a creeping phenomenon. The challenge of monitoring drought’s onset and evolution and identifying its termination or end is one that scientists natural resource managers and decision makers have been struggling with for decades. However drought management must be aimed at reducing the risks of future drought events on economies the environment and the social fabric of regions.As with many countries droughts are often managed as a crisis in Brazil rather than events for which officials and communities proactively prepare. Although droughts are not new to Brazil the recent spate of droughts in the poverty stricken semi-arid Northeast and the industrial hub of São Paulo in the Southeast has forced the country to think more seriously about finally changing its drought policies and management approaches.The book is told through the perspectives of the ministers and secretaries state policy and technical officials civil society organizations and development practitioners that helped to facilitate the shift in paradigm in Brazil from crisis management and towards proactive management of droughts. It is written in a style that is appealing to both technical and non-technical audiences and aims to provide a framework and lessons for other countries to consider when embarking upon similar efforts to improve their own drought policy and management systems.

Drought in BulgariaA Contemporary Analog for Climate Change Given the different geographical and human contexts in which climate change impacts will be experienced thinking by analogy provides one useful way to explore dimensions of such change. This landmark book based on the human dimensions of global change paradigm examines climate impacts through the study of a contemporary society's response to a drought period analogous to expected future climate. Bulgaria suffered severe drought from 1982 to 1994 conditions which models suggest better reflects future climate than existing norms. The Center for Integrated Regional Assessment at Penn State and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences collaborated to research this drought period as an analogy for future climate. This book shows their assessment of what can be learned from the impacts of and responses to contemporary drought in Bulgaria. It therefore makes an important contribution to the literature on regional climate change and methods used to address anticipated impacts of that change.

Drought: Research and Science-Policy Interfacing Droughts occur in arid and semi-arid areas of the world but also in humid areas and can develop over short periods (flash drought) or longer periods (seasons/decades). Even though progress has been made it remains difficult to adequately characterize monitor forecast and manage droughts due to their multi-faceted nature. Usually drought does not directly cause fatalities but a wide range of socio-economic and environmental effects may occur and depending on the region water-and food-related diseases and casualties can be triggered. Europe has regularly been hit hard by drought (e.g. recently Russia) and large portions of USA Mexico Brazil China India Central Asia South Africa the Great Horn of Africa or Australia have been affected by drought. So globally drought affects more regions and more people than other natural hazards. Additionally climate change projections for many areas indicate that droughts are likely to become more frequent and more severe due to the increased variability of precipitation and temperature tied in some cases to decreased average precipitation and increased average temperature. Hence there is an urgent need to improve drought preparedness through measures that reduce vulnerability to drought and the risks they pose in particular considering the uncertain future. Drought. Research and Science Policy Interfacing includes contributions to the International Conference on DROUGHT: Research and Science-Policy Interfacing (Valencia Spain 10-13 March 2015) the final event of the EU FP7 research project DROUGHT-R&SPI (Fostering European Drought Research and Science-Policy Interfacing). The book aims to foster development of drought policies and plans to reduce risk and vulnerability and to enhance preparedness and resilience. The book addresses the following topics : (1) past present and future of droughts (natural hazards identification and characterization impacts); (2) indicators monitoring and forecasting (including early warning systems) risk and vulnerability assessment and reduction at different scales and (3) preparedness and mitigation options (risk and vulnerability perception water management and governance under drought conditions design and implementation of drought policies and plans from the local to the regional national and international levels research Interfaces with drought policies). Drought. Research and Science Policy Interfacing will be of interest to researchers and professionals in those fields related to drought such as climatology meteorology hydrology agronomy ecology water economy and water management as well as to policy makers involved in drought preparedness and mitigation strategies at local regional national and international levels.

DroughtPast Problems and Future Scenarios Drought is one of the likely consequences of climate change in many regions of the world. Together with an increased demand for water resources to supply the world's growing population it represents a potentially disastrous threat to water supplies agriculture and food production leading to famine and environmental degradation. Yet predicting drought is fraught with difficulty. The aim of this book is to provide a review of the historical occurrence of global drought particularly during the twentieth century and assess the likely potential changes over the twenty-first century under climate change. This includes documentation of the occurrence and impacts of major twentieth century drought events and analysis of the contributing climatic and environmental factors that act to force prolong and dissipate drought. Contemporary drought is placed in the context of climate variability since the last ice age including the many severe and lengthy drought events that contributed to the demise of great civilizations the disappearance of lakes and rivers and the conversion of forests to deserts. The authors discuss the developing field of drought monitoring and seasonal forecasting and describe how this is vital for identifying emerging droughts and for providing timely warning to help reduce the impacts. The book provides a broad overview of large scale drought from historic events such as the US Dust Bowl and African Sahel and places this in the context of climate variability and change. The work is soundly based on detailed research that has looked at drought occurrence over the twentieth century global drought monitoring modeling and seasonal prediction and future projections from climate models.

Drug Abuse and Social Policy in AmericaThe War That Must Be Won Illicit drugs despite the “war” waged by the United States government remain a tremendous drain on the American economy and continue to take their toll on the lives of countless Americans. A comprehensive text with an instructor's manual Drug Abuse and Social Policy in America analyzes why current US policy on the use of licit and illicit mood-altering drugs has failed. This groundbreaking book addresses differences between decriminalization legalization and “zero tolerance”--areas and philosophies that are poorly understood--and suggests a multipronged approach to diminish inappropriate drug use. Physicians health care providers teachers law enforcement officers policymakers social service providers and students of public policy and health will gain a better understanding of substance abuse as a societal problem rather than an individual problem and see that the billions of dollars spent on law enforcement would be better spent on education prevention treatment and providing alternatives to drug use.Currently the leading risk factor associated with the transmission of HIV illicit drugs continue to destroy the fabric of life in many inner-city communities. Yet drugs are a problem for Americans from every corner of society from suburban teenagers to pro athletes to homeless people. Author Barry Stimmel demonstrates in Drug Abuse and Social Policy in America that the drug problem is not being addressed adequately because of a lack of commitment from the majority of Americans and government leaders. The issues Drug Abuse and Social Policy in America asks readers to confront include:Why do we provide insufficient treatment facilities and incarcerate users yet wonder why more prison space is needed?Why do we readily agree to build more prisons rather than community centers that provide alternatives for youths?Why are we concerned with teenage smoking and drinking yet allow advertising of these substances?Why do we advocate rehabilitation but not hire people in recovery?Why do we ask pregnant women with drug problems to seek help then try to take custody of their children rather than provide social support while they receive treatment?Drug Abuse and Social Policy in America challenges academics practitioners and future social service providers and policymakers to rethink their entire conception of the problem of substance abuse in America with a cutting question: “Have we made any substantial progress in diminishing the sue of nicotine the excessive consumption of alcohol or the inappropriate use of prescription drugs all of which are responsible for more illnesses and societal costs than all illicit drugs combined?” Identifying this as the place where all efforts to curb drug use must start Drug Abuse and Social Policy in America offers readers many ways that individuals communities organizations and society can take action and be more effective in convincing both those who consume drugs and those who profit from their sale that their actions are inappropriate and unacceptable.

Drug Abuse: Prevention and TreatmentVolume III Ever since the Shanghai convention in 1909 the threat posed to human well-being by drug abuse has led countries around the world to take action to deal with their drug problems. There are wide variations in the policies pursued but most countries try to reduce both the supply of and the demand for drugs. Unfortunately there is little research consensus on the respective merits of these two approaches or about the best ways to pursue them. Consequently control and prevention policies are mostly driven by political considerations economic realities and cultural expectations though research has played an important part in formulating and evaluating treatments for drug addiction. This volume reviews studies on drug abuse prevention and treatment strategies under five main areas: 1. Reducing supply - strategies to control the flow of drugs from production to retail distribution; 2. Reducing demand - prevention of drug use at all stages of involvement and consumption levels; 3. Reducing harm - promoting situational risk reduction practices for regular users addicts and recreational users; 4. Reducing addiction - drug treatment options for various groups in various settings; and 5. Drug policies and prescriptions - focused on debates about prohibition and legalization.

Drug AbuseIts Natural History and Clinical Treatment The success or failure of drug treatment programs have long been evaluated by assessing the clients' progress while in treatment and their status upon completion. This approach does not provide a complete assessment or an adequate picture of treatment outcomes over time. A comprehensive evaluation of the success or failure of treatment should also include client status in the years following treatment for a fair assessment of the long-term efficacy of any drug-treatment program. What happens to former clients who left treatment? What influence did the treatment have on their lives? These are the questions that Marvin R. Burt seeks to answer with the follow-up studies included in this book. By selecting samples of former clients treated by two of the largest drug treatment agencies in the U.S. and control groups Burt compares client behavior in terms of drug abuse criminal activity and socioeconomic productivity before immediately following and well after treatment. The findings in this book challenge many common assumptions about drug treatment programs. Burt finds larger than expected positive behavioral changes in clients regardless of treatment duration or type and demographic or background characteristics. Whether the results are attributable to the clients' maturation commitment to change or a reduction in the availability of drugs the positive results of treatment are encouraging. This volume provides valuable insight into the natural history of drug abuse and outcomes for client groups. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781412818261

Drug Control and International Law This book provides for an extensive legal analysis of the international drug control system in light of the growing challenges and criticism that this system faces. In the current debate on global drug policy the central pillars of the international drug control system – the UN Drug Conventions as well as its institutions – are portrayed as outdated suppressive and seen as an obstacle to necessary changes. The book’s objective is to provide an in-depth and positivist insight into drug control’s present legal framework and thus provide for a better understanding of the normative assumptions upon which drug control is currently based. This is attained by clarifying the objectives of the international drug control system and the premises by which these objectives are to be achieved. The objective of the current global framework of international drug control is the limitation of drugs to medical and scientific purposes. The meaning of this objective and its concrete implications for States’ parties as well as its problems from the perspective of other regimes of international law most notably international human rights law are extensively analysed. Additionally the book focuses on how the international drug control system attempts to reach the objective of confining drugs to medical and scientific purposes i.e. by setting up a universal system that exercises a rigid control on drug supply. The consequences of this heavy focus on the reduction of drug supply are outlined and the book concludes by making suggestions on how the international drug control system could be reformed in the near future in order to better meet the existing challenges.The analysis occurs from a general international law perspective. It aims to map the international drug control system within a wider context of international law and to understand whether the problems that the international drug control system faces are exemplary for the difficulties that institutionalized systems of global scope face in the twenty-first century.  Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367584993

Drug CourtsIn Theory and in Practice Drug courts offer offenders an intensive court-based treatment program as an alternative to the normal adjudication process. Begun in 1989 they have since spread dramatically throughout the United States. In this interdisciplinary examination of the expanding movement a distinguished panel of legal practitioners and academics offers theoretical assessments and on-site empirical analyses of the workings of various courts in the United States along with detailed comparisons and contrasts with related developments in Britain. Practitioners politicians and academics alike acknowledge the profound impact drug courts have had on the American criminal justice system. From a range of disciplinary perspectives contributors to this volume seek to make sense of this important judicial innovation. While addressing a range of questions Drug Courts also aims to achieve a careful balance between focused empirical studies and broader theoretical analyses of the same phenomenon. The volume maintains an analytical concentration on drug courts and on the important practical philosophical and jurisprudential consequences of this unique form of therapeutic jurisprudence.Drug courts depart from the practices and procedures of typical criminal courts. Prosecutors and defense counsel play much-reduced roles. Often lawyers are not even present during regular drug court sessions. Instead the main courtroom drama is between the judge and client both of whom speak openly and freely in the drug court setting. Often accompanying the client is a treatment provider who advises the judge and reviews the client's progress in treatment. Court sessions are characterized by expressive and sometimes tearful testimonies about the recovery process and are often punctuated with applause from those in attendance. Taken together the chapters provide a variety of perspectives on drug courts and extend our knowledge of the birth and evolution of a new movement.

Drug Delivery Across Physiological Barriers Transport of pharmaceutical agents in the body is paramount to therapeutic efficacy. Advances in the past decades have rendered a remarkable improvement of drug delivery strategies which has helped to increase the bioavailability of therapeutic agents by protecting them from degradation targeting them to diseased sites and controlling their circulation time and release rate. Additionally for most therapeutics reaching the targets of action require penetration across tissues and/or entry within cells. The design of strategies to control the transport of therapeutic compounds through these physiological barriers has become an imperative and a challenging need in the quest for better therapeutics. This book provides an overview of the current advances in this field including considerations on the biological regulation and natural mechanisms overcoming these barriers as well as drug delivery strategies facilitating the transport of drugs and their carriers at the tissue cell and subcellular levels.

Drug MetabolismChemical and Enzymatic Aspects In order to understand drug metabolism at its most fundamental level pharmaceutical scientists must be able to analyze drug compound structure and predict possible metabolic pathways in order to avoid the risk of adverse reactions that lead to the withdrawal of a drug from the market. This title is a comprehensive guide for recognizing the chemical underpinnings of drug metabolism. While there are numerous resources available to medicinal chemists for understanding drug structure and to pharmacologists for discerning drug metabolism from a biological standpoint no resource currently exists that links the chemical and biological aspects in language accessible to both-making it challenging for both groups to fully comprehend how a drug is metabolized as well as the potential effects of the metabolites. Drug Metabolism: Chemical and Enzymatic Aspects provides extensive material to help understand drug metabolism within a biological context and for predicting and mitigating adverse drug reactions.

Drug Policy and the Decline of the American City The drug trade is a growth industry in most major American cities fueling devastated inner-city economies with revenues in excess of $100 billion. In this timely volume Sam Staley provides a detailed in-depth analysis of the consequences of current drug policies focusing on the relationship between public policy and urban economic development and on how the drug economy has become thoroughly entwined in the urban economy. The black market in illegal drugs undermines essential institutions necessary for promoting long-term economic growth including respect for civil liberties private property and nonviolent conflict resolution. Staley argues that America's cities can be revitalized only through a major restructuring of the urban economy that does not rely on drug trafficking as a primary source of employment and income-the inadvertent outcome of current prohibitionist policy. Thus comprehensive decriminalization of the major drugs (marijuana cocaine and heroin) is an important first step toward addressing the economic and social needs of depressed inner cities. Staley demonstrates how decriminalization would refocus public policy on the human dimension of drug abuse and addiction acknowledge that the cities face severe development problems that promote underground economic activity and reconstitute drug policy on principles consistent with limited government as embodied in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Designed to cross disciplinary boundaries Staley's provocative analysis will be essential reading for urban policymakers sociologists economists criminologists and drug-treatment specialists.

Drug Synergism and Dose-Effect Data Analysis Not since this author's bestselling Manual of Pharmacologic Calculation-long out of print-has there been a reference available for drug data analysis and even that work did not deal with drug combinations. Although pharmacologists and most other scientists know what synergism is mainstream textbooks tend to neglect it as a quantitative topic. Few researchers are familiar with the quantitative methodology needed to differentiate synergistic responses from the simply additive responses expected from drug combinations or a single drug's interaction with endogenous chemicals.In Drug Synergism and Dose-Effect Data Analysis noted pharmacologist mathematician and author Ronald J. Tallarida finally brings these methods to light. Drawing on statistical theory and methods but keeping the special needs of the pharmacologist in mind he begins his treatment with dose-response relations the statistical analysis of the data and the models that describe them. He also offers the only modern presentation of probit and logit analysis and provides detailed calculation methods not found in typical statistics books. Numerous examples accompany a presentation that clearly illustrates the calculations and experimental design considerations for modern drug analysis. You'll find the conceptual background the algorithms and new research developments. In short Drug Synergism and Dose-Effect Data Analysis has everything you need to perform with confidence the quantitative analysis of dose response data.

Drugs Alcohol and SportA Critical History The use of alcohol and drugs seems contradictory to the popular ideal of sport as a healthy moral and physical pursuit and yet it has been present in sports culture since clubs first became the focus for competitive games and social gatherings. Charting the changing patterns of the use of drugs and alcohol since the nineteenth century this is a critical history that relates substance consumption and regulation to social relations of power: sports men and women almost revelling in their deviance and leaving the moral agonising to their supposed ‘superiors’. In addition certain substances have become at various times the focus of heightened controversy raising questions about the symbolism of the body in sport its uses and behaviours and associated perceptions. These questions are tackled here in a lively discussion on the social construction of drug and alcohol use ideal as a catalyst for debate or as an informed introduction to the hottest topic in sport today. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in History. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315878782

Drugs Clubs and Young PeopleSociological and Public Health Perspectives In this volume contributors employ sociological and public health perspectives to offer insights into behaviours common at raves and nightclubs. The volume provides theoretical observations on illicit club drug use and supply helping to challenge current orthodoxies on the role of drug use within young peoples' lives. Drawing material from the USA UK and Hong Kong the volume allows the demystification of stereotypical presentations surrounding young people who attend clubs and/or use club drugs. This work provides a badly needed and objective analysis of youthful drug use and a foundation from which future sociological and public studies on young people clubs and drugs - as well as young people themselves - will benefit.

Drugs Daydreaming and PersonalityA Study of College Youth Originally published in 1980 this book presents a detailed account of a series of investigations that examined the patterns of resort to drugs and alcohol use in college youth and how such substance uses are linked to personality characteristics and daydreaming patterns. The Editors chose to emphasize the more "private" features of the personality because these had often been ignored in earlier research despite popular assumptions that there are close ties between fantasy inwardness "spacey" qualities (all suggesting permanent changes in mental organization) and substance use in youth. This volume will be of interest to a wider audience than just drug and alcohol researchers because of the effort to go beyond normative patterns of substance use toward explorations of personality and consciousness.

Drugs Insecurity and Failed StatesThe Problems of Prohibition The world’s wealthiest nations have expended vast blood and treasure in tracking and capturing traffickers dealers and consumers of narcotics as well as destroying crops and confiscating shipments. Yet the global trade in illicit drugs is thriving with no apparent change in the level of consumption despite decades of prohibition. This Adelphi argues that the present enforcement regime is not only failing to win the ‘War on Drugs’; it is also igniting and prolonging that conflict on the streets of producer and transit countries where the supply chain has become interwoven with state institutions and cartels have become embroiled in violence against their rivals and with security forces. 　　　　 What can be done to secure the worst affected regions and states such as Latin America and Afghanistan? By examining the destabilising affects of prohibition as well as alternative approaches such as that adopted by the authorities in Portugal this book shows how progress may be made by treating consumption as a healthcare issue rather than a criminal matter thereby freeing states to tackle the cartels and traffickers who hold their communities to ransom.

Drugs Law People Place and the StateOngoing regulation resistance and change Though any psychoactive substance can be revered or reviled as a drug as people’s cultural norms shift ultimately its status is determined in law by the state. This publication explores the regulation of drugs – alcohol and cannabis to heroin and cocaine – and practices such as social drinking and public injecting under political regimes. Drugs are discussed in their geographical contexts: the colonial legacy of cannabis prohibition for bioprospecting in Africa; the veracity of the persistent notion of the narco-state; Turkey’s governance of drinking amid civil unrest; and alcohol’s place in the neoliberal political economy of Ireland. In addition drug policies are examined: from problems in managing drug-related litter in the UK to supervised injecting facility provision in Australia; harm reduction in Canada; and the global network of drug policy activists. Place is significant but porous borders territorial overlaps and multi-scalar linkages are influential in remaking the world through current challenges to the ‘war on drugs’.

Drugs Power and PoliticsNarco Wars Big Pharma and the Subversion of Democracy This book explores the increasingly broad terrain of drugs in American society with an emphasis on politics. It begins with the War on Drugs initiated by President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s and extends to the current day with the vast power of the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) expansion of global criminal syndicates militarization of the drug war and struggles between states and federal government over the legalization of marijuana. From the beginning the drug war produced increasing authoritarian tendencies in American politics visible not only in swollen national bureaucracies and burgeoning police functions but in the rise of the largest prison-industrial complex in the world a surveillance state and the weakening of personal privacy and freedoms. At the same time the legal drug system with some of the most profitable business operations anywhere has expanded to create a huge medical edifice affecting the delivery of health care development of modern psychology evolution of the treatment industry and many other areas of contemporary life including the world of sports and recreation. Although prohibitionism remains very much alive targeting a wide range of illicit drugs today it is the hundreds of widely-marketed chemical substances sold by Big Pharma that result in some of the most serious health problems affecting society. This book explores the long historical trajectory of both the War on Drugs and the growth of Big Pharma focusing on social outcomes and political consequences in the US and beyond.

Drugs and Crime A high proportion of crimes committed in Britain are drugs-related with many offenders having a documented history of drug use. However the direct link between drugs and crime is often less clear than is supposed and this text attempts to achieve a better understanding of these and surrounding issues that have been marred by misunderstanding and a lack of consensus amongst experts. This text offers a major contribution to existing debates and provides an authoritative and much-needed overview of the range of issues associated with drugs-related crime. Coverage includes: a discussion on theoretical approaches to drugs and crime an overview of the legal position on drugs and drug offenders a critique of the aims and nature of treatment an examination of trafficking and laundering an analysis of the policing of drugs markets a discussion about the legalisation debates. This new edition has been fully updated to include the latest data and recent developments in policy and particular attention is paid to changes in sentencing and treatment as well as changes to practice in trafficking. An expanded chapter on women drugs and crime now offers further coverage of drug-taking and prostitution. This is the only book in Britain which centres on the links between drugs and crime and deals with the policy implications of that link. It is a comprehensive account of the various aspects of Government policy concerning drugs and should be particularly useful to academics and students interested in or studying this aspect of criminology.

Drugs and CultureKnowledge Consumption and Policy Current approaches to drugs tend to be determined by medical and criminal visions that emerged over a century ago; the concepts of addiction on the one hand and drug control on the other having imposed themselves as the unquestionable central notions surrounding drug issues and discourses. Pathologization and criminalization are the dominant perspectives on psychoactive drugs and it is difficult to describe drug consumption in any terms other than those of medicine or to conceive of regulation except in terms of control and eradication. Drugs and Culture presents other voices and understandings of drug issues highlighting the socio-cultural features of drug use and regulation in modern societies. It examines the cultural dimensions of drugs and their regulation with special attention to questions of how consumption of specific psychoactive substances becomes associated with particular social groups; the social dynamics involved in our coming to think of these phenomena as we do; and the factors that determine the political and policy responses to drug use. Adopting approaches from anthropology sociology history political science and geopolitics to challenge the prevailing pathologization and criminalization of drug use this book provides international and comparative perspectives on drug research based on the latest research in Europe the USA the Middle East and Hong Kong.

Drugs and Popular Culture The use of illegal drugs is so common that a number of commentators now refer to the 'normalisation' of drug consumption. It is surprising then that to date very little academic work has explored drug use as part of contemporary popular culture. This collection of readings will apply an innovatory multi-disciplinary approach to this theme combining some of the most recent research on 'the normalisation thesis' with fresh work on the relationship between drug use and popular culture. In drawing upon criminological sociological and cultural studies approaches this book will make an important contribution to the newly emerging field positioned at the intersection of these disciplines. The particular focus of the book is upon drug consumption as popular culture. It aims to provide an accessible collection of chapters and readings that will explore drug use in popular culture in a way that is relevant to undergraduates and postgraduates studying a variety of courses including criminology sociology media studies health care and social work.

Drugs in SocietyThe Epidemiologically Based Needs Assessment Reviews Vols 1 & 2 This title includes Foreword by Paul Griffiths Scientific Coordinator European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) Portugal. "Provocative. Stimulating. Reflect[s] the diverse and eclectic nature of drug use in Europe and in doing so makes for a rich reading experience. This book is about drug use as a dynamic social behaviour where understanding meaning and motivations and culture and context are as important as understanding the actions of chemicals on the brain or body. It clearly illustrates the value of social research as a powerful tool for illuminating subjects that are too often overlooked in the discourse on the drug problem but also reminds us why such a detailed vision is important." "If you are feeling jaded and uninspired and have forgotten why this topic ever interested you in the first place; if you simply want to read something provocative and different that reminds you of why the use of drugs is not only an important policy issue but also a fascinating area for social research - this book is for you - and these seem to me pretty good reasons for recommending a text." - Paul Griffiths in the Foreword.

The author has selected a few drugs – highlights representing milestones affecting our well-being and influencers of social change. The stories told are dramatic and include spectacular successes and dismal failures. And the people about whom these stories are told are both saints and sinners – selfless and conniving – bold and mercurial and shy and retiring loner. The drugs themselves mirror the diversity of their origin stories and the author assembles all sides of these fascinating stories.     Key Selling Features: Chronicles the development of some of the most significant drugs affecting human health Offers easy-to-follow and understandable explanations of how drugs work Explains the science underlying the processes of drug discovery Helps readers appreciate the contributions of the individuals involved in drug discovery and development Serves as essential reading for anyone interested in human health and public policy Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781138575776

DrugsAmerica's Holy War Using the best scientific evidence Drugs: America's Holy War explores the impact and cost of America’s "War on Drugs" – both in tax spending and in human terms. Is it possible that US drug policies are helping to proliferate not prevent a multitude of social ills including: homicide property crime the spread of AIDS the contamination of drugs the erosion of civil liberties the punishment of thousands of non-violent people the corruption of public officials and the spending of billions of tax dollars in an attempt to prevent certain drugs from entering the country? In this controversial new book award-winning economist Arthur Benavie analyzes the research findings and argues that an end to the war on drugs much as we ended alcohol prohibition would yield enormous international benefits destroy dangerous and illegal drug cartels and allow the American government to refocus its attention on public well-being.

Dry Bones BreatheGay Men Creating Post-AIDS Identities and Cultures Dry Bones Breathe: Gay Men Creating Post-AIDS Identities and Cultures breaks new ground in offering an original and insightful interpretation of gay men’s shifting experience of the AIDS epidemic. From Dry Bones Breathe you’ll gain a deeper understanding of current community debates focused on circuit parties unprotected sex and gay men’s sexual cultures and you will learn how social political and biomedical changes are dramatically transforming gay identities and cultures.Dry Bones Breathe is Eric Rofes’explosive follow-up to Reviving the Tribe a book which broke open debates in gay communities around the world about sex identity and gay men’s relationship to AIDS. In this volume Rofes contends that most gay men no longer experience AIDS as the crisis they did during the 1980s. Gay men often attribute this shift to the advent of protozoa inhibitors but Rofes explains how other factors including the epidemic’s predicted trajectory new treatments for opportunistic infections the passage of time and the increasing diversity of gay men inhabiting communities throughout the country have set in motion the transformation of gay life. AIDS organizations and gay leaders however continue to assert that gay men experience AIDS as an emergency resulting in a tremendous dissonance between gay leaders and their communities. In the midst of this controversy Dry Bones Breathe lets you share in stories of hope and recovery and a new vision for AIDS work that demands a radical redesign of prevention care and activism. Dry Bones Breathe tackles several other issues concerning the powerful shifts occurring in gay communities and cultures by: explaining why an understanding of the terms “post-AIDS” and “post-crisis” is crucial to interpreting contemporary gay male cultures and what Australian prevention theorists have to offer gay men in the United States describing the “Protozoa Moment” and exploring how a dangerous obsession with pharmaceuticals is leading many to mistakenly attribute all changes in gay men’s cultures to combination therapies examining the writings of Larry Kramer Andrew Sullivan Michelangelo Signorile and Gabriel Rightly to illustrate how the crisis construct has unleashed a backlash against gay sexual cultures discussing the dramatic diminution in gay men’s AIDS-related deaths in epicenter cities and the impact of shrinking obituary pages on gay men’s mental health exploring the diverse relationships to the epidemic forged by young gay men gay men of color gay men from rural or small towns and middle-aged men not infected with HI detailing how HI prevention and service organizations targeting gay men must redesign their mission and restructure their work In response to continuing efforts to direct gay men back into a state of emergency Dry Bones Breathe suggests that long-term prevention efforts must be constructed around something other than a crisis. While AIDS organizations look at gay men’s diminished participation in AIDS activism Rofes argues that these organizations should face how they have distanced themselves from the reality of most gay men’s lives. From stories and experiences full of hope anger sadness and strength Dry Bones Breathe will teach you about gay men who no longer base their identities and cultures solely around AIDS.

Dryden's Poetic Kingdoms (Routledge Revivals) Dr. Roper describes the mode of many of Dryden’s original poems by redefining the royalism that provides the matter of some works and the metaphoric vocabulary of others. Dryden’s royalism is seen both as an identifiable political attitude and a way of apprehending public life that again and again relates superficially non-political matters to the standards and assumptions of politics in order to determine their public significance. Dryden’s Poetic Kingdoms first published in 1965 principally through readings of ten poems comes to the conclusion that Dryden’s poems are most successful when they work to create a meaningful analogy between such topics as literature and politics or between the constitution of England and the constitution of Rome the Garden of Eden or Israel under David.

Dual Citizenship in EuropeFrom Nationhood to Societal Integration In an age of terrorism and securitized immigration dual citizenship is of central theoretical and political concern. The contributors to this timely volume examine policies regarding dual citizenship across Europe covering a wide spectrum of countries. The case studies explore the negotiated character and boundaries of political membership and the fundamental beliefs and arguments within distinct political cultures and institutional settings which have shaped debates and policies on citizenship. The analyses explore the similarities and differences in the politics of dual citizenship to identify the dominant terms of public debates within and across selected immigration and emigration states in Europe. The research demonstrates that policies on dual citizenship are not simply explained by different concepts of nationhood. Instead concepts of societal integration which may well be contested in a given polity are extremely influential. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138275584

Dual Process Theory 2.0 Dual Process Theory 2.0 provides a comprehensive overview of the new directions in which dual process research is heading. Human thinking is often characterized as an interplay between intuition and deliberation and this two-headed dual process view of human thinking has been very influential in the cognitive sciences and popular media. However despite the popularity of the dual process framework it faces multiple challenges. Recent advances indicate that there is a strong need to re-think some of the fundamental assumptions of the original dual process model. With chapters written by leading scholars who have been actively involved in the development of an upgraded ‘Dual Process Theory 2.0’ this edited volume presents an accessible overview of the latest empirical findings and theoretical ideas.. With cutting edge insights on the interaction between intuition and deliberation Dual Process Theory 2.0 should be of interest to psychologists philosophers and economists who are using dual process models.

Dual-career MarriageA System in Transition Dual-career marriage in which wife and husband each pursue a professional career offers a window into the changing landscape of gender roles and relations. In the span of a single generation the family in which both parents work outside the home has gone from being the exception to being the rule. This book examines the multi-layered implications this impressive rapid change holds for the fabric of family and marital life and for the course of men's and women's work lives. Intensive interviews with dual-career wives and husbands provide rich information about four major issues: * In what ways and for whom do dual-career marriages replicate the traditional gender arrangements of one-career marriages and in what ways do dual-career marriages represent a revolution in gender roles? * How do the two careers of spouses develop side by side and in what ways do dual-career spouses help or hinder each other's careers? * How do work and family combine in dual-career marriages? * How are relationships between spouses and between parents and children affected by dual careers? This book presents a subtle textured portrait of contemporary dual-career marriage -- examining the complicated interplay of expectations behaviors and emotions within and between dual-career spouses. The author observes that the centrality of family or work to each spouse's sense of self powerfully affects how the couple negotiates the challenges posed by dual-career marriage including feelings of competition between spouses questions of geographic moves and division of domestic tasks. The study illuminates many issues of clinical relevance such as the common hazard of dual-career spouses having little time for marital intimacy once the rigorous demands of careers and children are met and the complicated intrapersonal as well as interpersonal tensions generated by gender roles in transition.

DualismThe Original Sin of Cognitivism Directed to scholars and senior-level graduate students this book is an iconoclastic survey of the history of dualism and its impact on contemporary cognitive psychology. It argues that much of modern cognitive or mentalist psychology is built upon a cryptodualism--the idea that the mind and brain can be thought of as independent entities. This dualism pervades so much of society that it covertly influences many aspects of modern science particularly psychology. To support the argument the history of dualism is extended over 100 000 years--from the Paleolithic times until modern philosophical and psychological thinking. The questions regarding this topic that are answered in the book are: 1) Does dualism influence the scientific theories of psychology? 2) If so should dualism be put aside in the search for a more objective analysis of human mentation?

Duality of the MindA Bottom-up Approach Toward Cognition This book is a condensation of a large body of work concerning human learning carried out over a period of more than five years by Dr. Sun and his collaborators. In a nutshell this work is concerned with a broad framework for studying human cognition based on a new approach that is characterized by its focus on the dichotomy of and the interaction between explicit and implicit cognition and a computational model that implements this framework. In this work a broad generic computational model was developed that instantiates Dr. Sun's framework and enables the testing of his theoretical approach in a variety of ways. With this model simulation results were matched with data of human cognition in a variety of different domains. Formal (mathematical and computational) analyses were also carried out to further explore the model and its numerous implementational details. Furthermore this book addresses some of the most significant theoretical issues such as symbol grounding intentionality social cognition consciousness and other theoretical issues in relation to the framework. The general framework and the model developed generate interesting insights into these theoretical issues. Media > Books > Print Books Psychology Press 9780415647298

Dubai AmplifiedThe Engineering of a Port Geography Following the British withdrawal in 1971 the Gulf Region entered a heady period of political restructuring awash with oil money that helped fund national aspirations. Infrastructure investment became a central part of the region's nation-building initiatives and fueled strong competition. Without its neighbours' oil fields infrastructure and territorial development became particularly vital to Dubai. This book provides a unique and detailed understanding of Dubai urbanism by demonstrating that cumulative programmatic intensification and scalar amplification of its large-scale infrastructural components guided its metropolitan growth and generated a territorial organization logic that outstripped the predictive capacity of traditional Western master planning. Dubai’s rapid series of infrastructural projects culminated in the Jebel Ali Port Industrial Area and Free Zone which marked a definitive "before and after" point. The book shows how Jebel Ali also became the template for subsequent developments Dubai World Holdings Company's international aspirations and the agencies that manage and regulate Dubai's large-scale infrastructural projects today. Dubai Amplified highlights the cycle of typological borrowing prototypical replication and scalar amplification specifically in Dubai's infrastructure projects to best describe its general territorial development. While infrastructure is traditionally understood as the elemental "hardware" that undergirds urban development the book concludes by arguing that the definition should be expanded in this case as more of a set of objects networks and services that cities can selectively borrow replicate and amplify.

Dublin’s Bourgeois HomesBuilding the Victorian Suburbs 1850-1901 In 1859 Dubliners strolling along country roads witnessed something new emerging from the green fields. The Victorian house had arrived: wide red brick structures stood back behind manicured front lawns. Over the next forty years an estimated 35 000 of these homes were constructed in the fields surrounding the city. The most elaborate were built for Dublin’s upper middle classes distinguished by their granite staircases and decorative entrances. Today they are some of the Irish capital’s most highly valued structures and are protected under strict conservation laws. Dublin’s Bourgeois Homes is the first in-depth analysis of the city’s upper middle-class houses. Focusing on the work of three entrepreneurial developers Susan Galavan follows in their footsteps as they speculated in house building: signing leases acquiring plots and sourcing bricks and mortar. She analyses a select range of homes in three different districts: Ballsbridge Rathgar and Kingstown (now Dun Laoghaire) exploring their architectural characteristics: from external form to plan type and detailing of materials. Using measured surveys photographs and contemporary drawings and maps she shows how house design evolved over time as bay windows pushed through façades and new lines of coloured brick were introduced. Taking the reader behind the façades into the interiors she shows how domestic space reflected the lifestyle and aspirations of the Victorian middle classes. This analysis of the planning design and execution of Dublin’s bourgeois homes is an original contribution to the history of an important city in the British Empire.

Duchamp Aesthetics and Capitalism This book is a significant re-thinking of Duchamp’s importance in the twenty-first century taking seriously the readymade as a critical exploration of object-oriented relations under the conditions of consumer capitalism. The readymade is understood as an act of accelerating art as a discourse of pushing to the point of excess the philosophical precepts of modern aesthetics on which the notion of art in modernity is based. Julian Haladyn argues for an accelerated Duchamp that speaks to a contemporary condition of art within our era of globalized capitalist production.

Duct Tape ParentingA Less is More Approach to Raising Respectful Responsible and Resilient Kids There's a new set of 3Rs for our kids-respect responsibility and resilience-to better prepare them for life in the real world. Once developed these skills let kids take charge and let parents step back to the benefit of all. Casting hover mothers and helicopter parents aside Vicki Hoefle encourages a different counter-intuitive-yet much more effective-approach: for parents to sit on their hands stay on the sidelines even if duct tape is required so that the kids step up. Duct Tape Parenting gives parents a new perspective on what it means to be effective engaged parents and to enable kids to develop confidence through solving their own problems. This is not a book about the parenting strategy of the day-what the author calls "Post-It Note Parenting"-but rather a relationship-based guide to span all ages and stages of development. Witty straight-shooting Hoefle addresses frustrated parents everywhere who are ready to raise confident capable children to go out in the world. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781937134181

Due DiligenceThe Critical Stage in Mergers and Acquisitions How can you be sure you are buying the company you think you are? Are you sure it is as good as the seller says? How can you be certain unexpected costs and obligations will not suddenly appear once you are the owner and responsible for them? How best can you arm yourself for the negotiations? Have you worked out precisely what you are going to do with it once it is yours? How do you set the priorities for change to recoup the premium you have paid for it? The answer to all these questions and many more lies with effective due diligence. Due diligence is one of the most important but least well understood aspects of the acquisition process. It is not as many believe a chore to be left to the accountants and lawyers. To get the best from it due diligence has to be properly planned and professionally managed. This book is a comprehensive manual on getting due diligence right. It is a uniquely comprehensive guide covering all aspects of the process from financial legal and commercial due diligence right through to environmental and intellectual property due diligence. There are also useful chapters on working with advisers and managing due diligence projects. It also includes a number of checklists to help ensure that the right questions are asked.

Due Process Denied: Detentions and Deportations in the United States Due process protections are among the most important Constitutional protections in the United States yet they do not apply to non-citizens facing detention and deportation. Due Process Denied describes the consequences of this lack of due process through the stories of deportees and detainees. People who have lived nearly all of their lives in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment. The court's insistence that deportation is not punishment does not align with the experiences of deportees. For many deportation is one of the worst imaginable punishments.

Due Process Protections for YouthDefense Counsel Policies and Disparity in the Juvenile Justice System This monograph illuminates the connections between juvenile defense policies and the racially disparate impact of the juvenile justice system. The limited data that exist on youth in the juvenile justice system consistently depict disparate contact and outcomes for black youth across the system. The broad rehabilitative goals of the U.S. juvenile justice system along with the "best interest" legal standard of the child welfare system muddle the protection of youth due process rights. States differ widely in their policies granting defense counsel and many policies lack specific language for policies addressing notions such as appointment timing duration of representation waiver criteria and role of counsel. Using a combination of legal and sociological research methods this book examines the lack of specificity in the language of juvenile defense policies and connects the dots between this deficiency with the racially disparate impact of the system contextualizing findings within a broader theoretical constructs of race and law. The author introduces common elements of juvenile defense policies describes their impact and makes suggestions for strengthening defense counsel policies. The book concludes with a call to action regarding expanded data-collection practices for juvenile delinquency courts. This book is essential reading for those engaged in youth and juvenile justice efforts and scholars interested in issues surrounding due process race class social policy and justice.

Due RespectThe Morality of the Welfare State Published in 1998 this critical analysis of welfare state morality argues that all its essential claims are untenable: that need-based distribution of goods is inconsistent with its rationale; that morality can be given a rational grounding from which follows an exceptionally strong right of personal sovereignty; that cognitive self-sufficiency in the ordinary adult shows capacity to deal adequately with the problems of life. The same arguments lay the basis for an alternative social morality giving the individual his due respect. Among the topics are subjective and objective approaches to moral justification; when moral intuitions must be rejected; how it can be rational to act against reason; personal autonomy and the irresistible impulse; and why and when expropriation is morally permissible. A summary chapter applies the main conclusions to the poverty problem comparing welfare state morality and the alternative in action. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138618442

Duelling the Russian Cultural Imagination and Masculinity in Crisis This book written from a feminist perspective uses the focus of duelling to discuss the nature of masculinity in Russia. It traces the development of duelling and masculinity historically from the time of Peter the Great onwards considers how duelling and masculinity have been represented in both literature and film and assesses the high emphasis given in Soviet times to gender equality arguing that this was a failed experiment that ran counter to Russian tradition. It examines how duelling continues to be a feature of life in contemporary Russia and relates the situation in Russia to wider scholarship on the nature of masculinity more generally. Overall the book contends that Russia’s valuing of a strong militaristic form of masculinity is a major problem. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367279653

Duns Scotus on Divine LoveTexts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans The medieval philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus (1266-1308) was one of the great thinkers of Western intellectual culture exerting a considerable influence over many centuries. He had a genius for original and subtle philosophical analysis with the motive behind his philosophical method being his faith. His texts are famous not only for their complexity but also for their brilliance their systematic precision and the profound faith revealed. The texts presented in this new commentary show that Scotus' thought is not moved by a love for the abstract or technical but that a high level of abstraction and technicality was needed for his precise conceptual analysis of Christian faith. Presenting a selection of nine fundamental theological texts of Duns Scotus some translated into English for the first time this book provides detailed commentary on each text to reveal Scotus' conception of divine goodness and the nature of the human response to that goodness. Following an introduction which includes an overview of Scotus' life and works the editors highlight Scotus' theological insights many of which are explored here for the first time and shed new light on topics which were and still are hotly discussed. Scotus is seen to be the first theologian in the history of Christian thought who succeeds in developing a consistent conceptual framework for the conviction that both God and human beings are essentially free. Offering unique insights into Scotus' theological writings and faith and a particular contribution to contemporary debate on Scotus' ethics this book contributes to a clearer understanding of the whole of Scotus' thought.

Duns Scotus on God The Franciscan John Duns Scotus (c. 1266-1308) is the philosopher's theologian par excellence: more than any of his contemporaries he is interested in arguments for their own sake. Making use of the tools of modern philosophy Richard Cross presents a thorough account of Duns Scotus's arguments on God and the Trinity. Providing extensive commentary on central passages from Scotus many of which are presented in translation in this book Cross offers clear expositions of Scotus's sometimes elliptical writing.  Cross's account shows that in addition to being a philosopher of note Scotus is a creative and original theologian who offers new insights into many old problems.

DuoethnographyDialogic Methods for Social Health and Educational Research Duoethnography is a collaborative research methodology in which two or more researchers juxtapose their life histories in order to provide multiple understandings of a social phenomenon. Using their own biographies as sites of research and creating dialogic narratives they provide multiple perspectives of this phenomenon for the reader inviting the viewer to enter the conversation. The dialectic process of creating duoethnography is also designed to be transformative to the writers. In this volume two dozen scholars present the first wave of duoethnographic writings on topics as diverse as gender identity and curriculum with the editors framing key tenets of the methodology around the studies presented. This participatory emancipatory methodology is of interest to those doing qualitative research and narrative writing in many disciplines. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781598746846

Durability Design of Concrete Structures in Severe Environments One of the most pressing problems facing the construction industry globally is the deterioration of major concrete infrastructure in marine and other chloride-containing environments. While recent advancements in concrete technology have made it easier to control the negative impact of deteriorating processes such as alkali-aggregate reaction freezing and thawing and chemical attack chloride-induced corrosion of embedded steel continues to pose the biggest threat to structure durability and performance. The second edition of Durability Design of Concrete Structures in Severe Environments focuses on enhancing the durability and service life of concrete structures. The text describes field experience and deteriorating processes of concrete structures in severe environments and includes current data based on extensive field investigations. It presents a durability design based on calculation of corrosion probability and outlines additional protective strategies and measures. The text also describes procedures for performance-based concrete quality control and quality assurance with documentation of achieved construction quality and compliance with specified durability. The text further covers calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment and includes some new recommended job specifications. What’s New in the Second Edition: This second edition delivers more results and experience from practical applications of the probability-based durability design and the performance-based concrete quality control.

Durability of Bridge StructuresProceedings of the 7th New York City Bridge Conference 26-27 August 2013 On Thursday evening May 23 2013 the Interstate 5 Bridge over the Skagit River in Washington state collapsed due to impact by an oversize truck dumping vehicles and people into the water. Fortunately the bridge is located in a rural area and nobody was killed in the accident but three people were rescued after their cars plunged into the frigid water of the Skagit River. According to Washington state officials the bridge was inspected last year and was not structurally deficient but collapsed because of apparent impact from an oversize truck. Nevertheless the collapse of the steel truss bridge renewed appeals for greater investment in the nation’s aging infrastructure. These appeals are echoed throughout the bridge engineering community worldwide as the condition of deteriorated bridges worsens with increasing traffic loads combined with lack of proper maintenance. Bridge engineers from different countries shared their experience toward achieving durable bridge structures during the 7th New York City Bridge Conference held on August 26-27 2013. This book contains select papers that were presented at the conference. These peer-reviewed papers are valuable contributions and of archival quality in bridge engineering.

Summaries are provided for most sections. It shows how to predict the service life of geosynthetics based on state-of-the-art knowledge and in some cases provides numerical examples. Engineers can use it to decide what they should specify scientists are shown how to perform extrapolations and derive reduction factors and assessors are given a separate section indicating how they should treat the information presented to them including the uncertainties of the methods of testing and extrapolation. While directed primarily at geotextiles reference is made to geomembranes and their use in landfills for which a supplementary chapter is added.

Durability of Industrial Composites Durability of Industrial Composites offers numerical and quantitative solutions to long-term composite failures that are useful to practicing engineers researchers and students. All modes of laminate long-term failure are contemplated with resin toughness and environmental conditions considered. The book develops a simple unified equation to compute the load-dependent durability of laminates under the simultaneous action of cyclic and static loads. The load-independent durability and residual life of equipment immersed in corrosive chemicals are also discussed. The book presents a full discussion of the elusive strain-corrosion mode of failure as well as a complete solution to the durability issue of underground sanitation pipes. The currently accepted durability parameters of HDB Sb and Sc are discarded as incorrect and replaced with the appropriate threshold parameters. The entirely new concept of the "anomalous failure" is fully discussed and solved. The effects of overpressure and spike strains as well as of the operating temperature and moisture are quantitatively evaluated and illustrated in numerical examples.

Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures Reinforced concrete structures corrode as they age with significant financial implications but it is not immediately clear why some are more durable than others. This book looks at the mechanisms for corrosion and how corrosion engineering can be used for these problems to be minimized in future projects. Several different examples of reinforced concrete structures with corrosion problems are described and the various life enhancement solutions considered and applied are discussed. The book includes a chapter on the effectiveness of corrosion monitoring techniques and questions why the reality is at odds with current theory and standards. Specialist contractors consultants and owners of corrosion damaged structures will find this an extremely useful resource. It will also be a valuable reference for students at postgraduate level.

Durkheim Bernard and Epistemology This title first published in 1975 contains two complimentary studies by Paul Q. Hirst: the first based on Claude Bernard’s theory of scientific knowledge and the second concerning Emile Durkheim’s attempt to provide a philosophical foundation for a scientific sociology in The Rules of Sociological Method. The author’s primary concern is to answer the question: is Durkheim’s theory of knowledge logically consistent and philosophically viable? His principal conclusion is that the epistemology developed in the Rules is an impossible one and that its inherent contradictions are proof that sociology as it is commonly understood can never be a scientific discipline.

Durkheim and Modern Education This volume explores Durkheim's place in modern educational thought at three different levels: * Durkheim's ideas on education are analyzed and placed in the context of modern society * current educational issues are explored using a Durkheimian framework * Durkheim's thought is related to that of modern educational theorists to reveal his enduring influence In discussing Durkheim's modern relevance the contributors stress his desire to integrate the practical and theoretical aspects of education. They identify particular pertinence in his focus upon the moral base of education and his insistence upon the importance of the social and society.

Durkheim and Postmodern Culture The present work is an elaboration of the author's previous efforts in Emile Durkheim and the Reformation of Sociology (1988) and The Coming Fin de Sibcle (1991) to demonstrate Durkheim's neglected relevance to the postmodern discourse. The aims include finding affinities between our fin de sibcle and Durkheim's fin de sibcle and connecting the contemporary themes of rebellion against Enlightenment narratives found in postmodern culture with similar concerns found in Durkheim's sociology as well as in his fin de sibcle culture contributing to Durkheimian scholarship as well as to the postmodern discourse. The distinctive aspects of the present study flow from the focus on culture communication and the feminine voice in culture. Durkheim is approached as a fin de sibcle student of culture and his insights applied to our fin de sibcle culture. Furthermore because Durkheim claimed that culture is comprised primarily of collective representations he was a forerunner of the current postmodern concerns with communication. Because Durkheim shall be read in the context of his fin de sibcle this book shall lead to the conclusion that Durkheim was a kind of psychoanalyst such that society is the patient culture comprises the symptoms and the sociologist must decipher decode and even deconstruct collective representations. Yet the Durkheimian deconstruction proposed here is unlike the postmodern deconstructions which criticize and tear apart a text without substituting a better meaning or interpretation. Postmodern discourse has made respectable again the synthesis of multidisciplinary insights that was fashionable in Durkheim's fin de sibcle. In following this postmodern strategy this book is more than a book about Durkheim. It is also a book about his contemporaries among them Carl Justav Jung Thorstein Veblen Henry Adams Georg Simmel and Max Weber. The author does not follow the postmodern strategy completely because he f Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203792834

Durkheim and Representations Durkheim's sociological thought is based on the premise that the world cannot be known as a thing in itself but only through representations rough approximations of the world created either individually or collectively. This set of papers by leading Durkheimians from Britain America and continental Europe is the first concentrated attempt to understand what he meant by representations how his understanding of the term was influenced by Kant and by neo-Kantians like Charles Renouvier and how his use of the concept in his work developed over time. By arguing that his use of representations at the the core of Durkheim's sociological thought this book makes a unique contribution to Durkheimian studies which have recently been dominated by positivist and functionalist interpretations and reveals a thinker very much in tune with contemporary developments in philosophy linguistics and sociology.

Dust and Chemistry in Astronomy Dust is widespread in the galaxy. To astronomers studying stars it may be just an irritating fog but it is becoming widely recognized that cosmic dust plays an active role in astrochemistry. Without dust the galaxy would have evolved differently and planetary systems like ours would not have occurred.   To explore and consolidate this active area of research Dust and Chemistry in Astronomy covers the role of dust in the formation of molecules in the interstellar medium with the exception of dust in the solar system. Each chapter provides thorough coverage of our understanding of interstellar dust particularly its interaction with interstellar gas. Aimed at postgraduate researchers the book also serves as a thorough review of this significant area of astrophysics for practicing astronomers and graduate students.

Dutch Land-use PlanningThe Principles and the Practice Dutch planning is widely known and admired for its ambitions and its achievements. This book provides for the first time a comprehensive description and analysis in English of its full range of policies and practices. It gives an up-to-date account of the principles - written and unwritten - behind the planning and in addition shows how the practice sometimes ignores those principles in order to achieve better results. It describes the content of the policies the measures taken to realise them and the successes and failures. The book is not uncritical of Dutch land-use planning but the author values its strengths and believes that planning in other countries could learn from them. These strengths arise in the continuing tension between the high ambitions of the Dutch planning and the ingenuity and pragmatism exercised in order to realise those ambitions.

Dutch Society1588-1713 This fascinating new interpretation of Dutch society in the Golden Age is a major contribution to early modern history. Dutch society in this period was to a significant extent different from that of the rest of Europe. A high proportion of the population lived in the numerous towns and market forces had penetrated the whole economy and transformed every level of society. The heart of this book is a discussion of the processes by which this unique society was produced and an analysis of its character. These social changes are set against the late sixteenth century background and in the context of international political and economic circumstances of the seventeenth century. In the final chapters the effects of the strains of war and a stagnant and faltering economy on Dutch society are outlined. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315842769

Duties Regarding NatureA Kantian Environmental Ethic In this book Toby Svoboda develops and defends a Kantian environmental virtue ethic challenging the widely-held view that Kant's moral philosophy has little to offer environmental ethics. On the contrary Svoboda contends that on Kantian grounds  there is good moral reason to care about non-human organisms in their own right and to value their flourishing independently of human interests since doing so is constitutive of certain (environmental) virtues. Svoboda argues that Kant’s account of indirect duties regarding nature can ground a compelling environmental ethic: the Kantian duty to develop morally virtuous dispositions strictly proscribes unnecessarily harming organisms and it also gives us moral reason to act in ways that benefit such organisms. Svoboda’s account engages the recent literature on environmental virtue (including Rosalind Hursthouse Philip Cafaro Ronald Sandler Thomas Hill and Louke van Wensveen) and provides an original argument for an environmental ethic firmly rooted in Kant’s moral philosophy.

Dwarfism Spatiality and Disabling Experiences This book provides an in-depth analysis of the social and spatial experiences of people with dwarfism an impairment that results in a person being no taller than 4' 10". This book engages with the concept that dwarfism’s most prominent feature – body size and shape – can form the basis of social discrimination and disadvantages within society. By ignoring body size as a disability it is hard to see the resulting disabling consequences of the built environment. Using a mixed-methods approach and drawing on the work undertaken by human geographers and disability studies academics this book analyses how the relationship between harmful cultural stereotypes and space shapes everyday experiences of people with dwarfism and works to socially exclude them in diverse ways. Showing how spatial and social barriers are not mutually exclusive but can influence one another this book responds to the limited academic work on the subject of dwarfism whilst also contributing to the study of geographies of body size. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies human geography the built environment sociology and medical humanities. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367459062

Dwellers of MemoryYouth and Violence in Medellin Colombia Dwellers of Memory is an ethnographic study of how urban youth in Colombia came to be at the intersection of multiple forms of political drug-related and territorial violence in a country undergoing forty years of internal armed conflict. It examines the ways in which youth in the city of Medellin reconfigure their lives and cultural worlds in the face of widespread violence. This violence has transgressed familiar boundaries and destroyed basic social supports and networks of trust. This volume attempts to map and understand its patterns and flows.The author explores how Medellin's youth locate themselves and make sense of violence through contradictory and shifting memory practices. The violence has not completely taken over their cultural worlds or their subjectivities. Practices of remembering and forgetting are key methods by which these youth rework their identities and make sense of the impact of violence on their lives. While the experience of violence is rooted in urban space and urban youth the memory dwellers use a sense of place oral histories of death and narratives of fear as survival strategies for inhabiting violent neighborhoods. The book also examines fissures in memory the contradictory constructions of young people's subjective selves and practices of gendered violence and terror. All have and continue to pose risks to the historical memory and cultural survival of the residents of Medellin.Dwellers of Memory offers an alternative ethnographic approach to the study of memory and violence one that calls into question whether the role of the ethnographer of violence is to be a mere witness of terror or to oppose it by writing against it. It will be of interest to sociologists anthropologists and students of ethnography. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203792797

Dwelling in Mobile TimesPlaces Practices and Contestations In an era of increasing mobilities places of residence are still vital. Unlike commuting migrating or travelling dwelling usually evokes – at least in modern Western thought – the idea of an immobile private place to rest. This book explores the places spaces and practices of dwelling in mobile times and considers dwelling under the umbrella of broader transformations in society. The manifestations of these transformations are carved out on the level of everyday practices and experiences. Bringing together eight case studies from Europe the USA and Asia on subjects such as gentrification homelessness and displaced persons multi-local and diasporic lifeworlds professional elites and tourism the book explores various and complex entanglements of mobilities and dwelling in detail. In doing so the contributors critically analyse who may be or has to be mobile under which circumstances at present. This book thus demonstrates that mobility is more than movement between localities and that to dwell is more than to be at a locality. Instead mobilities and dwelling are both shaped and challenged by strong but shifting power relations and are thus deeply contested. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cultural Studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367231262

Dwelling with Architecture The dwelling is the most fundamental building type nowhere more so than in the open landscape. This book can be read in a number of ways. It is first a book about houses and particularly the theme ‘dwelling and the land’. It examines the poetic and prosaic issues inherent in claiming a piece of the landscape to live on. It could also be seen as a kind of road map full of both warnings and encouragements for all those involved with or just interested in the making of houses. That the domestic realm and the landscape can be vehicles for significant architectural insights is hardly an original observation. However this book seeks to bring the two topics together in a unique way. In exploring a building type that lies on the cusp of what is commonly understood as ‘building’ and ‘architecture’ it asks fundamental questions about what the very nature of architecture is. Who indeed is the architect and what is their role in the process of creating meaningful buildings? Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415569033

DwellingHeidegger Archaeology Mortality Dwelling: Heidegger Archaeology Mortality negotiates the discourses of phenomenology archaeology and palaeoanthropology in order to extend the ‘dwelling perspective’ an approach in the social sciences particularly associated with Tim Ingold and a number of other thinkers including Chris Tilley Julian Thomas Chris Gosden and Clive Gamble that developed out of an engagement with the thought of Martin Heidegger.This unique book deals with Heidegger’s philosophy as it has been explored in archaeology and anthropology seeking to expand its cross-disciplinary engagement into accounts of early humans and death awareness. Tonner reads Heidegger’s thought of dwelling in connection to recent developments in the archaeology of mortuary practice amongst our ancestors. Agreeing with Heidegger that an awareness of death marks out a distinctive way of ‘being-in-the-world’ Tonner rejects any relict anthropocentrism in Heidegger’s thought and seeks to break down simple divisions between humans and pre-humans.This book is ideal for readers wishing to cross disciplinary boundaries and to challenge anthropocentric thinking in accounts of human evolution. It would be ideal for professional researchers in the fields covered by the book as well as for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367887636

Dwight WaldoAdministrative Theorist for our Times From the early postwar period until his death at the turn of the century Dwight Waldo was one of the most authoritative voices in the field of public administration. Through probing questions creative ideas and novel insights he perhaps contributed more than any other single figure to the development of public administration as a discipline in the mid-20th century from his classic masterful debut The Administrative State (1948) to his last published book The Enterprise of Public Administration (1980). In this new look at Dwight Waldo’s writing Richard Stillman offers a representative selection of Waldo’s most important works alongside introductory essays to help a seasoned public administration scholar as well as the novice student alike appreciate and comprehend Waldo’s remarkable contribution to this critical field of study. 　　 Selections have been chosen for their ability to speak to current and ongoing concerns of the field in the 21st century as well as for their utility readability and importance. This anthology provides new generations of readers with a fresh look at the work of this prolific profoundly influential author while offering both administrative scholars and practitioners renewed access to many of his hard-to-find works. This book will be required reading for all those interested in public administration as a field of inquiry and practice. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138390850

The Social Relations Model incorporates the perspectives of all members of a group into analyses that ascribe views unique to individuals and relationships and views shared by the entire group. Developmental applications of techniques originally designed for concurrent interdependent data are described. Media > Books > Print Books Psychology Press 9781138467163

Dying Death Burial and Commemoration in Reformation Europe In recent years the rituals and beliefs associated with the end of life and the commemoration of the dead have increasingly been identified as of critical importance in understanding the social and cultural impact of the Reformation. The associated processes of dying death and burial inevitably generated heightened emotion and a strong concern for religious propriety: the ways in which funerary customs were accepted rejected modified and contested can therefore grant us a powerful insight into the religious and social mindset of individuals communities Churches and even nation states in the post-reformation period. This collection provides an historiographical overview of recent work on dying death and burial in Reformation and Counter-Reformation Europe and draws together ten essays from historians literary scholars musicologists and others working at the cutting edge of research in this area. As well as an interdisciplinary perspective it also offers a broad geographical and confessional context ranging across Catholic and Protestant Europe from Scotland England and the Holy Roman Empire to France Spain and Ireland. The essays update and augment the body of literature on dying death and disposal with recent case studies pointing to future directions in the field. The volume is organised so that its contents move dynamically across the rites of passage from dying to death burial and the afterlife. The importance of spiritual care and preparation of the dying is one theme that emerges from this work extending our knowledge of Catholic ars moriendi into Protestant Britain. Mourning and commemoration; the fate of the soul and its post-mortem management; the political uses of the dead and their resting places emerge as further prominent themes in this new research. Providing contrasts and comparisons across different European regions and across Catholic and Protestant regions the collection contributes to and extends the existing literature on this important historiographical theme.

As she is a working analytical psychologist much of the material in her. But she is also a theorist: the human and the academic come together.Many Westerners in the course of their daily lives conceal their fears of death and so they deprive themselves of the possibility of getting into touch with the hidden sources of creativeness.

Dying DeclarationsNotes from a Hospice Volunteer “Death strips away all of the superficial and mundane details of living and leaves behind life’s bare essentials.”Death is inevitable in life. It knows no boundaries. It knows no skin color no financial or social standing. It knows nothing but itself. The paradox of Dying Declarations: Notes from a Hospice Volunteer is in its warm affirmation of life through the ’dying declarations’ of patients who are peering into the cold face of death. The author reveals personal experiences about life death and the courage to strip away the unimportant aspects of life to make way for a clearer understanding on just what is truly important. Simple moving stories invigorate and spark insights—while discussing all aspects of hospice volunteering.“By facing death on a regular basis one can no longer maintain a tight grip on the masks games and trivialities that one uses to hide from truth. The person who looks death in the eye becomes more honest grateful compassionate and humble.” In Dying Declarations: Notes from a Hospice Volunteer the author shares his experiences and the lessons he learned from the dying while working as a hospice volunteer. The stories rather than being sad and depressing present the author’s hospice experience as being some of the most personally uplifting and enriching experiences of his life. In Dying Declarations: Notes from a Hospice Volunteer you will learn: about training for hospice work why hospice volunteers are at times more beneficial to the well-being of dying patients than family clergy or medical personnel the three basic tasks for a hospice volunteer how children and dogs can be beneficial for patients the impact that a dying patient can have on the life of a hospice volunteer words of wisdom about living life directly from hospice patientsDying Declarations: Notes from a Hospice Volunteer will inspire and enlighten hospice volunteers nurses physicians clergy social workers or anyone who works for hospice or provides end-of-life care.

Dying in Old AgeU.S. Practice and Policy Three-quarters of deaths in the U.S. today occur to people over the age of 65 following chronic illness. This new experience of "predictable death" has important consequences for the ways in which societies structure their health care systems laws and labor markets. Dying in Old Age: U.S. Practice and Policy applies a sociological lens to the end of life exploring how macrosocial systems and social inequalities interact to affect individual experiences of death in the United States. Using data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study and Pew Research Center Survey of Aging and Longevity this book argues that predictable death influences the entire life course and works to generate greater social disparities. The volume is divided into sections exploring demography the circumstances of dying people and public policy affecting dying people and their families. In exploring these interconnected factors the author also proposes means of making "bad death" an avoidable event. As one of the first books to explore the social consequences of end of life practice Dying in Old Age will be of great interest to graduate and advanced undergraduate students in sociology social work and public health as well as scholars and policymakers in these areas.

Dying to be MenPsychosocial Environmental and Biobehavioral Directions in Promoting the Health of Men and Boys Masculinity has a powerful effect on the health of men and boys. Indeed many of the behaviors they use to "be men" actually increase their risk of disease injury and death. In this book Dr. Will Courtenay an internationally recognized expert on men’s health provides a foundation for understanding this troubling reality. With a comprehensive review of data and literature he identifies specific gender differences in the health-related attitudes beliefs and behaviors of men and boys and the health consequences of these differences. He then describes the powerful social environmental institutional and cultural influences that encourage their unhealthy behaviors and constrain their adoption of healthier ones. In the book’s third section he more closely examines the health needs of specific populations of men such as ethnic-minority men rural men men in college and men in prisons. Courtenay also provides four empirical studies conducted with multidisciplinary colleagues that examine the associations between masculinity and men and boys’ health beliefs and practices. Finally he provides specific strategies and an evidence-based practice guideline for working with men in a variety of settings as well as a look to the future of men’s health. Medical professionals social workers public health professionals school psychologists college health professionals mental health practitioners academics and researchers from a broad array of disciplines and anyone interested in this topic will find it to be an extensively researched and accessible volume.

Dynamic Capabilities Between Firm Organisation and Local Systems of Production Changes in technology and demand require firms to learn how to continuously reshape unique and non-imitable resources and competences. A firm’s capacity to achieve this is captured by the concept of dynamic capabilities. This book offers an analysis of how firms manage to reconfigure their pool of idiosyncratic resources skills and competencies to deal with the highly turbulent environments in which they are embedded thus tackling the issue of how dynamic capabilities must be defined and conceptualized. This book brings together several contributions aimed at showing how firms’ differential exploitation of their dynamic capabilities comes to be highly dependent on the role of socio-territorial entities and on the institutional set up. Thus different formal and informal types of organization are observed at different levels of analysis. In so doing the book aims at conveying a transversal perspective to the analysis of firms’ dynamics calling for a multidisciplinary and multilayer approach.

Dynamic CartographyBody Architecture and Performative Space Dynamic Cartography analyses the works of Rudolf Laban Lawrence Halprin Anne Bogart Adolphe Appia Cedric Price Joan Littlewood and Hélio Oiticica. They are practitioners who have worked on different areas of enquiry from the existing relations between body and space through movement events or actions but whose work has never been presented from this perspective or in this context. The work and methodologies set up by these practitioners enable us to develop a practice-based exploration. Some of the experiments in the book – Micro-actions I and II â€“ explore the presence of the body in the space. In Kinetography I and II Laban’s dance notation system – kinetography – is used to create these dynamic cartographies. Kinetography III proposes the analysis of an urban public space through the transcription of the body movement contained on it. The series Dynamic Cartographies I II and III analyses movement in geometrically controlled spaces through the Viewpoints techniques by Anne Bogart. Finally Wooosh! and Trellick Tales present two projects in which performance is applied in order to analyse and understand urban and architectural space.

Dynamic Embodiment for Social TheoryI move therefore I am This book presents a series of ontological investigations into an adequate theory of embodiment for the social sciences. Informed by a new realist philosophy of causal powers it seeks to articulate a concept of dynamic embodiment one that positions human body movement and not just ‘the body’ at the heart of theories of social action. It draws together several lines of thinking in contemporary social science: about the human body and its movements; adequate meta-theoretical explanations of agency and causality in human action; relations between moving and talking; skill and the formation of knowledge; metaphor perception and the senses; movement literacy; the constitution of space and place and narrative performance. This is an ontological inquiry that is richly grounded in and supported by anthropological ethnographic evidence. Using the work of Rom Harré Roy Bhaskar Charles Varela and Drid Williams this book applies causal powers theory to a revised ontology of personhood and discusses why the adequate location of human agency is crucial for the social sciences. The breakthrough lies in fact that new realism affords us an account of embodied human agency as a generative causal power that is grounded in our corporeal materiality thereby connecting natural/physical and cultural worlds. Dynamic Embodiment for Social Theory is compelling reading for students and academics of the social sciences especially anthropologists and sociologists of ‘the body’ and those interested in new developments in critical realism.

Dynamic Investment Planning (Routledge Revivals) In dynamic investment planning the time of investment is a significant issue. By simplifying the mathematical notation the author of this book seeks to make control theory a practical tool that can be applied to the problem of timing. The book first published in 1977 begins with an introduction to one important approach to control theory – dynamic programming. Then some of the relevant literature that deals with investment decision-making is reviewed. This is followed by a mathematically formulated planning model. The computational aspects of the model are discussed and a complete computer flow chart is given. The second part of the book gives a thorough application of the theory by means of a detailed case study – the planning of a steel industry. The case study illustrates how a fairly abstract dynamic analysis can be effectively integrated with practical decision-making concerns. This book is ideal for students of economics and business.

Dynamic Prediction in Clinical Survival Analysis There is a huge amount of literature on statistical models for the prediction of survival after diagnosis of a wide range of diseases like cancer cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. Current practice is to use prediction models based on the Cox proportional hazards model and to present those as static models for remaining lifetime after diagnosis or treatment. In contrast Dynamic Prediction in Clinical Survival Analysis focuses on dynamic models for the remaining lifetime at later points in time for instance using landmark models. Designed to be useful to applied statisticians and clinical epidemiologists each chapter in the book has a practical focus on the issues of working with real life data. Chapters conclude with additional material either on the interpretation of the models alternative models or theoretical background. The book consists of four parts: Part I deals with prognostic models for survival data using (clinical) information available at baseline based on the Cox model Part II is about prognostic models for survival data using (clinical) information available at baseline when the proportional hazards assumption of the Cox model is violated Part III is dedicated to the use of time-dependent information in dynamic prediction Part IV explores dynamic prediction models for survival data using genomic data Dynamic Prediction in Clinical Survival Analysis summarizes cutting-edge research on the dynamic use of predictive models with traditional and new approaches. Aimed at applied statisticians who actively analyze clinical data in collaboration with clinicians the analyses of the different data sets throughout the book demonstrate how predictive models can be obtained from proper data sets.

Research and learning across institutions is becoming more team-based crossing disciplines and dependent on increasingly sophisticated and varied data. To provide valuable services in this shifting diverse environment libraries must think about new ways to support research on their campuses including collaborating across library and departmental boundaries.This book is intended to enrich and expand your vision of research support in academic libraries by: Inspiring you to think creatively about new services. Sparking ideas of potential collaborations within and outside the library increasing awareness of functional areas that are potential key partners. Providing specific examples of new services as well as the decision-making and implementation process. Encouraging you to take a broad view of research support rather than thinking of research and instruction services metadata creation and data services etc as separate initiatives. Dynamic Research Support for Academic Libraries provides illustrative examples of emerging models of research support and is contributed to by library practitioners from across the world. The book is divided into three sections: Part I: Training and Infrastructure which describes the role of staff development and library spaces in research support Part II: Data Services and Data Literacy which sets out why the rise of research data services in universities is critical to supporting the current provision of student skills that will help develop them as data-literate citizens. Part III: Research as a Conversation which discusses academic library initiatives to support the dissemination discovery and critical analysis of research. Readership: This is an essential guide for librarians and information professionals involved in supporting research and scholarly communication as well as library administrators and students studying library and information science.

Dynamic Risk FactorsWhat role should they play in the explanation assessment and rehabilitation of offenders? Dynamic risk factors are the children of risk prediction. They were identified to help practitioners assess risk of recidivism and to set treatment targets likely to reduce reoffending. This resulted in the development of intervention programs designed to modify the characteristics of individuals and their environments associated with crime. The predictive nature of their legacy lies in their ability to provide reliable information about the likelihood of future reoffending. In this respect dynamic risk factors are useful complements to static risk factors such as age gender and history of offending and add incremental validity to recidivism prediction. Their treatment utility resides in the fact that practitioners increasingly rely on the identification of dynamic risk factors to direct correctional assessment and interventions. Thus dynamic risk factors have a dual status. They are both useful predictors of reoffending and measures of risk status and potential causes of reoffending capable of serving an explanatory role as well as a predictive one. It is a simple and powerful conceptualization that has streamlined forensic and correctional research program development and the delivery of treatment. Despite its conceptual elegance we believe that the dual conceptualization of dynamic risk factors is problematic and these difficulties spill over into their role in assessment assessment treatment and desistance contexts. In this publication the nature and function of dynamic risk factors are investigated and their strengths and limitations identified. This book was originally published as a special issue of Psychology Crime and Law. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367109561

Dynamic Supply Chain AlignmentA New Business Model for Peak Performance in Enterprise Supply Chains Across All Geographies Just like the world financial system but for different reasons 21st-century corporations need a new business model for their enterprise supply chains. The old conventions no longer work in this new world of volatile and increasingly unpredictable demand and supply. The enterprise needs to become more 'connected' to its own parts as well as its partners up and down the chains it participates in. So too we need to embrace new ways of looking at customers to gain deeper more insightful impressions of what they are telling us about the way they want to buy our products and services. Finally these signals need converting into corresponding action driven by the people in the business leaders and staff alike who are aligned to their customers' wishes. This is the world of dynamic supply chain alignment where increasingly supply chains are the business. In the follow-up to his hugely successful Strategic Supply Chain Alignment John Gattorna's Dynamic Supply Chain Alignment explores how to create and sustain multiple supply chains with a level of flexibility and responsiveness that allow you to respond to opportunities and threats; at the same time aligning with your suppliers your partners and your customers. When more executives get to this stage of development the profits will flow more readily and sustainability of performance will not be the same issue it is today. The way forward is right there in front of us; but says John Gattorna we must throw off old ways and embrace the new. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315578316

Dynamic Treatment RegimesStatistical Methods for Precision Medicine Dynamic Treatment Regimes: Statistical Methods for Precision Medicine provides a comprehensive introduction to statistical methodology for the evaluation and discovery of dynamic treatment regimes from data. Researchers and graduate students in statistics data science and related quantitative disciplines with a background in probability and statistical inference and popular statistical modeling techniques will be prepared for further study of this rapidly evolving field. A dynamic treatment regime is a set of sequential decision rules each corresponding to a key decision point in a disease or disorder process where each rule takes as input patient information and returns the treatment option he or she should receive. Thus a treatment regime formalizes how a clinician synthesizes patient information and selects treatments in practice. Treatment regimes are of obvious relevance to precision medicine which involves tailoring treatment selection to patient characteristics in an evidence-based way. Of critical importance to precision medicine is estimation of an optimal treatment regime one that if used to select treatments for the patient population would lead to the most beneficial outcome on average. Key methods for estimation of an optimal treatment regime from data are motivated and described in detail. A dedicated companion website presents full accounts of application of the methods using a comprehensive R package developed by the authors.

Dynamical Systems for Biological ModelingAn Introduction Dynamical Systems for Biological Modeling: An Introduction prepares both biology and mathematics students with the understanding and techniques necessary to undertake basic modeling of biological systems. It achieves this through the development and analysis of dynamical systems. The approach emphasizes qualitative ideas rather than explicit computations. Some technical details are necessary but a qualitative approach emphasizing ideas is essential for understanding. The modeling approach helps students focus on essentials rather than extensive mathematical details which is helpful for students whose primary interests are in sciences other than mathematics need or want. The book discusses a variety of biological modeling topics including population biology epidemiology immunology intraspecies competition harvesting predator-prey systems structured populations and more. The authors also include examples of problems with solutions and some exercises which follow the examples quite closely. In addition problems are included which go beyond the examples both in mathematical analysis and in the development of mathematical models for biological problems in order to encourage deeper understanding and an eagerness to use mathematics in learning about biology.

Dynamical Systems-Based Soil Mechanics This book is a short yet rigorous course on a new paradigm in soil mechanics one that holds that soil deformation occurs as a simple friction-based Poisson process in which soil particles move to their final position at random shear strains. It originates from work by Casagrande’s soil mechanics group at Harvard University that found that an aggregate of soil particles when sheared reaches a "steady-state" condition a finding in line with the thermodynamics of dissipative systems. The book unpacks this new paradigm as it applies to soils. The theory explains fundamental ubiquitous soil behaviors and relationships used in soils engineering daily thousands of times across the world but whose material bases so far have been unknown. These include for example why for one-dimensional consolidation the e-log σ line is linear and why Cα/Cc is a constant for a given soil. The subtext of the book is that with this paradigm the scientific method of trying to falsify hypotheses fully drives advances in the field i.e. that soil mechanics now strictly qualifies as a science that in turn informs geotechnical engineering. The audience for the book is senior undergraduates graduate students academics and researchers as well as industry professionals particularly geotechnical engineers. It will also be useful to structural engineers highway engineers military engineers persons in the construction industry as well as planetary scientists. Because its fundamental findings hold for any mass of particles like soils the theory applies not just to soils but also to powders grains etc. so long as these are under pseudo-static (no inertial effects) conditions.

Dynamical SystemsDifferential Equations Maps and Chaotic Behaviour This text discusses the qualitative properties of dynamical systems including both differential equations and maps. The approach taken relies heavily on examples (supported by extensive exercises hints to solutions and diagrams) to develop the material including a treatment of chaotic behavior.The unprecedented popular interest shown in recent years in the chaotic behavior of discrete dynamic systems including such topics as chaos and fractals has had its impact on the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. However there has until now been no text which sets out this developing area of mathematics within the context of standard teaching of ordinary differential equations.Applications in physics engineering and geology are considered and introductions to fractal imaging and cellular automata are given.

Dynamics and Bioavailability of Heavy Metals in the Rootzone Concerns regarding heavy metal contamination in terrestrial ecosystems have prompted increasing efforts on limiting their bioavailability in the root zone. The complexity of the hydrologic system gives rise to the need for understanding the fate and transport of trace elements in the soil-water-plant environment. Dynamics and Bioavailability of Heavy Metals in the Rootzone provides a multidisciplinary approach with emphasis on geohydrology plant and soil science and environmental chemistry. The primary focus of this book is on different approaches that describe the dynamics of heavy metals in the soil system. These approaches are key to providing direct information on the concentration of heavy metals and hence on their transport toxicity and bioavailability. The book includes chapters covering equilibrium and kinetic models of heavy metal interactions as well as non-equilibrium transport models. It also discusses chemical processes controlling soil solution concentrations and modeling of heavy metals adsorption. Addressing the biological component of heavy metal dynamics this work examines rhizosphere microorganisms and phytoremediation. Colloid-associated transport which can result in groundwater contamination is discussed in relation to reclaimed mine sites. The authors also present an overview of recent advancements in the biogeochemistry of trace elements and their environmental implications. Additional chapters include examination of various natural environments including runoff waters at the watershed scale heavy metal transformation in wetlands dynamics of trace metals in frequently flooded soils and effects on crops in biosolid-amended soils. Reliable assessment of potential risks resulting from the transport of trace elements in the soil environment requires the examination of complex chemical and biological interactions due to the heterogeneous nature of soils. This text describes the current state of the art in this field and explores innovative experimental and theoretical/modeling approaches that will enhance this knowledge. The book provides a coherent presentation of recent advances in techniques modeling and dynamics and bioavailability of heavy metals in the root zone.

Dynamics and indeterminism in Developmental and Social Processes One of the most profound insights of the dynamic systems perspective is that new structures resulting from the developmental process do not need to be planned in advance nor is it necessary to have these structures represented in genetic or neurological templates prior to their emergence. Rather new structures can emerge as components of the individual and the environment self-organize; that is as they mutually constrain each other's actions new patterns and structures may arise. This theoretical possibility brings into developmental theory the important concept of indeterminism--the possibility that developmental outcomes may not be predictable in any simple linear causal way from their antecedents. This is the first book to take a critical and serious look at the role of indeterminism in psychological and behavioral development. * What is the source of this indeterminism? * What is its role in developmental change? * Is it merely the result of incomplete observational data or error in measurement? It reviews the concepts of indeterminism and determinism in their historical philosophical and theoretical perspectives--particularly in relation to dynamic systems thinking--and applies these general ideas to systems of nonverbal communication. Stressing the indeterminacy inherent to symbols and meaning making in social systems several chapters address the issue of indeterminism from metaphorical modeling and narrative perspectives. Others discuss those indeterministic processes within the individual related to emotional social and cognitive development. Media > Books > E-books Psychology Press 9781315806211

Dynamics in Education PoliticsUnderstanding and explaining the Finnish case Dynamics in Education Politics: Understanding and Explaining the Finnish Case introduces a new theoretical framework characterised as Comparative Analytics of Dynamics in Education Politics (CADEP). Albeit the topicality of comparative research is obvious in the current era of global large-scale assessment with its concomitant media visibility and political effects comparative education is still suffering from certain methodological deficits and is in need of robust theorisation. Focusing on relational dynamics between policy threads actors and institutions in education politics CADEP seriously considers the phenomena of complexity contingency and trans-nationality in late-modern societies. In this book CADEP is applied and validated in analysing the "Finnish Educational Miracle" that has been attracting attention in the educational world ever since they rocketed to fame following the PISA studies during the 2000s. This book will open up opportunities for mutual understanding and learning rather than just celebrating the exceptional circumstances or sustainable leadership. Areas covered include: The analytics of dynamics in education politics The dynamics of policy making and governance The dynamics of educational family strategies The dynamics of classroom culture It is vital for humankind to be able to learn from each other’s successes and failures and this applies in education too. This book is thus a valuable read for anyone interested in the education system and wanting to shape the learning environment. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415812573

Dynamics in Organic Matter Processing Ecosystem Metabolism and Tropic Sources for Consumers in the Mara River Kenya To properly conserve restore and manage riverine ecosystems and the services they provide it is pertinent to understand their functional dynamics. Growing human populations and high dependency on natural resources in developing countries have exerted pressure on land and water resources. However there is a major knowledge gap concerning the influence of human activities on the functioning of tropical rivers in terms of organic matter processing and energy sources supporting riverine consumers.This thesis explores the functioning of tropical upland streams and savanna rivers by assessing the spatial and temporal dynamics in organic processing under different land-use and discharge conditions and the resultant influence on energy sources for riverine consumers. This thesis contributes to the theories of river functioning and has improved understanding of the functioning of African tropical streams by identifying a diverse macroinvertebrate shredder guild and determining its role in organic matter processing. This thesis also shows that large mammalian herbivores enhance terrestrial-aquatic food web linkages in African savanna rivers via the transfer of organic matter. The findings of this researcht are useful for defining future research needs and actions for sustainable management of agriculturally influenced streams and savanna rivers in landscapes witnessing declining wildlife populations and changing land uses.  Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781138028159

Dynamics in the French ConstitutionDecoding French Republican Ideas The promulgation of the Fifth French Republic Constitution in 1958 marked the end of a complex constitutional history that has since 1789 seen more than twenty constitutions and five Republics. Lasting now for more than fifty years the Fifth Republic Constitution has proven to be the right settlement for the French people; a consensual text. However while offering the appearance of stability the Fifth French Republic Constitution has often been reconsidered and changed not least in the year of its fiftieth anniversary when the Constitution was 'modernised'. These dynamics of the Fifth Republic Constitution are neither a recent matter nor entirely the result of the successive constitutional amendments. Instead the history of the Constitution has involved the resurgence of repressed archaic elements from the ancient regime while the social economic and environmental contexts have penetrated not only the text itself but more extensively its spirit and behind it the philosophy and our perception of the Republic. In Dynamics in the French Constitution David Marrani questions the foundations of the French Fifth Republic. In using specific themes current and traditional debates contemporary and archaic factors that have enlightened the road of long lasting Republic the book explores some of the changes of the last fifty years and the tensions that are present within the constitutional text. In combining theoretical concepts of constitutional law with key contemporary and historical developments such as the European integration the response to environmental challenges the practice of human rights and the pillars supporting French republicanism this book offers varied and creative tools for a better understanding of the Republic of today.

Dynamics of Change in the European Union Agreements concerning inter-institutional rules in the treaties of the European Union often give rise to reactions and processes of adaptation within the EU institutions. Recent literature on EU legislative politics has increasingly examined decision-making within the EU institutions but has largely overlooked how these internal processes react and adapt to changes in relations between the EU bodies. To fill this gap the authors present a series of empirical studies that examine how shifts in inter-institutional rules and procedures affect intra-institutional politics. They show that the resulting intrainstitutional adaptations may in turn both have distributive consequences and affect the efficiency of the initial inter-institutional reforms. In addition they provide some stepping stones for theory-building on how treaty reforms affect organizational structure and decision-making within the EU institutions by outlining a series of mediating variables that link these two types of change processes. This book was originally published as a special issue of West European Politics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138109575

Dynamics of Change in the Persian GulfPolitical Economy War and Revolution The Persian Gulf has come to represent one of the most strategically significant waterways of the world. In terms of geography geopolitics resources global political economy and regional influence the Gulf is perhaps home to the world’s most significant group of countries. Focusing on the complexities of the interplay between domestic-level changes and region-wide interactions this book presents the reader with the first comprehensive survey of the dynamics of change in this crucial area. Systemic-oriented in its approach the impact of war and revolution on the countries of the sub-region is discussed and the ways in which these factors have shaped the security dilemmas and responses of the Gulf States is also explored. The role of oil is examined in terms of the impact of its income on these states and societies and the manner in which oil has shaped the integration of these states into the global system. Oil has shrunk developmental time in these countries and has accelerated generational shift. At the same time it has created the dialectical relationship which now characterizes the difficult balance between prosperity and instability which is at the heart of the sub-region. Casting new light on the workings of a strategically significant part of the international system this book will be an essential resource for students and scholars of international relations international security and Middle Eastern politics.

Dynamics of Culture This book first published in 1987 is a landmark contribution to macrosociology that extends the tradition of Sorokin Durkheim Marx Weber and other founders of the discipline in new and exciting directions. Using their innovative content analysis methodology to examine American and British political documents the authors show that the long-term dynamics of culture are subject to their own laws and are independent of the actions of 'great men' and other individual actors. This comprehensive volume brings together over two decades of the authors' research on culture indicators. Key findings include the identification of two long-term cultural cycles in the United States and Great Britain: one is related to party realignments the other to long-term economic fluctuations. In addition the authors demonstrate how culture provides the themes that political parties use to interpret economic conditions in their appeal for votes. Other results show that organizational cultures move in opposite directions from those in the culture of the larger society. The book also includes detailed discussions of both the methodology used to analyse text content and related metatheoretical issues in the study of cultural dynamics.

Dynamics of DisasterLessons on Risk Response and Recovery Disasters are the result of complex interactions between social and natural forces acting at multiple scales from the individual and community to the organisational national and international level. Effective disaster planning response and recovery require an understanding of these interacting forces and the role of power knowledge and organizations. This book sheds new light on these dynamics and gives disaster scholars and practitioners new and valuable lessons for management and planning in practice. The authors draw on methods across the social sciences to examine disaster response and recovery as viewed by those in positions of authority and the 'recipients' of operations. These first two sections examine cases from Hurricane Katrina while the third part compares this to other international disasters to draw out general lessons and practical applications for disaster planning in any context. The authors also offer guidance for shaping institutional structures to better meet the needs of communities and residents. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781849711432

Dynamics of DissentTheorizing Movements for Inclusive Futures This book analyses dissent and its manifestations in movements of social and political transformation across communities and cultures. It shows how these movements create ruptures in the structures of power and social hierarchy; expressed through songs slogans poetry and performances. The chapters in the book explore these sites of transgression and the imprint they leave on culture politics beliefs and the collective society – via music and poetry as in the Bhakti movement or through feministic theories born in post-World War Europe. It also explores how these dynamic movements generate alternate spaces within which the self identity and collective purpose take new forms and find new meanings as they travel. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of the humanities literature history sociology politics and culture studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge India 9780367273224

Dynamics of Human ReproductionBiology Biometry Demography Awarded the W. W. Howells Award for the Outstanding Book in Biological Anthropology this volume presents a comprehensive integrated and up-to-date overview of the major physiological and behavioral factors affecting human reproduction. In attempting to identify the most important causes of variation in fertility within and among human populations Wood summarizes data from a wide range of societies. Trained as an anthropologist as well as a demographer he devotes special attention to so-called ""natural fertility"" populations in which modern contraceptives and induced abortion are not used to limit reproductive output. Such an emphasis enables him to study the interaction of biology and behavior with particular clarity.The volume weaves together the physiological demographic and biometric approaches to human fertility in a way that will encourage future interdisciplinary research. Instead of offering a general overview the focus is to answer one question: Why does fertility and the number of live births vary from couple to couple within any particular population and from population to population across the human species as a whole?Topics covered include ovarian function conception and pregnancy intrauterine mortality reproductive maturation and senescence coital frequency and the waiting time to conception marriage patterns and the initiation of reproduction the fertility-reducing effects of breastfeeding the impact of maternal nutrition on reproduction and reproductive seasonality. This unique combination of comprehensive subject matter and an integrated analytical approach makes the book ideally suited both as a graduate-level textbook and as a reference work.

Dynamics of Industrial CapitalismSchumpeter Chandler and the New Economy Co-winner of the 2006 Schumpeter Prize of the International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society. This book explains the shift of the organizational landscape away from vertically integrated firms and towards more specialized entities connected by markets and networks. In doing so it places in a larger theoretical framework the work of Joseph Schumpeter and Alfred Chandler two of the twentieth century's most important analysts of the modern corporation. Weaving together business history economic theory and the history of ideas Langlois - who won the Newcomen Award in 1992 - sorts through the competing understanding of the rise and (relative) eclipse of the multi-unit enterprise. Rather than rejecting the accounts of Schumpeter and Chandler he offers his own nuanced and historically grounded account of the rise and success of the corporation and its subsequent unbundling. Topical and timely Dynamics of Industrial Capitalism is a useful resource for postgraduates and academics interested in the economics of organization business history economic sociology and the history of economic thought as well as to the general reader interested in the place of the corporation in the new economy.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138806221

Dynamics of Knowledge Intensive EntrepreneurshipBusiness Strategy and Public Policy Knowledge intensive entrepreneurship lies at the core of the structural shift necessary for the growth and development of a knowledge based economy yet research reveals that the EU has fewer young leading innovators and Europe’s new firms do not adequately contribute to industrial growth. This is especially true in the high R&D intensive high-tech sectors. This structural malaise undermining Europe’s growth potential is well diagnosed but poorly understood. This volume fills this important gap by exploring new firms that have significant knowledge intensity in their activity and develop and exploit innovative opportunities in diverse sectors. Through an evolutionary and systemic approach to entrepreneurship focusing on knowledge intensive entrepreneurship as both a micro and a macro phenomena and analyzing firms in the context of various socio-economic models the authors explore firms creation and origins around the world their organization strategies and business models as well as the role of innovation systems and institutions in their formation and growth.This comprehensive research text is vital reading for academics researchers and students of high-tech and knowledge intensive entrepreneurship as well as those with an interest in industrial dynamics innovation management and public policy.

Dynamics of Political ViolenceA Process-Oriented Perspective on Radicalization and the Escalation of Political Conflict Dynamics of Political Violence examines how violence emerges and develops from episodes of contentious politics. By considering a wide range of empirical cases such as anarchist movements ethno-nationalist and left-wing militancy in Europe contemporary Islamist violence and insurgencies in South Africa and Latin America this pathbreaking volume of research identifies the forces that shape radicalization and violent escalation. It also contributes to the process-and-mechanism-based models of contentious politics that have been developing over the past decade in both sociology and political science. Chapters of original research emphasize how the processes of radicalization and violence are open-ended interactive and context dependent. They offer detailed empirical accounts as well as comprehensive and systematic analyses of the dynamics leading to violent episodes. Specifically the chapters converge around four dynamic processes that are shown to be especially germane to radicalization and violence: dynamics of movement-state interaction; dynamics of intra-movement competition; dynamics of meaning formation and transformation; and dynamics of diffusion.

Dynamics of Tethered Space Systems During many of the earliest American and Russian space missions experiments were performed using cables to connect people and objects to spacecraft in orbit. These attempts generated considerable information about the formation of tethered systems and basic problems with tether orientation and gravity-gradient stabilization. During the 1970s interest in tethered space systems (TSS) came to the forefront with an international project that involved the hanging of a probe from a low-orbit satellite to collect data on the Earth and its atmosphere. Since that time TSS has grown to become its own area of research. Dynamics of Tethered Space Systems brings together the work of seven leading researchers working at the forefront of TSS. Together they provide a brief yet thorough introduction to TSS. Then combining theory with experimental approaches important to industry they cover the dynamics of the mechanical physical and mathematical modeling approaches involved in tethered satellite deployment. They present several models from the literature focusing on the simplest but most important system: two satellites in orbit around the Earth. Discussion then expands to cover more complex examples. Along the way the authors consider a number of important topics such as energy production resulting from interaction between the system and Earth’s magnetic field and momentum transfer in relation to satellites microgravity laboratories and futuristic applications such as the space elevator. They also look at a number of challenges including those with deployment and energy dissipation. Providing approaches to theoretical models and experimental methods the text includes a wealth of essential equations and detailed analyses of forces acting on tethered objects in motion. It provides both a starting point for further research and the tools needed to apply that research to the applications of tomorrow. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781138117938

Dynamics of the ChemostatA Bifurcation Theory Approach A ubiquitous tool in mathematical biology and chemical engineering the chemostat often produces instabilities that pose safety hazards and adversely affect the optimization of bioreactive systems. Singularity theory and bifurcation diagrams together offer a useful framework for addressing these issues. Based on the authors’ extensive work in this field Dynamics of the Chemostat: A Bifurcation Theory Approach explores the use of bifurcation theory to analyze the static and dynamic behavior of the chemostat. IntroductionThe authors first survey the major work that has been carried out on the stability of continuous bioreactors. They next present the modeling approaches used for bioreactive systems the different kinetic expressions for growth rates and tools such as multiplicity bifurcation and singularity theory for analyzing nonlinear systems. ApplicationThe text moves on to the static and dynamic behavior of the basic unstructured model of the chemostat for constant and variable yield coefficients as well as in the presence of wall attachment. It then covers the dynamics of interacting species including pure and simple microbial competition biodegradation of mixed substrates dynamics of plasmid-bearing and plasmid-free recombinant cultures and dynamics of predator–prey interactions. The authors also examine dynamics of the chemostat with product formation for various growth models provide examples of bifurcation theory for studying the operability and dynamics of continuous bioreactor models and apply elementary concepts of bifurcation theory to analyze the dynamics of a periodically forced bioreactor. Using singularity theory and bifurcation techniques this book presents a cohesive mathematical framework for analyzing and modeling the macro- and microscopic interactions occurring in chemostats. The text includes models that describe the intracellular and operating elements of the bioreactive system. It also explains the mathematical theory behind the models.

Dynamics of the Pictured PageRepresenting the Nation in the "Illustrated London News" Originally published in 1998 Dynamics of the Pictured Page provides a critical study of the world's first regularly illustrated newspaper the Illustrated London News founded by Herbert Ingram in 1842. Focusing on the first decade of this enormously influential weekly this book situates the ILN within the publishing history of periodicals arguing not only for a better understanding of those new modes of production engendered by an illustrated newspaper but also for the need to theorize the relations between engraved images and printed text that constituted the ILN which advertised itself as an unprecedented 'marriage' between art and literature. Through a series of interpretive interventions that focus on categories that would have had especially powerful reverberations for Victorian readers (for example the home the railway the public funeral and serialized literature) this book traces the newspaper's complex strategies of appeal to a middle-class English readership. This book will appeal to students of nineteenth-century literature and history (especially those with an interest in publishing history and the history of the press) as well as to Victorian studies scholars.

Dynamics of Third-Order Rational Difference Equations with Open Problems and Conjectures Extending and generalizing the results of rational equations Dynamics of Third Order Rational Difference Equations with Open Problems and Conjectures focuses on the boundedness nature of solutions the global stability of equilibrium points the periodic character of solutions and the convergence to periodic solutions including their periodic trichotomies. The book also provides numerous thought-provoking open problems and conjectures on the boundedness character global stability and periodic behavior of solutions of rational difference equations. After introducing several basic definitions and general results the authors examine 135 special cases of rational difference equations that have only bounded solutions and the equations that have unbounded solutions in some range of their parameters. They then explore the seven known nonlinear periodic trichotomies of third order rational difference equations. The main part of the book presents the known results of each of the 225 special cases of third order rational difference equations. In addition the appendices supply tables that feature important information on these cases as well as on the boundedness character of all fourth order rational difference equations. A Framework for Future Research The theory and techniques developed in this book to understand the dynamics of rational difference equations will be useful in analyzing the equations in any mathematical model that involves difference equations. Moreover the stimulating conjectures will promote future investigations in this fascinating yet surprisingly little known area of research. Media > Books > Print Books Chapman & Hall 9780367388294

Dynamics of Transformation Elite Change and New Social MobilizationEgypt Libya Tunisia and Yemen The political transformations initiated by the so-called Arab Spring in Egypt Libya Tunisia and Yemen have been marked by strong political contention continued social mobilization and albeit to different degrees weak central state institutions. This book proposes that rather than agreed roadmaps of institutional change (e.g. elections drawing up new constitutions) and centrally crafted transition processes it has been the competition of key political actors for resources of political power and control that has set the pace and influenced the direction and depth of the transformation processes. Hence the contributions in this volume use an actor-centred approach. Two perspectives are assumed: first key political actors – referring to the "Politically Relevant Elite (PRE)"– are identified and their motivations as well as their strategies and capacities to steer the transformation process. Secondly the authors investigate the capacity of politically "Mobilized Publics" to exert influence on agenda setting and decision making ask to what extent popular and social movements have emerged as political actors in their own right and to what extent such forms of bottom-up participation have constituted a fundamental change to the political culture of these countries. Both avenues of inquiry analyze how the elites are constrained by continued social mobilization how they engage with mobilized publics to promote their own agendas and whether the extended scope of popular participation contributes to the legitimacy and stability of the emerging political orders or causes disruption fragmentation and conflict. This book was previously published as a special issue of Mediterranean Politics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367142964

Dynastic Identity in Early Modern EuropeRulers Aristocrats and the Formation of Identities Aristocratic dynasties have long been regarded as fundamental to the development of early modern society and government. Yet recent work by political historians has increasingly questioned the dominant role of ruling families in state formation underlining instead the continued importance and independence of individuals. In order to take a fresh look at the subject this volume provides a broad discussion on the formation of dynastic identities in relationship to the lineage’s own history other families within the social elite and the ruling dynasty. Individual chapters consider the dynastic identity of a wide range of European aristocratic families including the CroÃs Arenbergs and Nassaus from the Netherlands; the Guises-Lorraine of France; the Sandoval-Lerma in Spain; the Farnese in Italy; together with other lineages from Ireland Sweden and the Austrian Habsburg monarchy. Tied in with this broad international focus the volume addressed a variety of related themes including the expression of ambitions and aspirations through family history; the social and cultural means employed to enhance status; the legal religious and political attitude toward sovereigns; the role of women in the formation and reproduction of (composite) dynastic identities; and the transition of aristocratic dynasties to royal dynasties. In so doing the collection provides a platform for looking again at dynastic identity in early modern Europe and reveals how it was a compound of political religious social cultural historical and individual attitudes.

Dynastic Marriages 1612/1615A Celebration of the Habsburg and Bourbon Unions The union of the two royal houses - the Habsburgs and the Bourbons - in the early seventeenth century illustrates the extent to which marriage was a tool of government in Renaissance Europe and festivals a manifestation of power and cultural superiority. With contributions from scholars representing a range of disciplines this volume provides an all-round view of the sequence of festivals and events surrounding the dynastic marriages which were agreed upon in 1612 but not celebrated until 1615 owing to the constant interruption of festivities by protestant uprisings. The occasion inspired an extraordinary range of records from exchanges of political pamphlets descriptions of festivities visual materials the music of songs and ballets and the impressions of witnesses and participants. The study of these remarkable sources shows how a team of scholars from diverse disciplines can bring into focus again the creative genius of artists: painters architects and costume designers musicians and poets experts in equestrianism in pyrotechnics and in the use of symbolic languages. Their artistic efforts were staged against a background of intense political diplomacy and continuing civil strife; and yet the determination of Marie de Médicis and her advisers and of the Duke of Lerma brought to a triumphant conclusion negotiations and spectacular commemorations whose legacy was to inform festival art throughout European courts for decades. In addition to printed and manuscript sources the volume identifies ways of giving future researchers access to festival texts and studies through digitization making the book both an in-depth analysis of a particular occasion and a blueprint for future engagement with digital festival resources.

Dynasty and PietyArchduke Albert (1598-1621) and Habsburg Political Culture in an Age of Religious Wars The youngest son of Emperor Maximilian II and nephew of Philip II of Spain Archduke Albert (1559-1621) was originally destined for the church. However dynastic imperatives decided otherwise and in 1598 upon his marriage to Philip's daughter the Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia he found himself ruler of the Habsburg Netherlands one of the most dynamic yet politically unstable territories in early-modern Europe. Through an investigation of Albert's reign this book offers a new and fuller understanding of international events of the time and the Habsburg role in them. Drawing on a wide range of archival and visual material the resulting study of Habsburg political culture demonstrates the large degree of autonomy enjoyed by the archducal regime which allowed Albert and his entourage to exert a decisive influence on several crucial events: preparing the ground for the Anglo-Spanish peace of 1604 by the immediate recognition of King James clearing the way for the Twelve Years' Truce by conditionally accepting the independence of the United Provinces reasserting Habsburg influence in the Rhineland by the armed intervention of 1614 and devising the terms of the Oñate Treaty of 1617. In doing so the book shows how they sought to initiate a realistic policy of consolidation benefiting the Spanish Monarchy and the House of Habsburg. Whilst previous work on the subject has tended to concentrate on either the relationship between Spain and the Netherlands or between Spain and the Empire this book offers a far deeper and much more nuanced insight in how the House of Habsburg functioned as a dynasty during these critical years of increasing religious tensions. Based on extensive research in the archives left by the archducal regime and its diplomatic partners or rivals it bridges the gap between the reigns of Philip II and Philip IV and puts research into the period onto a fascinating new basis.

Dyscalculia: from Science to Education Dyscalculia is caused by developmental differences in the structures and patterns of activation in the brain. Affected learners require timely and tailored interventions informed and shaped by neurological findings. In this ground-breaking text Professor Butterworth explains the latest research in the science of dyscalculia in a clear non-technical way. Crucially he shows that dyscalculia is caused by a core deficit in the ability to accurately and swiftly represent the number of objects in a set an ability that underpins learning arithmetic and clearly differentiates dyscalculia from other forms of early mathematical learning difficulties. Butterworth uniquely links research to pedagogical practice to explain how science can be used for the identification of dyscalculia and for the development of strategies to best help affected learners acquire arithmetical competence. The text provides robust interventions that focus on helping pupils to strengthen their ability to process numerosities and link them to the familiar number symbols counting words and digits. It shows that science has clear and specific implications both for assessment and intervention. A landmark publication for the dyscalculia community Dyscalculia: From Science to Education will become an essential resource for teachers professionals parents and sufferers as well as for university courses that include specific learning disabilities.

Dysfunctions of the Welfare State This timely analysis of today's economic realities relates the headlines to the long term causes from which they spring. Why did we have a worldwide financial crisis in 2008? Is stimulus the answer and what are its risks and potential returns? Why are our investments so unprofitable? Why are our citizens struggling to find work? Why do we repeatedly confuse effort with results? The author finds the answers to these questions in the dysfunctions of the welfare state.Economics is the science of the creation and exchange of value but Gross Domestic Product (GDP) confuses value with the creation and exchange of "goods and services." Along the way GDP has become a measure not of value created but of effort expended and of costs incurred. This confusion has become the cornerstone of policy manipulation of "the economy " because it is very easy to incur costs though not so easy to create value. Policymakers are not eager to correct this discrepancy because it is easier to manufacture costs through brute force than to produce results that have real value.This book pins down the major contributors to these distortions in a number of specific areas including education science and engineering hospitals and other medical facilities the public utility transmission grids and in the trade deficit. It also pursues the distortions caused by short-sighted public policy in the capital markets. The book concludes with a discussion of market efficiency and inefficiency leading to the conclusion that policy intervention into the capital markets reduces their capacity to allocate capital productively. The author addresses this broad topic from the unique perspective of someone who has contributed both to the theoretical analysis and to the actual practice of markets.

Dyslexia Reading and the BrainA Sourcebook of Psychological and Biological Research Despite the wealth of literature available on the subject of dyslexia there is little that explores the subject beyond a single theoretical framework. The need for a comprehensive review of the literature by both researchers and practitioners from different fields and theoretical backgrounds is the central motivation behind Dyslexia Reading and the Brain. By combining the existing fragmented and one-sided accounts Alan Beaton has created a sourcebook that provides the much-needed basis for a more integrated and holistic approach to dyslexia.The book is divided into two sections: the first The Cognitive Context outlines the theoretical context of normal reading development and introduces the role of phonological awareness and the relation between dyslexia and IQ. Section two The Biological Context provides an explanation of the genetic background as well as exploring hormonal theories and the visual aspects of dyslexia. By including both historical theories and some of the most recent developments Dyslexia Reading and the Brain succeeds in presenting the reader with a balanced and unbiased overview of the current thinking and achieves a unique breadth and depth of coverage. The comprehensive coverage and impartial approach mean that this sourcebook will prove an invaluable resource for anyone involved in study research or practice in the fields of reading and dyslexia.

Dyslexia and Gender BiasA Critical Review Providing an overview of the various understandings and approaches taken to dyslexia over the last 100 years this text considers why men have traditionally taken the lead in dyslexia theory and research whilst women have often been confined to practice. Exploring how and why particular pathways in dyslexia theory research and practice were historically pursued whilst other potentially successful methods were not Montgomery argues that gender bias has played a significant and often obstructive role in the development of our identification and understanding of dyslexia. Explaining why women and girls have often been under-represented in dyslexia clinics and in research chapters trace the contributions made by dyslexia pioneers analyse current problems within education and research systems and document widespread patterns of misogyny and gender discrimination in the field. Montgomery links dyslexia history current research paradigms and transgender experiences to ask whether assumed male superiority has disadvantaged dyslexic learners and whether it will continue to do so. In the process she presents a new trajectory for research and practice. A timely exploration of the impacts of gender discrimination on research and education this text provides essential insight into the subtle impacts of sexism on dyslexic learners.

Dyspraxia and its Management Dyspraxia is a disorder of voluntary purposeful learned movement and is one of the most common sequelae of stroke head-injury neoplasm and abnormal ageing. It is also a major complicating factor in the assessment and treatment of acquired language visual-spatial and other movement disorders. Dyspraxics are found not only in specialist neurological units but also in rehabilitation centres general medical and surgical wards geriatric units and in the community. Despite this there was little systematic discussion of dyspraxia in major texts on stroke head injury rehabilitation or movement disorders at the time. Originally published in 1986 one aim of this book was to correct the imbalance in the attention paid to the disorder. The emphasis of the book is practical dealing with the recognition and assessment of dyspraxic dysfunction and guidelines and issues in its remediation. Theoretical issues are covered in relation to their bearing on clinical management. It was the standard textbook on the topic for many years and directly relevant at the time to clinicians in the fields of clinical psychology occupational therapy and physiotherapy speech therapy neurology and geriatrics.

Dystopia and EconomicsA Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies Government collapsing? Zombies hunting you down? Everyone you know killed by a global epidemic? Not to worry! Economics holds the keys to survival. Often known as "the dismal science" it is particularly equipped to reveal order in what seems like chaos. Economists observe human behaviour: what leads us to take action and the subsequent consequences. However the choices made by individuals are not made in isolation; they influence and are influenced by the actions of others. A set of rules even if unwritten guides human behaviour. Foundational economic principles stand firmly in place even when society is breaking down and an understanding of these basic tenets of societies is essential to surviving the end of the world as we know it. In this book the authors draw from popular culture to show economic principles at work in the dystopian societies depicted in The Walking Dead Mad Max: Fury Road The Hunger Games Divergent A Clockwork Orange and Last Man on Earth. In each society its members face resource and social constraints that incentivize particular behaviours and lead to predictable outcomes. How does human behaviour change when resources are severely limited the legal system breaks down or individual freedom is stifled? The examples presented here shed an eerie light on the principles that guide our actions every day. Dystopia and Economics: A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies provides a user-friendly introduction to economics suitable for a general audience as well as devoted students of the discipline.

He was a serious writer who was popular a political writer who was a stylist an original writer who was highly eclectic and an historical writer who invented the past. In this study originally published in 1985 Paul Levine follows Doctorow’s progress as a novelist and traces the development of certain themes that recur in his work including the relationships between history and imagination between high and popular culture and between political content and radical style. He also examines Doctorow’s notion of the writer as witness and actor and of writing as a subversive activity two concerns which link him with important writers in Europe and Latin America. The book should provide a valuable and comprehensive coverage of his work to date including the films of Ragtime and The Book of Daniel. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367344856

E.E. Slutsky as Economist and MathematicianCrossing the Limits of Knowledge E.E. Slutsky is perhaps the Russian/Ukrainian economist most quoted by mainstream economists today. This is the first research monograph to examine the life and work of the internationally-renowned economist and mathematician. It does so from both a ‘history of economics’ perspective and a ‘history of science’ perspective bringing these two strands together in order to demonstrate Slutsky’s enduring legacy as an innovative researcher and an influential intellectual. It also presents some of Slutsky’s lesser-known (and hitherto-unavailable) works in English translation. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138807808

E.H. Weber On The Tactile Senses This is a revised edition of "E.H. Weber: The Sense of Touch". The title has been broadened to reflect the fact that Weber explored all the skin senses - and indeed the muscle sense and that mysterious entity "the common feeling". The introduction has been expanded to include further information on Weber's life and times and on recent research relevant to Weber's own work. The translations of Weber's main works of psychological interest "De Tactu" and "Der Tastsinn und das Gemeingefuehl" contain only minor changes but the footnotes have been updated.; The reader will find here much more than those topics for which Weber is best known - the two-point threshold experiments on weight discrimination and a statement of what is now called Weber's Law. Weber also remarked on many aspects of sensory psychology - on left-right asymmetry in sensitivity on visual resolution the binocular combination of colours the moon illusion on summation inhibition and adaptation in sensory systems on the difference between simultaneous and successive presentations on selective attention the externalization of sensations and the difference between sensation and perception.

E.T.A. Hoffmann's Musical Aesthetics Whilst E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) is most widely known as the author of fantastic tales he was also prolific as a music critic productive as a composer and active as a conductor. This book examines Hoffmann's aesthetic thought within the broader context of the history of ideas of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries and explores the relationship between his musical aesthetics and compositional practice. The first three chapters consider his ideas about creativity and aesthetic appreciation in relation to the thought of other German romantic theorists discussing the central tenets of his musical aesthetic - the idea of a 'religion of art' of the composer as a 'genius' and the listener as a 'passive genius'. In particular the relationship between the multifaceted thought of Hoffmann and Friedrich Schleiermacher is explored providing some insight into the way in which diverse intellectual traditions converged in early-nineteenth-century Germany. In the second half of the book Hoffmann's dialectical view of music history and his conception of romantic opera are discussed in relation to his activities as a composer with reference to his instrumental music and his two mature large-scale operas Aurora and Undine. The author also addresses broader issues pertaining to the ideological and historical significance of Hoffmann's musical and literary oeuvre. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138253056

Ea’s Duplicity in the Gilgamesh Flood Story This volume opens up new perspectives on Babylonian and Assyrian literature through the lens of a pivotal passage in the Gilgamesh Flood story. It shows how using a nine-line message where not all was as it seemed the god Ea inveigled humans into building the Ark. 　 The volume argues that Ea used a ‘bitextual’ message: one which can be understood in different ways that sound the same.  His message thus emerges as an ambivalent oracle in the tradition of ‘folktale prophecy’. The argument is supported by interlocking investigations of lexicography divination diet figurines social history and religion. There are also extended discussions of Babylonian word play and ancient literary interpretation. Besides arguing for Ea’s duplicity the book explores its implications – for narrative sophistication in Gilgamesh for audiences and performance of the poem and for the relation of the Gilgamesh Flood story to the versions in Atra-hasÄ«s the Hellenistic historian Berossos and the Biblical Book of Genesis. Ea’s Duplicity in the Gilgamesh Flood Story will interest Assyriologists Hebrew Bible scholars and Classicists but also students and researchers in all areas concerned with Gilgamesh word-play oracles and traditions about the Flood.

Earls Colne's Early Modern Landscapes The Essex village of Earls Colne boasts one of the most comprehensive collections of historical documents in Britain and has been the subject of an intensive and ongoing research project to collate and computerise the surviving records. As such Earls Colne is undoubtedly one of the most studied parishes in England. Yet whilst much is now known about the village and its inhabitants little work has been done on the social relationships that bound the community together within its mental and physical landscape. As such scholars will welcome Dr MacKinnon’s investigation into the social political and cultural world of early modern England as represented by Earls Colne. The book provides a fresh approach to the study of the landscape of a seventeenth-century village by focussing on the relationships between political power and cultural artefacts. It examines how private public and communal spaces within society were generated gendered and governed and how this was recorded and perpetuated in the records names and monuments of the parish and surrounding landscape. Yet whilst the ’elites’ tried to represent a select social landscape through their control of the local records and documents these attempts were always counterbalanced by the less powerful members of the community who occupied and contested these spaces. By reconstructing the dynamics of Earls Colne through a careful reading and cross-referencing of the surviving documents buildings and place names this book offers a fascinating insight into how the sights and sounds of early modern society were imbued with the social relations of parish politics. As well as deepening our understanding of Earls Colne itself the book offers historians the potential to revisit other local studies from a fresh perspective.

Early Asceticism in IndiaĀjīvikism and Jainism Ājīvikism was once ranked one of the most important religions in India between the 4th and 2nd centuries BCE after Buddhism ‘Brahmanism’ and before Jainism but is now a forgotten Indian religion. However Jainism has remained an integral part of the religious landscape of South Asia despite the common beginnings shared with Ājīvikism. By rediscovering reconstructing and examining the Ājīvikism doctrine its art origins and development this book provides new insight into Ājīvikism and discusses how this information enables us to better understand its impact on Jainism and its role in the development of Indian religion and philosophy. This book explains how why and when Jainism developed its strikingly unique logic and epistemology and what historical and doctrinal factors prompted the ideas which later led to the formulation of the doctrine of multiplexity of reality (anekānta-vāda). It also provides answers to difficult passages of Buddhist Sāmañña-phala-sutta that baffled both Buddhist commentators and modern researchers. Offering clearer perspectives on the origins of Jainism the book will be an invaluable contribution to Jaina Studies Asian Religion and Religious History.

Early Breast CancerFrom Screening to Multidisciplinary Management Third Edition First Prize BMA Medical Book Awards 2013Breast cancers are now detected earlier and are thus more likely to be confined to the breast itself and regional nodes. Many of these tumours will have minimal proclivity for hematogenous dissemination and formation of micrometastases. On the other hand some patients have micrometastatic diseases which can remain dormant and be activated many years after initial diagnosis. Early Breast Cancer: From Screening to Multidisciplinary Management discusses the principles and practice of breast cancer management with respect to both screen-detected and symptomatic disease. It provides readers with sound understanding and critical insight into many aspects of the disease from epidemiology genetics and screening to pathology diagnosis treatment and prevention. This latest edition continues the general ethos of the second edition with an emphasis on early screening and continued development of the multidisciplinary team.

Early Buddhist MeditationThe Four Jhanas as the Actualization of Insight This book offers a new interpretation of the relationship between 'insight practice' (satipatthana) and the attainment of the four jhànas (i.e. right samàdhi) a key problem in the study of Buddhist meditation. The author challenges the traditional Buddhist understanding of the four jhànas as states of absorption and shows how these states are the actualization and embodiment of insight (vipassanà). It proposes that the four jhànas and what we call 'vipassanà' are integral dimensions of a single process that leads to awakening. Current literature on the phenomenology of the four jhànas and their relationship with the 'practice of insight' has mostly repeated traditional Theravàda interpretations. No one to date has offered a comprehensive analysis of the fourfold jhàna model independently from traditional interpretations. This book offers such an analysis. It presents a model which speaks in the Nikàyas' distinct voice. It demonstrates that the distinction between the 'practice of serenity' (samatha-bhàvanà) and the 'practice of insight' (vipassanà-bhàvanà) – a fundamental distinction in Buddhist meditation theory – is not applicable to early Buddhist understanding of the meditative path. It seeks to show that the common interpretation of the jhànas as 'altered states of consciousness' absorptions that do not reveal anything about the nature of phenomena is incompatible with the teachings of the Pàli Nikàyas. By carefully analyzing the descriptions of the four jhànas in the early Buddhist texts in Pàli their contexts associations and meanings within the conceptual framework of early Buddhism the relationship between this central element in the Buddhist path and 'insight meditation' becomes revealed in all its power. Early Buddhist Meditation will be of interest to scholars of Buddhist studies Asian philosophies and religions as well as Buddhist practitioners with a serious interest in the process of insight meditation.

Early Celtic ArtFrom Its Origins to Its Aftermath For many perhaps most the title Early Celtic Art summons up images of Early Christian stone crosses in Ireland Scotland Wales or Cornwall; of Glendalough lona or Tintagel; of the Ardagh Chalice or the Monymusk Reliquary; of the great illuminated gospels of Durrow or Lindisfame. But as Stuart Piggott notes the consummate works of art produced under the aegis of the early churches in Britain or Ireland in regions Celtic by tradition or language have an ancestry behind them only partly Celtic.One strain in an eclectic style was borrowed from the ornament of the northern Germanic world the classical Mediterranean and even the Eastern churches. Early Celtic art originating in the fifth century b.c. in Central Europe was already seven or eight centuries old when it was last traced in the pagan prehistoric world and the transmission of some of its modes and motifs over a further span of centuries into the Christian Middle Ages was an even later phenomenon. This volume presents the art of the prehistoric Celtic peoples the first great contribution of the barbarians to European arts.It is an art produced in circumstances that the classical world and contemporary societiesunhesitatingly recognize as uncivilized. Its appearance it has been said by N. K. Sandars in Prehistoric Art in Europe: "is perhaps one of the oddest and most unlikely things to have come out of a barbarian continent. Its peculiar refinement delicacy and equilibrium are not altogether what one would expect of men who though courageous and not without honor even in the records of their enemies were also savage cruel and often disgusting; for the archaeological refuse as well as the reports of Classical antiquity agree in this verdict."This book comprises the first major exhibition of Early Celtic Art from its origins and beginnings to its aftermath and was assembled by Stuart Piggott who taught later European prehistory to Honors students in Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh where he held the Abercromy Chair. He retired from the Chair in 1977 and in 1983 he received the gold medal of the Society of Antiquaries of London as well as the Grahame Clark medal of the British Academy in 1992. Through his knowledge of the subject he has made accessible an obscure but fascinating period of European culture. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138522503

Early Child CareThe New Perspectives Early Child Care is about the very young child--infant toddler and early preschool--in today's world. It grew out of a series of conferences sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health the Children's Hospital of Washington D.C. and the Committee on Day Care of the Maternal and Child Health Section of the American Public Health Association. Each of the sponsoring agencies represents a focal point for pressures from groups concerned with improving the care of the young child. Faced with common concern the three sponsoring agencies brought together a number of experts in the field to pool information and experience and to review research findings as a basis for sound planning for children less than three years of age.The authors included in Early Child Care are pioneers in the true sense of the word.. Until recently no one has tried to specify exactly what goes on between mother and her baby who does what to whom in the exchange and what happens if instead of one mother there is no mother an alternating day and night mother or many different substitutes for the mother. Until all that transpires between the mother and her baby in the best of circumstances is comprehended in sufficient detail that it can be confidently reproduced it is impossible to make alternative plans. Early Child Care is an effort to identify what is known about young children and apply it to day-by-day programming.Millions of mothers give their babies a good start providing devoted and painstaking care. Such mothers somehow know when a child needs to be let alone--and when to respond. This volume attempts to define how such instincts can be reproduced in other settings.

Early Child Development in the French TraditionContributions From Current Research This volume shares significant contemporary "Francophone" contributions to developmental psychology outside geographic and intellectual borders of French-speaking countries. Except for the spread of Piagetian theory after World War II into Anglophone psychology these new publications have not become so well known worldwide as progress in Francophone developmental psychology warrants. However the work of a new generation of developmental theorists and experimentalists continues to shape important and original lines of thinking and research in France Canada and in other French-speaking countries. This work also contributes uniquely to issues such as sensori-motor development perception language acquisition social interaction and the growth and induction of cognitive mechanisms. Scientific concepts are not only embedded in a paradigm but also in a culture and a language. Instead of writing about Francophone developmental psychology from "outside " this volume brings together original English-language contributions written by researchers working in different Francophone countries. Chapters summarize and interpret research on a given topic making explicit the context of philosophical and theoretical traditions in which the empirical advances are embedded. Original essays are accompanied by editorial commentaries from eminent scientists working on the same topics in other parts of the world -- topics that are closely related to Francophone streams of thought and themes of study. Together these essays fully and faithfully represent modern scientific perspectives toward understanding many facets of mental growth and development of the young child.

Early Childhood and Compulsory EducationReconceptualising the relationship What should be the relationship between early childhood and compulsory education? What can they learn from one another and by working together? The rapid expansion of early childhood education and care means that most children in affluent countries now have several years at pre-school before compulsory education. This raises an important question about the relationship between the two.　 Whilst it’s widely assumed that the former should prepare children for the latter there are alternatives. This book contests the ‘readying for school’ relationship as neither self-evident nor unproblematic; and explores some alternative relationships including a strong and equal partnership and the vision of a meeting place. In this ground-breaking book Professor Peter Moss discusses the issue with leading early childhood figures - from Belgium France Italy New Zealand Norway Sweden and the United States -who bring very different perspectives to this contentious relationship.　 The book starts with an extended essay by Peter Moss to which the other contributors are invited to respond critically as well as offering their own thinking about the relationship between early childhood and compulsory education both their current understandings and suggestions on future directions. Students researchers and academics in the field of early childhood education will find this an insightful and timely text. But so too will their peers in compulsory education since the book time and again raises searching questions about pedagogical purpose and practice in this sector.

Early Childhood Care and Education at the MarginsAfrican Perspectives on Birth to Three The importance of early childhood care and education (ECCE) in the lives of very young children is gaining increasing attention around the globe and yet there is a persistent lack of diverse knowledge perspectives on this critical phase. This stems from dominant Eurocentric framings of early childhood research and related theories. Early Childhood Care and Education at the Margins provides contextual accounts of ECCE in Africa in order to build multiple perspectives and to promote responsive thought and actions. The book is an entry point to knowledge production for birth to three in Africa and responds to the call for the field to be in dialogue with different perspectives that attempt to map concepts debates and contemporary concerns. In this book a group of African authors representing both Anglophone and Francophone Africa provide insider's perspectives on a wide range of geographic cultural and thematic positions. In so doing they show the breadth and depth of ideas on which the ECCE field draws. The chapters in the volume highlight a range of topics including poverty early socialisation local care practices gendered roles and service provision. They open up important points of departure for thinking about ECCE policy practice theory and research. The book presents African perspectives in a globalising world. It is therefore suitable for an international readership. It includes cross-cultural comparisons as well as critiques of dominant discourses which will be of particular interest to academics researchers and postgraduate students active in the field of ECCE childhood studies cultural studies and comparative education.

Early Childhood Education and Care Quality in Europe and the USAIssues of Conceptualization Measurement and Policy This book captures information about early childhood education and care (ECEC) policies and practices in different countries and aims to question the degree to which these countries have managed to meet the needs of children families and the ECEC workforce. The book illustrates how different countries have adapted different strategies focusing on policy when it comes to quality ECEC. The goal of the book is twofold. First and foremost it aims to present key findings and challenges for improving ECEC as a whole. Second it aims to highlight problems and concerns which the field of ECEC faces with respect to delivering high-quality care and education to all children. As neither “ECEC” nor “quality” are universal concepts – but are shaped by social-cultural values as well as national economic and political contexts in which ECEC services are provided – this cross-country volume is extremely relevant for fully understanding issues in the field of ECEC.This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Child Development and Care.

Early Childhood Education for Muslim ChildrenRationales and practices in South Africa Early Childhood Education for Muslim Children foregrounds the marginalised perspective of Muslim children aged three to five and examines how they are cared for and educated in centre-based provision in two provinces in post-apartheid South Africa. Both theological and social science perspectives are carefully interwoven to make sense of the construction of service provision for Muslims as a minority group in a secular democracy. This book uses a qualitative reflexive approach to amplify the voices of mothers managers and teachers as the community of agents who shape priorities for young children in the context of a rapidly transforming society. The research demonstrates that the quest to establish an appropriate care network and a sound educative environment for Muslim children is riddled with complexities struggles and tensions. In the light of changes in the home-based network for early education centre-based provision has become an important infrastructure for Muslim communities seeking one-stop academic and Islamic education. The internal struggles encountered in this form of provision include inequities in access struggles to package an appropriate curriculum and dealing with nurturance specific to the faith and for cultural formations supportive of citizenship. This book calls for critical engagement with issues of religious education in early childhood social cohesion formal systematic teacher education for Muslim teachers curriculum development and parental support. It will contribute not only to the development of early education from an Islamic perspective but will also demonstrate how to expand discourses and practices to deal with diversity and faith development in early years.

Early Childhood Education in the 21st CenturyProceedings of the 4th International Conference on Early Childhood Education (ICECE 2018) Nove Providing a selection of papers presented at ICECE 2018 a biennial conference organised by the Early Childhood Education Program Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The conference’s general theme was "Finding Alternative Approaches Theories Frameworks and Practices of Early Childhood Education in the 21th Century."Distinct from other periods of time the 21st century is characterised by so much knowledge -easy to access but hard to grasp borderless and hyper-connected society mediated by the internet high competitiveness -not only within a country but across countries high mobility and widening economic discrepancy as neoliberalism has strengthened its influence on every sector of human life. The children of today will face many things that have not yet been invented or discovered sometimes beyond expectations. Scholars and teachers of early childhood education need to be aware of these astonishing changes. The way children and childhood are seen cannot stay the same and so does the way children of this century are educated. The conference opened a discussion about finding alternative approaches theories and best practices of early childhood education for a rapidly changing and globalised society.

Early Childhood Education in the United StatesContemporary and Critical Perspectives Early Childhood Education in the United States is rife with contradictions critique and innovation. It is a time when a status quo – characterized by systemic historic discrimination; teacher de-professionalization; 'teaching to the test'; and attacks on funding – is challenged by new technologies new literacies and transformative and critical perspectives and practices that defy assumptions and biases to create cutting-edge diverse instantiations of Early Childhood Education for children families and teachers.This volume based on a special issue of the Early Years journal written in 2016 before the new administration announced its policies aims to generate conversations about developments in Early Childhood Education situated within classist/racist/linguicist and neoliberal contexts and to analyze critically where we are where we might go and what we might do. It is also an opportunity to share counter-narratives to the dominant narratives promulgated by many convinced that narrow destructive norms of appropriate practice standards and accountability as well as the curtailed achievement of children of Color those from low income communities and emergent bilinguals are ‘common sense’. These counter-narratives – some about transformational projects that have generated innovative perspectives and practices and some detailing critical analyses and projects that go beyond to explore issues of power – contest education that disprivileges some children and families while advocating education that is child- and family-centered culturally relevant and sustaining equitable and democratic. Our hope is that this work creates a 'space of dialogue and human action' needed even more urgently today. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Early Years journal.

Early Childhood PedagogiesCreating Spaces for Young Children to Flourish Diverse international perspectives on the ways in which young children’s learning and care may be supported converge in this book. Traversing the field of early childhood education and care from its established philosophical underpinnings to 21st century research policies and practices the contributions to this volume draw together past and present discourses as a basis for shaping future trajectories. In spite of a growing international consensus on the strong influence of early childhood experiences on lifetime outcomes the nineteen chapters reveal contemporary early childhood pedagogy as a collection of spaces characterised by plurality complexity and dissonance. These characteristics signal the importance of recognising early childhood pedagogies: multiple models of practice for the many diverse learning and care contexts that have the capacity to value young children as individuals and enable each to flourish now and throughout their lives. Moreover such characteristics disrupt notions that a single ‘optimal’ early childhood pedagogy is either possible or desirable. This exciting global collection of empirical research reports and discursive papers provides inspiration to spark new reflections fresh debates and innovative endeavours among early childhood students practitioners researchers and policymakers around the world.

Early Christian DressGender Virtue and Authority Early Christian Dress is the first full-length monograph on the subject of dress in early Christianity. It pays attention to the ways in which dress expressed and shaped Christian identity the role dress played in Christians’ rivalries with pagan neighbours and especially to the ways in which notions of gender were culled and revised in the process. Although many scholars have argued that gender in late antiquity was a performed and embodied category few have paid attention to the ways in which dress and physical appearances were implicated in the understanding of femininity and masculinity. This study addresses that gap revealing the amount of sartorial work necessary to secure stable gender categories in the worlds of early Imperial pagans and late ancient Christians. This study analyzes several vigorous discussions and debates that arose over Christian women’s dress. It examines how Christians interpreted their dress—especially the dress of female ascetics—as evidence of Christianity’s advanced morality and piety a morality and piety that was coded "masculine." Yet even Christian leaders who championed ascetic women’s ability to achieve a degree of virility in terms of their virtue and spiritual status were troubled when ascetics’ dress threatened to materially dissolve gender categories difference and hierarchies. In the end the study enables us to gain a broader view of how gender was constructed perceived and contested in early Christianity. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138802254

Early Christian Ritual Life Scholars across many fields have come to realize that ritual is an integral element of human life and a vital aspect of all human societies. Yet this realization has been slow to develop among scholars of early Christianity. Early Christian Ritual Life attempts to counteract the undervaluing of ritual by placing it at the forefront of early Christian life. Rather than treating ritual in isolation or in a fragmentary way this book examines early Christian ritual life as a whole. The authors explore an array of Christian ritual activity employing theory critically and explicitly to make sense of various ritual behaviors and their interconnections. Written by leading experts in their fields this collection is divided into three parts: • Interacting with the Divine • Group Interactions • Contesting and Creating Ritual Protocols. This book is ideal for religious studies students seeking an introduction to the dynamic research areas of ritual studies and early Christian practice.

Early Development and its DisturbancesClinical Conceptual and Empirical Research on ADHD and other Psychopathologies and its Epistemologica In this volume internationally well known experts discuss whether psychoanalysis - with its rich mix of clinical experiences and conceptualizations of early development and symptoms - has something unique to offer through deepening the understanding of children suffering from this and similar developmental disturbances. The contributors consider therapeutic strategies as well as possibilities of early prevention. Surprisingly psychoanalysts have only during the past few years actively engaged in the on-going and very important controversial discussions on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There may be many reasons for the increasing interest in this topic over the past few years - for example the dialogue between psychoanalysis and contemporary neurobiology/brain research which opens a fascinating window on an old problem in European culture: the mind-body problem. This exchange also promises to enlarge the understanding of psychic problems probably connected with some neurobiologically-based pathologies widely assumed to include ADHD.

Early Development and LeadershipBuilding the Next Generation of Leaders Today we often look to our leaders in business government or the social sector to make effective decisions in a complex world. Whether they are asked what steps to take to improve competitiveness in a global economy or to make tough ethical choices well-trained leaders are critical to organizational effectiveness. Although we know much about leadership development for individuals after they take their first job we know relatively little about their earlier experiences that contributed to their interest in leadership or subsequent effectiveness as leaders. This volume brings together researchers who explore leadership at different points before individuals enter the workforce and asks important questions surrounding definitions of leadership behavior necessary leader skills and age-related leader tasks factors contributing to development of leader identity and ways to improve the process of leader development.　 With contributions from well-known leadership researchers such as Robert Sternberg Howard Gardner Bruce Avolio and Susan Komives the volume shows research evidence for factors such as early childhood and youth experiences on leadership development which have implications for the way we understand and train leadership in today’s organizations.　 Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367864835

Countering a tendency in scholarship to overlook unsuccessful encounters it starts from the assumption that failures can prove highly illuminating and provide valuable insights into both the specific shapes and limitations of East Asian and Western imaginations of the Other as well as of the nature of East-West interaction. Interdisciplinary in outlook this collection brings together the perspectives of sinology Japanese and Korean studies historical studies literary studies art history religious studies and performance studies. The subjects discussed are manifold and range from missionary accounts travel reports letters and trade documents to fictional texts as well as material objects (such as tea chinaware or nautical instruments) exchanged between East and West. In order to avoid a Eurocentric perspective the collection balances approaches from the fields of English literature Spanish studies Neo-Latin studies and art history with those of sinology Japanese studies and Korean studies. It includes an introduction mapping out the field of failures in early modern encounters between East Asia and Europe as well as a theoretically minded essay on the lessons of failure and the ethics of cross-cultural understanding.

Early Encounters with Children and AdolescentsBeginning Psychodynamic Therapists’ First Cases Early Encounters with Children and Adolescents is the first training guide to use the works of beginning therapists as its focus. Far too often therapists in training are given the "classics" to read—case histories by the masters in the field which can sometimes leave beginning therapists intimidated or even in despair as to whether they can ever reach that level of proficiency. This book is the first to remediate that situation by providing beginners with role models they can more easily internalize through realistic case histories that reveal the ins and outs of starting in a craft that is never fully mastered. Not only are the cases themselves fascinating but the therapists also refer to the processes they struggled with while treating these patients. Readers will thus have a striking new counterweight to the classics they will still want to read as they progress in the field. Eight beginning clinicians discuss aspects of their clinical process including: issues of transference and countertransference; the role of supervision; doing parent consultations especially when one is not yet a parent; cultural/racial/socioeconomic differences between patient and therapist; and the vulnerability of not understanding for long moments in treatment. Psychodynamic beginners in every discipline will find these case histories compelling heartfelt and inspiring. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138815926

Early English Intercourse with Burma 1587 – 1743 First published in 1922 this volume constitutes the first attempt yet made to trace the story of English intercourse with Burma from its origins in the 16th century to the middle of the 18th framed by the period from the opening to the final years of the Syriam factory. Daniel G.E. Hall sought to fill a gap in the literature for students of British enterprise in the East drawing out the progress of Burma from a commercially unviable backwater to arguably the richest province in resources of the British empire in India.

Early English Performance: Medieval Plays and Robin Hood GamesShifting Paradigms in Early English Drama Studies Covering a period of nearly 40 years’ work by the author this collection of essays in the Shifting Paradigms in Early English Drama Studies series brings the perspective of a Drama academic and practitioner of early English plays to the understanding of how medieval plays and Robin Hood games of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were performed. It explores why where when and how the plays happened who took part and who were the audiences. The insights are informed by a combination of research and the public presentation of surviving texts. The research included in the volume unites the early English experiences of religious and secular performance. This recognition challenges the dominant critical distinction of the past between the two and the consequent privileging of biblical and moral plays over secular entertainments. What further binds rather than separates the two is that the destination of funds raised by the different activities maintained the civic and parochial needs of the institutions upon which the people depended. This collection redefines the inclusive nature and common interests of the purposes that lay behind generically different undertakings. They shared an extraordinary investment of human and financial resources in the anticipation of a profit that was pious and practical. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138370937

Early English Viols: Instruments Makers and Music Winner of the Nicholas Bessaraboff Prize Musical repertory of great importance and quality was performed on viols in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. This is reported by Thomas Mace (1676) who says that ’Your Best Provision’ for playing such music is a chest of old English viols and he names five early English viol makers than which ’there are no Better in the World’. Enlightened scholars and performers (both professional and amateur) who aim to understand and play this music require reliable historical information and need suitable viols but so little is known about the instruments and their makers that we cannot specify appropriate instruments with much precision. Our ignorance cannot be remedied exclusively by the scrutiny or use of surviving antique viols because they are extremely rare they are not accessible to performers and the information they embody is crucially compromised by degradation and alteration. Drawing on a wide variety of evidence including the surviving instruments music composed for those instruments and the documentary evidence surrounding the trade of instrument making Fleming and Bryan draw significant conclusions about the changing nature and varieties of viol in early modern England.

Early Equipment Management (EEM)Continuous Improvement for Projects When capital projects fail to deliver it is usually not due to technical reasons but a combination of behavioral pitfalls unclear accountabilities and gaps in design specification and/or project-management processes. Early Equipment Management (EEM): Continuous Improvement for Projects explains how well known and award winning organizations avoid these weaknesses by using: Project road maps setting out clear accountabilities for each step of the concept-to-project-delivery process; Progressive design goals for each step to assure the delivery of low life-cycle costs; Processes to codify tacit knowledge reveal latent design weaknesses and build high performance cross-functional team collaboration; Project governance processes that systematically raise their organizations ability to reduce time to market for new assets products and services with higher added value and fewer resources. Hence the books title of continuous improvement for projects. The word Early in EEM refers to the principle of trapping problems as early as possible in the project process when they are cheapest to resolve. That makes EEM relevant to all projects even those that have past the design stages. To support the use of EEM at any project step the author has designed each chapter as a standalone topic with cross references to other chapters where relevant. This book:- Explains The six EEM project delivery steps setting out the tasks and accountabilities for project teams project managers and steering committees at each step; How to organize projects to increase project added value through the collaboration of commercial operational and technology stakeholders The wiring up behind behaviors that contribute to the failure of traditional project management approaches and how to avoid those pitfalls; The use of projects as a vehicle for the development of internal talent and increase capital project added value The systematic development of internal capabilities to deliver flawless operation from day one in less time with less resources How raising project governance capability directly impacts on company wide management competence Uses case studies to explain how to implement the EEM methodology and Describes how EEM principles and techniques applied to product and service development (Early Product Management) multiplies the gains from EEM. This book shows readers how and why EEM works so that they can design their own EEM road map and continuous improvement process for projects.

Early Ethical Writings of Aurel Kolnai This title was first published in 2002: Kolnai's later work in moral philosophy is well-known and interest in it continues to grow but his dissertation Ethical Value and Reality has received little attention - although Kolnai himself said that it contains the germs of nearly all his subsequent thought. This first English translation of the dissertation and of two related papers from the same period will enable the English-speaking reader to explore Kolnai's ethical work as a whole. In Ethical Value and Reality Kolnai proposes a 'completion' of phenomenological value-ethics which takes account of 'the embeddedness of ethical values in reality'. Kolnai explores moral psychology and offers important perspectives on political activity in its moral dimensions on the relation between morality and religion and on the relation between the moral point of view and the psycho-therapeutic. Dunlop's comprehensive introduction to the translation provides the reader with assistance in understanding the text setting it in its contemporary context and relating it to Kolnai's subsequent writings.

Early Formal EducationCurrent Theory Research and Practice The future of any society lies in its ability to train and socialize its young. The stability of its institutions political systems the productivity of its industrial resources and the creativity of its intellectual talent reflect the success of those who have been given responsibility for shaping and developing its youth. If these teaching functions are not adequately performed through failure of the agents as a result of new demands created by new values social economic or political change pressures may emerge for the modification of socializing procedures or for a change in the agents allocated responsibility for socialization.Some major questions answered in this book include: At what age should formal education begin? What effect does the timing of education have on a child's later social and educational development? Do pre-school years deserve the fiscal resources and professional talent now being allocated to them? Can socially and economically disadvantaged children be successfully educated without involving families and community? What is the role of technology in the early education process?This volume brings together the work of active and articulate spokespersons in the field of early education during the 1960s. It makes explicit the concepts theories and empirical data upon which the field as a whole is proceeding. These contributions from leading psychologists child development researchers and educators cover an unusually broad range of issues. Providing a reference on theories and existing programs in the field of early learning and offering many suggestions for the course and content of today's programs this volume is important reading in child development and the psychology and sociology of education.

Early French ReformThe Theology and Spirituality of Guillaume Farel Reminding us that the Genevan Reformation does not begin and end with John Calvin this book provides an introduction to Guillaume Farel (1489-1565) one of several important yet often overlooked French-speaking reformers. Born in 1489 near Gap France Farel was an important first-generation French-speaking Reformer and one of the most influential early leaders of the Reform movement in what is now French-speaking Switzerland. Educated in Paris he slowly began to question Catholic orthodoxy and by the 1520s was an active protestant preacher resulting in his exile to Switzerland. Part of Farel's aggressive work in this area brought him to Geneva several times where in 1535 and 1536 he secured votes in favour of the Reform and later in 1536 persuaded the young theologian John Calvin to stay. Farel also penned Geneva's confession of faith of that year and their ecclesiastical articles of the next. As such this volume underlines the fact that Calvin entered the reform movement in Geneva in a situation in which Farel had been already deeply involved. To better understand that situation the book is divided into two parts. The first provides a rich and nuanced portrait of Farel's early thought by way of interpretive essays; the second section offers translations of a number of Farel's key texts. These translations include some of the first widely-accessible full-length translations of Farel's work into English. Offering both a scholarly overview of Farel and his life and access to his own words this book demonstrates the importance of Farel to the Reformation. It will be welcomed not only by scholars engaged in research on French reform movements but also by students of history theology or literature wishing to read some of the earliest theological texts originally written in French.

Early Gothic Column-Figure Sculpture in FranceAppearance Materials and Significance Richly illustrated Early Gothic Column-Figure Sculpture in France is a comprehensive investigation of church portal sculpture installed between the 1130s and the 1170s. At more than twenty great churches beginning at the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis and extending around Paris from Provins in the east south to Bourges and Dijon and west to Chartres and Angers larger than life-size statues of human figures were arranged along portal jambs many carved as if wearing the dress of the highest ranks of French society. This study takes a close look at twelfth-century human figure sculpture describing represented clothing defining the language of textiles and dress that would have been legible in the twelfth-century and investigating rationale and significance. The concepts conveyed through these extraordinary visual documents and the possible motivations of the patrons of portal programs with column-figures are examined through contemporaneous historical textual and visual evidence in various media. Appendices include analysis of sculpture production and the transportation and fabrication in limestone from Paris. Janet Snyder's new study considers how patrons used sculpture to express and shape perceived reality employing images of textiles and clothing that had political economic and social significances.

Early Hominid Activities at OlduvaiFoundations of Human Behaviour The earliest sites at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania are among the best documented and most important for studies of human evolution. This book investigates the behavior of hominids at Olduvai using data of stone tools and animal bones as well as the results of work in taphonomy (how animals become fossils) the behavior of mammals and a wide range of ecological theory and data. By illustrating the ways in which modern and prehistoric evidence is used in making interpretations the author guides the reader through the geological ecological and archeological areas involved in the study of humans.Based on his study of the Olduvai excavations animal life and stone tools the author carefully examines conventional views and proposals about the early Olduvai sites. First the evidence of site geology tool cut marks and other clues to the formation of the Olduvai sites are explored. On this basis the large mammal communities in which early hominids lived are investigated using methods which compare sites produced mainly by hominids with others made by carnivores. Questions about hominid hunting scavenging and the importance of eating meat are then scrutinized. The leading alternative positions on each issue are discussed providing a basis for understanding some of the most contentious debates in paleo-anthropology today.The dominant interpretive model for the artifact and bone accumulations at Olduvai and other Plio-Pleistocene sites has been that they represent home bases social foci similar to the campsites of hunter-gatherers. Based on paleo-ecological evidence and ecological models the author critically analyzes the home base interpretation and proposes alternative views. A new view of the Olduvai sites - that they represent stone caches where hominids processed carcasses for food - is shown to have important implications for our understanding of hominid social behavior and evolution.

Early Islamic Art 650–1100Constructing the Study of Islamic Art Volume I Early Islamic Art 650-1100 is the first in a set of four volumes of studies by Oleg Grabar. Between them they bring together more than eighty articles studies and essays work spanning half a century. Each volume takes a particular section of the topic the three subsequent volumes being entitled: Islamic Visual Culture 1100-1800; Islamic Art and Beyond; and Jerusalem. Reflecting the many incidents of a long academic life they illustrate one scholar's attempt at making order and sense of 1400 years of artistic growth. They deal with architecture painting objects iconography theories of art aesthetics and ornament and they seek to integrate our knowledge of Islamic art with Islamic culture and history as well as with the global concerns of the History of Art. In addition to the articles selected each volume contains an introduction which describes often in highly personal ways the context in which Grabar's scholarship developed and the people who directed and mentored his efforts. The present volume concentrates primarily on documents provided by archaeology understood in its widest sense and including the study of texts with reference to monuments or to the contexts of these monuments. The articles included represent major contributions to the understanding of the formative centuries of Islamic art focusing on the Umayyad (661-750) and Fatimid (969-1171) dynasties in Greater Syria and in Egypt and on the Mediterranean or Iranian antecedents of early Islamic art. Historical cultural and religious themes including the role of court ceremonies the growth of cities and the importance of the Qur'an are introduced to help explain how a new art was formed in the central lands of the Near East and how its language can be retrieved from visual or written sources.

Early Islamic History Insight into the origins and early development of Islam has become relevant not only to the specialist but underlies a thorough understanding of debates relating to Islam and the Middle East in the contemporary period. Over the past decades the field has seen the publication of some excellent in-depth studies on aspects of Islamic history 600–1000 CE and has also undergone a revision of its own boundaries. Some studies have thus placed the origins of Islam in the wider context of Late Antiquity and argued for an examination of the development of Islam as a religion and civilization in a broader monotheistic and Mediterranean context. Moreover the historiographic debates of the 1970s are far from resolved: in the seventies a new critical approach to the study of early Islamic history emerged often described as the sceptical or revisionist approach. Questioning the reliability of the Muslim tradition about Islamic origins the ‘revisionists’ also at times suggested that it is impossible to recover any kernel of historical truth (what ‘actually happened’). Their assumptions and findings have been (and continue to be) criticized in numerous works though not often in sustained or comprehensive manners. More recently the field has witnessed a return to more ‘conventional’ approaches where attempts are made to recover and reconstruct aspects of early Islamic history by analysis of the transmission history of hadith traditions and their chains of narrators. An understanding of the sources and the historiography thus remains pivotal to discussions of early Islamic history. This important issue is addressed particularly in the first volume and in a thorough introduction which draws together the main themes and developments of the period. Early Years of Islam provides excellent reference work and very useful teaching material for a number of different university level courses in subjects including History Area Studies Religious Studies and Islamic Studies.

Early Islamic Poetry and Poetics This volume brings together a set of key studies on classical Arabic poetry (ca. 500-1000 C.E.) published over the last thirty-five years; the individual articles each deal with a different approach period genre or theme. The major focus is on new interpretations of the form and function of the pre-eminent classical poetic genre the polythematic qasida or Arabic ode particularly explorations of its ritual ceremonial and performance dimensions. Other articles present the typology and genre characteristics of the short monothematic forms especially the lyrical ghazal and the wine-poem. After thus setting out the full poetic genres and their structures the volume turns in the remaining studies to the philological rhetorical stylistic and motival elements of classical Arabic poetry in their etymological symbolic historical and comparatist dimensions. Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych's Introduction places the articles within the context of the major critical and methodological trajectories of the field and in doing so demonstrates the increasing integration of Arabic literary studies into contemporary humanistic scholarship. The Selected Bibliography complements the Introduction and the Articles to offer the reader a full overview of the past generation of Western literary and critical scholarship on classical Arabic poetry.

Early Islamic Theology: The Mu`tazilites and al-Ash`ariTexts and Studies on the Development and History of Kalam Vol. II This is the second of three volumes reprinting the collected papers on Islamic subjects by Richard M. Frank Professor Emeritus at the Catholic University of America. It brings together Franks's articles on early kalam the Mu`tazilites and the development of the thought of al-Ash`ari. The studies in this collection are of particular importance for the study of kalam in that they represent an original attempt to make philosophical sense and understand the theoretical underpinnings of the foundational theological tradition in early Islam the Mu`tazilite school of Basra. They focus among others on Abu l-Hudhayl al-`Allaf al-Jubba`i and al-Ash`ari and include a critical edition and translation of the latter's al-Hathth `ala l-bahth.

Early Language Acquisition of Mandarin-Speaking Children Compared with other subdisciplines in Chinese linguistics children’s language acquisition is a significant field with relatively limited achievements. Based on data from a dynamic and developmental corpus this book is a comprehensive exploration of the early development of Chinese-speaking children’s language acquisition.   Anchoring the discussions regarding phonetics semantics and aspects of syntax in a cognitive and functional framework the author conducts an in-depth analysis of many acquisition characteristics such as the inevitable and incidental errors of their learning of initials; their ability to obtain the concept of time at a young age and the utilization of Le in the expression of the past tense; their understanding of subjectivity at a young age and the ability to express it; their learning of the degree of modality following the order of from probability to necessity; and children’s acquisition of syntactic structures being impacted by genetics and also affected by the steps involved in syntactic processing. Although genetics cognition and experience all play a role in children’s language acquisition this book focuses on the role of cognitive functions.   By successfully explaining the acquisition rules based on some cutting-edge linguistic theories the book will certainly be beneficial to scholars studying linguistics psychology cognitive science and early childhood educators.

Early Language Development in Full-term and Premature infants Designed to provide practical information to those who are concerned with the development of young children this book has three goals. First the authors offer details about patterns of language development over the first three years of life. Although intensive studies have been carried out by examining from one to 20 children in the age range of zero to three years there has been no longitudinal study of a sample as large as this--53 children--nor have as many measures of language development been obtained from the same children. Examining language development from a broad perspective in this size population allows us to see what generalizations can be made about patterns of language development. This volume's second goal is to examine the impact of such factors as biology cognition and communication input--and the interaction of these factors--which traditionally have been held to play an important role in the course of language development. The comparative influence of each--and the interaction of all three--were examined statistically using children's scores on standard language tests at age three. The volume's third goal is to provide information to beginning investigators early childhood educators and clinicians that can help them in their practice. This includes information about what appear to be good early predictors of language development at three years; language assessment procedures that can be used with children below age three how these procedures can be used what they tell us about the language development of young children; and what warning signs should probably be attended to and which can most likely be ignored. In addition suggestions are made about what patterns of communicative interaction during the different periods of development seem to be most successful in terms of language development outcomes at three years and what overall indications the study offers regarding appropriate intervention.

Early Language DevelopmentImplications for Clinical and Educational Practice Language is of central importance in children’s development and vital for their success at school and in the world beyond. Designed for the many professionals involved in encouraging language development Early Language Development originally published in 1990 will enable them to get to grips with the practical issues of helping children with language difficulties. John Harris provides an invaluable summary of recent research on language development and how it relates to the practical concerns of language assessment and language teaching. Readers are given a clear account of the ways in which research has expanded our understanding of just what language is and how this has led to different approaches to language assessment. Various theories of language development are summarised and discussed in terms of their implications for language teaching. Dr Harris also describes different ways of encouraging language development and explains how teachers and therapists can overcome the special problems faced by children with particular difficulties such as visual impairment hearing impairment general learning difficulties and environmental deprivation. With its emphasis on the relevance of research-based knowledge to practical concerns the book provides a useful bridge between the world of research and practice. It will be of particular interest to teachers of young children speech therapists and child psychologists as well as to students taking courses on child development and to parents of young children.

Early Learning in Man and Animal Originally published in 1970 this is a survey of findings on the learning of young animals and human infants. In an attempt to discover some of the characteristic features of early learning it examines all types of learning from conditioning and the primitive process known as ‘imprinting’ usually associated with ducklings to the beginnings of understanding and language. The so-called ‘critical’ periods for social learning and personality development are considered at some length and a close look is taken at research methods used in studying early learning and at the needs and problems of current research. As a textbook for students of psychology biology and sociology this book would have been invaluable at the time of publication. It should still also be of interest to research workers in the fields of animal behaviour and developmental psychology and to practising psychologists psychiatrists and social workers as it is an up-to-date summary of all the knowledge concerning early learning at the time.

Early Medieval Exegesis in the Latin WestSources and Forms One of the significant developments in scholarship in the latter half of the twentieth century was the awareness among historians of ideas historians of theology and medievalists of the importance of the Christian scriptures in the Latin Middle Ages. In contrast to an earlier generation of scholars who considered the medieval period as a ’Bible-free zone’ recent investigations have shown the central role of scripture in literature art law liturgy and formal religious education. Indeed to understand the Latin Middle Ages one must understand the value they placed upon the Bible how they related to it and how they studied it. However despite the new emphasis on the Bible’s role and the place of exegesis in medieval thought our detailed understanding is all too meagre - and generalisations often imagined as valid for a period of close to a millennium abound. How the Scriptures were used in one pursuit (formal theology for example relied heavily on ’allegory’) was often very different to the way they were used in another (e.g. in history writing was interested in literal meanings) and exegesis differed over time and with cultures. Similarly while most medieval writers were agreed that there were several ’senses’ within the text the number and nature varied greatly as did the strategies for accessing those meanings. This collection of fifteen articles concentrating on the early Latin middle ages explores this variety and highlights just how patchy has been our understanding of medieval exegesis. We now may be aware of the importance of the Bible but the task of studying that phenomenon is in its infancy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367601386

Early Medieval Studies in Memory of Patrick Wormald Patrick Wormald was a brilliant interpreter of the Early Middle Ages whose teaching writings and generous friendship inspired a generation of historians and students of politics law language literature and religion to focus their attention upon the world of the Anglo-Saxons and the Franks. Leading British American and continental scholars - his colleagues friends and pupils - here bear witness to his seminal influence by presenting a collection of studies devoted to the key themes that dominated his work: kingship; law and society; ethnic religious national and linguistic identities; the power of images pictorial or poetic in shaping political and religious institutions. Closely mirroring the interests of their honorand the collection not only underlines Patrick Wormald's enormous contribution to the field of Anglo-Saxon studies but graphically demonstrates his belief that early medieval England and Anglo-Saxon law could only be understood against a background of research into contemporary developments in the nearby Welsh Scottish Irish and Frankish kingdoms. He would have been well pleased therefore that this volume should make such significant advances in our understanding of the world of Bede of the dynasty of King Alfred and also of the workings of English law between the seventh and the twelfth century. Moreover he would have been particularly delighted at the rich comparisons and contrasts with Celtic societies offered here and with the series of fundamental reassessments of aspects of Carolingian Francia. Above all these studies present fundamental reinterpretations not only of published written sources and their underlying manuscript evidence but also of the development of some of the dominant ideas of that era. In both their scope and the quality of the scholarship the collection stands as a fitting tribute to the work and life of Patrick Wormald and his lasting contribution to early medieval studies.

Early Medieval Text and Image Volume 1The Insular Gospel Books When she died in 2016 Dr Jennifer O’Reilly left behind a body of published and unpublished work in three areas of medieval studies: the iconography of the Gospel Books produced in early medieval Ireland and Anglo-Saxon England; the writings of Bede and his older Irish contemporary Adomnán of Iona; and the early lives of Thomas Becket. In these three areas she explored the connections between historical texts artistic images and biblical exegesis. This volume brings together nine studies of the Insular Gospel Books. One of them on the iconography of the St Gall Gospels (Essay 9) was left completed but unpublished on the author’s death. It appears here for the first time. The remaining studies published between 1987 and 2013 examine certain themes and motifs that inform the Gospel Books: their implicit Christology their harmonisation of the four Gospel accounts the depiction of Christ crucified and the portrayal of St John the Evangelist. Two of the Books the Durham Gospels and the Gospels of Mael Brigte receive particular attention. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367219932

In these three areas she explored the connections between historical texts artistic images and biblical exegesis. This volume brings together seventeen essays published between 1984 and 2013 on the interplay of texts and images in medieval art. Most focus on the manuscript art of early medieval Ireland and England. The first section includes four studies of the Codex Amiatinus produced in Northumbria in the monastic community of Bede. The second section contains seven essays on the iconography and text of the Book of Kells. In the third section there are five studies of Anglo-Saxon Art examined in the context of the Benedictine Reform.

Early Medieval VeniceCultural Memory and History Early Medieval Venice examines the significant changes that Venice underwent between the late-sixth and the early-eleventh centuries. From the periphery of the Byzantine Empire Venice acquired complete independence and emerged as the major power in the Adriatic area. It also avoided absorption by neighbouring rulers prevented serious destruction by raiders and achieved a stable state organization all the while progressively extending its trading activities to most of northern Italy and the eastern Mediterranean. This was not a linear process but the Venetians obtained and defended these results with great tenacity creating the foundations for the remarkable developments of the following centuries. This book presents the most relevant themes that characterized Venice during this epoch including war violence and the manner in which ‘others’ were perceived. It examines how early medieval authors and modern scholars have portrayed this period and how they were sometimes influenced by their own ‘present’ in their reconstruction of the past.

Early MesopotamiaSociety and Economy at the Dawn of History The roots of our modern world lie in the civilization of Mesopotamia which saw the development of the first urban society and the invention of writing. The cuneiform texts reveal the technological and social innovations of Sumer and Babylonia as surprisingly modern and the influence of this fascinating culture was felt throughout the Near East. Early Mesopotamia gives an entirely new account integrating the archaeology with historical data which until now have been largely scattered in specialist literature.

Early Modern Academic Drama In this essay collection the contributors contend that academic drama represents an important but heretofore understudied site of cultural production in early modern England. Focusing on plays that were written and performed in academic environments such as Oxford University Cambridge University grammar schools and the Inns of Court the scholars investigate how those plays strive to give dramatic coherence to issues of religion politics gender pedagogy education and economics. Of particular significance are the shifting political and religious contentions that so frequently shaped both the cultural questions addressed by the plays and the sorts of dramatic stories that were most conducive to the exploration of such questions. The volume argues that the writing and performance of academic drama constitute important moments in the history of education and the theater because in these plays narrative is consciously put to work as both a representation of and an exercise in knowledge formation. The plays discussed speak to numerous segments of early modern culture including the relationship between the academy and the state the tensions between humanism and religious reform the successes and failures of the humanist program the social profits and economic liabilities of formal education and the increasing involvement of universities in the commercial market among other issues.

Early Modern Catholics Royalists and CosmopolitansEnglish Transnationalism and the Christian Commonwealth Early Modern Catholics Royalists and Cosmopolitans considers how the marginalized perspective of 16th-century English Catholic exiles and 17th-century English royalist exiles helped to generate a form of cosmopolitanism that was rooted in contemporary religious and national identities but also transcended those identities. Author Brian C. Lockey argues that English discourses of nationhood were in conversation with two opposing 'cosmopolitan' perspectives one that sought to cultivate and sustain the emerging English nationalism and imperialism and another that challenged English nationhood from the perspective of those Englishmen who viewed the kingdom as one province within the larger transnational Christian commonwealth. Lockey illustrates how the latter cosmopolitan perspective produced within two communities of exiled English subjects separated in time by half a century influenced fiction writers such as Sir Philip Sidney Edmund Spenser Anthony Munday Sir John Harington John Milton and Aphra Behn. Ultimately he shows that early modern cosmopolitans critiqued the emerging discourse of English nationhood from a traditional religious and political perspective even as their writings eventually gave rise to later secular Enlightenment forms of cosmopolitanism.

Early Modern ChildhoodAn Introduction Early Modern Childhood is a detailed and accessible introduction to childhood in the early modern period which guides students through every part of childhood from infancy to youth and places the early modern child within the broader social context of the period. Drawing on the work of recent revisionist historians the book scrutinises traditional historiographical views of early modern childhood challenging the idea that the concept of ‘childhood’ didn’t exist in this period and that families avoided developing strong affections for their children because of the high death rate. Instead this book reveals a more intricately detailed character of the early modern child and how childhood was viewed and experienced. Divided into five parts it brings together the work of historians art historians and literary scholars to discuss a variety of themes and questions surrounding each stage of childhood including the household pregnancy infancy education religion gender illness and death. Chapters are also dedicated to the topics of crime illegitimacy and children’s clothing providing a broad and varied lens through which to view this subject. Exploring the evolution in understanding of the early modern child Early Modern Childhood is the ideal book for students of the early modern family early modern childhood and early modern gender.

Early Modern Constructions of EuropeLiterature Culture History Between the medieval conception of Christendom and the political visions of modernity ideas of Europe underwent a transformative and catalytic period that saw a cultural process of renewed self-definition or self-Europeanization. The contributors to this volume address this process analyzing how Europe was imagined between 1450 and 1750. By whom in which contexts and for what purposes was Europe made into a subject of discourse? Which forms did early modern ‘Europes’ take and what functions did they serve? Essays examine the role of factors such as religion history space and geography ethnicity and alterity patronage and dynasty migration and education language translation and narration for the ways in which Europe turned into an ‘imagined community.’ The thematic range of the volume comprises early modern texts in Arabic English French German Greek Italian Latin and Spanish including plays poems and narrative fiction as well as cartography historiography iconography travelogues periodicals and political polemics. Literary negotiations in particular foreground the creative potential versatility and agency that inhere in the process of Europeanization as well as a specifically early modern attitude towards the past and tradition emblematized in the poetics of the period. There is a clear continuity between the collection’s approach to European identities and the focus of cultural and postcolonial studies on the constructed nature of collective identities at large: the chapters build on the insights produced by these fields over the past decades and apply them from various angles to a subject that has so far largely eluded critical attention. This volume examines what existing and well-established work on identity and alterity hybridity and margins has to contribute to an understanding of the largely un-examined and under-theorized ‘pre-formative’ period of European identity.

Early Modern Dutch Prints of Africa Using Pieter de Marees' Description and Historical Account of the Gold Kingdom of Guinea (1602) as her main source material author Elizabeth Sutton brings to bear approaches from the disciplines of art history and book history to explore the context in which De Marees' account was created. Since variations of the images and text were repeated in other European travel collections and decorated maps Sutton is able to trace how the framing of text and image shaped the formation of knowledge that continued to be repeated and distilled in later European depictions of Africans. She reads the engravings in De Marees' account as a demonstration of the intertwining domains of the Dutch pictorial tradition intellectual inquiry and Dutch mercantilism. At the same time by analyzing the marketing tactics of the publisher Cornelis Claesz this study illuminates how early modern epistemological processes were influenced by the commodification of knowledge. Sutton examines the book's construction and marketing to shed new light on the social milieus that shared interests in ethnography trade and travel. Exploring how the images and text function together Sutton suggests that Dutch visual and intellectual traditions informed readers' choices for translating De Marees' text visually. Through the examination of early modern Dutch print culture Early Modern Dutch Prints of Africa expands the boundaries of our understanding of the European imperial enterprise.

Early Modern Dynastic Marriages and Cultural Transfer Toward the end of the fifteenth century the Habsburg family began to rely on dynastic marriage to unite an array of territories eventually creating an empire as had not been seen in Europe since the Romans. Other European rulers followed the Habsburgs' lead in forging ties through dynastic marriages. Because of these marriages many more aristocrats (especially women) left their homelands to reside elsewhere. Until now historians have viewed these unions from a primarily political viewpoint and have paid scant attention to the personal dimensions of these relocations. Separated from their family and thrust into a strange new land in which language attire religion food and cultural practices were often different these young aristocrats were forced to conform to new customs or adapt their own customs to a new cultural setting. Early Modern Dynastic Marriages and Cultural Transfer examines these marriages as important agents of cultural transfer emphasizing how marriages could lead to the creation of a cosmopolitan culture common to the elites of Europe. These essays focus on the personal and domestic dimensions of early modern European court life examining such areas as women's devotional practices fashion patronage and culinary traditions.

Early Modern EmotionsAn Introduction Early Modern Emotions is a student-friendly introduction to the concepts approaches and sources used to study emotions in early modern Europe and to the perspectives that analysis of the history of emotions can offer early modern studies more broadly. The volume is divided into four sections that guide students through the key processes and practices employed in current research on the history of emotions. The first explains how key terms and concepts in the study of emotions relate to early modern Europe while the second focuses on the unique ways in which emotions were conceptualized at the time. The third section introduces a range of sources and methodologies that are used to analyse early modern emotions. The final section includes a wide-ranging selection of thematic topics covering war religion family politics art music literature and the non-human world to show how analysis of emotions may offer new perspectives on the early modern period more broadly. Each section offers bite-sized accessible commentaries providing students new to the history of emotions with the tools to begin their own investigations. Each entry is supported by annotated further reading recommendations pointing students to the latest research in that area and at the end of the book is a general bibliography which provides a comprehensive list of current scholarship. This book is the perfect starting point for any student wishing to study emotions in early modern Europe.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138925755

Early Modern Encounters with the Islamic EastPerforming Cultures An exploration of early modern encounters between Christian Europe and the (Islamic) East from the perspective of performance studies and performativity theories this collection focuses on the ways in which these cultural contacts were acted out on the real and metaphorical stages of theatre literature music diplomacy and travel. The volume responds to the theatricalization of early modern politics to contemporary anxieties about the tension between religious performance and belief to the circulation of material objects in intercultural relations and the eminent role of theatre and drama for the (re)imagination and negotiation of cultural difference. Contributors examine early modern encounters with and in the East using an innovative combination of literary and cultural theories. They stress the contingent nature of these contacts and demonstrate that they can be read as moments of potentiality in which the future of political and economic relations - as well as the players' cultural religious and gender identities - are at stake.

Early Modern English LivesAutobiography and Self-Representation 1500–1660 How did early modern English people write about themselves and how do we listen to their voices four centuries later? The authors of Early Modern English Lives: Autobiography and Self-Representation 1500-1660 argue that identity is depicted through complex subtle and often contradictory social interactions and literary forms. Diaries letters daily spiritual reckonings household journals travel journals accounts of warfare incidental meditations on the nature of time death and self-reflection as well as life stories themselves: these are just some of the texts that allow us to address the social and historical conditions that influenced early modern self-writing. The texts explored in Early Modern English Lives do not automatically speak to our familiar patterns of introspection and self-inquiry. Often formal highly metaphorical and emotionally restrained they are very different in both tone and purpose from the autobiographies that crowd bookshelves today. Does the lack of emotional description suggest that complex emotions themselves in all the depth and variety that we now understand (and expect of) them are a relatively modern phenomenon? This is one of the questions addressed by Early Modern English Lives. The authors bring to our attention the kinds of rhetorical and generic features of early modern self-representation that can help us to appreciate people living four hundred years ago as the complicated composite figures they were: people whose expression of identity involved an elaborate interplay of roles and discourses and for whom the notion of privacy itself was a wholly different phenomenon.

Early Modern English Marginalia Marginalia in early modern and medieval texts – printed handwrit- ten drawn scratched colored and pasted in – offer a glimpse of how people as individuals and in groups interacted with books and manu- scripts over often lengthy periods of time. The chapters in this volume build on earlier scholarship that established marginalia as an intellec- tual method (Grafton and Jardine) as records of reading motivated by cultural social theological and personal inclinations (Brayman [Hackel] and Orgel) and as practices inspired by material affordances particular to the book and the pen (Fleming and Sherman). They further the study of the practices of marginalia as a mode – a set of ways in which material opportunities and practices overlap with intellectual social and personal motivations to make meaning in the world. They introduce us to a set of idiosyncratic examples such as the trace marks of objects left in books deliberately or by accident; cut-and-pasted additions to printed volumes; a marriage depicted through shared book ownership. They reveal to us in case studies the unique value of mar- ginalia as evidence of phenomena as important and diverse as religious change authorial self-invention and the history of the literary canon. The chapters of this book go beyond the case study however and raise broad historical cultural and theoretical questions about the strange marvelous metamorphic thing we call the book and the equally mul- tiplicitous eccentric and inscrutable beings who accompany them through history: readers and writers.

Early Modern English Noblewomen and Self-StarvationThe Skull Beneath the Skin Early Modern English Noblewomen and Self-Starvation: The Skull Beneath the Skin is a unique exploration of why early modern noblewomen starved themselves how they understood their behaviour and how it was interpreted and received by their contemporaries. The first study of its kind the book adopts an interdisciplinary and highly detailed approach to examining women’s self-starvation between 1500 and 1640. It is also the first book to focus on this behaviour among noblewomen. Beginning with a contextual outline of gender food and embodiment in early modern culture the book then looks explicitly at the food behaviour of several well-known figures including Elizabeth I Catherine of Aragon Mary I Arbella Stuart and Katherine Grey. Each case study engages with a variety of primary sources such as letters and legal documents as well as with literary texts providing an in-depth exploration of the relationship between self-starvation and concepts of autonomy sexuality and literal and symbolic imprisonment highlighting the body and specifically the act of eating as fundamental to identity in the early modern period and today. Employing both literary and historical methodologies Early Modern English Noblewomen and Self-Starvation is an important contribution to the study of the history of the body and is essential reading for students and academics of early modern women’s history gender history food history and the history of the body.

Early Modern ExchangesDialogues Between Nations and Cultures 1550-1750 Marcus Gheeraerts’s portrait of a ’Persian lady’ - probably in fact an English lady in masquing costume - exemplifies the hybridity of early modern English culture. Her surrounding landscape and the embroidery on her gown are typically English; but her head-dress and slippers are decidedly exotic the inscriptions beside her are Latin and her creator was an ’incomer’ artist. She is emblematic of the early modern culture of exchange both between England and its neighbours and between Europe and the wider world. This volume presents fresh research into such early modern exchanges exploring how new identities subjectivities and artefacts were forged in dialogues and encounters between diverse cultures nations and language communities. The early modern period was a time of creative interactions between cultures and disciplines and accordingly this is a multidisciplinary volume drawing together international experts in literature history modern and ancient languages and art history. It understands cultural exchange as encompassing both the geographical mobilities of travel and trade and the transmission of ideas across borders and between languages as enabled by the new technology of print. Sites of exchange were located not only in distant and unfamiliar lands but also in the bookseller’s shop and the scholar’s study. The volume also explores the productive and complex dialogues between early modern culture and the classical past. The types of exchanges discussed include the linguistic transactions of translation and imitation; interactions between cultural elites such as monarchs courtiers and diplomats; and the catalytic influences of particularly mobile or outward-looking individuals and groups. Ranging from the neo-Latin poetry of an English author to the plays of a nun in seventeenth-century New Spain from royal portraits exchanged in diplomatic negotiations to travelling companions in the Ottoman Empire the volume sheds new light Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367880101

Early Modern Jesuits between Obedience and Conscience during the Generalate of Claudio Acquaviva (1581-1615) The Society of Jesus was founded by Ignatius Loyola on a principal of strict obedience to papal and superiors’ authorities yet the nature of the Jesuits's work and the turbulent political circumstances in which they operated inevitably brought them into conflict with the Catholic hierarchy. In order to better understand and contextualise the debates concerning obedience this book examines the Jesuits of south-western Europe during the generalate of Claudio Acquaviva. Acquaviva’s thirty year generalate (1581-1615) marked a challenging time for the Jesuits during which their very system of government was called into doubt. The need for obedience and the limits of that obedience posed a question of fundamental importance both to debates taking place within the Society and to the definition of a collective Jesuit identity. At the same time struggles for jurisdiction between political states and the papacy as well as the difficulties raised by the Protestant Reformation all called for matters to be rethought. Divided into four chapters the book begins with an analysis of the texts and contexts in which Jesuits reflected on obedience at the turn of the seventeenth century. The three following chapters then explore the various Ignatian sources that discussed obedience placing them within their specific contexts. In so doing the book provides fascinating insights into how the Jesuits under Acquaviva approached the concept of obedience from theological and practical standpoints.

Early Modern Literature and England’s Long Reformation Assessing early modern literature and England’s Long Reformation this book challenges the notion that the English Reformation ended in the sixteenth century or even by the seventeenth century. Contributions by literary scholars and historians of religion put these two disciplines in critical conversation with each other in order to examine a complex messy and long-drawn-out process of reformation that continued well beyond the significant political and religious upheavals of the sixteenth century. The aim of this conversation is to generate new perspectives on the constant remaking of the Reformation—or Reformations as some scholars prefer to characterize the multiple religious upheavals and changes both Catholic and Protestant—of the early modern period. This interdisciplinary book makes a major contribution to debates about the nature and length of England’s Long Reformation. Early Modern Literature and England’s Long Reformation is essential reading for scholars and students considering the interconnections between literature and religion in the early modern period. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Reformation. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367561703

Early Modern Merchants as Collectors Early Modern Merchants as Collectors encourages the rethinking of collecting not as an elite often aristocratic pursuit but rather as a vital activity that has engaged many different groups within society. The essays included in this volume consider merchants not only as important collectors in their own right as opposed to merely agents or middlemen but also as innovators who determined taste. Through bringing together contributions on merchant collectors across a wide geographical spread including England The Netherlands Venice Moghul India China and Japan among other locations it aims to challenge the often Eurocentric view of the study of collecting that has shaped the discipline to date. The early modern period and its Wunderkammern formed the subject of some of the earliest foundational texts on collecting. This volume expands on such previous scholarship taking a more in-depth look at a particular class of collectors and investigating their motivations social and economic circumstances and the intellectual ideas and purposes that informed their collecting. It offers a fresh approach to the understanding of the role of merchants in early modern societies and will serve as a resource to historians of art science museums culture and economics as well as to scholars of transcultural studies.

Early Modern Poetics in Melville and PoeMemory Melancholy and the Emblematic Tradition Bringing to bear his expertise in the early modern emblem tradition William E. Engel traces a series of self-reflective organizational schemes associated with baroque artifice in the work of Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe. While other scholars have remarked on the influence of seventeenth-century literature on Melville and Poe this is the first book to explore how their close readings of early modern texts influenced their decisions about compositional practice especially as it relates to public performance and the exigencies of publication. Engel's discussion of the narrative structure and emblematic aspects of Melville's Piazza Tales and Poe's "The Raven" serve as case studies that demonstrate the authors' debt to the past. Focusing principally on the overlapping rhetorical and iconic assumptions of the Art of Memory and its relation to chiasmus Engel avoids engaging in a simple account of what these authors read and incorporated into their own writings. Instead through an examination of their predisposition toward an earlier model of pattern recognition he offers fresh insight into the writers' understandings of mourning and loss their use of allegory and what they gained from their use of pseudonyms.

Early Modern Political Petitioning and Public Engagement in Scotland Britain and Scandinavia c.1550-1795 This book assesses the everyday use of petitions in administrative and judicial settings and contrasts these with more assertive forms of political petitioning addressed to assemblies or rulers. A petition used to be a humble means of asking a favour but in the early modern period petitioning became more assertive and participative. This book shows how this contrasted to ordinary petitioning often to the consternation of authorities. By evaluating petitioning practices in Scotland England and Denmark the book traces the boundaries between ordinary and adversarial petitioning and shows how non-elites could become involved in politics through petitioning. Also observed are the responses of authorities to participative petitions including the suppression or forgetting of unwelcome petitions and consequent struggles to establish petitioning as a right rather than a privilege. Together the chapters in this book indicate the significance of collective petitioning in articulating early modern public opinion and shaping contemporary ideas about opinion at large. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Parliaments Estates & Representation. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367630003

Early Modern Trading Networks in EuropeCooperation and the case of Simon Ruiz In the early modern period trade became a truly global phenomenon. The logistics financial and organizational complexity associated with it increased in order to connect distant geographies and merchants from different backgrounds. How did these merchants prevent their partners from dishonesty in a time where formal institutions and legislation did not traverse these different worlds? This book studies the mechanisms and criteria of cooperation in early modern trading networks. It uses an interdisciplinary approach through the case study of a Castilian long-distance merchant of the sixteenth century Simon Ruiz who traded within the limits of the Portuguese and Spanish overseas empires. Early Modern Trading Networks in Europe discusses the importance of reciprocity mechanisms trust and reputation in the context of early modern business relations using network analysis methodology combining quantitative data with qualitative information. It considers how cooperation and prevention could simultaneously create a business relationship and describes the mechanisms of control policing and punishment used to avoid opportunism and deception among a group of business partners. Using bills of exchange and correspondence from Simon Ruiz’s private archive it charts the evolution of this business network through time debating which criteria should be included or excluded from business networks as well as the emergence of standards. This book intends to put forward a new approach to early modern trade which focusses on individuals interacting in self-organized structures rather than on States or Empires. It shows how indirect reciprocity was much more frequent than direct reciprocity among early modern merchants and how informal norms like ostracism and signalling helped to prevent defection and deception in an effective way. This book will be of interest to all early modern historians especially those with an interest in economic history and the history of international trade.

Early Modern Women in the Low CountriesFeminizing Sources and Interpretations of the Past Combining historical historiographical museological and touristic analysis this study investigates how late medieval and early modern women of the Low Countries expressed themselves through texts art architecture and material objects how they were represented by contemporaries and how they have been interpreted in modern academic and popular contexts. Broomhall and Spinks analyse late medieval and early modern women's opportunities to narrate their experiences and ideas as well as the processes that have shaped their representation in the heritage and cultural tourism of the Netherlands and Belgium today. The authors study female-authored objects such as familial and political letters dolls' houses account books; visual sources funeral monuments and buildings commissioned by female patrons; and further artworks as well as heritage sites streetscapes souvenirs and clothing with gendered historical resonances. Employing an innovative range of materials from written sources to artworks material objects heritage sites and urban precincts the authors argue that interpretations of late medieval and early modern women's experiences by historians and art scholars interact with presentations by cultural and heritage tourism providers in significant ways that deserve closer interrogation by feminist researchers.

Early Modern Women's Manuscript WritingSelected Papers from the Trinity/Trent Colloquium Because print publishing was often neither possible nor desirable for women in the early modern period in order to understand the range of writing by women and indeed women's literary history itself it is important that scholars consider women's writing in manuscript. Since the body of critical studies on women's writing for the most part prioritizes print over manuscript this essay collection provides an essential corrective. The essays in this volume discuss many of the ways in which women participated in early modern manuscript culture. The manuscripts studied by the contributors originated in a wide range of different milieux including the royal Court the universities gentry and aristocratic households in England and Ireland and French convents. Their contents are similarly varied: original and transcribed secular and devotional verse religious meditations letters moral precepts in French and English and recipes are among the genres represented. Emphasizing the manuscripts' social political and religious contexts the contributors challenge commonly held notions about women's writing in English in the early modern period and bring to light many women whose work has not been considered before.

Early OrientalismImagined Islam and the Notion of Sublime Power The history of western notions about Islam is of obvious scholarly as well as popular interest today. This book investigates Christian images of the Muslim Middle East focusing on the period from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment when the nature of divine as well as human power was under particularly intense debate in the West. Ivan Kalmar explores how the controversial notion of submission to ultimate authority has in the western world been discussed with reference to Islam’s alleged recommendation to obey unquestioningly a merciless Allah in heaven and a despotic government on earth. He discusses how Abrahamic faiths – Christianity and Judaism as much as Islam – demand devotion to a sublime power with the faith that this power loves and cares for us a concept that brings with it the fear that on the contrary this power only toys with us for its own enjoyment. For such a power Kalmar borrows Slavoj Zizek’s term "obscene father". He discusses how this describes exactly the western image of the Oriental despot - Allah in heaven and the various sultans emirs and ayatollahs on earth – and how these despotic personalities of imagined Muslim society function as a projection from the West on to the Muslim Orient of an existential anxiety about sublime power. Making accessible academic debates on the history of Christian perceptions of Islam and on Islam and the West this book is an important addition to the existing literature in the areas of Islamic studies religious history and philosophy.

Early Performance: Courts and AudiencesShifting Paradigms in Early English Drama Studies These essays of Sarah Carpenter have been selected to reflect her career’s close focus on the relationship of performance and audience. They are drawn from the last 25 years of her writing and this has enabled the editors to organise them not chronologically but rather to develop her central theme through a range of genres including morality plays the interlude court entertainments international political spectacle and the public ‘performances’ of natural and maintained fools. As a scholar who also has experience of acting and of production Carpenter is particularly sensitive to the implications of location for creating meaning and generating audience reaction. The essays are focused on a relatively short time-span of 120 years from the late fifteenth to the turn of the seventeenth century and thus nuance a period traditionally divided between the late medieval and the early-modern and between Catholicism and Protestantism. Carpenter shows how the dynamics of theatrical engagement in which the roles of audience and performer are frequently mixed or even reversed offer a more creative route to understanding how the individual and society respond to change.

Early Professional Women in Northern Europe c. 1650-1850 This book focuses on early examples of women who may be said to have anticipated in one way or another modern professional and/or career-oriented women. The contributors to the book discuss women who may at least in some respect be seen as professionally ambitious unlike the great majority of working women in the past. In order to improve their positions or to find better business opportunities the women discussed in this book invested in developing their qualifications and professional skills took economic or other kinds of risks or moved to other countries. Socially they range from elite women to women of middle-class and lower middle-class origin.In terms of theory the book brings fresh insights into issues that have been long discussed in the field of women’s history and are also debated today. However despite its focus on women the book is conceptually not so much focused on gender as it is on profession business career qualifications skills and work. By applying such concepts to analyzing women’s endeavours the book aims at challenging the conventional ideas about them. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367881443

Early Race Filmmaking in America The early years of the twentieth century were a formative time in the long history of struggle for black representation. More than any other medium movies reflected the tremendous changes occurring in American society. Unfortunately since they drew heavily on the nineteenth-century theatrical conventions of blackface minstrelsy and the "Uncle Tom Show" traditions early pictures persisted in casting blacks in demeaning and outrageous caricatures that marginalized and burlesqued them and emphasized their comic or servile behavior. By contrast race films—that is movies that were black-cast black-oriented and viewed primarily by black audiences in segregated theaters—attempted to counter the crude stereotyping and regressive representations by presenting more authentic racial portrayals. This volume examines race filmmaking from numerous perspectives. By reanimating a critical but neglected period of early cinema—the years between the turn-of-the-century and 1930 the end of the silent film era—it provides a fascinating look at the efforts of early race film pioneers and offers a vibrant portrait of race and racial representation in American film and culture.

Early Social CognitionUnderstanding Others in the First Months of Life In recent years much stimulating research has emerged on children's theories of mind construed as the understanding of others' intentions beliefs and desires. In this context there is a renewed interest in the developmental origins of social cognition. This book is an expression of this new interest assembling current conceptualizations and research on the precursors of joint engagement language and explicit theories of mind. The focus is on what announces such remarkable development. The book is divided into four parts. Part I deals with the nature and development of social cognition in infancy. Each contribution provides a different view of the important features of social cognition in the first months of life. Part II presents recent empirical findings on the developing ability by young infants to detect whether caretakers and social partners are attentive and responsive to their own behavior in social exchanges. Part III focuses on the early development of infants' ability to monitor others in their action their gazing their animacy and their emotion. Part IV offers a commentary on the contributions as a whole discussing the basic theoretical assumptions guiding current research on early social cognition. The author identifies the conceptual strengths and weaknesses of the work presented and suggests interesting avenues for future research. Media > Books > Print Books Psychology Press 9781138003002

Early Trade UnionismFraternity Skill and the Politics of Labour Once the heartland of British labour history trade unionism has been marginalised in much recent scholarship. In a critical survey from the earliest times to the nineteenth century this book argues for its reinstatement. Trade unionism is shown to be both intrinsically important and to provide a window onto the broader historical landscape; the evolution of trade union principles and practices is traced from the seventeenth century to mid-Victorian times. Underpinning this survey is an explanation of labour organisation that reaches back to the fourteenth century. Throughout the emphasis is on trade union mentality and ideology rather than on institutional history. There is a critical focus on the politics of gender on the demarcation of skill and on the role of the state in labour issues. New insight is provided on the long-debated question of trade unions’ contribution to social and political unrest from the era of the French Revolution through to Chartism.

Early Trench Tactics in the French ArmyThe Second Battle of Artois May-June 1915 In the English-speaking world the First World War is all too often portrayed primarily as a conflict between Britain and Germany. The vast majority of books focus on the Anglo-German struggle and ignore the dominant part played by the French who for most of the war provided the bulk of the soldiers fighting against the central powers. As such this important and timely book joins the small but growing collection of works offering an overdue assessment of the French contribution to the Great War. Drawing heavily on French primary sources the book has two main foci: it is both an in-depth battle narrative and analysis as well as a work on the tactical evolution of the French army in Spring 1915 as it endeavored aggressively to come to grips with trench warfare. This period is of crucial importance as it was in these months that the French army learned the foundations of trench warfare on which their conduct for the remainder of the war would rest. The work argues that many advanced practices often considered German innovations - such as the rolling barrage infiltration tactics and the effective planning and integration of artillery bombardments - can all be traced back to French writing and action in early 1915. The work argues that - contrary to received opinion - French army bureaucracy proved effective at very quickly taking in digesting and then disseminating lessons learned at the front and French commanders proved to be both effective and professional. Such radical conclusions demand a fundamental rethink of the way we view operations on the Western Front. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138249509

Early Tudor Translators: Margaret Beaufort Margaret More Roper and Mary BassetPrinted Writings 1500–1640: Series I Part Two Volume 4 This volume presents the texts of three Englishwomen remarkable both for writing and publishing their work during the first half of the sixteenth century. They also proved themselves nimble survivors of political and religious turmoil Beaufort suffering for her Lancastrian connections and Roper and Basset for their Catholic allegiance. Significantly these women turned to translation and to religious texts for their writing and publishing. The choice of devotional treatises authored by men not only mitigated the threat of the female pen but more important to these writers enabled them to perform spiritual and material work. Translation was considered to be the fruit of faith contributing to the writer's own salvation and that of others notably other women. Margaret Beaufort - Countess of Richmond and Derby and mother of Henry VII. Lady Margaret's translation of the fourth book of Thomas à Kempis' De imitatione Christi was the first in English. Published in 1504 with Books 1-3 translated by William Atkinson. We reprint Pynson's 1517 edition notable for the clarity of its texts and woodcuts. Her translation from a French version of the anonymous text Speculum aureum animae peccatricis was published by Pynson in about 1506. It was reprinted three times after her death twice in 1522 and once in 1526. We reprint the 1526 edition held by the British Library. Margaret More Roper was the eldest child of Sir Thomas More and was said to have been an outstanding scholar and writer. Her only published work is the translation reproduced here - Erasmus: A devout treatise upon the Pater noster published c.1526 by T. Berthelet Mary Roper Clarke Basset was the daughter of Margaret Roper. She was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary and an expert in Latin and Greek. Reprinted here is a copy of her translation of her grandfather's final Tower work Of the sorrowe ... of Christ before hys taking from the 1557 edition of The English Workes of Sir Thomas More.

Early Word Learning Early Word Learning explores the processes leading to a young child learning words and their meanings. Word learning is here understood as the outcome of overlapping and interacting processes starting with an infant’s learning of native speech sounds to segmenting proto-words from fluent speech mapping individual words to meanings in the face of natural variability and uncertainty and developing a structured mental lexicon. Experts in the field review the development of early lexical acquisition from empirical computational and theoretical perspectives to examine the development of skilled word learning as the outcome of a process that begins even before birth and spans the first two years of life. Drawing on cutting-edge research in infant eye-tracking neuroimaging techniques and computational modelling this book surveys the field covering both established results and the most recent advances in word learning research. Featuring chapters from international experts whose research approaches the topic from these diverse perspectives using different methodologies this book provides a comprehensive yet coherent and unified representation of early word learning. It will be invaluable for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in early language development as well as being of interest to researchers interested in lexical development.

Early Years of Reform This volume forms part of a five volume set charting the progress of the nineteenth century movement which was instrumental in establishing international guidelines for the teaching of modern languages. It was during this period that for the first time co-operation between phoneticians and teachers culminated in the publication of works that were instrumental in establishing the 'applied linguistic' approach to language teaching in the twentieth century. For the first time too the new science of psychology influenced a scientific theory of second language acquisition. The Reform Movement attracted support across Europe spurring the development of new professional associations and journals. In turn the publication in these journals of reports of innovative practice contributed to a greater sense of autonomy and professionalism among modern language teachers who had hitherto tended to live under the shadow of classical language teaching. The practical innovations and theoretical suggestions for the foreign language teaching although rooted in the nineteenth century still have relevance today.

Early Years Science EducationA Contemporary Look The educational provision for early years is growing and changing across many parts of the world not least in the UK. While this book leans heavily on the mounting literature on early child development in its broadest sense – physically emotionally linguistically – its central focus lies squarely on the growth of children’s scientific thinking and activities. Written by educators this book is based both on formal educational research and professional practice-in-action. The authors describe children’s science concept development; their curiosity-driven exploration; emergent ecological literacy; their learning through science play; the assessment of early learning; the role of parents and practitioners within early education contexts; and some question the very basis of the science being taught. Illustrations and examples of practice are not confined to the UK though the messages to be derived from each chapter have application way beyond the immediate context. This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Child Development and Care. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367586751

Earned Benefit Program ManagementAligning Realizing and Sustaining Strategy No one can disagree that benefits are good things. Whether you are responsible for projects programs or portfolios you are increasingly expected to think—and act—in an appropriate benefits-driven way. However: Do you understand that what may be appropriate for a project may be inapplicable for a program? Can you avoid the trap of wishful thinking based on overinflated expectations and underestimated costs? Can you manage your program or portfolio from inception to final delivery in a consistent benefits-focused way based on a single coherent model? This book describes how Earned Benefit Program Management techniques provide an innovative all-inclusive model and set of tools developed specifically to answer these questions. This model consolidates the key concepts of project program and portfolio management and ensures that all program and portfolio management steps are carried out based on a single signed-off model in a consistent verifiable manner within a consolidated life cycle. This approach guarantees alignment with strategic goals and constraints through every stage of a program. Case studies highlight the key features of the approach and provide important lessons and insights for managing programs. Although the ideas and concepts for each topic are fully consistent with existing standards and other published material they are based on new thinking and go beyond current practice. They provide a set of original and powerful techniques that are applicable to both programs and portfolios in a wide range of business environments.

Dr Jones’s anthology is arranged under headings suggested by phrases from Lord Gifford’s will. The selection which includes names such as William James A.N. Whitehead Temple Barth Brunner Bultmann Niebuhr and Tillich was made in such a way that the reader would be able to really grasp what natural theology is about. Bernard Ewart Jones served as a Methodist minister before being appointed to the Lewins Chair of Philosophy at his old college Hartley Victoria Manchester. He was awarded a doctorate by the University of Leeds in 1966 for his thesis on ‘The Concept of Natural Theology in Gifford Lectures’. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415694964

Earth CapitalismCreating a New Civilization Through a Responsible Market Economy Today a deepening global recession is causing economic hardships for all kinds of businesses. Earth Capitalism attributes the crisis to inappropriate macroeconomic policies and excessive expansion of financial institutions in blind pursuit of profit lack of self-discipline among financial institutions and the failure of supervision and regulation to keep up with financial innovations. Collectively these are some of the main causes of the current global economic malaise.Petit argues that human greed and insatiability are the true source of disparities around the world. Greed is the reason why we are depleting the Earth's natural resources and destroying its ecosystems. He argues that instead a good life should be based on balanced give-and-take. When we take something from society or the Earth we have to maintain a balance by giving something equivalent back. Happiness is founded on gratitude for what one has and one should engage in an overall appraisal of life not what one lacks. He believes the same principle should be applied to management of the Earth's natural resources and goods.The current global crisis impels us to create a responsible capitalism one that benefits all living beings on this planet. It reminds us to live a simpler life based on true well-being and life-satisfaction but simple living is not about living in poverty. As its subtitle suggests Earth Capitalism's contributors present leading edge economic concepts business models and best practices that show the path toward creation of responsible capitalism a viable scenario emerging from the current global economic and financial crisis.

Earth First! and the Anti-Roads Movement traces the origins of the movement and the history of anti-roads activism in Britain since the 1880s. Radical EF! organisers describe how they took on their green activist identity why they launched both EF! and the anti-roads movement and their experiences of dramatic protest. Exposing the tensions between EF! and other green activists they explain the political and economic influences on and the culture and politics of protest. Showing how green social and political theory can be linked to practical struggles for environmental and social change Derek Wall investigates key topics of political and sociological interest in Britain and the World today. This is an authoritative account based on passionate and lyrical autobiographical accutns form activists blended with a strong theoretical grounding.

Earth FolliesFeminism Politics and the Environment First published in 1993. The question of ‘agency’ is essential to our understanding of environmental problems - who is responsible and why? Threats such as ozone depletion global warming and overconsumption are all precipitated by the powerful institutions which shape modern life – institutions which are overwhelmingly controlled by men and dominated by masculine presumptions. Joni Seager argues that the gender bias inherent in western culture is inextricably linked to our environmental crisis. She analyses the traditional institutes of power – governments the military and transnational corporations - and also takes a critical look at the equally patriarchal environmental establishment comparing the work of the official environmental movement grounded in masculine thought with the smaller-scale direct actions taken by women driven to protect their homes and communities. Earth Follies represents an incisive and utterly convincing feminist critique of our environmental crises and offers radical and productive priorities for the environmental agenda.

Earth JurisprudencePrivate Property and the Environment The idea of human dominion over nature has become entrenched by the dominant rights-based interpretation of private property. Accordingly nature is not attributed any inherent value and becomes merely the matter of a human property relationship. Earth Jurisprudence: Private Property and the Environment explores how an alternative conception of property might be instead grounded in the ecocentric concept of an Earth community. Recognising that human beings are deeply interconnected with and dependent on nature this concept is proposed as a standard and measure for human law. This book argues that the anthropocentric institution of private property needs to be reconceived; drawing on international case law indigenous views of property and the land use practices of agrarian communities Peter Burdon considers how private property can be reformulated in a way that fosters duties towards nature. Using the theory of earth jurisprudence as a guide he outlines an alternative ecocentric description of private property as a relationship between and among members of the Earth community. This book will appeal to those researching in law justice and ecology as well as anyone pursuing an interest more particularly in earth jurisprudence.

Earth Matters on StageEcology and Environment in American Theater Earth Matters on Stage: Ecology and Environment in American Theater tells the story of how American theater has shaped popular understandings of the environment throughout the twentieth century as it argues for theater’s potential power in the age of climate change. Using cultural and environmental history seven chapters interrogate key moments in American theater and American environmentalism over the course of the twentieth century in the United States. It focuses in particular on how drama has represented environmental injustice and how inequality has become part of the American environmental landscape. As the first book-length ecocritical study of American theater Earth Matters examines both familiar dramas and lesser-known grassroots plays in an effort to show that theater can be a powerful force for social change from frontier drama of the late nineteenth century to the eco-theater movement. This book argues that theater has always and already been part of the history of environmental ideas and action in the United States. Earth Matters also maps the rise of an ecocritical thought and eco-theater practice – what the author calls ecodramaturgy – showing how theater has informed environmental perceptions and policies. Through key plays and productions it identifies strategies for artists who want their work to contribute to cultural transformation in the face of climate change.

Earth MattersIndigenous Peoples the Extractive Industries and Corporate Social Responsibility Indigenous peoples have historically gained little from large-scale resource development on their traditional lands and have suffered from its negative impacts on their cultures economies and societies. During recent decades indigenous groups and their allies have fought hard to change this situation: in some cases by opposing development entirely; in many others by seeking a fundamental change in the distribution of benefits and costs from resource exploitation. In doing so they have utilised a range of approaches including efforts to win greater recognition of indigenous rights in international fora; pressure for passage of national and state or provincial legislation recognising indigenous land rights and protecting indigenous culture; litigation in national and international courts; and direct political action aimed at governments and developers often in alliance with non-governmental organisations (NGOs).  At the same time and partly in response to these initiatives many of the corporations that undertake large-scale resource exploitation have sought to address concerns regarding the impact of their activities on indigenous peoples by adopting what are generally referred to as "corporate social responsibility" (CSR) policies. This book focuses on such corporate initiatives. It does not treat them in isolation recognising that their adoption and impact is contextual and is related both to the wider social and political framework in which they occur and to the activities and initiatives of indigenous peoples. It does not treat them uncritically recognising that they may in some cases consist of little more than exercises in public relations. However neither does it approach them cynically recognising the possibility that even if CSR policies and activities reflect hard-headed business decisions and indeed perhaps particularly if they do so they can generate significant benefits for indigenous peoples if appropriate accountability mechanisms are in place.  In undertaking an in-depth analysis of CSR and indigenous peoples in the extractive industries the book seeks to answer the following questions. What is the nature and extent of CSR initiatives in the extractive industries and how should they be understood? What motivates companies to pursue CSR policies and activities? How do specific political social and legal contexts shape corporate behaviour? What is the relationship between indigenous political action and CSR? How and to what extent can corporations be held accountable for their policies and actions? Can CSR help bring about a fundamental change in the distribution of benefits and costs from large-scale resource exploitation and if so under what conditions can this occur?  Earth Matters gathers key experts from around the world who discuss corporate initiatives in Alaska Ecuador Australia Canada Peru Papua New Guinea Indonesia and Russia. The book explores the great diversity that characterises initiatives and policies under the name of "corporate social responsibility" the highly contingent and contextual nature of corporate responses to indigenous demands and the complex and evolving nature of indigenous–corporate relations. It also reveals much about the conditions under which CSR can contribute to a redistribution of benefits and costs from large-scale resource development.  Earth Matters will be essential reading for those working in and studying the extractive industry worldwide as well as those readers looking for a state-of-the-art description of how CSR is functioning in perhaps its most difficult setting.

Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design Developments in Earthquake Engineering have focussed on the capacity and response of structures. They often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing of design. It is not enough only to understand the anatomy of the structure you must also appreciate the nature of the likely earthquake. Seismic design as detailed in this book is the bringing together of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design – analyzing various types of earthquake and how they affect structures differently. Understanding the distinction between these earthquake types and their different impacts on buildings can make the difference between whether a building stands or falls or at least to how much it costs to repair. Covering the basis and basics of the major international codes this is the essential guide for professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the world.

Earthquake Hazard AssessmentIndia and Adjacent Regions This book represents a significant contribution to the area of earthquake data processing and to the development of region-specific magnitude correlations to create an up-to-date homogeneous earthquake catalogue that is uniform in magnitude scale. The book discusses seismicity analysis and estimation of seismicity parameters of a region at both finer and broader levels using different methodologies. The delineation and characterization of regional seismic source zones which requires reasonable observation and engineering judgement is another subject covered. Considering the complex seismotectonic composition of a region use of numerous methodologies (DSHA and PSHA) in analyzing the seismic hazard using appropriate instruments such as the logic tree will be elaborated to explicitly account for epistemic uncertainties considering alternative models (for Source model Mmax estimation and Ground motion prediction equations) to estimate the PGA value at bedrock level. Further VS30 characterization based on the topographic gradient to facilitate the development of surface level PGA maps using appropriate amplification factors is discussed. Evaluation of probabilistic liquefaction potential is also explained in the book. Necessary backgrounds and contexts of the aforementioned topics are elaborated through a case study specific to India which features spatiotemporally varied and complex tectonics. The methodology and outcomes presented in this book will be beneficial to practising engineers and researchers working in the fields of seismology and geotechnical engineering in particular and to society in general.

Easels of UtopiaArt's Fact Returned Originally published in 1998 Easels of Utopia presents a discussion of art's duration and contingency within the avant garde's aesthetic parameters which throughout this century have constructed influenced and informed our definitions of modernity. In this context the book reads Umberto Boccioni's Futurism as reminiscent of Thomist realism; proposes Caravaggism's historical relevance to the election of individuality in post-war realism; and draws the readers attention to the aesthetic implications in Carlo Carrà's metaphysical art and its reappraisal of the early Renaissance. Following a contextual analysis of the historic avant-garde in Part One Part Two presents parallel discussions of Italian and British questions articulated by the works of Marino Marini Francis Bacon Renato Guttuso and Stanley Spencer in their return to individuality within art's aesthetic construct. The author argues that this initiates a return to 'lost' beginnings where form seeks knowledge content regains an ability to anarchize and art recognizes its contingent condition.

East Africa The Portuguese appear to have been the first European visitors to encounter East Africa with the arrival of a lone traveller Pero da Covilham in c.1491. Covilham left no account of his experiences so Vasco da Gama had little idea of what to expect when he led his first voyage to the region in 1497. The account of this expedition paints a vivid portrait of the first contacts between Portugal and the coastal peoples of East Africa. This account together with a wealth of carefully selected documents comprise this volume of writings which detail Portugal’s relationship with East Africa from the late fifteenth century through to the seventeenth century. As these documents demonstrate the best Portuguese writers had a deep interest in the African peoples and carefully observed the way their societies worked. The Portuguese in East Africa lived alongside their African subjects and the independent chiefs and to a large extent adopted their life style technology business practices and even their beliefs and customs. This collection of contemporary writings from the period brings to life this extraordinary relationship. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315257167

East and South-East AsiaInternational Relations and Security Perspectives The economic growth of East and South-East Asia in the context of the global financial crisis has strengthened the view that this region is emerging in the 21st century as the most economically vibrant region in the world. With some of the largest economies and generally high economic growth rates compared to the rest of the world it is unsurprising that East and South-East Asia has become the subject of global interest. East Asia’s rise inevitably focuses attention on the issue of China’s emergence as a regional and global power. Such a prospect challenges the current status quo in which the region is dominated by the USA and its regional allies and issues in Sino-US strategic relations have raised global awareness of the need to understand this pivotal region better. In addition the Taiwan issue continues to evoke nationalist sentiments in China and North Korea continues to threaten regional stability. Non-traditional (or alternative) security issues are also of major importance in the region including natural disasters and epidemics as well as challenges relating to human rights and governance transnational crime demographic issues economics and trade and regionalism. This Handbook aims to offer an insight into these issues. The volume is divided into two main sections. The first  International Relations and Security Perspectives  will focus on the international relations of the region paying special attention to the key state players. The chapter contributions will examine the security perspectives and foreign and defence policies of these states as well as key bilateral relationships. The second section will examine key Regional Non-traditional Security Issues including globalization transnational health challenges population growth and the environment. 　   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781857438253

East and West in Comparative EducationSearching for New Perspectives Sparked by global capitalism’s demand for new knowledge and new commodities as well as new logistical systems to deliver them the nature of education has changed significantly. Universities in striving to become a part of this knowledge society have focused on responding to these demands at the expense of the humanities and social sciences. The dominance of this way of thinking primarily a product of Western educational thought has clearly affected approaches to education in the East. The originalities authenticities and unique perspectives of the East have failed to get enough attention subsumed by the focus on science and technology.　However many education systems are still endeavouring to capture some of the indigenous and authentic culture of their home countries incorporating national cultural ideals even in subjects with a primarily vocational focus. Although the drive for scientific knowledge has led to a degree of standardisation and convergence cultural differences still play a role in the education theory and policy of different countries. This book examines these cultural differences between different East Asian and South Asian countries with chapters ranging from historical educational analysis to contemporary re-interpretations of the construction of society and education in the East. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138243712

East Asia and Food (In)Security This book presents a study of perceptions of food insecurity in East Asia and explores how individual countries are developing strategies to deal with the situation. It also looks at how the perception of food insecurity has increasingly influenced the nature of international interactions not just within East Asia but also in the region’s relations with major external actors. Many of the challenges facing East Asia are generic food security issues that face people and governments across the world – for example the implications of climate change and demographic changes on food supplies. This book places the East Asian context in the wider discussion of food (in)security in global politics. However it also identifies potential regional ‘differences’ – for example the significance of rice for the region and the unavoidable impact of China as a major regional player. What the Chinese state and Chinese companies decide to do in response to concerns about food insecurity have an impact not just on the rest of the region but on the rest of the world. Taking too much of a Sinocentric focus however ignores other actors in East Asia or merely relegates discussion to how they respond to Chinese policies or external strategies. This book considers the region as a whole both when it comes to thinking about food security challenges and responses within the region itself and also in the outward projection of regional food insecurity on the rest of the world.

East Asia and the Global Crisis This book traces the impact of the global financial crisis on East Asia and the way that key regional states responded to the crisis. It considers the extent to which the region is decoupling from the global economy (or the West) the impact of crises on the definition of "region" and the effectiveness and functioning of regional institutions and governance mechanisms (including environmental governance). A key focus of the book is the increasing legitimacy of statist alternatives to (neo)liberal development strategies and modes of governance – or perhaps more correctly the extent to which the legitimacy of "western" norms and practices have been delegitimized by the crisis.

East Asia Beyond the History WarsConfronting the Ghosts of Violence East Asia is now the world’s economic powerhouse but ghosts of history continue to trouble relations between the key countries of the region particularly between Japan China and the two Koreas. Unhappy legacies of Japan’s military expansion in pre-war Asia prompt on-going calls for apologies while conflicts over ownership of cultural heritage cause friction between China and Korea and no peace treaty has ever been signed to conclude the Korean War. For over a decade the region’s governments and non-government groups have sought to confront the ghosts of the past by developing paths to reconciliation. Focusing particularly on popular culture and grassroots action East Asia beyond the History Wars explores these East Asian approaches to historical reconciliation. This book examines how Korean historians from North and South exchange ideas about national history how Chinese film-makers reframe their views of the war with Japan and how Japanese social activists develop grassroots reconciliation projects with counterparts from Korea and elsewhere. As the volume’s studies of museums monuments and memorials show East Asian public images of modern history are changing but change is fragile and uncertain. This unfinished story of East Asia’s search for historical reconciliation has important implications for the study of popular memory worldwide. Presenting a fresh perspective on reconciliation which draws on both history and cultural studies this book will be welcomed by students and scholars working in the fields of Asian history Asian culture and society as well as those interested in war and memory studies more generally.

East Asian Art History in a Transnational Context This is the first comprehensive English-language study of East Asian art history in a transnational context and challenges the existing geographic temporal and generic paradigms that currently frame the art history of East Asia. This pioneering study proposes an important new framework that focuses on the relationship between China Japan and Korea. By reconsidering existing concepts of ‘East Asia’ and examining the porousness of boundaries in East Asian art history the study proposes a new model for understanding trans-local artistic production – in particular the mechanics of interactions – at the turn of the 20th century.

East Asian Development ModelTwenty-first century perspectives Given the impressive growth in East Asia after World War II initially led by Japan the region's development models have been scrutinized since the 1980s. The shared Confucian cultural heritage strong government guidance and export led economies were often cited as contributors to the impressive growth. However major changes have taken place in Asia on and around the turn of the century: Japan experienced two decades of economic slow-down while World Bank figures reveal that China is poised to become the largest economy in the world in 2014 overtaking the United States. Bearing this in mind is it even possible to formulate an East Asian development model in the context of a shifting twenty-first century? And if so what is it? This book addresses this issue by looking at the economic political and cultural perspectives of China Japan and South Korea focusing on dynamism and potential consensus regarding an East Asian development model. The chapters offer a historical background to the East Asian development model as well as in-depth case studies of each of the countries concerned to show that whilst the East Asian development model does have distinct characteristics as compared with other areas and other countries may draw some insights from the East Asian experience it is not a panacea that fits all circumstances and fits all times. This book will be welcomed by students and scholars of Asian economics Asian politics international political economy and development studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138295254

East Asian LawUniversal Norms and Local Cultures This work explores the tension in East Asia between the trend towards a convergence of legal practices in the direction of a universal model and a reassertion of local cultural practices. The trend towards convergence arises in part from 'globalisation' from 'rule of law programs' promulgated by institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank and from widespread migration in the region whilst the opposing trend arises in part from moves to resist such 'globalisation'. This book explores a wide range of issues related to this key problem covering China in particular where resolving differences in conceptions about the rule of law is a key issue as China begins to integrate itself into the World Trade Organisation regime.

East Asia's Demand for Energy Minerals and FoodThe International Politics of Resources China Japan and South Korea’s international relations are shaped by the fact that all three countries are significant importers of resources. This book brings together work on specific aspects of the politics of resources for each of these countries regionally and internationally. There are some similarities in the approaches taken by all these three. For example their development assistance shares a focus on infrastructure building and reluctance to purposefully influence domestic politics. However there are also significant differences due in large part to the individual nature of the states as international actors. China has significant domestic supplies of resources while Japan and Korea are net importers. China’s size also marks it out as different as does its state socialist history and continuing authoritarian state. One of the key issues to understanding contemporary resource politics in Northeast Asia is that Western dominance of the world order is currently declining. In some cases Northeast Asian approaches to resources are seen as being mercantilist. In other cases Northeast Asian powers are seen as replacing Western powers in exploiting resource-rich developing countries. This book gives readers an informed view of this very important issue in contemporary international relations.This book was published as a special issue of Asian Studies Review.

East End Underworld (1981)Chapters in the Life of Arthur Harding First published in 1981 this book examines the life of Arthur Harding a well-known figure in the East End underworld during the first half of the twentieth century. The first five chapters survey his life in the ‘Jago’ slum between 1887 and 1896 offering a different view of an often vilified district. The subsequent phases of his life as a cabinet-maker street trader and wardrobe dealer reflect the changing fortunes of the East End from hand-to-mouth conditions in the late-nineteenth century to comparative security in the 1930s. The reader is introduced to some of the major features of East End life — back-street enterprise neighbourhood solidarity politics and popular culture. Among the many themes that can be traced are the relationship between the underworld and the local working-class community; the collusive understanding established between villains and the police; the effects of the criminalisation of street betting; and the relationship between Jews non-Jews and what the author terms ‘half-jews’ in a district of high immigration. Drawn from transcripts of recorded reminiscences this book provides an important text for understanding the political economy of crime — extended by the authors extensive footnotes and a preface discussing the peculiar moral complexion of south-west Bethnal Green.

East German Foreign IntelligenceMyth Reality and Controversy This edited book examines the East German foreign intelligence service (Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung or HVA) as a historical problem covering politics scientific-technical and military intelligence and counterintelligence. The contributors broaden the conventional view of East German foreign intelligence as driven by the inter-German conflict to include its targeting of the United States  northern European and Scandinavian countries highlighting areas that have previously received scant attention like scientific-technical and military intelligence. The CIA’s underestimation of the HVA was a major intelligence failure.

East Meets West - Banking Commerce and Investment in the Ottoman Empire Bringing together cultural economic and social historians from across Europe and beyond this volume offers a consideration from a number of perspectives of the principal forces that further integrated the Ottoman Empire and Western Europe during the first century of industrialisation. The essays not only review and analyse the commercial financial and monetary factors negative as well as positive that bore upon the region's initial stages of modern transformation but also provide a ready introduction to major aspects of the economy and society of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century. Beginning with two chapters providing the context to the development of Ottoman relations with Western Europe up to the second half of the nineteenth century the collection then moves on to explore more specific questions of trade links the impact of improved transportation and communications the development and changing nature of Ottoman finance and banking as well as European investment in Turkey. The outcome is a broad ranging consideration of how all these issues played a fundamental role in the final decades of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of Turkey as a modern state with links to both east and west. The essays in this collection derive from the EABFH colloquium held in the Imperial Mint Istanbul in October 1999. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138265738

East of ExistentialismThe Tao of the West First published in 1990 East of Existentialism was written to explore new perspectives on eternal questions such as ‘Who am I?’ ‘Why am I here?’ and ‘Where am I going?’. The book brings together insights from existentialism in the West and Hinduism Buddhism and Taoism in the East and presents practical case studies throughout to show the student how apparently abstruse themes relate to real-life situations. Divided into three parts the first considers major Western contributions to the themes of human nature and destiny. The central section examines the connection between existentialism in the West and dominant philosophical schools in India and China. The last three chapters explore the relevance of Eastern ideas to Western thought not only to provide philosophical theory but also to offer a greater understanding of moral and social dilemmas and of practical living. A full glossary explains the technical terms used in the book. East of Existentialism will appeal to those with an interest in philosophy and religious studies.

East Plays WestSport and the Cold War The Cold War spanned some five decades from the devastation that remained after World War Two until the fall of the Berlin wall and for much of that time the perception was that only on the Eastern side were politics and sport inextricably linked. However this assumption underestimates the extent to which sport was an important symbol for both power blocs in their ongoing ideological struggle. This collection of essays from leading international authorities on sport culture and ideology brings together an impressive body of work organized around key political themes and outstanding moments in sport and is at once a political history of sport and an illuminating new perspective on the forces that shaped this unsettled time.

East to West MigrationRussian Migrants in Western Europe The collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe brought widespread fear of a 'tidal wave' of immigrants from the East into Western Europe. Quite apart from the social and political importance East-West migration also poses a challenge to established theories of migration as in most cases the migrant flow cannot be categorised as either refugee movement or a labour migration. Indeed much of the trans-border movement is not officially recognised as many migrants are temporary commuting 'tourists' or illegal and remain invisible to the authorities. This book focuses on Russian migration into Western Europe following the break-up of the Soviet Union. Helen Kopnina explores the concept of 'community' through an examination of the lives of Russian migrants in two major European cities London and Amsterdam. In both cases Kopnina finds an 'invisible community' inadequately defined in existing literature. Arguing that Russian migrants are highly diverse both socially and in terms of their views and adaptation strategies Kopnina uncovers a community divided by mutual antagonisms prompting many to reject the idea of belonging to a community at all. Based on extensive interviews this fascinating and unique ethnographic account of the 'new migration' challenges the underlying assumptions of traditional migration studies and post-modern theories. It provides a powerful critique for the study of new migrant groups in Western Europe and the wider process of European identity formation. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367604264

Eastern and Western Ideas for African GrowthDiversity and Complementarity in Development Aid The West and the East approach economic development differently. The Europeans and Americans stress free and fair business climate promoting private activities generally without picking winners and improving governance. East Asia is interested in achieving concrete results and projects rather than formal correctness prioritizing a few sectors for industrialization and eventual graduation from aid. The West mostly shapes shifting strategies of the international donor community while the East has in reality made remarkable progress in industrial catch-up. The two approaches cannot be merged easily but they can be used in proper combination to realize growth and economic transformation. This book proposes more dialogue and complementarity between the two in the development effort of Africa and other regions. In this collected volume contributed by experts and practitioners from both East and West the need to introduce Eastern ideas to the global development strategy is emphasized. Analysis of British and other Western donor policies is given while Japanese Korean and other Asian approaches are also explained with concrete examples. The concept of governance for growth is presented and the impact of rising China on development studies is contemplated. The practices of industrial policy dialogues and actions assisted by East Asian experts are reported from Tunisia Zambia Ethiopia Rwanda and others. The book should be applicable to all donors institutions NGOs and business enterprises engaged in development cooperation. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138914773

Eastern Europe 1945-1969From Stalinism to Stagnation Here is an essential short guide to the history of Eastern Europe under the early decades of communist rule. The study explores the communists attempt to transpose a uniform economic and social system across the region copied from the Soviet model. Dr Fowkes shows how this did not always succeed and he reveals the local variations which became more pronounced after the death of Stalin. The book includes detailed analysis of the dramatic events in Poland and Hungary and in the assessment section there is a useful summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the communist model in its heyday. It is an illuminating study full of maps and photographs as well as over 30 documents (most previously unavailable in English) which brings this complex subject alive. and helps us to understand the special conditions the people of the region have faced in catching up with the West both in terms of material prosperity and more recently in the establishment of democratic political systems.

Eastern Europe Since 1970Decline of Socialism to Post-Communist Transition From the hardening grip of Soviet domination under Brezhnev to the collapse of communism and its aftermath Bulent Gokay provides the essential introduction to Eastern Europe in the last quarter of the twentieth century.  The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 spelt the end of reformist communism and the tightening of Soviet control throughout Eastern Europe. In spite of this several countries within the Soviet Bloc managed to retain varying degrees of independence over the next two decades. Focusing on the struggle towards economic and social modernisation in the region and the competing influences of East and West in a dangerous Cold War. Bulent Gokay shows how individual circumstances and diverse national characteristics made a uniform application of the Soviet model impossible and charts the growing resistance to domination and the momentous events which finally toppled Soviet power in the region.

Eastern European AdoptionPolicies Practice and Strategies for Change Between 1990 and 2006 more than 76 000 children born in Eastern Europe were adopted into American families. Almost two-thirds of these children came from Russia. And in contrast to children adopted from Korea China Central America and South America most of the Russian children were not infants but between one and four years old. This volume addresses adoption policies and practices as they pertain to adopted children from Eastern Europe children who have histories of "pre-adoption adversity." Drawing on her decade-long experience as an adoptive parent of siblings born in Russia and her expertise as an applied sociologist Josephine Ruggiero examines the central issues involved in international adoptions focusing on older children as well as siblings and suggesting needed changes in policy and practice.Regardless of whether children are adopted domestically or internationally age is a significant factor in their ability to adjust to and function well in their new families. Only about three in ten Russian adoptees joined their new families as infants. Pre-adoption experiences are also significant factors in a child's ability to adjust and function well in a new family. Countries differ in risk factors that may figure into the likelihood of adoptees adapting to life in a new family. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome serious medical conditions emotional problems behavioral problems attachment issues learning disabilities and exposure to family violence must be considered as potential risk factors in adoptions. Pre-adoption adversity is less likely when children come from birth families that are economically poor but have bonded with them.At a time when adoption has finally "come out of the closet" and the definition of the family is changing dramatically Eastern European Adoption takes a much-needed look at current adoption policies and practices and how well they do or do not work. Ruggiero draws on the literature on older-child and sibling adoption and data from a questionnaire survey she designed and conducted with 121 adoptive parents. Ruggiero's examples from real adoptive families give a human face to the issues needs and strategies she discusses. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138509344

Eastern European Railways in TransitionNineteenth to Twenty-first Centuries During the nineteenth century railway lines spread rapidly across Europe linking the continent in ways unimaginable to previous generations. By the beginning of the twentieth century the great cities of the continent were linked by a complex and extensive rail network. Yet this high-point of interconnectivity was abruptly cut-off after 1945 as the Cold War built barriers - both physical and ideological - between east and west. In this volume leading transport history scholars take a fresh look at this situation and the ramifications it had for Europe. As well as addressing the parallel development of railways either side of the Iron Curtain the book looks at how transport links have been reconnected and reconfigured in the twenty years since the reunification of Europe. In particular it focuses upon the former communist countries and how they have responded to the challenges and opportunities railways offer both nationally and internationally. Including contributions from historians researchers policy makers representatives of railway companies and railway museum staff the essays in this collection touch upon a rich range of subjects. Divided into four sections: 'The Historical Overview' 'Under Russian Protection' After the Fall of the Iron Curtain and 'The Heritage of Railways in Eastern Europe' the volume offers a broadly chronological introduction to the issue that provides both a snap-shot of current debates and a starting point for further research. It concludes that in an era of increased globalisation and interconnectivity - and despite the rise of air and road transport and virtual methods of communication - railways still have a crucial role to play in the development of a prosperous and connected Europe.

Eastern Partnership: A New Opportunity for the Neighbours? This volume offers a collective assessment of the development and impact of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership Initiative on its eastern neighbours - Belarus Ukraine and Moldova in particular with Russia’s added perspective. Founded on extensive empirical and conceptual research the volume uniquely bridges the perspectives of all parties across the EU’s eastern border in an attempt to understand advantages and problems related to the effective implementation of the EU policies in the eastern region. The undertaken research points to the prevalence of the top-down and conditional governance approach in EU treatment of the outsiders which is not only Eurocentric and prescriptive in nature but also falls short of the declared partnership principles. Without the understanding of partners’ internal dilemmas and needs which could only be achieved through the equivalence and reciprocity of partnership the EU would struggle to make the policy effective and legitimate in the region and to buttress its reputation as a ‘credible force for good’ on the international arena. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415847209

Eastern Rome and the Rise of IslamHistory and Prophecy The emergence of Islam in the seventh century AD still polarises scholars who seek to separate religious truth from the historical reality with which it is associated. However history and prophecy are not solely defined by positive evidence or apocalyptic truth but by human subjects who consider them to convey distinct messages and in turn make these messages meaningful to others. These messages are mutually interdependent and analysed together provide new insights into history. It is by way of this concept that Olof Heilo presents the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire as a key to understanding the rise of Islam; two historical processes often perceived as distinct from one another. Eastern Rome and the Rise of Islam highlights significant convergences between Early Islam and the Late Ancient world. It suggests that Islam’s rise is a feature of a common process during which tensions between imperial ambitions and apocalyptic beliefs in Europe and the Middle East cut straight across today’s theological and political definitions. The conquests of Islam the emergence of the caliphate and the transformation of the Roman and Christian world are approached from both prophetic anticipations in the Ancient and Late Ancient world and from the Medieval and Modern receptions of history. In the shadow of their narratives it becomes possible to trace the outline of a shared history of Christianity and Islam. The "Dark Ages" thus emerge not merely as a tale of sound and fury but as an era of openness diversity and unexpected possibilities. Approaching the rise of Islam as a historical phenomenon this book opens new perspectives in the study of early religion and philosophy as well as providing a valuable resource for students and scholars of Islamic Studies.

Eastern Trade and the Mediterranean in the Middle AgesPegolotti’s Ayas-Tabriz Itinerary and its Commercial Context At the end of the High Middle Ages in Europe with buying power and economic sophistication at a high an itinerary detailing the toll stations along a commercial artery carrying eastern goods (from China India and Iran) towards Europe was compiled and later incorporated in the well-known trading manual of the Florentine bank official Pegolotti; Pegolotti was twice stationed in the city of Famagusta in Cyprus which lay opposite the city of Ayas where the land route ended. The Il-Khanid capital Tabriz in Iran attracting expensive merchandise such as spices and silk from a variety of origins was the road’s starting-point. To demonstrate the importance of the route in its own time parallel and contemporary routes in the Black Sea and the Levant are traced and the effect of trade on their cities noted. To compare the Ayas itinerary (1250s to 1330s) with previous periods the networks of commercial avenues in the previous period (1100-1250) and the subsequent one (1340s to 1500) are reconstructed. In each period the connection of east-west trade with the main movements of the European economy are fully drawn out and the effects on the building history of the three main Italian cities concerned (Venice Genoa and Florence) are sketched. Attention then turns to the Pegolotti itinerary itself. The individual toll stations are identified employing a variety of means such as names taken from the Roman itineraries (Peutinger Table and Antonine Itinerary) and archaeological data; this allows the course of the track to be followed through diverse topography to the city of Sivas then across plains and through passes to Erzurum and finally to Tabriz. A picture is drawn of the urban history of each major city including Sivas Erzurum and Tabriz itself and of the other towns along the route. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780754665168

Eastern Values; Western MilieuIdentities and Aspirations of Adolescent British Muslim Girls In this book Tehmina Basit examines the educational social and career aspirations of adolescent Muslim girls in the context of their present experiences in contemporary Britain. She gathered data for the study over a period of twenty months mainly by in-depth interviewing. The book portrays adolescence as a period of hope and expectation rather than a time of stress confusion and rebellion. The girls are optimistic about the future and though largely working class have middle class aspirations which they hope to realize through the mediums of education and careers. Nevertheless they also want to get married and have children. While the girls’ aspirations are partly being shaped by the views of their parents and teachers they are not replicating the lives of their parents and teachers. Indeed they are active participants in shaping their own multiple identities and aspirations by means of a subtle combination of negotiation and persuasion.

Eastern WesternsFilm and Genre Outside and Inside Hollywood The western one of Hollywood’s great film genres has surprisingly enjoyed a revival recently in Asia and in other parts of the world whilst at the same time declining in America. Although the western is often seen as an example of American cultural dominance this book challenges this view. It considers the western from an Asian perspective exploring why the rise of Asian westerns has come about and examining how its aesthetics styles and politics have evolved as a result. It analyses specific Asian Westerns as well as Westerns made elsewhere including in Australia Europe and Hollywood to demonstrate how these employ Asian philosophical and mythical ideas and value systems. The book concludes that the western is a genre which is truly global and not one that that is purely intrinsic to America. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138595569

Easternization of the WestA Thematic Account of Cultural Change in the Modern Era In this provocative and groundbreaking book Colin Campbell shows that the civilization of the West is undergoing a revolutionary process of change one in which features that have characterized the West for two thousand years are in the process of being marginalized to be replaced by those more often associated with the civilizations of the East. Moving far beyond popular trends Campbell assembles a powerful range of evidence to show how "Easternization" has been building throughout the last century especially since the 1960s. Campbell demonstrates how it was largely in the 1960s that new interpretations in theology political thought and science were widely adopted by a new generation of young "culture carriers." This highly original and wide-ranging book advances a thesis that will be of interest to scholars in many disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

EasternizationThe Spread of Japanese Management Techniques to Developing Countries Japanese industry has shown its superiority in a range of traded goods sectors. It was thought that this competitive advantage arose from the use of electronics-based flexible automation technologies but it is now clear that the major source of this industrial strength is in the development and diffusion of new management techniques such as just-in-time production and total quality management.<BR>A number of Western firms have begun to introduce these management techniques and have begun to reap significant benefits not just in lowering costs but also in improving product variety and quality and in being able to satisfy customer needs more effectively.

East-West Business Collaboration (Routledge Revivals)The Challenge of Governance in Post-Socialist Enterprises Corporate governance is an area of key importance for students of comparative management and international business. This is particularly relevant in analyses of the post-socialist economies of the East where both governments and enterprises have undergone major structural transformation. This title was first published in 1994 following the Centre for Organisational Studies’ (COS) third Round Table which discussed East-West business collaboration in relation to the management of organizations. As a result the edited collection is designed to provide guidance for managers in the East and West to the kind of governance issues they might face when working together in the post-Soviet business world. Utilizing a series of case studies the chapters represent a genuine dialogue between managers consultants and academics who have worked on both sides of the former ideological divide.

Easy AThe End of the High-School Teen Comedy? Easy A (2010) is the last significant box-office success in the high-school teen movie subgenre and a film that has already been deemed a ‘classic’ by many cultural commentators and popular film critics. By applying interdisciplinary insight to a relatively overlooked movie in academic discussion Easy A: The End of the High-School Teen Comedy? is the first in-depth volume that places the movie within several key contexts and concepts of intertextuality gender genre and adaptation and social discourse. Through the unpacking of a complex narrative that draws its plot from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter (1850) and shares affinities with John Hughes’ paradigmatic films from the 1980s and key films from the 1990s this volume presents Easy A as a palimpsest for the millennial generation. Clear and comprehensive the book argues that Easy A marks the end of the commercially successful high-school teen comedy and discusses the reasons through a comparative synchronic and semi-diachronic historical comparison of the film with contemporary cinematic texts and those of the 1980s and 1990s.

Eat Drink and Be Merry (Luke 12:19) – Food and Wine in ByzantiumPapers of the 37th Annual Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies In Honour This volume brings together a group of scholars to consider the rituals of eating together in the Byzantine world the material culture of Byzantine food and wine consumption and the transport and exchange of agricultural products. The contributors present food in nearly every conceivable guise ranging from its rhetorical uses - food as a metaphor for redemption; food as politics; eating as a vice abstinence as a virtue - to more practical applications such as the preparation of food processing it preserving it and selling it abroad. We learn how the Byzantines viewed their diet and how others - including surprisingly the Chinese - viewed it. Some consider the protocols of eating in a monastery of dining in the palace or of roughing it on a picnic or military campaign; others examine what serving dishes and utensils were in use in the dining room and how this changed over time. Throughout the terminology of eating - and especially some of the more problematic terms - is explored. The chapters expand on papers presented at the 37th Annual Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies held at the University of Birmingham under the auspices of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies in honour of Professor A.A.M. Bryer a fitting tribute for the man who first told the world about Byzantine agricultural implements. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315257112

Eating Traditional FoodPolitics identity and practices Due to its centrality in human activities food is a meaningful object that necessarily participates in any cultural social and ideological construction and its qualification as 'traditional' is a politically laden value. This book demonstrates that traditionality as attributed to foods goes beyond the notions of heritage and authenticity under which it is commonly formulated. Through a series of case studies from a global range of cultural and geographical areas the book explores a variety of contexts to reveal the complexity behind the attribution of the term 'traditional' to food. In particular the volume demonstrates that the definitions put forward by programmes such as TRUEFOOD and EuroFIR (and subsequently adopted by organisations including FAO) which have analysed the perception of traditional foods by individuals  do not adequately reflect this complexity. The concept of tradition being deeply ingrained culturally socially politically and ideologically traditional foods resist any single definition. Chapters analyse the processes of valorisation instrumentalisation and reinvention at stake in the construction and representation of a food as traditional. Overall the book offers fresh perspectives on topics including definition and regulation nationalism and identity and health and nutrition and will be of interest to students and researchers of many disciplines including anthropology sociology politics and cultural studies.

Eccentric ExercisePhysiology and application in sport and rehabilitation Eccentric muscle contraction during which a muscle lengthens while under tension is a fundamental process of human movement but a surprisingly under-researched area of exercise science. Evidence suggests that training programmes which incorporate both eccentric and concentric contractions can result in greater strength gains than concentric contractions alone and this clearly has important implications for training and rehabilitation in sport and health. In Eccentric Exercise leading international sport scientist Hans Hoppeler introduces the fundamental physiology and pathophysiology of eccentric muscle work and explores the key applications of eccentric exercise in sport rehabilitation and health. The book examines the molecular mechanisms responsible for tissue and organismic adaptations and discusses eccentric muscle-related pathology specifically delayed onset muscle soreness. It assesses the use of eccentric exercise training in the treatment of certain disease states such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease heart insufficiency and sarcopenia while a concluding chapter points to open research questions shows the limits of the available data and highlights problems with current exercise modalities. This book is important reading for all sport and exercise scientists clinicians working in rehabilitation and high-level strength and conditioning coaches and trainers.

Eccentric PropositionsEssays on Literature and the Curriculum Originally published in 1984. This book charts important changes　brought about by teachers in the way literature is read and written about in schools. Rooted in experiences of inner-city schools it is extremely practical and especially valuable for the multi-ethnic classroom. The writers all of whom are experienced teachers of English believe however that all schools need to respond to the cultural racial and linguistic diversity of British society whether their own populations are homogeneous or mixed. By concentrating on real classrooms real lessons and real children the book shows how particular ideas can be put into practice. It approaches theories of reading and of literature through specific examples of lively and successful practice and argues the ease for the centrality of literature and literacy to the curriculum. The book includes lists of resources: books to read with children and books for teachers to read for themselves to deepen their understanding of the ideas and their confidence in adapting them for their own classrooms. Throughout the book continuities are emphasized: between life and literature between reading and writing and between learning to read becoming better at it and studying literature.

Ecclesial Leadership as Friendship When it comes to talking about the activity of directing the church the language of leadership and leaders is increasingly popular. Yet what is leadership – and how might theological narratives better resource the discourse and practice of leadership in ecclesial contexts? In identifying and critiquing managerialism as a dominant narrative of leadership in the Western church this book calls for an alternative approach founded on the concept of friendship. Engaging with the wider field of leadership studies the book establishes an understanding of leadership activity and brings it into conversation with an incarnational ecclesiology. The result is a prophetic reimagining of ecclesial leadership in terms of a relational kenotic praxis. This praxis of mutuality and love is framed here in the rich language of Christian friendship. The book also wrestles deeply with the embodiment of such a praxis making explicit the power behaviours typical of friendship-leadership and offering constructive guidance for practitioners in the task of implementation within a complex and fractured world. This book offers a new vision of the centrality of friendship to leadership of a healthy church community. As such it will be of great use to scholars of practical theology ecclesiology and leadership as well as practitioners in church ministry. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367028930

Ecclesial Mediation in Karl Barth Karl Barth is widely considered the greatest theologian of the Twentieth Century exerting a major influence in almost every area of theological thought in both Reformation and Roman Catholic traditions. Ecclesial Mediation in Karl Barth deals with one of the most important and controversial themes in Barth's theology the relation between divine and human action. John Yocum argues that Barth's late rejection of the concept of sacrament explicated in the final volume of his Church Dogmatics is not only at odds with his account of the nature and importance of sacraments presented earlier in the Church Dogmatics but subverts important elements of his theology as a whole especially the mediation of divine grace in preaching and the Bible. Bringing Barth into fruitful dialogue with Yves Congar Yocum contends that the notion of sacrament is crucial to an account of the divine-human relation that respects the character of both agents.

Ecclesiastes and the Riddle of Authorship In Ecclesiastes the authorial voice of Qohelet presents an identity that has challenged readers for centuries. This book offers a reception history of the different ways readers have constructed Qohelet as an author. Previous reception histories of Ecclesiastes group readings into "premodern" and "critical " or separate Jewish from Christian readings. In deliberate contrast this analysis arranges readings thematically according to the interpretive potential inherent in the text a method of biblical reception history articulated by Brennan Breed. Doing so erases the artificial distinctions between so-called scholarly and confessional readings and highlights the fact that many modern academic readings of the authorship of Ecclesiastes travel in well-worn interpretive paths that long predate the rise of critical scholarship. Thus this book offers a reminder that while critical biblical scholarship is an essential part of the interpretive task academic readings are themselves indebted to the Bible’s reception history and a part of it.

Ecclesiastical Law Clergy and LaityA History of Legal Discipline and the Anglican Church Discipline in an ecclesiastical context can be defined as the power of a church to maintain order among its members on issues of morals or doctrine. This book presents a scholarly engagement with the way in which legal discipline has evolved within the Church of England since 1688. It explores how the Church of England unusually among Christian churches has come to be without means of effective legal discipline in matters of controversy whether liturgical doctrinal or moral. The author excludes matters of blatant scandal to focus on issues where discipline has been attempted in controversial matters focussing on particular cases. The book makes connections between law the state of the Church and the underlying theology of justice and freedom. At a time when doctrinal controversy is widespread across all Christian traditions it is argued that the Church of England has an inheritance here in need of cherishing and sharing with the universal Church.The book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers in the areas of law and religion and ecclesiastical history. .

Contrary to the views espoused by a number of prominent historians of technology since the 1930s the book demonstrates that patterns of mill acquisition innovation and exploitation were shaped not only by the size wealth and distribution of a house’s estates but also by environmental and demographic factors changing cultural attitudes and legal conventions prevailing and emergent technical traditions the personal relations of a house with its patrons tenants servants and neighbours and the entrepreneurial and administrative flair of bishops abbots priors and other ecclesiastical officials.

ECESIS: An Interregional Economic-Demographic Model of the United States Originally published in 1989. ECESIS consists of 51 regional econometric models (one for each state and the District of Columbia) and a multiregional demographic model. Its distinguishing feature is the linking of sophisticated demographic accounts with sophisticated structural econometric models. This book looking at how strong the interactions are between population dynamics and economic activity determines to what extent the simultaneous economic-demographic interregional model provides improved projection and simulation properties over regional economic and demographic models used independently of one another.

Echinoderms in a Changing WorldProceedings of the 13th International Echinoderm Conference January 5-9 2009 University of Tasmania Hobart Echinoderms are an ancient and diverse group of marine animals with a rich fossil record. They occur abundantly in all modern oceans and at all depths where they contribute importantly to patterns in biodiversity and to the structure and functioning of marine systems.  It is therefore vital to understand how they will respond to a rapidly changing ocean climate and other anthropogenic stressors informed by both the dynamics of the fossil record and responses of extant species. The theme of the 13th International Echinoderm Conference (Hobart Tasmania 5-9 January 2009) was the response of echinoderms to global change. Echinoderms in a Changing World contains a selection of plenary and contributed papers and a comprehensive presentation of abstracts of all oral papers and posters. The collection will be useful to all students of echinoderm biology ecology and palaeontology from undergraduate level to professional researchers.

Echnology Assessment in Software Applications This volume offers an expansion of ideas presented at a recent conference convened to identify the major strategies and more promising practices for assessing technology. The authors -- representing government business and university sectors -- helped to set the boundaries of present technology assessment by offering perspectives from computer science cognitive and military psychology and education. Their work explores both the use of techniques to assess technology and the use of technology to facilitate the assessment process. The book's main purpose is to portray the state of the art in technology assessment and to provide conceptual options to help readers understand the power of technology. Technological innovation will continue to develop its own standards of practice and effectiveness. To the extent that these practices are empirically based designers supporters and consumers will be given better information for their decisions. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315044682

Echoes of UtopiaStudies in the Legacy of Marx This title was first published in 2000. A 'generous soul' with 'ideas of genius' but a 'puerile idolater - Marx and his legacy remains an important focus for philosophers economists political scientists and others but is Marxism dead and best forgotten or is its relevance undiminished? Echoes of Utopia sets out to explore the relevance of Marxism in the contemporary world through economic political and human dimensions. Combining philosophical analysis of central economic and political concepts with an historically based examination of the unfolding of the twentieth century global economy  the author explores the work of Marx as well as two of his most trenchant critics Schumpeter and Weil. While critical of that central pillar of Marxism the labour theory of value the author concludes that some of Marx's ideas especially those concerning over-production under-consumption crises planning and international democratic governance are more relevant than ever in today's world of economic political and environmental turbulence.

Echoes of WarThe Story of H2S Radar August 1939 was a time of great flux. The fear of impending war fueled by the aggression of Nazi Germany forced many changes. Young people pursuing academic research were plunged into an entirely different kind of research and development. For Bernard Lovell the war meant involvement in one of the most vital research projects of the war-radar. Echoes of War: The Story of H2S Radar presents a passionate first-hand account of the development of the Home Sweet Home (H2S) radar systems during World War II. The book provides numerous personal insights into the scientific culture of wartime Britain and details the many personal sacrifices setbacks and eventual triumphs made by those actively involved. Bernard Lovell began his work on airborne interception radar in Taffy Bowen's airborne radar group. He was involved in the initial development of the application of the 10 centimeter cavity magnetron to airborne radar that revolutionized radar systems. In the autumn of 1941 the failure of Bomber Command to locate its target over the cloudy skies of Europe prompted the formation of a new group to develop a blind bombing system. Led by Lovell this group developed the H2S radar system to identify towns and other targets at night or during heavy cloud cover. H2S first saw operational use with the Pathfinder Squadrons in the attack on Hamburg during the night of January 30-31 1943. Two months later modified H2S units installed in Coastal Command aircraft operating over the Bay of Biscay had a dramatic tactical effect on the air war against U-boats. The tide had begun to turn. In this fascinating chronicle of the H2S radar project Sir Bernard Lovell recreates the feel and mood of the wartime years. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367403058

EchoismThe Silenced Response to Narcissism This book introduces the importance of echoism as a clinical entity and a theoretical concept. In Ovid's version of the myth of Echo and Narcissus the character Echo receives equal attention to her counterpart Narcissus yet she has been completely marginalised in the pervasive literatures on narcissism. The author draws upon her work with patients who have experienced relationships with narcissistic partners or parents and have developed a particular configuration of object relations and ways of relating for which she uses the term echoism. She uses psychoanalytic theory and existential philosophical ideas to underpin her formulations and inform her clinical thinking. Donnna Savery explores the question 'Am I an Echoist?' and introduces the concept of Echoism in the following YouTube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEyjolXL7lA Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781782204831

Eckweek Peasedown St John SomersetSurvey and Excavations at a Shrunken Medieval Hamlet 1988–90 This volume presents the results of archaeological survey and excavation at Eckweek Somerset which yielded one of the most important medieval rural settlement sequences yet excavated from south-west England. At the centre of the narrative is a succession of well-preserved buildings spanning the late 10th to the 14th centuries A.D. forming the nucleus of a Domesday manor and its Late Saxon precursor. Detailed analysis of the structural sequence offers a new regional perspective on pre-Conquest earthfast timber architecture and its subsequent (12th-century) replacement by masonry traditions. Culminating in a richly preserved 14th-century farmhouse including a very complete assemblage of structural and domestic objects the structural archaeology provides an unusually refined picture of the internal organisation of later medieval domestic space within a rural farming setting. Detailed analytical attention is given to the abundant artefactual and environmental datasets recovered from the excavations (including prolific assemblages of medieval pottery and palaeonvironmental data) with a nuanced appraisal of their interpretative implications. Anyone with an interest in the dynamics and regional complexity of medieval rural communities will find this a stimulating and enlightening read. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367860318

Eclectic Views on Gay Male PornographyPornucopia A unique multifaceted look at the meaning (and the specifics) of gay male pornographyOpen any “gay lifestyle” magazine (even the serious ones) or go to any gay bar and you’re likely to encounter something related to pornography be it an image of a porn “superstar” or advertisements for pornographic magazines DVDs calendars etc. Eclectic Views on Gay Male Pornography Pornucopia examines this phenomenon with a series of provocative essays in which experts in history law media studies and psychology as well as laypeople and gay porn insiders explore the complex world of male pornography and the various ways in which it has permeated gay culture—from the 1970s until today.This first-of-its-kind book examines the phenomenon of self-writing and performance for gay men in the last century specifically looking at the lives of modern-day performance artist Tim Miller who has received national recognition for his one-man shows portraying his struggles as a gay man; Wakefield Poole (born 1936) the first producer of gay pornography (Bijou Boys in the Sand) in the era accompanying the emergence of the gay rights movement; gay adult film icon Scott “Spunk” O’Hara (born 1961); and Aaron Lawrence (born 1971) who worked as a gay escort actor and producer/director of his own sexually explicit “amateur” videos.In this groundbreaking analysis of gay men’s relationship with pornography you’ll also learn about: gay pornography and the messages it carries about intimacy body image and hegemonic masculinity representations of ethnicity in gay pornography gay pornography and safer sex gay pornography and censorship viewers’ perceptions of gay pornography gay pornography and internalized homophobia misogyny and body fascism changes in the way gay pornography is produced and performed—from the 1970s through the 1990s the meaning of the recurring settings in American gay pornographic videos: prison the military and other all-male environments; and recurring themes: leather S/M dissatisfaction with heterosexual life initiation into gay life etc. In addition Eclectic Views on Gay Male Pornography presents two fascinating chapters about the case of Little Sisters Book and Art Emporium in Vancouver. In this landmark case the Canadian Supreme Court was asked to determine whether gay male pornography violated the sex equality protections guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The court also examined the way that Canada Customs treats international shipments to gay and lesbian bookstores. In addition the book provides a revealing insider’s perspective on the gay adult video industry that contrasts the workaday reality of making porn with the glamorous mythology of the skin trade.

Eco and Low-Carbon New Towns in ChinaSustainability Transformation in the Making This book examines the sustainability transition theory in the context of urbanization in China tracing the development of eco and low-carbon cities. It examines how ideas on building eco-cities and low-carbon cities travel from nation to nation how they are adopted in the Chinese administrative context and what role inter-scalar actors play in getting the ideas transferred translated and operationalized on the ground. Offering an overarching theoretical framework that incorporates all urban sustainability experiments in China the book conducts a comprehensive analysis of the master plans of these new towns and summarizes the normative transition targets of sustainable urban experiments. It explores how they differ from each other and how they influence transition dynamics in practice. By examining four eco and low-carbon new towns deemed representative of current major approaches to sustainability transition management in China the book provides a detailed depiction of generic transition management and explains the different transitional trajectories for each type of sustainable urban experiment. It demonstrates how subnational-level and city-level transitions mediate the national transition. Through a thorough inquiry into inter-scalar dynamics institutional arrangements and techno-social innovations in sustainable urban experiments the book links generalized transition rules and specific contexts to present a full view of the challenges failures and territorial problems of eco and low-carbon new towns. This book makes a novel contribution to the study of Chinese urbanization by revisiting issues and problems of contemporary urban China. The reflection on these urban issues will provide implications to policymakers professionals and the common reader interested in the future sustainable urbanism in China.

Eco-China Inc. Could China lead the world in an effective transition to a green inclusive global economy? Or will it be too slow in moving towards green to prevent collective catastrophe? Even worse could China be a virulent part of the problem savaging the global environment through a reckless dash for continued growth with associated natural resource and climate implications?In Eco-China Inc. Simon Zadek explores the argument that China could - and must - become the 21st century`s global eco-warrior advancing a green transition at a scale and speed that could only be precipitated in peace time by unilateral action taken by an economic super-power. China's future is however an open book and could take us along a very different path spelling collective disaster. China is at a crossroad with the capabilities to make a real choice that will write tomorrow`s history.In this timely and provocative book Simon Zadek questions whether China`s actions today indicate which pathway it will take and how China with the international community might leverage China's leadership role to mutual benefit.

Ecocinema in the City In Ecocinema in the City Murray and Heumann argue that urban ecocinema both reveals and critiques visions of urban environmentalism. The book emphasizes the increasingly transformative power of nature in urban settings explored in both documentaries and fictional films such as Children Underground White Dog Hatari! and Lives Worth Living. The first two sections—"Evolutionary Myths Under the City" and "Urban Eco-trauma"—take more traditional ecocinema approaches and emphasize the city as a dangerous constructed space. The last two sections—"Urban Nature and Interdependence" and "The Sustainable City"—however bring to life the vibrant relationships between human and nonhuman nature. Ecocinema in the City provides a space to explore these relationships revealing how ecocinema shows that both human and nonhuman nature can interact sustainably and thrive.

Eco-CitiesA Planning Guide As cities undergo vast changes due to industrialization urbanization and globalization environmental considerations assume a growing importance in the urban planning processes of an increasing number of governments around the world. Several cities and regions around the world have already enacted policies that signal the emergence of a paradigm of sustainability in eco-cities planning. Providing an overview of urban ecosystem structure function and change Eco-Cities: A Planning Guide addresses how to successfully accomplish eco-city planning that meets government requirements. It adds a new dimension to the understanding and application of the concept of urban sustainability based on hypotheses about feedback between social and biogeophysical processes. Emphasizing integration the first part of the book discusses various aspects of planning theory. It presents three innovative theories for socioeconomic models: a theory on the locational choices made by households and firms an urban version of the stream continuum concept and an application of metacommunity theory to the fragmented urban biota. These theories raise new urban planning questions and stimulate integrated modeling. The book also introduces urban planning modeling that uses existing social vegetation ecohydrological and ecosystem service modules but is refined and operated for enhanced cross-disciplinary integration and prediction. The second part of the book consists of several case studies of Chinese eco-cities covering a majority of the urban development patterns that offer in-depth examples of planning practices currently in use. Drawing on experimentation comparison long-term measurement and modeling this fascinating guide helps readers better understand eco-cities and eco-landscapes as integrated spatially extensive complex adaptive systems. It lays a solid foundation for engagement between urban planners researchers educators policy makers and citizens as they work to adapt to changing environmental social and economic conditions.

Ecocriticism and Early Modern English LiteratureGreen Pastures In this timely new study Todd A. Borlik reveals the surprisingly rich potential for the emergent "green" criticism to yield fresh insights into early modern English literature. Deftly avoiding the anachronistic casting of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century authors as modern environmentalists he argues that environmental issues such as nature’s personhood deforestation energy use air quality climate change and animal sentience are formative concerns in many early modern texts. The readings infuse a new urgency in familiar works by Shakespeare Sidney Spenser Marlowe Ralegh Jonson Donne and Milton. At the same time the book forecasts how ecocriticism will bolster the reputation of less canonical authors like Drayton Wroth Bruno Gascoigne and Cavendish. Its chapters trace provocative affinities between topics such as Pythagorean ecology and the Gaia hypothesis Ovidian tropes and green phenomenology the disenchantment of Nature and the Little Ice Age and early modern pastoral poetry and modern environmental ethics. It also examines the ecological onus of Renaissance poetics while showcasing how the Elizabethans’ sense of a sophisticated interplay between nature and art can provide a precedent for ecocriticism’s current understanding of the relationship between nature and culture as "mutually constructive." Situating plays and poems alongside an eclectic array of secondary sources including herbals forestry laws husbandry manuals almanacs and philosophical treatises on politics and ethics Borlik demonstrates that Elizabethan and Jacobean authors were very much aware of and concerned about the impact of human beings on their natural surroundings.

Ecocriticism and the Idea of CultureBiology and the Bildungsroman Ecocriticism and the Idea of Culture: Biology and the Bildungsroman draws on work by Kinji Imanishi Frans de Waal and other biologists to create an interdisciplinary materialist notion of culture for ecocritical analysis. In this timely intervention Feder examines the humanist idea of culture by taking a fresh look at the stories it explicitly tells about itself. These stories fall into the genre of the Bildungsroman the tale of individual acculturation that participates in the myth of its complete separation from and opposition to nature which Feder argues is culture’s own origin story. Moving from Voltaire’s Candide to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and from Virginia Woolf’s Orlando to Jamaica Kincaid’s Lucy the book dramatizes humanism’s own awareness of the fallacy of this foundational binary. In the final chapters Feder examines the discourse of animality at work in this narrative as a humanist fantasy about empathy one that paradoxically excludes other animals from the ethical community to justify the continued domination of both human and nonhuman others.

Ecocriticism and the Poiesis of FormHolding on to Proteus Ecocriticism and the Poiesis of Form: Holding on to Proteus demonstrates how a fractal imagination helps one hold the form of a poem within the reaches of Deep Time and it explores the kinship between the hazy liminal moment when Sound becomes Syllable and the hazy liminal moment when the sage energy of the Atom made a leap toward the gaze of the first cell to echo Merwin. Moe distills his methodology as follows: "My work?—I point " asserted the aphorism. "That’s what I do." To point the project integrates a wide range of interdisciplinary ideas—including biosemiotics fractals 　phi trauma theory the Mandelbrot Set hyperobjects meditative chants Goethe’s morphology Ramanujan’s summation a spiderweb’s sonic properties and Thoreau’s sense of the plant-like burgeoning force of an Atom—in order to open up multiple trajectories. In this context the volume foregrounds the insights of poets/storytellers including Hillman Snyder Anzaldúa EEC okpik Whitman Dickinson Gladding Melville Morrison and Toomer for they are most attentive to that liminal moment when the vibratory hum in language and in the cosmos turns kinetic. As this volume draws on a wide range of writers from many backgrounds it allows the myriad voices to engage with one another across differences in race gender and ethnicity. These writers show us how to echo Dickinson the "Freight / Of a delivered Syllable - " can split and how the energy unleashed came from and points us back toward the energy (un)making the forms of Gaia. The starting point for discussing the energy of a poem can no longer begin with the human; rather Holding on explores how the poem’s energy is but a sliver of a hyperobject "massively distributed" throughout the cosmos—a sage energy that brings forth form.

EcoculturesBlueprints for Sustainable Communities The world faces a ‘perfect storm’ of social and ecological stresses including climate change habitat loss resource degradation and social economic and cultural change. In order to cope with these communities are struggling to transition to sustainable ways of living that improve well-being and increase resilience. This book demonstrates how communities in both developed and developing countries are already taking action to maintain or build resilient and sustainable lifestyles. These communities  here designated as ‘Ecocultures’ are exemplars of the art and science of sustainable living. Though they form a diverse group they organise themselves around several common organising principles including an ethic of care for nature a respect for community high ecological knowledge and a desire to maintain and improve personal and social wellbeing.  Case studies from both developed and developing countries including Australia Brazil Finland Greenland India Indonesia South Africa UK and USA show how based on these principles communities have been able to increase social ecological and personal wellbeing and resilience. They also address how other more mainstream communities are beginning to transition to more sustainable resilient alternatives. Some examples also illustrate the decline of ecocultures in the face of economic pressures globalisation and climate change. Theoretical chapters examine the barriers and bridges to wider application of these examples. Overall the volume describes how ecocultures can provide the global community with important lessons for a wider transition to sustainability and will show how we can redefine our personal and collective futures around these principles.

Eco-design of Buildings and Infrastructure The Chair on Ecodesign for buildings and infrastructures was created by ParisTech in partnership with VINCI with the aim of developing evaluation and simulation tools that integrate all ecodesign aspects (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions impact on biodiversity depletion of resources etc.) and provide genuine decision-aid instruments based on a scientific approach to all those involved in the urban environment (i.e. designers builders and users).The present book takes stock of five years of research under the Chair. It starts by presenting some methodological bases of ecodesign life cycle assessments impact studies and methods for planning and transport. Several specific subjects are then covered i.e. public transport parking road traffic the environmental profile of building materials building retrofits energy management and biodiversity. The last part of the book sets out how the knowledge and tools developed under the Chair were applied to a case study: Cité Descartes in Marne la Vallée (Ile de France).This work is aimed at urban planners local authorities contracting clients architects engineering firms contractors building managers research lecturers and anyone interested in the environmental quality of the places we live in.

Eco-DrivingFrom Strategies to Interfaces Eco-driving has the potential to save fuel and reduce emissions without having to make any changes to vehicles or road infrastructure. This book provides an in-depth understanding of the contemporary issues in the human factors aspects of eco-driving strategies and interfaces and the effects on driver behaviour. A review of the literature concerning design behaviour and energy use led to an exploration of Ecological Interface Design and the Skills Rules and Knowledge (SRK) taxonomy of human behaviour particularly with regard to haptic information presented through the accelerator pedal. This book explains that eco-driving can be performed by anyone in control of a vehicle. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781138032019

Eco-EconomyBuilding an Economy for the Earth In 1543 Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the view that the sun revolved around the earth arguing instead that the earth revolved around the sun. His paper led to a revolution in thinking. In Lester Brown's brilliant and invigorating account of the industrial economy he shows how a rethink of its fossil fuel-based throwaway ethos is necessary to ensure that it works with not against the natural environment. The issue now is whether the environment is part of the economy or the economy is part of the environment. Brown argues the latter pointing out that treating the environment as part of the economy has produced an economy that is destroying its natural support systems. One of the foremost experts on the new economic opportunities Brown shows the vast economic potential and environmental gains that exist from eliminating the waste and destruction of current consumption. He describes how the global economy can be restructured to make it compatible with the earth's ecosystem so that economic progress can continue with high standards of living and secure employment for all while conserving resources and restoring the environment. In the new economy wind farms replace coal mines hydrogen-powered fuel cells replace internal combustion engines and cities are designed for people not cars. Eco-Economy is a map of how to get from here to there. It is an essential guide to the economy of the 21st century and will be compelling reading for business readers and environmentalists alike looking for ways to build a better future.

Eco-efficiency and BeyondTowards the Sustainable Enterprise Business-as-usual it is widely accepted will exceed the Earth's carrying capacity in an alarmingly short space of time. In simple terms we need to learn to use the world's rapidly depleting resources in a significantly more efficient manner. Practical and readily adopted solutions are needed now. Eco-efficiency-or "produce more with less" – is achieved when goods and services satisfy human needs increase the quality of life at competitive prices and when environmental impacts and resource intensity are decreased to a degree that keeps them within the limits of Earth's expected carrying capacity. Eco-efficiency – a term first proposed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development in 1992 – is a management approach that allows businesses to carry out environmental protection measures from a market-oriented point of view with the aim of illustrating that ecology and the economy do not need to be a contradiction. Indeed eco-efficiency has been portrayed as a win-win-for both business and the environment.  This book which developed out of two conferences on eco-efficiency held in Düsseldorf in 1998 and 2001 is edited by Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker and his team from the Wuppertal Institute for Climate Environment and Energy one of the world's leading research programmes on resource productivity. The aim is not simply to explain the past and present of eco-efficiency but to look forward to and encourage a future where the comprehensive take-up of the concept by business government and consumers could lead to innovation on a grand scale and the possibility of a giant leap beyond towards overall sustainability.  There have been considerable achievements to date. The Dow Jones Sustainability Index which aims to list the most sustainable corporations for investors includes companies such as BASF Climatex Henkel and Matushita/Panasonic (all represented in this book) who are implementing eco-efficiency measures. A number of political initiatives have also been formed. In December 2001 the German government suggested a National Sustainability Strategy to measure Germany's sustainable development. While this not yet an accepted political target or even law it shows that politics is moving toward binding targets for increasing efficiency.  Eco-Efficiency and Beyond collects together the leading thinkers on the topic and aims to illustrate not only that the concept should be part of every business strategy but that it is a key trigger for innovation. Innovation cuts through paradoxes. It is the creation of solutions to conflicting demands. Flying in a vacuum gave us rockets and satellites; switching electrons through insulators gave us Silicon Valley and the digital age. Sustainable development presents a similar field of paradoxical innovation forces: i.e. provide affordable products and services for the growing unmet needs of the world population while reducing environmental impacts.  This book is the definitive collection on eco-efficiency and will be required reading for business government NGOs and academicians.

Eco-facts and Eco-fictionUnderstanding the Environmental Debate Ozone-friendly recyclable zero-waste elimination of toxic chemicals - such environmental ideals are believed to offer solutions to the environmental crisis. Where do these ideals come from? Is the environmental debate communicating the right problems? Eco-Facts and Eco-Fiction examines serious errors in perceptions about human and environmental health. Drawing on a wealth of everyday examples of local and global concerns the author explains basic concepts and observations relating to the environment. Removing fear of science and technology and eliminating wrong perceptions lead to a more informed understanding of the environment as a science a philosophy and a lifestyle. By revealing the flaws in today's environmental vocabulary this book stresses the urgent need for a common language in the environmental debate. Such a common language encourages the effective communication between environmental science and environmental decision-making that is essential for finding solutions to environmental problems.

Ecofeminism and Systems Thinking This book brings together two vitally important strands of 20th-century thinking to establish a set of simple and elegant principles for planning project design and evaluation. It explains the backgrounds of cultural ecofeminism and critical systems thinking and what we find when they are systematically compared. Both theories share a range of concepts have a strong social justice ethic and challenge the legacy of modernity. The book takes theory into practice. The value of the emergent principles of feminist-systems thinking are described and demonstrated through four chapters of case studies in community development settings. The principles can be used to influence project design and outcomes across a range of disciplines including project management policy health education and community development. This book has much to offer practitioners who seek to create more socially just and equitable project and research outcomes. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138952829

Ecofeminism and the Indian Novel Ecofeminism and the Indian Novel tests the theories of ecofeminism against the background of India’s often different perceptions of environmental problems challenging the hegemony of Western culture in thinking about human problems. This book moves beyond a simple application of the concepts of ecofeminism instead explaining the uniqueness of Indian novels as narratives of ecofeminism and how they can contribute to the development of the theory of ecofeminism. In examining a selection of novels the author argues that Indian texts conceptualize the ecological crisis more as a human problem than as a gender problem. The book proposes that we should think of ecofeminism as ecohumanism instead seeing human beings and nature as a part of a complex web. Novels analysed within the text include Kamala Markandaya’s Nectar in a Sieve (1954) Shivram Karanth’s Return to Earth (2002) and Na D’Souza’s Dweepa (2013).

Eco-Friendly and FairFast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i.e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781783538201

Ecohydrology of the Andes Páramo Region In the Andes mountainous region of South America grasslands known as páramos provide important ecosystem services like sustaining biodiversity securing carbon sequestration and providing water storage. However many páramos regions are subject to land use change due to expanding agriculture intensified grazing and land burning. These are usually caused by socio-economic factors driving local communities to increase their income generation. Trying to achieve a better understanding of the páramos is often restricted to exploring specific details and does not follow an integrated approach or a comprehensive ecosystem analysis. In this research the focus is on better understanding the dominant ecohydrological processes and their interactions. An integrated approach is followed using in-situ measurements field experiments laboratory analyses and numerical modelling. Also different hydroinformatics tools are used to identify and quantify the ecosystem services provided by the páramos. Moreover a framework is developed that allows a more realistic quantification and mapping of the main ecosystem services. The approach was carried out for a test site in an Ecological area in North Ecuador. The findings show a clear difference in ecosystem services depending on their altitudinal range and type of vegetation. These results can be used to further develop environmental management and landscape planning strategies in order to better meet the social goals. This research is aligned with the priorities advocated in the IPCC Report (2007) 'to improve representation of the interactive coupling between ecosystems and the climate system' and with SDG #15: Life on Land 'By 2020 ensure the conservation restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services'.

Eco-industrial StrategiesUnleashing Synergy between Economic Development and the Environment Old-style manufacturing embodied in industrial parks that litter the landscape may soon become dinosaurs of industrial development. These "Jurassic Parks" of the past will be replaced by new eco-industrial parks (EIPs) that link manufacturers more closely together into an industrial ecosystem for business and environmental excellence. Companies have always depended on a larger ecology of suppliers customers geography and market to be successful but a popular mythology was that each company was an island. Abandoning this fantasy by consciously integrating into a larger industrial ecology is smart business that draws on the overall system of interactions to nourish corporate success-and the environment.  Eco-industrial development born from the realisation that the places where we work waste too much and unnecessarily pollute the land air and water simply stated demands a better way of working. From eco-parks-most famously at Kalundborg in Denmark-to virtual networks this progressive perspective on economic development is taking shape in communities across the United States and around the world. Eco-industrial Strategies is edited by Ed Cohen-Rosenthal a pioneer in the field of industrial ecology whose untimely passing early in 2002 has left this book as a legacy to his passion and commitment to improving both the environment and places in which people work. The book explores the key issues involved in eco-industrial development and identifies the stakeholders and their roles in such projects. In addition it offers a compendium of eco-industrial development case studies.  While an increasing number of handbooks and manuals focus on eco-industrial development no other book containing process analysis a breakdown of stakeholder responsibility and case study assessment exists. What sets this work apart is the pooling together of resources and knowledge from a wide array of sources within the eco-industrial field and the framing of the concept from multiple angles.  Eco-industrial Strategies aims to accomplish a two-step "inform and empower" process. First it familiarises readers with eco-industrial development its innovative proclivity and applicability to diverse circumstances. Second it provides the fundamental tools and motivational creativity to implement independent eco-industrial projects.  The introductory chapters of this book present several overarching concepts and perspectives of the field which pay particular attention to the technological economic and social elements.  The next section focuses on the role of the various stakeholders involved in eco-industrial development. Each chapter sets out to answer various questions relating to the stakeholders' place in the system specifically: what are the stakeholders' particular interests in what ways can they participate in the process and how do they relate to other actors and stakeholders? These chapters also respond to questions regarding the relationship between stakeholders and eco-industrial development. Chiefly they trace the flow of benefits and various other impacts and repercussions among and between the stakeholders and the development project. Since eco-industrial development involves countless groups and individuals this book focuses on five distinct and comprehensive categories: namely central government local government surrounding community development community and energy resources.  The third section outlines several matters related to conceptualisation design operation and assessment of eco-industrial projects. Concentrating on the core legal environmental management financial real estate and evaluative aspects the book presents the critical components of each issue and also provides an understanding of the unique attributes eco-industrial development brings to the equation.  The case-study portion of this book provides vignettes of actual work in progress. Each chapter details the key characteristics of the effort and the process undertaken in developing the eco-industrial project. The studies focus primarily on issues considered in the preceding sections such as project funding stakeholder engagement and environmental stewardship. In addition they recount achievements threats to success ways obstacles were overcome and details on the project's future.

Eco-Innovation and Sustainability Management Sustainability is a phenomenon that must be pursued in a complex system of interrelated elements of business society and ecology. It is important to gain an understanding of these elements the interplay between them and the behavior of the system. This book explores the business-societal-and-ecological system in which sustainable innovation has to be envisioned conceptualized realized and improved. Author Bart Bossink offers insight into the systematic coherence of drivers of eco-innovation and sustainability utilizing a three-part approach: (1) eco- and sustainable innovation in business is based on ideas and people who cooperatively develop these ideas; (2) groups of people organized in commercial firms must realize these ideas cooperatively and create the innovations that can conquer the market; and (3) that people from governmental non-governmental not-for-profit research and commercial organizations can build institutional arrangements that stimulate these sustainable innovations changing both industry and society. Adopting a managerial perspective and discussing concepts and methods to manage eco-innovation in business this book highlights the interrelated roles of the individual the firm partnerships and business environments. Researchers and practitioners who want to combine a commercial and economical approach with an ethical and social ambition to create an ecologically sustainable firm stand to learn much from these pages.

Eco-Literate Music Pedagogy Eco-Literate Music Pedagogy examines the capacity of musiciking to cultivate ecological literacy approaching eco-literate music pedagogy through philosophical and autoethnographical lenses. Building on the principle that music contributes uniquely to human ecological thinking this volume tracks the course of eco-literate music pedagogy while guiding the discussion forward: What does it mean to embrace the impulse to teach music for ecological literacy? What is it like to theorize eco-literate music pedagogy? What is learned through enacting this pedagogy? How do the impulsion the theorizing and the enacting relate to one another?Music education for ecological consciousness is experienced in local places and this study explores the theory underlying eco-literate music pedagogy in juxtaposition with the author’s personal experiences. The work arrives at a new philosophy for music education: a spiritual praxis rooted in soil communities one informed by ecology’s intrinsic value for non-human being and musicking. Eco-Literate Music Pedagogy adds to the emerging body of music education literature considering ecological and environmental issues. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367607357

Ecological and Social HealingMulticultural Women's Voices This book is an edited collection of essays by fourteen multicultural women (including a few Anglo women) who are doing work that crosses the boundaries of ecological and social healing. The women are prominent academics writers and leaders spanning Native American Indigenous Asian African Latina Jewish and Multiracial backgrounds. The contributors express a myriad of ways that the relationship between the ecological and social have brought new understanding to their experiences and work in the world.  Moreover by working with these edges of awareness they are identifying new forms of teaching leading healing and positive change. Ecological and Social Healing is rooted in these ideas and speaks to an "edge awareness or consciousness."

Ecological Approaches to Early Modern English TextsA Field Guide to Reading and Teaching Ecocriticism has steadily gained footing within the larger arena of early modern scholarship and with the publication of well over a dozen monographs essay collections and special journal issues literary studies looks increasingly ’green’; yet the field lacks a straightforward easy-to-use guide to do with reading and teaching early modern texts ecocritically. Accessible yet comprehensive the cutting-edge collection Ecological Approaches to Early Modern English Texts fills this gap. Organized around the notion of contact zones (or points of intersection that have often been constructed asymmetrically-especially with regard to the human-nonhuman dichotomy) the volume reassesses current trends in ecocriticism and the Renaissance; introduces analyses of neglected texts and authors; brings ecocriticism into conversation with cognate fields and approaches (e.g. queer theory feminism post-coloniality food studies); and offers a significant section on pedagogy ecocriticism and early modern literature. Engaging points of tension and central interest in the field the collection is largely situated in the 'and/or' that resides between presentism-historicism materiality-literary somatic-semiotic nature-culture and most importantly human-nonhuman. Ecological Approaches to Early Modern English Texts balances coverage and methodology; its primary goal is to provide useful yet nuanced discussions of ecological approaches to reading and teaching a range of representative early modern texts. As a whole the volume includes a diverse selection of chapters that engage the complex issues that arise when reading and teaching early modern texts from a green perspective.

Ecological BiomarkersIndicators of Ecotoxicological Effects Does a change which affects a few biological macro-molecules some cells or a few individuals within a population have any ecological significance that would allow the prediction of deleterious effects at higher levels of biological organization namely the population community and ultimately the ecosystem? With contributions from experts in the field Ecological Biomarkers: Indicators of Ecotoxicological Effects explores how biomarkers can be used to predict effects farther down the chain. It presents a synthesis of the state of the art in the methodology of biomarkers and its contribution to ecological risk assessment. This book describes the core biomarkers currently used in environmental research concerned with biological monitoring biomarkers which correspond to the defences developed by living organisms in response to contaminants in their environment and biomarkers that reveal biological damage resulting from contaminant stressors. It examines the efficacy of lysosomal biomarkers immunotoxicity effects behavioral disturbances energy metabolism impairments endocrine disruption measures and genotoxicity as all indicative of probable toxic effects at higher biological levels. It is time to revisit the biological responses most ecologically relevant in the diagnosis of the health status of an aquatic environment well before it becomes unmanageable. Biomarkers provide a real possibility of delivering an easily measured marker at a simple level of biological organization that is predictably linked to a potentially ecologically significant effect at higher levels of biological organization. The text explores the latest knowledge and thinking on how to use biomarkers as tools for the assessment of environmental health and management. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781439880173

Ecological Causal Assessment Edited by experts at the leading edge of the development of causal assessment methods for more than two decades Ecological Causal Assessment gives insight and expert guidance on how to identify cause-effect relationships in environmental systems. The book discusses the importance of asking the fundamental question "Why did this effect happen?" before moving on to "How can we fix it?" The book provides a deeper understanding of different philosophical and analytical approaches and of cognitive tendencies that can lead to errors. It describes formal processes for causal assessment that are particularly helpful when the situation is complex or contentious. It also describes how to approach the analysis of available data and to optimize collection efforts. The text then details a transparent process that helps others replicate results and can be used to convince skeptics that the true cause has been identified. Several detailed case studies　show how to apply the process to streams watersheds and a terrestrial wildlife population. Causal assessment is a challenging but endlessly fascinating endeavor. Success requires the persistence to figure things out and solid strategies for using the information that you have and getting more of the right kind of information that you need. This book gives you just that: the skills knowledge and confidence needed to successfully unravel tough environmental problems and build the knowledge base for effective management solutions.

Ecological Complexity and Agroecology This text reflects the immense current growth in interest in agroecology and changing approaches to it. While it is acknowledged that the science of ecology should be the basis of agroecological planning many analysts have out-of-date ideas about contemporary ecology. Ecology has come a long way since the old days of "the balance of nature" and other romantic notions of how ecological systems function. In this context the new science of complexity has become extremely important in the modern science of ecology. The problem is that it tends to be too mathematical and technical and thus off-putting for the average student of agroecology especially those new to the subject. Therefore this book seeks to present ideas about ecological complexity with a minimum of formal mathematics. The book’s organization consists of an introductory chapter and a second chapter providing some of the background to basic ecological topics as they are relevant to agroecosystrems (e.g. soil biology and pest control). The core of the book consists of seven chapters on key intersecting themes of ecological complexity including issues such as spatial patterns network theory and tipping points illustrated by examples from agroecology and agricultural systems from around the world.

Ecological Consequences of Climate ChangeMechanisms Conservation and Management Contemporary climate change is a crucial management challenge for wildlife scientists conservation biologists and ecologists of the 21st century. Climate fingerprints are being detected and documented in the responses of hundreds of wildlife species and numerous ecosystems around the world. To mitigate and accommodate the influences of climate change on wildlife and ecosystems broader-scale conservation strategies are needed. Ecological Consequences of Climate Change: Mechanisms Conservation and Management provides a mechanistic understanding of biotic responses to climate change in order to better inform conservation and management strategies. Incorporating modeling and real-world examples from diverse taxa ecosystems and spatio-temporal scales the book first presents research on recently observed rapid shifts in temperature and precipitation. It then explains how these shifts alter the biotic landscape within species and ecosystems and how they may be expected to impose changes in the future. Also included are major sections on monitoring and conservation efforts in the face of contemporary climate change. Contributors highlight the general trends expected in wildlife and ecological responses as well as the exceptions and contingencies that may mediate those responses. Topics covered include: Description and quantification of how aspects of climate have recently changed and may change in the future Species-level and higher-order ecological responses to climate change and variability Approaches to monitor and interpret ecological effects of climatic variability Conservation and management efforts The book discusses the quantification of the magnitude and variability in short-term responses and delineates patterns of relative vulnerability among species and community types. It offers suggestions for designing investigations and management actions including the long-term monitoring of ecological consequences of rapid climate change. It also identifies many of the biggest gaps in current knowledge proposing avenues for further research.

Ecological Economics from the Ground Up Ecological Economics from the Ground Up takes a unique and much-needed bottom-up approach to teaching ecological economics and political ecology using case studies that focus on a wide range of internationally relevant topics to teach the principles concepts methods and tools of these fields which are seen as increasingly important in the context of the current triple social economic and environmental crisis. This book provides learning materials which are grounded in the experience of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) with case studies chosen by CSOs and developed collaboratively with leading ecological economists. The case studies come from Europe India Latin America and Africa and are presented thematically along three lines: 1) social metabolism and accounting methods 2) institutions and participation and 3) valuation and environmental policy tools. Core tools concepts and glossary terms are embedded in topics chosen as a matter of urgency by activist organizations related to mining and fossil fuel extraction integrated transport infrastructure development deforestation and agro-fuel production sustainable tourism waste management wetlands and water management payments for ecosystem services natural disasters and hazards and corporate accountability. Ecological Economics from the Ground Up has been designed to be an accessible learning aid for students of the sustainability sciences and for those CSOs that have recognised the value that ecological economics and political ecology tools and methods hold for their research and advocacy work.

Ecological ExileSpatial Injustice and Environmental Humanities Ecological Exile explores how contemporary literature film and media culture confront ecological crises through perspectives of spatial justice – a facet of social justice that looks at unjust circumstances as a phenomenon of space. Growing instances of flooding population displacement and pollution suggest an urgent need to re-examine the ways social and geographical spaces are perceived and valued in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Maintaining that ecological crises are largely socially produced Derek Gladwin considers how British and Irish literary and visual texts by Ian McEwan Sarah Gavron Eavan Boland John McGrath and China Miéville among others respond to and confront various spatial injustices resulting from fossil fuel production and the effects of climate change. This ambitious book offers a new spatial perspective in the environmental humanities by focusing on what the philosopher Glenn Albrecht has termed 'solastalgia' – a feeling of homesickness caused by environmental damage. The result of solastalgia is that people feel paradoxically ecologically exiled in the places they continue to live because of destructive environmental changes. Gladwin skilfully traces spatially produced instances of ecological injustice that literally and imaginatively abolish people’s sense of place (or place-home). By looking at two of the most pressing social and environmental concerns – oil and climate – Ecological Exile shows how literary and visual texts have documented spatially unjust effects of solastalgia. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to students scholars and professionals studying literary film and media texts that draw on environment and sustainability cultural geography energy cultures climate change and social justice.

Ecological Integrity Law and Governance Ecological integrity is concerned with protecting the planet in a holistic way while respecting ethics and human rights. Over recent years it has been introduced directly and indirectly in several legal regimes culminating in international law with the 2016 expanded remit of the International Criminal Court  which now includes "environmental disasters". This book celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Global Ecological Integrity Group (GEIG) which includes more than 250 scholars and independent researchers worldwide from diverse disciplines including ecology biology philosophy epidemiology public health ecological economics and international law. It reviews the role of ecological integrity across a number of fields through inter- and trans-disciplinary engagement on matters affecting and governing the sustainability of life for both present and future generations. These include ethics environmental disasters crimes against humanity and environmental health and how such issues can be subject to sound governance and be incorporated into international law. The book also looks forward to new applications of the concept of ecological integrity such as crimes that result in the exploitation of natural resources and the illegal dispossession of land.

Ecological Integrity and Global GovernanceScience ethics and the law It is increasingly argued that a focus on environmental sustainability is fundamental to effective and equitable governance and ultimately for the good of mankind. This book argues that in the face increasing environmental challenges it is essential to recognise the role that ecological integrity has played and must play in governance for environmental sustainability in order to ensure the future survival of life on earth. Ecological integrity encompasses not only the necessity of respect for nature but also the human right to a sound and healthy environment. The author shows that on this basis acceptance of its primacy in law and governance is key to a sustainable and equitable future for all. The book presents a uniquely informed treatise on the term its origins evolution and position in current debates exploring the conflicts which have so far prevented its acceptance. Written by a leading scholar on the subject this book provides the most in-depth exposition of ecological integrity available to increase understanding of this crucial concept and encourage its adoption in governance and international law.

Ecological Integrity and the Management of Ecosystems Today efforts are being made to rehabilitate badly degraded ecosystems and protect areas which have important ecological value such as national parks critical fish and wildlife habitats natural communities and endangered species.Since human values are an integral part of the decisions to protect or rehabilitate-the goals and objectives for such actions are often unclear. Concepts of "health " "integrity" and "diversity" express important values associated with management actions but they do not provide clear guidelines for these actions.The criteria developed and applied in this book provide guidelines and serve as a road map to anyone involved in ecosystem management-scientists land managers and policy makers.

Ecological InvestigationsA Phenomenology of Habitats These investigations identify and clarify some basic assumptions and methodological principles involved in ecological explanations of plant associations. How are plants geographically distributed into characteristic groups? What are the basic conditions that organize groups of interspecific plant populations that are characteristic of particular kinds of habitats? Answers to these questions concerning the geographical distribution of plants in late 19th century European plant geography and early 20th century American plant ecology can be distinguished according to differing logical assumptions concerning the habitats of plant associations. Through an analysis of several significant case studies in the early history of plant ecology Konopka distinguishes a logic of habitats that conceives of plant associations in an analogy to individual organisms with a logic that conceives of plant associations in a reciprocal relation to habitat physiography. He argues that a phenomenological conception of the logical attributes of habitats can philosophically complement the physiographic tradition in early plant ecology and provide an attractive alternative to standard reductionism and holism debates that persist today. This wide ranging and original analysis will be valuable for readers interested in the history and philosophy of ecology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138300378

Ecological Law and the Planetary CrisisA Legal Guide for Harmony on Earth This book uses a transdisciplinary systems approach to examine how Earth’s human-caused ecological crisis arose and presents a new legal approach for overcoming it. Ecological Law and the Planetary Crisis first examines how the history of humanity’s social metabolism along with the history of human inventions and ideas led to the human-Earth dilemma we see today and explains why contemporary law is inadequate for confronting this dilemma. The book goes on to propose ecological law—law that maintains human activity within ecological limits such as planetary boundaries while ensuring social justice and equity—as an essential element of an urgently needed radical pathway of change toward a perpetual mutually enhancing human-Earth relationship. Finally it offers a systems-based analytical tool for organizing actions to promote the transition from environmental to ecological law. Increasing the visibility clarity and development of ecological law this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of ecological and environmental law and governance.

Ecological Learning Theory Originally published in 1989 this title presents a view of adaptive behaviour which integrates both evolutionary and psychological perspectives on learning. The study of learning and in particular conditioning had evolved in isolation from the rest of the biological sciences and until the late 1980s had largely ignored the fact that learning processes are adaptive functions subject to the pressures of evolutionary selection. This text is designed to give a thorough insight into contemporary views of learning mechanisms at the same time incorporating an evolutionary perspective on the function and performance of learning. Graham Davey gives a detailed introduction to evolutionary approaches to behaviour and basic learning phenomena such as Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning. He also provides a comparative introduction to both learning and performance aspects of conditioning. He covers ecological approaches to adaptive behaviour (e.g. foraging theory) specialized learning processes such as concept formation spatial learning and language learning. Innovative in its integration of ecological and evolutionary approaches with more traditional associative views of learning the book introduces the reader to learning in a very wide variety of species other than the traditional laboratory rat and pigeon. It will be valuable to anyone with a general interest in animal behaviour and also to those with a specific interest in learning adaptive behaviour and evolutionary approaches to behaviour.

Ecological Living This book emphasizes how we already have the technologies available including renewable energy and the ability to recycle most materials to make ecological living possible and that perceived barriers to energy transitions can be overcome. Human life relies upon two systems: the biosphere and the system that produces our goods and services. Today these two systems are in conflict and we all face the question of whether we can stop damaging our environment while still supplying the essential goods and services we have come to depend on. Ecological Living presents an optimistic vision of our future by showing how decoupling the productive system from resource extraction is possible and how this is a key means of achieving an equitable world within environmental limits. For long-term sustainability the book argues that we must become more efficient in the use of our resources so that resource extraction and the accompanying environmental costs can be reduced. Demonstrating the essential steps towards a just and sustainable world Ecological Living will be of great interest to all students academics and policymakers working in the field of environment and sustainability.

Ecological MasculinitiesTheoretical Foundations and Practical Guidance Around the globe unfettered industrialisation has marched forth in unison with massive social inequities. Making matters worse anthropogenic pressures on Earth’s living systems are causing alarming rates of thermal expansion sea-level rise biodiversity losses in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and a sixth mass extinction. As various disciplines have shown rich white men in the Global North are the main (although not the only) perpetrators of this slow violence. This book demonstrates that industrial/breadwinner masculinities have come at terrible costs to the living planet and ecomodern masculinities have failed us as well men included. This book is dedicated to a third and relationally focused pathway that the authors call ecological masculinities. Here they explore ways that masculinities can advocate and embody broader deeper and wider care for the global through to local (‘glocal’) commons. Ecological Masculinities works with the wisdoms of four main streams of influence that have come before us. They are: masculinities politics deep ecology ecological feminism and feminist care theory. The authors work with profeminist approaches to the conceptualisations and embodiments of modern Western masculinities. From there they introduce masculinities that give ADAM-n for Earth others and self striving to create a more just and ecologically viable planet for all of life. This book is interdisciplinary. It is intended to reach (but is not restricted to) scholars exploring history gender studies material feminism feminist care theory ecological feminism deep ecology social ecology environmental humanities social sustainability science and technology studies and philosophy.

Ecological Modeling in Risk AssessmentChemical Effects on Populations Ecosystems and Landscapes Toxic chemicals can exert effects on all levels of the biological hierarchy from cells to organs to organisms to populations to entire ecosystems. However most risk assessment models express their results in terms of effects on individual organisms without corresponding information on how populations groups of species or whole ecosystems may respond to chemical stressors. Ecological Modeling in Risk Assessment: Chemical Effects on Populations Ecosystems and Landscapes takes a new approach by compiling and evaluating models that can be used in assessing risk at the population ecosystem and landscape levels.The authors give an overview of the current process of ecological risk assessment for toxic chemicals and of how modeling of populations ecosystems and landscapes could improve the status quo. They present a classification of ecological models and explain the differences between population ecosystem landscape and toxicity-extrapolation models. The authors describe the model evaluation process and define evaluation criteria. Finally the results of the model evaluations are presented in a concise format with recommendations on modeling approaches to use now and develop further.The authors present and evaluate various models on the basis of their realism and complexity prediction of relevant assessment endpoints treatment of uncertainty regulatory acceptance resource efficiency and other criteria. They provide models that will improve the ecological relevance of risk assessments and make data collection more cost-effective. Ecological Modeling in Risk Assessment serves as a reference for selecting and applying the best models when performing a risk assessment. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367396800

Ecological Modelling of River-Wetland SystemsA Case Study for the Abras de Mantequilla Wetland in Ecuador Around 6% of the Earth's land surface is covered by wetlands. Wetlands play a key role in hydrological and biogeochemical cycles delivering multiple benefits to society: sources of water supply flood regulation water purification agriculture fisheries and biodiversity. Hence wetland systems are of immense socio-economic as well as ecological importance. In this research the focus was on the Abras de Mantequilla (AdM) wetland in the tropical coastal region of Ecuador a RAMSAR site and case study area for the EU-FP7 WETwin project. The research in this thesis involves a combination of field data collection multivariate analysis techniques as well as numerical modelling studies. The goal was to explore the effects of changes in hydrological forcing on the hydrodynamic and ecohydraulic responses of the wetland. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of how a tropical river-wetland system functions in terms of hydrodynamics water quality primary production and biotic communities. Spatial patterns of biotic communities and environmental variables are obtained as well as spatio-temporal variability of hydrodynamics water quality primary productivity and fish habitat-suitability conditions. In data scarce areas and countries with financial constraints the combination of field measurements with numerical models was extremely useful and relevant confirming that these techniques complement each other in obtaining a better understanding of the dynamics of freshwater river–wetland systems. Studies like the present research can be used to enhance awareness about the environmental services of wetlands and stimulate cooperation between all stakeholders in order to achieve more sustainable wetland management.

Ecological Modernisation and Environmental ComplianceThe Garments Industry in Bangladesh Economic development that is environmentally socially and ethically sound is at the forefront of contemporary debates all over the world. This is especially relevant to international trade where goods manufactured in least developed countries (LDCs) are being exported to developed countries (DCs) via international supply chains. This book looks at Bangladesh’s ready-made garments (RMG) industry – the seventh largest in the world — facing demands for environmental and social management according to standards set by consumers in environmentally progressive societies. Apart from these concerns not having found cultural or institutional resonance in Bangladesh the pressures for cost reduction on-time delivery and cheap labour in a highly competitive international market make the problem that much more complex. In this book Selim uses the analytical framework provided by the ecological modernisation theory to examine the economic communicative and social political aspects of ethical trade and argues that the economy-ecology relationship can indeed be a positive sum game if nation-states and economic actors change their policymaking styles and greening behaviour to take advantage of scientific evidence and green technological opportunities.

Ecological Modernisation Around the WorldPerspectives and Critical Debates The idea of ecological modernisation originated in Western Europe in the 1980s gaining attention around the world by the late 1990s. At the core of this social scientific and policy-oriented approach is the view that contemporary societies have the capability of dealing with their environmental crises. Experiences in some countries demonstrate that modern institutions can incorporate environmental interests into their daily routines. Elsewhere economic and political interests dominate development trajectories and environmental deterioration continues challenging the premises of ecological modernisation. This volume brings together research on ecological modernisation practices around the world. Studies on Western Central and Eastern Europe the USA and Southeast Asia examine the applicability of this approach to advanced industrial countries transitional economies and developing countries respectively. Authors critically examine the premises of ecological modernisation theory assess its value for understanding past and present environmental transformations and outline paths for designing future sustainable development. Taken together the studies in collected this volume offer significant refinements extensions and critiques of ecological modernisation theory and suggest important directions for future research on social and policy dimensions of environmental change.

Ecological Public HealthReshaping the Conditions for Good Health What is public health? To some it is about drains water food and housing all requiring engineering and expert management. To others it is the State using medicine or health education and tackling unhealthy lifestyles.  This book argues that public health thinking needs an overhaul a return to and modernisation around ecological principles. Ecological Public Health thinking outlined here fits the twenty-first century’s challenges. It integrates what the authors call the four dimensions of existence: the material biological social and cultural aspects of life. Public health becomes the task of transforming the relationship between people their circumstances and the biological world of nature and bodies. For Geof Rayner and Tim Lang this is about facing a number of long-term transitions some well recognized others not. These transitions are Demographic Epidemiological Urban Energy Economic Nutrition Biological Cultural and Democracy itself.  The authors argue that identifying large scale transitions such as these refocuses public health actions onto the conditions on which human and eco-systems health interact. Making their case Rayner and Lang map past confusions in public health images definitions and models. This is an optimistic book arguing public health can be rescued from its current dilemmas and frustrations. This century’s agenda is unavoidably complex however and requires stronger and more daring combinations of interdisciplinary work movements and professions locally nationally and globally. Outlining these in the concluding section the book charts a positive and reinvigorated institutional purpose. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781844078325

Ecological Restoration and Environmental ChangeRenewing Damaged Ecosystems What is a natural habitat? Who can define what is natural when species and ecosystems constantly change over time with or without human intervention? When a polluted river or degraded landscape is restored from its damaged state what is the appropriate outcome? With climate change now threatening greater disruption to the stability of ecosystems how should restoration ecologists respond? Ecological Restoration and Environmental Change addresses and challenges some of these issues which question the core values of the science and practice of restoration ecology. It analyzes the paradox arising from the desire to produce ecological restorations that fit within an historical ecological context produce positive environmental benefits and also result in landscapes with social meaning. Traditionally restorationists often felt that by producing restorations that matched historic ecosystems they were following nature's plans and human agency played only a small part in restoration. But the author shows that in reality the process of restoration has always been defined by human choices. He examines the development of restoration practice especially in North America Europe and Australia in order to describe different models of restoration with respect to balancing ecological benefit and cultural value. He develops ways to balance more actively these differing areas of concern while planning restorations. The book debates in detail how coming global climate change and the development of novel ecosystems will force us to ask new questions about what we mean by good ecological restoration. When the environment is constantly shifting restoration to maintain biodiversity local species and ecosystem functions becomes even more challenging. It is likely that in the future ecological restoration will become a never-ending continuously evolving process. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138804562

Ecological Restoration and Management of Longleaf Pine Forests Ecological Restoration and Management of Longleaf Pine Forests is a timely synthesis of the current understanding of the natural dynamics and processes in longleaf pine ecosystems. This book beautifully illustrates how incorporation of basic ecosystem knowledge and an understanding of socioeconomic realities shed new light on established paradigms and their application for restoration and management. Unique for its holistic ecological focus rather than a more traditional silvicultural approach the book highlights the importance of multi-faceted actions that robustly integrate forest and wildlife conservation at landscape scales and merge ecological with socioeconomic objectives for effective conservation of the longleaf pine ecosystem.

Ecological Restoration in International Environmental Law Human activities are depleting ecosystems at an unprecedented rate. In spite of nature conservation efforts worldwide many ecosystems including those critical for human well-being have been damaged or destroyed. States and citizens need a new vision of how humans can reconnect with the natural environment. With its focus on the long-term holistic recovery of ecosystems ecological restoration has received increasing attention in the past decade from both scientists and policymakers. Research on the implications of ecological restoration for the law and law for ecological restoration has been largely overlooked. This is the first published book to examine comprehensively the relationship between international environmental law and ecological restoration. While international environmental law (IEL) has developed significantly as a discipline over the past four decades this book enquires whether IEL can now assist states in making a strategic transition from not just protecting and maintaining the natural environment but also actively restoring it. Arguing that states have international duties to restore this book offers reflections on the philosophical context of ecological restoration and the legal content of a duty to restore from an international law European Union law and national law perspective. The book concludes with a discussion of several contemporary themes of interest to both lawyers and ecologists including the role of private actors protected areas and climate change in ecological restoration.

Ecological Restoration LawConcepts and Case Studies Ecological restoration is as essential as sustainable development for the health of the biosphere. Restoration however has been a low priority of most countries' environmental laws which tend to focus narrowly on rehabilitation of small discrete sites rather than the more ambitious recovery of entire ecosystems and landscapes. Through critical theoretical perspectives and topical case studies this book's diverse contributors explore a more ambitious agenda for ecological restoration law. Not only do they investigate current laws and other governance mechanisms; they also consider the philosophical and methodological bases for the law to take ecological restoration more seriously. Through exploration of themes relating to time space geography semiotics social justice and scientific knowledge this book offers innovative and critical insights into ecological restoration law.

Ecological Risk Assessment The definitive reference in its field Ecological Risk Assessment Second Edition details the latest advances in science and practice. In the fourteen years since the publication of the best-selling first edition ecological risk assessment (ERA) has moved from the margins into the spotlight. It is now commonly applied to the regulation of chemicals the remediation of contaminated sites the monitoring of importation of exotic organisms the management of watersheds and other environmental management issues. Delineating the processes for performing an ERA the book begins by defining the field then goes on to describe its relationship to other environmental assessment practices and its organizational framework. The book also includes a chapter on ecological epidemiology which has previously been treated as a type of ERA but is now recognized as a distinct practice in itself. It explores important concepts in the ERA process including probability uncertainty scale mode of action and multiple causes. Reflecting changes in the field the book’s scope has been broadened to include discussions of the application of ERA to agents other than chemical contaminants. The multitude of illustrative figures provides a flavor for the diverse practice of ERA. The author has re-organized the material presenting a unitary process of ERA that is applicable to various problems scales and mandates. He keeps the emphasis squarely on providing clear scientifically sound and unbiased technical advice on the risks from chemicals and chemical mixtures.

Ecological Risks and Disasters - New Experiences in China and Europe Climate change and also other factors are capable of bringing about major disasters on a scale hitherto unimaginable. Ecological and other risks besides having scientific and technological dimensions are also a subject of study for social scientists concerned with how disasters and potential disasters are noticed perceived guarded against managed once they have occurred and coped with after they have happened. This book considers a range of ecological risks and disasters and how they are managed in both China and Europe. It examines how far risks and disasters are perceived and managed in different ways in Europe and China explores how an increasing humanitarian approach to "vulnerable people" being taken up in Europe is also being adopted in China and assesses how far the management of disasters differs from wider government management of more ordinary aspects of everyday life. The book argues that the same stresses and strains which are present in normal society are there also in enhanced form in disaster situations. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138476899

Ecological Sustainability for Non-timber Forest ProductsDynamics and Case Studies of Harvesting There is growing knowledge about and appreciation of the importance of Non-timber Forest Products (NTFPs) to rural livelihoods in developing countries and to a lesser extent developed countries. However there is also an assumption on the part of policy-makers that any harvesting of wild animal or plant products from the forests and other natural and modified ecosystems must be detrimental to the long-term viability of target populations and species. This book challenges this idea and shows that while examples of such negative impacts certainly exist there are also many examples of sustainable harvesting systems for NTFPs.  The chapters review and present coherent and scientifically sound information and case studies on the ecologically sustainable use of NTFPs. They also outline a general interdisciplinary approach for assessing the sustainability of NTFP harvesting systems at different scales. A wide range of case studies is included from Africa Asia and South America using plant and animal products for food crafts textiles medicines and cosmetics.

Ecological Urbanism: The Nature of the City Ecological Urbanism: The Nature of the City asks the questions that are important inside and outside the built environment professions: what are climate change urbanisation and ecology doing to the theory and practice of urban design? How does Ecological Urbanism figure in this change? What is Ecological Urbanism? In answer this book is neither definitive – impossible when a subject is still in motion – nor encyclopaedic – equally impossible when so much has been written on almost every aspect of these essays. Instead it seeks to rebalance the ecological narrative and its embryonic modes of practice with the narratives of urbanism and its older deeply embedded modes of practice. It examines the implications for cities and the designers of cities now we are required to again address their metabolic as well as social and formal dimensions and it explores the extent to which environmental engineering and natural systems design can and should become drivers for the remaking of cities in the 21st century. Above all it argues that sooner rather than later urbanism needs to become environmentally literate and environmental design needs to become culturally literate.

Ecologically Based Municipal Land Use Planning In the decades following the first Earth Day in 1970 a generation has been enlightened about the unspeakable damage done to our planet. Federal state and local governments generated laws and regulations to control development and protect the environment. Local governments have developed environmental standards addressing their needs. The result-an ecologically incongruous pattern of land development known as urban sprawl.Local land use planners can have a greater effect on the quality of our environment than all of the federal and state regulators combined. Historically they have existed on the periphery of land management. The author suggests that federal and state environmental regulators need to incorporate local governments into their environmental protection plans. Ecologically Based Municipal Land Use Planning provides easily understood nuts and bolts solutions for controlling urban sprawl emphasizing the integration of federal state and local land use plans.The book discusses ecological resources and provides practical solutions that municipal planners can implement immediately. It discusses the most recent scientific data how to extract what is important and how to apply it to the local land planning process. The author includes the application of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to problem solving.Despite compelling evidence and sound arguments favoring the implementation of an ecologically sensitive approach to land use planning municipal planners in general remain skeptical. It will take considerably more encouragement and education to win them over completely. Ecologically Based Municipal Land Use Planning makes the case for sound land use policies that will reduce sprawl. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367579050

Ecologies and Politics of Health Human health exists at the interface of environment and society. Decades of work by researchers practitioners and policy-makers has shown that health is shaped by a myriad of factors including the biophysical environment climate political economy gender social networks culture and infrastructure. Yet while there is emerging interest within the natural and social sciences on the social and ecological dimensions of human disease and health there have been few studies that address them in an integrated manner. Ecologies and Politics of Health brings together contributions from the natural and social sciences to examine three key themes: the ecological dimensions of health and vulnerability the socio-political dimensions of human health and the intersections between the ecological and social dimensions of health. The thirteen case study chapters collectively present results from Africa Asia Latin America the United States Australia and global cities. Section one interrogates the utility of several theoretical frameworks and conventions for understanding health within complex social and ecological systems. Section two concentrates upon empirically grounded and quantitative work that collectively redefines health in a more expansive way that extends beyond the absence of disease. Section three examines the role of the state and management interventions through historically rich approaches centering on both disease- and non-disease-related examples from Latin America Eastern Africa and the United States. Finally Section four highlights how health vulnerabilities are differentially constructed with concomitant impacts for disease management and policy interventions. This timely volume advances knowledge on health-environment interactions disease vulnerabilities global development and political ecology. It offers theoretical and methodological contributions which will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in geography public health biology anthropology sociology and ecology.

Ecologies DesignTransforming Architecture Landscape and Urbanism The notion of ecology has become central to contemporary design discourse. This reflects contemporary concerns for our planet and a new understanding of the primary entanglement of the human species with the rest of the world.The use of the term ‘ecology’ with design tends to refer to how to integrate ecologies into design and cities and be understood in a biologically-scientific and technical sense. In practice this scientific-technical knowledge tends to be only loosely employed. The notion of ecology is also often used metaphorically in relation to the social use of space and cities. This book argues that what it calls the ‘biological’ and ‘social’ senses of ecology are both important and require distinctly different types of knowledge and practice. It proposes that science needs to be taken much more seriously in ‘biological ecologies’ and that ‘social ecologies’ can now be understood non-metaphorically as assemblages. Furthermore this book argues that design practice itself can be understood much more rigorously productively and relevantly if understood ecologically. The plural term ‘ecologies design’ refers to these three types of ecological design. This book is unique in bringing these three perspectives on ecological design together in one place. It is significant in proposing that a strong sense of ecologies design practice will only follow from the interconnection of these three types of practice. Ecologies Design brings together leading international experts and relevant case studies in the form of edited research essays case studies and project work. It provides an overarching critique of current ecologically-oriented approaches and offers evidence and exploration of emerging and effective methods techniques and concepts. It will be of great interest to academics professionals and students in the built environment disciplines. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367234478

Ecologies of Engaged ScholarshipStories from Activist Academics Story and auto-ethnography are study methods based on decolonizing and liberating research perspectives. Stories auto-ethnographies and other qualitative methodologies enable the researcher/educator to be both a research instrument and an object in their study. Stories allow for the examination of personal growth its effect on practice and their impact on community. The researcher/educator is able to witness her/his own life as they collaborate with participants. Through the use of story auto-ethnography and other qualitative methodologies researchers/educators can link the history of self within their community/activist work to its present conditions as they map their collective community’s future. Ecologies of Engaged Scholarship explores the use of story and auto-ethnography as a tool to know ‘self’ and ‘other’ in relationship to capacity building pedagogical processes and activist scholarship. It highlights activist-scholarship to better understand the epistemology and landscape of activist research. Contributors to the book self-identify as activist-scholars or scholar-activists and in their unique chapters they consider the values informing their work the origins and nature of their work and how they make meaning of their work. They also consider how family and/or community has been involved how previous schooling experiences have affected their trajectory and how particular relationships have worked to influence their philosophical understanding.

Ecologies of Internet VideoBeyond YouTube This book explores the complex dynamic and contested webs of relationships in which three different groups of video makers found themselves when distributing their work on the Internet. It draws upon both the Deleuzian notion of "assemblage" and Actor-Network Theory which together provide a rich conceptual framework for characterizing and analysing these webs. The groups examined are a UK video activist project a community of film and television fans originating in the US and an association of US community television producers. Rather than taking YouTube as its point of departure this book centres on the groups themselves contextualizing their contemporary distribution practices within their pre-Internet histories. It then follows the groups as they drew upon various Internet technologies beyond YouTube to create their often-complex video distribution assemblages a process that entangled them in these webs of relationships. Through the analysis of detailed ethnographic fieldwork conducted across a period of several years this book demonstrates that while the groups found some success in achieving their various goals as video makers their situations were often problematic and their agency limited with their practices contested by both human and technological actors within their distribution assemblages.

Ecology Capitalism and the New Agricultural EconomyThe Second Great Transformation With increasing pressure on resources the looming spectre of climate change and growing anxiety among eaters ecology and food are at the heart of the political debates surrounding agriculture and diet. This unique contribution unravels agri-environmental issues at different spatial levels from local to global documenting the major shifts in agriculture from a long-term perspective.The book begins by exploring the changes in the industrialisation and socialisation of agriculture over time through the lens of institutional economics including The French Regulation School and Conventions Theory. Building on Polanyi’s ‘Great Transformation’ the chapters in this volume analyse long-term and contemporary changes in agriculture and food systems that have occurred throughout the last few centuries. Key chapters focus on the historical changes in provisioning and the social relations of production consumption and regulation of food in different socio-political contexts. The future of agriculture is addressed through an analysis of controversial contemporary political claims and their engagement with strategies that aim to improve the sustainability of agriculture and food consumption.To shed light on ongoing changes and the future of food this book asks important environmental and social questions and analyses how industrial agriculture has played out in various contexts. It is recommended supplementary reading for postgraduates and researchers in agricultural studies food studies food policy the agri-food political economy and political and economic geography.

Ecology Sustainable Development and Accounting Accounting literature has viewed sustainability in terms of social economic and environmental performances. There have been concerns that the relationship between sustainability accounting and organizational performance cannot be explained unless we can deduce patterns of administrative behaviour that chronicle management practices. Ecology Sustainable Development and Accounting argues that despite the broader social and economic development dimensions of sustainability and the limitations of its extension to corporate and organizational behaviour; an ecological framework is capable of providing the overall societal and community chronologies that describe corporate sustainable operations. Drawing examples from international development and federal government organizations this book documents the link between ecology corporate sustainable development and sustainability accounting and reporting. It draws together the literature from several disciplines to elaborate the contribution of the ecological approach to sustainable development in the accounting literature. This book will be of particular interest to students academics and practitioners in the areas of environmental studies ecological economics sustainable development studies and social and environmental accounting. The sociological and anthropological perspectives make this book the first of its kind to apply the population ecology of sociology to both the sustainability and accounting literature.

Ecology Writing Theory and New MediaWriting Ecology Moving beyond ecocomposition this book galvanizes conversations in ecology and writing not with an eye toward homogenization but with an agenda of firmly establishing the significance of writing research that intersects with ecology. It looks to establish ecological writing studies not just as a legitimate or important form of writing research but as paramount to the future of writing studies and writing theory. Complex ecologies writing studies and new-media/post-media converge to highlight network theories systems theories and posthumanist theories as central in the shaping of writing theory and this study embraces work in these areas as essential to the development of ecological theories of writing. Contributors address ecological theories of writing by way of diverse and promising avenues united by the underlying commitment to better understand how ecological methodologies might help better inform our understanding of writing and might provoke new theories of writing. Ecology Writing Theory and New Media fuels future theoretical conversations about ecology and writing and will be of interest to those who are interested in theories of writing and the function of writing.

Ecology and Applied Environmental Science Ecology and Applied Environmental Science addresses the impact of contemporary environmental problems by using the main principles of scientific ecology. It offers a brief yet comprehensive explanation of ecosystems based on energy populations and cycles of chemical elements. The book presents a variety of scientific ecological issues and uses these to examine a range of environmental problems while considering potential engineering scientific and managerial solutions. It takes an engineering approach and avoids excessive biological detail while introducing ecology with a systemic approach. The book examines categories of organisms as well as the physical and chemical processes that affect them. It refers to the dynamics of populations and analysis of their major mutual influences elaborates on the roles of primary production limiting factors energy flow and circulation of chemical substances in the ecosystems and presents the basic functions of aquatic ecosystems. The author considers important issues related to environmental degradation of forests aquatic habitats coastal zones other natural landscapes and urban areas includes a survey of problems related to waste and toxic and radioactive substances and presents the greenhouse effect and impacts from climate change. He discusses environmental management prospects and the potential for technological control of pollution from liquid solid and gaseous waste. He also highlights existing tools for environmental management ecological and social aspects of biodiversity and landscape protection and the contrast between development and environment in combination with ideas about sustainability.

Ecology and BiomechanicsA Mechanical Approach to the Ecology of Animals and Plants We live in a well-engineered universe. This engineering is present in every system and organism in existence including in the actions and interactions of plants and animals. In fact one could say that the function and movement of plants and animals is just as much a part of their makeup as chlorophyll and fiber or bone and blood. Consequently if we want to understand the ecology of animals and plants especially in an integrated ecosystem it follows that great insight can be gained by taking an approach that studies function and integration of parts rather than the individual parts themselves.Ecology and Biomechanics: A Mechanical Approach to the Ecology of Animals and Plants offers a collection of state-of-the-art papers that ingeniously demonstrates how biomechanics can provide novel insights into long standing ecological and evolutionary questions. The majority of the book's chapters were originally presented at a symposium held at the annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology in Edinburgh U.K. in 2004. Combining approaches from various disciplines this volume covers subjects that encompass theoretical concepts and practical approaches involving research on both plants and animals as well as interactions between the two.Although most of the examples emphasize distinct organism-environment relationships such as the grazing of ruminants the book also includes a few examples that span larger temporal and spatial scales achieving wider application across ecosystems. This can be seen in the chapter Implications of Microbial Motility on the Water Column Ecosystems which highlights how microbial ecosystems can be understood from the mechanics morphology and motile responses of the individual organisms.Designed to serve as a reference for students and researchers Ecology and Biomechanics: A Mechanical Approach to the Ecology of Animals and Plants paves the way for further research.

Ecology and Conservation of Fishes Written as a stand-alone textbook for students and a useful reference for professionals in government and private agencies academic institutions and consultants Ecology and Conservation of Fishes provides broad comprehensive and systematic coverage of all aquatic systems from the mountains to the oceans. The book begins with overview discussions on the ecology evolution and diversity of fishes. It moves on to address freshwater estuarine and marine ecosystems and identifies factors that affect the distribution and abundance of fishes. It then examines the adaptations of fishes as a response to constraints posed in ecosystems. The book concludes with four chapters on applied ecology to discuss the critical issues of management conservation biodiversity crises and climate change. Major marine fisheries have collapsed and there are worldwide declines in freshwater fish populations. Fishery scientists and managers must become more effective at understanding and dealing with resource issues. If not fish species communities and entire ecosystems will continue to decline as habitats change and species are lost. Ecology and Conservation of Fishes has taken a historical and functional approach to explain how we got where we are providing old and new with a better foundation as ecologists and conservationists and most importantly it awakens senses of purpose and need.

Ecology and Conservation of Lesser Prairie-Chickens Shortlisted for the 2018 TWS Wildlife Publication Awards in the edited book category Lesser Prairie-Chickens have experienced substantial declines in terms of population and the extent of area that they occupy. While they are an elusive species making it difficult at times to monitor them current evidence indicates that they have been persistently decreasing in number since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s dramatically affected their core range. In May of 2014 the United States Fish and Wildlife Service listed Lesser Prairie-Chickens as a threatened species granting them federal protection under the Endangered Species Act which included a special rule recognizing significant conservation planning efforts made by state and federal wildlife agencies within the geographical range of the species. Although the listing was vacated by judicial ruling in September 2015 concern for persistence of the species persists. These actions illustrate the uncertain legal status and future conservation challenges for Lesser Prairie-Chickens. Ecology and Conservation of Lesser Prairie-Chickens provides a compendium of data analytical results and synthesis generated among expert wildlife biologists conservation biologists and ornithologists. It thoroughly reviews the life history genetics and ecology of the species and is ultimately directed toward developing and establishing appropriate conservation management strategies. It presents a detailed analysis of the issues and risks relative to conservation as well as an overview of potential conservation tools. It also addresses the challenges that natural resource managers continue to face in their current conservation efforts. While dealing with immediate and short-term issues in Lesser Prairie-Chicken conservation this book is also a useful starting point for guiding future research management and conservation of the species. Published in collaboration with and on behalf of The American Ornithological Society  this volume in the highly-regarded Studies in Avian Biology series provides a definitive reference for researchers managers and policy makers as well as those with interests in environmental science avian biology game bird management or Great Plains ecology.

Ecology and Environment in European Drama Looking at European drama through an ecological lens this book chronicles nature and the environment as primary topics in major plays from ancient to recent times. Cless focuses on the few yet well-known plays in which nature is at stake in the action or the environment is a dramatic force. Though theater predominantly explores human and cultural themes these plays fully display the power of the other-than-human world and its endangerment during the history of Europe. While offering a broad overview the book features extensive case studies of several playwrights plays and eco-theater productions: Aristophanes’ The Birds Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest and Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot. In each case Cless connects nature in the play to nature in the life of the playwright based on biographical research into the understanding of natural philosophy and awareness of the immediate environment that influenced the specific play. The book is one of the first of its kind in a growing field of ecocriticism and emerging eco-studies of theater. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415807791

Ecology and Environmental EthicsGreen Wood in the Bundle of Sticks Originally published in 2004. Examining the successes and failures of three decades of environmental law this absorbing book reconsiders some of the policies devised to remedy centuries of abuse of the planet. It acknowledges the advances made using technological standards to effect pollution control as well as rudimentary systems that regulate use of land at the local level. However as the author observes these systems have limitations in solving vexing problems such as sprawl and non-point source pollution as the cost of their use can easily outweigh the benefits. He suggests a system termed 'Green Wood in the Bundle of Sticks' that provides the necessary theoretical and historical bases to bridge the gap between the potentials of each system. Using objective criteria based on science this system is tied to a land ownership system that also takes into account societal concerns at a broader level.

Ecology and Management of Blackbirds (Icteridae) in North America Shortlisted for the 2018 TWS Wildlife Publication Awards in the edited book categoryThe various species of new world blackbirds often intermingled in large foraging flocks and nighttime roosts collectively number in the hundreds of millions and are a dominant component of the natural and agricultural avifauna in North America today. Because of their abundance conspicuous flocking behavior and feeding habits these species have often been in conflict with human endeavors. The pioneering publications on blackbirds were by F. E. L. Beal in 1900 and A. A. Allen in 1914. These seminal treatises laid the foundation for more than 1 000 descriptive and experimental studies on the life histories of blackbirds as well as their ecology and management in relation to agricultural damage and other conflicts such as caused by large winter roosting congregations. The wealth of information generated in over a century of research is found in disparate outlets that include government reports conference proceedings peer-reviewed journals monographs and books. For the first time Ecology and Management of Blackbirds (Icteridae) in North America summarizes and synthesizes this vast body of information on the biology and life histories of blackbirds and their conflicts with humans into a single volume for researchers wildlife managers agriculturists disease biologists ornithologists policy makers and the public. The book reviews the life histories of red-winged blackbirds yellow-headed blackbirds common grackles and brown-headed cowbirds. It provides in-depth coverage of the functional roles of blackbirds in natural and agricultural ecosystems. In doing so this authoritative reference promotes the development of improved science-based integrated management strategies to address conflicts when resolutions are needed.

Ecology and Management of Terrestrial Vertebrate Invasive Species in the United States Vertebrate invasive species are important ecologically socially and scientifically throughout much of the globe. However the interdiction and options for management of invasive species are driven by localized regulation at the country or even state level and thus the management of species must be framed within that context. This book is focused around the management of invasive vertebrate species in the United States although readers will find much of the material broadly applicable to invasive species in other regions. Vertebrate invasive species cause damage to agriculture property natural resources and threaten human health and safety. However most of these species occur in the United States resulting from human-mediated activities often being released intentionally. For the first time the wealth of scientific information about vertebrate invasive species in the United States is summarized and synthesized in a single volume to be easily accessible to ecologists and natural resource managers. With a focus on prominent terrestrial invasive species that have a history of policy and management and highlighting contemporary issues and management this book consists of 18 chapters written by experts from across the United States. The first section of the book focuses on overarching policy and management topics associated with vertebrate invasive species; including biosecurity threats and risk assessment policy and regulation and the economics of their management. The second section provides in-depth reviews of noteworthy invasive mammals birds amphibians and reptiles. After finishing this book the reader should understand the complexity of managing invasive species the unique challenges that each new species may present and the steps forward that may decrease the impact of these species on the environment human health and the economy.

Most of the contributors use the perspective of "political ecology" as a point of departure recognizing that human relations to the environment and human social relations are not separate phenomena but inextricably intertwined. What makes this volume unique is that it sets this approach in a trans-disciplinary global and historical framework. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415643085

Ecology and RevolutionHerbert Marcuse and the Challenge of a New World System Today A timely addition to Henry Giroux’s Critical Interventions series Ecology and Revolution is grounded in the Frankfurt School critical theory of Herbert Marcuse. Its task is to understand the economic architecture of wealth extraction that undergirds today’s intensifying inequalities of class race and gender within a revolutionary ecological frame. Relying on newly discovered texts from the Frankfurt Marcuse Archive this book builds theory and practice for an alternate world system. Ecology and radical political economy as critical forms of systems analysis show that an alternative world system is essential – both possible and feasible – despite political forces against it. Our rights to a commonwealth economy politics and culture reside in our commonworks as we express ourselves as artisans of the common good. It is in this context that Charles Reitz develops a GreenCommonWealth Counter-Offensive a strategy for revolutionary ecological liberation with core features of racial equality women’s equality liberation of labor restoration of nature leisure abundance and peace.

Ecology and the Architectural Imagination By including ecological concerns in the design process from the outset architecture can enhance life. Author Brook Muller understands how a designer’s predispositions and poetic judgement in dealing with complex and dynamic ecological systems impact the "greenness" of built outcomes. Ecology and the Architectural Imagination offers a series of speculations on architectural possibility when ecology is embedded from conceptual phases onward how notions of function and structure of ecosystems can inspire ideas of architectural space making and order and how the architect’s role and contribution can shift through this engagement. As an ecological architect working in increasingly dense urban environments you can create diverse spaces of inhabitation and connect project scale living systems with those at the neighborhood and region scales. Equipped with ecological literacy critical thinking and collaboration skills you are empowered to play important roles in the remaking of our cities.

Ecology and the Literature of the British LeftThe Red and the Green Premised on the belief that a social and an ecological agenda are compatible this collection offers readings in the ecology of left and radical writing from the Romantic period to the present. While early ecocriticism tended to elide the bitter divisions within and between societies recent practitioners of ecofeminism environmental justice and social ecology have argued that the social the economic and the environmental have to be seen as part of the same process. Taking up this challenge the contributors trace the origins of an environmental sensibility and of the modern left to their roots in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries charting the ways in which the literary imagination responds to the political industrial and agrarian revolutions. Topics include Samuel Taylor Coleridge's credentials as a green writer the interaction between John Ruskin's religious and political ideas and his changing view of nature William Morris and the Garden City movement H. G. Wells and the Fabians the devastated landscapes in the poetry and fiction of the First World War and the leftist pastoral poetry of the 1930s. In historicizing and connecting environmentally sensitive literature with socialist thought these essays explore the interactive vision of nature and society in the work of writers ranging from William Wordsworth and John Clare to John Berger and John Burnside.

Ecology of Communication Altheide's new book advances the argument set in motion some years ago with 'Media Logic' and continued in 'Media Worlds in the Postjournalism Era:' that in our age information technology and the communication environments it posits have affected the private and the social spheres of all our power relationships redefining the ground rules for social life and concepts such as freedom and justice. Articulated through an interactionist and non-deterministic focus 'An Ecology of Communication' offers a distinctive perspective for understanding the impact of information technology communication formats and social activities in the new electronic environment. As more routines rituals and activities incorporate such technologies within their organizational cultures new sorts of activities are added and previous ones are changed according to an underlying logic explored in these pages. Various chapters illustrate some of these altered and redefined organizational cultures: bureaucracy the mass media computer formats war surveillance and testing among others.

Ecology of Fire-Dependent EcosystemsWildland Fire Science Policy and Management Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems is brimming with intriguing ecological stories of how life has evolved with and diversified within the varied fire regimes that are experienced on earth. Moreover the book places itself as a communication between students fire scientists and fire fighters and each of these groups will find some familiar ground and some challenging aspects in this text: something which ultimately will help to bring us closer together and enrich our different approaches to understanding and managing our changing planet. -- Sally Archibald Professor University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg South Africa Most textbooks are as dry as kindling and about as much fun to sink your teeth into. This is not that kind of textbook. Devan Allen McGranahan and Carissa L. Wonkka have taken a complex topic and somehow managed to synthesize it into a comprehensive yet digestible form. This is a book you can read cover to cover – I know I did it. As a result I took an enlightening journey through the history and fundamentals of fire and its role in the natural and human world ending with a thoughtful review of the evolving relationship between humans and wildland fire. -- Chris Helzer Nebraska Director of Science The Nature Conservancy and author of The Prairie Ecologist blog Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems: Wildland Fire Science Policy and Management is intended for use in upper-level courses in fire ecology and wildland fire management and as a reference for researchers managers and other professionals involved with wildland fire science practice and policy. The book helps guide students and scientists to design and conduct robust wildland fire research projects and critically interpret and apply fire science in any management education or policy situation. It emphasizes variability in wildland fire as an ecological regime and provides tools for students researchers and managers to assess and connect fire environment and fire behaviour to fire effects. Fire has not only shaped social and ecological communities but pushed ecosystems beyond previous boundaries yet understanding the nature and effects of fire as an ecological disturbance has been slow hampered by the complexity of the dynamic interactions between vegetation and climate and the fear of the destruction fire can bring. This book will help those who study manage and use wildland fire to develop new answers and novel solutions based on an understanding of how fire functions in natural and social environments. It reviews literature synthesizes concepts and identifies research gaps and policy needs. The text also explores the interaction of fire and human culture demonstrating how fire policy can be made adaptable to cultural and socio-ecological objectives.

EcominimalismThe Antidote to Eco-bling Eco-minimalism: the antidote to eco-bling reminds us that to build energy-efficient ecologically benign and sustainable buildings is complex comprising a set of interdependent factors influenced by little-understood science. The headline technologies while legitimate in isolation become less obvious in practice when context building use local climate geology economics and many other influences come into play. The danger is that buildings are ‘greenwashed’ with eco-bling which is at best unnecessary and at worst counter productive and ecologically damaging. This book exposes the pitfalls of such greenwashing in an immediate visually-arresting and authoritative way. The quickfire format is based on 30 years of practical experience. Its central message is that eco-bling should be ditched in favour of ‘eco-minimalism’ – the holistic considered and appropriate deployment of building science in support of truly ecological affordable sustainable architecture for everyone. The book is based on original experience and research from an architect at the vanguard of ‘green’ architecture. A critique of the technical fix approach is counterbalanced with the good housekeeping and frequently counter-intuitive eco-minimal alternative aimed at aspirant green architects other construction professionals developers and owners for projects at all scales.A concluding chapter examines costs demonstrating that eco-minimalism represents not just good green value for money but quite simply good value for money.

Economic Social and Cultural Rights Economic Social and Cultural Rights is a collection of seminal papers examining legal conceptual and practical questions regarding the international legal protection of economic social and cultural rights. The volume discusses what human rights obligations economic social and cultural rights entail for states and non-state actors; the nature and scope of substantive economic social and cultural rights such as education health work water enjoyment of the benefits of scientific progress and cultural rights; as well as the justiciability of these rights at an international level and at the national level. The paramount importance of such questions is illustrated among other things by the catastrophic situation of economic social and cultural rights as human rights in developing and developed states. The volume is divided into three main parts which focus on human rights obligations for states and non-state actors arising from treaties protecting economic social and cultural rights; analysis of selected substantive rights; and finally the justiciability of economic social and cultural rights in various contexts such as within the United Nations Europe Inter-American and African systems as well as within the domestic system.

Economic AbundanceAn Introduction Most principles of economics texts are predicated narrowly on the concept of scarcity as a fundamental force but that is only one aspect of economics. This supplemental text for basic and intermediate level undergraduates provides a serious discussion of the concept of abundance - what it means how we can move toward it and what keeps us from doing so. The authors first outline the development of the concept of abundance and its meaning with discussions of the roles of population resources and the environment. Then they consider why abundance escapes us focusing on the detrimental roles of four predatory behaviors - classism nationalism sexism and racism. As a remedy they propose a policy of universal employment as a replacement for full employment and explore the effects of pushing the unemployment rate down to absolute zero.

Economic Analyses at EPAAssessing Regulatory Impact For years the Environmental Protection Agency has been conducting programmatic 'economic analyses ' also known as Regulatory Impact Analyses (RIAs) to assess the economic effects of its regulatory efforts. This important volume explains the purpose of these analyses along with their design execution conclusions and their ultimate impact on environmental rules. Richard Morgenstern formerly director of EPA‘s Office of Policy Analysis has assembled twelve original case studies of RIAs performed over the past decade on matters such as lead in gasoline ozone depletion asbestos clean drinking water and sewage management. The contributors most of whom actually worked on these RIAs provide detailed examination of why and how they were performed. The case studies critique the nature amount and quality of data used by the EPA in their benefit-cost and cost-effectiveness analyses as well as the use (or abuse) of the results in final decisionmaking. The authors illustrate how the analyses take into account difficult issues such as discounting risk nonmonetized benefits and costs and equity. Morgenstern provides the necessary historical context and the legal framework for requiring and conducting EAs. He describes new procedures outlined by the Clinton administration and synthesizes the case studies into thoughtful cross-cutting conclusions drawing important lessons that will improve future analyses.

Economic Analysis and Public Enterprises Originally published in 1971 this is a rigorous analysis of the economic aspects of the efficiency of public enterprises at the time. The author first restates and extends the relevant parts of welfare economics and then illustrates its application to particular cases drawing on the work of the National Board for Prices and Incomes of which he was Deputy Chairman. The analysis is developed stage by stage with the emphasis on applicability and ease of comprehension rather than on generality or mathematical elegance. Financial performance the second-best the optimal degree of complexity of price structures and problems of optimal quality are first discussed in a static framework. Time is next introduced leading to a marginal cost concept derived from a multi-period optimizing model. The analysis is then related to urban transport shipping gas and coal. This is likely to become a standard work of more general scope than the authors earlier book on electricity supply. It rests however on a similar combination of economic theory and high-level experience of the real problems of public enterprises. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367189617

Economic Analysis for Ecosystem-Based ManagementApplications to Marine and Coastal Environments Ocean and coastal management regimes are increasingly subject to competing demands from stakeholders. Regulations must not only address fishing recreation and shipping but also sand and gravel mining gas pipelines harbor/port development offshore wind and tidal energy facilities liquefied natural gas terminals offshore aquaculture and desalinization plants. The growing variety and intensity of ocean and coastal uses increases the call for a more holistic comprehensive and coordinated management approach that recognizes the often complex relationships between natural and human systems. For both economist and non-economist audiences this book describes ways in which economic analysis can be an important tool to inform and improve ecosystem-based management (EBM). Topics include modeling economic impacts benefit-cost analysis spatial considerations in EBM incentives and human behaviors and accounting for uncertainty in policy analysis. Throughout the book the authors elucidate the different kinds of insights which can be gained from the use of different economic tools. In this rigorous and accessible work the authors defy the conventional stereotype that economic perspectives necessarily favor the greatest commercial development. Instead they demonstrate how comprehensive economic analyses consider the full range of potential services offered by marine and coastal ecosystems including the conservation of biodiversity and creation of recreational opportunities.

Economic Analysis of Property Law Cases The discipline of law and economics has earned a reputation for developing plausible and empirically testable theories on the social functions and the impact of legal institutions. Property rights are a field in which this has been very successful. In this book economic property rights theories are applied to case law in order to examine the practice and solution of real life conflicts. The author examines the economic problems which are dealt with in these cases and evaluate the courts’ decisions from an economic angle. Cases are examined from across the UK the US Germany Belgium and Canada to allow international comparisons to be made. These comparisons reveal that regardless of the legal system many legal issues have similar economic roots and therefore similar models of economic analysis can be applied. The analysis of these cases also shows that the discipline of law and economics is not only successful in developing explanatory models but also useful to generate better considerations and solutions for legal conflicts in individual cases. This book aims to bridge the gap between the academic and professional literature and demonstrate the benefits of the economic analysis of property rights cases to all those who are interested in law and economics.

Economic Analysis of the Environmental Impacts of Development Projects It has always been thought that some level of pollution and waste is unavoidable in development projects. But no one has made much effort to quantify and assess the extent of this sort of damage. In this book a group of analysts from the Asian Development Bank and from the East West Center propose a means of constructing useful economic evaluations of the impacts of development projects on the environments in which they are constructed. This study demands the systematic evaluation of all the intentional and unintentional consequences of development initiatives before they are determined upon.

Economic and Environmental Regulation of International AviationFrom Inter-national to Global Governance The core structure of the regulatory regime for international civil aviation (the ‘Chicago System’) is inter–national. The features of the Chicago System were designed in an era when the world’s airlines were State–owned and the most pressing international concerns were for navigation and safety regulation. Economic liberalization and intense globalization since the Second World War have impacted on the industry; today it is global. This book observes the developing governance of global aviation taking into account the concepts of sovereignty jurisdiction and territoriality and the proliferation of actors and participants as partners in a global public policy network to posit that an upgraded system of global governance for civil aviation helps to explain the emerging complex landscape for global governance of civil aviation. As evidence of the emerging complex matrix of governance of global aviation this book identifies and reviews a selection of contemporary transnational economic and environmental challenges facing the globalized aviation sector e.g. fair competition safeguards consumer protection noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and the respective ‘legal’ and policy actions taken at national level (United Arab Emirates Qatar and People’s Republic of China) regional level (the European Union) and international level (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and International Civil Aviation Organization). The book concludes that economic and environmental regulation of international aviation designed for an inter–national world of yesterday evolves into global governance of aviation which is more suited for today’s global world. 　This book will be of particular interest to scholars and practitioners of aviation law competition law and environmental law as well as in the areas of transnational law global governance and international relations.

Economic and Political Change after CrisisProspects for government liberty and the rule of law The U.S. Government’s accumulated national debt and unfunded liabilities in social security and Medicare could be pushing the country towards a fiscal crisis. How could such a crisis be avoided? If a crisis does strike how might it be dealt with? What might be the long term ramifications of experiencing a crisis? The contributors to Economic and Political Change After Crisis explore all of these questions and more. The book begins by exploring how past crises have permanently increased the size and scope of government and how well the rule of law has been maintained during these crises. Chapters explore how these relationships might change in a future crisis and examine how the structure of the U.S. government contributes to a tendency towards fiscal imbalance. In a provocative contribution the authors predict a U.S. government default on its debt. The book concludes by considering how a fiscal crisis might precipitate or interact with other forms of crises. Social scientists from a variety of disciplines public policy makers and concerned members of the general public would all benefit from the contributions contained in this book. If the U.S. is going to avoid a future crisis or do as well as possible if a crisis occurs the arguments in these chapters should be given serious consideration.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the tension between migrants and their integration processes in the receiving country which is deeply influenced by the attitude of the local population and the different approach to highly and less skilled immigrants. The second part analyses the impact of migration on the economic structure of the receiving country while the third part explores the varying degree of immigrants’ socioeconomic integration in the country of destination. The book offers an essential interdisciplinary contribution to the issue of migration and provides readers with a better understanding of the effects that different forms of migration have had and will continue to exert on economic and social change in host countries. It also examines migration policy issues and builds on historical and empirical case studies with policy recommendations on labour market integration and welfare policy issues. The book is addressed to a wide audience including researchers academics and students of economics sociology politics and history as well as government/EU officials working on migration topics.

Economic and Social Rights and the Maintenance of International Peace and Security This text comprises cutting-edge research on one of the greatest global challenges: the failure to address systematic economic and social exclusion and attendant violations of economic and social rights (ESR) as a driver of conflict.　The text explores what the UN's obligation to maintain international peace and security can mean when it is informed by the requirement to protect and promote ESR rights that play a crucial role in maintaining international peace and security but which are often overlooked. The book considers the extent to which Security Council mandated peace operations have been informed by human rights and efforts to promote economic and social development. The approach is to analyse the extent to which the Security Council has interacted with the General Assembly the Economic and Social Council as well as other Charter-based mechanisms such as the Human Rights Council and its predecessor with particular reference to the role of the Special Procedure Mechanisms. The role of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is also considered. In this way the text shows that the connection between peace and security and human rights is well recognised by these organs. In addition the text considers States’ ESR obligations stemming from the extraterritorial application of such rights in the context of peace operations. Given that States’ obligations stemming from ESR have often been neglected the book examines how such provision could be improved using ESR-grounded plans reflecting the rights to health food water education work and life. The text concludes with a call to reimagine what international peace and security can look like when it is informed by the need to recognise the emergence of post-conflict legal obligations based on broader concepts of international peace and security that draw from ESR. This text will appeal to legal scholars policy advisors members of the military those working in the area of development NGOs and final-year undergraduate and/or postgraduate students working in the areas of international law political science and international relations and associated fields of research.

Economic and Social Rights LawIncorporation Justiciability and Principles of Adjudication This book develops principles of adjudication to facilitate accountability for violations of Economic and Social Rights. Economic and Social Rights engage with areas relating to social justice and their violation tends to impact on the most vulnerable members of society. Taking the UK as a case study the book draws on international experience and comparative practice including progressive reform at the devolved subnational level that demonstrate the potential reach of Economic and Social Rights when the rights are given legal standing in domestic settings according to their status in international law. The work looks at different models of incorporation of rights into domestic law and sets out existing justiciability mechanisms for their enforcement as well as future models open to development. In so doing the book develops principles of adjudication drawn from deliberative democracy theory that help address some of the critiques of social rights adjudication. This book will have a global and cross-sectoral appeal to legal practitioners the judiciary and the civil services as well as to researchers academics and students in the fields of human rights law comparative constitutional law and deliberative democracy theory.

Economic and Trade Policies in the Arab WorldEmployment Poverty Reduction and Integration The Arab Spring and recent popular uprisings that have taken place in many Arab countries since the end of 2010 highlight the urgent need for economic policy reorientation in these countries. This book addresses key issues relevant to the contemporary economic realities of the Arab economies; including policy space generation of more productive and decent employment social justice and poverty alleviation regional integration and the common destiny of the Arab people and the failure of the structural adjustment programs recommended by the Bretton Woods institutions and implemented in these countries in the last three decades. The volume explores and makes recommendations for deep pan Arab regional integration and alternative pro-poor growth-oriented economic and trade policies capable of promoting social justice by reducing the incidence of poverty. It highlights the ways in which various types of economic and trade policies have affected the levels of employment and poverty in five Arab countries: Egypt Jordan Morocco the occupied Palestinian territory and Sudan. Using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methodologies the book focuses on Arab trade integration exploring the obstacles to its implementation in the past as well as its potentials as a source of employment generation and enhancement of living conditions. The book also addresses the construction interpretation and use of quantitative trade indicators for optimal policy choice at both the domestic and regional levels.

Economic Assistance and Conflict TransformationPeacebuilding in Northern Ireland This book examines the role of economic aid in the management and resolution of protracted ethnic conflicts focusing on the case study of Northern Ireland. The book describes the results of a study of the role of economic aid within Northern Ireland through the viewpoints of citizens collected in an opinion poll as well as community group leaders whose projects received funding funding-agency civil servants and development officers. The study explains the importance of economic and social development in promoting cross-community contact as well as within single-identity communities and the need for a multitrack intervention approach to transform the conflict in Northern Ireland. It makes an important contribution to our understanding of how economic assistance impacts on a divided society with a history of protracted violence and provides important perspectives on the "peace through development" idea. One of the key unanswered questions relating to economic aid and preventing future violence is that of the significance of external economic aid in building peace after violence. By examining the respondents’ political imagery this book expands on existing work on economic aid and peace building in other societies coming out of violence. Northern Ireland’s changing social-economic and political context reflects the fact that economic aid and sustainable economic development is a cornerstone of the peacebuilding process. The goal of the book is to provide a foundational knowledge base for students and practitioners about the role of economic aid in building the peace dividend in post-accord societies. The book will be of great interest to students of conflict resolution peacebuilding Irish politics peace and conflict studies and politics and IR in general.

Economic Behaviour (Routledge Revivals)An Introduction First published in 1980 Economic Behaviour: An Introduction has been written specifically to speed up the settling-in process of students new to the subject of economics. It starts at the shallow end with the family budget and proceeds via an examination of business decision-taking to the analysis of supply and demand in goods and factor markets. The second half of the book deals with the major macroeconomic aggregates national income employment and the price level – giving both Keynesian and Monetarist approaches a fair hearing. The book ends with two chapters on economic policy and concludes with a chapter on methods of building and testing economic models – a subject which is both interesting and useful by the time students have grasped the essence of economic analysis. Throughout the author makes economics relevant and at the same time presents basic theoretical techniques of analysis and controversies in a manner which makes translation to one of the major standard theory texts as smooth as possible.

Economic Benefits Of Improved Water QualityPublic Perceptions Of Option And Preservation Values Until recently there has been general agreement that improvement and preservation of water quality though costly provided economic and social benefits that outweighed the expense. Now however some observers are beginning to question whether the costs of the 1972 Water Pollution Control Act may actually exceed those benefits. This book provides answers to some of the questions that have been raised. The authors give measures of several important nonmarket benefits of improved water quality in Colorado's South Platte River Basin and empirically test and confirm the Weisbrod and Krutilla proposals that the general public may be willing to pay for preservation of environmental amenities and that option value and other preservation values must be added to recreation-use values to give an accurate picture of the social benefits of environmental preservation and restoration. Their findings include the fact that even those who do not expect to use the river basin for recreation are willing to pay for the maintenance of a natural ecosystem and to bequest clean water to future generations. The authors also arrive at average amounts households are willing to pay for improved water quality to enhance enjoyment of water-based recreation activities. They suggest that without such information it is highly unlikely that sufficient resources will be allocated for the preservation of unique environments and for the improvement of those being degraded.

Economic Complexity and Equilibrium IllusionEssays on market instability and macro vitality The Principle of Large Numbers indicates that macro fluctuations have weak microfoundations; persistent business cycles and interrupted technologies can be better characterized by macro vitality and meso foundations. Economic growth is limited by market extent and ecological constraints. The trade-off between stability and complexity is the foundation of cultural diversity and mixed economies. The new science of complexity sheds light on the sources of economic instability and complexity. This book consists of the major work of Professor Ping Chen a pioneer in studying economic chaos and economic complexity. The chapters are selected from works completed since 1987 including original research on evolutionary dynamics of division of labor empirical and theoretical studies of economic chaos and stochastic models of collective behavior. Offering a new perspective on market instability and the changing world order the basic pillars in equilibrium economics are challenging by solid evidence of economic complexity and time asymmetry including Friedman’s theory of exogenous money and efficient market the Frisch model of noise-driven cycles the Lucas model of microfoundations and rational expectations the Black-Scholes model of option pricing and the Coase theory of transaction costs. Throughout a general framework based on complex evolutionary dynamics is developed which integrates different insights from Smith Malthus Marx Schumpeter and Keynes and others a new understanding of the evolutionary history of division of labor. This book will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers in Economics including macroeconomics financial economics advanced econometrics and economic methodology.

Economic Complexity and Human DevelopmentHow Economic Diversification and Social Networks Affect Human Agency and Welfare This book combines the human development approach and innovation economics in order to explore the effects that structural economic change has on human development. While economic diversification can provide valuable new social choices and capabilities it also tends to lead to more complex decision processes and changes to the set of capabilities required by people to self-determine their future. Within this process of structural transformation social networks are crucial for accessing information and social support but networks can also be a root cause of exclusion and inequality reproduction. This implies the need to encourage innovation and economic diversification beyond production expansion focusing on the promotion of human agency and social inclusion. This book provides such a modern perspective on development economics emphasizing the role of social networks economic diversity and entrepreneurship for social welfare. The author discusses how innovation social networks economic dynamics and human development are interlinked and provides several practical examples of social and micro-entrepreneurship in contexts as diverse as Peruvian rural villages and Brazil’s urban areas.The interdisciplinary perspective put forward in this book illustrates theoretical and methodological methods of exploring the complexity of development in a practical and relevant way. It also provides useful information about structural factors which need to be considered by practitioners when designing pro-poor growth policies. Furthermore the coverage of the core concepts of innovation networks and development economics enriched with multiple examples makes it a valuable resource for scholars and advanced students of modern development economics.

Economic Consequences of GlobalizationEvidence from East Asia Economists have long recognized the gains from international trade. The question is does international trade – or more broadly globalization – increase growth? Notwithstanding the debates there are still many questions old and new need to be explored in order to improve our understanding on various aspects of globalization including its consequences. This book addresses some of these questions utilizing micro datasets of some East Asian countries. The focus on East Asia is particularly interesting for the reason that most of these countries have relatively more opened economy and experienced a rapid de facto integration quite recently. The book puts forward questions which are related to the relationship between globalization on the one hand and firm performance activities or characteristics on the other. The chapters draw recent theoretical framework from the relevant literatures and then empirically test - mostly by econometric analysis – the hypotheses on these relationships. The extent or magnitude of the globalization impact is also demonstrated by the means of descriptive analysis. Finally there are useful insights for policy decision-makers to be drawn from the empirical results. The book presents rigorous empirical analysis based on recent theoretical framework in international economics focusing on the highest growing region in the world. The use of micro-data analysis â€“ a key feature of this book â€“ gives us much richer information on various issues of globalization. This book therefore should be of the interest to scholars and postgraduate students of international economics development economics and East Asian economics.

Economic Cooperation between Singapore and IndiaAn Alliance in the Making? Asian interregional economic cooperation has assumed greater prominence with the rise of Asia’s two giant economies of China and India. The economic liberalization of China’s economy in 1979 followed by India in 1991 signalled the presence of business opportunities to foreign investors - including those from Asia. This book examines the growing economic relations between India and Singapore which has culminated in a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) signed by both economies in June 2005. Using the information technology sector as the main case study of the ‘alliance’ between Singapore and India the book examines the challenges that both have overcome to expand their bilateral trade. In the process Singapore has become one of the top five foreign investors in India. The CECA is important as it is the first free trade agreement that Singapore signed with a developing country; and furthermore it provided a blueprint for India to conclude similar FTAs with other ASEAN members. This book provides a competitive analysis for intra-regional foreign direct investment. Faizal Yahya demonstrates that the economic relationship between Singapore and India illuminates how both economies are attempting to meet future challenges. It will be of interest to scholars of international business studies cross-cultural management international trade international relations information management and South and Southeast Asian Studies.

Economic Crises and Global Politics in the 20th Century This book analyses the history of economic crises from the angle of international politics and its transformation throughout the 20th century. While political and economic debates in the wake of the present financial crisis are revolving around the question of how to create effective forms of global governance historians have discovered a long tradition of international economic regulation that can be traced back to the late 19th century. In the global economy sovereign defaults banking crises and currency crashes have been recurrent phenomena. At the same time alongside the growing globalization of commodity and capital markets nation-states have introduced new forms of regulation both on the national and international level. The experience of economic crises has been an important driver behind numerous initiatives to foster global politics. The purpose of the book is to reconnect economic history with the perspectives of political economy and the history of international relations. It forms a dialogue between the disciplines that have been increasingly separated throughout the past decades. With first-rate economic historians and political economists writing for a wider audience it simultaneously makes public debates and methods of recent cutting-edge research in economic history within a wider academic community.

Economic Crisis and Austerity in Southern EuropeThreat or Opportunity for a Sustainable Welfare State Southern Europe has been hit hard by the global economic crisis and as such their welfare states have come under acute strain. Unmet need has sharply increased while significant welfare reforms and deep social spending cuts have been prominent in the crisis management solutions implemented by governments labouring under EU constraints and the strict rescue-deal requirements for Greece and Portugal. This volume provides a systematic comparative appraisal of welfare-state reform trajectories across Southern Europe prior to and during the crisis and traces the impact of austerity policies and wider recession upon income inequality and poverty. It brings together a number of cross-country studies on major social policy areas raising crucial questions. What policy choices are driving reforms as Southern European economies work their way out of fiscal difficulty? Can the crisis provoke the improvement of institutional capabilities and recalibration of social? Or instead does structural adjustment indicate a significant policy turn towards the erosion of social rights? The contributions critically approach these issues and bring evidence to bear upon whether Southern European welfare capitalisms are becoming more dissimilar. This book was originally published as a special issue of South European Society & Politics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138059511

Economic Crisis and Crisis Theory Keynesian economics claimed to have overcome the problem of economic depressions. However as Mattick argues that crises are inherent within capitalism and that neither the market nor Keynesianism can stop "the steady deterioration of the economy". Written in 1974 Economic Crisis and Crisis Theory is one of Mattick's most valuable contributions to the Marxist critique of political economy and radical theory in general.

Economic Crisis and Economic ThoughtAlternative Theoretical Perspectives on the Economic Crisis The ongoing economic crisis has revealed fundamental problems both in our economic system and the discipline which analyses it. This book presents a series of contrasting but complementary approaches in economic theory in order to offer a critical toolkit for examining the modern capitalist economy. The global economic crisis may have changed the world in which we live but not the fundamental tenets of the discipline. This book is a critical assessment of the relation between economic theory and economic crises: how intellectual thinking impacts on real economic events and vice versa. It aims at challenging the conventional way in which economics is taught in universities and later adopted by public officials in the policymaking process. The contributions all written by distinguished academics and researchers offer a heterodox perspective on economic thinking and analysis. Each chapter is inspired by alternative theoretical approaches which have been mostly side-lined from current academic teaching programmes. A major suggestion of the book is that the recent economic crisis can be better understood by recovering such theoretical analyses and turning them into a useful framework for economic policymaking. Economic Crisis and Economic Thought is intended as a companion to economics students at the Master’s and PhD level in order for them to confront issues related to the labour market the financial sector macroeconomics industrial economics etc. with an alternative and complementary perspective. It challenges the way in which economic theory is currently taught and offered via alternatives for the future. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367662028

Economic Crisis and Mass ProtestThe Pots and Pans Revolution in Iceland Although the triggering effect of economic crises on revolt is a classic sociological topic crises have until recently mostly triggered large-scale collective action in developing countries. The antigovernment protests that occurred in several European countries in the aftermath of the global financial crisis brought crises to the forefront of collective action research in democratic societies as well as provide important opportunities for studying how crises can trigger large-scale collective action. This volume focusses on Iceland’s ’Pots and Pans Revolution’ a series of large scale antigovernment protests and riots that took place in Iceland in autumn 2008 and January 2009. The Icelandic case offers a rare opportunity to study processes that can trigger political protest in an affluent democratic society. The protests took place in the aftermath of a national financial collapse triggered by the global financial crisis in early October 2008. While having almost no tradition of mass protest Iceland was among the first countries to respond to the global crisis with large-scale protest. The level of public mobilization was exceptionally high (about 25 percent participation rate) and the protests did not stop until they had brought down the ruling government of Iceland. Using qualitative and quantitative data this volume situates the protest in historical-cultural context and applies social movement theory to explore how the economic crisis ended up triggering the protests thus providing a step toward understanding why the global financial crisis has triggered public unrest in other countries.

Economic Crisis and Structural Reforms in Southern EuropePolicy Lessons In recent years the countries of southern Europe have undergone with varying intensity a serious and prolonged economic crisis. Most have had to implement comprehensive economic adjustment programmes including a wide range of structural reforms. Economic Crisis and Structural Reforms in Southern Europe examines these reforms drawing policy lessons from their successes and failures.This book employs two basic strands of analysis: issues of policy design and political economy considerations. It considers the choice of timing and sequencing of reforms the choice of the appropriate policy instruments the pressure of interest groups and the political calculations involved in reforms. Featuring chapters in which contributors explore both national cases of specific structural reforms and a comparative approach in order to evaluate similar reforms across countries this important and topical work explores ongoing issues within the economy. Focusing on the challenges of designing and implementing structural reforms under conditions of crisis this book will be of interest to policy makers and researchers from national and international organizations as well as academics and members of research institutes interested in the economics and politics of the Eurozone crisis.

Economic Crisis in EuropeCauses Consequences and Responses The European economy is emerging from its deepest recession since the 1930s. This volume which brings together economic analysis from the European Commission services explains how swift policy response avoided a financial meltdown; but turning the ongoing recovery into sustained growth requires action on five challenges: boosting potential output enhancing labour market flexibility preparing fiscal consolidation facilitating intra-EU adjustment and unwinding global imbalances. Europe also needs an improved co-ordinated crisis-management framework to help it respond to any similar situations that may arise in the future.Economic Crisis in Europe shows that the beginnings of such a crisis-management framework are emerging building on existing institutions and legislation and complemented by new initiatives. Naturally initial EU policy efforts such as fiscal stimulus focused on crisis control and mitigation. But first steps have also been taken to redesign financial regulation and supervision with crisis prevention in mind. The design of crisis resolution policies is now becoming a main task. While any premature withdrawal of policy stimulus should be avoided exit strategies should be ready for implementation embedded in a broader policy framework that also includes growth-enhancing structural reforms.

Economic Democracy: The Political Struggle of the 21st CenturyThe Political Struggle of the 21st Century This title was first published in 1999: The author contends that economic democracy is the economic system the U.S. purports to have but has thus far failed to achieve because it like all the economic powers that have gone before seeks to control the economies of weaker nations. It is the shocking lack of economic democracy and the efforts of so many to achieve it that fuels today's conflicts and will fuel those of the 21st century.To show how and why this comprehensive work provides a detailed analysis of the history of numerous aspects of the development of the Neo-Mercantilist world economy; the geopolitical systems put in place by the developed world to manage and perpetuate that economy; and the numerous proposals and modeling plans that have been offered over the years for the achievement of economic democracy.

A collection of articles by renowned economists scientists and environmentalists this book shows that while the state of the environment is intricately linked to economic development the matter is in fact far more complex. One of the best-known connections is the Environmental Kuznet’s Curve hypothesis the limitations of which both empirically and theoretically are dealt with in the early part of the book. This is followed by a discussion on the shortcomings of the Kyoto Protocol and the particular problem of green house gasses. The other issues covered are: the negative contribution of environmental pollution; trade liberalization and its impact on the environment of developing countries both in the short- and long term; alternative energy sources.

Economic Development Education and Transnational Corporations This book focuses on the questions of: why do some economically disadvantaged nations develop significantly faster than others and what roles do their educational systems play? In the early 1960s Mexico and South Korea were both equally underdeveloped agrarian societies. Since that time the development strategies pursued by each country resulted in dramatically different results. By the turn of the century South Korea possessed one of the finest educational systems in the world and was a world-class producer of high-tech products. Mexico on the other hand was still graduating less than half of its secondary school-age students and bogged down in assembling products owned by others. This book addresses the issues of what happened and why and frames the consequences for other developing nations facing similar challenges.Professor Hanson argues that the key to understanding involves the manner and intensity in which these countries engaged their educational governmental and business institutions to acquire manufacturing knowledge from offshored transnational corporations and how they used these insights to grow their own local industries. Whereas South Korea studied the foreign outsourced plants as if they were educational systems and pursued with tenacity the new knowledge they possessed Mexico viewed them as ‘cash cows’ that generated wages and reduced unemployment. The author emphasizes that significant educational reform will only break down the barriers of institutional bureaucracies when responding to the pressures and demands of industrialization. This is one of the first books of its kind to compare South-East Asian and Latin American economies and their links to educational systems.  Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415668279

Economic Development and Governance in Small Town AmericaPaths to Growth Who governs? And why? How do they govern? These remain vital questions in the politics of our small cities and towns. In this new book author Daniel Bliss takes issue with those who believe that small towns and cities are fatally vulnerable to the pressures of a global economy. Based on in-depth analyses of small town America this book demonstrates how political agency can address and solve real problems affecting US towns including capital flight industrial closures and job losses. Bliss illustrates how small localities exercise choices – such as nurturing local businesses and developing infrastructure rather than engaging in a "race to the bottom " heavily mortgaging tax revenues to attract large box retailers and small box call centers while passively watching more productive firms and better-paying jobs slip away. Taking careful account of comparative literature as well as variations in city governments their planning agencies and their relations with state authorities this book explores the ways in which local politicians and public planning bodies can mobilize local constituencies to weather global challenges and common structural problems such as unfavorable demographics skill shortages and out-migration. Economic Development and Governance in Small Town America holds out the promise of meaningful democratic change even in unfavorable political and economic circumstances.

Economic Development and Inequality in ChinaThe Case of Guangdong The conventional belief that all regions have equally benefited from China’s remarkable development over the last three decades is subjected to criticism in this book as Hong Yu systematically analyses the issue of regional inequality during the post-1978 period using the case of Guangdong.

Based on field research analysis of geographic characteristics and regression models this book illustrates how Guangdong’s impressive development record has been marred by its rising regional disparity investigates the main causes of this disparity and draws conclusions regarding the lessons China can learn from it. Economic Development and Inequality in China will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese economics Chinese regional studies economic geography and China Studies. Hong Yu is a Visiting Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore. His research interests lie in the field of regional economy.

Economic Development and Political Action in the Arab World Analysis of North African revolt against authoritarianism known as the ‘Arab Spring’ embraced reductionist explanations such as the social media youth unemployment and citizens’ agitations to regain dignity in societies humiliated by oppressive regimes. This book illustrates that reductionist approaches can only elucidate some symptoms of a social problem while leaving unexplained the economic and political structures which contributed to it. One outcome of quiescence resource-based ethnic and sectarian conflicts and faulty development paradigm is deepened inequality and a wedge between winners and losers or affluence wealth and power vis-à-vis poverty and hunger among humiliated jobless and hope-less masses. The book blends theories of development and transition to explain the complex factors which contributed to North Africans’ revolt against authoritarianism and its long-term consequences for political development in the Arab World.

Economic Development and Social Change Some of the greatest thinkers in the history of economic thought have been instrumental in advancing the study of development economics. In this volume leading scholars are brought together to illuminate this tradition with particular emphasis on the question of growth and development. Divided into two parts this collection offers a blend of papers of history of economic thought and development economics and suggests that classical political economy - that strand of thought which goes from Physiocracy to Smith and to Ricardo and Marx - has a precise vision and indeed a precise model of long term development. This book: examines the influence that has been exerted by both pre-classical and classical thought on modern day development economics provides a synthetic analysis of the classical vision of growth and development from the mercantilist era to physiocracy examines Adam Smith’s contribution to growth theory explores Marxian thinking and ideas and the political developments that gave rise to state functions in post-war theory. Including contributions by well known authors such as Eltis Murphy and Kurz this significant volume by one of the premier historians of economic thought will be a valuable resource for postgraduates and professionals in the fields of economic history and political economy.

Economic Development in China's NorthwestEntrepreneurship and identity along China’s multi-ethnic borderlands Under the ethnic affairs management regime established by the People’s Republic of China every Chinese citizen is classified within one of 56 state-recognised ‘nationalities’. Government policy assumes that these nationalities differ from one another primarily in their levels of economic development and asserts that ethnic divisions and identities fade with the gradual achievement of economic and social equality. As a result economic development policy in minority nationality areas has often constituted a replica of the model which has already proven successful in China’s Han-Chinese dominated east. Research conducted across five locations in China’s Northwest paints a far more complex picture however. This book considers for the first time how identity informs the nature of economic participation among ethnic minority entrepreneurs in China’s remote Northwest. Through interviews with entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds including Tibetan Han and Muslim Chinese this book highlights how ethnic—and other—identities inform the nature of economic participation. Furthermore it explores the broader implications of this de-facto economic segregation for China’s ongoing social harmony and political stability. Ultimately this book demonstrates how economic participation even when successful in achieving its economic outcomes may actually serve to reinforce and strengthen minority national identity—perhaps even at the expense of national Chinese identity. This book will be useful for students and scholars of Chinese Studies Ethnic Studies and Economics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367177881

Economic Development in Ghana and MalaysiaA Comparative Analysis Economic Development in Ghana and Malaysia investigates why two countries that appeared to be at more or less the same stage of economic development at one point in time have diverged so substantially. At the time of their independence from the UK in 1957 both Ghana and Malaysia were at roughly the same stage of economic development; in fact Ghana’s real per capita income was slightly ahead of Malaysia’s. Since then Ghana’s development has been sluggish while Malaysia’s economy has taken off into sustained growth and today the real per capita income of Malaysia is about five times that of Ghana. This volume examines the pre-colonial and colonial economies of both countries and the economic policies pursued after independence. In doing so it aims to identify policies which might have contributed to Malaysia’s development and those which might have slowed Ghana’s. The authors ask whether lessons can be learned from the successes of countries such as Malaysia. This detailed comparative analysis will be useful to students and researchers of development economics as well as public policy makers in developing countries. It is written in language which makes it accessible to the general reader. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138486003

Economic Development in Rural AreasFunctional and Multifunctional Approaches Analysing the ongoing changes and dynamics in rural development from a functional perspective through a series of case studies from the global north and south this volume deepens our understanding of the importance of new functional and multifunctional approaches in policy practice and theory. In rural areas of industrialized societies food production as a basis for growth and employment has been declining for many decades. In the Global South on the other hand food production is still often the most important factor for socio-economic development. However rural areas both in the industrialized north and in the global south are facing new challenges which lead to significant changes and threats to their development. New forms of food production but also new functional (e.g. housing or business parks) and often multifunctional approaches are being discussed and practiced yet it remains unclear the extent to which these result in better or more sustainable development of rural areas.

Economic Development in Saudi Arabia The changing political situation in the Middle East poses challenges for the economies of the region and some see none more vulnerable to collapse than Saudi Arabia's. Yet as this study demonstrates the fundamentals of the Kingdom's economy are relatively robust as over three quarters of GDP is accounted for by the non-oil sector and impressive modern industries have been established notably in petrochemicals. The financial system functions well and despite substantial government debts there is low inflation and currency stability. The private sector increasingly drives the economy although job creation has been insufficient to prevent rising youth unemployment. The development challenges Saudi Arabia faces are similar to those of other middle-income countries and three decades of diversification have made the economy less unique than it was in the oil boom years of the 1970s.

Economic Development in the Long Run This book enlarges our understanding of economic development by bringing together items or aspects of historical experience relevant to the present-day problems of developing countries; by looking at the problems over a longer period than is usual in development economics so that the influence of underlying forces may be made evident; and by comparing the experiences of different countries in similar situations. A variety of countries are dealt with and most of the significant problems in development economics are covered in one context or another. The authors of this symposium each an internationally acknowledged authority offer expert assessments of development as it has actually taken place. The chapter by Professor Rosovsky shows what is significant what is peculiar and what could be imitated in Japan; Professor Black takes the little-studied case of Ireland and Dr Macpherson gives an informed and balanced account of Indian development.

Economic Development of India The development experience of India has been a matter of much interest in recent years. India is home to a sixth of the world’s population and about a third of the country is acknowledged to be living below the officially determined poverty line. After more than six decades of planned economic development the levels of achievement in education and health are poor. After three and a half decades of moderate growth following India’s Independence in 1947 a period characterised by centralized planning the pace picked up in the 1980s with some opening up of the economy. It gathered further momentum after the introduction of market oriented liberalization and significant economic reforms in 1991 and in the past decade the overall growth rate of the economy has been extremely impressive. It is however important to emphasize that it is not just high growth per se but growth along with equity or distributive justice that needs to be seriously addressed. This collection presents some of the historical material on development issues in the Indian context going back about a hundred years from Gandhi’s economic formulations to Nehru’s ideas substantially different on issues such as the agriculture versus industry debate and the relative roles of the public and private sectors. After India gained independence in 1947 the issue of economic development assumed centre stage in national policy making. Indeed one might even say that India was the laboratory where many of the significant new hypotheses or theories on economic development have been tested.

Economic Development Patterns Inflations and DistributionsWith Application to Korea (ROK) and Taiwan (ROC) The focal point of this study first published in 1991 is to investigate the effect of growth patterns on inflation and the distribution of income through inductive examination of the particular experiences in Korea and Taiwan. Both countries are regarded as models of successful industrialization but contrast significantly in the matter of their development strategy yielding a more equitable distribution of income along with a moderate inflation from the benefits of economic growth. Korea experienced considerable rates of inflation and a worsening of the distribution of income while Taiwan avoided both economic evils. This book analyses how Taiwan’s economy managed to reconcile growth with inflation and distribution and why Korea could not achieve similar performance.

Economic Dimensions in Education This book examines the economic issues of education from an unusually systematic and broad perspective. Although the book is soundly based in economic theory it is not heavily mathematical.Economic Dimensions in Education is designed to provide an introductory analysis of economic issues in education both in academic life and in the general community. Some of the issues discussed include the nature and reasons for public sector activity in education the role education plays in providing skilled human resources for an economy and the economic consequences of migration between countries of educated peoples. The book also deals with various aspects of demand: patterns of educational demand individual demand for education as a form of social investment for the community and supply aspects of education as related to types and sizes of educational establishments and problems of ensuring the efficient provision of education.There has been a growing interest in the economic aspects of education. The considerable growth in the volume of educational activity is now at the point where today education is one of the largest industries in most countries and also one of the chief employers of highly skilled personnel. The recognition that education may have a significant influence on the employment and income opportunities and hence affect the distribution of income and wealth in society is also a factor. A final reason stems from the post-war emphasis on economic growth and development with education playing an important role as a provider of skilled personnel for an economy.This classic volume is comprehensive clearly written and will appeal to undergraduates and first-year graduate students. The treatment is firmly embedded in economic theory and is must reading for those professional economists concerned with education. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138522572

Economic Diplomacy: Embargo Leverage and World Politics The 1983 collapse of world oil prices revived memories of a time only a decade earlier when the price of a barrel of oil did not exceed three dollars. By the late 1970s spot market prices had reached peaks of forty dollars a barrel. A major role in creating these new realities was played by the 1973/1974 Arab oil embargo which formed the psychological political and market conditions for the dramatic price surge. This important study probes the embargo in detail thoroughly examining its history the motivations that caused it and its ripple effect on world politics and the international economic order. The authors carefully examine the interruption of oil supplies to Western Europe during the 1956 Suez Canal crisis the growing momentum of Arab oil leverage beginning with the First Arab Petroleum Congress in 1959 the decline of the oil companies' domination of the petroleum industry and the Arab political environment between the 1967 Arab defeat and the 1973 Arab oil embargo. The book concludes with a chapter addressing the lessons to be learned from these recent embargoes. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367006020

Economic Dualism in ZimbabweFrom Colonial Rhodesia to Post-Independence This book identifies the root causes of income inequality in underdeveloped economies and proposes new solutions for structural reform in economies that have long neglected and exploited working people. It focuses on the case of Zimbabwe a classic example of an African post-colonial state continuing with dualistic economic structures while simultaneously laying the blame for the initiation of this form of underdevelopment with colonialism. The book explores the colonial roots of economic dualism in which traditional sectors run alongside newer forms of wage employment and suggests ways for Zimbabwe to move beyond the ingrained inequalities and asymmetries in production and organisation that it generates.Using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches Economic Dualism in Zimbabwe demonstrates how economic dualism can be eliminated through structural transformation of the traditional agricultural sector and reallocation of labour across sectors. The author comprehensively discusses the origins of dualism in Zimbabwe how it developed in land labour credit and financial markets who stands to gain and lose from it and ultimately what reforms are needed to eliminate dualism from the economic system. The book aims to complement efforts made by both North and South to transform this structurally embedded cause of underdevelopment and seeks to motivate change in the collective development agenda mindset.This book will be of interest to graduate-level students scholars researchers and policy practitioners in the fields of Development Studies Economics Agricultural Policy Labour Policy Economic Planning and African Studies.

Economic Evaluation of Cancer DrugsUsing Clinical Trial and Real-World Data Cancer is a major healthcare burden across the world and impacts not only the people diagnosed with various cancers but also their families carers and healthcare systems. With advances in the diagnosis and treatment more people are diagnosed early and receive treatments for a disease where few treatments options were previously available. As a result the survival of patients with cancer has steadily improved and in most cases patients who are not cured may receive multiple lines of treatment often with financial consequences for the patients insurers and healthcare systems. Although many books exist that address economic evaluation Economic Evaluation of Cancer Drugs using Clinical Trial and Real World Data is the first unified text that specifically addresses the economic evaluation of cancer drugs. The authors discuss how to perform cost-effectiveness analyses while emphasising the strategic importance of designing cost-effectiveness into cancer trials and building robust economic evaluation models that have a higher chance of reimbursement if truly cost-effective. They cover the use of real-world data using cancer registries and discuss how such data can support or complement clinical trials with limited follow up. Lessons learned from failed reimbursement attempts factors predictive of successful reimbursement and the different payer requirements across major countries including US Australia Canada UK Germany France and Italy are also discussed. The book includes many detailed practical examples case studies and thought-provoking exercises for use in classroom and seminar discussions. Iftekhar Khan is a medical statistician and health economist and a lead statistician at Oxford Unviersity’s Center for Statistics in Medicine. Professor Khan is also a Senior Research Fellow in Health Economics at University of Warwick and is a Senior Statistical Assessor within the Licensing Division of the UK Medicine and Health Regulation Agency.

Economic Foundations of Society This book examines the societies of the civilised world - old and new - and its two distinct and separate classes. Whilst one class accumulates in utter idleness enormous and ever increasing revenues the other far more numerous labours life-long for miserable wages. One class lives without working the other works without living or without a life worthwhile. When confronted by such a contrast the question must at once occur to every mind: is this sad state of affairs the result of inherent necessity inseparable from the organic conditions of human nature; or is it merely the outcome of certain historical tendencies that are destined to disappear at a later stage of social evolution? It concludes that the truth is to be found in the latter alternative: that capitalistic property with its caste division of humanity into capitalists and labourers is by no means the product of conditions inherent in human nature but simply the result of powerful historical causes which will eventually disappear. A variety of facts are presented in support of this argument. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780815375340

Economic Foundations of Strategic Management This book explores the extent to which economic theory is able to provide the theoretical foundations of strategic management. To this end it draws on the philosophy of science; microeconomic theory; and different approaches to strategic management. The work shows that many of the propositions of strategic management are deducible from the economic theories considered. It argues that these propositions should be made open to empirical testing and that a unified theory of strategic management should be developed. Thus the book addresses a current major concern of theorists - that strategy remains ’atheoretical’ and that this reduces the predictive power of the subject and hampers further theory development. The essential contribution made is that economic theory should be systematically explored in order to establish the foundations of business strategy. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315257068

Economic Freedom and ProsperityThe Origins and Maintenance of Liberalization Economic theory and a growing body of empirical research support the idea that economic freedom is an important ingredient to long-run economic prosperity. However the determinants of economic freedom are much less understood than the benefits that freedom provides. Economic Freedom and Prosperity addresses this major gap in our knowledge. If private property and economic freedom are essential for achieving and maintaining a high standard of living it is crucial to understand how improvements in these areas have been achieved and whether there are lessons that can be replicated in less free areas of the world today.In this edited collection contributors investigate this research question through multiple methodologies. Beginning with three chapters that theoretically explore ways in which economic freedom might be better achieved it then moves on to a series of empirical chapters that examine questions including the speed and permanence of reform the deep long-run determinants of economic freedom the relationship between voice and exit in impacting freedom the role of crises in generating change and immigration. Finally the book considers the evolution of freedom in China development economics and international trade and it concludes with a consideration of what is necessary to promote a humane liberalism consistent with economic freedom. Economic Freedom and Prosperity will be of great interest to all social scientists concerned with issues of institutional change. It will particularly appeal to those concerned with economic development and the determinants of an environment of economic freedom. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367584702

Economic Geography Economic geographers study and attempt to explain the spatial configuration of economic activities including the production of goods and services their transfer from one economic agent to another and their transformation into utility by consumers. The spatial configuration which includes both the pattern of activities on the map and the relationships between activities occurring in different places is the outcome of a vast number of distinct but interrelated decisions made by firms households governments and a variety of other private and public institutions. The goal of this book is to provide the student with a rigorous introduction to a diverse but logically consistent set of analytical models of the spatial decisions and interactions that drive the evolution of the economic landscape. The book begins by explaining fundamental concepts that are critical to all topics in economic geography: the friction of distance agglomeration spatial interaction market mechanisms natural resources and production technologies. The following sections cover major areas of inquiry including multiregional economies location theory markets for space and systems of cities. The final section synthesizes and builds on these topics to address two trends that provide particular challenges to economic geographers today: globalization and the emergence of the knowledge economy.

Economic Geography (Routledge Library Editions: Economic Geography) This book introduces the reader to the many lines of thought in the literature on economic geography and to tie these various aspects together within the concept of the economy. The book focusses on the dynamic and integrated nature of economies at different scales and levels of development. Emphasis is laid on the processes at work within economies. The authors discuss the concept of the economy helping both to clarify the nature of economic activity and to reveal the importance and sources of economic power as the underlying means of control in economies. They also demonstrate that the operation of an economy and the distribution of economic power are critical influences on many other apparently non-economic aspects of human existence.

Economic GeographyPast Present and Future The impact of economic geography both within and beyond the wider field of geography has been constrained in the past by its own limitations. Drawing together the work of several eminent geographers this superb collection assesses the current state of knowledge in the sub discipline and its future direction.  In doing so the contributors show how economic geographers have offered explanations that affect places and lives in the broader context of the global economy. Offering a discussion of theoretical constructs and methodologies with the purpose to show the need to combine different approaches in understanding spatial (inter) dependencies  contributors also demonstrate the need to engage with multiple audiences and within this context they proceed to examine how geographers have interfaced with businesses and policy. This excellent collection moves economic geography from a preoccupation with theory towards more rigorous empirical research with greater relevance for public policy.  With excellent breadth of coverage it provides an outstanding introduction to research topics and approaches.

Economic GeographyPlaces Networks and Flows The turbulence of the current times has dramatically transformed the world’s economic geographies. The scale and scope of such changes require urgent attention. With intellectual roots dating to the nineteenth century economic geography has traditionally sought to examine the spatial distributions of economic activity and the principles that account for them. More recently the field has turned its attention to a range of questions relating to: globalization and its impact on different peoples and places; economic inequalities at different geographic scales; the development of the knowledge-based economy; and the relationship between economy and environment. Now more than ever the changing fortunes of peoples and places demands our attention. Economic Geography provides a stimulating and innovative introduction to economic geography by establishing the substantive concerns of economic geographers the methods deployed to study them the key concepts and theories that animate the field and the major issues generating debate. This book is the first to address the diverse approaches to economic geography as well as the constantly shifting economic geographies on the ground. It encompasses traditional approaches albeit from a critical perspective while providing a thorough accessible and engaging examination of the concerns methods and approaches of the ‘new economic geography’. This unique introductory text covers the breadth of economic geography while engaging with a range of contemporary debates at the cutting-edge of the field. Written in an accessible and lucid style this book offers a thorough and systematic introductory survey. It is enhanced by pedagogical features throughout including case studies dealing with topics ranging from the head office locations of the Fortune 500 Mexico’s maquiladoras to China’s investments in Southern Africa.

Economic Growth Inequality and Crony CapitalismThe Case of Brazil Researchers in international development have long argued that the high costs of doing business harms prosperity in developing countries a claim that invites the question of why governments impose these costs and why societies fail to enact reforms reducing them. This book seeks to answer the question by looking at the case of Brazil a large and highly unequal economy riddled with state-imposed transaction costs. By delving into the political dynamics underlying a costly business environment this book provides the reader with novel insights into crony capitalism and inequality. It argues that the root cause of a costly business environment is the collusion between political actors bureaucrats and business insiders. Politicians and bureaucrats relish their discretion over rules and policies as a power resource since they can increase or decrease the costs of doing business faced by firms and sectors. Business insiders collude with government agents to access the loopholes that decrease the cost of doing business thus gaining a competitive edge over outsiders. This gives the insiders weaker preferences for reforms that could decrease the overall cost of doing business. By pursuing their self-interest these actors create a low-level equilibrium that perpetuates crony capitalism and inequality to the detriment of overall prosperity. The book makes its case with a sophisticated combination of formal modeling quantitative analyses and in-depth case studies of tax policy and of the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors in Brazil. Observers have declared the need for reforms that improve the business environment in developing countries for a long time. However the findings presented in this book suggest they might have underestimated the challenge ahead. Scholars and policy-makers in international development business politics and political economy will be interested in the innovative perspective of this book.

Economic Growth the Environment and International RelationsThe Growth Paradigm The ubiquity of the commitment to economic growth which Purdey refers to as the growth paradigm is extraordinary. National governments around the world are seized of the same objective. Major international institutions such as the UN the WTO the World Bank IMF and OECD powerful international organizations such as regional trading blocs and multinational corporations – even civil societies of all kinds enthusiastically pursue a larger economic pie. This book examines the deep origins and rise to prominence of the commitment to economic growth. It explains why despite the diversity of regime types levels of development cultures and other divisions typical of international relations all major actors in the modern global polity pursue an identical political priority. Purdey critically examines the growth paradigm highlighting its normative foundations and its environmental impact especially climate change. Using a neo-Gramscian approach Purdey re-engages the ‘limits to growth’ controversy identifying the commitment to growth as a form of utopianism that is as dangerous as it is seductive. By illuminating and interrogating the history politics and morality of the growth paradigm this book shifts the terrain of the limits debate from instrumental to ethical considerations. It will be of interest to students and scholars of political economy international relations environmental studies and ethics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415503501

Economic Growth (Routledge Revivals)England in the Later Middle Ages First published in 1962 this book challenges the notion that the later Middle Ages failed to sustain the economic growth of earlier centuries suggesting that historians have been preoccupied with absolute levels of output over more important questions of output per head. It also argues they have ignored the disastrous fall in living standards in the thirteenth century and the astonishing rise that occurred later. Using national taxation records and records of urban government as well as research from fields ranging from parliamentary history to statistics of foreign trade the author attempts to establish that the later Middle Ages has also been wrongly defamed in political affairs.

Economic Growth and Development in AfricaUnderstanding trends and prospects In recent years Africa has undergone the longest period of sustained economic growth in the continent’s history drawing the attention of the international media and academics alike. This book analyses the Africa Rising narrative from multidisciplinary perspectives offering a critical assessment of the explanations given for the poor economic growth and development performance in Africa prior to the millennium and the dramatic shift towards the new Africa. Bringing in perspectives from African intellectuals and scholars many of whom have previously been overlooked in this debate the book examines the construction of Africa’s economic growth and development portraits over the years. It looks at two institutions that play a vital role in African development providing a detailed explanation of how the World Bank and the IMF have interpreted and dealt with the African challenges and experiences. The insightful analysis reveals that if Africa is rising only 20-30 per cent of Africans are aboard the rising ship and the main challenge facing the continent today is to bring on board the majority of Africans who have been excluded from growth. This book makes the complex and sometimes confusing debates on Africa’s economic growth experience more accessible to a wide range of readers interested in the Africa story. It is essential reading for students and researchers in African Studies and will be of great interest to scholars in Development Studies Political Economy and Development Economics.

Economic Growth and Environmental RegulationThe People's Republic of China's Path to a Brighter Future This volume assembles a group of eminent scholars to look at the problem of growth and environment from the perspective of environmental regulation. The questions addressed are: How does economic growth interact with regulation and what are the best approaches to regulation in use today? The context for the volume is the current situation in China where twenty years of rapid growth have created a situation in which there are both demands for environmental regulation and needs for choosing a future development path. The advent of "A Macro-Environmental Strategy" for China presents an opportunity to ask how and why China should introduce regulation into its management of its development. The volume includes contributions from leading Chinese experts and established environmental economists from other countries including Timo Goeschl Ben Groom and Andreas Kontoleon. The volume looks at both the demand side of environmental regulation and the supply side. The demand side of regulatory intervention examines how regulation operates to supplement existing resource-allocation mechanisms via effective demand aggregation and implementation mechanisms. The supply side of regulation examines how regulation operates to guide industrial growth down particular pathways in the pursuit of managed development. Both sides of environmental regulation involve the important issue of implementation and enforcement.

Economic Growth and Fiscal Planning in New York In an era of federal deficits and struggling municipalities states have emerged as the most significant governmental actors. But state governments face the major challenge of fiscal planning in the midst of economic change. Roy Bahl and William Duncombe tackle this challenge head-on. Using New York as a case study they identify looming dangers for state revenue and expenditure planning.Bahl and Duncombe begin with the premise that one cannot separate an evaluation of fiscal performance from an evaluation of economic performance. Accordingly they describe and analyze the patterns of population employment and personal income growth. Following this is a study of state and local government finances in New York since 1970 and a recounting of the fiscal adjustments that were taken in the face of slower and then faster growth in the economy.The authors conclude that based on current conditions the state and its local governments are in for fiscal belt-tightening. They note that the state should take a comprehensive view in planning the development and retrenchment of its government sector. The book is thought-provoking exhaustively researched and sensibly written. Its lessons are applicable everywhere and should be read by all those seeking a route through the tangled thicket of government policy for economic growth.

Economic Growth and Income Inequality in China India and SingaporeTrends and Policy Implications The world at large is watching both China and India as powerhouses of economic growth. The two nations have achieved significantly high rates of economic growth ever since their respective economies liberalized in 1978 and 1991. Singapore despite its limited land size and almost total dependence on external trade has performed remarkably well and has moved ‘from the third world to the first’. This book documents and explains the rapid economic growth of the three key Asian economies. The book also looks at what has happened to income inequality in the context of superior growth performance. It makes comparative assessments and examines the implications for the three nations. Since free markets have nothing in them to produce a reduction in income inequality among persons/households one must at best hope for equality of opportunity – notably reflected in identical schooling for all; identical health care for all; and minimal rather than vulgar inequality in housing. This book is particularly useful for both China and India which may wish to study and learn from Singapore in regard to the policies programmes and projects aimed at ensuring equality of opportunity. The book is backed by considerable expertise on the part of the researchers with demonstrated expertise through their publications spawning a few decades. It is invaluable to those who are concerned with designing policies for developing countries aimed at rapid and inclusive economic growth. This book has been made possible by the intellectual and financial support extended by the Global Asia Institute National University of Singapore. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415744843

Economic Growth and Sustainable Housingan uneasy relationship Economic Growth and Sustainable Housing: An Uneasy Relationship critically discusses the possibilities of decoupling environmental degradation from economic growth. The author refutes the belief in combining perpetual economic growth with long-term environmental sustainability based on the premise that economic growth can be fully decoupled from negative environmental impacts. This proposition is underpinned by intensive study in the housing sector from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Xue employs critical realism to inform the investigation and organize the argumentation throughout the book. The book is organised into four parts: the first discusses the relevance of critical realism to the research field of housing and urban sustainable development in terms of ontology and methodology. The second makes a transcendental refutation of the possibilities of decoupling economic growth from housing-related environmental impacts by describing transfactual conditions of full decoupling. The third part presents two case studies to show whether and to what extents decoupling between economic growth and housing-related environmental impacts have historically taken place. Inspired by critical realist ontology generalization of abstract concept from the case studies are made to cast light on the implausibility of maintaining perpetual economic growth through decoupling. The final part explains why and how the belief in full decoupling and economic growth is generated and sustained despite its implausibility and non-necessity which constitutes an explanatory critique of the growth and decoupling ideology and paves the way for the paradigm shift to socially sustainable de-growth. This book will be of interest to students of housing and urban studies to students of environmental sustainability and also for those students and academics with a general interest in critical realism.

Economic Growth and the High Wage EconomyChoices Constraints and Opportunities in the Market Economy This book provides a theoretical framework to better understand how firms economies and labor markets have evolved. This is done in a reader-friendly fashion without complex mathematical arguments and proofs. Economic Growth and the High Wage Economy shows how high wage economies help make firms and economies more productive and why high wage economies can be competitive even in an increasingly globalized environment. It also demonstrates why concerns that labor supply will dry up as wages increase and social benefits rise are largely based on impoverished economic reasoning. The first chapters provide a theoretical basis for the rest of the book showing for instance how higher wages are prone to increasing the level of economic efficiency by getting people to work harder and smarter (mainly smarter). Altman also explains that our understanding of technological change can be markedly improved by modelling technological change as a product of higher wages and improved working conditions and other shocks to the economic system. As the book develops it is shown that increasing and high levels of income inequality are not necessary for growth and development because the economic ‘pie’ grows when the economic wellbeing of the lower half and even the middle improves. The evolution of the state can also be better understood by applying this analytical framework. So too can the persistence of inefficient systems of production and cultural traits that appear to be inconsistent with economic prosperity. On top of this the book examines the implications of Altman’s theoretical framework for macroeconomic analysis and policy. Finally it is shown that labor supply can be better understood by introducing target income into the analytical mix. The main contribution of this book is providing the theoretical underpinning for why relatively high wages and moreover competition with high wages is good for dynamic growth and development. This work establishes why an alternative model of labor supply based on the notion and reality of target income does a better job of explaining the evolution of labor supply. The latter also reinforces the view that increasing wage and workers’ benefits should not be expected to damage the economy even in the realm of labor supply. This book will be of interest to public policy experts trade unions human rights experts and scholars of behavioural economics labour economics and globalization.

Economic Growth in Britain and France 1780-1914 (Routledge Revivals)Two Paths to the Twentieth Century First published in 1978 Professor O’Brien’s Economic Growth in Britain and France 1780-1914 is an original and pioneering exercise in comparative and quantitative economic history. It finds a controversial place in the debate on the question of French retardation in the 19th century and as a brave and important contribution towards the understanding of economic growth in Western Europe. The author attempts to comprehend and evaluate the economic performance of France through explicit comparisons with Britain while considering British economic history from a French perspective. Challenging the orthodox view that France lagged behind Britain in economic terms the book argues that there were two paths of economic growth to the 20th century with France’s path seen as a more humane and no less efficient transition to industrial society.

Economic Growth in HistorySurvey and Analysis This book breaks fresh ground in the most challenging aspect of economics and economic history – the nature of economic growth. Professor Gould considers a wide range of theories about growth and its causes and examines these theories in the light of modern economic history. The first chapter sketches the historical experience of growth in its broad contours. There follow discussions of the contribution made by agriculture savings and investment foreign trade industrialization technological change and a number of ‘residual’ elements. A final chapter offers a critical survey of several leading theories of economic development judged in the light of actual historical experience. Throughout the author has chosen to test theories rather than to deploy data of historical change and then induce theory from it. Often the result is somewhat discouraging either because historical reality proves to be too complex to be adequately explained by even a sophisticated ‘theory’ or because practical difficulties make it impossible to subject the theory in question to a satisfactory test. Yet economists no less than economic historians will value the exercise for removing so many confusions from the study of development economics. Professor Gould’s highly readable style and avoidance of unnecessary jargon ensure that his book will be readily accessible to all those interested in problems of global poverty and economic development.

Economic Growth in Japan and the USSR In terms of output the USSR and Japan account for one-fifth of the world's economy occupying second and third places behind the United States. Japan has the world's fastest growth of per capita income and the USSR has not lagged far behind. But a century ago they were static feudal societies. This study analyzes the policies which enabled them to transform their economies adn to catch up with the developed world. The strategies of the two nations adopted have been very different: Japan has maintained small farms and factories developed a labor-intensive technology and has successfully penetrated the world export markets. The USSR on the other hand has created giant farms and factories adn remained fairly isolated from world trade. Since 1945 teh USSR has devoted one-eighth of her resources to military purposes Japan practically nothing. In Economic Growth in Japan and the USSR Angus Maddison offers a comparative analysis of the growth experience of these two countries that greatly enlarges our knowledge of the development process. A better understanding of their past experience can be particularly illuminating and relevant for economic policy in developing countries today. This classic text was first published in 1969.

Economic Growth in the WestComparative Experience in Europe and North America Hailed a "an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of the way in which western economies work" [Times Literary Supplement] this penetrating study of economic growth compares and analyzes tic rates of economic advance in the twelve leading countries that comprise the industrial West. Mr. Maddison examines why after relative stagnation for several decades the rate of economic development accelerated in continental Europe in the 1950’s whether this represented a new economic pattern which could be maintained or was only a passing phase of recovery after World War II. He observes that the economies of North America and the United Kingdom seemed by comparison almost to stand still and he explores the influence of economic policy on the differing growth rates and the growth potentials and desirable lines of policy in the industrial West. He then discusses the major powers’ policy problems whose outcome so closely affects the developing nations. Mr. Maddison presents basic statistical series going back to 1870 in most cases on gross national products productivity population labor force employment working hours investment and capital-output ratios. He draws upon this rich fund of comparative statistics with skill and insight relating it throughout to the broad questions of economic policy which are at issue.

Economic Growth TheoryCapital Knowledge and Economic Stuctures This book develops a new theoretical framework to examine the issues of economic growth and development. Providing analysis of economic dynamics in a competitive economy under government intervention in infrastructure and income distribution the book develops a unique analytical framework under the influence of traditional neoclassical growth theory. However in a departure from neoclassical growth theory it examines both the Solow-Swan and the Ramsey growth models introducing a utility function which treats consumer choices in ways critically different to previous approaches. Using practical examples and models the book demonstrates how this new direction can effectively analyze the key issues of economic growth in a compact and comprehensive manner.

Economic History of a Divided EuropeFour Diverse Regions in an Integrating Continent This book presents the sharp regional diff erences within the integrating European continent. Four regions – Northwestern Europe Southern Europe Central Europe and Eastern-Southeastern Europe – represent high medium and relatively less-developed levels of economic advancement. These disparities have emerged as a result of historical diff erences that produced and reinforced cultural and behavioral diff erences. The author examines the distinctions between the regions looks at how these differences transpired and became so retrenched and answers the question of why some countries were able to elevate to higher levels of economic development while others could not. This book is unique in that it provides a timely historical analysis of the main causes of the most pressing conflicts in Europe today. Readers will come away from this book with a deeper understanding of the sharp divergence in economic standing between the four different regions of Europe as well as knowledge about how institutional corruption and other cultural features exacerbated these variations. The book also offers a better understanding of major European Union confl icts between member countries and between member and nonmember countries as well as the rise of autocratic regimes in certain countries. The book begins with a short history of European integration throughout European civilization and then goes on to discuss the modern reality of integration and attempts to homogenize the Continent that divided into four different macro-regions. It will primarily appeal to scholars researchers and students studying Europe from various fi elds including economics business history political science and sociology as well as a general readership interested in Europe’s past present and future.

Economic Incentives for Marine and Coastal ConservationProspects Challenges and Policy Implications Marine and coastal resources provide millions of people with their livelihoods such as fishing and tourism  and a range of critical additional â€˜ecosystem services’ from biodiversity and culture to carbon storage and flood protection. Yet across the world these resources are fast-diminishing under the weight of pollution land clearance coastal development overfishing natural disasters and climate change.  This book shows how economic instruments can be used to incentivize the conservation of marine and coastal resources. It is shown that traditional approaches to halt the decline focus on regulating against destructive practices but to little effect. A more successful strategy could be to establish schemes such as payments for ecosystem services (PES) or incorporate an element of financial incentives into existing regulatory mechanisms. Examples both terrestrial and marine  from across the world suggest that PES can work to protect both livelihoods and environments.  But to succeed it is shown that these schemes must be underpinned by robust research clear property rights sound governance structures equitable benefit sharing and sustainable finance. Case studies are included from south and east Asia Latin America Africa and Australia. The book explores the prospects and challenges and draws lessons from PES and PES-like programmes from across the globe. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415855983

Economic Incentives for Stormwater Control Dealing with stormwater runoff in urban areas is a problem that is getting bigger and more expensive. As we cover porous surfaces with impervious structures—commercial buildings parking lots roads and houses—finding places for rainwater and snowmelt to soak in becomes harder. Many landscapers architects planners and others have proposed that the use of "green" localized management practices such as rain gardens and bio-swales may function as well as traditional "gray" pipes and basins at reducing the effects of stormwater runoff and do so in a way that is more attractive in the landscape—and possibly also less expensive. To make stormwater management practices work however communities need to know the real costs and policy makers need to give people incentives to adopt the best practices. Economic Incentives for Stormwater Control addresses the true costs and benefits of stormwater management practices (SMPs) and examines the incentives that can be used to encourage their adoption. Highlighting the economic aspects this practical book offers case studies of the application of various stormwater runoff control policies. It also presents the theory behind the different mechanisms used and illustrates successes and potential obstacles to implementation. The book covers: Efficient use of "green" SMPs Low-impact development (LID) style new constructionGreen infrastructureProperty prices and incentive mechanisms to encourage homeowners to retain stormwater on their propertyLegal economic and hydrological issues associated with various incentive mechanismsIn-lieu fees and cap-and-trade incentivesPrimarily concerned with the sociodemographic and economic aspects of people’s participation in stormwater runoff control this accessi Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367865764

Economic IndeterminacyA personal encounter with the economists' peculiar nemesis This volume is a collection of some of the best and most influential work of Yanis Varoufakis. The chapters all address the issue of economic indeterminacy and the place of a socialized Homo Economicus within the economy. The book addresses Varoufakis’ key interpretation regarding the way in which neoclassical economics deals with the twin problems of complexity and indeterminacy. He argues that all neoclassical modelling revolves around three meta-axioms: Methodological individualism Methodological instrumentalism and the Methodological Imposition of Equilibrium. Each chapter in preceded by an introduction which explains its place within the overarching theme of the book. The volume also includes a lengthy introduction plus a concluding chapter focusing on the future of economics. It will be a key work for all students and researchers in the field of political economy and economic methodology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138923034

Economic Indicators for ProfessionalsPutting the Statistics into Perspective We are bombarded with economic numbers: unemployment retail sales inflation GDP—the list goes on and on. Some analyst or another is constantly telling us about an obscure statistic that is the key to our future or is apparently the indicator that the "Fed" will be using to key off its decisions. With economic numbers playing such a central role in the national and world dialogue on policy and markets and spilling over into the political arena a broad review of what they are all about is timely. This book reviews the critical US economic data and how one may put the numbers into an intellectual structure that will depict evolving economic reality. The work is aimed at those who want and need to get some understanding about how the data contributes to a big picture of the economy and guides policy. The objective is for the reader to grasp the overall logic of the data—how each piece of the puzzle contributes to our understanding of the overall economy. This is the way the Fed looks at the numbers. There are other books that go through the economic numbers but they do so in a "bottom-up" fashion describing a series in some detail and adding something about how financial markets may respond to it. This book naturally has considerable discussion of series but views them as part of the overall mosaic not items of fundamental interest in themselves.

Economic Institutions and Environmental Policy This title was first published in 2001. The essays in this volume examine the questions of evaluation processes and enforcement with regards to environmental externalities stressing the role of institutional failures in dealing with the environment. The essays are divided into three sections: 1 - the complexity of evaluation processes; 2 - the complexity of institutional arrangements; and 3 - evaluation processes and political choice. Overall the essays argue that the effectiveness of environmental policy depends on the role played by economic institutions in affording and implementing policy objectives. The studies investigates the role played by institutions in affecting and implementing environmental policy. Institutions in the wider sense are typically shaped by a complex set of economic and political interests culture and values which require detailed interdisciplinary analysis.

Economic Integration and Development in Africa The debates over what African economic integration and development actually entails continue across international economic organizations national governments and NGOs. Despite the glare of media attention and the position this issue has on international political agendas few comprehensive accounts exist that fully examine why this process will be inevitable in the 21st century and how integration of national economies can be attuned to attaining the socio-economic goals and aspirations of member-countries. This book addresses this problem. It combines theory with application enumerating the imperatives and initiatives governments will be forced to confront; providing insights for educators and students in African development for policy makers in African governments and for inter-governmental organizations.

Economic Integration in East AsiaProduction networks and small and medium enterprises International production networks in manufacturing particularly in machinery industries have rapidly developed over the last two decades resulting in dramatic increases in intra-regional and intra-industry trade providing a key source of regional growth integration and development in East Asia. This book provides a better understanding on how to effectively further increase SME participation in East Asian production networks and in doing so identifies key challenges and issues that they need to address. This book aims to not only fill the theory-practice gap but also to lay solid foundations for designing national arrangements and a regional institutional frameworks to further encourage and support SME engagement and participation in regional and global production networks. The book contains several country case studies and by drawing upon individual country experiences at various stages of economic development this book demonstrates the varying difficulty faced by SMEs in ASEAN member countries attempting to participate in regional production networks and highlighting differences in needs and policy priorities. This book offers both a more focused theme on the assessment of globalization and a rather unique approach by focusing upon the particular importance of SMEs and by utilizing micro-level data at the firm or plant level. Its policy insights and the richness and uniqueness of the empirical findings will make the book an invaluable contribution to understanding East Asian production networks.

Economic Investigations in Twentieth-Century Detective FictionExpenditure Labor Value In his study of Golden Age and hard-boiled detective fiction from 1890 to 1950 Yan Zi-Ling argues that these two subgenres can be distinguished not only by theme and style but by the way they structure knowledge value and productive labour. Using the detective as a reference point and enactor of socially based interests Yan shows that Golden Age texts are distinguished by their conservationism (and not only by their conservatism) with the detectives’ actions serving to stabilize institutions with specific ideological aims. In contrast the criminal investigations of the hard-boiled detective who is poorly aligned with institutions and strong interest groups reveal the fragility of the status quo in the face of escalating cycles of violence. Key to Yan’s discussion are theories of exchange value and the gift the latter of which he suggests is more akin to detective work than is wage labour. Analyzing texts by a wide range of authors that includes Arthur Conan Doyle Agatha Christie Dashiell Hammett Raymond Chandler Dorothy Sayers Raoul Whitfield George Harmon Coxe and Mickey Spillane Yan demonstrates that the detective’s truth-generating function most often characterized as a process of discovery rather than creation is in fact crucial to the institutional and class-based interests that he or she serves.

Economic Justice Labor and Community Practice Facing economic upheaval and growing inequality people in local communities are fighting for economic justice. Coalitions from labor grassroots community organizations the faith community immigrant communities and other progressive forces are emerging across the U.S. and Canada and winning better jobs benefits from local development and better working conditions. A multi-disciplinary group of scholars and activists provide background and analysis of these struggles and offer insights into successful community practice. From the vantage points of community organizing labor studies political science urban studies social policy and active practitioners this volume presents both background on the problem of economic and social inequality and portrays cases of how community practice is being redefined how unions are pursuing their goals via labor-community coalitions and the issues confronted as these new and vital alliances form.

Economic Justice and DemocracyFrom Competition to Cooperation In Economic Justice and Democracy Robin Hahnel argues that progressives need to go back to the drawing board and rethink how they conceive of economic justice and economic democracy. He presents a coherent set of economic institutions and procedures that can deliver economic justice and democracy through a "participatory economy." But this is a long-run goal; he also explores how to promote the economics of equitable cooperation in the here and now by emphasizing ways to broaden the base of existing economic reform movements while deepening their commitment to more far reaching change.

Economic Justice and DemocracyFrom Competition to Cooperation In Economic Justice and Democracy Robin Hahnel puts aside most economic theories from the left and the right (from central planning to unbridled corporate enterprise) as undemocratic and instead outlines a plan for restructuring the relationship between markets and governments according to effects rather than contributions. This idea is simple provocative and turns most arguments on their heads: those most affected by a decision get to make it. It's uncomplicated unquestionably American in its freedom-reinforcement and essentially what anti-globalization protestors are asking for. Companies would be more accountable to their consumers polluters to nearby homeowners would-be factory closers to factory town inhabitants. Sometimes what's good for General Motors is bad for America which is why we have regulations in the first place. Though participatory economics as Robert Heilbronner termed has been discussed more outside America than in it Hahnel has followed discussions elsewhere and also presents many of the arguments for and against this system and ways to put it in place.

Economic Justice and LibertyThe Social Philosophy in John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism This new book reopens the debate on theories of justice between utilitarian theorists and scholars from other camps. John Rawls’ 1971 publication of A Theory of Justice put forward a devastating challenge to the long-established dominance of utilitarianism within political and moral philosophy and until now no satisfactory and comprehensive utilitarian reply has yet been put forward. By expounding John Stuart Mill’s system of knowledge and by reconstructing his utilitarianism Huei-chun Su offers a fresh and comprehensive analysis of Mill’s moral philosophy and sheds new light on the reconciliation of Mill’s idea of justice with both his utilitarianism and his theory of liberty. More than a study of Mill this book uses a systematic framework to draw a comparison between Mill’s theory of justice and those of John Rawls Amartya Sen and Friedrich von Hayek. It hence establishes common ground between different schools of thought in the fields of economics and philosophy and enables more effective dialogue. This book will be indispensable both to those interested in Mill’s moral philosophy and to those seeking a solid theoretical basis for analyzing the idea of justice as well as to anyone with an interest with the history of economics economic philosophy and the history of economic thought more generally.

Economic Lessons from the Transition: The Basic Theory Re-examinedThe Basic Theory Re-examined Economic Lessons from the Transition focuses on major transitions in the 1990s: the transition from central planning and communism to market capitalism and the global integration of national financial systems. The transitions were supposed to raise most peoples' standard of living; instead they dramatically worsened the lives of most people in the countries involved. While most attempts to explain this failure focus on policies the authors of this book argue that failure of economic theory to fully understand these transitions has led to bad policies that made the transitions unnecessarily painful and costly. The book suggests answers to the following questions: How should basic economic theory as taught in introductory economics courses be revised in light of the failure of market-oriented economics to effect a successful transition in so many former communist economies? Could the theory be revised and presented in a different manner? How can basic economic theory be used to help explain the past failures in understanding transition problems and to avoid future mistakes? This volume is a "must read" for all who teach economics or apply economics to the real world. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315290058

Economic Liberalisation in Latin America This book explores the process of economic liberalisation in Latin America and revises the transition from the import substitution industrialisation model to market-oriented reforms. It explains the theoretical foundations of the neoliberal paradigm and the implications of the policies that were labelled as the Washington Consensus. The book also incorporates an assessment on the socio-political norms added to the orthodox prescription the so-called Post-Washington Consensus. The study comprises a general analysis on the subcontinent and on different economic liberalisation paths and looks at four country case studies: Mexico Brazil Chile and Uruguay from the 1980s to recent years. From this approach the reader can analyse weaknesses and strengths the socioeconomic performance and the difficulties that Latin America has presented through the turbulent process of economic liberalisation both at an early stage and over the long run by means of country case studies encompassing the most diverse and representative styles of economic openness in the subcontinent. This allows them to identify the challenges the country faces and the appropriate policies they can follow to cope with sustained economic growth poverty reduction and income distribution within an economically open environment. The study is carried out by analysing and contrasting theoretical and empirical perspectives allowing a broader understanding of the topics. The book is complementary reading for textbooks due to the objectivity with which it addresses important and quotidian issues in the region associating empirical and theoretical topics and facilitating the understanding of the international political economy of Latin America. It is also suitable for practitioners and researchers because of the depth in which it covers specific topics and the useful analysis it conducts to incorporate policy implications and suggestions for achieving equitable growth in a context of liberal markets.

Economic Liberties and Human Rights The status of economic liberties remains a serious lacuna in the theory and practice of human rights. Should a minimally just society protect the freedoms to sell save profit and invest? Is being prohibited to run a business a human rights violation? While these liberties enjoy virtually no support from the existing philosophical theories of human rights and little protection by the international human rights law they are of tremendous importance in the lives of individuals and particularly the poor. Like most individual liberties economic liberties increase our ability to lead our own life. When we enjoy them we can choose the occupational paths that best fit us and in so doing define who they are in relation to others. Furthermore in the absence of good jobs economic liberties allow us to create an alternative path to subsistence. This is critical for the millions of working poor in developing countries who earn their livelihoods by engaging in independent economic activities. Insecure economic liberties leave them vulnerable to harassment bribery and other forms of abuse from middlemen and public officials. This book opens a debate about the moral and legal status of economic liberties as human rights. It brings together political and legal theorists working in the domain of human rights and global justice as well as people engaged in the practice of human rights to engage in both foundational and applied issues concerning these questions.

Economic Liberties and the Constitution In this seminal work Bernard Siegan traces the history of onstitutional protection for economic liberties in the United States. He argues that the law began to change with respect to economic liberties in the late 1930s. At that time the Supreme Court abdicated much of its authority to protect property rights and instead condoned the expansion of state power over private property.Siegan brings the argument originally advanced in the .first edition completely up to date. He explores the moral position behind capitalism and discusses why former communist countries flirting with decentralization and a free market (for instance China Cambodia Vietnam and Laos) have become more progressive and prosperous as a result. He contrasts the benefits of a free deregulated economy with the dangers of over-regulation and moves towards socialized welfare most specifically as happened during Franklin Roosevelt's presidency. Supporting his thesis with historical court cases Siegan discusses the past and present status of economic liberties under the Constitution clarifies constitutional interpretation and due process and suggests ways of safeguarding economic liberties.About the original edition Doug Bandow of Reason noted "Siegan has written a vitally important book that is sure to ignite an impassioned legal and philosophical debate. The reason the necessity for protecting economic liberty is no less than that guaranteeing political and civil liberty." Joseph Sobran of the National Review wrote "Siegan...makes a powerful general case for economic liberty on both historical and more strictly empirical grounds.... Siegan has done a brilliant piece of work not only where it was badly needed but where the need had hardly been recognized until he addressed it." And Edwin Meese remarked that "This timely and important book shows how far we have drifted from protecting basic liberties that the Framers of the Constitution sought to secure. I recommend it highly." This new completely revised edition of Economic Liberties and the Constitution will be essential reading for students of economics history public policy law and political science.

Economic Life in the Modern Age Werner Sombart (1863-1941) may well have been the most famous and controversial social scientist in Germany during the early twentieth century. Highly influential his work and reputation have been indelibly tainted by his embrace of National Socialism in the last decade of his life. Although Sombart left an enormous opus spanning disciplinary boundaries intellectual reaction to his work inside and outside of Germany is divided and ambivalent. Sombart consistently responded to the social and political developments that have shaped the twentieth century. Economic Life in the Modern Age provides a representative sampling of those portions of Sombart's work that have stood the test of time.The volume opens with a substantial introduction reviewing Sombart's life and career the evolution of his major intellectual concerns his relation to Marx and Weber and his political affiliation with the Nazis. The editors' selection of texts emphasizes areas of Sombart's economic and cultural thought that remain relevant particularly to those intellectual trends that seek a more broadly based cross-disciplinary approach to culture and economics. Sombart's writings on capitalism are represented by essays on the nature and origin of the market system and the diversity of motives among the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Also included is an excerpt from Sombart's controversial The Jews and Modern Capitalism exploring the widely perceived relation between economic life and Judaism as a religion. In essays on the economics of cultural processes Sombart's comprehensive and expansive idea of cultural science yields prophetic insights into the nature of urbanism luxury consumption fashion and the cultural secularization of love. The volume's final section consists of Sombart's reflections on the social influences of technology the economic life of the future and on socialism including the influential essay "Why is there no Socialism in the United States."Encapsulating the most valuable aspects of his work Economic Life in the Modern Age provides clear demonstration of Sombart's sense for fine cultural distinctions and broad cultural developments and the predictive power of his analyses. It will be of interest to sociologists economists political scientists and specialists in cultural studies.Nico Stehr is professor at the Max Planck-Instit³t f³r Meteorologie in Hamburg.

Economic Literacy and Money IllusionAn Experimental Perspective The concept of money illusion a recently resurrected phenomenon of behavioral economics is a real fact of economic life the potential role of which should no longer be dismissed. Despite money illusion being utterly suppressed by mainstream economists small deviations from rationality together with trends in behavioral economics alleviate the denial of money illusion induced by the rational expectations revolution. This book argues that money illusion seems to be a ubiquitous phenomenon affecting various areas such as financial markets housing markets labor markets consumption-saving decisions and even development at the aggregate level induced by coordination issues. Furthermore in light of the educational efforts of central banks and other institutions it is worth considering whether solid economic training would provide guidance for the public regarding their decision-making and thereby alleviate the effects of money illusion. The emerging field of experimental economics provides a unique opportunity for us to verify the presence of money illusion. Specifically attention is devoted to the experimental investigation of reduction in the direct and indirect effects of money illusion with respect to the level of economic literacy acquired through economic education.Economic Literacy and Money Illusion will be of interest to the general audience and to those who are interested in behavioral economics economics education and experimental economics as well as to policy makers and institutions. Last but not least it will help develop students’ interest in alternative economic theories.NB. The research and writing of this book was made possible with the support of the University of Economics Prague Faculty of Economics Department of Economics.

Economic Management of Marine Living ResourcesA Practical Introduction This textbook has two main objectives. Firstly it outlines the problems associated with the management and conservation of marine living resources with particular attention given to the twin concepts of economic value and sustainability. It demonstrates the contribution that economics can make to understanding these problems as well as helping to frame policies to mitigate them. Secondly it looks in detail at the key methods that may be used to collect and analyse socio-economic data oriented towards the information needs of decision makers and stakeholders involved in fisheries management. Together these two objectives address the question: how does society make the best use of its marine living resources? Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781849775502

Economic Methodology and Freedom to Choose (Routledge Revivals) First published in 1987 Professor O'Sullivan's work provides an in depth philosophical examination of the foundations of method in Economics and other human sciences. The argument is unabashedly dialectical in the great Socratic-Platonic tradition and the reissue will be very welcome to all students of methodology in particular those students of economic methodology seeking a refreshing alternative to yet more mathematical game playing. In an age dominated and perhaps to an extent perplexed by an ultimately non-committal postmodernism the book provides a root and branch critique of the epistemological relativism which must lie at the root of the whole post-modernist approach; and in reasserting the fundamental importance not only for the methods of science but also for European civilisation of the pursuit of truth it takes a stance which is very much against the tide of the times. A heterodox perspective is also provided and defended in detail regarding the real nature of economic methodology whereby it is shown that Economics epitomises a teleological mode of explanation which is significantly different from the efficient causal modes of explanation of the natural sciences. In fact Economics is the ultimate subjectivist/interpretative discipline in the methodological sense of Max Weber and Alfred Schutz a fact which has only been recognised (and welcomed) in the Austrian school of Economics.

Economic MethodologyA Historical Introduction Ever since the inception of economics over two hundred years ago the tools at the discipline’s disposal have grown more and more more sophisticated. This book provides a historical introduction to the methodology of economics through the eyes of economists. The story begins with John Stuart Mill's seminal essay from 1836 on the definition and method of political economy which is then followed by an examination of how the actual practices of economists changed over time to such an extent that they not only altered their methods of enquiry but also their self-perception as economists. Beginning as intellectuals and journalists operating to a large extent in the public sphere they then transformed into experts who developed their tools of research increasingly behind the scenes. No longer did they try to influence policy agendas through public discourse; rather they targeted policymakers directly and with instruments that showed them as independent and objective policy advisors the tools of the trade changing all the while. In order to shed light on this evolution of economic methodology this book takes carefully selected snapshots from the discipline’s history. It tracks the process of development through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries analysing the growth of empirical and mathematical modelling. It also looks at the emergence of the experiment in economics in addition to the similarities and differences between modelling and experimentation. This book will be relevant reading for students and academics in the fields of economic methodology history of economics and history and philosophy of the social sciences.

Economic Models and Applications of Solid Waste Management Originally published in 1991. The dilemma of solid and hazardous waste disposal in an environmentally safe manner has become a global problem. This book presents a modern approach to economic and operations research modelling in urban and regional waste management with an international perspective. Location and space economics are discussed along with transportation technology health hazards capacity levels political realities and the linkage with general global economic systems. The algorithms and models developed are then applied to two major cities in the world by way of case study example of the use of these systems. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780815350392

Economic Models for Policy MakingPrinciples and Designs Revisited Over the past decades many different kinds of models have been developed that have been of use to policy makers but until now the different approaches have not been brought together with a view to enhancing the systematic unification and evaluation of these models. This new volume aims to fill this gap by bringing together four decades’ worth of work by S. I. Cohen on economic modelling for policy making. Work on older models has been rewritten and brought fully up to date and these older models have therefore been brought back to the fore both to assess how they influenced more recent models and to see how they could be used today. The focus of the book is on models for development policies in developing economies but there are some chapters that relate to economic policies in transition and developed economies. The policy areas covered are of typical interest in developing and transition economies. They include those relating to trade liberalization reforms sustainable development industrial development agrarian reform growth and distribution human resource development and education public goods and income transfers. Each chapter contains a brief assessment of the empirical literature on the economic effects of the policy measures discussed in the chapter. The book presents a platform of economic modelling that can serve as a refresher for practising professionals as well as a reference companion for graduates engaging in economic modelling and policy preparations.

Economic Myths and the Mythology of Economics (Routledge Revivals) First published in 1986 Economic Myths and the Mythology of Economics is a polemical study in which the author focuses on the popular myths and misconceptions that colour our understanding of economic issues. Professor Mishan the internationally recognised economist and expert in the field of resource allocation and cost benefit analysis undermines the idea that economics is a science. But such are popular myths he argues that governments employ battalions of economists in their ongoing attempts to promote economic growth efficiency and employment. The author challenges the validity and measurement of such concepts as economic efficiency and GNP and questions the assumption that free competitive markets can operate effectively in a rapidly changing high-technology society. Professor Mishan foresees in his study further expansion as an unavoidable consequence of continued innovation while revealing the interconnecting processes by which innovative activity designed to raise living standards has begun to erode the moral and psychological foundations of a viable and libertarian society.

Economic Neoliberalism and International Development This book provides a robust theoretical and empirical exploration of the interrelationship between economic neoliberalism and international development. Putting the experiences of developing and transitional economies centre stage the book investigates how their economic policies compare with the nature of economic liberalism during and after the significant economic reforms which took place from the mid-1980s. Beginning with two chapters which provide an introduction to the concept of economic neoliberalism the second section focuses on its application to ‘practice’ and the book moves on to country/regional case studies taken from Sub-Saharan Africa South Asia Latin America China and Eastern Europe. The book closes with some concluding remarks summarising some of the principal findings. Bringing together a wealth of expertise this book clarifies controversial economic and political issues which have been significantly misunderstood in public discourse and as such it will be of interest to a range of researchers interested in the economic social and political dynamics of developing and transitional countries.

Economic NewsInforming The Inattentive Audience This book tells the story of how the news media can help the inattentive members of the public become better educated and knowledgeable ‘economic citizens’. The authors argue that changes in the economy journalism and consumer culture have made economic news more visible more mainstream and more accessible. They show how economic news not only affects economic perceptions but also interest in the economy knowledge about the economy and economic voting. Relying on statistical analyses the book provides a comprehensive and systematic study of the effects of economic news. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367583668

Economic Patriotism in Open Economies The recent financial crisis has demonstrated that governments continuously seek to steer their economies rather than leaving them to free markets. Despite the ambitions of international economic cooperation such interventionism is decidedly local. Some politicians even proudly evoke "economic patriotism" to justify their choices. This volume links such populism to a specific set of tensions – the paradox of neo-liberal democracy – and argues that the phenomenon is ubiquitous. The mandate of politicians is to defend the economic interests of their constituents under conditions where large parts of economic governance are no longer exclusively within their control. Economic patriotism is one possible reaction to this tension. As old-style industrial policy and interventionism gained a bad reputation governments had to become creative to assure traditional economic policy objectives with new means. However economic patriotism is more than just a fashionable word or a fig leaf for protectionism. This volume employs the term to signal two distinctions: the diversity of policy content and the multiplicity of territorial units it can refer to. Comparing economic interventionism across countries and sectors it becomes clear that economic liberalism will always be accompanied by counter-movements that appeal to territorial images. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138946521

Economic Performance in the Middle East and North AfricaInstitutions Corruption and Reform The economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are in dire need of substantial institutional reform to improve their growth performance so as to create enough jobs for millions of entrants into their respective job markets and to fight poverty and income inequality. This is necessary not only to reduce the risk of social unrest and domestic/regional conflicts but also to assure stability of energy supply to the rest of the world and to hamper the violence originating from the region. So the region's convergence to global standards of governance quality is desirable for increased prosperity and stability both in the region and outside. This volume contributes to the recently burgeoning political economy literature on institutions by putting together well-written chapters that empirically study the relationship between economic performance and institutional characteristics in MENA economies to point out some of the areas where institutional reform is particularly needed and possible tools to use for such reform. Perhaps one common lesson that can be derived from all chapters in the volume is that the both the region itself and the global economy will benefit from a MENA region that is better integrated to the rest.

Economic Phenomena Before and After WarA Statistical Theory of Modern Wars Economic Phenomena before and after War is the result of the author's search for a scientific explanation of modern wars by means of economic statistical data in the statistics of consumption production and natural growth of population. The theory discussed assumes that a state of war in modern communities is dependent on the general economic equilibrium which becomes more and more unstable as industrialization progresses. A state of war indicates a turning point in the action of balancing forces; it moves the economic forces in an opposite direction and is therefore a means for stabilizing the general economic equilibrium.

Economic Philosophy "Economics has always been partly a vehicle" for the ruling ideology of each period as well as partly a method of scientific investigation. It limps along with one foot in untested hypotheses and the other in untestable slogans. Here our task is to sort out as best we may this mixture of ideology and science."With these provocative words Joan Robinson introduces this lively and iconoclastic book. "In what follows " she says "this theme is illustrated by reference to one or two of the leading ideas of the economists from Adam Smith onwards not in a learned manner tracing the development of thought nor historically to show how ideas arose out of the problems of each age but rather an attempt to puzzle out the mysterious way that metaphysical propositions without any logical content can yet be a powerful influence on thought and action."Robinson is responsible for some of the most austerely professional contributions to economic theory but here in effect she takes the reader behind the scenes and cheerfully exposes the dogmatic content of economic orthodoxy. In its place she offers the possibility that with obsolete metaphysics cleared out of the way economics can make a substantial advance toward science. .

Economic Planning and Policies in Britain France and Germany Examining the innovations of economic policy in the UK France and Germany in the 1960s this book originally published in 1968 assesses the degree of success of these policies and draws conclusion for the oreintation of future policy. The book contrasts the long history of national planning in France with the equally long history of anti-p[lanning ideology in Germany and by close examination of the actual policies brings out the relaities that lie behind the public attitudes. It discusses the problems which lead to planning interventions followed by a chapter on the UK France and Germany. It examines in details particular adaptations of policy: namely quantitative programming monetary policy fiscal policy public expenditures regional policy prices and incomes policy and the balance of payments comparing developments in all 3 countries. It also looks at the beginning of economic planning at the level of the EEC with particular implications for British entry. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415785990

Economic Planning and Social Justice in Developing Countries First published in 1978 this book was written at a time when belief was high in Western-guided economic development of the emerging countries. The success of Marshall Plan in war-torn Europe generated a US-led optimism that with generous inflows of aid and technical assistance the Third World could be won over in the Cold War. The author’s direct experience as a young academic economist in Cyprus Malaysia Uganda and Liberia led him to question this general optimism: the reality on the ground in the developing world did not seem to match Western optimism. Theories and blueprints made in the West did not fit the requirements of developing countries. Higher production and better income distribution were inseparable twin objectives of developing nations. That meant production of a higher national output must at the same time promote social justice. Investment must create adequate jobs so that new entrants into rapidly expanding labor force could be gainfully employed. Yet the dominant (Western) theories of development at the time in particular the Trickle Down Theory of Growth prescribed "Growth First Distribution Later" strategy. Similarly Import Substitution Industrialization theories were emphasized at the expense of export-led growth. Dualistic Growth theories preached urban-biased anti-rural development. This book was written as a rebuttal of such faulty theorizing and misguided professional technical assistance and the book’s message is no less valid today than in the 1970’s.

Economic Pluralism The leading edges of economic thinking in the early 21st century are marked by a nascent pluralism - a positive valuing of difference and complexity - regarding the nature and evolution of human behaviour and economic organization. Economic Pluralism brings these pluralist sensibilities to the fore. Its twenty original essays explore the value and difficulties of pluralism in economic theory philosophy institutions and education. These twenty original essays reflect the maturity and breadth of pluralist scholarship in economics today. The first eight chapters (including essays by Tony Lawson Diana Strassmann Frederic Lee and David Colander) stake out contentious positions on how and why pluralism matters in economic inquiry. The remaining chapters explore the meaning and consequences of pluralism in economic education institutions and policies. This volume provides a unique "second generation" discussion of pluralism in economics. Its twenty original essays include contentious disagreements about where and why pluralism matters in economic inquiry as well as creative explorations of pluralism and its consequences in economic systems and in graduate and undergraduate economic education. It is certain to spur further debate over the scope and value of economic pluralism for the 21st century. This volume would be of most interest as a supplementary text for graduate or undergraduate courses that include units on heterodox economics or economic philosophy.

Economic Policies of the New Thinking in Economics The financial crisis and the ‘great recession’ have generated the need for new thinking in economics and for new economic policies to secure sustainable and equitable economic development. The new thinking in economics is an interdisciplinary approach to economic problems that acknowledges and respects insights and analyses from other disciplines and recognizes complexity and evolutionary theory as relevant for understanding economic systems and economic behaviour. New Economics is concerned with institutional behaviour expectations and uncertainty as opposed to traditional economics with its emphasis on equilibrium mathematical formalism and deterministic solutions. With the financial crisis brought on by the unrestrained pursuit of personal and corporate profit sanctioned by traditional economics this is an opportune moment to establish a new way of approaching economic understanding based on new economic theory. It is also a good time to instigate new ideas on the approach to economic policy across a wide range of areas such as macroeconomic and global governance employment and unemployment social security and pensions. This book is devoted to developing economic policies from the new thinking. It was originally published as a special issue of the International Review of Applied Economics.

Economic Policy Crisis and InnovationBeyond Austerity in Europe This book is a Festschrift to Annamaria Simonazzi and embraces the themes that she has contributed to over the years through her insightful and inspiring works. It brings together contributions from a number of distinguished European economists which pay tribute to her by engaging in a dialogue with her research simultaneously reflecting on the process of growing economic disintegration in the European Union its causes and its possible remedies. The book shows the deep interrelations between macroeconomic issues and the social sphere and points to the need to rethink the very foundations of European economic policies as an effective antidote to growing imbalances and disintegration. In particular the effects of austerity are assessed alongside the dimensions of inequality gender discrimination poverty and unemployment broadening the perspective also beyond the Eurozone. The authors envision a progressive society in which investments in research and intelligent industrial policies govern the processes of technological change and drive the economy towards a more efficient and more equal model of development characterized by high productivity and high wages. While some chapters deal directly with policy issues policy suggestions and proposals are scattered throughout the whole book. This volume will appeal to academics economists and policy-makers interested in understanding the policy response of European institutions to the challenges posed by both the Great Recession and subsequent developments in the European economies. The book is written in an engaging and accessible way and the themes are broad enough to generate interest from the international public. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367260293

Economic Policy and the Financial Crisis The consequences of the global economic crisis which started in the United States in 2007-08 are still being felt in most of the advanced economies and the mainstream tools of recovery are not having the required results. It seems that many of the after-effects of the crisis including the instability of the financial markets increasing public debts and limited economic growth require new solutions from both economic policy and theory. Lower aggregate demand during the crisis increased the pressure on firms to be more competitive and at the same time the crisis in the banking system has had a negative impact on the willingness of financial institutions to give credit to companies for investment. Therefore the key issue for current economic policy is to find a balance between the stabilisation of public finance and maintaining the momentum of long-term growth. This book offers an evolutionary-developmental analysis combining elements of neo-Schumpeterian economics institutional economics and post-Keynesian economics to show that selection processes within an economy and the institutional rules shaping those processes are substantially more important than usually recognised by evolutionary economic theory. Two major challenges for economic theory and policy in particular have emerged during the crisis. The first is the rise of unemployment coupled with growing public deficits. The second is the financial instability which threatens the permanence of economic development. This book examines the performance of the advanced economies since the crisis and explores why some of them have been more successful in tackling these challenges than others. It is argued that the reasons for the varied performances of these economies lie in the economic policies which were introduced before and in the aftermath of the crisis and the differences in the regulation of their labour markets. This volume will be of interest to students and academics in the areas of macroeconomics public economics and public management. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415787222

Economic Policy Coordination in the Euro Area The European debt crisis has given new impetus to the debate on economic policy coordination. In economic literature the need for coordination has long been denied based on the view that fiscal wage and monetary policy actors should work independently. However the high and persistent degree of macroeconomic disparity within the EU and the absence of an optimum currency area has led to new calls for examining policy coordination. This book adopts an institutional perspective exploring the incentives for policymakers that result from coordination mechanisms in the fields of fiscal monetary and wage policy. Based on the concept of externalities the work examines cross-border spillovers (e.g. induced by fiscal policy) and cross-policy spillovers (e.g. between fiscal and monetary policies) illuminating how they have empirically changed over time and how they have been addressed by policymakers. Steinbach introduces a useful classification scheme that distinguishes between vertical and horizontal coordination as well as between cross-border and cross-policy coordination. The author discusses farther-reaching forms of fiscal coordination (e.g. debt limits insolvency proceedings Eurobonds) with special attention to how principals of state organization affect their viability. Federal states and Bundesstaaten differ in the incentives they offer for debt accumulation – and thus in their suitability for fiscal coordination. Steinbach finds that the originally strict separation between policy areas has undergone significant change during the debt crisis. Indeed recent efforts to coordinate policy are no longer limited to one policy area but now extend to several areas. Steinbach argues that further fiscal policy coordination can be effectively deployed to address policy externalities but that the coordination mechanisms used must match the form of state organization in the first place. Regarding wage policies there are significant barriers to coordination. Notwithstanding some empirical successes in the implementation of a productivity-oriented wage policy the high heterogeneity of national wage-setting institutions is likely to prevent any wage coordination.

Germany faced up to the challenge of trying to help local industry and improve employment prospects. Based on the results of case-studies the book considers the powers and resources available to local authorities and examines how the authorities are organized for this type of economic activity. The authors' analysis of the interplay of political and administrative factors will be particularly important for student and professionals in comparative public policy and public finance. The study shows how economic policy making in local government is constrained both by the higher levels of government in both countries and by the conditions in the economy operating both locally and nationally.

Economic Psychology and Experimental Economics The last ten years have seen an enormous surge of interest in issues that are common to psychology and economics. How do people make decisions about economic issues? How should they make such decisions? Does public policy or regulation succeed in its aim of helping people make these decisions? What situations aid cooperation? This volume explores some of the ways in which economists and psychologists have tried to answer these questions. The authors are an international mix of economists and psychologists and as such they demonstrate a diverse range of approaches to tackling different aspects of these issues. This is a frontier area for both psychology and economics and consequently it is relatively free lawless and above all exciting. This collection reflects the diversity and energy that characterise this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field. This book was originally published as a special issue of New Zealand Economic Papers.

Economic Reform and Employment Relations in Vietnam The transformation of the Vietnamese economy from socialist planning to a market economy has led to Vietnam having one of the fastest economic growth rates in the world; and to also to Vietnam engaging much more with the international economy joining the World Trade Organisation in 2006. This book fills a significant gap by surveying the economic reforms in Vietnam where most studies have concentrated on other ‘young tiger’ economies. In particular it discusses the transformation of employment relations which have been a key part of the reforms and a necessary pre-condition to WTO membership. It examines the nature of employment reforms analyses the motivation behind new policy initiatives and examines the detail of reforms in a range of business enterprises reporting on extensive original research. Throughout it shows how several key forces have interacted – globalisation government political interests national cultural norms market managerial ideology and the special characteristics of particular firms – to produce a particular Vietnamese brand of post-communist market economy. Overall this book illuminates the how employment relation practices are formed in transitional economies and more broadly the economic and political transformation of socialist economies in the context of the global market.

Economic Reform and Social Change in China Economic growth in China has transformed both politics and society. Old orthodoxies are painfully being eroded in the drive for reform while new social and cultural tensions are coming to light. It has been argued that the cycles of reform and retreat since 1978 which culminated in the Tiananmen Square tragedy were induced by the tensions of the reform process. It is clear that the way in which China handles these issues in the future will have major implications for the next phase of the country's development.The authors of this book analyse how reform has affected major groups in society such as urban workers rural and urban cadres the army intellectuals and private entrepreneurs. They examine the interaction between old attitudes and new needs in such areas as education policing and social control rural administration and the status of women. What emerges is a broad insight into China's reform process which looks both at the enormous changes that have come about and at the problems to follow.

Economic Reform in Modern China It is more than three decades since China initiated its economic reform and open-door policies. During that period China has successfully transformed itself from an inefficient centrally-planned economy to a fast-growing market-orientated economy. To the rest of the world China has emerged from the condition of a poor and completely isolated nation to become the most powerful engine of global economic growth.

Economic Reform Processes in South AsiaToward Policy Efficiency While South Asia’s economic reform initiatives of the last two decades were often born in crisis this alone does not account for their occurrence. This book looks at the processes and institutional arrangements behind these reforms and analyses what lessons can be learnt about how South Asia can improve its policy efficiency. The book develops ideas about how to overcome the political restraints to reform by drawing on recent theories of political economy and policy learning. It tests these ideas against authoritative case studies of actual reform initiatives in South Asia which illustrate processes and institutional arrangements that have helped South Asian governments to sustain reform efforts even in the absence of a strong political base. This offers valuable lessons for the global economy as it moves into a phase of rebalancing with the structural adjustments that this will require. The book goes on to identify weaknesses that could be addressed by South Asian national governments and regional forums. It is an important contribution to studies on South Asian Politics and International Political Economy Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138948402

Economic Reforms Growth and Inequality in Latin AmericaEssays in Honor of Albert Berry Originally published in 2004. Growth income distribution and labour markets are issues of pivotal importance in the Latin American context. Examining unique theoretical issues and the empirical evidence this book provides a critical analysis of the key elements of income distribution determinants labour market functions trade policies and their interrelations. As the advance of globalization becomes seemingly unstoppable this book provides an important reappraisal of the impact of this new phenomenon and in particular the pernicious impact it may have on income growth and distribution. The key objective of the volume is to integrate more fully the analysis of trade and labour market economists in order to better understand the labour market and income distribution implications of globalization and international integration. Forty years after the early calls to appropriately investigate the micro foundations of macroeconomics the separation of the two at the policy level is more damaging than ever before - particularly for developing regions; this volume therefore makes an important contribution at the theoretical and policy levels by bringing together macroeconomic and microeconomic analyses.

Economic Reforms and Fertility BehaviourA Study of a Northern Chinese Village Based on an intensive fieldwork in a southern Hebei village in northern China (1992/3) the author takes an institutional approach and focuses on the way deliberate Chinese state policies driven by new economic and social agendas since the late 1970s have impacted on marriage family relations and consequently on the way fertility trends have been adversely affected; the study is also very much concerned with the human dimension and the way in which such social and economic changes are perceived and applied in a rural community. The research presented in this study goes a long way to unravelling the puzzle concerning the reasons for a very rapid decline in Chinese fertility rates contrasting sharply with a very different fertility transition within western cultures.

Economic SociologyAn Introduction Economic Sociology provides the clearest and most comprehensive account of the promises of economic sociology. It shows how economies are more than supply-and-demand curves individual profit motives and efficient performance: they are forms of power and structure grounded in institutions and culture. What is calculated how and why? Are profit and efficiency always so central to economic structures and outcomes? What shapes change and reproduction in economic practices and policies? How have classes and states using power and institutions created and continue to shape the economic world we live in? This second edition presents a critical and sophisticated yet approachable analysis of economic behavior and phenomena. After describing key concepts and logics of economic sociology and of economic sociology (its eternal cousin and competitor) Hass turns the sociologist’s analytic eye to the heart of economic practices comparing how they work in the United States Europe East Asia Latin America and post-socialist Russia and China. The volume addresses crucially important economic issues that touch our well-being and justice: the rise and structuring of capitalism; relations between states and economies; economic policies; economies and inequality; and organizations and corporations. Causes and consequences of globalization and the Great Recession are laid out for the reader. With economics and economic sociology placed side-by-side in this journey of how economies operate in the past and present the reader gets different perspectives on economic reality. Power and culture institutions and fields classes and corporations interact on this historical and global stage. Written in a clear and direct style this textbook will appeal to students and scholars in economic sociology sociology of work economics social policy political economy and comparative sociology Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138217652

Economic Spaces of Pastoral Production and Commodity SystemsMarkets and Livelihoods Pastoralism as a land use system is under recognized in terms of its contribution to food provision livelihoods as well as to human security. This book is the first attempt to explore the dynamics of economic spaces of pastoral production and commodity systems for explicit South and North positionings. It develops and applies a new approach in combining agri-food market and commodity chain perspectives with livelihood approaches. This enables new understandings of re-aligning exchange relations between the global south and the global north. The case studies presented open up new empirical insights in largely under-researched areas such as Afghanistan Chad Tibet and Siberia and very recent changes in industrialized economies with major pastoral sectors. The book reveals new evidence and theoretical insights about significant changes in established producer-consumer relations in agriculture and food.

Economic Statecraft and Foreign PolicySanctions Incentives and Target State Calculations This book develops a unified theory of economic statecraft to clarify when and how sanctions and incentives can be used effectively to secure meaningful policy concessions. High-profile applications of economic statecraft have yielded varying degrees of success. The mixed record of economic incentives and economic sanctions in many cases raises important questions. Under what conditions can states modify the behaviour of other states by offering them tangible economic rewards or by threatening to disrupt existing economic relations? To what extent does the success of economic statecraft depend on the magnitude of economic penalties and rewards? In order to answer these questions this book develops two analytic models: one weighs the threats economic statecraft poses to the Target’s Strategic Interests (TSI); while the other (stateness) assesses the degree to which the target state is insulated from domestic political pressures that senders attempt to generate or exploit. Through a series of carefully crafted case studies including African apartheid and Japanese incentives to obtain the return of the Northern Territories the authors demonstrate how their model can yield important policy insights in regards to contemporary economic sanctions and incentives cases such as Iran and North Korea. This book will be of much interest to students of statecraft sanctions diplomacy foreign policy and international security in general. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415836319

Economic Statecraft and US Foreign PolicyReducing the Demand for Violence Explaining the connection between economics and violent extremism this book argues that American foreign policy must be rebalanced with a greater emphasis on social inclusion and shared prosperity in order to mitigate the root causes of conflict. Rosenberger argues that economic coercion has usually proven counterproductive and that a militarized American foreign policy too often results in frustration and strategic failure. He analyses this theory through a number of case studies from the Treaty of Versailles to the more recent issues of Israel in Gaza US sanctions against Iran the US backed Saudi-led boycott of Qatar and Donald Trump’s trade war against China. He concludes that the economic logic of social inclusion and shared prosperity demonstrated in Jean Monnet’s European Coal and Steel Community would be a more successful strategy in reducing the demand for violence in the civil wars in Afghanistan Iraq Yemen and Syria. This book will be of particular relevance for courses on American Foreign Policy International Relations and International Political Economy and seminars on the Near East and South Asia. Professional economists diplomats and military officers in America and in the Near East and South Asia will also find the argument useful. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367134204

Economic Statecraft during the Cold WarEuropean Responses to the US Trade Embargo Discussing a rarely researched aspect of the Cold War this volume uses new material to examine how the United States trade embargo on the Soviet Union and communist China severed relationships with Europe particularly focusing on Great Britain. In the late 1940s the US government stopped nearly all exports to the entire Sino-Soviet bloc in the belief that it would hinder the expansion of Soviet and Chinese military potential. To continue receiving the US Marshall Aid European countries had to impose similar bans but were reluctant because their trade links with the USSR and its satellite countries had existed for centuries. The US thereafter negotiated with Europe about what to include or exclude from the list of authorised goods severely straining diplomatic relations. Economic Statecraft during the Cold War details these negotiations casting new light on the ambivalent US-UK relationship and providing insights into the changing emphasis between the Republican and Democrat administrations on the key question of trade embargo by explaining how the firm consistency in the application of the US policy over the succeeding decades of the Cold War was maintained. This book will be of much interest to all students and scholars of Cold War history intelligence studies and international history in general. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415647359

Economic Structure and MaturityCollected Papers in Input-output Modelling and Applications This title was first published in 2000:  A collection of Ranko Bon's papers on input-output analysis and its applications. The underlying feature of the papers is a focus on the supply-side input-output model which better predicts the behaviour of mature economic sectors such as agriculture and mining than the demand-sided model. The construction sector is especially relevant in the context of economic stability and maturity issues as it offers an index of economic maturity for entire economies. This is the main theme that evolves through the papers collected in the book. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138637269

Economic Studies (Routledge Revivals)Contributions to the Critique of Economic Theory First published in 1977 David Levine's Econom ic Studies offers a critique and reconstruction of the theoretical conception of economic life. The premise of the study is that only an investigation of the system of elementary economic relations - value capital production - can overcome the confusion and misdirection which baffles progress in all areas of economic theory and lay the foundation for further development of economic science. Levine discusses both the origins of economic science and the character of contemporary economic thought. He presents a critique of the ideas of classical political economy and of the notion of a 'labor theory of value' which excludes the possibility of a science of economic relations.

Economic Summits and Western Decision-Making Since 1975 the leaders of the major western economies have gathered in annual summit meetings to try to agree a unified response to the main political and economic problems facing them. This book first published in 1984 traces the development of the summit meetings and tries to assess their impact on western decision-making and international relations in general. The summits arose as the product of a serious crisis that shook the world economy in the early 1970s. They have been sustained because of the waning of the American hegemony that had supported the postwar international economic regime. From this it became vital for the leaders of the major economies to reassert collective leadership in order to try to re-establish a new world economic equilibrium.

Economic Theories of Exhaustible Resources Originally published in 1989. Professor Robinson begins by examining natural resource classification and the nature of return in mining giving particular emphasis to different sources of long-run price changes in mining and their relevance for user cost and the economic treatment for exhaustible resources. He then traces the development of the economic theory of exhaustible resources from the last quarter of the eighteenth century to the first quarter of the twentieth documenting the differing views of various authors about the future availability of mineral resources and the extent of user cost involved in their exploitation. He identifies a link between the perceived availability of exhaustible resources and the nature of the economic theory used to explain their exploitation. This book should be of interest to students and researchers of Economic Theory and Policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138083608

Economic Theory Others might have called this book Micro Theory or Price Theory. Becker's choice of Economic Theory as the title for his book reflects his deep belief that there is only one kind of economic theory not separate theories for micro problems macro problems non-market decisions and so on. Indeed as he notes the most promising development in recent years in the literature on large scale economic problems such as unemployment has been the increasing reliance on utility maximization a concept generally identified with microeconomics. Microeconomics is the subject matter of this volume but it is emphatically not confined to microeconomics in the literal sense of micro units like firms or households. Becker's main interest is in market behavior of aggregations of firms and households. Although important inferences are drawn about individual firms and households the author tries to understand aggregate responses to changes in basic economic parameters like tax rates tariff schedules technology or antitrust provisions. His discussion is related to the market sector in industrialized economies but the principles developed are applied to other sectors and different kinds of choices. Becker argues that economic analysis is essential to understand much of the behavior traditionally studied by sociologists anthropologists and other social scientists. The broad definition of economics in terms of scarce means and competing ends is taken seriously and should be a source of pride to economists since it provides insights into a wide variety of problems. Practically all statements proved mathematically are also provided geometrically or verbally in the body of the text. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138522619

Economic Theory and its History This collection brings together leading economists from around the world to explore key issues in economic analysis and the history of economic thought. This book deals with important themes in economics in terms of an approach that has its roots in the works of the classical economists from Adam Smith to David Ricardo. The chapters have been inspired by the work of Neri Salvadori who has made key contributions in various areas including the theory of production the theory of value and distribution the theory of economic growth as well as the theory of renewable and deplorable natural resources. The main themes in this book include production value and distribution; endogenous economic growth; renewable and exhaustible natural resources; capital and profits; oligopolistic competition; effective demand and capacity utilization; financial regulation; and themes in the history of economic analysis. Several of the contributions are closely related to the works of Neri Salvadori. This is demonstrated with respect to important contemporary topics including the sources of economic growth the role of exhaustible resources in economic development the reduction and disposal of waste the redistribution of income and wealth and the regulation of an inherently unstable financial sector. All contributions are brand new original and concise written by leading exponents in their field of expertise. Together this volume represents an invaluable contribution to economic analysis and the history of economic thought.

Economic Theory and Policy amidst Global Discontent This book rethinks economic theory and calls for a creative and pragmatic approach to policymaking. It examines what development and sustenance of economic progress mean and how these may be facilitated. The relevance of this issue has received fresh impetus from the significant changes in the degree and pattern of international economic relations that are unfolding across the world posing both opportunities and challenges. While globalisation of goods and financial markets may have delivered high growth for some nations the distribution of the benefits has often been highly unequal with gains to owners of capital and skills being disproportionately higher compared to that of labour especially the unskilled.Widening and persistent inequalities have been at the heart of rising polarisation and spread of conflicts that threaten the social fabric. This work emphasises the relevance of a broad policy framework based on building individual capabilities and in line with a human-centric perspective. At the same time it points out the crucial need to create policy space for macroeconomic stability and to accommodate heterodox influences especially when conventional wisdom proves inadequate as starkly demonstrated inter alia during the recent global financial crisis. This festschrift dedicated to Deepak Nayyar presents chapters on diverse themes that address the persisting global problems of poverty inequality and sustaining development. The book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of economics development studies public policy and governance and also to policymakers government officials and those in media.

On rejecting the axiomatic structure of the market theory Hasse Ekstedt and Angelo Fusari analyse the concept of growth and uncertainty with respect to a more realistic modelling of man The book also addresses central political problems and their potential solutions including permanent unemployment distribution of income the interaction of real and financial growth money and the credit system. In seeking objective values to help to obtain a socially sustainable society the book traces a tentative revision of economic and social thought based on a deepening of some crucial features of modern economies and societies. These features include innovation the connected flows of uncertainty entrepreneurship and their role in fuelling and characterizing economic growth and development.

Economic Thought in Communist and Post-Communist Europe It is now almost a decade since central and east Europe saw the demise of the Soviet-style economic planning which accompanied more ot less authoritarian political rule by communist parties. The economic thought based on Marxist philosophy which formed theoretical underpinning of centrally planned socialist economies was peculiar to the region and was radically different from mainstream western thought. Written by leading east European scholars this volume provides a comprehensive and authoritative resource: a wide-ranging overview of fifty years of economic thinking under communist rule in Europe and during the first phase of post-communist transformation. It also provides an analytical assessment of the impact of economic science on the reform and transition process. The book includes six country-specific studies for Russia Poland Hungary Czechoslovakia Eastern Germany and Yugoslavi. Each one surveys the relevant literature and its interaction with the development of the socialist and post-socialist economic system in the period 1945-1996. The studies show that despite Soviet dominance and the shared Marxist paradigm development of economic thought was not uniform a finding which supports the hypothesis formulated in the introductory chapter that differences in system critique and reform thinking can explain later differences in transformational performance.

Economic Transformation in Poland and UkraineNational and Regional Perspectives When Poland and Ukraine introduced their political social and economic system reforms at the beginning of the 1990s both economies were at a similar level of economic development (GDP $9 500 per capita). However in 2018 Ukrainian GDP per capita had remained at the same levels since 1991 while in Poland it had increased significantly to more than $27 000 per capita. This book assesses the reasons for the growing gap between the level of economic development in Ukraine and Poland. It examines the course of events and evaluates the effectiveness of the system transformations both in the context of the economy as a whole and in individual regions (Polish ‘voivodeships’ (provinces) and Ukrainian ‘oblasts’). It also analyzes the consequences of the 2008–2009 Ukrainian-Russian gas conflict and 2013–2014 Euromaidan events for the Ukrainian economy. Additionally the authors offer an insight into the migration movements which have recently been observed in Poland and Ukraine. This is the first comprehensive comparative analysis concerning the spatial diversification of economic development in these two countries and the authors highlight the ways in which these reforms have proved effective in Poland and hardly effective in Ukraine. This analysis helps to identify the basic interrelations between the core macroeconomic variables at the regional level and the impact of political events from both a national and regional perspective. The book will appeal to academics researchers and policy makers interested in the economic and political changes in these two countries in a comparative setting and on national and regional levels as well as those working on issues of EU integration.

Economic Transitions to Neoliberalism in Middle-Income CountriesPolicy Dilemmas Economic Crises Forms of Resistance Neoliberalism is based on the systematic use of state power to impose under the veil of ‘non-intervention’ a hegemonic project of recomposition of capitalist rule in most areas of social life. The tensions and displacements embedded within global neoliberalism are nowhere more evident than in the middle-income countries. At the domestic level the neoliberal transitions have transformed significantly the material basis of social reproduction in these countries. These transformations include but they are not limited to shifts in economic and social policy. They also encompass the structure of property the modality of insertion of the country into the international economy and the domestic forms of exploitation and social domination. The political counterpart of these processes is the limitation of the domestic political sphere through the insulation of ‘markets’ and investors from social accountability and the imposition of a stronger imperative of labour control allegedly in order to secure international competitiveness. These economic and political shifts have reduced the scope for universal welfare provision and led to regressive distributive shifts and higher unemployment and job insecurity in most countries. They have also created an income-concentrating dynamics of accumulation that has proven immune to Keynesian and reformist interventions. This book examines these challenges and dilemmas analytically and empirically in different national contexts. This edited collection offers a theoretical critique of neoliberalism and a review of the contrasting experiences of eight middle-income countries (Brazil China India Mexico South Africa South Korea Turkey and Venezuela). The studies included are interdisciplinary ranging across economics sociology anthropology international relations political science and related social sciences. The book focuses on a materialist understanding of the workings of neoliberalism as a modality of social and economic reproduction and its everyday practices of dispossession and exploitation. It will therefore be of particular interest to scholars in industrial policy neoliberalism and development strategy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415746229

Economic Valuation of BiodiversityAn Interdisciplinary Conceptual Perspective While biodiversity loss is an ecological phenomenon it also has further dimensions – political social and last but not least economic. From the economic perspective the rapid loss of biological diversity can be viewed in two ways. First the consequence of this deterioration process is a loss of options and an increase in scarcity of the environmental ‘good’ biodiversity. Second economic activity and the structure of global and local economic institutions have frequently been identified as the major drivers of biodiversity loss. In economic terms this constitutes a market failure – market-based economic activities lead to processes which undermine the long-term stability of these very activities. This book provides an ecological economic perspective on the value of diversity in ecosystems. Combining insights from various sub-disciplines of ecology and environmental/ecological economics the author constructs a conceptual framework which identifies the ways in which biodiversity influences human well-being and offers a novel unifying perspective on the economic value of biodiversity.　 This framework demonstrates that biodiversity’s economic value mainly results from uncertainty about the future regarding both supply of and demand for ecosystem services and interconnections between ecosystems. The book goes on to identify suitable methods for economic valuation of biodiversity and discusses the currently underdeveloped and underused approach of deliberative monetary valuation.　 Combining a strong theoretical framework with practical examples this book will be of great interest to students and researchers of ecological economics ecosystem services environmental values and environmental and resource economics.

Economic WomanGendering Inequality in the Age of Capital The author introduces the concept of economic woman and makes her visible in duality with and opposition to the exclusive model of economic man. Economic man has epitomized neo-liberal capitalism which embraces competition and maximization of profit resulting in a steep increase in economic inequality. The book demonstrates that women’s inequality is a crucial factor in economic inequality which cannot be fully understood without relating to women’s situation and that economic woman cannot thrive in the conditions of economic inequality created under global neo-liberalism.Emphasising the international human rights guarantees of women’s right to equality in all fields of life the author documents woman’s increased participation in political public financial and corporate institutions employment and entrepreneurship with some women reaching high profile positions. Nevertheless using global data she reveals that economic woman lags behind with a severe economic power deficit an unfulfilled promise of equal employment opportunity a gendered impact of poverty and barriers to gender equality in the family. The book analyses the trap of women’s increased burden of breadwinning in the context of discriminatory laws and practices infrastructural failures and policy gaps which preempt achievement of gender equality in economic life.The book is intended for the general reader academics students policy makers and NGOs. It shows economic woman at a global crossroads between a universal paradigm of gender equality and pervasive barriers to equal economic opportunity. The author demonstrates that tackling gender inequality restoring welfare priorities and reducing economic inequality are inextricably linked. Human rights and governments have a vital role to play in addressing them all to create a sustainable economic infrastructure for the lives of women and men.

Economic-Mathematical Methods and Models under Uncertainty In this book on mathematical programming the postulate spacial-time certainty of economic process at uncertainty conditions in finite-dimensional vector space and the principle piecewise-linear homogeneity of economic process at uncertainty conditions in finite-dimensional vector space are first suggested. A special theory on constructing piecewise-linear economic-mathematical models was developed and a criterion of multivariate prediction of economic process and their control at uncertainty conditions in a finite-dimensional vector space was suggested. A packet of numerical programs for computer simulation in constructing and multivariate prediction of economic state with the help of n-element piecewise-linear economic-mathematical models with regard to the uncertainty factors effect in m-dimensional vector space is also suggested.This book is intended for students of economic and administrative specialties as well as for research associates in the sphere of economic-mathematical methods management and banking.

Economics Capitalism and CorporationsContradictions of Corporate Law Economics and the Theory of the Firm This book is a continuation of Corporate Law and the Theory of the Firm: Reconstructing Corporations Shareholders Directors Owners and Investors. The author extends his analysis of contract law property law agency law trust law and corporate statutory law and applies that analysis to defy conventional concepts and theories in economics finance investment and accounting and expose the artificial boundaries established by decades of research founded on indefensible assumptions and fallacious conclusions. Using the Humpty Dumpty principle where words mean what the authors want them to mean economists have created "strange new worlds" where contract law property law agency law and corporate statutory law no longer apply. The author dismantles the theory of the firm by proving the theory of the firm wilfully and intentionally ignores fundamental contract law property law agency law and corporate statutory law. Contrary to the theory of the firm shareholders do not own corporations directors are not agents of shareholders and shareholders are not investors in corporations. The author proves that by property law and corporate law capital is not privately owned by capitalists but by corporations. Entire economic and social systems have been constructed that have no basis in law. With the advent of publicly traded corporations the capital is there but both capitalists and capitalism have been rendered extinct. This book will appeal to researchers and graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in economics finance accounting law and sociology as well as legal scholars attorneys and accountants.

Economics Culture and Development This book examines the treatment of culture and development in the discipline of economics thereby filling a conspicuous gap in current literature. Economics has come a long way to join the ‘cultural turn’ that has swept the humanities and social sciences in the last half century. This volume identifies some of the issues that major philosophies of economics must address to better grasp the cultural complexity of contemporary economies. This book is an extensive survey of the place of culture and development in four theoretical economic perspectives—Neoclassical Marxian Institutionalist and Feminist. Organized in nine chapters with three appendices and a compendium of over 50 interpretations of culture by economists this book covers vast grounds from classical political economy to contemporary economic thought. The literatures reviewed include original and new institutionalism cultural economics postmodern Marxism economic feminism and the current culture and development discourse on subjects such as economic growth in East Asia businesswomen entrepreneurs in West Africa and comparative development in different parts of Europe. Zein-Elabdin carries the project further by borrowing some of the insights from postcolonial theory to call for a more profound rethinking of the place of culture and of currently devalued cultures in economic theory.

Economics Economists and ExpectationsFrom Microfoundations to Macroapplications The concept of rational expectations has played a hugely important role in economics over the years. Dealing with the origins and development of modern approaches to expectations in micro and macroeconomics this book makes use of primary sources and previously unpublished material from such figures as Hicks Hawtrey and Hart. The accounts of the 'founding fathers' of the models themselves are also presented here for the first time. The authors trace the development of different approaches to expectations from the likes of Hayek Morgenstern and Coase right up to more modern theorists such as Friedman Patinkin Phelps and Lucas. The startling conclusion that there was no 'Rational Expectations Revolution' is articulated supported and defended with impressive clarity and authority. A necessity for economists across the world this book will deserve its place upon many an academic bookshelf. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415647328

Economics Entrepreneurship and UtopiaThe Economics of Jeremy Bentham and Robert Owen In the early 1800s Robert Owen was a mill owner political figure and an advocate for social reform and his publications attained considerable circulation. He believed that people need good working conditions in order to be encouraged to work and motivated to learn. Despite the higher costs associated with this kind of operation compared to the traditional ones Owen’s management resulted in increased productivity and profit. His results caught the attention of men of wealth who were interested in social reform. In particular  at a similar time Jeremy Bentham was developing his own theories. Owen and Bentham seemed to be based on some similar ideas that the greatest happiness creates the greatest results. Their ideas developed against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution and growing social and economic problems in England.Owen and Bentham were forerunners of highly relevant current theories of economics – marginalism entrepreneurship personnel management and constructivism. They were acquainted with such important authors as James Mill Malthus Ricardo and John Stuart Mill. However their economic theories were ruled out by classical economists who actively tried to silence perspectives different from the orthodoxy. This book presents an innovative study of these two social thinkers and reformers who have rarely if ever been studied together. This comparative study provides new context both on the social debate taking place during the Industrial Revolution and on the development of modern social thought in particular the relationship between socialism and utilitarianism.Economics Entrepreneurship and Utopia will be of great relevance to scholars with an interest in the history of economic ideas the history of entrepreneurship and social reform in both historical and contemporary contexts.

Economics Ethics and Ancient ThoughtTowards a virtuous public policy It is argued that the normative and ethical presuppositions of standard economics render the discipline incapable of addressing an important class of problems involving human choices. Economics adopts too thin an account both of human motivation and of "the good" for individuals and for society. It is recommended that economists and policy-makers look back to ancient philosophy for guidance on the good life and good society considered in terms of eudaimonism or human flourishing.Economics Ethics and Ancient Thought begins by outlining the limitations of the normative and ethical presuppositions that underpin standard economic theory before going on to suggest alternative normative and ethical traditions that can supplement or replace those associated with standard economic thinking. In particular this book considers the ethical thought of ancient thinkers particularly the ancient Greeks and their concept of eudaimonia arguing that within those traditions better alternatives can be found to the rational choice utilitarianism characteristic of modern economic theory and policy.This volume is of great interest to those who study economic theory and philosophy history of economic thought and philosophy of social science as well as public policy professionals.

Economics Ethics and PowerFrom Behavioural Rules to Global Structures Economic theory in its neoclassical form is sometimes regarded as free from values; it is simply the theory of economic exchange. This can only hold true if we accept the idea of "Homo Economicus" and the equilibrium economy. But in the real world away from neoclassical models there is no intrinsic stability as such. Instead stability is created by the surrounding social cultural and political structures. Clearly it is imperative that ethics features in the analysis of these economic and socio-political structures.Drawing on Aristotle Kant Hume and others this book conceptualizes the analysis of ethics and economic and social structures. It first considers the key philosophical underpinnings and categories which frame the discussion of ethics in economic theory and then considers individual ethics social action financial structures and war. Throughout ethics are examined in a multicultural context with structural complexities and the difficulties in finding a coherent set of ethics which provides social cohesion and an open society are considered. A key part of this is the comparison of two ethical principles which can be adopted by societies: ius soli or loyalty to constitution and ius sanguinis or loyalty to "Blood and Soil". The latter is argued to lead to problems of Us and the Other.Introducing the possibility of integrating microscopic ethics into socio-political structures and proposing the eventual existence of a global ethics this volume is a significant contribution to the emerging literature on economics social structures and ethics. It will be of particular interest to those working in business and public administration and who have an education in socio-economic areas but it also has a broad appeal to students and academics in the social sciences.

Economics Sustainability and DemocracyEconomics in the Era of Climate Change How should we conduct economics in an era of climate change natural resource depletion and population increase? These issues are systemic and involve great uncertainties and long time horizons. This book contends that the free-market economics that has dominated capitalist democracies in recent decades is not up to the task; that the welfarist economics that preceded it while preferable also has inadequacies; and that what is required is an economics founded on ecological principles greater respect for the laws of natural science and a moral commitment to a sustainable future. The book commences with an exposition of major aspects of orthodox macroeconomic and microeconomic theory. It then explores the bounds of orthodox theory in relation to ethics liberalism ideology society the international economy globalization and the environment and seeks lessons for a future economics. Issues raised by natural resource use and climate change are given particular prominence. Many of the issues of critical importance in coming decades involve not private goods but public goods: goods which markets are ill-equipped to deal with. In the resolution of these issues political processes will need to be engaged. The availability to each individual of clean air clean water and adequate sustenance goods which cannot be provided for by economic production alone are of central concern. While acknowledging the importance of market processes the author argues in favour of a more deliberative and democratic economy the greater engagement of civil society environmental human rights and responsibilities and in favour of a World Environment Organization change in the conduct of the World Trade Organization and for economists to accept moral responsibility for the policies they advocate. Specific case studies are given and potential policies outlined. This book will be of interest not only to economists but also to citizens generally and students concerned with public affairs.

Economics and Austerity in EuropeGendered impacts and sustainable alternatives The full impact of austerity policies across Europe is still being assessed but it is clear that their gendered impacts have been consistently severe structural and manifold. They have also been until now under-researched and under-estimated. This book brings together the research of leading feminist economists in the area of gender and austerity economics to perform a rigorous gender-impact analysis both at national and pan-European levels. The chapters not only offer thorough evidence for the detrimental gender-impact of austerity policies across Europe but they also provide readers with concrete suggestions of alternative policies that national governments and the European Union should adopt. With a combination of country case studies and cross-country empirical analysis this book reveals the scope and channels through which women and men have been impacted by austerity policies in Europe and goes on to offer readers the opportunity to assess the feasibility and implications of a feminist alternative to continued austerity. This book will be invaluable to social science students and researchers as well to as policy-makers searching not just for a Plan B to continued austerity policies but for a Plan F – a feminist economic strategy to stimulate sustainable economic recovery.

Economics and Australian Health Policy A century ago health services absorbed few resources and provided little benefit. Since then advances in medical knowledge and techniques have escalated both the benefits and the costs. The affordability of health services is being questioned in even the richest countries and the economic aspects of health policy have become ever more intrusive.Australia is no exception with its health system now absorbing 19% of all government tax revenue. Familiarity with economic issues - such as how to assess health outcomes how to assign resources efficiently and what financial arrangements will promote equity as well as efficiency - is essential to understanding health policy. This is especially so at a time when the economics of health care are being internationally re-examined with new forms of competition challenges to public ownership and case-mix funding of hospitals under scrutiny and a re-evaluation of the benefits of pharmaceuticals and new technologies underway.Economics and Australian Health Policy offers this understanding to readers with and without formal economic training. It starts with an introduction to both the economic way of thinking about health systems and the context in which those economic questions are raised - the structure of the Australian health system its culture and its patterns of financial flows. It then describes and appraises from an economic perspective the major components of the system and the policy issues which arise.This collection has been specially commissioned to address both Australia's most pressing policy issues and the needs of public health and health economic policy-makers academics commentators and students. The list of contributors reads like a who's who in Australian health economics who have been encouraged clearly successfully to write accessibly yet with authority and conviction.

Economics and Capitalism in the Ottoman Empire Is it possible to generate "capitalist spirit" in a society where cultural economic and political conditions did not unfold into an industrial revolution and consequently into an advanced industrial-capitalist formation? This is exactly what some prominent public intellectuals in the late Ottoman Empire tried to achieve as a developmental strategy; long before Max Weber defined the notion of capitalist spirit as the main motive behind the development of capitalism. This book demonstrates how and why Ottoman reformists adapted (English and French) economic theory to the Ottoman institutional setting and popularized it to cultivate bourgeois values in the public sphere as a developmental strategy. It also reveals the imminent results of these efforts by presenting examples of how bourgeois values permeated into all spheres of socio-cultural life from family life to literature in the late Ottoman Empire. The text examines how the interplay between Western European economic theories and the traditional Muslim economic cultural setting paved the way for a new synthesis of a Muslim-capitalist value system; shedding light on the emergence of capitalism—as a cultural and an economic system—and the social transformation it created in a non-Western and more specifically in the Muslim Middle Eastern institutional setting. This book will be of great interest to scholars of modern Middle Eastern history economic history and the history of economic thought. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367872441

Economics and Diversity The bulk of contemporary economics assumes rather than explains differences between people or groups of people. Yet many of these differences are produced by society or they imply differing opportunities and outcomes. This book argues that economists should concern themselves with the explanation of the social causes and effects of such differences. D’Ippoliti introduces the concept of diversity to summarise all differences that are of social origin and that a theory or model seeks to explain. This contrasts with the traditional concept of heterogeneity that instead refers to differences that are deemed to be exogenous of economic theory. In approaching this the book ranges from the fields of methodology and history of economics to applied empirical work as well as gender diversity which is considered in depth. The analysis of the thinking of two major economists of the past John Stuart Mill and Gustav Schmoller demonstrates how gender diversity exemplifies some of the fundamental issues in economics such as the division of labour society’s capacity to reproduce itself and the role of social institutions and their impact on individual and collective behaviour. The book maintains that growth of GDP and of the services sector cannot be trusted to automatically bring about greater inclusion of women in the labour market. Active policy interventions are needed spanning from the removal of discrimination to the provision of public services and the establishment of fair competition in the market along with an improved division of social and political power between the sexes. This work will be of interest to researchers and students focusing on the history of economic thought labour economics social policy and gender studies.

Economics and Ecological Risk AssessmentApplications to Watershed Management With contributions from a wide array of economists ecologists and government agency professionals Economics and Ecological Risk Assessment: Applications to Watershed Management provides a multidisciplinary approach to environmental decision-making at a watershed level. It introduces the fields of ecological risk assessment (ERA) and economic analysis and discusses their application to the practice of watershed management. The book presents a general framework for the integration of ERA and economic analysis to improve environmental management in a diversity of watersheds. Focusing on real-world decisions this book describes studies conducted in six U.S. watersheds where both ecological and economic analyses were needed. Decision contexts for these studies include negotiations to satisfy Endangered Species Act requirements natural resource damage assessment Clean Water Act permitting and community development planning. The success of ecological-economic integration in each study and the contribution to decision making is critically examined. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367578107

Economics and EcologyUnited for a Sustainable World The earth our home is in crisis. There are two sides to this crisis—our global economy and its effect on the ecology of our home planet. Despite conventional thinking that typical monetary and fiscal manipulations will put us back on the path of economic growth the reality is not that simple. Meanwhile the natural environment is sending unmistakable warnings. Glaciers are melting; oceans are becoming dangerously acidic; species and their ecological services are becoming extinct; and weather patterns are becoming increasingly severe and unpredictable each year. The stress on resource systems of all kinds threatens to shrink the carrying capacity of the planet even as we call upon it for increased contributions to support a burgeoning human population. Co-written by an ecologist and an economist Economics and Ecology: United for a Sustainable World counsels the replacement of symptomatic thinking with a systemic worldview that treats the environment and the economy as an ecosystemic unit. The first part of the book establishes the methodological and biophysical principles needed to develop the concept of socioeconomic sustainability. The second part of the book examines the misuse of economics in the service of what increasingly appears to be a ruinous pursuit of material wealth and expansion. The third part offers advice on reconciling economics and ecology by proposing an economics in which the principles employed are aligned with the biophysical principles of ecology. This timely volume puts forth a sustainable worldview based on systemic thinking with the emphasis more on what and how people think than on what they do. A unique reference for professionals and laypersons alike it can also serve as a supplementary classroom text for students of economics ecology biology and environmental science.

Economics and Economic Policy in Britain The first part of the book is devoted to an historical survey of what has been written regarding Britain's policy problems since 1946: problems such as full employment the sources and methods of controlling inflation and the measures to promote economic growth. At an international level issues such as economic relations with Europe and the question of devaluation are considered. The subsequent part of the book considers how far economists' recommendations regarding policies have been derived from well-tested theories or how far they have been based on speculation guesswork or judgement.

Economics and Ethics? In December 1994 social scientists from the fields of economics philosophy political science and anthropology attended a workshop to discuss the current state of the economics-ethics nexus by way of examining both past and contemporary practice. The proceedings of this conference presented a wide variety of attitudes and included an examination of economics and ethics: * from an economist's and a philosopher's perspective * in order to assess the contemporary implications of the relationship * in the late 19th century against the background of a long utilitarian tradition This is a set of stimulating reflections by practitioners - including Chen Liew Ten Bob Coats and Geoffrey Brennan - on the tricky associations between economics and ethics.

Economics and HIVThe Sickness of Economics Economics has largely failed to provide useful insights on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The inability of a dominant branch of social science to assist in understanding an illness with significant social economic and emotional effects is a serious failing in its own right. Moreover the inadequacy in its explanatory power also highlights important weakness in ‘mainstream’ economic theory the economic approach used by most governments and institutions. This book sets out the role that economic analysis has had and why it can be judged to have failed. This book explains how and why economics has been applied to a terrible pandemic using a range of examples mostly drawn from the region most affected sub-Saharan Africa. Part I shows that microeconomic approaches have found fertile ground in a public health approach that ‘blames’ individual choices for HIV transmission. Despite their attractiveness however these approaches fail to explain contemporary patterns of HIV prevalence illustrating the importance of factors that are excluded from the standard microeconomic approach. Part II of the book looks at our problems in understanding the economic impact of AIDS and explains why economists cannot agree if epidemic disease is a good or bad thing for economic development. In both sections of the book the potential for alternative approaches is shown and the book ends by arguing that a political economy approach can bring meaningful insights to our understanding of the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS. This book is aimed at those working on African development or HIV/AIDS specifically. It will be of interest to researchers policy-makers and postgraduate students.

Economics and Interdisciplinary Exchange Economists have not always been on friendly terms with scientists from other fields. More than once economists have been accused of 'imperialism' or criticized for neglecting the insights obtained in other fields. The history of economics however yields manifold examples of interdisciplinary 'borrowing' where economists have adapted concepts and theories from other fields. This book deals with the exchanges (or sometimes the lack thereof) between economics and neighbouring disciplines. The contributions examine specific cases and episodes taken from the history of economics indicating that many important economists were paying attention to what happened beyond the borders of their own field. The themes covered include: the interaction of economics with literature Christian theology history demography and natural sciences the relationships between economics and policy and economics and 'common sense'. With contributions from leading specialists this volume will prove essential reading not only for those working in economics but also those interested in the possibilities of disciplinary cross-fertilisation in any subject.

Economics and LiteratureA Comparative and Interdisciplinary Approach Since the Middle Ages literature has portrayed the economic world in poetry drama stories and novels. The complexity of human realities highlights crucial aspects of the economy. The nexus linking characters to their economic environment is central in a new genre the "economic novel" that puts forth economic choices and events to narrate social behavior individual desires and even non-economic decisions. For many authors literary narration also offers a means to express critical viewpoints about economic development for example in regards to its ecological or social ramifications.Conflicts of economic interest have social political and moral causes and consequences. This book shows how economic and literary texts deal with similar subjects and explores the ways in which economic ideas and metaphors shape literary texts focusing on the analogies between economic theories and narrative structure in literature and drama. This volume also suggests that connecting literature and economics can help us find a common language to voice new critical perspectives on crises and social change. Written by an impressive array of experts in their fields Economics and Literature is an important read for those who study history of economic thought economic theory and philosophy as well as literary and critical theory.

Economics and Management in the Biopharmaceutical Industry in the USAEvolution and Strategic Change From a managerial perspective the biopharmaceutical industry represents a competitive fast-changing intellectually-powered innovation-driven sector. Many management scholars have studied this discontinuous era to make sense of strategic behavior and the cognition of firms and top managers. A past look at the biopharmaceutical industry provides answers to questions that most managers have. For example what options do you have and what actions do you take when new firms enter your industry? In the 1970s new biotechnology firms funded by venture capitalists appeared in the pharmaceutical industry with new knowledge. Successful pharmaceutical firms decided to collaborate with the new entrants and forge relationships to develop and create new biotechnology engineered drugs. Thus the addition of new biotechnology firms ushered in a new business model based on strategic alliances. Strategic alliances have now become an industrial norm called open innovation.The author looks at the historical path of the biopharmaceutical industry particularly in the United States. While the pharmaceutical industry’s main contributions to society are substantial there are pressing challenges the industry must face such as an increase in infectious disease outbreaks or the global aging population which require new types of care additionally mental health care and prescription painkiller addiction are persistent issues with economic repercussions to both federal and local governments. This book presents a holistic view of the biopharmaceutical industry putting it in a historical context. It will best serve those who are eager to learn about this dynamic fast-evolving industry and who would like to tackle current biopharmaceutical industry issues in the United States and be prepared for future industry challenges.

Economics and Other DisciplinesAssessing New Economic Currents During the second half of the twentieth century economics exported its logic – utility maximization – to the analysis of several human activities or realities: a tendency that has been called “economic imperialism”. This book explores the concept termed by John Davis as “reverse imperialism” whereby economics has been seen in recent years to have taken in elements from other disciplines.Economics and Other Disciplines sheds light on the current state and possible future development of economics by focusing on it from a philosophical perspective broadening the concept of rationality in economic theory. The beliefs that prevail in the world today make up a physicalist worldview. This book argues that this pervasive view is harmful for economics as a social science. Do new economic currents like behavioral economics evolutionary economics neuroeconomics institutional economics happiness economics the capability approach and civil economy escape this widespread mentality? What would be an adequate underlying economic ethos? Do these approaches fit into this ethos?Ricardo F. Crespo appraises the contributions from a classical philosophy angle emphasizing their implications regarding practical reason. This volume is of great importance to those who are interested in political economy economic theory and philosophy as well as philosophy of social science.

Economics and PerformativityExploring Limits Theories and Cases Economists do more than merely describe an external economic world. They shape it in the image of their theories and models. This idea following the philosophy of language puts forward that economic theories are performative and not only descriptive. This idea has become a powerful critique of the scientificity of economics since it removes the idea of an external world against which our description could be evaluated as truth. If any theory can become true there are no true theories per se because there is no such thing as a pre-existing economy to describe. Is such a relativist stance a fatality? This is the question at stake in this book. Furthermore the author asks if any theory is able to ‘perform’ the social reality or are there actually some limits to performativity? For philosophers a performative statement is a statement that cannot fail to mean something but can fail to do what it calls for. The state of the world may or may not be changed; the performative statement may be happy or unhappy. In economic terms this can be interpreted as: some theories change the world while some do not. This book argues that this possibility of failure a perspective previously missing from discussions on the subject should be at the heart of any definition of failure.Taking on the question of why some theories change the world while others do not this volume will be of interest to those studying advances courses on the philosophy of economics as well as those studying and researching in the areas of the philosophy of sciences and sociology of science and economics.

Economics and Policy Issues in Climate Change Although the negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol focused world attention on the global climate it was just one step in the ongoing process of addressing climate change in all its facets. Research by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been ongoing since 1988. An extensive IPCC Working Group report published in 1995 examined the economic and social aspects of climate change. In this volume eminent analysts assess that IPCC report and address the questions that emerge from it. The result is an instructive and cogent look at the realities of climate change and some methods (and difficulties) of dealing with them. William Nordhaus's introduction establishes the context for the book. It provides basic scientific background on climate change reviews the IPCC's activities and explains the genesis of the analyses. Subsequent contributions fall into two categories. Early chapters review analytical issues critical to social and economic understanding of climate change. A second set of chapters address specific economic questions surrounding climate-change policy. The result is an original and significant contribution to the evolving debate on this crucial hot-button topic. Media > Books > Print Books RFF Press 9781138376595

Economics and PowerA Marxist Critique In the economic debate power is defined and studied mainly as an interpersonal relation occurring out of perfect competition. This is a consequence of the combination of methodological individualism and the assumption of competition as a natural and everlasting coordinating mechanism operating without any sort of coercion. This methodology however is not adequate to analyze the forms of social coercion that characterize capitalism. Economics and Power criticizes the main theories of power developed in economic literature analyzing ultraliberal contractualism to radical political economics and ultimately suggesting a Marxist conception of power and coercion in capitalism. Palermo’s ontological argument is rooted in the philosophy of ‘critical realism’.This unique volume presents his main finding as being that the essential coercive mechanism of capitalism is competition. Capitalist power is not caused by a lack of competition but by the central role it plays in this mode of production. Following this the chapters reconstruct a Marxian conception of power where it is analyzed as a social relation and argues that perfect competition does in fact exist under the disguise of capitalist power. This book criticizes the construct of power and the underlying ideas surrounding perfect competition. This book is of interest to those who study political economy as well as economic theory and philosophy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367250935

Economics and Regulation in China This book from a top international group of scholars explores the ways in which economic tools can be used to improve the quality of regulation in general and legislative tools in particular. As the role of law becomes increasingly important in China the question arises of how effective regulatory and legislative tools can be developed to accompany the Chinese evolution towards a welfare state. China therefore provides a unique case study for scholars and policymakers interested in examining how regulation can play a role in promoting sustainable development. Economics and Regulation in China goes beyond traditional economic analysis of law by focusing specifically on the question of how economic tools can guide the quality of legislation. To this end the book centres in on three areas: regulation as a tool of economic growth competition policy and environmental policy. Not only are these three domains of great importance for China but they are also relevant for a broad scholarship interested in the economic analysis of law. This volume contributes to discussions on how ex-ante evaluation of legislative proposals and ex-post analysis can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of regulation using economic tools offering insights that go beyond the particular case of China. The analysis offered by this book makes it an invaluable resource for academics and policymakers alike. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138215054

Economics and the EnvironmentA signalling and incentives approach Coordinating our use of the earth's natural resources is not easy. Resource users are many their goals diverse and their impacts on the environment often uncertain.How we use those resources depends on the signals and incentives we receive from either the market or our governments. These systems encourage certain uses of natural resources but they are not perfect. We harm the environment not out of malice but because we do not know the consequences of our actions or the incentives for harm are too great to ignore.Economics and the Environment argues that by lowering the cost and improving the quality of the necessary signals and incentives we can better reconcile our diverse interests in the environment. It introduces an economic way of thinking about environmental issues without assuming a background in economics:* how the economy and the environment interact* how resource use is coordinated in ideal market and planned economies* the barriers to ideal signalling and incentives in real markets and real government planning* the economist's tools for dealing with natural resource issues* the uncertainty and complexity of environmental issues: climate change water rights air pollution and overharvesting of common resources.This second edition of Economics and the Environment is fully updated and includes new material on sustainability valuation of environmental changes the prospects for international cooperation under the Kyoto Protocol and the problems of defining and enforcing measures to protect biodiversity. It offers students in both economics and environmental studies programs a coherent framework for understanding our major environmental problems.'Ian Wills succeeds in providing a fresh perspective . . . a very interesting and informative textbook.'Economic Record Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781003115465

Economics and the Good Life Bertrand de Jouvenel (1903-1987) was known in the United States primarily as a political scientist. His best-known works--On Power Sovereignty and The Pure Theory of Politics--all made distinctive contributions to our understanding of the modern state and to the creation of a political science capable of civilizing that state. His work in the field of economics is relatively unknown in the United States but like many writers in the contemporary field of political economy de Jouvenel is not interested in expanding the claims of economy at the expense of polity. On the contrary his thinking is governed by the oldest and most fundamental of political concerns the definition of the good life.The good life is not a product of the marketplace but of deliberate and collective decision--that is a task for thoughtful citizens and statesmen and not simply the sum of millions of separate and amoral "consumer preferences." De Jouvenel is well known for his opposition to the distended state but he was no anarchist. His eloquent warnings to keep the state in its proper sphere were accompanied by a richly sophisticated discussion of what the proper sphere is--an aspect of his work that comes through very clearly in this volume.Written between 1952 and 1980 the essays range from a discussion of technology to reflections on such fundamental economic concepts as "amenity" and "welfare." They include the deeply theoretical as well as the practical and the concrete. All are informed by de Jouvenel's insistence that a science which seeks to understand the production and distribution of "goods" must be concerned in the first place with the good itself. Economics and the Good Life is a companion volume to The Nature of Politics: Selected Essays of Bertrand de Jouvenel. Like the earlier volume this collection is accompanied by an editor's introduction that places the essays in the wider context of de Jouvenel's work. This work is essential to the libraries of economists political theorists historians and sociologists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138522626

Economics and the Price Index The price index a pervasive long established institution for economics is a number issued by the Statistical Office that should tell anyone the ratio of costs of maintaining a given standard of living in two periods where prices differ. For a chain of three periods the product of the ratios for successive pairs must coincide with the ratio for the endpoints. This is the chain consistency required of price indices. A usual supposition is that the index is determined by a formula involving price and quantity data for the two reference periods always joined with the question of which one to choose and the perplexity that chain consistency is not obtained with any. Hence finally they should all be abandoned. This situation reflects ‘The Index Number Problem’. This book brings together a coherent discussion of fifty years of astonishingly creative work on this subject.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138805330

Economics and the Theory of Games This textbook offers a systematic self-contained account of the main contributions of modern game theory and its applications to economics. Starting with a detailed description of how to model strategic situations the discussion proceeds by studying basic solution concepts their main refinements games played under incomplete information and repeated games. For each of these theoretical developments there is a companion set of applications that cover the most representative instances of game-theoretic analysis in economics e.g. oligopolistic competition public goods coordination failures bargaining insurance markets implementation theory signaling and auctions. The theory and applications covered in the first part of the book fall under the so-called 'classical' approach to game theory which is founded on the paradigm of players' unlimited rationality. The second part shifts towards topics that no longer abide by that paradigm. This leads to the study of topics such as the interplay between evolution and rationality.

Economics as an Evolutionary ScienceFrom Utility to Fitness Economics is traditionally taken to be the social science concerned with the production consumption exchange and distribution of wealth and commodities. Economists carefully track the comings and goings of the human household whether written small (microeconomics) or large (macroeconomics) and attempt to predict future patterns under different situations. However in constructing their models of economic behavior economists often lose sight of the actual characteristics and motivations of their human subjects. In consequence they have found the goal of an explanatory and predictive science to be elusive. Economics as an Evolutionary Science reorients economics toward a more direct appreciation of human nature with an emphasis on what we have learned from recent advances in evolutionary science. The authors integrate economics and evolution to produce a social science that is rigorous internally coherent testable and consistent with the natural sciences. The authors suggest an expanded definition of "fitness " as in Darwin's survival of the fittest emphasizing not only the importance of reproduction and the quality of offspring but also the unique ability of humans to provide material wealth to their children. The book offers a coherent explanation for the recent decline in fertility which is shown to be consistent with the evolutionary goal of maximizing genetic success. In addition the authors demonstrate the relevance to economics of several core concepts derived from biologists including the genetics of parent-offspring conflict inclusive fitness theory and the phenomena of R-selection and K-selection. The keystone of their presentation is a cogent critique of the traditional concept of "utility." As the authors demonstrate the concept can be modified to reflect the fundamental evolutionary principle whereby living things-including human beings-have been selected to behave in a manner that maximizes their genetic representation in future generations. Despite the extraordinary interest in applying evolutionary biology to other disciplines Economics as an Evolutionary Science marks the first major attempt at a synthesis of biology and economics. Scholarly yet accessible this volume offers unique and original perspectives on an entire discipline. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138509375

Economics as Social ScienceEconomics imperialism and the challenge of interdisciplinarity There is a growing consensus in social sciences that there is a need for interdisciplinary research on the complexity of human behavior. At an age of crisis for both the economy and economic theory economics is called upon to fruitfully cooperate with contiguous social disciplines. The term ‘economics imperialism’ refers to the expansion of economics to territories that lie outside the traditional domain of the discipline. Its critics argue that in starting with the assumption of maximizing behaviour economics excludes the nuances of rival disciplines and has problems in interpreting real-world phenomena. 　 This book focuses on a territory that persists to be largely intractable using the postulates of economics: that of primitive societies. In retracing the origins of economics imperialism back to the birth of the discipline this volume argues that it offers a reductionist interpretation that is poor in interpretative power. By engaging with the neglected traditions of sociological and anthropological studies the analysis offers suggestions for a more democratic cooperation between the social sciences. 　 Economics as Social Science is of great interest to those who study history of economic thought political economy and the history of economic anthropology as well as history of social sciences and economic methodology.

Economics for an Information AgeMoney-Bargaining Support-Bargaining and the Information Interface Economics for an Information Age examines the central role of information within economics and society. The neoclassical economic model taught as ‘mainstream economics’ in universities around the world relies on a mathematical model of ‘resource allocation’ in which private advantage gives rise to public advantage in the shape of an optimal allocation of resources. However this model assumes ‘perfect information’. In the present ‘information age’ such an assumption is even farther from the reality than it was in the past. People disseminate and manipulate information to further their interests.This book explains economic behaviour in terms of a theory of ‘money-bargaining’ and political and intellectual ‘support-bargaining’ in which the dissemination of information plays a central role. It uses this lens to explain how information is created manipulated disseminated organised understood interpreted used bought and sold.This book will be of interest to mainstream and heterodox economists alike as well as historians of economic thought and anyone who seeks to better understand the impact of the information age on economic behaviour.

Economics for Collaborative Environmental ManagementRenegotiating the Commons 'Marshall has re-grafted economics to the philosophical roots of collaborative environmental management given stakeholders a pragmatic economics for 'bottom-up' conflict resolution and eliminated the need for 'top-down' economic experts. Beautifully reasoned and wonderfully practical!' RICHARD B. NORGAARD ENERGY AND RESOURCES PROGRAM UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY US 'If the potential of collaborative management is ever realized it will owe a debt to this book. It provides a foundational economic theory of learning coming from complex adaptive systems thinking tested with field experience' ALLAN SCHMID UNIVERSITY DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY US 'Marshall argues that mainstream economics captive as it is of the prisoner's dilemma and the dangers of free-riding is in a blind alley when it comes to contributing to constructive debate on governance of the commons. This is a significant book which draws on the new institutional economics to indicate a productive way in which economists could contribute to thinking on common property natural resource management' WARREN MUSGRAVE EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF AGRICULTURAL AND RESOURCE ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND AUSTRALIA 'Economic thought and emerging collaborative environmental governance are important areas of thought and application but are mostly found at great distance from each other and very often in conflict. Marshall not only clearly demonstrates why this is so he goes on to detail an alternative pathway that can strengthen both of these fields in both their theory and practice. This is a most impressive feat and this is a book thoroughly deserving a very wide readership' STEPHEN DOVERS SENIOR FELLOW AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY 'A valuable contribution to the burgeoning literature on voluntary collective action that demonstrates how processes can be designed to produce trust amongst stakeholders. Marshall anchors theory in the common property resource governance literature that has challenged orthodox economics for the last 25 years and offers the prospect of productive relationships between users bureaucrats and funders' MARK SPROULE-JONES V. K. COPPS PROFESSOR MCMASTER UNIVERSITY CANADA Mainstream economics has a tight grip on public discourse yet remains poorly equipped to comprehend the collaborative vision for managing environmental and resource commons. This ground-breaking book diagnoses the weaknesses of mainstream economics in analysing collaborative and other decentralized approaches to environmental management and presents a unique operational approach to how collaborative environmental governance might be brought to fruition in a variety of contexts whether in industrialized or developing countries. The result is a powerful useful and badly needed approach to economics for collaborative environmental management of the commons. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781849771047

Economics for Environmental Professionals Environmental professionals are often called upon to find solutions to environmental degradation problems or to lead the way in planning to prevent them. Because they come mainly from the environmental and science disciplines most environmental professionals have limited training in the fundamentals of economics. This book is designed to provide those professionals not only with the basic principles of economics for foundational purposes but also the economic pros and cons to consider when making critical decisions on environmental issues. Economics for Environmental Professionals provides a fully explanatory quantitative and practical introduction to a wide range of topics that make up the science of environmental economics. Moreover it showcases the power of economic principles to explain and predict issues and current events impacting the environment. It discusses the economics relevant to the environmental mediums of air water and land and provides pertinent information on air toxics hazardous wastes and other related topics. It provides environmental professionals with the education not only to understand the nuts and bolts of economic analysis but also to conduct economic analyses. Throughout the book the author joins economics and environmental practice with common-sense approaches and practical real-world examples. Designed to stimulate thought the book explores strategies for maintaining a safe environment without excessive regulation and cost. With the information in this book environmental professionals will have an understanding of the framework in which environmental problems exist what they cost how to pay for them and what the payback is (if any).

Economics for the WildsWildlife Wildlands Diversity and Development Originally published in 1992 Economics for the Wilds argues that an economics that properly values the resources of the wilds offers the best long-term security for their future. Most of the world’s wilds have in fact always been utilized by local societies who have managed their resources sustainably and one important guarantee for their preservation is therefore the continued participation of those communities and an adequate reward to them for their management. The book looks at the complexity and global nature of the issues at the application of economics to the wilds and at the policies for their conservation and sustainable management which then result. It also examines specific forms of utilization of wild species and habitats both sustainable and unsustainable and including community-based development tourism the use of rainforest products poaching and the impact of conservation on wildlife use. The book concludes that a comprehensive utilization strategy for wild resources is needed to ensure their continued existence and the continued flow of benefits from them.

Economics in RussiaStudies in Intellectual History The history of Russian economic ideas from the sixteenth century to contemporary times is a fascinating tumultuous yet neglected topic among Western scholars. Whilst over the last 15 years increasing amounts of work has been done on the subject co-operation between Russian and Western researchers in this field leaves much to be desired. In order to improve this situation this volume unites Russian and non-Russian researchers together to provide an overview of the current state of the topic and to give a stimulus for further research. Bringing together scholars from the UK Germany Japan Australia Finland and Russia the collection puts forward differing yet complimentary perspectives on the long-term history of Russian economic ideas. Offering a broad collection of articles covering the period from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries authors have approached the subject from diverse theoretical angles. Contributions in the tradition of Blaug and Schumpeter focusing on economic analysis in a narrower sense and contributions that - in line with authors like Pribram or Perlman/McCann - deal with economic thought in the context of history and culture are all represented. In terms of content the editors have encouraged approaches that represent different economic traditions in order to encourage a diversity of opinions on the national development of Russian economics. As such the volume offers a broad and very relevant assessment of the subject for both historians and economists alike. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138265547

Economics In The Future First published in 1976. Economics has always been in a crisis since it broke away from social philosophy in the late eighteenth century. But from time to time this crisis has been particularly acute. Such was the case at the turn of the last century when the classical predictions proved less and less true and in response the marginalist schools emerged. Such also was the case at the beginning of the 1930s when the proof of the established harmony propounded in that theory was contradicted by the Great Depression giving rise to the new macroeconomics pioneered by Keynes. doubt that contemporary economics is in a crisis at least if crisis is defined as the inability to meet the challenge of the times. Problems like mass poverty unbalanced affluence increasing regional economic disparities imbalances in population development irrational disposition of non-renewable resources and production and consumption processes ill-adjusted to the limited carrying capacity of the environment are among many pressing problems awaiting solution by economists. The purpose of this book is to bring together responses from leading economists to these problems. Given the vast subject matter it is only to be expected that the specific emphasis given to various approaches differs among the authors. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780429051319

Economics Made FunPhilosophy of the pop-economics Best-selling books such as Freakonomics and The Undercover Economist have paved the way for the flourishing economics-made-fun genre. While books like these present economics as a strong and explanatory science the ongoing economic crisis has exposed the shortcomings of economics to the general public. In the face of this crisis many people including well-known economists such as Paul Krugman have started to express their doubts about whether economics is a success as a science. As well as academic papers newspaper columns with a large audience have discussed the failure of economic to predict and explain ongoing trends. The emerging picture is somewhat confusing: economics-made-fun books present economics as a method of thinking that can successfully explain everyday and "freaky" phenomena. On the other hand however economics seems to fail in addressing and explaining the most pressing matters related to the field of economics itself. This book explores the confusion created by this contradictory picture of economics. Could a science that cannot answer its own core questions really be used to explain the logic of everyday life? This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Economic Methodology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138085404

Economics of an Innovation SystemInside and Outside the Black Box Existing literature looks at national innovation systems from the perspective of either "inside the black box" or "outside the black box". This is the first book that analyzes both the inside and outside of the black box using a general equilibrium framework.The book looks at what is outside the black box and provides models of path-dependent endogenous growth;  examines the dynamics of the black box from the intersectoral perspective of the economy; and proposes an innovation flow matrix. It also takes into account both business cycles and endogenous innovation in the unified New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model and examines how business cycles and other policy shocks affect endogenous innovation.The unified treatment of the national innovation system from perspectives both inside and outside the black box using rigorous economic models and empirical analyses makes this an enlightening work shedding new light on innovation economics.

Economics of Betting Markets During the last few decades commercial gambling has increased substantially throughout the Western world. More people than ever before have access to sources of legalised gambling leading to bumper revenues for the institutions involved. Naturally enough this has led to an increased interest in the area of the economics of betting. This book addresses the issues raised by the continued growth of the gambling sector. How can we model the behaviour of people who seemingly act irrationally? What are the implications of different tax policies with regard to gambling? Are casinos capable of taking money away from state-run lotteries and the causes they fund? Can bookmakers’ odds be influenced in such a way as to make the gambling market inefficient? The authors in this volume provide insights based on data from many different countries including England the USA Australia Spain and Cyprus. This volume brings together work which addresses the economic impact of the huge growth of commercial gambling in the Western world as well as trying to model the cognitive processes which can explain why individuals are prepared to behave in such apparently irrational ways. This book was published as a special issue of Applied Economics. The academic editor of this journal is Mark P. Taylor. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415847261

Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry Since the 1992 Earth Summit there have been increased efforts on an international scale to address global climate change. Reducing the increased levels of CO2 and other "greenhouse gases " which are believed to be contributing to this climatic change will require major effort on the part of the world's governments. This means that the environmental economic social and political consequences of climate change must be understood and that strategies to mitigate climate change must also address these issues.The workshop detailed in this book concentrated on how economic principles and analysis could contribute to the planning of forestry projects aimed at affecting terrestrial carbon balances. More than 30 international scientists came together for one week near Stockholm Sweden and divided into working groups charged with addressing a specific issue and preparing a paper within this time frame. This book contains the majority of papers presented at this meeting and includes both the working group papers and the individually presented papers.

Economics of Dryland Management We have always had land in which the agricultural productivity is limited because there is not enough moisture. Systems of farming and burning often degrade dryland further until it is desert. Today however the problem is becoming much more serious. Over 20 per cent of the world's population lives in dryland areas and unless action is taken drylands will increase dramatically. This book focuses on the people who live and .farm in the drylands their use of land resources and the economic returns from their decisions. In a clear and thorough economic appraisal the authors show how it is still possible to arrest the problem. Originally published in 1989 Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315066257

Economics of Feeding the HungrySustainable Intensification and Sustainable Food Security As productivity expands to cater for population increase and shifting diets many individuals remain hungry whilst others suffer obesity and significant amounts of food are wasted. Yet this triple dilemma oversimplifies the underlying complexity. This book explores this complexity from an economics perspective looking at the processes involved and the institutional structures that direct and constrain their interaction. After discussing alternative approaches to measuring hunger and food insecurity this volume considers the four dimensions of food security: availability affordability utilization and stability. In summarising the main debates issues and policy interventions Russell discusses the problems of ensuring sufficient food in the face of ever-slowing growth in productivity and constraints on land and water. The problems of food affordability the need for safety nets and the need for poverty alleviation measures that reach excluded and disadvantaged groups is also discussed. This is alongside an exploration of issues related to food utilization and the problems of hidden hunger obesity food waste and the interventions needed to relieve these problems. This volume is of great interest to those who study rural development ecological economics and development economics as well as policy makers who seek a better understanding of underlying processes ongoing and emerging issues and potentially relevant interventions.

Economics of Forestry This title was first published in 2003. The 'Economics of Forestry' is a specialized subset of resource economics addressing a specific natural resource - the forest - which is usually a relatively long time period. Hence forest economics has characteristics similar to nonrenewable resources but also has those of a renewable resource in some cases approaching those of agriculture. This volume comprises some of the most significant journal essays in forest economics and forest policy. The International Library of Environmental Economics and Policy explores the influence of economics on the development of environmental and natural resource policy. In a series of twenty five volumes the most significant journal essays in key areas of contemporary environmental and resource policy are collected. Scholars who are recognized for their expertise and contribution to the literature in the various research areas serve as volume editors and write essays that provides the context for the collection. Volumes in the series reflect three broad strands of economic research including 1) Natural and Environmental Resources 2) Policy Instruments and Institutions and 3) Methodology. The editors in their introduction to each volume provide a state-of-the-art overview of the topic and explain the influence and relevance of the collected papers on the development of policy. This reference series provides access to the economic literature that has shaped contemporary perspectives on land use analysis and policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138741775

Economics of Globalisation Globalisation has evolved to become the dominant economic cultural environmental and political phenomenon of our time. In economic terms debates now extend beyond concepts of 'winners and losers' to key questions of how to deal with the problems unleashed by globalisation while preserving its benefits. However if the benefits of globalisation are fairly shared and the costs properly dealt with a deeper economic understanding of how globalisation is impacting our economic world is needed. This important book addresses this task featuring contributions from many of the world's leading economists. Seven key aspects of globalisation are considered: trans-border trade trans-border movement of people and capital the emergence of a new international order the homogenization of economic cultures technology and institutions labour market consequences corporate governance issues and prospects for a global society. These carefully chosen themes illuminate the complex path that globalisation is following by showing it to be a process consisting of various transitions and subplots the totality of which is closely examined in this comprehensive and authoritative work. Economics of Globalisation is essential reading for academics researchers policy-makers and business professionals. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780815388715

Economics of International Environmental AgreementsA Critical Approach International environmental agreements provide a basis for countries to address ecological problems on a global scale. However countries are heterogeneous with respect to their economic structures and to the problems relating to the environment that they encounter. Therefore economic externalities and global environmental conflicts are common and can cause problems in implementation and compliance with international agreements.Economics of International Environmental Agreements illuminates those issues and factors that might cause some countries or firms to take different positions on common problems. This book explores why international environmental agreements deal with some problems successfully but fail with others. The chapters address issues that are global in nature such as: transboundary pollution provision of global public goods individual preferences of inequality- aversion global cooperation self-enforcing international environmental agreements emission standards abatement costs environmental quota technology agreement and adoption and international institutions. They examine the necessary conditions for the improved performance of international environmental agreements how cooperation among countries can be improved and the incentives that can be created for voluntary compliance with international environmental agreements.This text is of great importance to academics students and policy makers who are interested in environmental economics policy and politics as well as environmental law.

Economics of Maritime Business This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the economics of the business of maritime transport. It provides an economic explanation of four aspects of maritime transport namely the demand the supply the market and the strategy. The book first explains why seaborne trade happens and what its development trends are; it then analyses the main features of shipping supply and how various shipping markets function; the book finally addresses the critical strategic issues of the shipping business. The full range of different types of shipping are covered throughout the chapters and cases. The book combines the basic principles of maritime transport with the modern shipping business and the latest technological developments particularly in the area of digital disruption. The ideas and explanations are supported and evidenced by practical examples and more than 160 tables and figures. The questions posed by the book are similar to those that would be asked by the students in their learning process or the professionals in the business environment with the answers concentrating on the reasons for what has happened and will happen in the future rather than merely fact-telling or any specific forecast. The book is most suited for students of shipping-related disciplines and is also a valuable reference for maritime professionals. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138999657

Economics of Marketable Surplus SupplyTheoretical and Empirical Analysis for China Published in 1998. Chinese farm households have been at the centre of the rural reform process since the introduction of the Household Responsibility System in the late 1970’s. There can be little doubt that for decades to come they will continue to be a focus of interest both in academic and political circles. This is particularly true in relation to their role of grain sector when we consider the prominent position of grain in China’s political economy. There is also intense global interest in the impact of the reform process on the country’s future grain self-sufficiency and trade. This book is ambitious in both its scope and remit. Its primary focus is the behaviour of the marketable surplus element of farm households’ grain supply since the beginning of the reform period. The early chapters provide very valuable insights into the nature of the rural reform process; it then looks at the impact of the reforms on the structure of rural economy in general and farm households in particular. This part of the book is rich in statistics on the reform period. In the analytical section the emphasis is on the difficult area of household modelling covering both theoretical and empirical aspects. Despite the data limitations which the authors acknowledge these chapters provide very valuable analyses of the grain price changes. In particular their use of models which capture the interdependencies between grain marketable surplus supply is a genuine contribution. This book should be read by anyone with an interest in the rural reform process in China and will be of particular relevance to students scholars and the policy community.

Economics of Planning Policies in ChinaInfrastructure Location and Cities Fast urbanizing countries like China have experienced rapid – albeit geographically uneven – local and regional economic growth during the past few decades. Notwithstanding this development pattern China has been investing heavily in targeted coastal and inland regions through planning policies for infrastructure location and cities. This is a largely place-based investment process that is of great importance for the public business and policymakers. China’s urban and regional transformations provide incentives for spatial agglomeration and will shift the growth of activities within and across cities for decades to come. This spatial differentiation is likely to be driven by government decisions at all levels about where when and in what to invest in an institutional context where policy instruments act to constrain or facilitate China’s urban and regional development.Economics of Planning Policies in China looks at the role that the institutional characteristics of the Chinese planning system and market mechanisms play in transforming and shaping the infrastructure location and cities with the potential for spatial disparity and inclusive growth. The planning and geographical perspective and evidence make this book a reference for international scholars policymakers and graduates Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367870461

Economics of Property Management: The Building as a Means of Production The economic analysis of a building is a complex subject and traditionally it has focused on a single aspect of the structure or a single part of the construction process. Dr Tempelmans Plat is a leading proponent of a new methodology which focuses on the building as a stock of services to be supplied over a long lifespan. This method is more realistic since it takes into account the changes in use and the adaptation of the building over its life. This book will be the first to make this method comprehensible to a wide audience of postgraduate students and professionals in the field of construction economics.

Economics of the Indian Steel Industry Steel is the foundational material of modern civilization and constitutes the core of industry and yet it is overproduced across the world. This supply glut is reducing margins and turning steel into a sunset industry. Steel consumes as much as four times the amount of raw materials as its produced volume and the sheer bulk of the steel makes it costly to transport. Because of this countries prefer to make their own rather than to source it across land and sea.The Indian steel industry has grown from being the tenth largest steel producer in the world in 1991 to emerging as the second largest after China. This book aims to reveal through data and the use of simple economic concepts the mistakes that abound in the discourses surrounding the steel industry. Its main objective is to dispel the many myths that are perpetuated by policy makers and the industry in order to benefit a small coterie of large firms and discusses how through such favours the Indian steel industry is set to lose out in terms of margins products and growth in technology. It covers the unique role of the Indian state in the development of the broad base of steel production and observes the change in the direction in policy which reverses the economic equality of the past and promotes collusion among oligopolies leading to overexpansion in capacities.Economics of the Indian Steel Industry will be of interest to students of industrial economics and corporate strategy as well as financial managers and policy makers.

Economics of TransitionA New Methodology for Transforming a Socialist Economy to a Market-led Economy First published in 1998 this volume responded to the recent fall of the Soviet Union and looks at the process of transitioning away from Socialist economies including case studies in the former Soviet Union Poland Hungary China East Germany and other Socialist countries. Taking the view that economic and political indicators suggest a lack of success in the post-Soviet transformation process Kızılyallı argues that they have been unsuccessful due to poor planning. Kızılyallı notes an abandonment of the previous system and an ineffective implementation of market capitalism which have led to these negative outcomes. The new method developed herein provides a partial solution through estimating the correct exchange rate based on world prices and under conditions of macroeconomic equilibrium while also allowing planning for sequencing market reforms. Reform issues are then discussed followed by the reform experiences of Poland Hungary East Germany China and the former Soviet Union. Lastly developments in macroeconomic theory are reviewed in light of these case studies. Kızılyallı concludes that both neoclassical and new Keynesian theories fail to provide an economically meaningful framework for analysis of current economic and employment problems nor for their cure.

Economics Through the Looking-GlassReflections on a Perverted Science Published in 1998. In spite of spectacular improvements in market flexibility the characteristics of the past twenty years are slow growth and high unemployment. Economics Through the Looking-Glass exposes the theoretical fallacy at the heart of the New Economic Orthodoxy. The fallacy lies in treating the economy as a "single-gear" machine guaranteed to operate at its full employment potential as long as it benefits from the lubricant of perfectly flexible markets (in a Walrasian Utopia of continuous market-clearing equilibrium). Unemployment is thereby reduced to a structural problem of market imperfection. As a cure for unemployment market flexibility is presumed to be adequate; as a cure for inflation monetary restriction is presumed to be safe. The flaw in Orthodox logic is exposed by a demonstration that a monetary economy operates as a 'multi-gear' machine. Unless it is in 'top-gear' market flexibility (even of Utopian perfection) is not sufficient for full employment. 'Single-gear' Economic Orthodoxy is shown to have developed not as a science but as a religion beginning with Adam Smith's revelation of the Law of Competition. A Looking-Glass journey backwards in time from Adam Smith uncovers his suppression of the Law of Circulation and exposes the dangerous delusion of Orthodox economic policy. As a weapon against unemployment market flexibility is inadequate; as a weapon against inflation monetary restriction is unsafe. The 'multi-gear' alternative heralds the final stage of economic liberalisation: deregulation of the market for money. The rescue of interest rates from political or central bank interference and the control of inflation by a mechanism triggered by market forces would put an end to the Orthodox policy of maintaining unemployment above its natural market rate by misguided monetary intervention.

Economics Versus Human Rights Human rights and economics are the concepts that have contributed the most to free human kind the former from fear and the latter from need. Consequently they should be complementing rather competing. Unfortunately it does not seem to be the case. In this book Manuel Couret Branco shows how mainstream economics discourse is intrinsically opposed to the promotion of human rights especially economic social and cultural rights. Considering a variety of issues this book looks at the conflict between economics and human rights at a theoretical level; how economics is opposed to the right to work; how economics being a science concerned with the provision of goods and services for commercial purposes conflicts with the idea of providing those same goods and services as rights using as examples the right to water and the right to social security; the opposition of economics to cultural freedom supported by the argument that economics tends to homogenize cultures on the basis of the idea that there is only one best culture to fulfil economic objectives; how economics contributes to the erosion of the democratic idea; and finally the opposition of economic globalisation to democracy. The main conclusion of the book is that enhancing human rights in the global economy era demands a radical transformation of economics and of the economy. This transformation should be characterised by reinstating the primacy of the person over the economy by replacing economics at the service of human dignity. One of the aspects of this transformation concerns the need for a democratic control of the market. This democratic control means that people affected by economic decisions should be able to participate in the making of those decisions. In other words the book proposes the recognition of economics as essentially a political science and thereby the rehabilitation of politics within economics' discourse.

Economics versus RealityHow to be Effective in the Real World in Spite of Economic Theory John M. Legge shows the many ways in which the real world diverges from economics textbooks. He argues that mainstream economic theory took a disastrous turn 140 years ago when it attempted to use calculus to explain human behaviour. A real economy involves people who are not variables in equations. This error led to a second mainstream economics becoming obsessed with equilibrium. However constant change is the reality and one cannot explain the present without understanding the path taken to get here. This book presents economics in historical context. It includes a short account of the contributions by some of the key figures in economic theory starting with Adam Smith. Smith placed great weight on morality: he believed that economic activity took place in a society and could not be justified except insofar as it advanced the interests of that society. Too many economists have come to believe that the interests of society can be measured by a number: that if a policy change raises GDP it is justified whatever its impact on people. Legge places the economy within society and society within the environment explaining that every significant decision has a social and environmental impact as well as an economic dimension. Seeking to provide answers to students professional business managers and those interested in the political process this work addresses the gap between theory and reality.

EconomicsAn Awkward Corner Originally published in 1966 this book has enduring validity. In analysing the economic situation of the late 1960s Joan Robinson discusses the contradictions which arise from the need to readjust the organisation of society to the fantastic capacity for producing material wealth that capital accumulation and progress in technology have made possible.

Economies of DeathEconomic logics of killable life and grievable death Economies of Death: Economic Logics of Killable Life and Grievable Death examines the economic logic involved in determining whose lives and deaths come to matter and why. Drawing from eight distinct case studies focused on the killability and grievability of certain humans animals and environmental systems this book advances an intersectional theory of economies of death. A key feature of late-modern capitalism is its tendency to economically order certain human and nonhuman lives and environments while appropriating and commodifying certain bodies and spaces in the process. Spanning the social sciences and humanities in its contributions and scope each chapter shows how living beings and places are stripped down to the calculus of their end with profound ethical and political implications for these entities and the world around them. From the genocide in Cambodia to the way some animals are considered ‘pets’ and others ‘food’; from September 11 2001 and Afghanistan to the politics of redemption for prisoners and ex-racehorses in Kentucky these case studies draw from and develop an enriched understanding of bio- and necropolitics posthumanism killability and grievability. In drawing together the objectification of humans animals and environments (and the power-laden hierarchies that maintain this objectification) this volume highlights how death across these subjects informs and responds to broader geo-economic processes. This book aims to examine the reach of economies of death across such diverse subjects challenging readers to consider the every-day calculus they make in determining whose lives mean more and why.

Economies of Desire at the Victorian Fin de Si�eLibidinal Lives This volume marks the first sustained study to interrogate how and why issues of sexuality desire and economic processes intersect in the literature and culture of the Victorian fin de siècle. At the end of the nineteenth-century the move towards new models of economic thought marked the transition from a marketplace centred around the fulfilment of ‘needs’ to one ministering to anything that might potentially be desired. This collection considers how the literature of the period meditates on the interaction between economy and desire doing so with particular reference to the themes of fetishism homoeroticism the literary marketplace social hierarchy and consumer culture. Drawing on theoretical and conceptual approaches including queer theory feminist theory and gift theory contributors offer original analyses of work by canonical and lesser-known writers including Oscar Wilde A.E. Housman Baron Corvo Vernon Lee Michael Field and Lucas Malet. The collection builds on recent critical developments in fin-de-siècle literature (including major interventions in the areas of Decadence sexuality and gender studies) and asks for instance how did late nineteenth-century writing schematise the libidinal and somatic dimensions of economic exchange? How might we define the relationship between eroticism and the formal economies of literary production/performance? And what relation exists between advertising/consumer culture and (dissident) sexuality in fin-de-siecle literary discourses? This book marks an important contribution to 19th-Century and Victorian literary studies and enhances the field of fin-de-siècle studies more generally.

Economies of DestructionHow the systematic destruction of valuables created value in Bronze Age Europe c. 2300-500 BC Why do people destroy objects and materials that are important to them? This book aims to make sense of this fascinating yet puzzling social practice by focusing on a period in history in which such destructive behaviour reached unseen heights and complexity: the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in Europe (c. 2300–500 BC). This period is often seen as the time in which a ‘familiar’ Europe took shape due to the rise of a metal-based economy. But it was also during the Bronze Age that massive amounts of scarce and recyclable metal were deliberately buried in the landscape and never taken out again. This systematic deposition of metalwork sits uneasily with our prevailing perception of the Bronze Age as the first ‘rational-economic’ period in history – and therewith – of ourselves. Taking the patterned archaeological evidence of these seemingly un-economic metalwork depositions at face value it is shown that the ‘un-economic’ giving-up of metal valuables was an integral part of what a Bronze Age ‘economy’ was about. Based on case studies from Bronze Age Europe this book attempts to reconcile the seemingly conflicting political and cultural approaches that are currently used to understand this pivotal period in Europe’s deep history. It seems that to achieve something in society something else must be given up. Using theories from economic anthropology this book argues that – paradoxically – giving up that which was valuable created value. It will be invaluable to scholars and archaeologists interested in the Bronze Age ancient economies and a new angle on metalwork depositions. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138088399

Economies of PeaceEconomy Formation Processes in Conflict-Affected Societies Looking beyond and beneath the macro level this book examines the processes and outcomes of the interaction of economic reforms and socio-economic peacebuilding programmes with and international interventions in people’s lived realities in conflict-affected societies.The contributions argue that disregarding socio-economic aspects of peace and how they relate to the everyday leaves a vacuum in the understanding of the formation of post-conflict economies. To address this gap the book outlines and deploys the concept of ‘post-conflict economy formation’. This is a multifaceted phenomenon including both formal and informal processes that occur in the post-conflict period and contribute to the introduction adjustment or abolition of economic practices institutions and rules that inform the transformation of the socio-economic fabric of the society. The contributions engage with existing statebuilding and peacebuilding debates while bringing in critical political economy perspectives. Specifically they analyse processes of post-conflict economy formation and the navigation between livelihood needs; local translations of the liberal hegemonic order; and different sparse manifestations of welfare states. The book concludes that a sustainable peace requires the formation of peace economies: economies that work towards reducing structural inequalities and grievances of the (pre-)conflict period as well as addressing the livelihood concerns of citizens.This book was originally published as a special issue of Civil Wars.

Economies of Representation 1790?2000Colonialism and Commerce Although postcolonialism has emerged as one of the most significant theoretical movements in literary and cultural studies it has paid scant attention to the importance of trade and trade relations to debates about culture. Focusing on the past two centuries this volume investigates the links among trade colonialism and forms of representation posing the question 'What is the historical or modern relationship between economic inequality and imperial patterns of representation and reading?' Rather than dealing exclusively with a particular industry or type of industry the contributors take up the issue of how various economies have been represented in Aboriginal art; in literature by North American Caribbean Portuguese South African First Nations Australian British and Aboriginal authors; and in a diverse range of writings that includes travel diaries missionary texts the findings of the Leprosy Investigation Commission early medical accounts and media representations of HIV/AIDS. Examining trade in commodities as various as illicit drugs liquor bananas tourism adventure fiction and modern Aboriginal art as well as cultural exchanges in politics medicine and literature the essays reflect the widespread origins of the contributors themselves who are based throughout the English-speaking world. Taken as a whole this book contests the commonplace view promoted by some modern economists-that trade in and of itself has a leveling effect equalising cultures places and peoples-demonstrating instead the ways in which commerce has created and exacerbated differences in power.

Economies that Mimic LifeFrom Biomimicry to Sustainable Prosperity The world economy today is at an historical inflection point. The neoclassical (industrial) model of economics is self-destructing while a new life-mimicking model based on radically different assumptions is emerging. Although rarely acknowledged in economic journals Nordic countries which pioneered the life-mimicking model have become world leaders in prosperity and productivity while those operating on the older neoclassical/industrial model are trapped in downward spirals. By approaching economies as sub-systems of life rather than super-systems that transcend life we gain transformative insights. Such thinking led to the first circular economy experiments in Kalundborg (Denmark) during the 1970s then quickly spread to the rest of the Nordic world. By placing a higher value on living assets (people and Nature) than on non-living capital assets this approach generates harmony rather than exploitation and conflict. Because Nordic people feel vested in the system and responsible for its success they are extraordinarily innovative and productive. That is why Nordic companies are regularly rated among the world’s most sustainable and profitable in their fields – even though their region holds less than half of one percent of the world’s population. Written in an accessible way for non-economists the book is ideal for readers interested in the benefits of biomimicry and methods of guiding democratic countries along a proven path of self-renewal. Economies That Mimic Life will also provide useful background for corporate leaders in scenario planning and strategic thinking. Knowing which way the political-economic wind is blowing will become increasingly important to corporate survival. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367625993

Economies under OccupationThe hegemony of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War II Nazi Germany and Japan occupied huge areas at least for some period during World War II and those territories became integral parts of their war economies. The book focuses on the policies of World War II aggressors in occupied countries. The unbalanced economic and financial relations were defined by administrative control the implementation of institutions and a variety of military exploitation strategies. Plundering looting and requisitions were frequent aggressive acts but beyond these interventions by force specific institutions were created to gain control over the occupied economies as a whole. An appropriate institutional setting was also crucial to give incentives to the companies in the occupied countries to produce munitions for the aggressors. The book explains the main fields of war exploitation (organisation and control war financing and workforce recruitment). It substantiates these aspects in case studies of occupied countries and gives examples of the business policy of multinational companies under war conditions. The book also provides an account of differences and similarities of the two occupation systems. Economies under Occupation will interest researchers specialising in the history of economic thought as well as in economic theory and philosophy. It will also engage readers concerned with regional European and Japanese studies and imperial histories. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138067011

Economization of EducationHuman Capital Global Corporations Skills-Based Schooling In this timely cogent analysis of trends and powerful forces shaping global educational policy today Joel Spring focuses on how economization is making economic growth and increased productivity the main goals of schools and the ways these goals are achieved—including measuring educational policies by their costs and economic benefits shaping family life to ensure productive workers and high-achieving students introducing entrepreneurship education into curricula from preschool through higher education and increasing the involvement of economists in educational policy analysis. Close attention is given to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) the World Bank the World Economic Forum and multinational corporations which as advocates of economization want schools to focus on teaching hard and soft skills needed by the global labor market. Economization raises questions about the effects of economically driven agendas for schools: Will education policies advocated by global organizations and multinational businesses corporatize and standardize human personalities and families? What type of global worker is being sought by global organizations and multinational corporations? What education programs are supported to educate the ideal global worker? What is the ideal family life for economic growth and development? Detailing and analyzing the politics and motivations driving economization the book concludes with an assessment of the impacts of the confluence of business interests economic theories governments and educators.

Economy Emotion and Ethics in Chinese CinemaGlobalization on Speed The First and Second Comings of capitalism are conceptual shorthands used to capture the radical changes in global geopolitics from the Opium War to the end of the Cold War and beyond. Centring the role of capitalism in the Chinese everyday the framework can be employed to comprehend contemporary Chinese culture in general and as in this study Chinese cinema in particular. This book investigates major Chinese-language films from mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong in order to unpack a hyper-compressed capitalist modernity with distinctive Chinese characteristics. As a dialogue between the film genre as a mediation of microscopic social life and the narrative of economic development as a macroscopic political abstraction it engages the two otherwise remotely related worlds illustrating how the State and the Subject are reconstituted cinematically in late capitalism.

Economy Work and EducationCritical Connections Economy Work and Education: Critical Connections addresses effects of neoliberal capitalism in particular regard to work and education. The book elaborates key aspects and problems of generalized policy models of knowledge-based economies and learning societies in contexts of liberalized firm action accelerated competitiveness and labor market flexibility. It discusses limits and paradoxes of higher skilled knowledge-based economies which include significant disparities in labor market absorption of higher level skills a deterioration of qualitative conditions of work and a re-subordination of workers. This volume provides a research-intensive crossing of these fields to contribute a closer disciplinary and scholarly dialogue between interested thinkers across fields who too often must labor and converse apart. It offers the vantage point afforded by traversing old boundaries and exploring concerns shared by many scholars and researchers in international circles in pursuit of social and cultural innovation in the governance of work and education and advancing wider social debate Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138203150

Economy and Architecture Economy and Architecture addresses a timely critical and much-debated topic in both its historical and contemporary dimensions. From the Apple Store in New York City to the street markets of the Pan American Highway; from commercial Dubai to the public schools of Australia this book takes a critical look at contemporary architecture from across the globe whilst extending its range back in history as far as the Homeric epics of ancient Greece. The book addresses the challenges of practicing architecture within the strictures of contemporary economies grounded on the fundamental definition of ‘economy’ as the well managed household – derived from the Greek oikonomia – oikos (house) and nemein (manage). The diverse enquiries of the study are structured around the following key questions: How do we define our economies? How are the values of architecture negotiated among the various actors involved? How do we manage the production of a good architecture within any particular system? How does political economy frame and influence architecture? The majority of examples are taken from current or recent architectural practice; historical examples which include John Evelyn’s villa Blenheim Palace John Ruskin’s Venice and early twentieth century Paris place the debates within an extended critical perspective.

Economy and Demographic Profile of Urban Rajasthan (Eighteenth-Nineteenth Centuries) The volume deals with the inter-relations between agricultural production agrarian trade markets towns and population of urban Rajasthan in the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries. This study also displays that how the higher receipts from sair-jihat (non-agrarian taxes) in various areas of Rajasthan worked in the evolution of agrarian markets into qasbas. On the same line the volume shows the fall in industrial activity in the nineteenth century which broadly corresponds with the theory of de-industrialization and de-urbanization.

Economy and Society in Early Modern EuropeEssays from Annales In 1929 two French historians Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch founded Annales a historical journal which rapidly became one of the most influential in the world. They believed that economic history social history and the history of ideas were as important as political history and that historians should not be narrow specialists but should learn from their colleagues in the social sciences. Two of the most distinguished French members of the Annales school are represented in this volume - Fernand Braudel and Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie - the core of which is the debate on the Price Revolution of the sixteenth century dealt with by Cipolla Chabert Hoszowski and Verlinden. Within the volume all the contributions are oriented towards Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and all are concerned with long-term changes and with the relation between economic growth and social change. It includes articles on the European movement of expansion discussed by Malowist and the activities of the Hungarian nobles as entrepreneurs discussed by Pach and two articles on wider issues: Le Roy Ladurie on the history of climate and Braudel summing up the Annales programme on the relation between history and the social sciences. This classic text was first published in 1972.

Economy Hotels in ChinaA Glocalized Innovative Hospitality Sector While economy or budget hotels have been popular in western countries since the end of the Second World War they have only emerged as a sector in their own right in China since the mid-1990s. Indeed as a new service industry sector economy hotels in China demonstrate important characteristics which can be used to illustrate and help explain China’s current economic progress more generally. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the economy hotel sector in China. It covers macro-level social-cultural economic environmental geographic and development issues alongside micro-level consideration of the budget hotel companies’ innovative management and marketing procedures business expansion strategies general hotel management and operation issues as well as an analysis of some leading entrepreneurs in the sector and in-depth case studies examining the most successful economy hotel companies in China. Huang and Sun argue that the rapid development of budget hotels in China demonstrates how under the influence of globalisation Chinese businesses have become more innovative as they apply successful western business models to China. In turn they show that the China model is fundamentally different in terms of its driving force which lies purely in its domestic travel market fuelled by China's continued economic growth. There is therefore much to explore about both China’s market situation and business practices in the economy hotel sector and this book makes an important contribution to our understanding of China’s new business environment. Based on extensive fieldwork and investigation Economy Hotels in China will be welcomed by students and scholars of tourism hospitality business studies and Chinese studies but it will also appeal to practitioners of business management in these sectors who are interested in China’s development and business opportunities in China.

EconomyCritical Essays in Human Geography Economic geographers have always argued that space is key to understanding the economy that the processes of economic growth and development do not occur uniformly across geographic space but rather differ in degree and form as between different nations regions cities and localities with major implications for the geographies of wealth and welfare. This was true in the industrial phase of global capitalism and is no less true in the contemporary era of post-industrial knowledge-driven global capitalism. Indeed the marked changes occurring in the structure and operation of the economy in the sources of wealth creation in the organisation of the firm in the nature of work in the boundaries between market and state and in the regulation of the socio-economy have stimulated an unprecedented wave of theoretical conceptual and empirical enquiry by economic geographers. Even economists who traditionally have viewed the economy in non-spatial terms as existing on the head of the proverbial pin are increasingly recognising the importance of space place and location to understanding economic growth technological innovation competitiveness and globalisation. This collection of previously published work though containing but a fraction of the huge explosion in research and publication that has occurred over the past two decades seeks to convey a sense of this exciting phase in the intellectual development of the discipline and its importance in grasping the spatialities of contemporary economic life.

Ecophilosophy in a World of CrisisCritical realism and the Nordic Contributions   Building on its origins at a seminar in Oslo organized by two of the editors this book combines classic texts of Nordic ecophilosophy and the original contributions of those influenced by this tradition to　 present the view that critical realism is indeed a worthy intellectual tradition to carry forward and further develop the work of the founders of Nordic ecophilosophy. It was clear at the seminar that there was a promising convergence of interests and themes in the two approaches; while at the same time within the Nordic ecophilosophical tradition there was appreciation of the capacity of critical realism with its provision　 of a robust philosophical ontology and generation of totalizing immanent critiques of Western philosophy to provide an expansive and secure home for the development of ecophilosophical work generally. If there is a single overarching theme of critical realist philosophy it surely must be that of the unity of theory and practice which Bhaskar following Hegel has also called "seriousness". This makes the applicability relevance and actionability of critical realism key considerations for critical realists. There can be no doubt that this concern was shared fully by the Nordic ecophilosophers; and this quality of　 "seriousness" is a striking feature of the Nordic contributions presented in this book.

Ecophysiology of Vascular Halophytes Ecophysiology of Vascular Halophytes provides a useful update to existing literature describing the ecophysiological responses of vascular halophytes to environmental stresses present in saline habitats. The success of species growing in these extreme environments is related to a number of adaptations including the timing of phenological events phenotypic plasticity and genetic selection for specific ecophysiological responses at different stages of development. Factors discussed that influence the growth and distribution of halophytes include seed germination salinity stress salt stimulation flooding ion content nitrogen plant water status growth regulators photosynthesis and genecology. The book also discusses the effects of both interspecific and intraspecific competition on the growth and survival of halophytes. Researchers and students of stress ecology as well as agricultural research organizations will find a tremendous store of information in this volume.

Ecopolitical HomelessnessDefining place in an unsettled world While our world is characterized by mobility global interactions and increasing knowledge we are facing serious challenges regarding the knowledge of the places around us. We understand and navigate our surroundings by relying on advanced technologies. Yet a truly knowledgeable relationship to the places where we live and visit is lacking. This book proposes that we are utterly lost and that the loss of a sense of place has contributed to different crises such as the environmental crisis the immigration crisis and poverty. With a rising number of environmental political and economic displacements the topic of place becomes more and more relevant and philosophy has to take up this topic in more serious ways than it has done so far. To counteract this problem the book provides suggestions for how to think differently both about ourselves our relationship to other people and to the places around us. It ends with a suggestion of how to understand ourselves in an eco-political community one of humans and other living beings as well as inanimate objects. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students of environmental ethics and philosophy as well as those interested in the environmental humanities more generally.

EcoregionalismAnalyzing Regional Environmental Agreements and Processes This book provides a comprehensive understanding of environmental regionalism at the international level analyzing the concept and identifying recurring patterns from six in-depth case studies. While ecoregions or environmental regions are defined on ecological boundaries rather than administrative criteria ecoregionalism is the idea that regional dynamics should cluster around ecoregions while ecoregionalization is the tendency of regional dynamics to cluster around ecoregions. Focusing on the international level this book presents six cases of ecoregional processes from around the world and the regional environmental agreements: two are terrestrial the Alps and the Andes; two are marine the Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic Sea; two are related to freshwater ecosystems: the Amu Darya in Central Asia and the Great Lakes in North America. The book analyzes both ecoregional processes focused on the environment as well as intersectoral ecoregional processes. The case studies are analyzed based on the ecoregional governance framework developed by the author for this book. Despite the diversity of context the similarity of the governance system of the six cases is striking. Several recurring patterns have been identified which may also extend to the subnational level. They are not design principles but may be taken into consideration for the design or redesign of current and future regional environmental agreements and processes. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental politics natural resource management spatial planning and international relations.

Eco-service DevelopmentReinventing Supply and Demand in the European Union Sustainable development will not be possible without fundamental improvements in resource productivity and energy efficiency the adaptation of material flows into natural cycles as well as a radical change in production and consumption patterns. In essence what is required is not only an ecological approach to product design but also new marketing and consumption patterns for products that can satisfy our needs in a more environmentally sound way.In recent years there has been growing interest in the possibilities of eco-services to achieve some of these aims. Ecologically oriented leasing renting pooling and sharing where the emphasis is placed on the sale of a product's use rather than on the product itself offer great possibilities for innovation and environmental impact reduction. At the same time there are opportunities to create new commercial enterprises produce added value to production and distribution functions and therefore create jobs. Up until now however there has been little research about the state of the art in eco-services how new services can be developed what the attitudes of consumers are to services rather than products and what the consequences of such a structural adjustment would be for firms. Eco-service Development addresses this lack of research first by providing a comprehensive inventory and analysis of current eco-services in four European countries: Germany Austria the Netherlands and Spain. It then systematically explores the options open to market participants the potential for environmental impact reduction potential barriers to eco-services (such as consumer and producer resistance) and finally with what political and legal instruments ecologically oriented services can best be promoted. The book analyzes eight consumer sectors – washing cleaning cooking entertainment gardening do-it-yourself mobility and leisure time – from the point of view of both supply and demand and highlights the optimization potential and development perspectives for commercial new use eco-service concepts. This book is the most comprehensive analysis yet published of how eco-services are being implemented and how they could best be encouraged and contains valuable lessons for policy-makers interested businesses and all those in the academic community searching for ways to dematerialize the economy.

Ecosystem Function in SavannasMeasurement and Modeling at Landscape to Global Scales Fascinating and diverse savanna ecosystems support a combination of pastoral and agropastoral communities alongside wild and domestic herbivores that can be found nowhere else. This diversity has made the study of these areas problematic. Ecosystem Function in Savannas: Measurement and Modeling at Landscape to Global Scales addresses some of the discontinuities in the treatment of savannas by the scientific community and documents a range of measurements methods technologies applications and modeling approaches. Based on contributions from leading authorities and experts on savanna systems worldwide the book describes the global savanna biome in terms of its broad ecological properties temporal dynamics disturbance levels and human dimensions. The text examines carbon water energy and trace gas fluxes for major global savanna regions. It looks at quantitative surface properties of savannas that can be retrieved using remote sensing and numerical approaches used to explore savanna dynamics. The authors also discuss how savanna modeling and measurement approaches might be unified.By presenting this confluence of information in a single resource the book provides a platform for examining synergies connections integrative opportunities and complementarities among approaches and data sources. This information can then be used to harmonize measurement and modeling methods among scales and across disciplinary boundaries. The book builds a bridge across the markedly different perspectives on savannas by which ecologists biogeochemists remote sensors geographers anthropologists and modelers approach their science.

Ecosystem Goods and Services from Plantation Forests Plantation forests often have a negative image. They are typically assumed to be poor substitutes for natural forests particularly in terms of biodiversity conservation carbon storage provision of clean drinking water and other non-timber goods and services. Often they are monocultures that do not appear to invite people for recreation and other direct uses. Yet as this book clearly shows they can play a vital role in the provision of ecosystem services when compared to agriculture and other forms of land use or when natural forests have been degraded. This is the first book to examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by plantation forests including soil water and biodiversity conservation as well as carbon sequestration and the provision of local livelihoods. The authors show that if we require a higher provision of ecosystem goods and services from both temperate and tropical plantations new approaches to their management are required. These include policies methods for valuing the services the practices of small landholders landscape approaches to optimise delivery of goods and services and technical issues about how to achieve suitable solutions at the scale of forest stands. While providing original theoretical insights the book also gives guidance for plantation managers policy-makers conservation practitioners and community advocates who seek to promote or strengthen the multiple-use of forest plantations for improved benefits for society.

Ecosystem Planning in FloridaSolving Regional Problems through Local Decision-making While ecosystem management requires looking beyond specific jurisdiction and focusing on broad spatial scales most planning decisions particularly in the USA are made at local level. By looking at land-use planning in Florida this volume recognizes the need for planners and resource managers to address ecosystem problems at local and community levels. The factors causing ecosystem decline such as rapid urban development and habitat fragmentation occur at the local level and are generated by local land use policies. This book argues that understanding how local jurisdictions can capture and implement the principles of managing natural systems will lead to more sustainable levels of environmental planning in the future.

Ecosystem Responses to Mercury ContaminationIndicators of Change As rising levels of mercury in the environment pose an increasing threat of toxicity to humans and wildlife several laws already call for industries to reduce mercury emissions at the source. Ecosystem Responses to Mercury Contamination: Indicators of Change outlines the infrastructure and methods needed to measure monitor and regulate the concentration of mercury present in the environment. This book draws on the knowledge of forty international experts in the fields of atmospheric transport and deposition mercury cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and mercury bioaccumulation in aquatic foodwebs and wildlife. The authors propose a set of indicators to use as a measure of changing mercury concentrations in the environment. Next they recommend a monitoring strategy and offer guidance for determining systematic changes in concentration. Then the authors examine additional monitoring strategies to relate observed changes in concentration to regulatory controls on mercury emissions. The final chapter provides an integrated framework for establishing a national-scale program to monitor mercury concentrations in the environment. Ecosystem Responses to Mercury Contamination: Indicators of Change contains the information needed to design a large-scale monitoring program for mercury and to use the concentration data to create enforce and evaluate the progress of initiatives aimed at reducing mercury emissions.

Ecosystem Services and Global Trade of Natural ResourcesEcology Economics and Policies The utilization of natural resources to satisfy worldwide growing consumption of goods and services has severe ecological consequences. Aside from the projected doubling of food consumption in the next fifty years the growing trade of biofuels and other commodities is a global challenge as the economic activities in the primary sector (i.e. mining fisheries aquaculture forestry and agriculture) can damage biodiversity and ecosystem services. This should be taken into account in the decision-making affecting the global value chains linking consumer retailer processor and producer in the North and the South. To cover the topic of ecosystem services and global trade this book is organized into four major parts. Part 1 gives the theoretical framework from an ecological economic and political perspectives. Part 2 explores how internationally traded biophysical commodities from agriculture forestry and fisheries translates into a virtual flow of land freshwater and marine ecosystems. Part 3 describes how two widely used accounting tools (i.e. Life Cycle Assessment and Green National Accounts) deal with international aspects of ecosystem services and Part 4 shows how instruments like labelling bans or payments for ecosystem services in the private and public sector can influence trade patterns and the management of ecosystem services. This collection is a valuable contribution to the global change science dealing with ecosystem services. It illustrates the consequences of international trade on global ecosystem services and provides an overview of accounting tools and of market-based policy instruments to address negative and positive externalities. The book is certainly innovative because it brings together research findings from distinct disciplines especially Industrial Ecology and Ecosystem Sciences as well as Environmental Economics and Political Science.

Ecosystem Services and Poverty Alleviation (OPEN ACCESS)Trade-offs and Governance Understanding how to sustain the services that ecosystems provide in support of human wellbeing is an active and growing research area. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of current thinking on the links between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation. In part it showcases the key findings of the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) programme which has funded over 120 research projects in more than 50 countries since 2010. ESPA’s goal is to ensure that ecosystems are being sustainably managed in a way that contributes to poverty alleviation as well as to inclusive and sustainable growth. As governments across the world map how they will achieve the 17 ambitious Sustainable Development Goals most of which have poverty alleviation wellbeing and sustainable environmental management at their heart ESPA’s findings have never been more timely and relevant. The book synthesises the headline messages and compelling evidence to address the questions at the heart of ecosystems and wellbeing research. The authors all leading specialists address the evolving framings and contexts for the work review the impacts of ongoing drivers of change present new ways to achieve sustainable wellbeing equity diversity and resilience and evaluate the potential contributions from conservation projects payment schemes and novel governance approaches across scales from local to national and international. The cross-cutting thematic chapters challenge conventional wisdom in some areas and validate new methods and approaches for sustainable development in others.

Ecosystem Services from Agriculture and AgroforestryMeasurement and Payment Agricultural systems are no longer evaluated solely on the basis of the food they provide but also on their capacity to limit impacts on the environment such as soil conservation water quality and biodiversity conservation as well as their contribution to mitigating and adapting to climate change. In order to cope with these multiple service functions they must internalize the costs and benefits of their environmental impact. Payments for ecosystem services are hoped to encourage and promote sustainable practices via financial incentives. The authors show that while the principle is straightforward the practice is much more complicated. Whereas scenic beauty and protection of water sources provide benefits to the local population carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation can be considered international public goods rendering potential payment schemes more complex. Few examples exist where national or international bodies have been able to set up viable mechanisms that compensate agricultural systems for the environmental services they provide. However this book provides several examples of successful programs and aims to transfer them to other regions of the world. The authors show that a product can be sold if it is clearly quantified there exists a means to determine the service's values and there is a willing buyer. The first two sections of the book present methodological issues related to the quantification and marketing of ecosystem services from agriculture including agroforestry. The third and final section presents case studies of practical payments for ecosystem services and experiences in Central and South America and draws some lessons learnt for effective and sustainable development of ecosystem services compensation mechanisms.

Ecosystem ServicesKey Issues The concept of ecosystem services has emerged in recent years as one of the most powerful guiding principles for ecology biodiversity conservation and the management of natural resources. It provides the basis of assessing the multiple values and services that ecosystems can provide to humankind including such diverse issues as carbon sequestration flood control crop pollination and aesthetic and cultural services. This introductory textbook sets out the key aspects of ecosystem services. The book details the historical roots of ecosystem services in the second half of the twentieth century and through initiatives such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. It shows how ecosystem goods and services can be categorised and valued in economic as well as non-monetary terms while also highlighting some of the difficulties and limitations of valuation techniques. The author describes how themes such as systems thinking social-ecological resilience and natural capital relate to ecosystem services and how these can contribute to more sustainable and equitable development. The book assumes limited prior knowledge and is aimed at a wide interdisciplinary audience of students across the social environmental and life sciences. It is illustrated by a wide range of international case studies and includes learning objectives and guidance for further reading. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138692725

Ecosystems and Integrated Water Resources Management in South Asia This book provides an ecosystem perspective in addressing the water resource management issues in the South Asian region. It argues that aspects such as sources of water its distribution and users; land–water interrelations; drivers of change such as laws policies and institutions; management of issues and technologies related to water supply; institutional set-up; economic instruments such as pricing taxes subsidies; and economics of ecosystem services are crucial. Climate changes melting of glaciers and polar ice caps rising sea level and the increased frequency of extreme events have to be factored into integrated management of water resources. This book addresses some of these major issues related to aquatic ecosystems and focuses on three major aspects: (a) concepts related to ecosystems ecosystem services and their linkages with water; (b) human impacts on ecosystems particularly the aquatic ecosystems and their assessment; and (c) the management including policy governance and economics. Comprising new theories research and case studies the book will be useful those concerned with water resource management â€“ professionals students and researchers.

Ecotaxation Ecotaxation covers two distinct ideas. To date it has largely been associated with the 'polluter pays' principle in the form of correctional charges imposed on activities which have a demonstrably damaging effect on the quality of life or the environment. The other involves a more ambitious policy shift aiming to put taxation onto a different basis away from income and labour and onto resource-depleting and environmentally damaging activities. By going further and directing the additional revenue towards environmentally supportive and socially improving ends it can be part of the fiscal basis for sustainable development. This volume explores the history of both ideas but with more emphasis on the wider-ranging policy alternatives that ecotaxation represents. The contributors look at the mixed records of the correctional economic instruments which have been introduced suggesting that unless they are integrated into a more comprehensive package of reforms they are not likely to have much effect on the direction of an already unsustainable economy. On the other hand taxation has the potential not only to stimulate sustainable forms of economic activity but also by lowering the costs of work and employment to create jobs and greater social justice. At a time when governments' room for manoeuvre is being more and more restricted by conflicting social economic and environmental commitments and pressures revenue-neutral ecotaxation has a crucial role to play in reconciling those objectives and putting policy onto a new and lasting footing.

Ecotourism The new fifth edition of Ecotourism focuses on an array of economic social and ecological inconsistencies that continue to plague ecotourism in theory and practice and examines the sector in reference to other related forms of tourism impacts conservation sustainability education and interpretation policy and governance and the ethical imperative of ecotourism as these apply to the world’s greenest form of tourism. Building on the success of prior editions the text has been revised throughout to incorporate recent research including ecotourism taking place in under-represented world regions. It includes new case studies on important themes in research and practice as well as learning objectives in each chapter. David Fennell provides an authoritative and comprehensive review of the most important issues including climate change and UN Sustainable Development Goals. Ecotourism continues to be embraced as the antithesis of mass tourism because of its promise of achieving sustainability through conservation mindedness community development education and learning and the promotion of nature-based activities that are sensitive to both ecological and social systems. The book debates to what extent this promise has been realised. An essential reference for those interested in ecotourism the book is accessible to students but retains the depth required for use by researchers and practitioners in the field. This book will be of interest to students across a range of disciplines including geography economics business ethics biology and environmental studies.

Ecotourism NGOs and DevelopmentA Critical Analysis Ecotourism has emerged over the last twenty years not just as a market niche but also as a strategy for combining development with conservation in the developing world. Ecotourism NGOs and Development considers the basis for advocacy and argues that it is premised upon a very limited and limiting view of the potential for development. Jim Butcher examines the advocacy of tourism as sustainable development in a range of NGOs and within the general literature. The research reveals that in spite of the plethora of critical commentaries on the operation of ecotourism projects there is generally an uncritical take on the ideological basis of the projects. This book offers a timely critique of key assumptions underlying ecotourism's status as sustainable development arguing that ecotourism as development strategy ties the fate of some of the poorest people on the planet to localized environmental imperatives.

Ecotourism in Sub-Saharan AfricaThirty Years of Practice Since its first mention in the academic literature ecotourism has been endorsed by NGOs and governments as the most environmentally sound and locally beneficial method of tourist development. Over the last thirty years sub-Saharan Africa has adopted ecotourism as the primary focus for tourism development; research into this has demonstrated mixed results. In this publication we seek to explore the actual outcomes for African countries that have developed their tourism policy around the principals and values of ecotourism. The sheer scope and magnitude of the task means that a complete evaluation of ecotourism in Africa is impossible. Instead included here are spot assessments of various aspects of ecotourism related to conservation policy development environment governance community and indigenous peoples in southern Africa. The studies cover a wide array of countries including Botswana Kenya Tanzania Uganda Ghana Zimbabwe and South Africa. Though this is only the beginning of a needed long term evaluation of the positives and negatives of ecotourism it provides a starting point from which to move forward. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ecotourism. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367220211

Ecotoxicology of Explosives Managing sites contaminated with munitions constituents is an international challenge. Although the choice of approach and the use of Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) tools may vary from country to country the assurance of quality and the direction of ecotoxicological research are universally recognized as shared concerns. Drawing on a multidisciplinary team of contributors Ecotoxicology of Explosives provides comprehenisve and critical reviews available to date on fate transport and effects of explosives. The book delineates the state of the science of the ecotoxicology of explosives past present and recently developed. It reviews the accessible fate and ecotoxicological data for energetic materials (EMs) and the methods for their development. The chapters characterize the fate of explosives in the environment then provide information on their ecological effects in key environmental media including aquatic sedimentary and terrestrial habitats. The book also discusses approaches for assembling these lines of evidence for risk assessment purposes. The chapter authors have critically examined the peer-reviewed literature to identify and prioritize the knowledge gaps and to recommend future areas of research. The editors include a review of the genotoxic effects of the EMs and the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity of these chemicals. They also discuss the transport transformation and degradation pathways of these chemicals in the environment that underlie the potential hazardous impact and bioaccumulation of EMs in different terrestrial and aquatic ecologiocal receptors. This information translates into practical applications for the environmental risk assessment of EM-contaminated sites and into recommendations for the sustainable use of defense installations.

EcotoxicologyEffects of Pollutants on the Natural Environment Chemical Warfare in Nature Pesticides and other industrial chemicals are at the root of many pollution problems. In view of the toxic effects of industrial chemicals found in the water soil and air Ecotoxicology: Effects of Pollutants on the Natural Environment considers the impact of chemicals on the environment from a wider perspective: the evolution of plant toxins—and defense mechanisms against them in animals as a consequence of plant–animal warfare. Comparisons are made between this and the development of resistance by insects towards man-made insecticides. Pesticides and Drugs The text focuses particularly on problems posed by pesticides and to a lesser extent by drugs. This material specifically addresses the problems that pesticides pose and explores the development of resistance to them. It focuses on the history of pesticides pesticide selectivity between target species and beneficial organisms and types of pesticides. It discusses mandatory ecotoxicity testing as part of the process of risk assessment of environmental chemicals. The text considers the effects of pollutants at the population level with respect to changes in numbers and genetic composition. It factors in the sublethal effects of pollutants on population levels and cites an increase in the concentration of persistent pollutants in natural food chains as a cause of the decline of certain vertebrate predators. Overall the text: • Considers plant toxins as models for pesticides • Emphasizes principles illustrated with practical examples • Includes a glossary of terms Divided into three sections this text uses a variety of examples and case studies to examine the effects of pollutants—including naturally occurring ones—on natural processes. It guides the reader through the basic issues and principles; outlines the science of ecotoxicology which is the study of the effects of chemicals upon ecosystems; and introduces various strategies for pollution control.

Eco-Trauma Cinema Film has taken a powerful position alongside the global environmental movement from didactic documentaries to the fantasy pleasures of commercial franchises. This book investigates in particular film’s complex role in representing ecological traumas. Eco-trauma cinema represents the harm we as humans inflict upon our natural surroundings or the injuries we sustain from nature in its unforgiving iterations. The term encompasses both circumstances because these seemingly distinct instances of ecological harm are often related and even symbiotic: the traumas we perpetuate in an ecosystem through pollution and unsustainable resource management inevitably return to harm us. Contributors to this volume engage with eco-trauma cinema in its three general forms: accounts of people who are traumatized by the natural world narratives that represent people or social processes which traumatize the environment or its species and stories that depict the aftermath of ecological catastrophe. The films they examine represent a central challenge of our age: to overcome our disavowal of environmental crises to reflect on the unsavoury forces reshaping the planet's ecosystems and to restructure the mechanisms responsible for the state of the earth.

Ecstasy and the Rise of the Chemical Generation This book about ecstacy users' lives is based on one of the biggest government-funded projects ever undertaken and gives voice to the chemical generation for the first time. In the UK where the study was conducted over fifty per cent of young people use drugs a quarter of them regularly. The people in this book are ordinary decent family-loving people with normal lives normal problems and normal aspirations. Through their own words we hear how they first started using ecstasy how they use it in different ways why clubbing and raving are so important how good sex is on ecstasy how they chill out how they come down what problems they encountered and why they quit.This path-breaking book ends by trying to answer the questions on the lips of every member of the chemical generation: what are the long-term effects of ecstasy? Because we can't answer them the authors claim we are failing in our duty to our children: telling them not to take ecstasy is alienating and pointless.

Ecstatic Sound'Music and Individuality in the Work of Thomas Hardy This book studies the ways Hardy writes about music and argues that this focus allows for a close and varied investigation of the affective dimensions of his poetry and fiction and his recurrent preoccupations with time community and love. Throughout his work Hardy associates music with moments of individual expression and relatedness. For him music provokes a response to life that is inseparable from what gives life value as well as being incompatible with his increasingly conscious vision of personal and social limitation. The first two chapters trace how this ironic disjunction is evident in the novels and the tales while exploring in detail how they represent and evoke the spiritual and emotional transports of musical experience. In a corresponding way the third and fourth chapters concentrate on how within the poetry music works as a vehicle of inspiration and memory recurrently surprising the conscious self with intimations of other potentials of expression. In the fifth chapter the focus falls on Hardy's own philosophical reading and thus on his notebooks and letters so as to revisit in an altered context many of the issues that have been opened up by the book's emphasis on his literary representations of musical experience-issues of individuality of unconscious and bodily experience of literary language. Finally although the book does incorporate some biographical detail about Thomas Hardy's lifelong passion for playing and collecting music it predominantly works through close reading while also drawing at points on literary theoretical texts where these offer ways of articulating the broad questions of literary convention and representation that arise.

Edge of EmpireThe British Political Officer and Tribal Administration on the North-West Frontier 1877–1947 Britain's often rather ad hoc approach to colonial expansion in the nineteenth century resulted in a variety of imaginative solutions designed to exert control over an increasingly diverse number of territories. One such instrument of government was the political officer. Created initially by the East India Company to manage relations with the princely rulers of the Indian States political offers developed into a mechanism by which the government could manage its remoter territories through relations with local power brokers; the policy of 'indirect rule'. By the beginning of the twentieth century political officers were providing a low-key affordable method of exercising British control over 'native' populations throughout the empire from India to Africa Asia to Middle East. In this study the role of the political officer on the Western Frontier of India between 1877-1947 is examined in detail providing an account of the personalities and mechanisms of colonial influence/tribal control in what remains one of the most unstable regions in the world today. It charts the successes failures dangers and attractions of a system of power by proxy and examines how working alone in one of the most dangerous and lawless corners of the Empire political officers strove to implement the Crown's policies across the North-West Frontier and Baluchistan through a mixture of conflict and collaboration with indigenous tribal society. In charting their progress the book provides a degree of historical context for those engaging in ambitious military operations in the same region seeking to increasingly rely on the support of tribal chiefs warlords and former enemies in order for new administrations to function. As such this book provides not only a fascinating account of key historical events in Anglo-Indian colonial history but also provides a telling insight and background into an increasingly seductive aspect of contemporary political and military strategy.

Edges of Global JusticeThe World Social Forum and Its 'Others' This book analyzes the World Social Forum (WSF) in a context of crisis and transition in the history of Western capitalist modernity. Based on ten years of fieldwork on three continents this book treats social movements as knowledge producers. It pays attention to what movements are doing and saying on the terrain of the WSF over time and from place to place and to how they theorize its significance. Framed by the Latin American modernity-coloniality perspective the book critically engages with discourses of global civil society autonomism and transnational feminism toward a reading of the WSF through the lens of ‘colonial difference’. Each chapter outlines a set of contestations and contributions with relevance beyond debates about the WSF. It will be of strong interest to students and scholars of social movement studies; international politics; post-colonial studies; gender studies; sociology; political theory and social work.

Edging Women OutVictorian Novelists Publishers and Social Change Before about 1840 there was little prestige attached to the writing of novels and most English novelists were women. By the turn of the twentieth century "men of letters" acclaimed novels as a form of great literature and most critically successful novelists were men. In the book sociologist Gaye Tuchman examines how men succeeded in redefining a form of culture and in invading a white-collar occupation previously practiced mostly by women. Tuchman documents how men gradually supplanted women as novelists once novel-writing was perceived as potentially profitable in part because of changes in the system of publishing and rewarding authors. Drawing on unusual data ranging from the archives of Macmillan and company (London) to an analysis of the lives and accomplishments of authors listed in the Dictionary of National Biography she shows that rising literacy and the centralization of the publishing industry in London after 1840 increased literary opportunities and fostered men’s success as novelists. Men redefined the nature of a good novel and applied a double standard in critically evaluating literary works by men and by women. They also received better contracts than women for novels of equivalent quality and sales. They were able to accomplish this says Tuchman because they were to a large extent the culture brokers – the publishers publishers’ readers and reviewers of an elite art form. Both a sociological study of occupational gender transformation and a historical study of writing and publishing this book will be a rich resource for students of the sociology of culture literary criticism and women’s studies.

Endothelial dysfunction linked to an imbalance in the synthesis and/or release of contracting and relaxing factors is often evoked to explain the initiation of the cardiovascular pathology or its development and perpetuation. Two decades ago when nitric oxide was demonstrated to mediate endothelium-dependent relaxations the vascular world seemed convinced that nitric oxide was the ultimate and sole explanation for such relaxations. However not everyone agreed.EDHF: The Complete Story is the work of two leading researchers who did not accept that simple conclusion but instead continued to search along with others for a deeper understanding of the ways in which endothelial cells communicate with the underlying smooth muscle to signal it to hyperpolarize.

Edible Films and CoatingsFundamentals and Applications The search for better strategies to preserve foods with minimal changes during processing has been of great interest in recent decades. Traditionally edible films and coatings have been used as a partial barrier to moisture oxygen and carbon dioxide through selective permeability to gases as well as improving mechanical handling properties. The advances in this area have been breathtaking and in fact their implementation in the industry is already a reality. Even so there are still new developments in various fields and from various perspectives worth reporting. Edible Films and Coatings: Fundamentals and Applications discusses the newest generation of edible films and coatings that are being especially designed to allow the incorporation and/or controlled release of specific additives by means of nanoencapsulation layer-by-layer assembly and other promising technologies. Covering the latest novelties in research conducted in the field of edible packaging it considers state-of-the-art innovations in coatings and films; novel applications particularly in the design of gourmet foods; new advances in the incorporation of bioactive compounds; and potential applications in agronomy an as yet little explored area which could provide considerable advances in the preservation and quality of foods in the field.

Edible Identities: Food as Cultural Heritage Food - its cultivation preparation and communal consumption - has long been considered a form of cultural heritage. A dynamic living product food creates social bonds as it simultaneously marks off and maintains cultural difference. In bringing together anthropologists historians and other scholars of food and heritage this volume closely examines the ways in which the cultivation preparation and consumption of food is used to create identity claims of 'cultural heritage' on local regional national and international scales. Contributors explore a range of themes including how food is used to mark insiders and outsiders within an ethnic group; how the same food's meanings change within a particular society based on class gender or taste; and how traditions are 'invented' for the revitalization of a community during periods of cultural pressure. Featuring case studies from Europe Asia and the Americas this timely volume also addresses the complex processes of classifying designating and valorizing food as 'terroir ' 'slow food ' or as intangible cultural heritage through UNESCO. By effectively analyzing food and foodways through the perspectives of critical heritage studies this collection productively brings two overlapping but frequently separate theoretical frameworks into conversation.

Edible StructuresThe Basic Science of What We Eat Nature converts molecules into edible structures most of which are then transformed into products in factories and kitchens. Tasty food structures enter our mouths and different sensations invade our bodies. By the time these structures reach our cells they have been broken back down into molecules that serve as fuel and raw materials for our bodies. Drawing from the physical and engineering sciences food technology nutrition and gastronomy Edible Structures: The Basic Science of What We Eat examines the importance of food structures—the supramolecular assemblies and matrices that are created by nature and when we cook—rather than the basic chemical compounds that are the more traditional focus of study. The central objectives of this book are to address the pressing food trends of this century including: Growing evidence that flavorful food structures are important for the delivery of the nutritious and healthful food molecules from which they are made A need to understand and control how food structures are created and presented as products that respond to nutritional requirements Opportunities to design certain foods to better suit the needs of modern lifestyles The empowerment of consumers and the appearance of the axis that connects the food we eat with our brain digestive system and the cells in our body The separation between a knowledgeable gourmet "elite" and the rest of the population who simply want to eat quick meals as cheaply as possible Entertaining and informative Edible Structures: The Basic Science of What We Eat uses scientific yet understandable terms throughout to facilitate the communication between experts and the educated public especially those who are curious love to cook and innovate in the kitchen and/or want to enjoy good food. The language and concepts presented in this book give the reader some access to specialized texts and scientific journals and above all to the best and most current information available on the Internet and other media.

Edith Wharton as Spatial Activist and Analyst Because she devoted much of her life to exploring the relationships that exist between people and their built environment Edith Wharton developed a set of philosophies that she expressed in many arenas including interior design architecture and landscaping. Her theories of space were practiced and materially executed in addition to being expressed in her writing. This book explores Wharton's theories of space in Newport Rhode Island during the Gilded Age when the town was transformed from a rustic seaport to a playground for the fabulously wealthy. The built environment played a pivotal role as social economic and personal conflicts were enacted among private and public spaces. As a cultural worker and as an author Wharton stood squarely in the middle of these conflicts and directly participated in them. Accordingly the book shows Wharton in a new light by exploring texts such as The Decoration of Houses and The House of Mirth as well as by examining the architecture and aesthetics of three of Wharton's primary homes.

Edith Wharton's Evolutionary ConceptionDarwinian Allegory in the Major Novels Edith Wharton's "Evolutionary Conception" investigates Edith Wharton's engagement with evolutionary theory in The House of Mirth The Custom of the Country and The Age of Innocence. The book also examines The Descent of Man The Fruit of the Tree Twilight Sleep and The Children to show that Wharton's interest in biology and sociology was central to the thematic and formal elements of her fiction. Ohler argues that Wharton depicts the complex interrelations of New York's gentry and socioeconomic elite from a perspective informed by the main concerns of evolutionary thought. Concentrating on her use of ideas she encountered in works by Darwin Herbert Spencer and T.H. Huxley his readings of Wharton's major novels demonstrate the literary configuration of scientific ideas she drew on and in some cases disputed. R.W.B. Lewis writes that Wharton 'was passionately addicted to scientific study': this book explores the ramifications of this fact for her fictional sociobiology. The book explores the ways in which Edith Wharton's scientific interests shaped her analysis of class affected the formal properties of her fiction and resulted in her negative valuation of social Darwinism.

Editing Music in Early Modern Germany Editing Music in Early Modern Germany argues that editors played a critical role in the transmission and reception of Italian music outside Italy. Like their counterparts in the world of classical learning Renaissance music editors translated texts and reworked settings from Venetian publications adapting them to the needs of northern audiences. Their role is most evident in the emergence of the anthology as the primary vehicle for the distribution of madrigals outside Italy. As a publication type that depended upon the judicious selection and presentation of material the anthology showcased editorial work. Anthologies offer a valuable case study for examining the impact of editorial decision-making on the cultivation of particular styles genres authors and audiences. The book suggests that music editors defined the appropriation of Italian music through the same processes of adaptation transformation and domestication evident in the broader reception of Italy north of the Alps. Through these studies Susan Lewis Hammond's work reassesses the importance of northern Europe in the history of the madrigal and its printing. This book will be the first comprehensive study of editors as a distinct group within the network of printers publishers musicians and composers that brought the madrigal to northern audiences. The field of Renaissance music printing has a long and venerable scholarly tradition among musicologists and music bibliographers. This study will contribute to recent efforts to infuse these studies with new approaches to print culture that address histories of reading and listening patronage marketing transmission reception and their cultural and political consequences.

Editing Women's Writing 1670-1840 This edited volume is the first to reflect on the theory and practice of editing women’s writing of the 18th century. The list of contributors includes experts on the fiction drama poetry life-writing diaries and correspondence of familiar and lesser known women including Jane Austen Delarivier Manley Eliza Haywood and Mary Robinson. Contributions examine the demands of editing female authors more familiar to a wider readership such as Elizabeth Montagu Mary Robinson and Helen Maria Williams as well as the challenges and opportunities presented by the recovery of authors such as Sarah Green Charlotte Bury and Alicia LeFanu. The interpretative possibilities of editing works published anonymously and pseudonymously are considered across a range of genres. Collectively these discussions examine the interrelation of editing and textual criticism and show how new editions might transform understandings not only of the woman writer and women’s literary history but also of our own editorial practice.

Edmond Holmes and Progressive Education Although considered a figure of great importance and influence by his contemporaries Edmond Holmes has been consigned to relative obscurity in the progressive educational tradition. This book reinstates Holmes as a key figure in the history of progressive education both as a school inspector and educational thinker who was instrumental in forming a set of ideas and principles which continue to resonate in education today. Combining biographical detail and key critical analysis Edmond Holmes and Progressive Education brings together the key ideas and aspects of Holmes’ life and establishes his writings as amongst the most insightful ever produced by an educationalist. Throughout his inspectorial career Holmes scorned mechanical obedience in the classroom and was appalled by the inability of teachers to allow pupils to express themselves freely and imaginatively. His seminal publications positioned him at the vanguard of educational reforms. His work however was not exclusively educational and throughout his life Holmes published on religion philosophy poetry and literature subsuming his educational viewpoint into a much wider ‘philosophy of life’. His spiritual leanings and call for an improved education system which would draw out the potential for development from within the child inspired successive generations of progressive educators. In studying Edmond Holmes in detail this book makes an important contribution to current debates surrounding creativity and the curriculum in particular the need for alternative educational voices within the state system of regulation. This book will be key reading for postgraduate students and researchers who are interested in progressive education the history of education and educational policy and politics.

Edmond Jabes and the Hazard of Exile "For a man who no longer has a homeland writing becomes a place to live (Theodor Adorno). The Jewish writer Edmond Jabes born in Cairo in 1912 wrote explicitly from the perspective of exile once he arrived in France after the Suez crisis. However Jaron argues exile was a predominant theme even before Jabes left Egypt. He brings to light the author's associations with other francophone writers in Egypt especially those affiliated with the Surrealists but shows that metropolitan France exerted a greater pull. Drawing on unpublished archival and rare printed sources Jaron examines how Jabes opposed anti-Semitism during the 1930s and later placed the Shoah at the heart of his acclaimed ""Livres des Questions"" (1963-73)."

Edmund Burke Edmund Burke’s iconic stance against the French Revolution and its supposed Enlightenment inspiration has ensured his central role in debates about the nature of modernity and freedom. It has now been rendered even more complex by post-modern radicalism’s repudiation of the Enlightenment as repressive and its reason as illusionary. Not only did Burke’s own work cover a huge range - from aesthetics through history to constitutional politics and political theory - it has generated an enormous literature drawing on many disciplines as well as continuing to be recruited in a range of contemporary polemics. In Edmund Burke Iain Hampsher Monk presents a representative selection of articles and essays from the last 50 years of this scholarship. His introduction provides a brief biography and seeks to guide the reader through the chosen pieces as well as indicating its relationship to other and more substantial studies that form the critical heritage of this major figure.

Edmund Burke and the Natural Law Today the idea of natural law as the basic ingredient in moral legal and political thought presents a challenge not faced for almost two hundred years. On the surface there would appear to be little room in the contemporary world for a widespread belief in natural law. The basic philosophies of the opposition--the rationalism of the philosophes the utilitarianism of Bentham the materialism of Marx--appear to have made prior philosophies irrelevant. Yet these newer philosophies themselves have been overtaken by disillusionment born of conflicts between "might" and "right." Many thoughtful people who were loyal to secular belief have become dissatisfied with the lack of normative principles and have turned once more to natural law.This first book-length study of Edmund Burke and his philosophy originally published in 1958 explores this intellectual giant's relationship to and belief in the natural law. It has long been thought that Edmund Burke was an enemy of the natural law and was a proponent of conservative utilitarianism. Peter J. Stanlis shows that on the contrary Burke was one of the most eloquent and profound defenders of natural law morality and politics in Western civilization. A philosopher in the classical tradition of Aristotle and Cicero and in the Scholastic tradition of Aquinas Burke appealed to natural law in the political problems he encountered in American Irish Indian and British affairs and in reaction to the French Revolution.This book is as relevant today as it was when it was first published and will be mandatory reading for students of philosophy political science law and history.

Edmund Burke and the Revolt Against the Eighteenth CenturyA Study of the Political and Social Thinking of Burke Wordsworth Coleridge and Southey This edition first published in 1960. The revival of interest in the thought of Burke was one of the justifications for the publication of a second edition of Professor Cobban’s study of the political and social ideas of Burke and his closest disciples the Lake Poets. Burke’s thought has both historical and permanent significance: fundamentally his works are as relevant today as when they were first written. In this book Burke’s ideas are discussed without the uncritical adulation they receive in some quarters and those of the Lake Poets without the undue depreciation from which they used to suffer.

Edmund BurkeAppraisals and Applications The eighteenth century remains contemporary more than 200 years later because the fundamental questions raised then about politics in both the American and French Revolutions still speak to us. The writings of Edmund Burke on these and other political events of his time are today acknowledged as the basis of modern conservative thought. This volume brings together an outstanding collection of interpretative essays on Burke and serves as a basic introduction to this seminal thinker.A member of the British Parliament from 1766 to 1794 Edmund Burke had sympathized with the American War of Independence and argued for reform of British policy toward Ireland and India but he surprised many of his friends by his early vehement opposition to the French Revolution. This volume brings together assessments of these and other statements by Burke by contemporaries such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Hazlitt along with essays by Irving Babbitt and Russell Kirk who established his significance for twentieth-century conservatism.This is a collection of the best previously published interpretive essays on Burke. It will be of interest to all those interested in the philosophical roots of conservatism in the history of political thought in revolution and in modern political ideologies.

Edmund BurkeThe Enlightenment and Revolution Two centuries after Edmund Burke published his Reflections on the Revolution in France his name and reputation stand alongside Locke Montesquieu and Hume - the other still-cited grand political thinkers of the eighteenth century. For those great nations that have fallen into what Burke called "the antagonist world of madness discord vice confusion and unavailing sorrow " the work of Burke supplies that sense of order justice and freedom the present age seems to require.This volume by Peter Stanlis has grown out of almost four decades of studying Burke. Today Professor Stanlis is called by Russell Kirk "the leading American authority on the political thought of the great conservative reformer." The book is divided into three categories: Burke on law and politics; Burke's criticism of Enlightenment rationalism and sensibility; and Burke's theory of revolution and critique of the English revolution of 1688.Stanlis' reasons' for linking Burke to the English Revolution rather than the later and admittedly more decisive American and French Revolutions of his own time is that for Burke that earlier event was the normative pivot for judging how to make important changes in civil society. Indeed even in his writings on the contemporary revolutions of his time . Stanlis reminds us that Burke interpreted revolutionary events in France and Americas through the prism of the bloodless Revolution of 1688. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138509382

Edmund CampionA Scholarly Life Edmund Campion: A Scholarly Life is the response at long last to Evelyn Waugh’s call in 1935 for a ’scholarly biography’ to replace Richard Simpson's Edmund Campion (1867). Whereas early accounts of his life focused on the execution of the Jesuit priest this new biography presents a more balanced assessment placing equal weight on Campion’s London upbringing among printers and preachers and on his growing stature as an orator in an Oxford riven with religious divisions. Ireland chosen by Campion as a haven from religious conflict is shown paradoxically to have determined his life and his death. Gerard Kilroy here draws on newly discovered manuscript sources to reveal Campion as a charismatic and affectionate scholar who was finding fulfilment as priest and teacher in Prague when he was summoned to lead the first Jesuit mission to England. The book argues that the delays in his long journey suggest reluctant acceptance even before he was told that Dr Nicholas Sander had brought ’holy war’ to Ireland so that Campion landed in an England that was preparing for papal invasion. The book offers fresh insights into the dramatic search for Campion the populist nature of the disputations in the Tower and the legal issues raised by his torture. It was the monarchical republic itself that in pursuit of the Anjou marriage made him the beloved ’champion’ of the English Catholic community. Edmund Campion: A Scholarly Life presents the most detailed and comprehensive picture to date of an historical figure whose loyalty and courage in the trial and on the scaffold swiftly became legendary across Europe.

Edmund CampionMemory and Transcription The death of Edmund Campion in 1581 marked a disjunction between the world of printed untruth and private handwritten truth in early modern England. Gerard Kilroy traces the circulation of manuscripts connected with Campion to reveal a fascinating network that not only stretched from the Court to Warwickshire and East Anglia but also crossed the confessional boundaries. Kilroy shows that in this intricate web Sir John Harington was a key figure using his disguise as a wit to conceal a lifelong dedication to Campion's memory. Sir Thomas Tresham is shown as expressing his devotion to Campion both in his coded buildings and in a previously unpublished manuscript Bodleian MS Eng. th. b. 1-2 whose theological and cultural riches are here fully explored. This book provides startling new views about Campion's literary historical and cultural impact in early modern England. The great strength of this study is its exploitation of archival manuscript sources offering the first printed text and translation of Campion's Virgilian epic a fully collated text of 'Why doe I use my paper ynke and pen' and Harington's four decades of theological epigrams printed for the first time in the order he so carefully designed. Edmund Campion: Memory and Transcription lays the foundations of the first full literary assessment of Campion the scholar the impact he had on the literature of early modern England and the long legacy in manuscript writing.

Edmund SpenserEssays on Culture and Allegory Though his writings have long been integral to the canon of early modern English literature it is only in very recent scholarship that Edmund Spenser has been understood as a preeminent anthropologist whose work develops a complex theory of cultural change. The contributors to this volume approach Spenser’s work from that new perspective rethinking his contribution as a theorist of culture in light of his poetics. The essays in the collection begin with close readings of Spenser’s writings and end by challenging the ethnographic allegories that shape our knowledge of early modern England. In this book Spenser is proven to be not only a powerful theorist of allegory and poetics but also a profound and subtle ethnographer of England and Ireland. This is an interdisciplinary volume incorporating studies on history and art history as well as literary criticism. The essays are based on papers presented at The Faerie Queen in the World 1596-1996: Edmund Spenser among the Disciplines a conference which took place at the Yale Center for British Art in September 1996.

Edoardo WeissThe House That Freud Built Edoardo Weiss (1889-1970) was a favored disciple of Freud and is acknowledged as the founder of psychoanalysis in Italy. Although he was the author of six books and over a hundred professional papers he has remained a shadowy figure. In this volume Paul Roazen provides a definitive portrait of this notable individual. Based on his extensive interviews with Weiss Roazen evaluates the significance of Weiss's own contribution to psychoanalytic thought and practice and presents a fascinating picture of the reception given to Freud's thought in Italy.Despite his prominence Weiss's life and work has not been well documented. Roazen shows that his links to modern Italian history and culture were extensive and closely bound to the political and social conflicts of the twentieth century. Born in the cosmopolitan city of Trieste Weiss was the nephew of the novelist Italo Svevo whose masterpiece The Confessions of Zeno remains one of the principle psychoanalytic novels in modern literature. Another Triestine Umberto Saba one of the great modern Italian poets was Weiss's patient. Weiss's career also intersected with Italian politics. The daughter of one of Mussolini's cabinet ministers was one of his patients an analysis that has raised questions about Freud's own relation to the Italian dictator. Roazen documents Weiss's tribulations in trying to establish a psychoanalytic culture opposed not only by the fascist regime but the Catholic Church. In spite of these instances of opposition Roazen shows that the Italian intellectual world was highly receptive to Freudian ideas and that psychoanalysis is flourishing today in Italy.Weiss has never before been recognized as a front-rank analytic thinker but he was leader of the movement in Italy a country that mattered deeply to Freud. This along with the genuine intimacy of his contacts with Freud makes Weiss a figure of considerable interest to students of psychoanalysis Italian culture and intellectual history..

Educability and Group Differences Jensen is a controversial figure largely for his conclusions based on his and other research regarding the causes of race based differences in intelligence and in this book he develops more fully the argument he formulated in his controversial Harvard Education Review article ‘How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?’. In a wide-ranging survey of the evidence he argues that measured IQ reveals a strong hereditary component and he argues that the system of education which assumes an almost wholly environmentalist view of the causes of group differences capitalizes on a relatively narrow category of human abilities. Since its original publication the controversy surrounding Jensen’s ideas has continued as successive generations of psychologists scientists and policy-makers have grappled with the same issues.
