The Routledge Handbook on Ecosocialism

The Routledge Handbook on Ecosocialism

Building on the classical works that have propelled and shaped ecosocialist thinking and action and more recent political developments on the ground the volume will provide a reference point for international work in the field both directly political and academic. The Handbook acquaints readers with the varied roots of and sometimes conflicting approaches to ecosocialism. It does not attempt any unification of ecosocialist currents. Rather it aims to provide a resource that is as comprehensive as possible with respect not only to theorization and ideological framing but also and especially to existing projects practices and movements and giving a sense of the geographical reach that ecosocialism so far represents. This includes scholarship that extends Marxist foundations and reflects on more recent political developments. The theoretical and practice-oriented moorings are buttressed by discussions on movements frameworks and prefigurative processes as well as on social struggles occurring within institutional settings. Together the collection offers a reference point for international work in the field in social movements and in institutional transformations. Providing detailed but accessible overviews of the complex varied dimensions of ecosocialism the Handbook is an essential up-to-date guide and reference not only for researchers but also for undergraduate and graduate students in geography environmental studies development studies sociology and political science as well as for policymakers and activists. | The Routledge Handbook on Ecosocialism

The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

This bold and ambitious handbook is the first systematic overview of the history of development ideas themes and actors in the twentieth century. Taking stock of the field the book reflects on blind spots points out avenues for future research and brings together a greater plurality of regions actors and approaches than other publications on the subject. The book offers a critical reassessment of how historical experiences have shaped contemporary understandings of development demonstrating that the seemingly self-evident concept of development has been contingent on a combination of material conditions power structures and policy choices at different times and in different places. Using a world history approach the handbook highlights similarities in development challenges across time and space and it pays attention to the meanings of ideological cultural and economic divides in shaping different understandings and practices of development. Taking a thematic approach the book shows how different actors – governments non-governmental organizations individuals corporations and international organizations – have responded to concerns regarding the conditions in their own or other societies such as the provision of education health or food; approaches to infrastructure development and industrialization; the adjustment of social conditions; population policies and migration; and the maintenance of stability and security. Bringing together a range of voices from across the globe this book will be perfect for advanced students and researchers of international development history. | The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Written by high performance computing (HPC) experts Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers provides a solid introduction to current mainstream computer architecture dominant parallel programming models and useful optimization strategies for scientific HPC. From working in a scientific computing center the authors gained a unique perspective on the requirements and attitudes of users as well as manufacturers of parallel computers. The text first introduces the architecture of modern cache-based microprocessors and discusses their inherent performance limitations before describing general optimization strategies for serial code on cache-based architectures. It next covers shared- and distributed-memory parallel computer architectures and the most relevant network topologies. After discussing parallel computing on a theoretical level the authors show how to avoid or ameliorate typical performance problems connected with OpenMP. They then present cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) optimization techniques examine distributed-memory parallel programming with message passing interface (MPI) and explain how to write efficient MPI code. The final chapter focuses on hybrid programming with MPI and OpenMP. Users of high performance computers often have no idea what factors limit time to solution and whether it makes sense to think about optimization at all. This book facilitates an intuitive understanding of performance limitations without relying on heavy computer science knowledge. It also prepares readers for studying more advanced literature. Read about the authors' recent honor: Informatics Europe Curriculum Best Practices Award for Parallelism and Concurrency.

The Routledge Handbook on Radicalisation and Countering Radicalisation

The Routledge Handbook on Radicalisation and Countering Radicalisation

This handbook provides a theoretical and methodological exploration of the research on radicalisation and counter-radicalisation one of the most influential concepts in Security Studies International Relations and Peace and Conflict Studies. Sitting at the heart of high-profile research and policy agendas on preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) radicalisation as a concept has transformed the way researchers policymakers and societies think about how to counter terrorism and political violence. Deliberations about radicalisation and countering radicalisation have become further embedded as efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism have been ‘mainstreamed’ into other areas of public policy and practice such as education gender relations health peacebuilding aid and development. Theoretically and methodologically pluralistic this handbook addresses radicalisation and countering radicalisation as they relate to a wide range of groups and milieus articulating diverse ideological positions drawing together insight and experience from multiple geographic and institutional settings integrating global perspectives and including scholarship focused on a range of policy fields. This book will be an essential reference point for anybody working on radicalisation countering radicalisation or terrorism and political violence more broadly. The insight that it provides will be relevant for both academics and members of relevant policy and practitioner communities. | The Routledge Handbook on Radicalisation and Countering Radicalisation
