Book Synopsis The Dance of the Islands by : Christy Constantakopoulou
Download or read book The Dance of the Islands written by Christy Constantakopoulou and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christy Constantakopoulou examines the history of the Aegean islands and changing concepts of insularity, with particular emphasis on the fifth century BC. Islands are a prominent feature of the Aegean landscape, and this inevitably created a variety of different (and sometimes contradictory) perceptions of insularity in classical Greek thought. Geographic analysis of insularity emphasizes the interplay between island isolation and island interaction, but the predominance of islands in the Aegean sea made island isolation almost impossible. Rather, island connectivity was an important feature of the history of the Aegean and was expressed on many levels. Constantakopoulou investigates island interaction in two prominent areas, religion and imperial politics, examining both the religious networks located on islands in the ancient Greek world and the impact of imperial politics on the Aegean islands during the fifth century.
Book Synopsis Urban Interstices: The Aesthetics and the Politics of the In-between by : Dr Andrea Mubi Brighenti
Download or read book Urban Interstices: The Aesthetics and the Politics of the In-between written by Dr Andrea Mubi Brighenti and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-12-28 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a team of international scholars with an interest in urban transformations, spatial justice and territoriality, this volume questions how the interstice is related to the emerging processes of partitioning, enclave-making and zoning, showing how in-between spaces are intimately related to larger flows, networks, territories and boundaries. Illustrated with a range of case studies from places such as the US, Quebec, the UK, Italy, Gaza, Iraq, India, and South-east Asia, the volume analyses the place and function of interstitial locales in both a ‘disciplined’ urban space and a disordered space conceptualized through the notions of ‘excess’, ‘danger’ and ‘threat’. Warning not to romanticize the interstice, the book invites us to study it as not simply a place but also a set of phenomena, events and social interactions. How are interstices perceived and represented? What is the politics of visibility that is applied to them? How to capture their peculiar rhythms, speeds and affects? On the one hand, interstices open up venues for informality, improvisation, challenge, and bricolage, playful as well as angry statements on the neoliberal city and enhanced urban inequalities. On the other hand, they also represent a crucial site of governance (even governance by withdrawal) and urban management, where an array of techniques ranging from military urbanism to new forms of value extraction are experimented. At the point of convergence of all these tensions, interstices appear as veritable sites of transformation, where social forces clash and mesh prefiguring our urban future. The book interrogates these territories, proposing new ways to explore the dynamics, events and visibilities that define them.
Book Synopsis Distributive and Procedural Justice by : Kjell Törnblom
Download or read book Distributive and Procedural Justice written by Kjell Törnblom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary and cross-national volume brings together theory and research by prominent scholars within the areas of distributive and procedural justice, not only featuring work within each area separately, as is commonly done, but also showing how combinations of the two justice orientations might operate to affect justice judgments and guide behaviour. Chapters cover various levels of analysis, from intra-personal to interpersonal to group and societal levels. The volume is divided into four sections: distributive justice, procedural justice, distributive and procedural justice, and methodological issues. Each section is subdivided into two parts, basic research and applied research re: current and important societal issues. Each chapter contains an overview of theoretical and empirical research on a particular topic. The volume is designed for use on courses in social psychology, psychology, sociology, political philosophy, and law.
Book Synopsis The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society by : Jason L. Powell
Download or read book The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society written by Jason L. Powell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-10 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, major social forces such as: ageing populations, social trends, migration patterns, and the globalization of economies, have reshaped social welfare policies and practices across the globe. Multinational corporations, NGOs, and other international organizations have begun to influence social policy at a national and local level. Among the many ramifications of these changes is that globalizing influences may hinder the ability of individual nation-states to effect policies that are beneficial to them on a local level. With contributions from thirteen countries worldwide, this collected work represents the first major comparative analysis on the effect of globalization on the international welfare state. The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society is divided into two major sections: the first draws from a number of leading social welfare researchers from diverse countries who point to the nation-state as case studies; highlighting how it goes about establishing and revising social welfare provisions. The second portion of the volume then moves to a more global perspective in its analysis and questioning of the impact of globalization on citizenship, ageing and marketization. The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society seeks to encourage debate about the implications of the most pressing social welfare issues in nation-states, and integrate analyses of policy and practice in particular countries struggling to provide social welfare support for their needy populations.
Book Synopsis Framework for a Fairer Future - the Equality Bill by : Great Britain. Government Equalities Office
Download or read book Framework for a Fairer Future - the Equality Bill written by Great Britain. Government Equalities Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-06-26 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document sets out the Government's aims for the forthcoming Equality Bill. A substantial body of equality legislation has been introduced over the last four decades, but the legislation has become complex and hard to understand. The Equality Bill will declutter and strengthen the law. The Bill will introduce a new Equality Duty on the public sector, replacing the three existing duties on race, disability and gender and extending to gender reassignment, age, sexual orientation and religion or belief. The Bill will contain powers to outlaw unjustifiable age discrimination, but there will be further consultation on the design of the legislation before the new legal protections are introduced. Transparency is essential to tackling discrimination, and public bodies will have to comply with the Equality Duty over gender pay, ethnic minority employment and disability employment. The Government will work with business to improve transparency in the private sector. The Bill will extend the scope of positive action so that employers can take account, when selecting between two equally qualified candidates, under-representation of disadvantaged groups. Permission to use women-only shortlists for parliamentary candidates will be extended to 2030. Non-legislative measures to increase the number of ethnic minority elected representatives in Parliament and local councils will be pursued. Finally the Bill will aim to strengthen enforcement. Tribunals will be allowed to make wider recommendations in discrimination cases, which will go beyond benefitting the individual taking the case so that there are benefits for the rest of the workforce of the employer found to have discriminated. A more comprehensive paper on the content of the Bill will be published shortly.

What happens when engineers--and the companies for which they work--fail to act ethically?"Controlling Technology Ethics and the Responsible Engineer, Third Edition," examines the conflicts faced by the engineers constructing the technological landscape in which we all now live, and offers practical, proven advice on what to do when conflicts arise between commerce and the common good. Revised and expanded, the Third Edition examines the causes and consequences of technological disasters such as: The chemical accident that devastated Bhopal, India The Chernobyl nuclear accident, in what was then Soviet Ukraine The loss of the space shuttle ChallengerAnd, the precursor to them all: The destruction of The Titanic, "The ship God Himself could not sink," lost on her maiden voyage. It describes, as well, such highly successful projects as the construction of the Panama Canal and the Shinkansen--Japan's "Bullet Train."

It is, as well, invaluable guide--and a MUST read, for: Engineers; For engineering students, both graduate and undergraduate; For anyone interested in or concerned about the ways in which the technologies that are so intimately woven into our lives are (and are not) under appropriate control.Whether we pay attention to this or not, day by day, more and more, technology dictates: what we do; how we do it; what is or is not possible. The danger in not attending to how technologies are both designed and utilized--to whether or not those uses are ethical or not--to what governing principles control them, is incalculable. Guidance in this area is crucial, both to engineers and to "civilians." "Controlling Technology" elucidates the ethical component of a landscape which is key to people understanding how technologies can--and should--be subjected to reasonable scrutiny and control, for the benefit of all.
