Heavy Metal at the Movies

Heavy Metal at the Movies

The chapters collected in this volume shed light on the areas of interaction between film studies and heavy metal research exploring how the audio-visual medium of film relates to builds on and shapes metal culture. At one end of the spectrum metal music serves as a form of ambient background in horror films that creates an intense and somewhat threatening atmosphere; at the other end the high level of performativity attached to the metal spectacle is emphasized. Alongside these tendencies the recent and ongoing wave of metal documentaries has taken off relying on either satire or hagiography. | Heavy Metal at the Movies

Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

This monograph is an innovative endeavour in many ways. First it brings to the fore the synergy between human evolution and economic and social progress. Second it acknowledges the critical contributions from the routine adherence to contextual truth and contextual non-violence of humanity at large. Finally it argues that the world is sliding towards evolutionary failure by not moving further forward in the adherence to the two core human values. For all those interested in development in a holistic sense the book will inspire thinking and debate. Human evolution will go on – one way or the other – with or without adherence to truth and non-violence. The book stresses the time is now to go for the best and eschew the worst. | Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

Industrial Heritage and Regional Identities

Industrial Heritage and Regional Identities

Heritage is not what we see in front of us it is what we make of it in our heads. Heritage sites have been connected to a range of identarian projects both spatial and non-spatial. One of the most common links with heritage has been national identity. This book stresses that heritage has developed powerful links to regional and local identities. Contributors deal explicitly with regions of heavy industry in different parts of the world exploring non-spatial forms of identity: including class religious ethnic racial gender and cultural identities. In many heritage sites non-spatial forms of identity are interlinked with spatial ones. Civil society action has been important in representations of regional identities and industrial-heritage campaigns. Region-branding seems to determine the ultimate success of industrial heritage a process that is closely connected to the marketing of regions to provide a viable economic future and attract tourism to the region. Selected case-studies on coal and steel producing regions in this book provide the first global survey of how regions of heavy industry deal with their industrial heritage and what it means for regional identity and region-branding. This book draws a range of powerful conclusions about the path dependency of particular forms for post-industrial regional identity in former regions of heavy industry. It highlights both commonalities and differences in the strategies employed with regard to the regions’ industrial heritage. This book will appeal to lecturers students and scholars in the fields of heritage management industrial studies and cultural geography. | Industrial Heritage and Regional Identities

Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

Do you feel like you’re the only person at your office without an I Voted! sticker on Election Day? It turns out that you're far from alone – 100 million eligible U. S. voters never went to the polls in 2016. That’s about 35 million more than voted for the winning presidential candidate. In this book Christopher Freiman explains why these 100 million need not feel guilty. Why It’s OK to Ignore Politics argues that you’re under no obligation to be politically active. Freiman addresses new objections to political abstention as well as some old chestnuts (But what if everyone stopped voting?). He also synthesizes recent empirical work showing how our political motivations distort our choices and reasoning. Because participating in politics is not an effective way to do good Freiman argues that we actually have a moral duty to disengage from politics and instead take direct action to make the world a better place. Key Features: Makes the case against a duty of political participation for a non-expert audience Presupposes no knowledge of philosophy or political science and is written in a style free of technical jargon Addresses the standard much-repeated arguments for why one should vote (e. g. one shouldn’t free ride on the efforts of others) Presents the growing literature on politically motivated reasoning in an accessible and entertaining way Covers a significant amount of new ground in the debate over a duty of political participation (e. g. whether participating absolves us of our complicity in state injustice) Challenges the increasingly popular argument from philosophers and economists that swing state voting is effective altruism Discusses the therapeutic benefits of ignoring politics—it’s good for you your relationships and society as a whole. | Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

The Effect An Introduction to Research Design and Causality

The Effect An Introduction to Research Design and Causality

The Effect: An Introduction to Research Design and Causality is about research design specifically concerning research that uses observational data to make a causal inference. It is separated into two halves each with different approaches to that subject. The first half goes through the concepts of causality with very little in the way of estimation. It introduces the concept of identification thoroughly and clearly and discusses it as a process of trying to isolate variation that has a causal interpretation. Subjects include heavy emphasis on data-generating processes and causal diagrams. Concepts are demonstrated with a heavy emphasis on graphical intuition and the question of what we do to data. When we “add a control variable” what does that actually do? Key Features: • Extensive code examples in R Stata and Python • Chapters on overlooked topics in econometrics classes: heterogeneous treatment effects simulation and power analysis new cutting-edge methods and uncomfortable ignored assumptions • An easy-to-read conversational tone • Up-to-date coverage of methods with fast-moving literatures like difference-in-differences | The Effect An Introduction to Research Design and Causality

The Theology of Unity

The Theology of Unity

Originally published in 1966 this was the first of Muhammad ‘Abduh’s works to be translated into English.

The Architecture of Ethics

The Architecture of Ethics

Ethics is one of the most important and least understood aspects of design practice. In his latest book Thomas Fisher shows how ethics are inherent to the making of architecture – and how architecture offers an unusual and useful way of looking at ethics. The Architecture of Ethics helps students in architecture and other design disciplines to understand the major approaches to ethics and to apply them to the daily challenges they face in their work. The book covers each of the four dominant approaches to ethics: virtue ethics social contract ethics duty ethics and utilitarian ethics. Each chapter examines the dilemmas designers face from the perspective of one of these categories. Written in an accessible jargon-free style the text also features 100 illustrations to help integrate these concepts into the design process and to support visual understanding. Ethics is now a required part of accredited architecture programs making this book essential reading for all students in architecture and design.

The Ethics of Climate Engineering Solar Radiation Management and Non-Ideal Justice

The Ethics of Climate Engineering Solar Radiation Management and Non-Ideal Justice

This book analyzes major ethical issues surrounding the use of climate engineering particularly solar radiation management (SRM) techniques which have the potential to reduce some risks of anthropogenic climate change but also carry their own risks of harm and injustice. The book argues that we should approach the ethics of climate engineering via non-ideal theory which investigates what justice requires given the fact that many parties have failed to comply with their duty to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically it argues that climate justice should be approached comparatively evaluating the relative justice or injustice of feasible policies under conditions that are likely to hold within relevant timeframes. Likely near-future conditions include pessimistic scenarios in which no available option avoids serious ethical problems. The book contends that certain uses of SRM can be ethically defensible in some pessimistic scenarios. This is the first book devoted to the many ethical issues surrounding climate engineering. | The Ethics of Climate Engineering Solar Radiation Management and Non-Ideal Justice

A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum

A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum

The Sylloge Tacticorum is a mid-Byzantine example of the literary genre of military manuals or Taktika which stretches back to antiquity. It was one of a number produced during the tenth century CE a period when the Byzantine empire enjoyed a large measure of success in its wars against its traditional enemy the Arabs. Compiled to record and preserve military strategies know-how and tactics the manual discusses a wide variety of matters: battle formations raids sieges ambushes surprise attacks the treatment of prisoners of war and defectors distribution of booty punishment of military offences how to mount effective espionage and how to send and receive envoys. There is even advice on the personal qualities required by generals on how to neutralize enemy horses and on how to protect the troops against poisoned food. The work culminates in an account of the stratagems employed by great Greek and Roman military commanders of the past. While like so much of Byzantine literature the Sylloge often simply reproduces material found in earlier texts it also preserves a great deal of information about the military tactics being developed by the Byzantine army during the tenth century. It is the first Byzantine source to record the reappearance of a specialized heavy cavalry (the kataphraktoi) and of a specialized infantry (the menavlatoi) used to repel the attacks of the opposing heavy cavalry. There is also a great deal of information on new infantry and cavalry formations and on the new tactics that required them. This is the first complete translation of the Sylloge into English. It is accompanied by a glossary of the specialised Greek military vocabulary used in the work and by footnotes which explain obscure references and identify the author’s classical and Byzantine sources. An introduction places the work in its historical and literary context and considers some of the questions that | A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum

Wild Animal Ethics The Moral and Political Problem of Wild Animal Suffering

Wild Animal Ethics The Moral and Political Problem of Wild Animal Suffering

Though many ethicists have the intuition that we should leave nature alone Kyle Johannsen argues that we have a duty to research safe ways of providing large-scale assistance to wild animals. Using concepts from moral and political philosophy to analyze the issue of wild animal suffering (WAS) Johannsen explores how a collective institutional obligation to assist wild animals should be understood. He claims that with enough research genetic editing may one day give us the power to safely intervene without perpetually interfering with wild animals’ liberties. Questions addressed include: In what way is nature valuable and is intervention compatible with that value? Is intervention a requirement of justice? What are the implications of WAS for animal rights advocacy? What types of intervention are promising? Expertly moving the debate about human relations with wild animals beyond its traditional confines Wild Animal Ethics is essential reading for students and scholars of political philosophy and political theory studying animal ethics environmental ethics and environmental philosophy. | Wild Animal Ethics The Moral and Political Problem of Wild Animal Suffering

The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

Human genetic technology has advanced rapidly in recent years to the point where amniocentesis is commonplace and in vitro fertilization has been successful. On the horizon looms the specter of human cloning and genetic engineering raising a storm of new moral and ethical questions. These questions asserts the author are not the only ones to be considered; the impact and role of public policy are equally critical. What part should the state play in human genetic intervention? To what extent does a democratic society have the duty to take steps to reduce genetic disease and improve the quality of life through genetic engineering? If society has such responsibility at what stage does societal good preempt individual rights? What is society's obligation toward future generations and is genetic manipulation justifiable on these grounds? After surveying the state of the art the author grapples with these questions contending that decisions ultimately will not be based on ethical and moral grounds –they will be fought out in the political arena. | The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

Islam Women's Sexuality and Patriarchy in Indonesia Silent Desire

Islam Women's Sexuality and Patriarchy in Indonesia Silent Desire

This book explores the intimate marital relationships of Indonesian Muslim married women. As well as describing and analysing their sexual relationships the book also investigates how Islam influences discourses of sexuality in Indonesia and in particular how Islamic teachings affect Muslim married women’s perceptions and behaviour in their sexual relationships with their husbands. Based on extensive original research the book reveals that Muslim women perceive marriage as a social cultural and religious obligation that they need to fulfil; that they realise that finding an ideal marriage partner is complicated with some having the opportunity for a long courtship and others barely knowing their partner prior to marriage; and that there is a strong tendency with some exceptions for women to consider a sexual relationship in marriage as their duty and their husband’s right. Religious and cultural discourses justify and support this view and consider refusal a sin (dosa) or taboo (pamali). Both discourses emphasise obedience towards husbands in marriage. | Islam Women's Sexuality and Patriarchy in Indonesia Silent Desire

Architecture Mentalities and Meaning

Architecture Mentalities and Meaning

In order to function architectural theory and practice must be shaped to suit current cultural economic and political forces. Thus architecture embodies reductive logic that conditions the treatment of human and social processes – which raises the question of how to define objectivity for architectural mentalities that must conform to a set of immediate conditions. This book focuses on meaning and on the physical and mental processes that define life in built environments. The potential to draw knowledge from aesthetics psychology political economy philosophy geography and sociology is offset by the fact that architectural logic is inevitably reductive cultural socio-economic and political. However despite the duty to conform it is argued that the treatment of human processes and the understanding of architectural mentalities can benefit from interdisciplinary linkages small freedoms and cracks in a system of imperatives that can yield the means of greater objectivity. This is valuable reading for students and researchers interested in architectural theory as a working reality and in the relationships between architecture and other fields. | Architecture Mentalities and Meaning

Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Privacy is not just the right to be left alone but also the right to autonomy control and access to your personal data. The employment of new technologies over the last three decades drives personal data to play an increasingly important role in our economies societies and everyday lives. Personal information has become an increasingly valuable commodity in the digital age. At the same time the abundance and persistence of personal data have elevated the risks to individuals’ privacy. In the age of Big Data the Internet of Things Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to fully comprehend let alone control how and for what purposes organizations collect use and disclose their personal information. Consumers are growing increasingly concerned about their privacy making the need for strong privacy champions ever more acute. With a veritable explosion of data breaches highlighted almost daily across the globe and the introduction of heavy-handed privacy laws and regulatory frameworks privacy has taken center stage for businesses. Businesses today are faced with increasing demands for privacy protections ever-more complex regulations and ongoing cybersecurity challenges that place heavy demands on scarce resources. Senior management and executives now acknowledge privacy as some of the biggest risks to the business. Privacy traditionally has existed in a separate realm resulting in an unintentional and problematic barrier drawn between the privacy team and the rest of the organization. With many regulatory frameworks to consider building an all-encompassing data privacy program becomes increasingly challenging. Effective privacy protection is essential to maintaining consumer trust and enabling a robust and innovative digital economy in which individuals feel they may participate with confidence. This book aims at helping organizations in establishing a unified integrated enterprise-wide privacy program. This book is aiming to help privacy leaders and professionals to bridge the privacy program and business strategies transform legal terms and dead text to live and easy-to-understand essential requirements which organizations can easily implement identify and prioritize privacy program gap initiatives and promote awareness and embed privacy into the everyday work of the agency and its staff. | Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Woman in Italy From the Introduction of the Chivalrous Service of Love to the Appearance of the Professional Actress

Woman in Italy From the Introduction of the Chivalrous Service of Love to the Appearance of the Professional Actress

First published in 1910 this study in social evolution from the 13th to the 16th century functioned as a successor to Jacob Burckhardt’s The Civilisation of the Renaissance in Italy (1860). The author developed Burckhardt’s idea of studying continuous trends over time whilst challenging his idea that Early Modern women enjoyed extraordinary freedom in comparison to their Medieval predecessors. Boulting contrasts the idealization of women with real women at home and in life portraying women as expanding from protective bondage due to economic progress alongside what contemporary scholars saw as the degeneration of the Catholic Faith during and following the Counter Reformation. He explores various roles of Renaissance women including maidens married women housewives motherhood widowhood styles of dress nuns saints courtesans and academics. In doing so Boulting hoped to demonstrate how very substantial yet how wholly partial the emergence of women was during this Late Medieval and Early Modern period and that this coincided with the complete amelioration of humanity and an increase in kindliness and sense of duty among both men and women. | Woman in Italy From the Introduction of the Chivalrous Service of Love to the Appearance of the Professional Actress
