Walking Methodologies in a More-than-human World WalkingLab

Walking Methodologies in a More-than-human World WalkingLab

As a research methodology walking has a diverse and extensive history in the social sciences and humanities underscoring its value for conducting research that is situated relational and material. Building on the importance of place sensory inquiry embodiment and rhythm within walking research this book offers four new concepts for walking methodologies that are accountable to an ethics and politics of the more-than-human: Land and geos affect transmaterial and movement. The book carefully considers the more-than-human dimensions of walking methodologies by engaging with feminist new materialisms posthumanisms affect theory trans and queer theory Indigenous theories and critical race and disability scholarship. These more-than-human theories rub frictionally against the history of walking scholarship and offer crucial insights into the potential of walking as a qualitative research methodology in a more-than-human world. Theoretically innovative the book is grounded in examples of walking research by WalkingLab an international research network on walking (www. walkinglab. org). The book is rich in scope engaging with a wide range of walking methods and forms including: long walks on hiking trails geological walks sensory walks sonic art walks processions orienteering races protest and activist walks walking tours dérives peripatetic mapping school-based walking projects and propositional walks. The chapters draw on WalkingLab’s research-creation events to examine walking in relation to settler colonialism affective labour transspecies participation racial geographies and counter-cartographies youth literacy environmental education and collaborative writing. The book outlines how more-than-human theories can influence and shape walking methodologies and provokes a critical mode of walking-with that engenders solidarity accountability and response-ability. This volume will appeal to graduate students artists and academics and researchers who are interested in Education Cultural Studies Queer Studies Affect Studies Geography Anthropology and (Post)Qualitative Research Methods. | Walking Methodologies in a More-than-human World WalkingLab

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Dogs detect scent from a source that is carried to them in a plume by the wind. The most important tool for a detector dog handler to have on searches is a knowledge of scent plume movement or scent dynamics (the science of scent movement). Such knowledge resides primarily in scientific journals that are largely inaccessible to detector dog handlers and written in language that is difficult to understand. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement: A Handler’s Guide to Environments and Procedures retrieves reviews and interprets the results of pertinent scientific research on scent dynamics and presents these results in terms that are easier for handlers to understand. Information on the physiology of the dog’s nose their sense of smell and the properties of scent provide the essential information on the process of scenting. The composition of training aids for explosives narcotics human remains and other sources is discussed. Recommendations are made on the use of training aids their placement during training and the resulting availability of scent. Potential problems and handler errors in the use of training aids are also examined. The characteristics of scent plumes and how wind influences their movement are a key focus of the book. The primary task for the handler is to get the dog into the scent plume so that the dog can detect the scent and follow it to the source the handler seeks. As such a knowledge of scent and scent plume movement will vastly improve the ability of the handler to accomplish this task. The influence of weather and physical settings such as terrain vegetation ground cover soil and water on scent movement are examined in detail. Strategies for searching detecting and locating sources in all physical settings are presented.

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

The use of solar collectors for domestic hot water over the past 20 years has demonstrated that solar heating systems are now founded on a reliable and mature technology. However the development of similar but more complex systems to provide both domestic hot water and space heating (solar combisystems) resulted in a diverse range of different designs that were not carefully optimized to reflect local climate and practice. Application of energy-efficient building strategies such as improved thermal insulation and use of low temperature heat supply systems is becoming increasingly common. This trend combined with growing environmental awareness and the subsidies available in certain countries favours an increase in market share for solar combisystems. The need for guidelines in selecting the appropriate system and designing this system according to the specific needs of the building and the local environment is therefore now increasingly pressing. This book fills that need. | Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems
