Karst Hydrogeology and Human Activities: Impacts Consequences and Implications IAH International Contributions to Hydrogeology 20

Karst Hydrogeology and Human Activities: Impacts Consequences and Implications IAH International Contributions to Hydrogeology 20

One quarter of the world's population lives in karst terrains yet karsts are highly vulnerable to stresses caused by human activity. This book surveys human impact on karst water showing that the increasing pollution of the environment has to a great extent spoiled sensitive karst ecosystems. This text examines such consequences and offers proposals for future solutions and strategies. Part One provides an overview of the functioning of karsts and of human interaction with karst environments over several millennia. Part Two consists of a systematic examination of the major areas of human activity affecting karst waters such as agriculture industry mining and water exploitation. Finally Part Three views the effects on karst groundwater within a broader societal and legislative perspective and considers possible changes of methodology and approach. | Karst Hydrogeology and Human Activities: Impacts Consequences and Implications IAH International Contributions to Hydrogeology 20

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

First published in 1977. The volume of research on nonhuman primates has expanded tremendously during the past 20 years and researchers' familiarity with them has increased correspondingly. This series of volumes deals with scientific studies of the behavior of nonhuman primates-apes monkeys and prosimians. The behavior of these animals is of course of interest in its own right. But then so is that of the many other orders of animals. Behavior of nonhuman primates is of special interest because these animals are more closely related to human beings structurally physiologically and beyond doubt behaviorally than are any other living animals. | Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

A Rape of the Soul So Profound began when a young researcher accidentally came upon restricted files in an archives collection. What he read overturned all his assumptions about an important part of Aboriginal experience and Australia's past. The book ends in the present 20 years later in the aftermath of the Royal Commission on the Stolen Generations. Along the way Peter Read investigates how good intentions masked policies with inhuman results. He tells the poignant stories of many individuals some of whom were forever broken and some who went on to achieve great things. This is a book about much sorrow and occasional madness about governments who pretended things didn't happen and about the opportunities offered to right a great wrong. | A Rape of the Soul So Profound The return of the Stolen Generation

Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

Using archaeological evidence the author investigates the prehistories of Austronesian migrants to Taiwan and their connections to contemporary peoples in Taiwan. Due to its unique geographic location Taiwan has played a significant role in various peoples’ maritime migrations and the process of cultural interactions for tens of thousands of years. Within the history of humankind Taiwan has also evidenced a high degree of cultural continuity. Paleolithic people had already settled on the island at least 30 000 years ago but Taiwan only entered the historical period as recently as the 17th century. Before this there was a long and continuous development over the prehistoric period. To this day there are at least 20 different indigenous ethnic groups on the island totalling over half a million people all of whom speak Austronesian languages. Investigating the archaeology of abandoned villages Kuo takes the Paiwan and Sanhe cultures as key case studies of these groups. This book provides valuable insight for historians and archaeologists of Taiwan and scholars of prehistoric Austronesian migration. | Tracing the History of Contemporary Taiwan’s Aboriginal Groups From the Periphery to the Centre

Mobile Japanese Migrants to the Pacific West and East Self-searching Work and Identification

Mobile Japanese Migrants to the Pacific West and East Self-searching Work and Identification

This book explores “self-searching migrants ” a new group of indefinitely globally mobile people whose purpose of overseas stay is the search of true self and the work they really want to do using Japanese trans-Pacific sojourners as the case study. Utilizing testimonies collected from interviews with Japanese migrants in their twenties to forties who had entered the job market between the early 1990s and 2010 and left for the English-speaking countries of Canada Australia and Singapore the book argues that their practices are both ubiquitous and unique the products of global and local contexts of a specific time. As semiskilled migrants from an extra-Western postindustrial country their struggles show a different picture of the West-centric world power system from those experienced by migrant workers from the Global South. Including extensive qualitative research and interview material collected over a 20-year period this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese culture and society cultural anthropology and migration. | Mobile Japanese Migrants to the Pacific West and East Self-searching Work and Identification

Déjà vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory

Déjà vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory

This book collates the work of world-leading researchers on déjà vu and other dissociative states of memory and presents a snapshot of the state of the art in research on these strange phenomena. Déjà vu is the eerie feeling of familiarity for something that you know you have not experienced before—the dissociation between what you feel about your memory and what you know to be true about it. For centuries it has inspired authors artists and musicians leaving psychologists struggling to keep up. The past 20 years though has seen an explosion in research on déjà vu and related experiences. From attempts to generate déjà vu in the laboratory to the study of patients who present with unusual forms of the experience cognitive psychology has begun applying a range of both novel and established techniques to study these psychological experiences that have long captivated the public imagination. Déjà vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Psychology including Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience.

Curating with Care

Curating with Care

This book presents over 20 authors’ reflections on ‘curating care’ – and presents a call to give curatorial attention to the primacy of care for all life and for more ‘caring curating’ that responds to the social ecological and political analysis of curatorial caregiving. Social and ecological struggles for a different planetary culture based on care and respect for the dignity of life are reflected in contemporary curatorial practices that explore human and non-human interdependence. The prevalence of themes of care in curating is a response to a dual crisis: the crisis of social and ecological care that characterizes global politics and the professional crisis of curating under the pressures of the increasingly commercialized cultural landscape. Foregrounding that all beings depend on each other for life and survival this book collects theoretical essays methodological challenges and case studies from curators working in different global geographies to explore the range of ways in which curatorial labour is rendered as care. Practising curators activists and theorists situate curatorial labour in the context of today’s general care crisis. This volume answers to the call to more fully understand how their transformative work allows for imagining the future of bodily social and environmental care and the ethics of interdependency differently. | Curating with Care

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius

Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius is a forensic examination of two of the most famous letters from the ancient Mediterranean world: Pliny the Younger’s Epistulae 6. 16 and 6. 20 which offer a contemporary account of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. These letters sent to the historian Tacitus provide accounts by Pliny the Younger about what happened when Mt Vesuvius exploded destroying the surrounding towns and countryside including Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing his uncle Pliny the Elder. This volume provides the first comprehensive full-length treatment of these documents contextualized by evidence-rich biographies for both Plinys and a synthesis of the latest archaeological and volcanological research which answers questions about the eruption date. A new collation of sources results in a detailed manuscript tradition and an authoritative Latin text while commentaries on each letter offer copiously referenced insights on their structure style and meaning. Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius offers a thorough companion to these letters and to the eruption which will be of interest not only to those working on Vesuvius Pompeii and Herculaneum and the works of Pliny but also to general readers Latin students and scholars of the Roman world more broadly.

Inside the Black Box of 'White Backlash' Letters of Support to Enoch Powell (1968-1969)

Inside the Black Box of 'White Backlash' Letters of Support to Enoch Powell (1968-1969)

Inside the Black Box of ‘White Backlash’ researches the contents of the letters of support sent to British politician Enoch Powell in the wake of his so-called ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech of April 20 1968. Never has a politician received so much written support in so short a time. This book takes a thematic approach to investigate the way British whites used Powell’s speech to vent their frustrations anger hostility against (non-white) immigrants and the evolution of British society in the late 1960s. Each chapter unpacks one facet of a 10 000-letter sample out of the approximately 100 000 letters Powell received: Race State War Empire America Class Gender Elites Parties ‘Against’ - with this last chapter analysing letters of protest against Powell. This extraordinary archival material provides an altogether unique window into British society in the late 1960s and reads like a (white) anthropology of nativist Britons in times of swift change. The book will be of interest to both students and academics of race immigration and ethnicity as well as by the general public.
