Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

Will Sustainability Fly? Aviation Fuel Options in a Low-Carbon World

While international negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been less than satisfactory there is a presumption that a significant level of multi-lateral commitment will be realized at some point. International air and marine travel have been left to one side in past talks because the pursuit of agreement proceeds on the basis of commitment by sovereign nations and the effects of these specific commercial activities are by their nature difficult to corral and assign to specific national jurisdictions. However air travel is increasing and unless something is done emissions from this segment of our world economy will form a progressively larger percentage of the total especially as emissions fall in other activities. This book focuses on fuel. The aim is to provide background in technical and policy terms from the broadest reliable sources of information available for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving aviation emissions profile. It considers what policy has been why and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid fuel how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source materials and the barriers to change. It also advances some elements of policy remedies that make sense in providing an environmentally and economically sound way forward in a context that comprehends a more complete vision of sustainability than 'renewable fuels' traditionally have. The goal of Will Sustainability Fly? is to broaden and contextualize the knowledge resource available to academics policy makers air industry leaders and stakeholders and interested members of the public. | Will Sustainability Fly?

Managing State Social Work Front-Line Management and the Labour Process Perspective

Managing State Social Work Front-Line Management and the Labour Process Perspective

Published in 1998. The industrial model of the labour process developed by Braverman was applied to social work in the radical social work literature. The book engages in a more critical examination of the application of the labour process perspective to social work with particular reference to front-line management in a local authority context. It begins with a review of the labour process literature which demonstrates the extent to which the independence of Braverman’s model on scientific management was undermined in the post-Braverman debate. The radical texts' orthodox Bravermanian approach to the social work labour process is considered. In those texts the social work labour process is represented as having moved towards an industrial model which steadily encroached on the autonomy of front-line field social workers through managers’ wresting of control over their work. The book advances an alternative model of the social work labour process which takes account of the distinctive features of social work as a state-mediated bureau-professional labour process. Findings from a small-scale case study of a social services department are presented. Data from the study are used to test the bureau-professional model of the social work labour process against the orthodox Bravermanian model. Developments in the social services department’s organizational structure are set out and the position of front-line managers is considered through an exploration of their identifications and commitments in relation to management and trade unionism. The data from their accounts support the bureau-professional model of the labour process and the position of front-line managers emerges as more ambiguous than the radical social work literature indicated. Front-line managers did not share global goals with senior management nor were their interests merged straightforwardly with those of social workers. | Managing State Social Work Front-Line Management and the Labour Process Perspective

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

In the decade since Kevin Hylton’s seminal book ‘Race’ and Sport: Critical Race Theory was published racialised issues have remained at the forefront of sport and leisure studies. In this important new book Hylton draws on original research in contemporary contexts from sport coaching to cyberspace to show once again that Critical Race Theory is an insightful and productive tool for interrogating problematic social phenomena. Inspired by W. E. B. Du Bois’ statement that the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line this book sheds a critical light on the way sport perpetuates racism while identifying opportunities to challenge its insidious presence. Exploring and explaining the ways in which notions of ‘race’ are expressed and contested at individual institutional and societal levels it addresses key topics such as whiteness diversity colourblindness unconscious bias identity leadership humour and discourse to investigate how language can be used as a device for resistance against racism in sport. Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport: Shaming the Colour Line is vital reading for all sport studies students academics and those with an interest in race ethnicity and society.

Drawing the Line Nature Hybridity and Politics in Transboundary Spaces

Drawing the Line Nature 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. | Drawing the Line Nature Hybridity and Politics in Transboundary Spaces

Diversity in Black Greek Letter Organizations Breaking the Line

Diversity in Black Greek Letter Organizations Breaking the Line

Starting in the early twentieth century and still thriving in the contemporary era Black Greek-letter organizations (BGLOs) provide social support networking opportunities and service for the Black community. Although BGLOs have always been majority-Black organizations there are small numbers of non-Black individuals who choose to pledge their membership. Diversity in Black Greek-Letter Organizations: Breaking the Line explores the experiences of these non-Black members who have immersed themselves in organizations rich with Black history and culture. Through in-depth interviews with thirty-four such members Wendy Marie Laybourn and Devon R. Goss reveal how and why these individuals come to identify with organizations designed for the uplift of races other than their own. For non-Black BGLO members the association with a Black organization provides them the opportunity to consider the meaning of racial inequality and their own racial identities. Although many non-Black BGLO members recount challenges to their membership the participants in Diversity in Black Greek-Letter Organizations ultimately find a sense of belonging with their Black brothers and sisters which Laybourn and Goss argue can provide an example of the challenges and promises of cross-racial interactions as a whole. | Diversity in Black Greek Letter Organizations Breaking the Line

Human Resources for the Non-HR Manager

Human Resources for the Non-HR Manager

Human Resources for the Non-HR Manager gives every manager regardless of their functional role access to cutting-edge research and evidence-based recommendations so they can approach their people management responsibilities with confidence. Day-to-day people management is increasingly the responsibility of front-line managers not HR professionals. But managers are often poorly prepared for these responsibilities; they receive little training (and sometimes have little interest!) in HR. People management is never easy and it is particularly challenging in COVID-19’s next normal workplace where managers must engage diverse employees across a wide range of working arrangements. This book focuses on the special relationship that line managers have with their employees and describes managers’ responsibilities across the entire employee lifecycle – from front-end recruiting and hiring through to long-term retention. The content is grounded in rigorous academic research but the book’s conversational tone conveys basic principles without technical jargon. Each chapter includes Manager’s Checkpoints to help readers apply the material to their own workplace and Manager’s Knots that address gray areas inherent in people management. The book is designed for any reader currently working as a line manager or aspiring to a managerial role who wants to improve their people management skills.

New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

When technology has been applied in business environments its justification has usually been cast in terms of saving time or saving money. In the social sciences the justification must be different; the viability of sociology as a profession for example will not be enhanced by cost reductions. The focus in this volume is on a different bottom line: the quality and content of work. | New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

Lalangue Sinthome Jouissance and Nomination A Reading Companion and Commentary on Lacan's Seminar XXIII on the Sinthome

Lalangue Sinthome Jouissance and Nomination A Reading Companion and Commentary on Lacan's Seminar XXIII on the Sinthome

This reading companion and commentary on Lacan Seminar XXIII provides detailed analyses of Lacan's seminar while maintaining an overall continuity and consistency. This book does not purport to provide an exhaustive and systematic line-by-line reading of a very complex and varied seminar. Rather it selects key themes of Lacanian theory that are found present throughout his work. In addition the book does not try to simplify Lacan's ambiguous style leaving the text open to different interpretations while providing theory commentary and lines of analysis into some of Lacan's important insights. Finally this book is not about Joyce the writer but more about the use that Lacan makes of Joyce. Its purpose is not to apply psychoanalysis to a literary subject but rather to use the literary text to illustrate and develop psychoanalytic theory and Lacanian theory in particular. It is an analysis of topology and language or a linguisterie as Lacan called it for clinicians. | Lalangue Sinthome Jouissance and Nomination A Reading Companion and Commentary on Lacan's Seminar XXIII on the Sinthome

Pivotal Lines in Shakespeare and Others Finding the Heart of the Play

Pivotal Lines in Shakespeare and Others Finding the Heart of the Play

Sidney Homan defines a pivotal line as “a moment in the script that serves as a pathway into the larger play … a magnet to which the rest of the play scenes before and after adheres. ” He offers his personal choices of such lines in five plays by Shakespeare and works by Beckett Brecht Pinter Shepard and Stoppard. Drawing on his own experience in the theatre as actor and director and on campus as a teacher and scholar he pairs a Shakespearean play with one by a modern playwright as mirrors for each other. One reviewer calls his approach “ground-breaking. ” Another observes that his “experience with the particular plays he has chosen is invaluable” since it allows us to find “a wedge into such iconic texts. ” Academics and students alike will find this volume particularly useful in aiding their own discovery of a pivotal line or moment in the experience of reading about watching or performing in a play. | Pivotal Lines in Shakespeare and Others Finding the Heart of the Play
