The Miners: One Union One Industry A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46

The Miners: One Union One Industry A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46

First published in 1979 The Miners: A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46 describes the events and factors that led to the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1946. The World War had a creative as well as a destructive effect on the industry; it compressed fundamental changes into seven short years. By the end of the war the federated trade unions had succeeded in bringing about the unification of their industry; and the various county district and craft associations were themselves also unified in one single national body. Two rival plans emerged during 1945: a coal-owners’ plan in conjunction with an ‘experts’ report’ approved by Churchill and his Caretaker Cabinet and Labour’s ‘plan for the coal industry’ which came into force in 1946 as the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act. Anew epoch in management had begun with a National Coal Board new industrial relations and a new National Union of Mineworkers. This book will be of interest to students of history sociology economics and political science. | The Miners: One Union One Industry A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

This edited volume examines the complex entanglements of human animal and environmental health. It assembles leading scholars from the humanities social sciences natural sciences and medicine to explore existing One Health approaches and to envision a mode of health that is both more-than-human and also more sensitive to and explicit about colonial and neocolonial legacies—urging the decolonization of One Health. While acknowledging the importance of One Health the volume at the same time critically examines its roots highlighting the structural biases and power dynamics still at play in this global health regime. The volume is distinctive in its geographic breadth. It travels from Inuit sled dogs in the Arctic to rock hyraxes in Jerusalem from black-faced spoonbills in Taiwan to street dogs in India from spittle-bugs on Mallorca’s almond trees to jellyfish management at sea and from rabies in sub-Saharan Africa to massive culling practices in South Korea. Together the contributors call for One Health to move toward a more transparent plural and just perception of health that takes seriously the role of more-than-humans and of nonscientific knowledges pointing to ways in which One Health can—and should—be decolonized. This volume will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the medical humanities posthumanities environmental humanities science and technology studies animal studies multispecies ethnography anthrozoology and critical public health.

Alcoholism Treatment in Transition

Alcoholism Treatment in Transition

Originally published in 1980 the purpose of this book was to aid a process of rethinking alcoholism treatment. Such a process was already underway in many parts of the world at the time. It was hoped that this volume would be useful in the modest role of abetting such a rethinking. Alcoholism treatment was definitely in transition abandoning old certainties searching for new syntheses and that is the position this book takes looking for an alternative understanding. The book is divided into six parts: Transition as Challenge; Does Treatment Work?; Towards Better Questions and Better Methodologies; Treatment System as Case For Study; Models in Transition; and Alcohol Agendas. The book also contains one chapter that discusses alcoholism treatment in a developing country not often addressed at the time but acknowledgement that the problem is a global one. | Alcoholism Treatment in Transition

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

Direct Democracy in Switzerland

Only one country in the world-Switzerland-is a direct democracy in which to an extent the people pass their own laws judge the constitutionality of statutes and even have written in effect their own constitution. In this propitious volume Gregory Fossedal reports on the politics and social fabric of what James Bryce has called the nation that has taken the democratic idea to its furthest extent. The lessons Fossedal presents at a time of dissatisfaction with the role of money and privileged elites in many Western democracies are at once timely and urgent. | Direct Democracy in Switzerland

Infodemic in the Era of Post-Truth

Infodemic in the Era of Post-Truth

With the revolution in information technology concerns about the proliferation of false unverified and misleading information have been growing. As one of the severe public health crises in modern history the COVID-19 pandemic has provided a novel context for the post-truth research. In a post-truth era people are no longer interested in investigating objective facts but tend to curl up in echo chambers and resonate with like-minded others. Against this backdrop this book (1) systematically conceptualises post-truth and analyzes its defining characteristics and driving forces (2) examines the nuanced effects of information sources and news consumption behaviours and strategies on COVID-19 misperceptions and knowledge (3) explores the role of social media in shaping COVID-19-related misperceptions and knowledge and (4) highlights the importance of news media literacy in navigating the post-truth era. The book will be essential reading for students and scholars of media and film studies communication studies and comparative studies. It will also be a useful reference for medical and media professionals such as doctors nurses and journalists. | Infodemic in the Era of Post-Truth

Persistence of Poverty in India

Persistence of Poverty in India

What distinguishes Persistence of Poverty from most other poverty studies is the way in which it conceptualises the problem. This volume offers a variety of alternative analytical perspectives and fresh insights into poverty that are key to addressing the problem. In looking at the day to day lived realities of the poor the volume points out that in order to understand poverty one must take into account the wider system of class and power relations in which it is rooted. This volume suggests that ‘democracy in India may be as big a part of the problem as it is of the solution. ’ | Persistence of Poverty in India

Advancing Agroecology in International Law

Advancing Agroecology in International Law

Producing enough food is a basic human priority and a critical challenge in the face of a growing population and the deteriorating ecological health of the planet. Modern agricultural practices promise to maximise the productive efficiency of available land but are one of the main drivers of agro- and biodiversity loss. Agroecology which places ecological sustainability and diversity at the heart of agriculture is one response to these challenges. It presents agriculture not only as the process through which food is produced but as a dynamic socioecological phenomenon that exists through networks comprising natural and human stakeholders at global national and subnational levels. Drawing on a combination of agroecological and legal literature this book explores where there is space in international law to pursue agroecology. Using a range of case studies it demonstrates how concepts mechanisms and regulatory approaches in the law advance and can be reformed to further advance an agroecological legal framework that allows humanity to meet its agricultural needs in a way that protects the natural and cultural diversity that is fundamental to the ecological integrity of the planet. | Advancing Agroecology in International Law

Caribbean Literature in English

Caribbean Literature in English

Caribbean Literature in English places its subject in its precise regional context. The `Caribbean' generally considered as one area is highly discrete in its topography race and languages including mainland Guyana the Atlantic island of Barbados the Lesser Antilles Trinidad and Jamaica whose size and history gave it an early sense of separate nationhood. Beginning with Raleigh's Discoverie of. Guiana (1596) this innovative study traces the sometimes surprising evolution of cultures which shared a common experience of slavery but were intimately related to individual local areas. The approach is interdisciplinary examining the heritage of the plantation era and the issues of language and racial identity it created. From this base Louis James reassesses the phenomenal expansion of writing in the contemporary period. He traces the influence of pan-Caribbean movements and the creation of an expatriate Caribbean identity in Britain and America: `Brit'n' is considered as a West Indian island created by `colonization in reverse'. Further sections treat the development of a Caribbean aesthetic and the repossession of cultural roots from Africa and Asia. Balancing an awareness of the regional identity of Caribbean literature with an exploration of its place in world and postcolonial literatures this study offers a panoramic view that has become one of the most vital of the `new literatures in English'. This accessible overview of Caribbean writing will appeal to the general reader and student alike and particularly to all who are interested in or studying Caribbean literatures and culture postcolonial studies Commonwealth 'new literatures' and contemporary literature and drama.

NATØ: Narrative Architecture in Postmodern London

NATØ: Narrative Architecture in Postmodern London

Chronicling the last radical architectural group of the twentieth century – NATØ (Narrative Architecture Today) – who emerged from the Architectural Association at the start of the 1980s this book explores the group’s work which echoed a wider artistic and literary culture that drew on the specific political social and physical condition of 1980s London. It traces NATØ’s identification with a particular stream of post-punk postmodern expression: a celebration of the abject an aesthetic of entropy and a do-it-yourself provisionality. NATØ has most often been documented in reference to Nigel Coates (the instigator of NATØ) which has led to a one-sided one-dimensional record of NATØ’s place in architectural history. This book sets out a more detailed contextual history of NATØ told through photographs drawings and ephemera restoring a truer polyvocal narrative of the group’s ethos and development. | NATØ: Narrative Architecture in Postmodern London
