Reciprocal Landscapes Stories of Material Movements

Reciprocal Landscapes Stories of Material Movements

How are the far-away invisible landscapes where materials come from related to the highly visible urban landscapes where those same materials are installed? Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements traces five everyday landscape construction materials – fertilizer stone steel trees and wood – from seminal public landscapes in New York City back to where they came from. Drawing from archival documents photographs and field trips the author brings these two separate landscapes – the material’s source and the urban site where the material ended up – together exploring themes of unequal ecological exchange labor and material flows. Each chapter follows a single material’s movement: guano from Peru that landed in Central Park in the 1860s granite from Maine that paved Broadway in the 1890s structural steel from Pittsburgh that restructured Riverside Park in the 1930s London plane street trees grown on Rikers Island by incarcerated workers that were planted on Seventh Avenue north of Central Park in the 1950s and the popular tropical hardwood ipe from northern Brazil installed in the High Line in the 2000s. Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements considers the social political and ecological entanglements of material practice challenging readers to think of materials not as inert products but as continuous with land and the people that shape them and to reimagine forms of construction in solidarity with people other species and landscapes elsewhere. | Reciprocal Landscapes Stories of Material Movements

Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

While the number of publications on corporate social responsibility has skyrocketed since the last economic crisis that began in 2008 challenges still remain in the modern economy that make socially responsible business a leading topic both in the field of science and business practice. The concept of corporate social responsibility covers not only practices implemented by enterprises but also attitudes represented by consumers and other market entities. Though much has been written about corporate social responsibility and the potential benefits it offers businesses there remains a misunderstanding of corporate social responsibility (CSR) responsible management (RM) and responsible consumption (RC). Examining the level of responsible management practices implemented by Polish enterprises and assessing consumer attitudes in the field of corporate social responsibility will serve to identify best business practices and enhance management theory. Because this research examines both sides of the market companies and consumers it offers a more holistic view on social responsibility responsible management and responsible consumer behaviour. The contribution of this book is the development of the assessment tool for measuring social responsibility of every enterprise – Enterprise Social Responsibility Index (EnSRI) and Consumer Social Responsibility Index (CnSRI). This book is written to meet the needs of academics students company owners and managers. It also provides an integrated view of responsibility from the point of view of both enterprises and consumers. | Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

Ibn al-Haytham and Analytical Mathematics A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics Volume 2

Ibn al-Haytham and Analytical Mathematics A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics Volume 2

This volume provides a unique primary source on the history and philosophy of mathematics and the exact sciences in the mediaeval Arab world. The second of five comprehensive volumes this book offers a detailed exploration of Arabic mathematics in the eleventh century as embodied in the legacy of the celebrated polymath al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham. Extensive analyses and annotations from the eminent scholar Roshdi Rashed support a number of key Arabic texts from Ibn al-Haytham’s treatises in infinitesimal mathematics translated here into English for the first time. Rashed shows how Ibn al-Haytham’s works demonstrate a remarkable mathematical competence in mathematical subjects like the quadrature of the circle and of lunes the calculation of the volumes of paraboloids the problem of isoperimetric plane figures and solid figures with equal surface areas along with the extraction of square and cubic roots. The present text is complemented by the first volume of A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics which focused on founding figures and commentators in the ninth and tenth centuries Archimedean-Apollonian mathematical ‘School of Baghdad’. This constellation of works illustrates the historical and epistemological development of ‘infinitesimal mathematics’ as it became clearly articulated in the oeuvre of Ibn al-Haytham. Contributing to a more informed and balanced understanding of the internal currents of the history of mathematics and the exact sciences in Islam and of its adaptive interpretation and assimilation in the European context this fundamental text will appeal to historians of ideas epistemologists and mathematicians at the most advanced levels of research. | Ibn al-Haytham and Analytical Mathematics A History of Arabic Sciences and Mathematics Volume 2
