Injustice in Urban Sustainability Ten Core Drivers

Injustice in Urban Sustainability Ten Core Drivers

This book uses a unique typology of ten core drivers of injustice to explore and question common assumptions around what urban sustainability means how it can be implemented and how it is manifested in or driven by urban interventions that hinge on claims of sustainability. Aligned with critical environmental justice studies the book highlights the contradictions of urban sustainability in relation to justice. It argues that urban neighbourhoods cannot be greener more sustainable and liveable unless their communities are strengthened by the protection of the right to housing public space infrastructure and healthy amenities. Linked to the individual drivers ten short empirical case studies from across Europe and North America provide a systematic analysis of research policy and practice conducted under urban sustainability agendas in cities such as Barcelona Glasgow Athens Boston and Montréal and show how social and environmental justice is or is not being taken into account. By doing so the book uncovers the risks of continuing urban sustainability agendas while ignoring and therefore perpetuating systemic drivers of inequity and injustice operating within and outside of the city. Accessibly written for students in urban studies critical geography and planning this is a useful and analytical synthesis of issues relating to urban sustainability environmental and social justice.

Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

From the discovery of x-rays in 1895 through the emergence of computed tomography (CT) in the 1970s and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the 1980s non-invasive imaging has revolutionized the practice of medicine. While these technologies have thoroughly penetrated clinical practice scientists continue to develop novel approaches that promise to push imaging into entirely new clinical realms while addressing the issues of dose sensitivity or specificity that limit existing imaging approaches. Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine surveys a number of emerging technologies that have the promise to find routine clinical use in the near- (less than five years) mid- (five to ten years) and long-term (more than ten years) time frames. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion of the associated physics and technology and addresses improvements in terms of dose sensitivity and specificity which are limitations of current imaging approaches. In particular the book focuses on modalities with clinical potential rather than those likely to have an impact mainly in preclinical animal imaging. The last ten years have been a period of fervent creativity and progress in imaging technology with improvements in computational power nanofabrication and laser and detector technology leading to major new developments in phase-contrast imaging photoacoustic imaging and optical imaging.

Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy

Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy

The second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy co-edited by two leading scholars in the international relations subfield of public diplomacy includes 16 more chapters from the first. Ten years later a new global landscape of public diplomacy has taken shape with major programs in graduate-level public diplomacy studies worldwide. What separates this handbook from others is its legacy and continuity from the first edition. This first edition line-up was more military-focused than this edition a nod to the work of Philip M. Taylor to whom this updated edition is dedicated. This edition includes US content but all case studies are outside the United States not only to appeal to a global audience of scholars and practitioners but also as a way of offering something fresher than the US/UK-centric competition. In Parts 1–4 original contributors are retained many with revised editions but new faces emerge. Parts 5 and 6 include 16 global case studies in public diplomacy expanding the number of contributors by ten. The concluding part of the book includes chapters on digital and corporate public diplomacy and a signature final chapter on the noosphere and noopolitik as they relate to public diplomacy. Designed for a broad audience the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy is encyclopedic in its range and depth of content yet is written in an accessible style that will appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Landscape designers have long understood the use of plants to provide beauty aesthetic pleasure and visual stimulation while supporting a broad range of functional goals. However the potential for plants in the landscape to elicit human involvement and provide mental stimulation and restoration is much less well understood. This book meshes the art of planting design with an understanding of how humans respond to natural environments. Beginning with an understanding of human needs preferences and responses to landscape the author interprets the ways in which an understanding of the human-environment interaction can inform planting design. Many of the principles and techniques that may be used in planting design are beautifully illustrated in full colour with examples by leading landscape architects and designers from the United Kingdom Europe North America and Asia including: Andrea Cochran Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture San Francisco CA Design Workshop Inc. Richard Hartlage Land Morphology Seattle WA Shunmyo Masuno Japan Landscape Consultants Ltd. Yokohama Piet Oudolf Hummelo The Netherlands Melody Redekop Vancouver Christine Ten Eyck Ten Eyck Landscape Architects Inc. Austin TX Kongjian Yu Turenscape Ltd. Beijing. The book stimulates thought provides new direction and assists the reader to find their own unique design voice. Because there are many valid processes and intentions for landscape design the book is not intended to be overly prescriptive. Rather than presenting a strict design method and accompanying set of rules Planting Design provides information insight and inspiration as a basis for developing the individual designer’s own expression in this most challenging of art forms. | Planting Design Connecting People and Place

Experiencing 11 November 2018 Commemoration and the First World War Centenary

Experiencing 11 November 2018 Commemoration and the First World War Centenary

In a unique collection of international and interdisciplinary research this book focuses on commemorative events around the world on the same day: 11 November 2018 the centenary of Armistice Day the end of the First World War. It argues that we need to move beyond discourse narrative and how historical events are represented to fully understand what commemoration does socially politically and culturally. Adopting an experiential reframing treats sensory affective and emotional feelings as fundamental to how we collectively understand shared histories and through them shared identities. The volume features 15 case studies from ten countries covering a variety of settings and national contexts specific to the First World War. Together the chapters demonstrate that a new conceptualisation of commemoration is needed: one that attends to how it feels. | Experiencing 11 November 2018 Commemoration and the First World War Centenary

The Social Work and Sexual Trauma Casebook Phenomenological Perspectives

The Social Work and Sexual Trauma Casebook Phenomenological Perspectives

This volume offers a collection of ten case studies from clinical social workers who work in the field of sexual trauma with the objective of challenging and informing social work practice with survivors and perpetrators of sexual trauma. These steps are meant to help the process of treatment by breaking down the experience of trauma to a set of steps and interventions aimed at resolving traumatic symptoms within a given time frame. Our text seeks to challenge the tendency towards reductionism inherent in the dominant social paradigm by encouraging the development of a phenomenological and interdisciplinary approach to understanding sexual trauma. In doing so the examples of interventions presented in each case study reflect practice methods that honor the complexity of the human experience of sexual trauma suffering and recovery. | The Social Work and Sexual Trauma Casebook Phenomenological Perspectives
