Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Sound and Science in Nineteenth-Century Britain is a four-volume set of primary sources which seeks to define our historical understanding of the relationship between British scientific knowledge and sound between 1815 and 1900. In the context of rapid urbanization and industrialization as well as a growing overseas empire Britain was home to a rich scientific culture in which the ear was as valuable an organ as the eye for examining nature. Experiments on how sound behaved informed new understandings of how a diverse array of natural phenomena operated notably those of heat light and electro-magnetism. In nineteenth-century Britain sound was not just a phenomenon to be studied but central to the practice of science itself and broader understandings over nature and the universe. This collection accompanied by extensive editorial commentary will be of great interest to students and scholars of the History of Science. | Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges Proceedings of the EAAE ARCC 10th International Conference (EAAE ARCC 2016) 15-18 Jun

Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges Proceedings of the EAAE ARCC 10th International Conference (EAAE ARCC 2016) 15-18 Jun

The escalating interdependecy of nations drives global geopolitics to shift ever more quickly. Societies seem unable to control any change that affects their cities whether positively or negatively. Challenges are global but solutions need to be implemented locally. How can architectural research contribute to the future of our changing society? How has it contributed in the past? The theme of the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conference “Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges” was set to address these questions. This book Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges includes reviewed papers presented in June 2016 at the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conference which was held at the facilities of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon. The papers have been further divided into the following five sub-themes: a Changing Society; In Transit – Global Migration; Renaturalization of the City; Emerging Fields of Architectural Practice; and Research on Architectural Education. The EAAE/ARCC International Conference held under the aegis of the EAAE and of the ARCC is a conference organized every other year in collaboration with one of the member schools/ universities of those associations alternatively in North America or in Europe. | Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges Proceedings of the EAAE ARCC 10th International Conference (EAAE ARCC 2016) 15-18 Jun

Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Originally published between 1927 and 1933 the 15 volumes in this set cover the whole ground of the Revolution the early history of Bolshevism and the state of Russia in the late 1920s and early 1930s. They present a broad panorama in which real problems are set against an historical background examining life under Bolshevism discussing the limitations in practice of Bolshevist politics the reality of the Soviet elections of the early 1920s and the growing influence of the Communist Party. Many of the books focus on aspects which the authors feel are of particular significance to Western readers and many such as the volume covering the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1919 show what many people in Western Europe were unaware of at the time: namely that one of the main prinicples behind the Bolshevist system was brutal force. Some of the volumes cover the Five-Year Plan in relation to industry agriculture labour banking and the budget but legal political and sociological aspects of the country are also covered. Importantly the direction US foreign policy should take in relation to Russia is also discussed – something which clearly has an enduring relevance today some 70 years after these books were first published. | Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

The History of Science

The History of Science

Science is one of the main features of the contemporary world and shapes our lives to an extent that has no precedents in history. Yet science as we know it today is the outcome of contingent social processes and its global success is far from self-explanatory. How did it happen? How did science emerge in history and became the most authoritative source of knowledge available in late modern societies? This set of volumes addresses these crucial questions through a selection of exemplary publications spanning antiquity to the present day. The reader will find an effective survey of the best scholarship in this rapidly growing field and a map of the main revolutions as well as the long-term continuities that have characterized our understanding the world and our attempts to control it. The collection brings together areas of inquiry that have become increasingly distant and specialized such as the history of antique science or Cold War studies within broader narratives of the making of the modern world. They also reassess the traditional assumption of the exclusively Greek and Western origins of modern science situating relevant knowledge practices and artefacts within the global networks that sustained them: in ancient as well as in modern times. The gathered materials address key historiographical issues such as the relationship between science magic and religion; the role of science in nation-building processes; and the relationship between science and technology. | The History of Science

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.

Beyond the development of law since the last edition this sixth edition contains new practical features to aid the reader. Each section now has a new contents table with each separate topic set out clearly and in a logical order which acts as reminder for the reader. Further each separate topic now has a specific individual reference and the topics are grouped in a more systematic and logical way within each section to improve readability. The book is primarily aimed at practitioners of arbitration both in the UK and abroad including solicitors barristers arbitrators and judges who are involved in the practice of arbitration (whether domestic or international).

Erratum: The authors regret that the new version of the LCIA Rules will not now be published (or be applicable) until early 2020 due to unexpected circumstances. It is understood that those Articles referred to in the text as the 2019 Rules will remain unchanged albeit that the Rules when in force should be and will be cited as the 2020 LCIA Rules. The authors accept responsibility for and apologise for this error. | Merkin and Flannery on the Arbitration Act 1996
