Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide

Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide

In the courtroom critical and life-changing decisions are made based on quantitative forensic science data. There is often a range in which a measured value is expected to fall and in this an inherent uncertainty associated with such measurement. Uncertainty in this context is not error. In fact estimations of uncertainty can add to the utility and reliability of quantitative results be it the length of a firearm barrel the weight of a drug sample or the concentration of ethanol in blood. Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science: A Practical Guide describes and defines the concepts related to such uncertainty in the forensic context. The book provides the necessary conceptual background and framework a baseline for developing and deploying reasonable and defensible uncertainty estimations across forensic disciplines. Information is presented conceptually using easily understood examples to provide a readable handy reference for scientists in the laboratory as well as investigators and legal professionals who require a basic understanding of the science underpinning measurement results. | Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide

D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature

D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature

Shortlisted for the ASLE-UKI Prize for Best Academic Monograph This is the first ecocritical book on the works of D. H. Lawrence and also the first to consider the links between nature and gender in the poetry and the novels. In his search for a balanced relationship between male and female characters what role does nature play in the challenges Lawrence offers his readers? How far are the anxieties of his characters in negotiating relationships that might threaten their sense of self derived from the same source as their anxieties about engaging with the Other in nature? Indeed might Lawrence’s metaphors drawn from nature actually be the causes of human actions in The Rainbow for example? The originality of Lawrence’s poetic and narrative strategies for challenging social attitudes towards both nature and gender can be revealed by new approaches offered by ecocritical theory and ecofeminist readings of his books. This book explores ecocritical notions to frame its ecofeminist readings from the difference between the ‘Other’ and ‘otherness’ in The White Peacock and Lady Chatterley’s Lover ‘anotherness’ in the poetry of Birds Beasts and Flowers psychogeography in Sea and Sardinia emergent ecofeminism in Sons and Lovers land and gender in The Boy in the Bush gender dialogics in Kangaroo human animality in Women in Love trees as tests in Aaron’s Rod to ‘radical animism’ in The Plumed Serpent. Finally three late tales provide a reassessment of ecofeminist insights into Lawrence’s work for readers in the present context of the Anthropocene. | D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature

Classical Islam A History 600 A

Classical Islam A History 600 A

In a book written with the poignancy and beauty appropriate to its subject matter the author opens by reminding us that the essence of a society is in a sense identical with its history. Classical Islam also serves as a reminder that in the case of Islam despite its triumphs on the fields of battle telling its history is the only way open to us to render that essence accessible and show it from all sides. The work offers a grand narrative of a faith that offers an interpretation of the world a way of life and a style of thinking that goes far beyond institutional or political supports. The relevance of this historical perspective is beyond dispute. The period from 610 A. D. when Muhammad received his call until the conquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258 is known as the classical period of Islam. This was the period of the great expansion of Islam both as a political structure and as a religious and intellectual community. It established the base for the development of the high Islamic civilization of North Africa the Near East Persia and India as well as further expansion of the Islamic religious and intellectual community throughout the world. This book presents an authoritative history of the period written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject. Classical Islam examines the relationships both cultural and political between the Islamic world and the Mediterranean countries and India and elaborates on the economic social and intellectual factors and forces that shaped the Muslim world and molded its interactions with infidels. The work is written in a clear and direct narrative form emphasizing simultaneously the major intellectual trends and the political events and tendencies of the formative period in Islamic history that still resonates today. | Classical Islam A History 600 A

Japan and the Pursuit of a New American Identity Work and Education in a Multicultural Age

Japan and the Pursuit of a New American Identity Work and Education in a Multicultural Age

First published in 1993 Japan and the Pursuit of a New American Identity is a sophisticated analysis of the mission of education in a multicultural age. Arguing that American education has been too long constrained by conservative discourse – which positions schools and students as weapons in an international competition with the Japanese – author Walter Feinberg assesses the cultural and philosophical limits of conservative vision as popularized by exponents Allan Bloom and E. D. Hirsch. Feinberg then develops a vision of education which accommodates the growing cultural diversity of American society and American schools. At the heart of Feinberg’s study is a unique philosophical analysis of Japanese and American attitudes towards work and education. Through a series of sensitively developed interview with American and Japanese workers managers parents and teachers who have experienced life in one another’s culture he examines the implications of our profound cultural differences with the Japanese for the development of a new American multicultural identity. This book will be of interest to students of education pedagogy history and public policy. | Japan and the Pursuit of a New American Identity Work and Education in a Multicultural Age

Journeys in Narrative Inquiry The Selected Works of D. Jean Clandinin

Journeys in Narrative Inquiry The Selected Works of D. Jean Clandinin

Organized around a metaphor of an academic journey D. Jean Clandinin offers published tracings of an unfolding journey over 40 years that at its outset appeared to focus only on questions of epistemology. However the book illuminates how that apparent beginning focus shape-shifted to questions of methodology ethics ontology and subsequently political concerns. Clandinin shows that even at the outset her research wonders were grounded in relational understandings of experience understandings that were simultaneously ontological methodological epistemological and ethical. Jean’s work is collaborative an engagement alongside others and within the contexts in which they and she lived and worked including those who were participants in the research. She continues to acknowledge that narrative inquiry changes people’s ways of being in the world and those changes have ethical significance. While what she and her colleagues now call relational ethics has always been central recently her sense of ethics has become more explicitly political. She shows the development of ideas over time beginning as she entered doctoral work and continuing through 2019 and onward. Jean’s work centered on relational understandings of experience highlights ethical dimensions and has come to define narrative understandings for generations of researchers. This book will be an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students and professional researchers in both educational and healthcare settings. . | Journeys in Narrative Inquiry The Selected Works of D.

Social Amnesia A Critique of Contemporary Psychology

Social Amnesia A Critique of Contemporary Psychology

Russell Jacoby defines social amnesia as society's repression of remembrance - society's own past. In this book Jacoby excavates the critical and historical concepts that have fallen prey to the dynamic of a society that strips them both of their historical and critical content. Social Amnesia is an effort to remember what is perpetually lost under the pressure of society. It is simultaneously a critique of present practices and theories in psychology. Jacoby's new self-evaluation has the same sharp edge as the book itself offering special insights into the evolution of psychological theory during the past two decades. In his probing self-critical new introduction Jacoby maintains that any serious appraisal of psychology or sociology or any discipline must seek to separate the political from the theoretical. He discusses how in the years since Social Amnesia was first published society has oscillated from extreme subjectivism to extreme objectivism which feed off each other and constitute two forms of social amnesia: a forgetting of the past and a pseudo-historical consciousness. Social Amnesia contains a forceful argument for thinking against the grain - an endeavor that remains as urgent as ever. It is an important work for sociologists psychologists and psychoanalysts. | Social Amnesia A Critique of Contemporary Psychology

A History of Ireland Under the Union 1801-1922

A History of Ireland Under the Union 1801-1922

Originally published in 1952 A History of Ireland Under the Union was written by an historian who played an active part in the political events of the later part of the period. In Ireland there are two national traditions: that of the Kingdom of the Gael established at the end of the 4th Century A. D. and the other colonial tradition evolved by the descendants of various generations of Planters from England. The book provides a full account of 19th Century Irish history and shows how the colonial nationalists discarded their nationalism after 1801 and how the emerging Gael under Daniel O’ Connell adopted and fused the two traditions into an Irish national tradition which was vitalised by Irish literature and culture. Containing much original source material the book throws light on aspects of Irish history whose significance is often overlooked such as the part played by the RIC and the Secret Societies in Ireland and the USA. | A History of Ireland Under the Union 1801-1922

Moral Teleology A Theory of Progress

Moral Teleology A Theory of Progress

This book develops a unified theory of moral progress. The author argues that there are mechanisms in place that consistently drive societies towards moral improvement and that a sophisticated naturalistically respectable form of teleology can be defended. The book’s main aim is to flesh out the process of moral progress in more detail and to show how when the right mechanisms and institutions of moral progress are matched together they create pressure for the desired types of moral gains to manifest. The first part of the book deals with two issues: the conceptual one about what moral progress is and the broadly empirical one whether it is possible. It shows that cultural evolution successfully explains the origins of modern forms of morally welcome change. The second part argues that there is logical space for a moderate scientifically credible form of teleology and that the converse case for moral decline is weak. It addresses the types drivers and institutions of moral progress that allow for the storage transmission and cumulative improvement of our normative infrastructure over time. Finally the third part demonstrates why moral progress cannot be accounted for in metaethically realist terms. Moral Teleology will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in ethics moral epistemology and moral psychology.

Ghazālī’s Epistemology A Critical Study of Doubt and Certainty

Ghazālī’s Epistemology A Critical Study of Doubt and Certainty

Focusing on Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) – one of the foremost scholars and authorities in the Muslim world who is central to the Islamic intellectual tradition – this book embarks on a study of doubt (shakk) and certainty (yaqīn) in his epistemology. The book looks at Ghazālī’s attitude to philosophical demonstration and Sufism as a means to certainty. In early scholarship surrounding Ghazālī he has often been blamed as the one who single-handedly offered the death-blow to philosophy in the Muslim world. In much of contemporary scholarship Ghazālī is understood to prefer philosophy as the ultimate means to certainty granting Sufism a secondary status. Hence much of previous scholarship has either focused on Ghazālī as a Sufi or as a philosopher; this book takes a parallel approach and acknowledges each discipline in its right place. It analyses Ghazālī’s approach to acquiring certainty his methodological scepticism his foundationalism his attitude to authoritative instruction (taʿlim) and the place of philosophical demonstration and Sufism in his epistemology. Offering a systematic and comprehensive approach to Ghazālī’s epistemology this book is a valuable resource for scholars of Islamic philosophy and Sufism in particular and for educated readers of Islamic studies in general. | Ghazālī’s Epistemology A Critical Study of Doubt and Certainty

Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics

Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics

This book aims to overcome the traditional ray paradigm and provide an analytical paradigm for Nonimaging Optics based on Field Theory. As a second objective the authors address the connections between this Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics and other radiative transfer theories. The book introduces the Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics as a new analytical paradigm not statistical to analyze problems in the frame of nonimaging geometrical optics with a formulation based on field theory of irradiance vector D. This new paradigm provides new principles and tools in the optical system design methods complementary to flowline method overcoming the classical ray paradigm. This new Field paradigm can be considered as a generalization of the ray paradigm and new accurate and faster computation algorithms will be developed. In a parallel way the advance in the knowledge of the principles of Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics has produced clear advances in the connection between nonimaging optics and other apparently disconnected theories of radiation transfer. The irradiance vector D can be considered as the macroscopic average of Poynting vector with a clear connection with radiation pressure. Lorentz geometry techniques can also be applied to study irradiance vector D. There are clear thermodynamic connections between the nonimaging concentrator and Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation. From this thermodynamic connection nonimaging optics and irradiance vector D can also be studied from a phase space point of view. This book is intended for researchers graduate students academics and professionals looking to analyze design and optimize optical systems.
