Book Synopsis Anthropology, Art, and Aesthetics by : Jeremy Coote
Download or read book Anthropology, Art, and Aesthetics written by Jeremy Coote and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthropology of art is a fast-developing area of intellectual debate and academic study. This beautifully illustrated volume is a unique survey of the current state of anthropological thinking on art and aesthetics. The distinguished contributors draw on contemporary anthropological theory and on classic anthropological topics such as myth and ritual to deepen our understanding of particular aesthetic traditions in their socio-cultural and historical contexts. Many of the essays present new findings based on recent field research in Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, and Mexico; while others draw on classical anthropological accounts of the Trobriand Islanders of Melanesia and the Nuer of the Southern Sudan to form new arguments and conclusions. The introductory overview of the history of the anthropology of art, by Sir Raymond Firth, makes this volume especially useful for those interested in learning what anthropology has to contribute to our understanding of art and aesthetics in general.
Book Synopsis Arsenic in Drinking Water by : National Research Council
Download or read book Arsenic in Drinking Water written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-11-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having safe drinking water is important to all Americans. The Environmental Protection Agency's decision in the summer of 2001 to delay implementing a new, more stringent standard for the maximum allowable level for arsenic in drinking water generated a great deal of criticism and controversy. Ultimately at issue were newer data on arsenic beyond those that had been examined in a 1999 National Research Council report. EPA asked the National Research Council for an evaluation of the new data available. The committee's analyses and conclusions are presented in Arsenic in Drinking Water: 2001 Update. New epidemiological studies are critically evaluated, as are new experimental data that provide information on how and at what level arsenic in drinking water can lead to cancer. The report's findings are consistent with those of the 1999 report that found high risks of cancer at the previous federal standard of 50 parts per billion. In fact, the new report concludes that men and women who consume water containing 3 parts per billion of arsenic daily have about a 1 in 1,000 increased risk of developing bladder or lung cancer during their lifetime.
Book Synopsis Cosmos and Society in Oceania by : Daniel de Coppet
Download or read book Cosmos and Society in Oceania written by Daniel de Coppet and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current anthropology uses expressions such as 'society as a whole', 'socio-cosmic relations', 'spatiotemporal extension', 'global ideology', and 'cosmomorphy' to establish that the clear-cut Western dichotomy between society and cosmos is not always to be found in the communities it studies. In fact, many elements that the West would at first undoubtedly classify as belonging either to the cosmos or to the society appear very often in Melanesia as belonging to neither one of these domains, but to a realm which combines the attributes of both. Focusing on different examples drawn from diverse Melanesian societies, this thought-provoking volume by eminent specialists re-examines the relationship between society and cosmos and, in the process, opens new directions for research.

Book Synopsis Total Diet Studies by : Gerald G. Moy
Download or read book Total Diet Studies written by Gerald G. Moy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unless a food is grossly contaminated, consumers are unable to detect through sight or smell the presence of low levels of toxic chemicals in their foods. Furthermore, the toxic effects of exposure to low levels of chemicals are often manifested slowly, sometimes for decades, as in the case of cancer or organ failure. As a result, safeguarding food from such hazards requires the constant monitoring of the food supply using sophisticated laboratory analysis. While the food industry bears the primary responsibility for assuring the safety of its products, the overall protection of people’s diets from chemical hazards must be considered one of the most important public health functions of any government. Unfortunately, many countries do not have sufficient capability and capacity to monitor the exposure of their populations to many potentially toxic chemicals that could be present in food and drinking water. Without such monitoring, public health authorities in many countries are not able to identify and respond to problems posed by toxic chemicals, which may harm their population and undermine consumer confidence in the safety of the food supply. From a trade perspective, those countries that cannot demonstrate that the food they produce is free of potentially hazardous chemicals will be greatly disadvantaged or even subject to sanctions in the international marketplace. The goal of a total diet study (TDS) is to provide basic information on the levels and trends of exposure to chemicals in foods as consumed by the population. In other words, foods are processed and prepared as typical for a country before they are analyzed in order to better represent actual dietary intakes. Total diet studies have been used to assess the safe use of agricultural chemicals (e.g., pesticides, antibiotics), food additives (e.g., preservatives, sweetening agents), environmental contaminants (e.g., lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, PCBs, dioxins), processing contaminants (e.g., acrylamide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chloropropanols), and natural contaminants (e.g., aflatoxin, patulin, other mycotoxins) by determining whether dietary exposure to these chemicals are within acceptable limits. Total diet studies can also be applied to certain nutrients where the goal is to assure intakes are not only below safe upper limits, but also above levels deemed necessary to maintain good health. International and national organizations, such as the World Health Organization, the European Food Safety Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration recognize the TDS approach as one of the most cost-effective means of protecting consumers from chemicals in food, for providing essential information for managing food safety, including food standards, and for setting priorities for further investment and study. Total Diet Studies introduces the TDS concept to a wider audience and presents the various steps in the planning and implementation of a TDS. It illustrates how TDSs are being used to protect public health from chemicals in the food supply in many developed and developing countries. The book also examines some of the applications of TDSs to specific chemicals, including contaminants and nutrients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wrapping in Images is the first comparative analysis of tattooing in Polynesia in its original setting, based on a comprehensive survey of both written and visual documentary sources.Drawing on modern social theory, psychoanalysis, and contemporary anthropology, Alfred Gell shows how tattooing formed part of a complex array of symbolic techniques for controlling sacredness and protecting the self. He uses this framework to examine the iconographic meaning of tattoo motifs, therich corpus of mythology surrounding tattooing in some Polynesian societies, and the complex rituals associated with the tattoing operation. he also demonstrates how not all ancient Polynesian societies placed an equal emphasis on tattooing, or exploited the basic metaphors in the same way. Gell'swide-ranging, comparative political analysis shows consistent correlations between forms of political structure and different tattooing institutions, offering a new perspective on Polynesian comparative sociology.
Book Synopsis Contamination des sols by : Claire Laurent
Download or read book Contamination des sols written by Claire Laurent and published by L'Editeur : EDP Sciences. This book was released on 2005 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les diverses crises qui ont affecté la filière agroalimentaire, ont généré la revendication de la part des consommateurs, au droit à la sécurité des aliments. Pour répondre à ces exigences, la nécessité de disposer d'avis rapides, fiables et clairs sur les questions émergeantes, a été relevée par la législation communautaire, législation qui imposera prochainement des évaluations des risques liés à l'alimentation pour toute la population européenne. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit cet ouvrage visant à synthétiser les connaissances du transfert de polluants organiques (PCDD/F, PCB, HAP) et des éléments traces du sol vers l'animal d'élevage.

Book Synopsis Pollution localisée des sols et sous-sols par les hydrocarbures et par les solvants chlorés by : François Colin
Download or read book Pollution localisée des sols et sous-sols par les hydrocarbures et par les solvants chlorés written by François Colin and published by Tec & Doc Lavoisier. This book was released on 2000 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pollution des sols et des sous-sols résulte des conséquences cumulées de diverses activités humaines, tant industrielles qu'agricoles, urbaines, militaires etc. Cette contamination, trop négligée jusqu'à une époque récente, est préoccupante par ses conséquences environnementales, sanitaires et socio-économiques. Ce type de pollution se caractérise par des difficultés spécifiques d'identification et d'accessibilité, et par l'hétérogénéité des matières et des sites concernés : à ce titre, il mérite une attention particulière. Le présent rapport est consacré à l'une des formes de pollution des sols et sous-sols les plus courantes, impliquant les hydrocarbures et les solvants chlorés. La problématique en est développée tant au niveau descriptif de la contamination et de ses effets qu'à celui des possibilités d'actions préventives ou curatives, dans un contexte où coexistent contraintes juridiques et économiques ainsi qu'obligations sociales. Ce travail est complémentaire de celui consacré à la pollution des sols par les éléments en traces, objet du rapport n° 42 de l'Académie des sciences (août 1998), les deux types de contaminations relevant de caractères, et de logiques très différents. La première partie de l'ouvrage traite du constat : origines des contaminations (activités et sources de pollutions), moyens d'identification, localisation, délimitation, quantification des contaminations terrestres superficielles et souterraines (caractérisation des sites contaminés), devenir des contaminants dans les sols et sous-sols (mécanismes, phénomènes de transport et d'évaluation), identification des impacts constatés ou potentiels (effets sur l'homme et les écosystèmes). La deuxième partie traite du cadre et des moyens d'action, en fonction de paramètres réglementaires, techniques et socio-économiques. Il est légitime de considérer prioritairement les mesures préventives de réduction du risque (prévention et protection) avant de justifier des obligations de remise en état des sites déjà contaminés (aspects juridiques). Cette réhabilitation des sites contaminés est ensuite considérée sous l'angle technologique. Enfin les contraintes socio-économiques constituent des justifications pour l'action, dont elles fixent les limites pratiques et effectives. Les recommandations relatives aux différents aspects décrits dans le rapport sont regroupées à la fin de l'ouvrage.

Book Synopsis Sites et sols pollués by : Yves Le Corfec
Download or read book Sites et sols pollués written by Yves Le Corfec and published by Dunod. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La gestion durable des ressources du sol et du sous-sol constitue l’une des plus anciennes thématiques environnementales de nos sociétés. Cependant il n’existe aujourd’hui aucun cadre réglementaire formel régissant les bonnes pratiques, ni au plan national, ni pour l’heure à l’échelle européenne. Ce constat de carence traduit la complexité des enjeux, la multiplicité des acteurs et la difficulté de définir des objectifs communs. Si le fondement essentiel des politiques « sites et sols pollués » reste la sécurité sanitaire des populations susceptibles d’être exposées, les traductions pratiques de ces principes restent toujours délicates tant sur les plans scientifiques que techniques et financiers. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse de l’ensemble des notions indispensables à la compréhension des enjeux sur la gestion des sites et sols pollués : cadre réglementaire, toxicologie et écotoxicologie, caractérisation, gestion environnementale, etc.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce document est publié dans le cadre du plan d'action Saint-Laurent Vision 2000 et s'insère dans le volet Aide à la prise de décision. Une des activités visées par ce volet est de réaliser un bilan massique des contaminants dans le Saint-Laurent, c'est-à-dire de détecter et de quantifier l'apport de substances toxiques provenant des Grands Lacs et des sources québécoises. Dans cette optique, la grande région métropolitaine constitue un secteur-clef pour l'évaluation des apports de contaminants au fleuve. Cette étude visait à mesurer les concentrations des biphényles polychlorés et des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques dans les eaux de la station d'épuration de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal ainsi que dans le panache de l'effluent qu'elle rejette dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent.
