Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

With 29 percent of all trips made by bicycle Copenhagen is considered a model of green transport. This book considers the underlying political conditions that enabled cycling to appeal to such a wide range of citizens in Copenhagen and asks how this can be replicated elsewhere. Despite Copenhagen’s global reputation its success has been a result of a long political struggle and is far from completely secure. Car use in Denmark is increasing including in Copenhagen's suburbs and new developments in Copenhagen include more parking for cars. There is a political tension in Copenhagen over the spaces for cycling the car and public transit. In considering examples of backlashes and conflicts over street space in Copenhagen this book argues that the kinds of debates happening in Copenhagen are very similar to the debates regularly occurring in cities throughout the world. This makes Copenhagen more not less comparable to many cities around the world including cities in the United States. This book will appeal to upper-level undergraduates and graduates in urban geography city planning transportation environmental studies as well as transportation advocates urban policy-makers and anyone concerned about climate change and looking to identify paths forward in their own cities and localities. | Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

By the middle of 1918 the British Army had successfully mastered the concept of ’all arms’ warfare on the Western Front. This doctrine integrating infantry artillery armoured vehicles and - crucially - air power was to prove highly effective and formed the basis of major military operations for the next hundred years. Yet whilst much has been written on the utilisation of ground forces the air element still tends to be studied in isolation from the army as a whole. In order to move beyond the usual 'aircraft and aces' approach this book explores the conceptual origins of the control of the air and the role of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) within the British army. In so doing it addresses four key themes. First it explores and defines the most fundamental air power concept - the control of the air - by examining its conceptual origins before and during the First World War. Second it moves beyond the popular history of air power during the First World War to reveal the complexity of the topic. Third it reintegrates the study of air power during the First World War specifically that of the RFC into the strategic operational organisational and intellectual contexts of the era as well as embedding the study within the respective scholarly literatures of these contexts. Fourth the book reinvigorates an entrenched historiography by challenging the usually critical interpretation of the RFC’s approach to the control of the air providing new perspectives on air power during the First World War. This includes an exploration of the creation of the RAF and its impact on the development of air power concepts. | The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

This book examines new tenements—dense medium-rise multi-storey residences that have been the backbone of European inner-city regeneration since the 1970s and came with a new positive view on urban living. Focusing principally on Berlin Copenhagen Glasgow Rotterdam and Vienna it relates architectural design to an evolving intellectual framework that mixed anti-modernist criticism with nostalgic images and strategic goals and absorbed ideas about the city as a generator of creativity locale of democratic debate and object of personal identification. This book analyses new tenements in the context of the post-functionalist city and its mixed-use neighbourhoods redeveloped industrial sites and regenerated waterfronts. It demonstrates that these buildings are both generators and outcome of an urban environment characterised by information exchange rather than industrial production individual expression rather than mass culture visible history rather than comprehensive renewal and conspicuous difference rather than egalitarianism. It also shows that new tenements evolved under a welfare state that all over Europe has come under pressure but still to a certain degree balances and controls heterogeneity and economic disparities. | The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

Samuel Pepys Naval Minutes

Samuel Pepys Naval Minutes

Over the years the NRS has published various volumes relating to Samuel Pepys including the catalogues of his letters. His Naval Minutes mainly cover the period from 1680-1696. As the Naval Minutes are a series of random notes made by Pepys in connection with his proposed History of the Royal Navy as well as notes and memoranda of his thoughts on naval affairs ranging from shipbuilding and navigation to manning and the hazards of going to sea as well as acerbic comments on the admiralty commissioners of 1679-1683 they provide invaluable information about the navy. The volume includes Pepys’s famous dictum that Englishmen love their bellies. It also shows Pepys’s relationship with the Duke of York and how much the Duke was still consulted over naval affairs even though he had resigned his post as Lord High Admiral in 1673 because of his Catholicism. | Samuel Pepys Naval Minutes

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha (c. 1605-?1681) is chiefly remembered for the impression that his theories about music made on the mathematicians natural philosophers and virtuosi of the Royal Society in the 1660s and 1670s and for inventing a system that he claimed would enable even those without practical experience of music to learn to compose in a short time by means of 'a few easy certain and perfect Rules'-his most famous composition pupil being Samuel Pepys in 1662. His great aim was to publish a treatise on music in its philosophical mathematical and practical aspects (which would have included a definitive summary of his rules of composition) entitled Syntagma music¦. Subscriptions for this book were invited in 1672-3 and it was due to be published by March 1675; but it never appeared and no final manuscript of it survives. Consequently knowledge about his work has hitherto remained extremely sketchy. Recent research however has brought to light a number of manuscripts which allow us at last to form a more complete view of Birchensha's ideas. Almost none of this material has been previously published. The new items include an autograph treatise of c. 1664 ('A Compendious Discourse of the Principles of the Practicall & Mathematicall Partes of Musick') which Birchensha presented to the natural philosopher Robert Boyle and which covers concisely much of the ground that he intended to cover in Syntagma music¦; a detailed synopsis for Syntagma music¦ which he prepared for a meeting of the Royal Society in February 1676; and an autograph notebook (now in Brussels) containing his six rules of composition with music examples presumably written for a pupil. Bringing all this material together in a single volume will allow scholars to see how Birchensha's rules and theories developed over a period of fifteen years and to gain at least a flavour of the lost Syntagma music¦. | John Birchensha: Writings on Music

Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy

Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy

The volume gathers together seventeen articles dedicated to the monetary history of medieval Italy most of them newly translated into English. The articles in the first section of the volume trace the development of monetisation in Italy from the Lombard period until the rise of the communes taking Rome Lazio Tuscany and several cities and regions in north-central Italy as case studies. The articles in the second section analyse different aspects of monetary production and circulation in Byzantine Italy while the third gathers together studies on various aspects of Carolingian coinage: the transition from the Lombard system and the problem of furnishing an adequate supply of silver; mints and royal administration; and the activity and inactivity of mints operating at the edges of the Regnum Italiae. All of the articles share the author’s characteristic concern with setting the evidence from written sources against the wealth of new data emerging from recent archaeological research. | Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy

Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

Rape Culture in the House of David: A Company of Men describes a biblical rape culture sustained and maintained by Yhwh and a host of men—from royal kings and princes to their relatives counselors generals and servants. This volume reveals that sexual violence in the house of David is not simply perpetrated by its most powerful men. Rather in the pursuit of power status authority and honor men form alliances and networks that support the use and abuse of women’s bodies and valorize sexualized violence against other men. The man who is most capable of sexual violence is Israel’s ideal king. Barbara Thiede deftly addresses the power and contemporary relevance of these narratives and argues that exposing and naming rape culture in biblical literature is essential—in social economic and political realms. This is a meaningful feminist intervention in the field of biblical studies and is of great benefit to graduate students and scholars of religion gender studies and masculinity studies. | Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

All physicists are familiar with Hooke's law of springs but few will know of his theory of combustion that his Micrographia was the first book on microscopy that his astronomical observations were some of the best seen at the time that he contributed to the knowledge of respiration insect flight and the properties of gases that his work on gravitation preceded that of Newton's that he invented the universal joint and that he was an architect of distinction and a surveyor for the City of London after the Great Fire. England's Leonardo is a biography of Hooke covering all aspects of his work from his early life on the Isle of Wight through his time at Oxford University where he became part of a group who would form the original Fellowship of the Royal Society. The author adopts a novel approach at this stage dividing the book by chapter according to the fields of research-Physiology Engineering Microscopy Astronomy Geology and Optics-in which Hooke applied himself. The book concludes with a chapter considering the legacy of Hooke and his impact on science. | England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

Public Policy Praxis A Case Approach for Understanding Policy and Analysis

Public Policy Praxis A Case Approach for Understanding Policy and Analysis

Public administration and policy analysis education have long emphasized tidiness stages and rationality but practitioners frequently must deal with a world where objectivity is buffeted by repressed by and sometimes defeated by value conflict. Politics and policy are messy and power explains much more about the policy process than does rationality. Public Policy Praxis now in a thoroughly revised fourth edition uniquely equips students to better grapple with ambiguity and complexity. By emphasizing mixed methodologies the reader is encouraged through the use of a wide variety of policy cases to develop a workable and practical model of applied policy analysis. Students are given the opportunity to try out these globally applicable analytical models and tools in varied case settings (e. g. county city federal international plus urban and rural) while facing wide-ranging topics (starving farmers and the red panda in Nepal e-cigarettes GMOs the gig economy and opioid abuse) that capture the diversity and reality of public policy analysis and the intergovernmental and complex nature of politics. The fourth edition expands upon its thorough exploration of specific tools of policy analysis such as stakeholder mapping content analysis group facilitation narrative analysis cost-benefit analysis futuring and survey analysis. Along with teaching how to the authors discuss the limitations the practical political problems and the ethical problems associated with different techniques and methodologies. Many new cases have been added along with clear instructions on how to do congressional research and a Google Trends analysis. An expanded online Teaching Appendix is included for adopters offering original cases answers to problems alternative approaches to case use teaching exercises student assignments pedagogical ideas and supplemental material directly tied to concepts covered in the text. With an easily accessible and conversational writing style Public Policy Praxis is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in public policy analysis community planning leadership social welfare policy educational policy family policy and special seminars. | Public Policy Praxis A Case Approach for Understanding Policy and Analysis

Splendidly Victorian Essays in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century British History in Honour of Walter L. Arnstein

This title was first published in 2001. The eminent historian of Victorian Britain Walter L. Arnstein has over the course of a career spanning more than 40 years arguably introduced more students to British history than any other American historian.

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

These documents were selected by Rear-Admiral Thursfield for the light they throw on life afloat in the Navy of the Napoleonic era rather than for their contribution to the history of the operations in which their authors took part. They comprise four ‘Journals’ based mainly on dairies kept at the time and written up at a later date for enjoyment by the author’s friends and family. The fifth document is not a journal at all but the Order Book of a frigate captain. In addition eleven letters are included written by men from the lower deck. Each journal is headed by an Introduction which puts it in its historical context. The journal of the Rev Edward Mangin is a lively record of life aboard a 74-gun battleship in 1812 written by a clergyman who was deeply shocked by the events and deaths he witnessed. Four of the paintings he made on the Gloucester are reproduced. Peter Cullen’s journal covers the period 1789-1802 starting from the time he joined the Navy as an assistant surgeon. He gives a long account of the mutiny at the Nore and was present at Nelson’s battle at Copenhagen. Robert Wilson was a pressed man an able seaman promoted to be signalman on the smart frigate Unité from 1805 to 1809. His journal is packed with details of the many varied duties she undertook in the Mediterranean in the post-Trafalgar period and how these affected her officers and crew. Charles Abbot was a midshipman on the Alceste when she carried Lord Amherst to China as ambassador in 1816 and sank off Borneo on her return voyage. | Five Naval Journals 1789-1817
