In 2003 the Labour Government published its ambitious Sustainable Communities Plan.It promised to bring about a 'step change' in the English planning system and a new emphasis on the construction of more balanced, cohesive, and competitive places. This book uses historical and contemporary materials to document the ways in which policy-makers, in different eras, have sought to use state powers and regulations to create better, more balanced, and sustainable communities and citizens.It charts the changes that have take place in community-building policy frameworks, place imaginations, and core spatial policy initiatives in the UK since 1945.In so doing, it examines the tensions that have emerged within spatial policy over the types of places that should be created and the forms of mobility and fixity required to create them.It also shows that there are significant lessons that can be learnt from the experiences of the past.These can be used to inform contemporary policy debates over issues such as migration, uneven development, key worker housing, and sustainability. The book will be an important text for students and researchers in geography, urban studies, planning, and modern social history.It will also be of interest to practitioners working in central and local government, voluntary organisations, community groups, and those involved in the planning and design of sustainable communities.

Free Download Bringing the Gods to Mind: Mantra and Ritual in Early Indian Sacrifice By Laurie L. Patton
2005 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0520930886 | PDF | 1 MB
This elegantly written book introduces a new perspective on Indic religious history by rethinking the role of mantra in Vedic ritual. In Bringing the Gods to Mind, Laurie Patton takes a new look at mantra as "performed poetry" and in five case studies draws a portrait of early Indian sacrifice that moves beyond the well-worn categories of "magic" and "magico-religious" thought in Vedic sacrifice. Treating Vedic mantra as a sophisticated form of artistic composition, she develops the idea of metonymy, or associational thought, as a major motivator for the use of mantra in sacrificial performance. Filling a long-standing gap in our understanding, her book provides a history of the Indian interpretive imagination and a study of the mental creativity and hermeneutic sophistication of Vedic religion.

Free Download Bring Your Own Device Security Policy Compliance Framework
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031868005 | 373 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 7.4 MB
Proliferation of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) has instigated a widespread change, fast outpacing the security strategies deployed by organizations. The influx of these devices has created information security challenges within organizations, further exacerbated with employees' inconsistent adherence with BYOD security policy. To prevent information security breaches, compliance with BYOD security policy and procedures is vital. This book aims to investigate the factors that determine employees' BYOD security policy compliance by using mixed methods approach. Security policy compliance factors, BYOD practices and security risks were identified following a systematic review approach. Building on Organizational Control Theory, Security Culture and Social Cognitive Theory, a research framework positing a set of plausible factors determining BYOD security policy compliance was developed. Next, with a purposive sample of eight information security experts from selected public sector organizations, interviews and BYOD risk assessments analysis were performed to furnish in-depth insights into BYOD risks, its impact on organizations and recommend control measures to overcome them. This led to the suggestion of four control measures to mitigate critical BYOD security risks such as Security Training and Awareness (SETA), policy, top management commitment and technical countermeasures. The control measures were mapped into the research framework to be tested in the following quantitative phase. The proposed research framework was tested using survey results from 346 employees of three Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) agencies. Using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), the framework's validity and reliability were evaluated, and hypotheses were tested. Findings show that perceived mandatoriness, self-efficacy and psychological ownership are influential in predicting employees' BYOD security policy compliance. Specification of security policy is associated with perceived mandatoriness, while BYOD IT support and SETA are significant towards self-efficacy. Unexpectedly, security culture has been found to have no significant relationship to BYOD security policy compliance. Theoretical, practical, and methodological contributions were discussed and suggestions for future research were recommended. The analysis led to a number of insightful findings that contribute to the literature and the management, which are predominantly centered on traditional computing. In view of the ever-increasing BYOD threats to the security of government information, it is imperative that IT managers establish and implement effective policies to protect vital information assets. Consequently, the findings of this study may benefit policymakers, particularly in the public sector, in their efforts to increase BYOD security policy compliance among employees.

English | ISBN: 1612481345 | 2015 | 328 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Bridging Traditions explores the connections between apparently different zones of comprehension and experience―magic and experiment, alchemy and mechanics, practical mathematics and geometrical mysticism, things earthy and heavenly, and especially science and medicine―by focusing on points of intersection among alchemy, chemistry, and Paracelsian medical philosophy. In exploring the varieties of natural knowledge in the early modern era, the authors pay tribute to the work of Allen Debus, whose own endeavors cleared the way for scholars to examine subjects that were once snubbed as suitable only to the refuse heap of the history of science.
