Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

This book clarifies and verifies the role sport has as an alternative marker in understanding and mapping memory in Japan by applying the concept of lieux de mémoire (realms of memory) to sport in Japan. Japanese history and national construction have not been short of sports landmarks since the end of the nineteenth century. Western-style sports were introduced into Japan in order to modernize the country and develop a culture of consciousness about bodies resembling that of the Western world. Japan’s modernization has been a process of embracing Western thought and culture while at the same time attempting to establish what distinguishes Japan from the West. In this context sports functioned as sites of contested identities and memories. The Olympics baseball and soccer have produced memories in Japan but so too have martial arts which by their very name signify an attempt to create traditions beyond Western sports. Because modern sports form bodies of modern citizens and at the same time offer countless opportunities for competition with other nations they provide an excellent ground for testing and contesting national identifications. By revealing some of the key realms of memory in the Japanese field of sports this book shows how memories and counter-memories of (sport) moments places and heroes constitute an inventory for identity. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society. | Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

The Garbage Collection Handbook The Art of Automatic Memory Management

The Garbage Collection Handbook The Art of Automatic Memory Management

Published in 1996 Richard Jones's Garbage Collection was a milestone in the area of automatic memory management. Its widely acclaimed successor The Garbage Collection Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management captured the state of the field in 2012. Modern technology developments have made memory management more challenging interesting and important than ever. This second edition updates the handbook bringing together a wealth of knowledge gathered by automatic memory management researchers and developers over the past sixty years. The authors compare the most important approaches and state-of-the-art techniques in a single accessible framework. The book addresses new challenges to garbage collection made by recent advances in hardware and software. It explores the consequences of these changes for designers and implementers of high performance garbage collectors. Along with simple and traditional algorithms the book covers state-of-the-art parallel incremental concurrent and real-time garbage collection. Algorithms and concepts are often described with pseudocode and illustrations. Features of this edition Provides a complete up-to-date and authoritative sequel to the 1996 and 2012 books Offers thorough coverage of parallel concurrent and real-time garbage collection algorithms Discusses in detail modern high-performance commercial collectors Explains some of the trickier aspects of garbage collection including the interface to the run-time system Over 90 more pages including new chapters on persistence and energy-aware garbage collection Backed by a comprehensive online database of over 3 400 garbage collection-related publications The adoption of garbage collection by almost all modern programming languages makes a thorough understanding of this topic essential for any programmer. This authoritative handbook gives expert insight on how different collectors work as well as the various issues currently facing garbage collectors. Armed with this knowledge programmers can confidently select and configure the many choices of garbage collectors. http://gchandbook. org | The Garbage Collection Handbook The Art of Automatic Memory Management

The EIS Book Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements

The EIS Book Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements

Poor Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) practice leads to poorly planned projects and ultimately poor environmental protection. Written by recognized NEPA authority Charles H. Eccleston The EIS Book: Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements supplies focused direction on preparing an EIS highlighting best professional practices (BBP) and lessons learned from case law that provide valuable direction for preparing legally defensible documents. The book is not about preparing bigger or more complicated EISs—but better ones. Beginning with fundamental topics and advancing into successively more advanced subjects Eccleston describes EIS preparation as a comprehensive framework for planning future actions rather than merely a document preparation procedure. He supplies direction for preparing defensible analyses that facilitate well-planned projects and improved decision-making. Discusses EIS document requirements including the Council of Environmental Quality’s NEPA regulations and related guidelines EPA guidance and requirements presidential executive orders and case law Covers how to perform a legally sufficient cumulative impact assessment and how to evaluate greenhouse emissions and climate change Details a step-by-step approach for navigating the entire EIS process that includes all pertinent process requirements from issuing the notice of intent through public scoping to issuing the final record of decision (ROD) Includes analytical requirements for preparing the EIS analysis and guidance for performing various types of analyses Provides tools techniques and best professional practices for preparing the EIS and performing the analysis Presents a case study that reinforces key EIS regulatory requirements and integrates lessons learned from this case study with appropriate regulatory requirements The book gives readers a firm grasp of the process for preparing an EIS including all key regulatory requirements that a legally sufficient EIS document must satisfy. No other book synthesizes all such requirements and guidance into a single source for easy and rapid access. | The EIS Book Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements
