It was not merely a backdrop, but rather an active part of the experiences of its inhabitants, shaping their actions and infusing them with meaning. During each period in Rome's imperial history, her emperors also used the city as a canvas to be painted on, transforming it according to their own ideals or ambitions. ![]() Reproductive Citizenship: Technologies, Rights and Relationships (Health, Technology and Society) English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811694508 | 342 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3.43 MB This book addresses responses to the predicament of medical and social infertility. It draws on international research to examine the dimensions of reproductive citizenship in relation to decision-making about a range of issues: from fertility preservation and the desirability of family creation as a normative expectation of social participation, to how families manage and negotiate engagement with providers of reproductive materials and services around information disclosure and contact, and how they consider their social obligations and responsibilities in relation to the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART). ![]() Ron Johnston, "Representative democracy?: Geography and the British electoral system" English | ISBN: 1526151812 | 2021 | 256 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Members of parliament in the United Kingdom are elected to represent geographic constituencies, but how are these defined and what are the consequences for representative democracy? Following the Conservative party's large majority in the 2019 general election, some have suggested that drastic changes to Britain's constituency boundaries could be afoot, affecting every corner of the UK. As populations grow and move, it is commonly accepted that changes are necessary, but these are fraught with difficulty, and the political consequences may be drastic. This major new survey reveals how constituency mapping has changed since 1832. Tackling issues such as the evolution of an independent procedure, first introduced in 1944, and the new rules for redistributions introduced in 2011, it illustrates how election results have favoured some political parties over others. Is our electoral system and the way it is mapped fit for purpose? ![]() Sean B. Carroll, "Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species" English | ISBN: 1849160724 | 2009 | 288 pages | EPUB | 7 MB In 1809, when Darwin was born, much of the world was an unexplored wilderness. Our knowledge of the past was nonexistent, and our picture of our species' history little more than a set of fantastic myths and fairytales. But a new era was dawning. Five decades later, On the Origin of the Species was able to draw on the pioneering work of explorers and naturalists to produce a theory that revolutionized our conception of our world. And the revolution didn't stop with the publication of Darwin's masterwork. 150 years later, his 'dangerous idea' is still headline news, denied by many, capable of enraging and dividing, even as biologists decipher the 3-billion-year history of life as written in our very DNA. This book tells the stories of the most dramatic adventures and important discoveries in two centuries of natural history - from Alexander von Humboldt's epic journeys in South America to the hi-tech genome-reading projects making headlines today - and how they gave birth to and have nourished the evolution revolution. ![]() John Corrigan, "Religion, Space, and the Atlantic World " English | ISBN: 1611177960 | 2017 | 376 pages | EPUB | 11 MB An interdisciplinary exploration of the influence of physical space in the study of religion ![]() Judith Hanson Lasater, "Relax and Renew: Restful Yoga for Stressful Times Ed 2" English | ISBN: 1930485298 | 2005 | 256 pages | MOBI | 4 MB A longtime yoga instructor reveals how to manage pain, relieve stress, and promote relaxation through the gentle and meditative practices of restorative yoga ![]() Melanie Suchet, Adrienne Harris, Lewis Aron, "Relational Psychoanalysis, Vol. 3: New Voices" English | 2007 | pages: 351 | ISBN: 0881634565 | PDF | 242,0 mb Relational psychoanalysis has revivified psychoanalytic discourse by attesting to the analyst's multidimensional subjectivity and then showing how this subjectivity opens to deeper insights about the experience of analysis. Volume 3 of the Relational Psychoanalysis Book Series enlarges this ongoing project in significant ways. Here, leading relational theorists explore the cultural, racial, class-conscious, gendered, and even traumatized anlagen of the self as pathways to clinical understanding. ![]() Regional Scale Ecological Risk Assessment: Using the Relative Risk Model By Wayne G. Landis 2004 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1566706556 | PDF | 14 MB As debates over how relative risk can be used to shape landscape-scale environmental management intensify, Regional-Scale Risk Assessment demonstrates the capabilities of RRM using nine case studies in the Pacific Northwest, Pennsylvania, Brazil, and Tasmania. The authors use a process of ranking and filters to interrelate different kinds of risks and illustrates how these relative risks are defined, mapped, and analyzed to determine remediation and management priorities. This book provides detailed descriptions for each step of RRM-from the determination of assessment goals to documentation, evaluation, and communication with decision-makers-that can benefit practitioners in environmental risk assessment and related fields worldwide. |
