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 Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of social space and symbolic power and from Loïc Wacquant’s hypothesis of advanced marginality and territorial stigmatisation the book explores the genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place the North West provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through detailed empirical analysis the book spotlights three angles and entanglements of the social history of this area of Copenhagen: the production of socio-spatial constructions and authoritative categorisations of the neighbourhood especially by the state and the media; the local social pedagogical interventions and symbolic boundary drawings by welfare agencies in the neighbourhood; and the residents’ subjective experiences of place social divisions and (dis)honour. In this way The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis analyses how social symbolical and spatial structures dynamically intertwine and contribute to the fashioning of divisions of inequality and marginality in the city over the course of some 125 years. It will appeal to scholars of sociology urban studies and urban history with interests in social welfare. | The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere: Distribution Formation Migration and Management Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance

Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere: Distribution Formation Migration and Management Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance

Volume 2 of the book ‘Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere’ is sub-titled Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance of Sand Dunes in the Northern Hemisphere. It brings together a vast body of information and insight into sand dune and desert systems from North Asia Central Asia North Africa and the Middle East. Chapters from the Russian Federation include studies on dune systems within the permafrost zone and there is a case study from temperate zone dune system in coastal Japan. Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance of Sand Dunes in the Northern Hemisphere of 16 chapters in three Parts focusses on Saharan Africa Egypt and Middle East and gives attention to sand mobility and encroachment with case studies from a number of countries where these matters are of concern. We also include chapters on the remote dunes in the permafrost zone and in the hyper-arid deserts of Iran. Case studies are used to highlight the characteristics of dunes and their interaction with humans in several widely divergent settings. Volume 2 concludes with some musing on the value of study of the past as key to the future and speculates on what the future might hold in the light of a warmer and drier Earth and a rise in sea level that threaten large tracts of low-lying land with marine incursions and destruction from storm surge. PART 4 Sand Mobility and Encroachment The seven chapters in this Part examine the real-world impact of sand encroachment and dune migration on people and their economic activities and the health welfare and financial implications related to destruction of infrastructure including human habitations. PART 5 Sand Dune Landscapes Distribution Formation and Management Seven Case studies from several geographic regions in Africa the Middle East north-east Asia are presented here to demonstrate the underlying mechanisms in dune formation and the diverse approaches to their management. Human impacts such as sand mining tourism development combine with natural forces like climate variability to challenge the realization of an optimum management strategy. PART 6 Concluding Thoughts: Coping with an Unknown Future from a Little-known Past The two chapters in Part 6 have special roles. We are privileged to publish new research findings that are summarized here in Chapter 38 from extensive and detailed work conducted in the Kyzyl Kum and Karakum sand seas of Central Asia. There is a strong belief that further study of the little-known past such as revealed in this study could unlock clues as to what a future Earth might look like. This leads on to speculation in Chapter 39 about the implications of what we already know about global change (not only climate change) and the impact of the Anthropocene on the dune systems both inland and coastal. Sea level rise marine incursions and an increase in extreme weather events will affect dune systems and sand seas on the Northern Hemisphere (and beyond). | Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere: Distribution Formation Migration and Management Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance

Modelling and Analysis of Fine Sediment Transport in Wave-Current Bottom Boundary Layer

Modelling and Analysis of Fine Sediment Transport in Wave-Current Bottom Boundary Layer

The evolution and utilization of estuarine and coastal regions are greatly restricted by sediment problems. This thesis aims to better understand fine sediment transport under combined action of waves and currents especially in the wave-current bottom boundary layer (BBL). Field observations experimental data analysis theoretical analysis and numerical models are employed. Silt-dominated sediments are sensitive to flow dynamics and the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) increase rapidly under strong flow dynamics. This research unveils several fundamental aspects of silty sediment i. e. the criterion of the incipient motion the SSC profiles and their phase-averaged parameterization in wave-dominated conditions. An expression for sediment incipient motion is proposed for silt-sand sediment under combined wave and current conditions. A process based intra-wave 1DV model for flow-sediment dynamics near the bed is developed in combined wave-current conditions. The high concentration layer (HCL) was simulated and sensitivity analysis was carried out by the 1DV model on factors that impact the SSC in the HCL. Finally based on the 1DV model the formulations of the mean SSC profile of silt-sand sediments in wave conditions were proposed. The developed approaches are expected to be applied in engineering practice and further simulation. | Modelling and Analysis of Fine Sediment Transport in Wave-Current Bottom Boundary Layer

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971 to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes narratives and compositions related to history ideology and archaeology on the one hand and text and canon on the other as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. | Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

This book explores the effectiveness of governance networks on the design and implementation of sustainability strategies. European cities are actively developing sustainability strategies to address the impact of climate change. One recent approach many cities have taken is the creation of ‘governance networks’: groups of public private and third sector organisations which collaborate to support urban sustainability efforts. Drawing on two case studies in Glasgow and Copenhagen this book explores the concept of governance networks in theory and practice revealing how stakeholder collaboration leadership and innovation within these networks can help or hinder the process. It also highlights the many benefits of these networks including increased participation in the decision-making process increased levels of resources and expertise on sustainability issues as well as stakeholder buy-in for sustainability policies. This book provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of governance networks and will be of interest to academics and practitioners working in the areas of urban governance and sustainability. | Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

This book examines the art of Cobra a network of poets and artists from Copenhagen Brussels and Amsterdam (1948–1951). Although the name stood for the organizers’ home cities the Cobra artists hailed from countries in Europe Africa and the United States. This book investigates how a group of struggling young artists attempted to reinvent the international avant-garde after the devastation of the Second World War to create artistic experiments capable of facing the challenges of postwar society. It explores how Cobra’s experimental often collective art works and publications relate to broader debates in Europe about the use of images to commemorate violent events the possibility of free expression in an art world constrained by Cold War politics the breakdown of primitivism in an era of colonial independence movements and the importance of spontaneity in a society increasingly dominated by the mass media. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history 20th-century modern art avant-garde arts and European history. | The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

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

Numerical Simulation in Hydraulic Fracturing: Multiphysics Theory and Applications

Numerical Simulation in Hydraulic Fracturing: Multiphysics Theory and Applications

The expansion of unconventional petroleum resources in the recent decade and the rapid development of computational technology have provided the opportunity to develop and apply 3D numerical modeling technology to simulate the hydraulic fracturing of shale and tight sand formations. This book presents 3D numerical modeling technologies for hydraulic fracturing developed in recent years and introduces solutions to various 3D geomechanical problems related to hydraulic fracturing. In the solution processes of the case studies included in the book fully coupled multi-physics modeling has been adopted along with innovative computational techniques such as submodeling. In practice hydraulic fracturing is an essential project component in shale gas/oil development and tight sand oil and provides an essential measure in the process of drilling cuttings reinjection (CRI). It is also an essential measure for widened mud weight window (MWW) when drilling through naturally fractured formations; the process of hydraulic plugging is a typical application of hydraulic fracturing. 3D modeling and numerical analysis of hydraulic fracturing is essential for the successful development of tight oil/gas formations: it provides accurate solutions for optimized stage intervals in a multistage fracking job. It also provides optimized well-spacing for the design of zipper-frac wells. Numerical estimation of casing integrity under stimulation injection in the hydraulic fracturing process is one of major concerns in the successful development of unconventional resources. This topic is also investigated numerically in this book. Numerical solutions to several other typical geomechanics problems related to hydraulic fracturing such as fluid migration caused by fault reactivation and seismic activities are also presented. This book can be used as a reference textbook to petroleum geotechnical and geothermal engineers to senior undergraduate graduate and postgraduate students and to geologists hydrogeologists geophysicists and applied mathematicians working in this field. This book is also a synthetic compendium of both the fundamentals and some of the most advanced aspects of hydraulic fracturing technology. | Numerical Simulation in Hydraulic Fracturing: Multiphysics Theory and Applications

Breakthrough Moments in Arts-Based Psychotherapy A Personal Quest to Understand Moments of Transformation in Psychotherapy

Breakthrough Moments in Arts-Based Psychotherapy A Personal Quest to Understand Moments of Transformation in Psychotherapy

In psychotherapy clients sometimes experience breakthrough moments - profound moments in which their world and how they view themselves is changed for ever. But what exactly occurs during such moments? In Breakthrough Moments in Arts-Based Psychotherapy the author shares her very personal journey to discover what might be happening at these pivotal moments and demonstrates their importance for clients' change processes. Filled with examples from her own practice the book dips into the worlds of chaos and complexity theory neuroscience quantum physics and theories of change in order to show how the use of arts-media in psychotherapy - visual images and drawing drama and music sand-tray and enactment - can encourage the arrival of these dramatic breakthrough moments. The aim of this unique book is to shine a spotlight for the first time on a deeply profound aspect of arts-based psychotherapy in an accessible and engaging way. | Breakthrough Moments in Arts-Based Psychotherapy A Personal Quest to Understand Moments of Transformation in Psychotherapy

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition investigates the complexities of literary and social recognition with the aim of putting a fresh cross-disciplinary spin on reader identification and social acknowledgment. Engaging with contemporary Danish and Anglophone works on racialization disability and gender Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl argues in favor of a close relation between aesthetic appeals to recognition and the political dimensions of literary texts. Moreover she proposes a framework bent on experience and relations as opposed to identity and status for articulating new fruitful understandings of how literary texts call for aesthetic and social recognition. Based on this she argues that literary texts can make readers get what social validation is about – and thereby help us redefine a key concept in the social sciences. Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl earned her PhD in literature and sociology from the University of Southern Denmark in 2020. Currently she works as a postdoctoral researcher within narrative medicine and literature-based social interventions at the University of Southern Denmark in collaboration with the National Institute of Public Health in Copenhagen.

Liberty and the News

Liberty and the News

This little gem of a book which first appeared in 1920 was written in Walter Lippmann's thirtieth year. He was still full of the passionate faith in democracy that was evident in his writings before the First World War. From today's point of view Lippmann's argument seems unusually prescient. He was troubled by distortions in newspaper journalism but was also deeply aware of the need to protect a free press. Lippmann believed that toleration of alternative beliefs was essential to maintaining the vitality of democracy. Liberty and the News is a key transitional work in the corpus of Lippmann's writings. For it is here that he proposes that public opinion is largely a response not to truths but rather to a pseudo-environment which exists between people and the external world. Lippmann was worried that if the beliefs that get exchanged between people are hollow and bear only a purely accidental relationship to the world as it truly is then the entire case for democracy is in danger of having been built on sand. His concerns remain very much alive and important.

Western Sahara International Law Justice and Natural Resources

Western Sahara International Law Justice and Natural Resources

As the Spanish were preparing to leave colonized Western Sahara in 1975 Morocco invaded sparking a war with the Western Saharan Polisario Front. About 70% of Western Sahara was occupied by Morocco which stations up to 140 000 soldiers in the territory primarily along a 1700 kilometre long sand berm that is protected by one of the world’s largest fields of landmines. In 1991 Morocco and the Polisario Front agreed to a truce ahead of a referendum on Western Sahara’s future. However Morocco has since refused to allow the referendum to take place and has begun the extensive exploitation of Western Sahara’s non-renewable natural resources. This has both highlighted the plight of the Saharawi people who live in refugee camps in Algeria and in occupied Western Sahara and pushed the Polisario Front back to a position where it is openly canvassing for a return to war. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Change Peace and Security. | Western Sahara International Law Justice and Natural Resources
