Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean (1986) is a comparative and systematic study of the legacies bequeathed by British and French colonial rule in the Caribbean. It examines in detail what are self-evidently among the more tangible legacies from the era of slavery presently manifest in the region: the pattern structure and decline of the sugar economy in the French and Commonwealth Caribbean; the continuing influence of Britain in the pre- and post-independence political systems of the Commonwealth Caribbean as well as of France over its Caribbean possessions; and the retention and adaptation of cultural forms derived from colonial practice as variously exhibited in the educational and ideological beliefs current within the region. These essays offer provocative insights and report intriguing parallels between the British and French experiences in the region. They also offer new interpretations of the processes at work in the area and confirm the utility of the comparative approach in appraising its problems. | Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion GBP 90.00 1
Dual Pandemics Creating Racially-Just Responses to a Changing Environment through Research Practice and Education Dual Pandemics: Creating Racially Just Responses to a Changing Environment through Research Practice and Education commits to promoting and disseminating knowledge that calls for the dismantling of systemic racism and creating racially just responses to the dual pandemics. COVID-19 and anti-racist uprisings as a result of the murders of Mr. George Floyd and many other African Americans and other people of color due to police violence has unprecedented impact on our society.

Imagery and Verbal Processes First published in 1978. In this book the author has attempted to present a systematic theoretical and factual account of the role of higher mental processes in human learning and memory and certain aspects of the psychology of perception and language. The major orienting theme of the book is its dual emphasis on nonverbal imagery and verbal processes (inner speech) as memory codes and mediators of behavior. Based on recent experimental evidence the conceptual approach in a sense represents an integration of pre-behavioristic and behavioristic views concerning the nature of thought. The book is intended both as a textbook and as a theoretical monograph. GBP 175.00 1

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume I: Fairy-Tale Revivals: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Revivals This collection opens with marginalized responses to the highly politicized Cinderella traditions in the Anglophone world. In the United States Cinderella was incorporated into the gendered narrative of the American Dream and narratives of empire in the colonial world particularly in the mid-1800s. Marginalized writers have responded to these nationalistic colonial traditions in two distinctive ways: clever Cinderellas who negotiate a broken system or passive Cinderellas who die as anti-heroes in disenchanting fairy tales. This dual tradition of marginalized Cinderellas is also apparent across the Anglophone world. Potential texts include the out-of-print works of Sinèad de Valera excerpts from the novels of Hannah Crafts Jessie Fauset and Julia Kavanagh along with dramas by Ann Devlin and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume I: Fairy-Tale Revivals: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Revivals GBP 110.00 1

China's Economic Development Implications for the World Cai Fang is one of China’s most distinguished economists. This book elucidates the worldwide significance of China’s economic development over the past 70 years from the perspectives of economic history and growth theory. The Chinese economy has undergone an unprecedented period of growth and development since the reform and opening-up in the late 1970s; a process which the hallmarks of neoclassic economic theory have often proved inadequate to explain. Examining the Chinese economy in the light of Chinese history and the development of the world economy as a whole the book charts the milestones and critical reforms of China’s economic development providing insights into unique attributes as well as more generic patterns. The discussion covers multiple hot topics in the field including the so-called Great Divergence dual-sector economic development real-world experience of the reform and opening-up rural reform urbanization economic reform poverty reduction the latter day slowdown of China’s economic growth and China¡¯s role in and response to globalization global supply domination and other headwinds.

Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory In the age of big data evidence keeps suggesting that small elusive and infrequent details make all the difference in our appreciation of humanistic texts—film fiction and philosophy. This book argues from a cross-disciplinary perspective that expertise in humanistic translation is precisely the capacity to capture those details that are bigger than they seem. In humanistic translation the expert handling of big details usually serves audiences and the original but mala fide translation also works the details for subtle manipulation and audience deception. A focus on textual detail is therefore characteristic of humanistic translators but also compatible with central claims of the cultural turn in translation studies. This book written by a scholar and teacher of literary essayistic and audiovisual translation endeavors to articulate a seemingly dual interest—on textual detail and cultural analysis—as a single one. It theorizes connections between micro and macro analysis between translation as detail and translation as culture thus hoping to build bridges between humanistic translators and translation scholars. It acknowledges tensions between practice and theory and proposes a way forward: practitioners and scholars share ways of thinking—varieties of part-whole thinking—that machines can never acquire. | Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory GBP 130.00 1
Curating with Care This book presents over 20 authors’ reflections on ‘curating care’ – and presents a call to give curatorial attention to the primacy of care for all life and for more ‘caring curating’ that responds to the social ecological and political analysis of curatorial caregiving. Social and ecological struggles for a different planetary culture based on care and respect for the dignity of life are reflected in contemporary curatorial practices that explore human and non-human interdependence. The prevalence of themes of care in curating is a response to a dual crisis: the crisis of social and ecological care that characterizes global politics and the professional crisis of curating under the pressures of the increasingly commercialized cultural landscape. Foregrounding that all beings depend on each other for life and survival this book collects theoretical essays methodological challenges and case studies from curators working in different global geographies to explore the range of ways in which curatorial labour is rendered as care. Practising curators activists and theorists situate curatorial labour in the context of today’s general care crisis. This volume answers to the call to more fully understand how their transformative work allows for imagining the future of bodily social and environmental care and the ethics of interdependency differently. | Curating with Care GBP 120.00 1
Corporate Women in Contemporary China “We’ve Always Worked” Based on extensive multi-sited ethnographic research this book focuses on the culture of work in today’s urban China and on how it has permeated beyond the workplace to shape bodily training family life and kinship and social relationships among white-collar women in their twenties and thirties. Facing challenges to cope with the increasingly intensified dual burden of work and family whitecollar women are not turning their backs on their jobs but are turning their bodies and homes into work. In an era when the state and society heighten pressure on individual young women’s productivity and reproductivity at the same time the book examines how white-collar women seek to protect their right to work embody a work ethic and make their reproductive life a productive domain. Integrating studies of labor the body gender and kinship this book shows how the ethics and strictly defined discipline of hard work and overtime work are transposed from the office cubicle to the gym and home. It thereby demonstrates how the emergence embodiment and extension of a work culture perpetuate the hegemony of the work ethic and how they have exerted a profound impact on women’s bodies selves and lives. | Corporate Women in Contemporary China “We’ve Always Worked” GBP 130.00 1
The Theory of Statistical Implicative Analysis Or the Implausibility of Falsehood ... When the Exception Confirms the Rule This book summarizes the methods and concepts of Statistical Implicative Analysis (SIA) created by Régis Gras in the 1980s to study in a new way the behavioural responses of French pupils to mathematics tests. Using a multidimensional non-symmetrical data analysis method SIA crosses a set of subjects or objects with a set of variables. It effectively complements traditional correlational and psychometric methods. SIA through its various extensions is today presented as a broad Artificial Intelligence method aimed at extracting trends and possible causalities in the form of rules from a set of variables. It is based on the unlikeliness of the existence of these relationships i. e. on the relative weakness of their counter-examples compared to what chance alone would produce. It establishes a dual topological relationship between the set of subjects and the set of variables. Many applications of this approach driving forces or crucibles for the development of SIA have concerned and still concern various fields such as didactics evaluation and assessment psychology sociology medicine biology economics art history and others. Key Features: Presents the foundations and representations of SIA Provides extensions of variable sets and subjects Includes a bonus exercise | The Theory of Statistical Implicative Analysis Or the Implausibility of Falsehood .

Personal Safety for Health Care Workers This book is aimed at employers managers and professional and administrative staff in the health care services. GP practices home visits and the hospital are all covered. Despite growing evidence of violence against health care workers some employers have been slow to acknowledge the risks faced in both primary and secondary health care settings. Personal Safety for Health Care Workers provides the tools to investigate the risks involved and to develop policy and practice to ensure staff safety. It also deals with the vexed question of under-reporting. Part I deals with the respective roles and responsibilities of employers and employees and offers guidance on developing a workplace personal safety policy. Workplace design and management are addressed and guidelines provided for health care workers when away from their normal work base. Part 2 gives detailed guidelines for use by individual workers in a variety of work situations. Part 3 considers training issues and contains a number of sample training programmes with handouts. The message of this book is that prevention is better than cure - proper attention to risk can reduce both the incidence of aggression and its development into violent acts. The aim is to achieve the dual effect of protecting health care workers and also of providing services in a more sensitive way. Good practice implies a responsibility to ensure that health care can be delivered in conditions of safety for staff and patients alike. GBP 175.00 1

Solar Power and Energy Storage Systems Extensive study of solar energy is increasing as fast as the threat of global warming is getting serious. Solar energy is considered the best source of renewable energy because it is clean and unlimited. Solar radiation can be harnessed and converted into different forms of energy that does not pollute the environment. In order to transform solar radiation we need collectors of sunlight such as solar cells. The main challenges are energy security the increasing prices of carbon-based energy sources and global warming. We cannot use sunlight during the night so an energy storage system (ESS) is necessary. The best ESS is one with high power and high energy density. This book introduces the basic concepts of an ESS. Written by Prof. Hee-Je Kim who leads an interdisciplinary team at the Pusan National University this book compiles and details the cutting-edge research that is revolutionizing solar energy by improving its efficiency and storage techniques through the development of engineered sunlight. It discusses the fabrication and commercialization of next-generation solar cells such as dye-synthesized quantum-dot and perovskite solar cells besides describing the high-energy and power-density-flexible supercapacitor for a hybrid ESS as well as the dual active bridge (DAB) DC/DC converter MPPT PV inverter and remote control by a smartphone with a novel algorithm for a power-conditioning system. | Solar Power and Energy Storage Systems GBP 116.00 1
