Nature's Ideological Landscape A Literary and Geographic Perspective on its Development and Preservation on Denmark's Jutland Heath

Originally published in 1984 Nature’s Ideological Language examines the common ideological roots of environmental reclamation and nature preservation. In the general context of European British and American historical experience the Jutland heaths of Denmark are taken as a concrete example for a general critique of European and American policy concerning the use of landscape. Two sets of contradictions are highlighted: ideological and practical between development and preservation; and those between scientific historical aesthetic and recreational motivation for preservation. The book is based on a study of the Jutland heath from 1750 to the present focusing on the Danish perception of the area as expressed in literary art and in economic journals topographies and government reports. Against this background the development of the modern conception of nature is traced and its ideological implications and planning consequences discussed. As a study of humanistic geography this book will be of interest to geographers conservationists and planners. | Nature's Ideological Landscape A Literary and Geographic Perspective on its Development and Preservation on Denmark's Jutland Heath

The Life and Literary Pursuits of Allen Davenport

First published in 1994 this volume features an autobiography of Allen Davenport a key figure linking Chartism with the French Revolution along with some of his selected works. Davenport was an important propagandist for agrarian reform a critical follower of Robert Owen one of the first male supporters of the feminist causes and birth control and a leading member of the revolutionary underground movement in Regency London. He was a prolific author political journalist and poet. His autobiography published in 1845 has long been presumed lost - historians have had to make do with tantalising fragments from contemporary reviews. When a copy was found in Nashville in 1982 it was immediately recognised as a unique source of information about nineteenth-century popular politics. This volume reprints the complete text with editorial apparatus and supplemented by a careful selection of Davenport's other writing by Dr Malcolm Chase. The Life and Literary Pursuits of Allen Davenport thus gives a unique insight into the cultural and political life of England in the crowded years between Peterloo and Chartism.

Preparation for Life? Vocationalism and the Equal Opportunities Challenge

First published in 1997 this volume contributes to the debate on the ground-breaking Technical and Vocational Education Initiative (TVEI) introduced by Margaret Thatcher by exploring the implications of its equal opportunities policy. The scheme was announced in 1982 piloted in 1983 extended nationally in 1987 and ended in 1997. It responded to criticisms that the education system was failing to meet the needs of employers and committed to equal opportunities for boys and girls along with increasing access to technology at the genesis of the computing era. The TVEI represented the first major intervention by central Government in curriculum development in England and was organised on a local authority level. The author Sue Heath had experienced mixed messages for what students of each gender could expect to achieve and she remained fascinated by the implications of the TVEI for 1980s school curriculums. Based on research begun in 1989 the volume reassesses the significance of the TEVI as a landmark policy in education. Heath examines areas including vocationalism the issue of gender implementing the TVEI locally the curricular experiences of TVEI pupils and whether the TVEI succeeded in preparing students for the world of work and later life. | Preparation for Life?

Beyond Liberalism

In Beyond Nihilism Michael Polanyi argued that a merely negative liberty of doing as one pleases so long as one does not impinge upon the equal liberty of others - must and has led to destructive nihilism and a fierce reaction to collectivism. R. T. Allen takes up this argument in Beyond Liberalism and shows how Polanyi's political philosophy evolved into a more positive and distinctly conservative concept of liberty converging upon the archetypal conservatism of Edmund Burke. Allen examines Polanyi's and F. A. Hayek's thinking with respect to the nature value and foundations of liberty. Negative and positive liberties are two sides of one liberty and Allen believes negative conceptions of liberty are as dangerous as positive ones. He distinguishes among general and abstract definitions of liberty and shows how all including that of Hayek ultimately dissolve. According to Allen only tacit conceptions of liberty such as those of Burke and Polanyi prove viable. This is because they rest on concrete tradition. Allen examines how the skeptical rationalist and utilitarian philosophies of Ludwig von Mises and Sir Karl Popper fail to support the value of liberty and even proved to be destructive of it. Allen argues that society cannot rely upon the classically liberal notion of contract but rather upon prescriptive and inherited obligations. In turn this means that citizens have positive as well as negative duties to each other and the body politic of which they are part and upon whose support liberty depends. A free society is held together by emotional bonds and the traditions and rituals that sustain them. A free society also presupposes that the individual has inherent value in and for himself. For R. T. Allen only Christianity and certainly no modern philosophy has a conception of the unique individual and his irreplaceable value and of a political order that transcends itself into the moral order. Even Polanyi's liberty is ultimately insufficient for it gives no inherent value to the person himself but instead to the ideals which he serves. Beyond Liberalism challenges deeply ingrained notions of liberty and its meaning in modern society. It is a call for traditions of self-restraint and justice for their own sakes. This noteworthy volume is an essential addition to the libraries of political scientists philosophers and theologians alike.

Mircea Eliade Myth Religion and History

Mircea Eliade (1907�1986) was one of the twentieth century's foremost students of religion and cultural environments. This book examines the emergence function and value of religion and myth in his work. Nicolae Babuts Robert Ellwood Eric Ziolkowski John Dadosky Robert Segal Mac Linscott Ricketts Douglas Allen and Liviu Borda examine Eliade's views on the interaction between the sacred and the profane. Each explores Eliade's phenomenological approach to the study of religion and myth. They show that modern rites of initiation cultural activities and spectacles like bullfighting film and perhaps surprisingly reading and writing all harken back to the archetypal structures of the mythical imagination. Perhaps the greatest achievement of Eliade's phenomenological approach is that it reveals what we have in common with pre-Socratic man: the mind's structural capacity to endow objects and events with spiritual values and meanings. As a study of Eliade's concept of the mythic imagination the book posits an analogy between the myths of the past and modern imitations. The authors suggest that in spite of their differences and their separate historical sources myths represent basic structures of human consciousness. This book is essential reading for all students of religion philosophy and literature. | Mircea Eliade Myth Religion and History

Technology and Terrorism

In this volume thirteen authors from all points of the English-speaking world provide a tour of the entwined labyrinths of technology and terrorism. They describe terrorism as an epistemological contact sport. With espionage one can often deduce from a few pieces of the puzzle a plan's goals and its roots its sources. But the goals of terrorists are both vague and hopelessly specific while their means are restrained by rational institutional thought. Thus terrorists can be equally expected to flail out without any thought at all as a child might exhibit in a temper tantrum and to be hyper-rational probing at the edges of the target for any weakness. Therefore how terrorists use technology may not be determined by any particular level of technology but in the probabilities for the target's expectation and defense regarding particular technologies. Fred Allen asks why Bin Laden and his organization were effective against the Russians but may have more trouble with free societies. Edward Tenner muses on the ironies of low-tech attacks and the dangers of over-reliance on high-tech sophistication. Such thoughts are tempered by direct and unreassuring reportage from the federal security front. Ann Larabee turns the telescope around with a history showing that bomb-throwing is as American as apple pie. Toby Blyth takes us inside the theorists' backroom for a look at the ever-mutating ways means and motives of war. It used to be about power money land resources or the ever-popular Pamir Knot Great Game. Now it seems that globalization has coughed up groups of people with little in common except for simultaneous feelings of helplessness and cultural superiority. Modern technology which once seemed to hold only promise now seems to harbor the potential for danger and destruction. The contributors to this volume are interested in the broader culture and how terrorism affects that culture-including how people go about researching terrorism.

The Politics of Ponzi Schemes History Theory and Policy

In the space of three years from 2009 to 2012 Bernie Madoff Tom Petters and R. Allen Stanford were all convicted for running multi-billion dollar Ponzi schemes. These three schemes alone have had the largest financial take in U. S. history. But what role does the economy and legislation play in the occurrences of Ponzi schemes? What is the nature of Ponzi schemes and what are their tools and mechanisms? What can we know about Ponzi perpetrators? Unraveling the answers to these questions (and many more) Marie Springer provides the first representative portrait of Ponzi schemes their perpetrators and their victims. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach she begins by presenting an overview of different types of Ponzi schemes. She later explores perpetrators and victims of Ponzi schemes followed by a close examination of economic trends regulatory changes and the financial relationship with Ponzi schemes. Other key features include: • A non-technical overview of both offender based and offense-based approaches of studying this form of fraud. • Examples of Ponzi schemes and Ponzi schemers. • A wealth of descriptive statistics on known federal cases from the 1960s until the present to quantify this specific form of fraud.

Deficits Debt and American Politics Paper Shackles

For most of the history of the United States periods of growing indebtedness—a product of wars and economic crises—were followed by reductions in the debt-to-GDP ratio. But why have the last several decades failed to follow this pattern leaving the national debt at its highest level since World War II? In this groundbreaking new book author Marc Allen Eisner who has devoted most of his scholarly career to studying the evolution of the US political economy explores the significant changes in the fiscal conditions of the United States during the postwar period embedding the discussion in a broader historical context. He demonstrates that the national debt is in part a product of reduced revenues and the growing costs of the largest entitlement programs but it also reflects a long series of shocks including two wars the financial crisis and Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. Deficits Debt and American Politics chronicles the history of the US debt in the postwar period placed in the context of broader changes in the political economy and partisan politics. But it grounds this exploration in reader-friendly chapter-length discussions of public finance taxation mandatory spending and the budgetary process from a policy perspective. The volume concludes with a discussion of the challenges of comprehensive tax and program reforms in the current political climate. Deficits Debt and American Politics assumes little prior knowledge on the part of the reader making it an ideal book for courses on public policy and political economy taught at both the upper-level undergraduate and graduate level. The material on public finance long-term trends in taxation and spending and the budgetary process often relegated to descriptive texts will be invaluable in courses engaging the deficit and debt. | Deficits Debt and American Politics Paper Shackles

English Urban Commons The Past Present and Future of Green Spaces

This book presents a novel examination of urban commons which provides a robust base for education initiatives and future public policy guidance on the protection and use of urban commons as invaluable urban green spaces that offer a diverse cultural and ecological resource for future communities. This book's central argument is that only through a deep understanding of the past and a rigorous engagement with present users can we devise new futures or imaginaries of culture well-being and diversity for the urban commons. It argues that understanding the genesis of and interactions between the different pressures on urban green space has important policy implications for the delivery of nature conservation recreational access and other land use priorities. The stakeholders in today’s urban commons whether land users policy makers or the public are the inheritors of a complex cultural legacy and must negotiate diverse and sometimes conflicting objectives in their pursuit of a potentially unifying goal: a secure future for our urban commons. This book offers a unique and strongly interdisciplinary study of urban commons one that brings together original historical investigation contemporary legal scholarship extensive oral history research with user groups and research examining the imagined futures for the urban common in modern society. It explores the complex social and political history of the urban common as well as its legal and cultural status today using four diverse case studies from within England as exemplars of the distinctively urban common. These are Town Moor in Newcastle Mousehold Heath in Norwich Clifton and Durdham Downs in Bristol and Valley Gardens in Brighton. This book concludes by looking forward and considering new tools and methods of negotiation inclusivity and creativity to inform the future of these case studies and of urban commons more widely. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the commons green spaces urban planning environmental and urban geography environmental studies and natural resource management.

Insect Diets Science and Technology Second Edition

Dr. Allen Carson Cohen’s new edition of Insect Diets: Science and Technology continues to provide a current integrated review of the field of insect diets. It reaffirms and expands upon the belief that the science of diet development and the technology of diet application in rearing programs require formal foundations and guidelines. Cohen argues for a data-driven approach as well as a focus on humane treatment in insect rearing programs. He also calls for academics and industries to make a new push toward statistical process control (SPC) in their approaches to rearing in general using his own work with insects as a paradigm. This approach yields the benefits of careful scientific analysis by addressing issues of quality and efficiency in academic research and industrial practices and applications. See What’s New in the Second Edition:This edition expands upon the role of food science in the use of artificial diets in rearing programs especially texture analysis with rheological techniques. It includes an entirely new chapter focused solely on the subject of food quality in insect diets. The book also revisits microbial relationships to insect diets as a powerful influence on their feeding processes and emphasizes a new better understanding and utilization of the relationship between insects and microbes in artificial diets. Cohen also expands his vision of the future of insect rearing including the use of insects themselves as a potential food source for a rapidly expanding global human population. To that end this book gives you guidelines to develop use and evaluate artificial diets in order to improve their cost and scientific efficiency in the rearing of insects because as the author urges it is important to know your insect. This understanding will serve the multifaceted goals of using insect rearing for research and teaching pest management strategies and biocontrol agents as food for other organisms and for many other purposes. | Insect Diets Science and Technology Second Edition

Bisexual and Pansexual Identities Exploring and Challenging Invisibility and Invalidation

This book explores the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality from the past to the present and is unique in extending the discussion to focus on contemporary and emerging identities. Nikki Hayfield draws on research from psychology and the social sciences to offer a detailed and in-depth exploration of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality. The book discusses how early sexologists’ understood gender and sexuality within a binary model and how this provided the underpinnings of bisexual invisibility. The existing research on biphobia and bisexual marginalisation is synthesised to explore how bisexuality has often been invisible or invalidated. Hayfield then evidences clear examples of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality within education employment mainstream mass media and the wider culture. Throughout the book there is consideration of the impact that this invisibility and invalidation has on people’s sense of identity and on their health and wellbeing. It concludes with a discussion of how bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality have become somewhat more visible than in the past and the potential that visibility holds for recognition and representation. This is fascinating reading for students and academics interested in in bisexuality pansexuality and asexual spectrum identities and for those who have a personal interest in bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality. | Bisexual and Pansexual Identities Exploring and Challenging Invisibility and Invalidation
