An Analysis of Resemblance

First published in 1952 An Analysis of Resemblance has two-fold aims. The opening chapters seek to present what it is not about. It is not concerned with any sense of resemblance in which that term is used by thinkers generally and widely called Hegelian Idealists. The several subsequent chapters of the work advance an analysis of four senses of resemblance. Two of these four senses would seem to be radical – in the etymological sense of the term. The other two senses are derivative. The concluding chapter advances some considerations as to the bearing of an analysis of resemblance on the matters of universals and taxonomy. Professor Church’s clearly stated ideas will arouse much discussion among students of philosophy. This book helps to round off his studies in this field and is a worthy successor to his earlier works.

Black Women and White Women in the Professions Occupational Segregation by Race and Gender 1960-1980

Women of all racial\ethnic backrounds and minority men have been hailed as the major beneficiaries of the expansion in political economic and employment opportunities of the 1960s and 1970s. The author uses data derived from a twenty year span of census material to provide a thorough analysis of gender and race segregation throughout the professional occupations in the U. S. during this period of massive social change. She makes clear the advances achieved by all groups-men and women black and white-during this period of economic expansion as well as insightfully evaluating the differential advantage of white men against all other race/gender groups. At the same time Professor Sokoloff provides compelling evidence challenging several myths such as that of the two-fer myth whereby black women are said to benefit two-fold from their race and gender statuses from affirmative action. | Black Women and White Women in the Professions Occupational Segregation by Race and Gender 1960-1980

Theorizing the European Neighbourhood Policy

Despite growing scholarly interest in the EU’s flagship policy towards its Eastern and Southern neighbours serious attempts at theory-building on the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) have been largely absent from the academic debate. This book aims at contributing to fill this research gap in a three-fold manner: first and foremost it aims at theorizing the ENP as such explaining the origins development and effectiveness of this policy. Building on this effort it also pursues the broader objective of addressing certain shortcomings in EU external relations theory and even beyond in International Relations theory. Finally it aspires to provide new insights for European policy-makers. It is one of the first volumes to provide different theoretical perspectives on the ENP by revisiting and building bridges between mainstream and critical theories stimulating academic and policy debates and thus setting a novel less EU-centric research agenda.

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Construction as an industry sector is responsible for around one-third of the total worldwide energy usage and about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in the number of buildings and floor space area for residential and commercial purposes has imposed enormous pressure on existing energy sources. Implementations such as efficient usage of building energy systems design measures utilization of local energy resources energy storage and the use of renewable energy sources to meet electricity demands are currently under development and deployment for improving the energy performance index. However integrating all such measures and the development of nearly zero-energy and zero-emission buildings is yet to be explored. In this book the different control techniques and intelligent technologies used to improve the energy performance of buildings are illustrated. Every building energy control system has a two-fold objective for energy and comfort requirements to achieve a high comfort index (for thermal visual air quality humidity and various plug loads) and increase the energy performance index. The most significant aspect in the design of a building’s energy control system is modelling. All the components methodologies and processes involved in developing a renewable energy-driven building are covered in detail. This book is intended for graduates and professionals working towards the development of a sustainable built environment using renewable energy sources. | Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America Explaining Theoretical Puzzles and Policy Continuities

Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America elucidates why many state actors in the Global South exhibit a remarkable degree of policy continuity in their external behavior despite structural incentives for change. This book contends that the theoretical notion of strategic culture is instructive to explain such a puzzle. It extends the application of strategic culture beyond the policy of nuclear deterrence among great powers into other equally strategic areas of policy such as diplomacy political economy regional international institutions legal norms politico-military institutions and different security agendas beyond war and peace for example the illicit drug trade and peacekeeping missions. The overall contribution of this book is three-fold: first it rescues updates and expands the original conceptual and theoretical dimensions of strategic culture. Second it extrapolates further theoretical implications of the concept through its application to five policy domains in Latin America beyond the original application of the strategic culture perspective to nuclear weapons strategy among great powers in the 1970s. Third it draws together the theoretical and policy implications of the strategic cultures in Latin America and identifies possible applications for other peripheral non-great power policy areas and issues in the Global South. This book will be of interest to academics graduate and undergraduate students policy analysts and practitioners of Latin American Studies International Relations Theory and Security Studies. | Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America Explaining Theoretical Puzzles and Policy Continuities

The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

This book invites a close textual encounter with the first 11 chapters of Genesis as an intimate drama of marginalised peoples wrestling with the rise of the world’s first grain states in the Mesopotamian alluvium. The initial 11 chapters of Genesis are often considered discordant and fragmentary despite being a story of beginnings within the context of the Bible. Readers discover how these formative chapters cohere as a cross-generational account of peoples grappling with the hegemonic spread of domesticated grain production and the concomitant rise of the pristine states of Mesopotamia. The book reveals how key episodes from the Genesis narrative reflect major societal revolutions of the Neolithic period in Mesopotamia through a three-fold hermeneutical method: literary analysis of the Bible and contemporary cuneiform texts; modern scholarship from archaeological anthropological ecological and historical sources; and relevant exegesis from the Second Temple and rabbinical era. These three strands entwine to recount a generally sequential story of the earliest archaic states as narrated by non-elites at the margins of these emerging state spaces. The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1–11 provides a fascinating reading of the first 11 chapters of Genesis appealing to students and scholars of the Hebrew Bible and the Near East as well as those working on ecological injustice from a religious vantage point. | The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

Tourism in Post-Communist States Central and Eastern Europe

This book addresses tourism and its development in the post-communist context of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Although it has been over 30 years since many countries of Central and Eastern Europe embarked on the path of transition from state socialism to capitalism and liberal democracy the ongoing atrocious events in Ukraine bluntly remind us that the perception of CEE as a ‘transition’ region may have been done away with too early and that the legacies of communism continue to influence the reality of the region. Tourism is no exception here. While on the one hand tourism has significantly contributed to the post-communist restructuring of CEE on the other the communist heritage has played (and still plays) an important role in shaping the tourism geographies of the CEE region. The book consists of 14 chapters (divided into two sections) a new introduction and a reflective concluding section. All 14 main chapters in this book were originally published in the Tourism Geographies journal. The aim of the book is two-fold. First it summarises distils and highlights the important and often ground-breaking contributions Tourism Geographies has made over the years to the debate on tourism in CEE. Second it lays foundations for further research on tourism in the post-communist states of CEE. This book will be of great interest to upper-level students researchers and academics in various disciplines – human geography politics sociology and tourism studies in general. | Tourism in Post-Communist States Central and Eastern Europe

The Great Class Shift How New Social Class Structures are Redefining Western Politics

This thought-provoking book offers a new global approach to understand how four social class structures have rocked our political systems to the extent that no politician or political party can exist today without claiming to be speaking on their behalf and no politician can hope to win an electoral majority without building a coalition among these classes. Based on a four-fold analysis - Urban and Liberal Creatives Suburban Middle Class White Working Class and the Millennials - this book shows that while many have focused on a supply-side vision of politics to explain the upheavals in our political party systems a vision centred on demand – and the Weberian take on political parties as vehicles for class interests – is more compelling. In 2016 our political world was changed forever by the victories of Brexit in the UK and Donald Trump in the USA. Far from being confined to the Anglosphere however changes have also rocked the political landscapes in Europe. As the crisis of 2008 has shaken the foundations of Western societies shrinking the size of the previously all-powerful middle class new classes have emerged and with them a new political demand that new (or old) parties have tried to satisfy. This book will be of key interest to political practitioners (politicians advisors/consultants journalists political pundits party builders and government officials) and more broadly to academics students and readers of European and Western politics political sociology party politics and political parties and electoral demographics. | The Great Class Shift How New Social Class Structures are Redefining Western Politics

The Psychoanalysis of the Absurd Existentialism and Phenomenology in Contemporary Psychoanalysis

The Psychoanalysis of the Absurd offers an interdisciplinary study of Existentialism and Phenomenology and their importance to the clinical work of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. The concept of Absurdity developed by Camus has never been applied to the therapeutic situation or directly contrasted with its antithesis; the search for personal meaning. The book begins with narrative accounts of the historical development of Psychoanalysis Existentialism and Phenomenology in 20th century Europe. The focus here is on fin de siècle Vienna and Paris between the Wars as the principal incubators of the two disciplines. Accompanied by composite case illustrations Leffert then explores his own development of the Psychoanalysis of the Absurd drawing on the work of Camus Heidegger and Sartre. Absurdity is first discussed in relation to the Bio-Psycho-Social Self and Dasein is posited as a bridge concept with personal meaning as the antithesis to Absurdity before being discussed in relation to the world and how it impinges on self. A final chapter attempts to tie together particular issues raised by the book: Subjective well-being Meaning thrownness Absurdity Death and Death Anxiety and how we have become technologically enhanced human beings. Existential psychotherapy and psychoanalysis have until now largely gone their own way: the goal of this book is to fold them back into Contemporary Psychoanalysis. Establishing that the concept of Absurdity is of singular clinical importance to both diagnosis and therapeutic action this book will be of great interest to clinicians philosophers and interdisciplinary scientists. | The Psychoanalysis of the Absurd Existentialism and Phenomenology in Contemporary Psychoanalysis

Biochar for Environmental Management Science Technology and Implementation

Biochar is the carbon-rich product which occurs when biomass (such as wood manure or crop residues) is heated in a closed container with little or no available air. It can be used to improve agriculture and the environment in several ways and its persistence in soil and nutrient-retention properties make it an ideal soil amendment to increase crop yields. In addition to this biochar sequestration in combination with sustainable biomass production can be carbon-negative and therefore used to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with potentially major implications for mitigation of climate change. Biochar production can also be combined with bioenergy production through the use of the gases that are given off in the pyrolysis process. The first edition of this book published in 2009 was the definitive work reviewing the expanding research literature on this topic. Since then the rate of research activity has increased at least ten-fold and biochar products are now commercially available as soil amendments. This second edition includes not only substantially updated chapters but also additional chapters: on environmental risk assessment; on new uses of biochar in composting and potting mixes; a new and controversial field of studying the effects of biochar on soil carbon cycles; on traditional use with very recent discoveries that biochar was used not only in the Amazon but also in Africa and Asia; on changes in water availability and soil water dynamics; and on sustainability and certification. The book therefore continues to represent the most comprehensive compilation of current knowledge on all aspects of biochar. | Biochar for Environmental Management Science Technology and Implementation
