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

Direct Democracy in Switzerland

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

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Egypt is a country of tremendous land resources but limited water resources The area of cultivated land is only 3. 2 per cent of the gross area. The river Nile is the main sources of water. In the recent years the Governement established large-scale agricultural projects in light of food security related to the population growth. Expansion of irrigated agriculture has to be predomantly relalized bt increasing the water use efficiency. In Egypt the dominant irrigation method is surface irrigation which covers approximately 83 per cent of the irrigated areas. Surface irrigation or gravity methods are generally characterized by a low efficiency. One opportunity to increase the efficiency is to convert surface irrigation to modern irrigation systems which are generaly highly expensive for a country like Egypt. Another option to increase the efficiency of surface irrigation systems is to convert the traditional irrigation method based on continuous flow to surge flow irrigation. Surge flow irrigation is the intermittent application of water to furrows in a series of relatively short on and off time periods. | Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production
