The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities presents a series of ethnographic studies focusing on the local cultures of mobilities and immobilities emphasizing the everyday sense of contingency and heterogeneity that accompanies them. Compensating for the excess of theory and criticism based on the notion of 'hypermobilities' this book sheds light on the nuanced differences and idiosyncrasies of mobility with a view to rediscovering meanings and lifestyles marked by movement and immobility. Original empirical and global case studies are presented by an international team of scholars exploring the complex negotiated and contingent nature of the social worlds of movement. By avoiding sweeping generalizations on the deeply connected and readily mobile nature of society as a whole this volume sheds light on the diversity of mobility modes in an accessible and interdisciplinary form that will be of key interest to sociologists geographers and scholars of human mobility communication and culture. | The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less rewrites the book on business and the environment. For the last thirty years corporate sustainability was synonymous with the pursuit of ‘eco-efficiency’ and ‘win-win’ opportunities. The notion of ‘eco-efficiency’ gives us the illusion that we can achieve environmental sustainability without having to question the pursuit of never-ending economic growth. The ‘win-win’ paradigm is meant to assure us that companies can be protectors of the environment whilst also being profit maximizers. It is abundantly clear that the state of the natural environment has further degraded instead of improved. This book introduces a new paradigm designed to finally reconcile business and the environment. It is called ‘net green’ which means that in these times of ecological overshoot businesses need to reduce total environmental impact and not just improve the eco-efficiency of their products. The book also introduces and explains the four pollution prevention principles ‘again’ ‘different’ ‘less’ and ‘labor not materials’. Together ‘net green’ and the four pollution prevention principles provide a road map for businesses and for every household to a world in which human prosperity and a healthy environment are no longer at odds. The Business of Less is full of anecdotes and examples. This brings its material to life and makes the book not only very accessible but also hugely applicable for everyone who is worried about the fate of our planet and is looking for answers. | The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

Sustainability and Degradation in Less Developed Countries Immolating the Future?

Sustainability and Degradation in Less Developed Countries Immolating the Future?

This title was first published in 2002. The concept of sustainable development has increasingly gained currency as a policy determination tool yet its interpretation and application is widely contested especially with respect to the role of economics in the facilitation of environmentally and socially sustainable outcomes. Sarah Lumley assesses some of the fundamental assumptions of mainstream economic theory as part of an analysis of farmers' motives in adopting soil conservation on degraded lands in the Philippines. The text has a strong focus on the theoretical and practical interactions between environmental economic and social aspects of sustainable development; it is both multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary and draws on conceptually important points of each discipline that it encompasses. | Sustainability and Degradation in Less Developed Countries Immolating the Future?

Typographia or The Printer's Instructor

Typographia or The Printer's Instructor

Published in 1981: Authors of early English and American printers's manuals casually appropriated text from their predecessors. The practice common enough not to require explanation or acknowledgement ( much less apology) was documented by Lawrence C. Wroth in 1935. Citing borrowed passages and devising a literary family tree Wroth measured the original work of typographical writers from Moxon to De Vinne with much more praise for them but with less for those in between. The author who whose Typographia is reprinted here was found to be the worst and boldest of offenders. | Typographia or The Printer's Instructor

Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

This second volume considers various socialist impulses and developments after the collapse of the Owenite movement in Britain. Interventions by some leading Christian Socialists will illuminate one important tendency; publications by O’Brien another less vital strand. Central to this volume however will be far less well-known pamphlets book extracts and articles in the periodical press by national and local co-operative writers and activists who appropriated and transformed the legacy of utopian socialism in the second half of the nineteenth century. Old Owenites are naturally included though more emphasis is given to reworkings by a younger generation of co-operators now mostly forgotten. The volume will also cover relationships and controversies between co-operators and late nineteenth century state socialists who attempted to portray the co-operative movement as merely diversionary for the working class. | Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

Strategies for Growing and Enhancing University-Level Japanese Programs

Strategies for Growing and Enhancing University-Level Japanese Programs

Strategies for Growing and Enhancing University-Level Japanese Programs offers foreign language program managers and directors as well as teachers of less commonly taught languages the insights and proven practical actions they can take to enhance and grow their language programs. Using the Japanese program at UNC Charlotte as the primary case study author Fumie Kato provides step-by-step instructions on how she grew the Japanese program there from 133 students per semester in 2002 to 515 students per semester in 2017; from a program with just one full-time professor and one part-time faculty member to a faculty of seven full-time and three part-time members. While Japanese is the example used in the book the principles can be applied by anyone managing foreign language/less commonly taught language programs who wishes to expand their program and raise their students’ success rates. The book is therefore of interest to instructors coordinators and directors of foreign language education programs throughout the world.

Figural Synthesis

Figural Synthesis

The aim of this book originally published in 1984 was to bring together a number of approaches to this important topic. Significant advances had been made in the two decades before publication in our understanding of many aspects of the coding that occurs along the visual pathways. The major developments had been associated with probing the nature of logical processes whether physiologically or psychophysically and relatively less attention had been devoted to the problem of how such locally coded knowledge is put together to yield coherent representations of spatially (and temporally) extended patterns – that is to figural synthesis. Thus while a great deal was known about the responses of individual cells in the visual system to controlled stimulation and about the specificity of the orientational and spatial-frequency tuning of channels assessed psychophysically there had been much less discussion of how such knowledge could be brought to bear on the general problems of understanding pattern recognition.

The Injustice of Punishment

The Injustice of Punishment

The Injustice of Punishment emphasizes that we can never make sense of moral responsibility while also acknowledging that punishment is sometimes unavoidable. Recognizing both the injustice and the necessity of punishment is painful but also beneficial. It motivates us to find effective means of minimizing both the use and severity of punishment and encourages deeper inquiry into the causes of destructive behavior and how to change those causes in order to reduce the need for punishment. There is an emerging alternative to the comfortable but destructive system of moral responsibility and just deserts. That alternative is not the creation of philosophers but of sociologists criminologists psychologists and workplace engineers; it was developed tested and employed in factories prisons hospitals and other settings; and it is writ large in the practices of cultures that minimize belief in individual moral responsibility. The alternative marks a promising path to less punishment less coercive control deeper common commitment and more genuine freedom.

Contested Hospitalities in a Time of Migration Religious and Secular Counterspaces in the Nordic Region

Contested Hospitalities in a Time of Migration Religious and Secular Counterspaces in the Nordic Region

This book explores the duality of openness and restriction in approaches to migrants in the Nordic countries. As borders have become less permeable to non-Europeans it presents research on civil society practices that oppose the existing border regimes and examine the values that they express. The volume offers case studies from across the region that demonstrate opposition to increasingly restricted borders and which seek to offer hospitality to migrant. One topic is whether these practices impact and transform the Nordic Protestant trajectory. The book considers whether such actions are indicative of new sensibilities and values in which traditional categories and binaries are becoming less relevant. It also discusses what these practices of hospitality indicate about the changing relationship between voluntary organizations and the Nordic welfare states in the time of migration. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology anthropology and religious studies with interests in migration civil society resistance and social values. | Contested Hospitalities in a Time of Migration Religious and Secular Counterspaces in the Nordic Region
