Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

Rapid changes in land use especially in growing metropolitan areas have created problems that increasingly indicate an urgent need for techniques and procedures for making intelligent land-use decisions. This book identifies the potential undesirable effects of land-use changes and provides techniques for estimating and minimizing them. Based on several years of research conducted by a team of thirty-four faculty and assistants the study shows how planners and decision makers can benefit from such contemporary planning tools as remote sensing statistical analysis and computer technology as well as a variety of evaluation procedures. Part 1 describes the problems of contemporary urbanization and offers a set of planning principles and tools for working with the environmental landscape. These principles and tools are the basis of the procedures detailed in Part 2; the assessment procedures in turn are an essential part of the two current planning approaches—the holistic landscape approach and the parametric approach—described in Part 3. | Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

This is a book about the tensions between Christian ideals of love and the concrete realities of everyday monastic life. Based on a study of Cistercian monasteries in France it develops a novel conceptualization of fraternal relations and addresses how monks and nuns strive to accomplish such relationships within their communities. By focusing on the main interaction contexts of monasteries as a form of voluntary total institution the book shows how attempts to generate collective solidarity relate to other members as equals and avoid preferential relations conflict with practices of everyday life. Although fraternal ideals are similar for monks and nuns the analysis reveals significant gender differences regarding the legitimacy of different forms of interaction and relationships as well as how to control them. The book appeals to readers with an interest in total institutions sociology of religion sociology of friendship sociology of intimacy and also to scholars with an interest in theology of love and practical theology. | Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

In this seminal contribution to the sociology of knowledge first published in 1940 Florian Znaniecki develops a typology of the variety of specific social roles that scholars have played and investigates the normative patterns that govern their behavior. A central tool for the investigation of these problems is the notion of “social circle” the audience to which intellectuals address themselves. Znaniecki shows that thinkers do not speak to the total society but address selected segments and markets. Specific social circles bestow recognition provide material or psychic support and help shape the self-image of the thinker. | The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

Ethnomusicology of the Flathead Indians

Ethnomusicology of the Flathead Indians

All people in no matter what culture must be able to place their music firmly in the context of the totality of their beliefs experiences and activities for without such ties music cannot exist. This means that there must be a body of theory connected with any music system - not necessarily a theory of the structure of music sound although that may be present as well but rather a theory of what music is what it does and how it is coordinated with the total environment both natural and cultural in which human beings move. The Flathead Indians of Western Montana (just over 26 000 in number as of the 2000 census) inhabit a reservation consisting of 632 516 acres of land in the Jocko and Flathead Valleys and the Camas Prairie country which lie roughly between Evaro and Kalispell Montana. The reservation is bounded on the east by the Mission Range on the west by the Cabinet National Forest on the south by the Lolo National Forest and on the north by an arbitrary line approximately bisecting Flathead Lake about twenty-four miles south of Kalispell. The area is one of the richest agricultural regions in Montana and fish and game are abundant. The Flathead are engaged in stocking timbering and various agricultural enterprises. For the Flathead the most important single fact about music and its relationship to the total world is its origin in the supernatural sphere. All true and proper songs particularly in the past owe their origin to a variety of contacts experienced by humans with beings which though a part of this world are superhuman and the source of both individual and tribal powers and skills. Thus a sharp distinction is drawn by the Flathead between what they call make-up and all other songs. Merriam's pioneering work in the relationship of ethnography and musicology remains a primary source in this field in anthropology. | Ethnomusicology of the Flathead Indians

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Statistical Methods for Mediation Confounding and Moderation Analysis Using R and SAS

Statistical Methods for Mediation Confounding and Moderation Analysis Using R and SAS

Third-variable effect refers to the effect transmitted by third-variables that intervene in the relationship between an exposure and a response variable. Differentiating between the indirect effect of individual factors from multiple third-variables is a constant problem for modern researchers. Statistical Methods for Mediation Confounding and Moderation Analysis Using R and SAS introduces general definitions of third-variable effects that are adaptable to all different types of response (categorical or continuous) exposure or third-variables. Using this method multiple third- variables of different types can be considered simultaneously and the indirect effect carried by individual third-variables can be separated from the total effect. Readers of all disciplines familiar with introductory statistics will find this a valuable resource for analysis. Key Features: Parametric and nonparametric method in third variable analysis Multivariate and Multiple third-variable effect analysis Multilevel mediation/confounding analysis Third-variable effect analysis with high-dimensional data Moderation/Interaction effect analysis within the third-variable analysis R packages and SAS macros to implement methods proposed in the book

The Crisis of Marxist Ideology in Eastern Europe The Poverty of Utopia

The Crisis of Marxist Ideology in Eastern Europe The Poverty of Utopia

First published in 1988 The Crisis of Marxist Ideology in Eastern Europe states that since de-Stalinisation began in Eastern Europe the ‘dead hand’ of institutional Marxism has been eroded by revisionist Marxism with the turn to young Marx and the philosophy of human emancipation to undermine prevailing orthodoxies. But this revisionism clung to the old socialist dogmas and refused a total break with the system and the effort eventually failed. The result was the emergence of a dissident counterculture rejecting the system entirely. Independent social movements (such as unofficial peace groups and trade unions like Solidarity) have given this counterculture a major role in Eastern Europe whilst the ruling elites have responded with confusion. Tismaneanu concludes that the only hope for the anti-totalitarian intellectuals of Eastern Europe is to oppose the regimes with non-Marxist ideas – otherwise they will be permanently reduced to the status of a hopeless albeit heroic minority. This book will be of interest to students of economics political science and international relations. | The Crisis of Marxist Ideology in Eastern Europe The Poverty of Utopia

South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)

South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)

First published in 1975 South Wales Miners starts with the War of Empires when nearly 50 000 Welsh miners almost one-fifth of the total manpower of their coalfield responded to the call and voluntarily enlisted in the British armed forces. The author uncovers how the coalowners in the meantime took advantage of the war emergency to deny the remaining miners a fair recompense for their toil and of the bitter strife that followed. The book tells the story of what led up to the General Strike and here the author uses hitherto hidden sources of information. The picture is revealed of what was a virtual conspiracy between the Baldwin-Churchill Government and the mineowners not only to cut wages and lengthen hours but to cripple British trade unionism. When the miners held out through a seven-month lockout the efforts of these highly placed conspirators recoiled on their own heads and on the whole economy of British Empire. This book will be of interest to students of history labour studies economics and political science. | South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)
