Home Matters - R. Rubenstein - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Home Matters - R. Rubenstein - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Despite its typically regressive associations with homesickness, the longing associated with nostalgia may also function progressively as a vehicle for imaginatively ''fixing'' the past in two senses: securing and mending or repairing. Considering fiction by two British and six American women writers of different generations and ethnicities, this study explores tensions between home and exile, insider and outsider, longing and belonging, loss and recovery. Rubenstein argues that nostalgia functions narratively as a strategy for interrogating not only notions of home, homesickness, and homeland but also cultural historical dislocation, aging, and moral responsibility. These narratives re-frame a significant locus of concern in contemporary (female) experience: personal and/or cultural dis-placement and longing for home are ultimately transmuted - imaginatively, at least - by a restorative vision that enables healing and emotional repair.

Emotional Impact - T. Hope - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book highlights a hitherto neglected element of leadership - personality. There are many accounts by, or about, leaders who have guided organisations but they often say little about how they felt as a person or how their charisma and passion infected their colleagues. Based around candid in-depth interviews with prominent leaders, including Ian MacLaurin of Tesco, Richard Ide of Volkswagen and Tim Waterstone, the authors explore the emotional impact of being a leader.

Doctors at Sea - R. Haines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Doctors at Sea - R. Haines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In this engaging tale of movement from one hemisphere to another, we see doctors at work attending to their often odious and demanding duties at sea, in quarantine, and after arrival. The book shows, in graphic detail, just why a few notorious voyages suffered tragic loss of life in the absence of competent supervision. Its emphasis, however, is on demonstrating the extent to which the professionalism of the majority of surgeon superintendents, even on ships where childhood epidemics raged, led to the extraordinary saving of life on the Australian route in the Victorian era.

The Right to Home - Tasoulla Hadjiyanni - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Right to Home - Tasoulla Hadjiyanni - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores how the design characteristics of homes can support or suppress individuals'' attempts to create meaning in their lives, which in turn, impacts well-being and delineates the production of health, income, and educational disparities within homes and communities. According to the author, the physical realities of living space-such as how kitchen layouts restrict cooking and the size of social areas limits gatherings with friends, or how dining tables can shape aspirations-have a salient connection to the beliefs, culture, and happiness of the individuals in the space. The book''s purpose is to examine the human capacity to create meaning and to rally home mediators (scholars, educators, design practitioners, policy makes, and advocates) to work toward Culturally Enriched Communities in which everyone can thrive. The volume includes stories from Hmong, Somali, Mexican, Ojibwe, and African American individuals living in Minnesota to show how space intersects with race, gender, citizenship, ability, religion, and ethnicity, positing that social inequalities are partially spatially constructed and are, therefore, malleable.

Justice at Nuremberg - U. Schmidt - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Justice at Nuremberg - U. Schmidt - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Justice at Nuremberg traces the history of the Nuremberg Doctors'' Trial held in 1946-47, through the eyes of the Austrian émigré psychiatrist Leo Alexander. His investigations helped the United States to prosecute twenty German doctors and three administrators for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The legacy of Nuremberg was profound. In the Nuremberg code - a landmark in the history of modern medical ethics - the judges laid down, for the first time, international guidelines for permissible experiments on humans. One of those who helped to formulate the code was Alexander. Justice at Nuremberg provides a detailed insight into the origins of human rights in medical science and into the changing role of international law, ethics and politics.

Europe at the Polls - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Europe at the Polls - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In election after election for the European parliament there has been a growing ability for voters to deal with Europe, by-passing categories that are still used to think about essentials political issues within individual countries. Europe at the Polls highlights this liberation of the ''European Question'' from the old left-right conflicts that have marked political life within the 15 members of the European Union. Across national borders, this study of those elections shows that diverse trends are taking root in homes, towns, and in the workplace, and are reflected in the electoral geography at the level of the European Union. The increasing strength of Green parties, the continued decline of European Communism, and ethno-regionalism are just some of the issues that this book explores with the hope that Europe can begin constructing a real European public space within which a strong link to citizens can be woven.
