The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos

The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos

First published in 2002. This book explores the philosophical social and aesthetic implications of twentieth-century America's obsession with eliminating waste. Through interdisciplinary engagement with fiction and popular culture William Little traces the way this obsession finds expression in powerful social forces (e. g. the drive to consume conspicuously; the Progressive-era campaign to manage scientifically; the current demand to reduce reuse recycle) and shows how such forces are governed by an idealism that links proper treatment of waste with the promise of salvation. | The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos

Measuring Global Migration Towards Better Data for All

Measuring Global Migration Towards Better Data for All

This book focuses on how to improve the collection analysis and responsible use of data on global migration and international mobility. While migration remains a topic of great policy interest for governments around the world there is a serious lack of reliable timely disaggregated and comparable data on it and often insufficient safeguards to protect migrants’ information. Meanwhile vast amounts of data about the movement of people are being generated in real time due to new technologies but these have not yet been fully captured and utilized by migration policymakers who often do not have enough data to inform their policies and programmes. The lack of migration data has been internationally recognized; the Global Compact for Safe Orderly and Regular Migration urges all countries to improve data on migration to ensure that policies and programmes are “evidence-based” but does not spell out how this could be done. This book examines both the technical issues associated with improving data on migration and the wider political challenges of how countries manage the collection and use of migration data. The first part of the book discusses how much we really know about international migration based on existing data and key concepts and approaches which are often used to measure migration. The second part of the book examines what measures could be taken to improve migration data highlighting examples of good practice from around the world in recent years across a range of different policy areas such as health climate change and sustainable development more broadly. Written by leading experts on international migration data this book is the perfect guide for students policymakers and practitioners looking to understand more about the existing evidence base on migration and what can be done to improve it. | Measuring Global Migration Towards Better Data for All

The First Interview with a Psychiatrist and the Unconscious Psychology of All Interviews

The First Interview with a Psychiatrist and the Unconscious Psychology of All Interviews

Originally published in 1955 the blurb read: 'Again in this book the author expounds his main thesis – perhaps the main thesis of all modern psychiatry – namely that our conscious pre-occupations thoughts and behaviour are merely the products or symptoms of a process that is going on within us (basically a physiological process) of which we are totally unconscious. Although we are at pains to conceal from ourselves and others and even vehemently to deny the nature and the very existence of this fundamental unconscious process it is nevertheless the determinant of all that is us biologically psychologically and sociologically. In the author’s own words: It is the force behind all activity all life. It exists unseen in the most apparently superficial human relationship even in the interview – as this book will show. It alone can give us the meaning of what we do and feel. The theoretical section of the book deals with the interviewer and the unconscious forces which determine the effects and the therapeutic results of the interview. The longer practical section demonstrates by abundant examples from clinical material and by complete documentaries of actual psychiatric interviews that it is unconscious forces which determine the patient’s symptomatic picture his behaviour his attitude to life and above all his emotional relationship to the psychiatrist – and indeed to everyone he meets in every personal contact. The elucidation of this process should be of the utmost interest and of the utmost practical value to each of us in our every contact superficial or deep with every human being whom we meet in the course of our lives. The book will appeal to a wide public. Although it demonstrates the deepest and most worthwhile aspect of modern psychology and psychiatry it avoids technical jargon and is written in a cheerful lively and lucid style easily assimilable by everybody. ' Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1955. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | The First Interview with a Psychiatrist and the Unconscious Psychology of All Interviews

All the Queen’s Jewels 1445–1548 Power Majesty and Display

All the Queen’s Jewels 1445–1548 Power Majesty and Display

From Margaret of Anjou to Katherine Parr All the Queen’s Jewels examines the jewellery collections of the ten queen consorts of England between 1445–1548 and investigates the collections of jewels a queen had access to as well as the varying contexts in which queens used and wore jewels. The jewellery worn by queens reflected both their gender and their status as the first lady of the realm. Jewels were more than decorative adornments; they were an explicit display of wealth majesty and authority. They were often given to queens by those who wished to seek her favour or influence and were also associated with key moments in their lifecycle. These included courtship and marriage successfully negotiating childbirth (and thus providing dynastic continuity) and their elevation to queenly status or coronation. This book explores the way that queens acquired jewels whether via their predecessor their own commission or through gift giving. It underscores that jewels were a vital tool that enabled queens to shape their identities as consort and to fashion images of power that could be seen by their households court and contemporaries. This book is perfect for anyone interested in medieval and Tudor history queenship jewellery and the history of material culture. | All the Queen’s Jewels 1445–1548 Power Majesty and Display

All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities

All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities

Native Americans suffer disproportionately from many social and health disparities. High rates of poverty exposure to environmental toxins and various forms of violence all increase the risk of health problems including disabilities yet there is very little published scholarship concerning Native American experiences with disabilities. In collecting contributions on various aspects of disability in Native American populations in one volume this book seeks to redress this lack of attention. Writing about regions of the United States Canada and Australia and spanning a diverse range of settings from remote rural areas to reservations to college campuses the authors are attentive to the impact of specific environments on their inhabitants. Taking into account both physical and social environment and recognizing the importance of cultural context this book is a good starting point for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of the experience of Native peoples living with disabilities. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in Disability & Rehabilitation. | All My Relations: Understanding the Experiences of Native Americans with Disabilities
