Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean (1986) is a comparative and systematic study of the legacies bequeathed by British and French colonial rule in the Caribbean. It examines in detail what are self-evidently among the more tangible legacies from the era of slavery presently manifest in the region: the pattern structure and decline of the sugar economy in the French and Commonwealth Caribbean; the continuing influence of Britain in the pre- and post-independence political systems of the Commonwealth Caribbean as well as of France over its Caribbean possessions; and the retention and adaptation of cultural forms derived from colonial practice as variously exhibited in the educational and ideological beliefs current within the region. These essays offer provocative insights and report intriguing parallels between the British and French experiences in the region. They also offer new interpretations of the processes at work in the area and confirm the utility of the comparative approach in appraising its problems. | Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Phenomenological Ontology of Breathing The Respiratory Primacy of Being

Phenomenological Ontology of Breathing The Respiratory Primacy of Being

This book studies the phenomenological ontology of breathing. It investigates breathing and air as a question of phenomenological philosophy and looks at phenomenological questions concerning respiratory methodology ontological experience of respiration respiratory spirituality and respiratory embodiment. Drawing on the ideas of Maurice Merleau-Ponty Gaston Bachelard Martin Heidegger Edmund Husserl Luce Irigaray and David Kleinberg-Levin the book argues for the ontological primacy of breathing and develops a new principle of philosophy that the author calls “Silence of Breath Abyss/Yawn of Air”. It asserts that breathing is not a thing- or person-oriented relation but perpetual communication with the immense elemental atmosphere of open and free air. This new phenomenological method of breathing offers readers a chance to begin to wonder rethink re-experience and reimagine all questions of life in an innovative and creative way as aerial and respiratory questions of life. Part of the Routledge Critical Perspectives on Breath and Breathing series the book breaks new ground in phenomenology and phenomenological ontology by offering a decisive and insightful treatment of breath. It will be indispensable for students and researchers of philosophy phenomenology and ontology. It will also be of special interest to Merleau-Ponty scholars as it investigates uncharted dimensions of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy. | Phenomenological Ontology of Breathing The Respiratory Primacy of Being

Imagery and Verbal Processes

Imagery and Verbal Processes

First published in 1978. In this book the author has attempted to present a systematic theoretical and factual account of the role of higher mental processes in human learning and memory and certain aspects of the psychology of perception and language. The major orienting theme of the book is its dual emphasis on nonverbal imagery and verbal processes (inner speech) as memory codes and mediators of behavior. Based on recent experimental evidence the conceptual approach in a sense represents an integration of pre-behavioristic and behavioristic views concerning the nature of thought. The book is intended both as a textbook and as a theoretical monograph.

Global Governance of Civil Aviation Safety

Global Governance of Civil Aviation Safety

This book indicates the shortcomings of the current international legal system and customary international norms that govern international aviation law to comply with contemporary air transport market realities. As the air transport market develops globally the safety regime of civil aviation should also be governed and applied globally. In this book the author departs from current international legal norms to examine the emerging legal field of global administrative law. Through that lens the possibility of reconstructing the set of legal mechanisms that govern domestic and international administrative interaction in the global field of aviation safety is explored. This book demonstrates that a legal system is never complete but always develops in tandem with changing needs i. e. the participation of the affected parties. Exploring the principles of GAL theory contributes to addressing the contemporary legal issues relating to state compliance with international aviation safety standards that would otherwise not be covered by customary international law. In particular the principles of GAL theory regarding global governance and the ‘public’ character of global regulations the role of individuals and states in global governance and state sovereignty are considered valuable contributions to contemporary global aviation safety issues in practice. It is asserted in this book that proper checks and balances in global aviation safety can be improved by making these accessible to individuals by way of national courts. Finally establishing public awareness of global aviation safety standards will eventually create greater pressure on states to implement and enforce them. This book is in an area increasing academic and research interest of practitioners of public international aviation law global administrative law global governance and global aviation safety global air transport market regulations. | Global Governance of Civil Aviation Safety

Cadmium in the Environment

Cadmium in the Environment

The focus of this report is upon information essential to the understanding of the toxic action of cadmium and the relationship between dose (exposure) and effects on human beings and animals. The therapy of cadmium poisoning has not been discussed. This review on cadmium in the environment has been performed under a contract between the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Environmental Hygiene of the Karolinska Institute Sweden. The report is intended to serve as a background paper for a future Air Quality Criteria document on cadmium. Therefore particular attention has been given to information relevant for the evaluation of risks due to long-term exposure to low concentrations of cadmium. Acute effects from short-term exposure to high concentrations are dealt with briefly. In vitro studies without bearing on the main problem have not been dealt with. The report is not limited to effects from exposure via inhalation. Newly accessible information showing that large populations may be exposed considerably via the oral route can elucidate chronic effects of cadmium in general. Man and animals can be victims of secondary exposure through vehicles such as food and water which have been contaminated by cadmium in air.

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume I: Fairy-Tale Revivals: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Revivals

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume I: Fairy-Tale Revivals: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Revivals

This collection opens with marginalized responses to the highly politicized Cinderella traditions in the Anglophone world. In the United States Cinderella was incorporated into the gendered narrative of the American Dream and narratives of empire in the colonial world particularly in the mid-1800s. Marginalized writers have responded to these nationalistic colonial traditions in two distinctive ways: clever Cinderellas who negotiate a broken system or passive Cinderellas who die as anti-heroes in disenchanting fairy tales. This dual tradition of marginalized Cinderellas is also apparent across the Anglophone world. Potential texts include the out-of-print works of Sinèad de Valera excerpts from the novels of Hannah Crafts Jessie Fauset and Julia Kavanagh along with dramas by Ann Devlin and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume I: Fairy-Tale Revivals: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Revivals
