Natural Communions Religion and Public Life Volume 40

Natural Communions Religion and Public Life Volume 40

The academic treatment of the environment and nature since the 1980s has been formalized in sub-disciplines like environmental history environmental philosophy ecocriticism and eco-spirituality. Within these disciplines the concept of nature has been variously employed to reorient humanity to a holistic moral standard. In each case there is general consensus that inquiry ought to turn on moral considerations of the interaction of humans and the environment; with implied admonitions to live sustainably. Lending credence to the Earth as a superorganism in its own right these modern ecological expressions can be traced to Rachel Carson’s revelations in Silent Spring. However they have a long pre-history which appears in monistic philosophy the spirit of Deism in both Romanticism and the Enlightenment and in political expressions of the idea of Nature’s God designed to promote a secular vision of the state and to overturn predatory religious rivalries. With this literary momentum Natural Communions volume 40 of Religion and Public Life gathers interdisciplinary essays which reconfigure humanity within an ecotheological anthropology and which treat the idea of the sacred from the perspective of an Earth-centered spirituality thus redefining humanity’s response to ecological challenges and initiating a new status within a more expansive cosmology complete with a naturalized conception of Divine Reality. | Natural Communions Religion and Public Life Volume 40

Perceiving Truth and Ceasing Doubts What Can We Learn from 40 Years of China’s Reform and Opening-Up?

Perceiving Truth and Ceasing Doubts What Can We Learn from 40 Years of China’s Reform and Opening-Up?

China has experienced tremendous developmental success since its reform and opening-up policy in 1978. What has contributed to China’s high-speed economic growth? What lessons can be learned from China’s successful case? What might be the challenges that China would face on its path to becoming a high-income country? These are some critical questions this book addresses. Based on the facts and economic logic this book briefly narrates the history of China’s successful development in the past 40 years and explains why China's reform and opening-up has boosted the high-speed growth of its economy. Recognizing the change in the stage of economic development the author reveals the emerging challenges facing China when transitioning from a middle-income country to a high-income country. He proposes that the country should transition from the demographic dividend to reform dividend to sustain the long-term development. With its scholarly analysis and plain language this book would not only attract scholars and students in economics and China studies but also readers interested in the development of the Chinese economy. | Perceiving Truth and Ceasing Doubts What Can We Learn from 40 Years of China’s Reform and Opening-Up?

Speedlights & Speedlites Creative Flash Photography at Lightspeed Second Edition

Speedlights & Speedlites Creative Flash Photography at Lightspeed Second Edition

Canon Speedlites and Nikon Speedlights are small off-camera flashguns that can provide big results - if you know how to use them properly. Acclaimed Boston photographers Lou Jones Bob Keenan and Steve Ostrowski guide you through the technical and creative aspects of how to get the most out of these powerful tools in this indispensable guide packed full of inspirational images and comprehensive diagrams of the lighting set ups used to capture them. They are significantly more advanced lighter and considerably cheaper than a standard flashgun and have many advantages. They are small (and cheap) enough that a number can be carried in your kit and they can be used in combination triggered wirelessly. They use through-the-lens (TTL) metering which allows you to use the in-camera LCD and histograms to calculate the required power/direction rather than havng to use a light meter or trial and error. They use proprietary dedicated technology (from Canon and Nikon) that means there are no compatability issues. Getting the most out of them however remains a mystery - most photographers still just use their speedlights in the same way as a standard flash gun. This is where this book comes in. | Speedlights & Speedlites Creative Flash Photography at Lightspeed Second Edition

Parking and the City

Parking and the City

Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars encourage sprawl degrade urban design prohibit walkability damage the economy raise housing costs and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoup’s policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46 authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy examines the multidisciplinary overlap between the spatial disciplines and the studies of science and technology through a comparative study of four of the world’s most important radio telescopes. Employing detailed analysis historical research interviews personal observations and various conceptual manoeuvres Guy Trangoš reveals the depth of spatial process active at these scientific sites and the territories they traverse. Through the conceptual frameworks of territory hyper-concentration and contingency Trangoš interprets the telescope as exploded across space and time present in multiple connected sites simultaneously and active in the production of space. He develops a historiographic and contemporary analysis of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA Chile); the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST China); the Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico); and the MeerKAT/SKA (South Africa). These case studies are global exemplars of the different spatial transformations that occur through science. Their relationships to surrounding communities and landscapes reveal deeper constitutional processes embodied in each institutional and spatial form. This book spans the modern history of architecture and science the studies of science technology and society and urban theory. It is of specific interest to architects and designers expanding their analysis of spatial production scholars in the study of geography landscape science technology and astronomy and people fascinated with how these radio telescopes were conceptualised built and operate today.
