Experiencing 11 November 2018 Commemoration and the First World War Centenary

Experiencing 11 November 2018 Commemoration and the First World War Centenary

In a unique collection of international and interdisciplinary research this book focuses on commemorative events around the world on the same day: 11 November 2018 the centenary of Armistice Day the end of the First World War. It argues that we need to move beyond discourse narrative and how historical events are represented to fully understand what commemoration does socially politically and culturally. Adopting an experiential reframing treats sensory affective and emotional feelings as fundamental to how we collectively understand shared histories and through them shared identities. The volume features 15 case studies from ten countries covering a variety of settings and national contexts specific to the First World War. Together the chapters demonstrate that a new conceptualisation of commemoration is needed: one that attends to how it feels. | Experiencing 11 November 2018 Commemoration and the First World War Centenary

Safety and Health in Confined Spaces

Safety and Health in Confined Spaces

Safety and Health in Confined Spaces goes beyond all other resources currently available. International in scope the 15 chapters and 10 appendices cover every facet of this important subject. A significant addition to the literature this book provides a confined space focus to other health and safety concepts. Confined spaces differ from other workspaces because their boundary surfaces amplify the consequences of hazardous conditions. The relationship between the individual the boundary surface and the hazardous condition is the critical factor in the onset outcome and severity of accidents in these workspaces. The author uses information about causative and other factors from analysis of fatal accidents to develop a hazard assessment and hazard management system. He provides a detailed disciplined protocol covering 36 hazardous conditions that addresses all segments of work-the undisturbed space entry preparation work activity and emergency preparedness and response-and illustrates how to use it. Safety and Health in Confined Spaces gives you the tools you need for preventing and responding to accidents.

Geographical Aesthetics Imagining Space Staging Encounters

Geographical Aesthetics Imagining Space Staging Encounters

Geographical Aesthetics places the terms 'aesthetics' and 'geography' under critical question together responding both to the increasing calls from within geography to develop a 'geographical aesthetics' and a resurgence of interdisciplinary interest in conceptual and empirical questions around geoaesthetics environmental aesthetics as well as the spatialities of the aesthetic. Despite taking up an identifiable role within the geographical imagination and sensibilities for centuries and having what is arguably a key place in the making of the modern discipline aesthetics remains a relatively under-theorized field within geography. Across 15 chapters Geographical Aesthetics brings together timely commentaries by international interdisciplinary scholars to rework historical relations between geography and aesthetics and reconsider how it is we might understand aesthetics. In renewing aesthetics as a site of investigation but also an analytic object through which we can think about worldly encounters Geographical Aesthetics presents a reworking of our geographical imaginary of the aesthetic. | Geographical Aesthetics Imagining Space Staging Encounters

The Cause Effect and Control of Accidental Loss

The Cause Effect and Control of Accidental Loss

The Cause Effect and Control of Accidental Loss takes the reader through 15 phases of a typical workplace accident and shows how accidents can be prevented by the introduction of safety management controls in the form of a structured health and safety management system (SMS). It proposes that once the event has been triggered there is no certainty as to the outcome so workplaces should rely on proactive safety actions rather than reactive ones. Now fully updated this new edition expands on the important concepts from the first edition including hazard identification risk assessment flawed safety management systems the potential for loss and management control. This title: Challenges the paradigm that the measure of consequence (losses) is a good indicator of safety effort Introduces three luck factors that determine the course of the accident sequence Explains what causes accidents their consequences and how to prevent them Showcases accident immediate causes including high-risk (unsafe) acts and high-risk (unsafe) conditions The text is an essential read for professionals graduate students and academics in the field of occupational health safety and industrial hygiene.

The 15 essays gathered in this volume engage the social and cultural changes that define and address the visual language and aesthetic repertoire of cyberpunk – from cybernetic organisms to light energy and data flows from video screens to cityscapes from the vibrant energy of today’s video games to the visual hues of comic book panels and more. Cyberpunk and Visual Culture provides critical analysis close readings and aesthetic interpretations of exactly those visual elements that define cyberpunk today moving beyond the limitations of merely printed text to also focus on the meaningfulness of images forms and compositions that are the heart and lifeblood of cyberpunk graphic novels films television shows and video games.

Environmental Illness Myth & Reality

Environmental Illness Myth & Reality

Environmental illness: certain health professionals and clinical ecologists claim it impacts and inhibits 15 percent of the population. Its afflicted are led to believe environmental illness (EI) originates with food chemicals and other stimuli in their surroundings -as advocates call for drastic measures to remedy the situation. What if relief proves elusive-and the patient is sent on a course of ongoing costly and ineffective treatment?Several hundred individuals who believed they were suffering from EI have been evaluated or treated by Herman Staudenmayer since the 1970s. Staudenmayer believed the symptoms harming his patients actually had psychophysiological origins-based more in fear of a hostile world than any suspected toxins contained in the environment. Staudenmayer's years of research clinical work-and successful care-are now summarized in Environmental Illness: Myth & Reality. Dismissing much of the information that has attempted to defend EI and its culture of victimization Staudenmayer details the alternative diagnoses and treatments that have helped patients recognize their true conditions-and finally overcome them often after years of prolonged suffering. | Environmental Illness Myth & Reality
