Further Studies in Industrial Organization

Further Studies in Industrial Organization

This book first published in 1948 examines four industries studied as part of the Nuffield College Reconstruction Survey begun in 1941.

Saving The Planet By Design Reinventing Our World Through Ecomimesis

Saving The Planet By Design Reinventing Our World Through Ecomimesis

Can we ‘save the Planet’? For a resilient durable and sustainable future for human society we need to repurpose reinvent redesign remake and recover our human-made world so that our built environment is benignly and seamlessly biointegrated with Nature to function synergistically with it. These are the multiple tasks that humanity must carry out imminently if there is to be a future for human society and all lifeforms and their environments on the Planet. Addressing this is the most compelling question for those whose daily work impacts on Nature such as architects engineers landscape architects town planners environmental policy makers builders and others but it is a question that all of humanity needs to urgently address. Presented here are two key principles as the means to carry out these tasks – ‘ecocentricity’ being guided by the science of ecology and ‘ecomimesis’ as designing and making the built environment including all artefacts based on the emulation and replication of the ‘ecosystem’ concept. Designing with ecology is contended here as the authentic approach to green design from which the next generation of green design will emerge going beyond current use of accreditation systems. For those who subscribe to this principle this is articulated here showing how it can be implemented by design. Adopting these principles is fundamental in our endeavour to save our Planet Earth and changes profoundly and in entirety the way we design make manage and operate our built environment. | Saving The Planet By Design Reinventing Our World Through Ecomimesis

On Dreams

On Dreams

Originally published in 1935 William Archer’s interest in dreams had persisted for over quarter of a century for ten years of which he kept a careful record of his own dreams. These records alone form a valuable collection of material of which Archer made good use in the writing of the book on dreams on which he was engaged at the time of his death; large parts of these dream-records are reproduced in this book. He left this book partly finished partly in draft and partly in the form of notes. In putting together this material the editor Theodore Besterman tries to carry out Archer’s intentions as closely as possible and believed that he represented the book as he would have wished it to appear. It was unquestionably an important contribution to a difficult subject at the time the result of many years’ study and reflection.

Norse Greenland: Viking Peasants in the Arctic

Norse Greenland: Viking Peasants in the Arctic

How could a community of 2000–3000 Viking peasants survive in Arctic Greenland for 430 years (ca. 985–1415) and why did they finally disappear? European agriculture in an Arctic environment encountered serious ecological challenges. The Norse peasants faced these challenges by adapting agricultural practices they had learned from the Atlantic and North Sea coast of Norway. Norse Greenland was the stepping stone for the Europeans who first discovered America and settled briefly in Newfoundland ca. AD 1000. The community had a global significance which surpassed its modest size. In the last decades scholars have been nearly unanimous in emphasising that long-term climatic and environmental changes created a situation where Norse agriculture was no longer sustainable and the community was ruined. A secondary hypothesis has focused on ethnic confrontations between Norse peasants and Inuit hunters. In the last decades ethnic violence has been on the rise in Eastern Europe the Middle East and parts of Africa. In some cases it has degenerated into ethnic cleansing. This has strengthened the interest in ethnic violence in past societies. Challenging traditional hypotheses is a source of progress in all science. The present book does this on the basis of relevant written and archaeological material respecting the methodology of both sciences. | Norse Greenland: Viking Peasants in the Arctic

Discovering Françoise Dolto Psychoanalysis Identity and Child Development

Discovering Françoise Dolto Psychoanalysis Identity and Child Development

This psychobiographical study of the renowned French pediatrician and psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto introduces both her theories of child development and her unique insights into language and identity. A friend of Jacques Lacan’s Dolto believed that we are all humanized through language and that the words we use carry unconscious traces of our early histories of love suffering and desire. Suggesting that infants unconsciously symbolize and that a continuous circulation of unconscious affects—the transference—prevails in all language-based relations her findings challenge assumptions about autism autobiography linguistics literacy pedagogy and therapy. Dolto’s own corpus—a rich archive blending the personal and professional—demonstrates this with echoes between Dolto’s constructs about the child and her own challenging childhood. This fascinating book will not only introduce the work of Françoise Dolto to many readers but will be a valuable resource for all psychoanalytic researchers and theorists interested in childhood language and identity. | Discovering Françoise Dolto Psychoanalysis Identity and Child Development

Roads and Anthropology Ethnography Infrastructures (Im)mobility

Roads and Anthropology Ethnography Infrastructures (Im)mobility

Roads and the powerful sense of mobility that they promise carry us back and forth between the sweeping narratives of globalisation and the specific tangible materialities of particular times and places. Indeed despite the fact that roads might by comparison with the sparkling agility of virtual technologies appear to be grounded in twentieth century industrial political economy they could arguably be taken as the paradigmatic material infrastructure of the twenty-first century supporting both the information society (in the ever increasing circulation of commoditized goods and labour) and the extractive economies of developing countries on which the production and reproduction of such goods and labour depends. Roads and Anthropology is the first collection of road ethnographies edited by two pioneers in the anthropological explorations of infrastructures the essays published in the book aim to pave the way for this rising field of anthropological research. This book was published as a special issue of Mobilities. | Roads and Anthropology Ethnography Infrastructures (Im)mobility

The Ethics of Climate Engineering Solar Radiation Management and Non-Ideal Justice

The Ethics of Climate Engineering Solar Radiation Management and Non-Ideal Justice

This book analyzes major ethical issues surrounding the use of climate engineering particularly solar radiation management (SRM) techniques which have the potential to reduce some risks of anthropogenic climate change but also carry their own risks of harm and injustice. The book argues that we should approach the ethics of climate engineering via non-ideal theory which investigates what justice requires given the fact that many parties have failed to comply with their duty to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically it argues that climate justice should be approached comparatively evaluating the relative justice or injustice of feasible policies under conditions that are likely to hold within relevant timeframes. Likely near-future conditions include pessimistic scenarios in which no available option avoids serious ethical problems. The book contends that certain uses of SRM can be ethically defensible in some pessimistic scenarios. This is the first book devoted to the many ethical issues surrounding climate engineering. | The Ethics of Climate Engineering Solar Radiation Management and Non-Ideal Justice

The End of Morality Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously

The End of Morality Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously

According to the moral error theorist all moral judgments are mistaken. The world just doesn’t contain the properties and relations necessary for these judgments to be true. But what should we actually do if we decided that we are in this radical and unsettling predicament—that morality is just a widespread and heartfelt illusion? One suggestion is to eliminate all talk and thought of morality (abolitionism). Another is to carry on believing it anyway (conservationism). And yet another is to treat morality as a kind of convenient fiction (fictionalism). We tend to think of moral thinking as valuable and useful (e. g. for motivating cooperative behavior) but we can also recognize that it can be harmful (e. g. hindering compromise) and even disastrous (e. g. inspiring support for militaristic propaganda). Would we be better off or worse off if we stopped basing decisions on moral considerations?This is a collection of twelve brand new chapters focused on a critical examination of the options available to the moral error theorist. After a general introduction outlining the topic explaining key terminology and offering suggestions for further reading the chapters address questions like:• Is it true that the more that people are motivated by moral concerns the more likely it is that society will be elitist authoritarian and dishonest?• Is an appeal to moral values a useful tool for helping resolve conflicts or does it actually exacerbate conflicts?• Would it even be possible to abolish morality from our thinking? • If we were to accept a moral error theory would it be feasible to carry on believing in morality in everyday contexts?• Might moral discourse be usefully modeled on familiar metaphorical language where we can convey useful and important truths by uttering falsehoods?• Does moral thinking support or undermine a commitment to feminist goals?• What role do moral judgments play in addressing important decisions affecting climate change?The End of Morality: Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously is the first book to thoroughly address these and other questions systematically investigating the harms and benefits of moral thought and considering what the world might be like without morality. | The End of Morality Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously
