Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades

Visually enriched with over 250 photographs and drawings Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades is an essential reference guide for understanding the types and functions of double-skin façades. Author Mary Ben Bonham examines the history and continuing potential of double-skin architecture informing on the variety of approaches possible and advising a rigorous integrated design process leading to application. Featuring a wide selection of architectural examples the book will be of interest to professionals and students within the fields of architecture engineering and construction. Characterized by a buffer-like air space between two glazed building skins double-skin windows and façades aim to improve building comfort and energy performance. Double skins introduce complexity and initial costs yet significant buildings in locations around the globe continue to select this approach. In addition to exploring motivations benefits and cautions for designing with double skins the book provides a primer on fundamental façade design concepts and strategies for control of thermal luminous and acoustic environments. Chapters also address alternative types of high-performance façades and implications for each phase of façade design and construction. Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades promotes bioclimatic design that is inspired by nature measured in performance and uniquely adapted to climate and place.

Partners in Palliative Care Enhancing Ethics in Care at the End-of-Life

Partners in Palliative Care Enhancing Ethics in Care at the End-of-Life

The Collaborative for Palliative Care (Collaborative) is a grassroots consortium of public and private organizations that came together in 2005 for the purposes of studying the increasing need for palliative care and the methods for such care. It has grown from a small fledgling group to a membership of over 50 community-based organizations and volunteers dedicated to improving care of the seriously ill through education research and advocacy. The Collaborative bridges policy research and practice in its initiatives and vision for the future. Partners in Palliative Care examines specific areas of concern that the Collaborative has addressed in its education programs and advocacy as well as the collaborative processes that have been so successful in building community assets. Areas of concentration have been diverse and include advance care planning relational communication paradigms community capacity building the role of culture and spirituality in palliative care the meaning of pain and suffering for seriously ill individuals and the ethics of health care costs in palliative and end-of-life systems of care. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care. | Partners in Palliative Care Enhancing Ethics in Care at the End-of-Life

The End of Physiotherapy

The End of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is arriving at a critical point in its history. Since World War I physiotherapy has been one of the largest allied health professions and the established provider of orthodox physical rehabilitation. But ageing populations of increasingly chronically ill people a growing scepticism towards biomedicine and the changing economy of healthcare threaten physiotherapy’s long-held status. Paradoxically physiotherapy’s affinity for treating the ‘body-as-machine’ has resulted in an almost complete inability to identify the roots of the profession’s present problems or define possible ways forward. Physiotherapists need to engage in critically informed theoretical discussion about the profession’s past present and future - to explore their practice from economic philosophical political and sociological perspectives. The End of Physiotherapy aims to explain how physiotherapy has arrived at this critical point in its history and to point to a new future for the profession. The book draws on critical analyses of the historical and social conditions that have made present-day physiotherapy possible. Nicholls examines some of the key discourses that have had a positive impact on the profession in the past but now threaten to derail it. This book makes it possible for physiotherapists to think otherwise about their profession and their day-to-day practice. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of physiotherapy interprofessional and community rehabilitation as well as appealing to those working in medical sociology the medical humanities medical history and health care policy.

Metaethical Subjectivism

Metaethical Subjectivism

Metaethical subjectivism the idea that the truth or falsity of moral statements is contingent upon the attitudes or conventions of observers is often regarded as a lurid philosophical doctrine which generates much psychological resistance to its acceptance. In this accessible book Richard Double presents a vigorous defense of metaethical subjectivism arguing that the acceptance of this doctrine need have no deleterious effects upon theorizing either in normative ethics or in moral practice. Proceeding from a 'worldview' methodology Double criticizes the rival doctrine of metaethical objectivism for lacking both 'completeness' and 'soundness' argues that a defense of metaethical subjectivism requires no special semantic analysis of moral language and defends the plausibility of metaethical subjectivism as explaining key intractable disagreements in moral philosophy. Double concludes by suggesting that the acceptance of metaethical subjectivism is better for constructing theories of normative ethics and moral practice than is metaethical objectivism.

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

This new volume of papers by Julio Sams³ deals with the development of astronomy and astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib between the 10th and the 19th centuries. Opening with a survey of the social history of the exact sciences in al-Andalus the book then looks at astronomical tables: the first stages of the introduction of al-Khwarizmi's and al-Battani's tables through the school of Maslama al-Majriti the development of Ibn al-Zarqalluh/ Azarquiel's theories in Maghribi zijes (Ibn al-Banna' and Ibn Azzuz) and the abandonment of this tradition towards the end of the 14th century. From this period onwards new Eastern zijes (Muhyi al-Din al-Maghribi Ibn al-Shatir Ulugh Beg) are introduced in the Maghrib and towards the beginning of the 17th century a translation of Abraham Zacut and José Vizinho's Almanach Perpetuum (end of the 15th century) becomes well known in the whole Islamic world from Morocco to the Yemen. As well as zijes themselves the author also deals with theoretical astronomy (the use of an elliptical deferent for Mercury in Ibn al-Zarqalluh's equatorium and the criticisms of Ibn al-Haytham and Jabir b. Aflah on Ptolemy's determination of the parameters of the same planet) and with the use of zijes for the calculation of horoscopes and an experimental astrological method for the correction of mean motion planetary tables (Ibn Azzuz).

Social Sustainability for Business

Social Sustainability for Business

Social Sustainability for Business demonstrates the need for a transformational change to the way businesses across the globe operate. What has become the standard accepted business model with a focus on corporate profit shareholder wealth maximization and GDP growth is no longer a sustainable business model for workers consumers communities society the planet or any of its inhabitants and ecosystems. The authors argue that the current commercial system depletes natural resources denigrates human rights and inhibits positive social and technological innovation. To address these issues they focus on societal goals—such as a sustainable planet meeting human rights of workers and safe products for consumers—and outline steps that organizations and individuals must take to achieve them. Readers will gain insight into the psychological barriers to and influences on sustainable behavior. They will also learn how reconsidering corporate social responsibility and business ethics can stop and reverse the destruction of a profit-based approach. Cases on modern examples of sustainability or lack thereof explain how establishing and maintaining a socially sustainable business system can protect the environment meet the rights of its people and ensure that their needs are met tomorrow. End-of-chapter and end-of-case discussion questions will help students in sustainability classes to think critically about the practical impact of the topics discussed.

The problems of readjustment for the individual and for the business purse and for the state which inevitably follow war are most important at the present moment. Almost five years after the end of the Great Conflict many of these problems are still facing us and it will take many more years before they are settled. One who is interested in the statistics of conditions will find many places in which they can be found. Although statistics show what exists or has existed they seldom provide advice regarding the solutions. The present work is entirely lacking in statistics It is intended to be of assistance in the solution of some problems. | Revival: Nervous and Mental Re-Education (1924)

The Modernization of Rural France Communications Networks and Agricultural Market Structures in Nineteenth-Century France

The Modernization of Rural France Communications Networks and Agricultural Market Structures in Nineteenth-Century France

This book first published in 1983 is a major contribution to our understanding of how and why French rural peasant society became modernised by radical changes in the communications system – in particular the coming of the railways. The author argues that complex changes in the transport systems and their effects on agricultural market structures finally brought traditional French rural civilisation to an end. With the extension of commercialisation and the widening of horizons new economic and social structures – and changed attitudes – rapidly came into being. Writing as an economic historian the author has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to this study which incorporates economic sociological historical and geographical methods and data. | The Modernization of Rural France Communications Networks and Agricultural Market Structures in Nineteenth-Century France
