Life Writing After Empire

Life Writing After Empire

A watershed moment of the twentieth century the end of empire saw upheavals to global power structures and national identities. However decolonisation profoundly affected individual subjectivities too. Life Writing After Empire examines how people around the globe have made sense of the post-imperial condition through the practice of life writing in its multifarious expressions from auto/biography through travel writing to oral history and photography. Through interdisciplinary approaches that draw on literature and history alike the contributors explore how we might approach these genres differently in order to understand how individual life writing reflects broader societal changes. From far-flung corners of the former British Empire people have turned to life writing to manage painful or nostalgic memories as well as to think about the past and future of the nation anew through the personal experience. In a range of innovative and insightful contributions some of the foremost scholars of the field challenge the way we think about narrative memory and identity after empire. This book was originally published as a special issue of Life Writing.

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life cycle assessment enables the identification of a broad range of potential environmental impacts occurring across the entire life of a product from its design through to its eventual disposal or reuse. The need for life cycle assessment to inform environmental design within the built environment is critical due to the complex range of materials and processes required to construct and manage our buildings and infrastructure systems. After outlining the framework for life cycle assessment this book uses a range of case studies to demonstrate the innovative input-output-based hybrid approach for compiling a life cycle inventory. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of a broad range of resource requirements and environmental outputs so that the potential environmental impacts of a building or infrastructure system can be ascertained. These case studies cover a range of elements that are part of the built environment including a residential building a commercial office building and a wind turbine as well as individual building components such as a residential-scale photovoltaic system. Comprehensively introducing and demonstrating the uses and benefits of life cycle assessment for built environment projects this book will show you how to assess the environmental performance of your clients’ projects to compare design options across their entire life and to identify opportunities for improving environmental performance. | Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Insuring Life Value Security and Risk

Insuring Life Value Security and Risk

This book is a contribution to the scholarly engagement with the wider problem of governing through risk and the politics of uncertainty. It takes life insurance as an empirical site from which to ask: what is the kind of governance created through insurance an instance of and how does it contribute to the transcendence of liberalism? By making a distinction between capable life as object of insurance and potential life as that which escapes its control the book conducts a historical epistemological analysis of the problems of valuation truth production securitisation classification and gendering that constitute life insurance products and practices. Insuring Life offers a critical engagement with the epistemology of life insurance to demonstrate the unnecessary and precarious character of the conditions that make this instrument of liberal governance possible. It concludes that the transcendence of liberalism relies on the technological agency of these instruments and that its challenge begins by redefining the terms under which the potential of life if invaluable is to be thought as event. The book follows Insuring War as the third of a trilogy that analyses how concepts and practices of power risk and security materialise in the form of insurance as a central instrument of governance in the liberal world. It will be of great use to scholars researchers and postgraduate students of political economy critical security studies and political theory the biopolitics of security and post-structural politics.

Accelerated Life Models Modeling and Statistical Analysis

Accelerated Life Models Modeling and Statistical Analysis

The authors of this monograph have developed a large and important class of survival analysis models that generalize most of the existing models. In a unified systematic presentation this monograph fully details those models and explores areas of accelerated life testing usually only touched upon in the literature. Accelerated Life Models: Modeling and Statistical Analysis presents models methods of data collection and statistical analysis for failure-time regression data in accelerated life testing and for degradation data with explanatory variables. In addition to the classical results the authors devote considerable attention to models with time-varying explanatory variables and to methods of semiparametric estimation. They also examine the simultaneous analysis of degradation and failure-time data when the intensities of failure in different modes depend on the level of degradation and the values of explanatory variables. The authors avoid technical details by explaining the ideas and referring to resources where thorough analysis can be found. Whether used for teaching research or general reference Accelerated Life Models: Modeling and Statistical Analysis provides new and known models and modern methods of accelerated life data analysis. | Accelerated Life Models Modeling and Statistical Analysis

Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Older people are like younger people citizens in the communities of the nations in which they live. This book sees ageing as a life journey that incorporates a process of citizening in which people build their identity as part of their family and community. But the social experience of illness frailty disability and reaching the end of life may de-citizen older people by devaluing the social identity that comes from continuing social engagement. We de-citizen older people by emphasizing dependence on services and their cost to public expenditure instead of valuing the interdependence of participation and mutual respect. This book argues that older people retain full citizenship for the whole of their lives up to the moment of death; but what does this mean for health and social care? In this groundbreaking book Malcolm Payne argues that social work with older people must build re-citizening practice strategies to value both the common and the special aspects of the citizenship of older people. Current models of social care and social work create dependency rather than relying on values of participative interdependence. The failure to recognize the end of life as a crucial element in all social care and social work for older people means that the lessons learned in providing palliative and end-of-life care in healthcare have not been transferred to social care and the priorities of end-of-life care have not been adequately encompassed in social work with older people. | Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life
