On Shell Structure

On Shell Structure

This volume collects together core papers by Richard K. Larson developing what has since come to be known as the VP Shell or Split VP analysis of sentential structure. The volume includes five previously published papers together with two major unpublished works from the same period: Light Predicate Raising (1989) which explores the interesting consequences of a leftward raising analysis of NP Shift phenomena and The Projection of DP (and DegP) (1991) which extends the shell approach to the projection of nominal and adjectival structure showing how projection can be handled in a uniform way. In addition to published unpublished and limited distribution work the volume includes extensive new introductory material. The general introduction traces the conceptual roots of VP Shells and its problems in the face of subsequent developments in theory and offers an updated form compatible with modern Minimalist syntactic analysis. The section introductions to the material on datives complex predicates and nominals show how the updated form of shell theory applies in the empirical domains where it was originally developed. | On Shell Structure

Eco-Cities A Planning Guide

Eco-Cities A Planning Guide

As cities undergo vast changes due to industrialization urbanization and globalization environmental considerations assume a growing importance in the urban planning processes of an increasing number of governments around the world. Several cities and regions around the world have already enacted policies that signal the emergence of a paradigm of sustainability in eco-cities planning. Providing an overview of urban ecosystem structure function and change Eco-Cities: A Planning Guide addresses how to successfully accomplish eco-city planning that meets government requirements. It adds a new dimension to the understanding and application of the concept of urban sustainability based on hypotheses about feedback between social and biogeophysical processes. Emphasizing integration the first part of the book discusses various aspects of planning theory. It presents three innovative theories for socioeconomic models: a theory on the locational choices made by households and firms an urban version of the stream continuum concept and an application of metacommunity theory to the fragmented urban biota. These theories raise new urban planning questions and stimulate integrated modeling. The book also introduces urban planning modeling that uses existing social vegetation ecohydrological and ecosystem service modules but is refined and operated for enhanced cross-disciplinary integration and prediction. The second part of the book consists of several case studies of Chinese eco-cities covering a majority of the urban development patterns that offer in-depth examples of planning practices currently in use. Drawing on experimentation comparison long-term measurement and modeling this fascinating guide helps readers better understand eco-cities and eco-landscapes as integrated spatially extensive complex adaptive systems. It lays a solid foundation for engagement between urban planners researchers educators policy makers and citizens as they work to adapt to changing environmental social and economic conditions. | Eco-Cities A Planning Guide

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

This title was first published in 2000: An original and thought-provoking analysis of modern initiatives in the tropical rain forest. While issues such as logging eco-timber eco-tourism have been widely analyzed from an outsider’s perspective this book considers them from the local people’s viewpoint in terms of a long history of the rainforest uses. The authors demonstrate that the relationship of indigenous people to the tropical forest is not essentially timeless nor is it primarily spiritual or mystical. It is in fact firmly connected to modern realities while still being rooted in historical beliefs and practices. Standing at the intersection of anthropology historical geography and rainforest ecology and also at the interface of the local and the global this ethnographically grounded study dispels a number of commonly held assumptions. It reveals how processes of ’impact’ are actually two-way interactions as local communities in Melanesia incorporate industries like logging into rapidly evolving post-colonial society and economy. | Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments shedding light on the theories that preceded their development and on the monsters that followed and might be the end of our cities. The narrative is threefold and delves first into the eco-city second the smart city and third the autonomous city intended as a place where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences that are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. The book empirically explores Masdar City in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong to provide a critical analysis of eco and smart city experiments and their sustainability and it draws on numerous real-life examples to illustrate the rise of urban artificial intelligences across different geographical spaces and scales. Theoretically the book traverses philosophy urban studies and planning theory to explain the passage from eco and smart cities to the autonomous city and to reflect on the meaning and purpose of cities in a time when human and non-biological intelligences are irreversibly colliding in the built environment. Iconoclastic and prophetic Frankenstein Urbanism is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a warning about an urbanism whose product resembles Frankenstein’s monster: a fragmented entity which escapes human control and human understanding. Academics students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities. | Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i. e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. | Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Monuments as Cultural and Critical Objects From Mesolithic to Eco-queer

Monuments as Cultural and Critical Objects From Mesolithic to Eco-queer

Monuments as Cultural and Critical Objects explores monuments as political psychical social and mystical objects. Incorporating autoethnography psychoanalysis deconstruction postcolonialism and queer ecology Houlton argues for a radical interdisciplinary approach to our monument-culture. Tracing historical developments in monuments alongside contemporary movements such as Rhodes Must Fall and Black Lives Matter Houlton provides an in-depth critique of monument sites as well as new critical and conceptual methodologies for thinking across the field. Alongside analysis of monuments to the Holocaust colonial figures and LGBTQIA+ subjects this book provides new critical engagements with the work of D. W. Winnicott Marion Milner Jacques Derrida Edward Said Eve Sedgwick and others. Houlton traces the potential for monuments to exert great influence over our sense of self nation community sexuality and place in the world. Exploring the psychic and physical spaces these objects occupy—their aesthetics affects politics and powers—this book considers how monuments can challenge our identities beliefs and our very notions of remembrance. The interdisciplinary nature of Monuments as Cultural and Critical Objects means that it is ideally placed to intervene across several critical fields particularly museum and heritage studies. It will also prove invaluable to those engaged in the study of monuments psychoanalytic object relations decolonization queer ecology radical death studies and affect theory. | Monuments as Cultural and Critical Objects From Mesolithic to Eco-queer

Diradicaloids

Diradicaloids

π-Conjugated molecules with an even number of π-electrons usually have a closed-shell ground state. However recent studies have demonstrated that a certain type of molecules could show open-shell singlet ground state and display diradical-like (diradicaloid) behavior. Their electronic structure can be understood in terms of the “diradical character” and “aromaticity” concepts. They display very different electronic properties from traditional closed-shell π-conjugated molecules and could be used as next-generation molecular materials. This book provides a comprehensive review on the chemistry physics and material applications of open-shell singlet diradicaloids. Particularly it elaborates the fundamental structure–diradical character–electronic property relationships both theoretically and experimentally. The book has been written by leading scientists in the field from Japan Germany Spain Italy China and Singapore.

Environmental Toxicology

Environmental Toxicology

Eco-toxicology an offshoot of toxicology is a multidisciplinary science that integrates toxicology and ecology by drawing knowledge and procedures from both fields. It analyses the effects of toxic chemicals or biological agents on living organisms at different levels of organization. Eco-toxicology classifies different contaminants their characteristics release and ecological fate and predicts their effects so that timely action can be taken to prevent or minimize any detrimental effects. Environmental Toxicology starts with the basics of toxicology briefly touching on the sources of toxic compounds classification of toxicants and factors affecting toxicity and then elaborates on heavy metal toxicity. The individual chapters on various heavy metals and radioactive metals discuss the sources and routes of exposure aetiology pathophysiology clinical manifestations and mechanisms of toxicity toxicological effects diagnosis treatment management and ecological impact. The book covers the field in its greatest width and provides an insight into pesticide and radiation toxicity and recent advances in eco-toxicology with special focus on the removal of HMs and the latest bioremediation techniques. This book serves as a reference work for advanced students pursuing degrees in environmental toxicology and across various disciplines such as biomedical and environmental sciences toxicology eco-toxicology pharmacology public health etc. and all interested in learning the concepts of eco-toxicology. Features: A systematic overview of the key concepts of eco-toxicology its relationship with other disciplines and recent advances in the area Detailed classification of toxicants types of toxicity and mechanism of the action of toxicants An in-depth coverage of topics on the mechanism toxicity of HMs in addition to exclusive sections on pesticide and radiation toxicity A fact file in each chapter highlighting its key points Flow charts tables diagrams and illustrations in easily understandable language

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

In the Miocene and Pliocene fossil shell beds of the eastern United States the single most spectacular molluscan species radiation is seen in the ecphora shells (the Tribe Ecphorini). These bizarrely shaped gastropods with their distinctive ribbed shell sculpture represent a separate branch of the Subfamily Ocenebridae Family Muricidae. Characteristically these muricid gastropods are heavily ornamented with spiral ribs and cords and are considered some of the most beautiful and interesting groups of fossil mollusks found along the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Floridian Peninsula. The ecphoras are greatly sought after by fossil collectors. The ecphora faunas and their individual species and subspecies are illustrated and described in detail along with photographs of ecphora-bearing geological units and in-situ specimens. The authors list the 67 known species and subspecies that are recognized as valid arranged by the eight genera and five subgenera that encompass these taxa. | The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America
