Geomorphology

This book provides a detailed coverage of the landforms of Planet Earth and the processes that shaped them. The study of these morphologies some of which formed during past geological periods under environmental conditions very different from those of today makes it possible to reconstruct the evolution of relief and to infer environmental changes that have involved geological media the climate or human activity. A major advance of Geomorphology in recent decades is the development of techniques that make it possible to quantify morphogenetic processes and rates at which forms change under different environmental conditions. The development of Geochronology or absolute dating methods is helping us correct the limitations of relative dating that have prevailed in Geomorphology for many years. The ability to assign numerical ages to both landforms and deposits opens up multiple possibilities for reconstructing the evolution of relief making correlations calculating rates and estimating recurrence periods. A theme of major concern facing people today is the possible warming of the planet due to the release of greenhouse gases into the environment. Investigations conducted by the scientific community show that this temperature increase is at least partially anthropogenic. Given this more-than-probable cause and effect relationship the most sensible and prudent path is to design and apply mitigation measures to alleviate this heating that can negatively affect both the natural environment and human society. The information that Geomorphology can provide on the recent past (Historical Geomorphology) may be very useful in making predictions on the activity of these potentially dangerous processes in the future and on the possible effects of environmental changes. The aim of this book is to provide a general vision of the multiple aspects of Geomorphology and to provide a methodological foundation to approach

WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

This book examines posters produced by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) a federal relief program designed to create jobs in the United States during the Great Depression. Cory Pillen focuses on several issues addressed repeatedly in the roughly 2 200 extant WPA posters created between 1935 and 1943: recreation and leisure conservation health and disease and public housing. As the book shows the posters promote specific forms of knowledge and literacy as solutions to contemporary social concerns. The varied issues these works engage and the ideals they endorse however would have resonated in complex ways with the posters’ diverse viewing public working both for and against the rhetoric of consensus employed by New Deal agencies in defining and managing the relationship between self and society in modern America. This book will be of interest to scholars in design history art history and American studies. | WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

Transhumanism Ethics and the Therapeutic Revolution Agents of Change

This book explores the impact of developments in pharmaceutical medicine in the twentieth century on a Christian ethical evaluation of transhumanism and future hi-tech medical enhancement technologies. It suggests that the Christian ethical assessment of proposed future radical transhumanist biomedical technologies should be conducted in the light of responses to past medical advances. Two specific case studies are featured focusing on the oral contraceptive pill and on Prozac and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. Whilst future biomedical technologies may have therapeutic benefits for the relief of disease and contribute to improving human health and welfare the book considers the implications for society and their acceptability as therapies from a Christian perspective. Stressing the inadequacy of natural law alone the author proposes an ethical framework for assessing novel biomedical technologies according to the effects on personal autonomy embodiment and bodily life and on the imago Dei. | Transhumanism Ethics and the Therapeutic Revolution Agents of Change

Biopolitics in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century Fearing for the Nation

The field of biopolitics encompasses issues from health and hygiene birth rates fertility and sexuality life expectancy and demography to eugenics and racial regimes. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive view on these issues for Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century. The cataclysms of imperial collapse World War(s) and the Holocaust but also the rise of state socialism after 1945 provided extraordinary and distinct conditions for the governing of life and death. The volume collects the latest research and empirical studies from the region to showcase the diversity of biopolitical regimes in their regional and global context – from hunger relief for Hungarian children after the First World War to abortion legislation in communist Poland. It underlines the similarities as well demonstrating how biopolitical strategies in this area often revolved around the notion of an endangered nation; and how ideological schemes and post-imperial experiences in Eastern Europe further complicate a 'western' understanding of democratic participatory and authoritarian repressive biopolitics. The new geographical focus invites scholars and students of social and human sciences to reconsider established perspectives on the history of population management and the history of Europe. | Biopolitics in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century Fearing for the Nation

Unknowing the ‘War on Terror’ The Pleasures of Risk

This book offers new insights into the excesses and uncanniness of the ‘War on Terror’ via an engagement with the pleasures of risk. Engaging with the unconscious the excess the uncanny and the spectacular dimensions of the ‘War on Terror’ – as made evident for example in the 2012 London Olympic Games and the 2013 manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers – leads this book to probe the so-called order of things that has made this war intelligible in both mainstream and critical approaches to Security Studies and International Relations. Specifically this book brings to light and theorizes the obscene pleasures of the ‘War on Terror’ and its supplementary precautionary risk logic. Coming to grips with this (i. e. the pleasures of risk) ultimately via an engagement with critical psychoanalytic theory leads this book to argue that we may be other than we think we are within critical International Relations (IR) traditions. Furthermore albeit without discounting the madness if not desolation of the present (extending from the ‘War on Terror’ to the politics of Brexit and Donald Trump) it suggests there may be some relief in that yet. This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies critical security studies political theory and International Relations broadly. | Unknowing the ‘War on Terror’ The Pleasures of Risk

The Political Economy of Bilateral Aid Implications for Global Development

The social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and of extreme climate events have brought into sharp relief the serious deficiencies of our political economies. The dominant global ideology of neoliberalism and its architects and beneficiaries are responsible for this. Bilateral development assistance is an integral part of the neoliberal grand design. However while the deficiencies of neoliberalism have been starkly exposed by the pandemic its collapse is unlikely in the short-term. Much bilateral assistance will therefore continue to be self-serving. Within these confines and on the basis of a sharply critical analysis of the functioning of technical assistance at the point of the design and delivery of programmes and projects this book identifies crucial supply-side nodes of power and influence where feasible and relatively straight-forward ‘functional’ reforms - strategy structure selection training - would make genuinely developmental results for recipients more likely and enhance donor interests at the same time. It argues that more authentic empathetic and altruistic technical assistance will be essential to bringing this about. The arguments are supported by primary published evidence gathered by the author during 18 years of full-time employment as a team leader or programme manager of technical assistance programmes. The book will be of interest to students of development management development economics political economy and international relations as well as policy makers development practitioners and supply- and demand-side government officials. | The Political Economy of Bilateral Aid Implications for Global Development

Swords Into Dow Shares Governing The Decline Of The Military- Industrial Complex

Contemporary legal doctrine holds that corporate managers have obligations first and foremost to maximize profits for their shareholders. This doctrine is based on the assumption that shareholders alone bear the financial risks and contribute the equity necessary for production. But what if other groups contribute assets and also risk losing their investments? What if other groups actually shelter shareholders from financial risks? Such is the case with the nation's prime defense contractors. By examining the case of defense contracting where the federal government and indirectly the taxpayers assume most of the risks and costs of producing weaponry Rachel Weber critiques the assumptions underlying our system of corporate governance. The Department of Defense provides contracts for billions of dollars specialized components and facilities interest subsidies tax breaks and regulatory relief. These public contributions make the record shareholder returns and executive compensation packages of the early 1990s all the more problematic. This book follows the case of General Dynamics the nation's largest military shipbuilder and considered a trendsetter in the industry for its explicit shareholder orientation. The behavior of contractors like General Dynamics in the post-Cold War period raises serious concerns about the private stewardship of public funds. How can the government make contractors accountable to other public interests? In Swords into Dow Shares Rachel Weber offers some original suggestions for redirecting defense resources to foster innovation decrease the tax burden of military spending and help to retain and create high-wage jobs in a civilian-industrial economy. | Swords Into Dow Shares Governing The Decline Of The Military- Industrial Complex

Posthuman Buddhism and the Digital Self The Production of Dwellspace

In Posthuman Buddhism and the Digital Self Les Roberts extends his earlier work on spatial anthropology to consider questions of time spaciousness and the phenomenology of self. Across the book’s four main chapters – which range from David Bowie’s long-standing interest in Buddhism to street photography of 1980s Liverpool to the ambient soundscapes of Derek Jarman’s Blue or to the slow contemplative cinema of Tsai Ming-Liang – Roberts lays the groundwork for the concept of ‘dwellspace’ as a means by which to unpick the shifting spatial temporal and experiential modalities of everyday mediascapes. Understood as a particular disposition towards time Roberts’s foray into dwellspace proceeds from a Pascalian reflection on the self/non-self in which being content in an empty room vies with the demands of having content in an empty room. Taking the idea of posthuman Buddhism as a heuristic lens Roberts sets in motion a number of interrelated lines of enquiry that prompt renewed focus on questions of boredom distraction and reverie and cast into sharper relief the psychosocial and creative affordances of ambience spaciousness and slowness. The book argues that the colonisation of ‘empty time’ by 24/7 digital capitalism has gone hand-in-hand with the growth of the corporate mindfulness industry and with it the co-option commodification and digitisation of dwellspace. Posthuman Buddhism is thus in part an exploration of the dialectics of dwellspace that orbits around a creative self-praxis rooted in the negation and dissolution of the self one of the foundational cornerstones of Buddhist theory and practice. | Posthuman Buddhism and the Digital Self The Production of Dwellspace

Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe

This book argues for the utility of human rights in the practice of ocean governance. Maritime spatial planning (MSP) has become the dominant marine management paradigm with MSP frameworks already at various stages of elaboration and implementation in more than half of all coastal states. However as experience with MSP accrues a central systemic shortcoming has become apparent insofar as the normative frameworks that underpin MSP tend to be grounded in a rationalistic and economistic worldview. The result is a post-political neoliberal approach to the implementation of MSP which favours technocratic ‘fixes’ to complex societal problems over efforts to address underlying issues of power and inequality. Building upon the new field of critical MSP studies this book offers a much-neglected legal contribution. More specifically it analyses the extent to which law and particularly human rights law can be utilised to meaningfully challenge the unjust patterns of human-ocean interaction that MSP preserves or creates and so provide a vehicle for the formulation and realisation of transformative blue futures. The book looks to human rights as norms that are uniquely capable of bringing into relief the values cause-and-effect relationships and uncertainties that prevailing capitalist-industrial framings of the ocean tend to downplay or worse disregard. And so from a more pragmatic viewpoint the book argues that the policy and advocacy tools associated with human rights can be used within MSP processes to foster patterns of human-ocean interaction which are more conducive to social and environmental justice. This book will be of interest to legal and planning scholars geographers and others concerned with ocean governance and the ‘blue turn’ in the social sciences and humanities more generally. | Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe
