Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Migrant Labour in Europe (1987) examines the movement of workers from less prosperous parts of Europe to areas with demand for their services. The author identifies seven major systems of migrant labour: the North Sea System (mainly Westphalian workers heading for the German and Dutch North Sea Coast and Walloon/French workers bound for the Belgian and Zeeland coasts); the area between London and the Humber; the Paris Basin; Provence Languedoc and Catalonia; Castile; Piedmont; and central Italy with Corsica. A detailed study of the first of these systems tracing its development and changes is brought into a synchronic relation with data for the other regions. The evidence shows major waves of immigration in the seventeenth century and a rapid diminution of migratory labour to the North Sea in the last quarter of the nineteenth century a time when new ‘pull areas’ were created by the expanding industrial complexes of Germany and labour began to come in from areas outside Europe. | Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

The Reception Of Unconventional Science

The issue of perhaps greatest concern to historians of science today is the internalist-externalist dichotomy. This volume directly addresses that issue at the same time providing a context for the serious study of heterodox science and scientific theories. The book consists of four studies each of which considers the response of a scientific community to an unconventional theory or claim: the acausal physics of Heisenberg; Wegener's geological theory of continental drift; acupuncture; and the statistical argument for extrasensory perception. As they reveal a wide range of reactions to orthodoxy the studies themselves exemplify the range of approaches the historian may use in examining scientific unconventionality. | The Reception Of Unconventional Science

Paupers The Making of the New Claiming Class

Originally published in 1973 Paupers looks at poverty through the lens of class and the Welfare State. The book examines those living in poverty and the direct effects poverty has. The book follows the basis that the economic factors which gave rise to poverty have little to do with the Welfare State and that fragmentary changes can do little to change them. The book’s core argument examines the political and social significance of poverty and look at the underlying causes and effects of the drift towards a more unequal and unjust society. The book also analyses the factors which bring economically disadvantaged people together and what happens when they join for collective action. | Paupers The Making of the New Claiming Class

Soy Globalization and Environmental Politics in South America

Soy in South America constitutes one of the most spectacular booms of agro-industrial commodity production in the world. It is the pinnacle of modernist agro-industrial practices serving as a key nexus in food–feed–fuel production that underpins the agribusiness–conservationist discourse of land sparing through intensification. Yet soy production is implicated in multiple problems beyond deforestation ranging from pesticide drift and contamination to social exclusion and conflicts in frontier zones to concentration of wealth and income among the largest landowners and corporations. This book explores in depth the complex dynamics of soy production from its diverse social settings to its transnational connections examining the politics of commodity and knowledge production the role of the state and the reach of corporate power in everyday life across soy landscapes in South America. Ultimately the collection encourages us to search and struggle for agroecological alternatives through which we may overcome the pitfalls of this massive transnational capitalist agro-industry. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Peasant Studies. | Soy Globalization and Environmental Politics in South America

Prevention and Early Intervention with Children in Need

First published in 1999 this volume examines how in the middle of the nineteenth century Dr John Snow is reputed to have wrenched the handle from a street pump in central London forcing people in the neighbourhood to change their drinking habits and so preventing them from contracting cholera from the dirty water. Aspects of the story may be apocryphal but the general drift of Snow's assault on disease has enormous appeal for health education social services and police professionals working with children in need. Why spend so much time struggling to find strategies to cope with the more intractable problems among adolescents when the problems might be prevented from occurring in the first place? This book tries to untangle some of the complex ideas that underpin effective prevention and early intervention activity on behalf of children experiencing social or psychological difficulty. It describes twenty programmes from Europe and America that have made an impact and where there has been an attempt to evaluate their usefulness. On this basis it suggests some principles for more effective preventive practice. | Prevention and Early Intervention with Children in Need

Genetics and Randomness

Analyzes Randomness in Major Genetic Processes and Events No matter how far science advances the proportion of what is knowable to what is random will remain unchanged and attempts to ignore this critical threshold are futile at best. With the revolutionary explosion in genetic information discovery it is crucially important to recognize the underlying limitations of scientific prediction in genetics. Genetics and Randomness furthers the understanding of the role randomness plays in critical biological processes. The book also navigates the complex nature of genetic uncertainty from different points of view and at various levels of biological organization. Avoids Unnecessary Technical Details and Specific Terminology Exploring areas ranging from basic quantum mechanics and molecular genetics to modern evolutionary genetics and the philosophy of mathematics this well-organized text discusses: Spontaneity of mutations and their relation to subatomic randomness Deep links between subatomic fluctuations and long-term macroscopic changes in living organisms The multitude of random events that occur during development Segregation genetic drift and natural selection Randomness and uncertainty are not occasional and regretful deviations from the true principles upon which life is built. Genetics and Randomness illustrates the ubiquitous nature of randomness as an integral feature of all essential processes effectively embracing a probabilistic understanding of the phenomena of life.

Revival: Between the Wars (1948)

In Between The Wars Mr Somervell examines those twenty-one years of uneasy peace which elapsed between the First and Second World Wars and analyses the gradual deterioration in international relations which marked the period. The victorious all-powerful Allies of 1919 by founding the League of Nations with its prospects of open diplomacy and its machinery for negotiation hoped to set up new standards of behaviour between sovereign states and eliminated war as a method of settling disputes. How were these good intentions thwarted? Why did a second catastrophe engulf Europe in 1939? Mr Somervell ranges widely over world events of the inter-war years in his search for answers to these questions. He shows how in most countries democracy that form of Government which the creators of the Versailles Treaty fervently hoped to secure in the world seldom imposed a rational will on its statesmen; on the contrary public opinion inclined to the extremes of apathy and hysteria. He also demonstrates how the discoverers of misapplied science offered tempting new weapons to fanatical dictators avid for world power. We have just lived through the war that resulted from that epoch of muddle and drift; now is the moment for us to examine it critically as a chapter of history. Mr Somervill offers us valuable help in his detached and lucid survey. | Revival: Between the Wars (1948)

Human Adaptation

This book examines the concept of adaptation in four major fields in the human sciences. Genetic aspects are first considered through an examination of the human genes which have so far been identified as conferring survival value in particular environmental circumstances. The drift versus selection argument is also fully reviewed. The second contribution concerns the physiological changes which occur when individuals move from one environment to another. In the past most attention has been given to the mechanisms of these changes but here the focus is on the effects. The third contribution is directed at the analysis of behaviour - especially social behaviour. The application of kin selection and reciprocal attraction theories to humans is explored and the value of these approaches explained whether the behaviour has a genetic basis or not. The final essay deals with the relevance of the adaptation concept to the social sciences and especially to social anthropology. It demonstrates that an ecological approach to understanding the nature and structure of human societies demands attention to adaptation. Reprinted in paperback for the first time and with a new foreword this book which serves as an excellent teaching text clearly shows how attempts at integration in each of these various fields can benefit the study of human evolution social structure and organization from all perspectives. | Human Adaptation

Voices of Determination Children That Defy the Odds

Voices of Determination tells the stories of ten children who overcame extraordinarily difficult circumstances to get an education and end the cycle of generational poverty. It debunks the myth that children are victims of circumstance. In this moving work Kevin P. Chavous argues that children can and will succeed if the educational system provides them with the opportunity to learn. Many of these narratives depict public schools at their worst. Chavous argues that poor communities routinely hire inexperienced teachers lack resources and pass kids along until they drop out. Once out of school these youngsters quickly find out that they are unprepared for the job market. This he claims leads many young people to drift into anti-social behavior and turn to gangs drugs and unproductive lifestyles. In addition the narratives in this volume also address such social issues as immigration bad neighborhoods poor health care addiction and child abuse. Chavous highlights how hope for a better future enabled the children whose stories make up this volume to achieve a better life. There are potential challenges at every stage of a child's development and the adults around them need to be nearby and ready to act effectively. Chavous concludes that the need to strengthen families and to rebuild surrounding communities should be the top priorities for society as a whole. | Voices of Determination Children That Defy the Odds

Marine Biofouling Colonization Processes and Defenses

Recent instances of bioinvasion such as the emergence of the zebra mussel in the American Great Lakes generated a demand among marine biologists and ecologists for groundbreaking new references that detail how organisms colonize hard substrates and how to prevent damaging biomass concentrations. Marine Biofouling: Colonization Processes and Defenses is the English language version of a comprehensive work by eminent Russian scientist Alexander I. Railkin who details the causes of vast biomass concentrations on submerged hard substrates. He also delivers a quantitative description of colonization processes and provides detailed models for preventing biofouling. This volume expounds on many topics rarely discussed in the frame of one book: types of hard substrate communities; comparison of hard and soft substrate communities; harm caused by micro- and macrofoulers; larval taxes and drift; mechanisms of settlement and attachment of microorganisms invertebrates ascidians and macroalgae; the impact of currents; protection from epibionts; industrial biofouling protection; successions on hard substrates; and the recovery of disturbed communities or the self-assembly of communities. The text includes much Russian-language research translated for the first time. Through a thorough examination of substrate organisms and an exploration of preventive methods this monograph prepares those concerned with marine biology to help protect the self-purifying organisms that keep marine ecosystems healthy and productive. | Marine Biofouling Colonization Processes and Defenses

Conservative Christian Politics in Russia and the United States Dreaming of Christian nations

This book explores the politics of conservative Christian churches and social movements in Russia and the United States focusing on their similar concerns but very different modes of political engagement. Whilst secularisation continues to chip away at religious adherence and practice in Europe religion is often quite rightly seen as an influential force in the politics of the United States and more questionably as a significant influence in contemporary Russia. This book looks at the broad social movement making up the US Christian Right and the profoundly hierarchical leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church as socially conservative actors and some of the ways they have engaged in contemporary politics. Both are seeking to halt the perceived drift towards a more secular political order; both face significant challenges in handling the consequences of secularism pluralism and liberal individualism; and both believe that their nations can only be great if they remain true to their religious heritage. In exploring their experience the book focuses on shared and different elements in their diagnosis of what is wrong with their societies and how this affects their policy intervention over issues such as religious and ethnic belonging sexual orientation and education. Drawing on political sociological and religious studies this work will be a useful reference for students and scholars of religion and politics Russian politics and American politics. | Conservative Christian Politics in Russia and the United States Dreaming of Christian nations

Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast-growing sector with the ability to evoke a revolution in manufacturing due to its almost unlimited design freedom and its capability to produce personalised parts locally and with efficient material use. AM companies however still face technological challenges such as limited precision due to shrinkage built-in stresses and limited process stability and robustness. Moreover often post-processing is needed due to high roughness and remaining porosity. Qualified trained personnel are also in short supply. In recent years there have been dramatic improvements in AM design methods process control post-processing material properties and material range. However if AM is going to gain a significant market share it must be developed into a true precision manufacturing method. The production of precision parts relies on three principles: Production is robust (i. e. all sensitive parameters can be controlled). Production is predictable (for example the shrinkage that occurs is acceptable because it can be predicted and compensated in the design). Parts are measurable (as without metrology accuracy repeatability and quality assurance cannot be known). AM of metals is inherently a high-energy process with many sensitive and inter-related process parameters making it susceptible to thermal distortions defects and process drift. The complete modelling of these processes is beyond current computational power and novel methods are needed to practicably predict performance and inform design. In addition metal AM produces highly textured surfaces and complex surface features that stretch the limits of contemporary metrology. With so many factors to consider there is a significant shortage of background material on how to inject precision into AM processes. Shortage in such material is an important barrier for a wider uptake of advanced manufacturing technologies and a comprehensive book is thus needed. This book aims to inform the reader how to improve the precision of metal AM processes by tackling the three principles of robustness predictability and metrology and by developing computer-aided engineering methods that empower rather than limit AM design. Richard Leach is a professor in metrology at the University of Nottingham and heads up the Manufacturing Metrology Team. Prior to this position he was at the National Physical Laboratory from 1990 to 2014.
