Some Young People

Some Young People

The Richardson boys ganged up with two other big families in their buildings and at various ages had tried out most of the local youth organisations. Bert Richardson with a suitable set of brothers and mates was in the Scouts but they got ejected. Later at thirteen he joined a boys’ club for its boxing and football and belonged on and off till he was sixteen. Then he suddenly dropped out. Why did Bert drop out? Originally published in 1954 the answer forms the substance of Some Young People the report of an inquiry into adolescents’ reactions to their local youth groups. Besides answering the question Who joins what? (and two thirds of these thousand youngsters of 14 to 17 were not members of any youth organisation) the book describes some of the hopes pleasures and difficulties of such people as Frances the chocolate packer who has ambition to marry before long; and John the carpenter’s apprentice whose passions are autocycling pigeons and pigs. It also throws light on problems such as those presented by gangs; and suggests the importance of my friends the closely-knit set who mean so much to the adolescent.

Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Originally published for the first time in English in 1979 this book represents one of the earliest Marxist analyses of the impact that colonialism had on Africa during the first half century that followed the Scramble. Nzula’s co-authored book together with all his writings in the Negro Worker are assembled here. The political experience of its African co-author resulted in a book which is alight with commitment to the liberation of the Continent yet always tempered by an explicit theoretical understanding of capitalism in its imperialist phase. The book opens with an outline of Africa’s role in the world economic system. Successive chapters reveal how Western capitalism conjured up a brutally exploited working class and dispossessed peasantry throughout the African continent. Each major region of Black Africa is analysed. Meticulous information as to the facts of oppression and many of the early urban and rural struggles against colonialism before the Second World War is set out. Robin Cohen’s introduction is a valuable summation of Nzula’s life and of the background to this book. The appendices bring together many of Nzula’s little known writings. | Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

The Distributed Functions of Emergency Management and Homeland Security An Assessment of Professions Involved in Response to Disasters and T

The Distributed Functions of Emergency Management and Homeland Security An Assessment of Professions Involved in Response to Disasters and T

The Distributed Functions of Emergency Management and Homeland Security outlines the roles and responsibilities of various individuals and agencies involved in homeland security and all aspects of emergency management. Each chapter focuses on the practical and applied aspects of a range of public servants in various departments and the organizations that they represent. Rather than presenting a theoretical exploration alone the book examines the practical knowledge and hands-on skills related to various functions and how their decisions and actions play into the larger framework of safety and security —in the public private and nonprofit sectors. Every professional has a unique and integral part to play in fulfilling their roles and obligations whether it be in relation to prevention mitigation preparedness response or recovery operations. Personnel that frequently come to mind in such scenarios include emergency managers geographers and land-use planners EMTs and paramedics fire fighters police officers public health officials nurses public administrators and public information officers. And while these individuals are integral to homeland security and emergency management there are other professionals that also perform essential duties that—while they aren’t first-to-mind—are vital to efforts relating to terrorism and disasters; this includes pilots in the aviation sector the military attorneys psychologists and forensic professionals serving in pathology DNA and dentistry roles. Chapters provide a holistic rendering of the homeland security and emergency management landscape to present all these various professional capabilities and contributions. This includes how current functions are coordinated as well as how future efforts might change relative to a more proactive all-hazards and holistic approach. As such the book will be a useful resource for students and practitioners to understand the dynamic professions—and various disciplines and fields—that impact disaster and terrorism preparedness and response capabilities. | The Distributed Functions of Emergency Management and Homeland Security An Assessment of Professions Involved in Response to Disasters and T

Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

Many books have been written about nineteenth-century Oxford theology but what was happening in Cambridge? This book provides the first continuous account of what might be called 'the Cambridge theological tradition' by discussing its leading figures from Richard Watson and William Paley through Herbert Marsh and Julius Hare to the trio of Lightfoot Westcott and Hort. It also includes a chapter on nonconformists such as Robertson Smith P. T. Forsyth and T. R. Glover. The analysis is organised around the defences that were offered for the credibility of Christianity in response to hostile and friendly critics. In this period the study of theology was not yet divided into its modern self-contained areas. A critical approach to scripture was taken for granted and its implications for ecclesiology the understanding of salvation and the social implications of the Gospel were teased out (in Hort's phrase) through enquiry and controversy as a way to discover truth. Cambridge both engaged with German theology and responded positively to the nineteenth-century 'crisis of faith'. | Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

The Comprehensive Resource Model Effective therapeutic techniques for the healing of complex trauma

The Comprehensive Resource Model Effective therapeutic techniques for the healing of complex trauma

Traditional methods employed in psychotherapy have limited effectiveness when it comes to healing the psychological effects of trauma in particular complex trauma. While a client may seem to make significant breakthroughs in understanding their feelings and experiences on a rational level by talking with a therapist this will make no difference to their post-traumatic symptoms if the midbrain is unable to modulate its activity in response. The Comprehensive Resource Model argues for a novel therapeutic approach which uniquely bridges neuroscience and spirituality through a combination of somatic therapy traditional psychotherapy and indigenous healing concepts to provide effective relief to survivors of trauma. The Comprehensive Resource Model was developed in response to the need for a streamlined integrative therapeutic model; one which engages a scaffolding of neurobiological resources in many brain structures simultaneously in order for clients to be fully embodied and conscious in the present moment while processing their traumatic material. All three phases of trauma therapy: resourcing processing and integration are done simultaneously. Demonstrating a nested model and employing brain and body-based physiological safety as the foundation of healing chapters describe three primary categories of targeted processing: implicit and explicit survival terror ‘Little T Truths’ and ‘Big T Truths’ all of which contribute to thorough healing of complex trauma and an expansion into higher states of consciousness and embodiment of the essential core self. This book describes the development and benefits of this pioneering new approach to trauma therapy. As such it will be of key interest to academics researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of psychiatry psychotherapy psychology and trauma studies. It will also appeal to practising therapists psychiatrists psychologists psychiatric nurses and to others involved in the treatment or management of patients with complex trauma disorders. | The Comprehensive Resource Model Effective therapeutic techniques for the healing of complex trauma

The Sharpe Ratio Statistics and Applications

The Sharpe Ratio Statistics and Applications

The Sharpe ratio is the most widely used metric for comparing theperformance of financial assets. The Markowitz portfolio is the portfolio withthe highest Sharpe ratio. The Sharpe Ratio: Statistics and Applications examines the statistical propertiesof the Sharpe ratio and Markowitz portfolio both under the simplifying assumption of Gaussian returns and asymptotically. Connections are drawn between the financial measures and classical statistics includingStudent's t Hotelling's T^2 and the Hotelling-Lawley trace. The robustness of these statistics to heteroskedasticity autocorrelation fat tails and skew of returns are considered. The construction of portfolios to maximizethe Sharpe is expanded from the usual static unconditional model to include subspace constraints heding out assets and the use of conditioning information on both expected returns and risk. {book title} is the most comprehensivetreatment of the statistical properties of the Sharpe ratio and Markowitzportfolio ever published. Features: * Material on single asset problems market timing unconditional and conditional portfolio problems hedged portfolios. * Inference via both Frequentist and Bayesian paradigms. *A comprehensive treatment of overoptimism and overfitting of trading strategies. *Advice on backtesting strategies. *Dozens of examples and hundreds of exercises for self study.

Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Scholars have tended to portray T. H. Huxley John Tyndall and their allies as the dominant cultural authority in the second half of the 19th century. Defenders of Darwin and his theory of evolution these men of science are often seen as a potent force for the secularization of British intellectual and social life. In this collection of essays Bernard Lightman argues that historians have exaggerated the power of scientific naturalism to undermine the role of religion in middle and late-Victorian Britain. The essays deal with the evolutionary naturalists especially the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley the physicist John Tyndall and the philosopher of evolution Herbert Spencer. But they look also at those who criticized this influential group of elite intellectuals including aristocratic spokesman A. J Balfour the novelist Samuel Butler and the popularizer of science Frank Buckland. Focusing on the theme of the limitations of the cultural power of evolutionary naturalism the volume points to the enduring strength of religion in Britain in the latter half of the 19th century. | Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

Originally published in 1979 the central focus of this study is the concept of culture as employed by English literary intellectuals over the preceding 100 years a period characterized by a constant process of re-definition and change. The tradition of criticism in which these intellectuals wrote represented the artistic imagination as a moral force in society and a fundamental mechanism for social change. The author traces this tradition through the writings of various English intellectuals using the three main figures of Matthew Arnold F. R. Leavis and Raymond Williams to elucidate the concept. She shows through the writings of their contemporaries how the concept was employed and modified and her analysis ranges from J. S. Mill John Ruskin and William Morris through George Bernard Shaw D. H. Lawrence T. S. Eliot and R. H. Tawney to Richard Hoggard Richard Wollheim and R. S. Peters. By discussing the questions of the role of art in society and examining their treatment by different groups of intellectuals the author has supplied a basis for a forceful critique of the quality of life in modern industrial society. This book will be of interest to students of literature cultural history and the sociology of culture. | The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams
