 CABI Publishing Microbe-assisted Remediation of Heavy Metals in Wastewater Uus! GTIN: 9781836993957 Raamatud Heavy metal pollution is a major concern for all ecosystems where wastewater is present and it has the potential to harm the health of humans, animals and plants wherever it exists. Remediating the adverse effects of these pollutants is thus a significant global challenge that requires the use of the most up-to-date technologies. After describing the various toxic and negative effects posed to humans and ecosystems by heavy metals, this book explores advanced strategies for heavy metal detoxification through microbiological applications, such as bioreduction, bioaccumulation, immobilization and enzymatic remediation. It also considers the various microbes that can be used for the remediation of heavy metals and how advanced technologies like bioreactor technology, nanotechnology, genetic engineering and Artificial Intelligence can be applied for higher heavy metal removal rates. This book analyses the challenges and limitations of these sustainable microbe-based strategies for the removal of heavy metal pollutants from contaminated wastewater. It also provides a valuable resource for practitioners and professionals involved in human, animal and environmental health and those interested in the direction of future research.

Despite the increasing proliferation of project management frameworks and best practices, the failure rate of complex projects remains extraordinarily high. This book examines how organizations systematically undermine the projects they commission and why traditional approaches to project management are failing managers.The author argues that project managers need to challenge and overcome the normative assumptions that projects, and the organisations that parent them, are predictable and rational. By acknowledging that projects are in practice defined by power arrangements, complexity and inherent risk, the book equips readers to acknowledge and better navigate the hyper-bureaucracy they increasingly find themselves in. Each chapter ends with advice and lessons drawn from the authors decades of experience in the field.The Myths of Project Management challenges readers to let go of the seductive lie of control, and to become a better manager of complex projects. It will be of particular interest to senior project managers, program managers, and portfolio directors. Autorid: Bradley Rolfe | 1 | 54,29 € | Vaata | ||

 The University of Chicago Press Unearthed: Science and Environment Across Mineral Frontiers Uus! GTIN: 9780226847511 Raamatud "How nineteenth-century environmental sciences laid the groundwork for global mineral extraction. Unearthed depicts a pivotal moment during the nineteenth century: As European and settler schemes to govern ever larger territories intensified, the earth and atmospheric sciences were also becoming more global in scope, assembling models of the planet while making use of militarized or highly industrialized systems. These efforts were informed by the physique du monde, or global physics, of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), a program of vast data collection that spanned four hemispheres that aimed to determine general, scientific laws about the planet and its environments. Using Humboldt's itineraries as a frame, Unearthed traces an information order thatlinked far-flung industrial sites and frontier stations, from Prussian provinces to the Spanish and Russian empires. Humboldt intersected with Saxon miners, Mexican cartographers, and Siberian surveyors, among other itinerant Germans who mobilized the labor and resources of widespread mining operations for international surveys of earth and air. Interweaving the histories of capital and climate, Patrick Anthony takes readers from mines to mountains to show how the sciences of Humboldt's circuits both measured and made modern natures. These sciences of the mineral frontier, he argues, ultimately laid the groundwork for carbon-intensive economics and a logic of unending extraction.

 Indiana University Press What's in a Name: Stories Behind Arabic-Palestinian Place-Names in Israel Uus! GTIN: 9780253075185 Raamatud One spring day in the 1980s, my family and I woke up to the sight of bulldozers, accompanied by Israeli policemen, ascending the hill called Jabal Sikh in Kafr Kanna. At the time, I was a pupil in elementary school, and the hill could be seen clearly from the school. My teacher explained to the class that the Jewish National Fund workers were leveling the hill and planting pine and cypress trees that would provide shade for us in the play areas that would be erected between the trees. Years passed, playgrounds were not erected, and the hill was partly settled by immigrants from the former Soviet Union and given a biblical name: Mount Yonah. My friends and I continue to call the hill by the name we heard from the elders of Kafr Kanna.Examining the geographical names used by the Palestinian minority living in Israel, What's in a Name is a book about the Palestinian names of places: their pronunciation in local dialects, their narratives, stories, and history, the motifs and themes underlying their bestowal, and the cultural messages they communicate. Based on a rich repertoire of original fieldwork in Arabic, Amer Dahamshe analyzes the Arabic names of villages and towns as well as natural formations such as rivers, hills, and meadows in the Arab-Palestinian society in Israel. In doing so, Dahamshe charts the past and present of the cultural geography of Palestinian society as a "memory-scape" that reveals the true historical map of Israel/Palestine and brings to life its human habitation across the generations.A poetic study of the ideological and cultural construction of how names create meaning, What's in a Name shows how names can reflect multiculturalism and a tradition of tolerance in spite of ongoing processes of erasure.

 Oxford University Press Silius Italicus: Punica, Book 17: Edited with Introduction, Translation, and Commentary Uus! GTIN: 9780198865902 Raamatud This volume presents a new edition and translation into English of Book 17 of Silius Italicus' Punica. Angeliki-Nektaria Roumpou's introduction and line-by-line commentary sheds light on the poet's dialogue with the epic tradition and the unique methods employed to bring the poem's narrative to a resonant close. Book 17 of Silius Italicus' Punica serves as the powerful conclusion of the epic, detailing the final stages of the Second Punic War, culminating in the Battle of Zama, where Roman dominance is secured. The narrative intertwines divine intervention with human conflict. Silius narrates Carthage's submission to Rome and Rome's victory, bringing the Second Punic War to a close and solidifying the epic's significance within the literary tradition. At the same time, the narrative reflects concerns of Flavian Rome, offering a nuanced interpretation of the political and cultural issues of the poet's own era. Through elevated language, intricate metre, and vivid imagery, Silius amplifies the grandeur of the final battle, highlighting themes of divine influence, heroic struggle, and political power. By revisiting earlier narrative motifs, Book 17 masterfully unifies the epic's central themes, offering a resolution that is both conclusive and thought-provoking. This volume presents a new edition and translation into English of Book 17, along with an introduction and line-by-line commentary shedding light on the poet's dialogue with the epic tradition and the unique methods employed to bring the poem's narrative to a resonant close. Angeliki Nektaria Roumpou's General Introduction explores the poem's literary and historical context, offering an analysis and interpretation of the book's central themes. The commentary explores Silius' framing of the epic, and illuminates key historiographical, textual, linguistic, and literary issues embedded in the narrative, providing essential insights into Silius Italicus' artistry and the enduring legacy of his Punica.

 Oxford University Press Disability Publics: Making Accessibility in Modern Japan Uus! GTIN: 9780198979739 Raamatud Over the last 150 years, activists and policymakers in Japan have tried to improve access for disabled persons, but these attempts have frequently excluded as many impaired individuals as they have empowered. Why and how have stakeholders pursued these accessibility projects for different demographics in modern Japan? This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. It is free to read on Oxford Academic and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.Over the last 150 years, activists and policymakers have tried to improve access to Japan's built environment, education, employment, entertainment, and medical care systems for disabled persons, but these attempts have frequently excluded as many impaired individuals as they have empowered. Their technological and legislative interventions have not only structured the everyday lives of disabled individuals, but also women, children, old people, migrant laborers, wounded veterans, and members of other vulnerable groups, by both creating and removing obstacles to social participation.Why and how have stakeholders pursued these accessibility projects for different demographics in modern Japan? To unpack this question, this book investigates the history of Japan's "disability publics": coalitions of activists, government officials, and other interested parties who have advanced policy agendas for specific communities by responding to social, political, and economic circumstances. It demonstrates that pressures tied to macrosocial processes such as industrialization, urbanization, militarization, globalization, and population ageing have played a key role in defining Japan's disability publics. Equally influential have been international flows of information, products, and people working in the welfare sphere, which have inspired Japan's disability publics to implement domestic reforms. A final contributing factor arose from social crises and mega-events (such as the "triple disaster" at Fukushima, the global COVID-19 pandemic and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics) which have provided windows of opportunity for catalyzing policy changes.Disability Publics uses this history to intervene in current debates about inclusion and will guide future policymaking efforts by asking stakeholders to consider who has a seat at the table, how they come to be there, and what they fail to imagine when developing accessibility measures. In so doing, and by unravelling the politics of Japan's disability publics in this comprehensive way, the book outlines a path towards a more equitable society. Autorid: Mark R. Bookman, Carolyn S.

 Oxford University Press Inc Illusory Riches: The False Promise of Evolutionary Psychology Uus! GTIN: 9780197751213 Raamatud Popular science and media are awash in sweeping claims concerning how some characteristic human behavior, feeling, or psychological disposition exists because it aided our evolutionary ancestors in survival and reproduction. These claims often arise from a discipline known as Evolutionary Psychology. Evolutionary Psychology claims to investigate the evolutionary underpinnings of human nature, to explain why we have the thoughts, feelings, impulses that are characteristic of human experience. But when we compare these investigations with evolutionary research on other human traits, or on nonhumans, we see that Evolutionary Psychology is deeply out of touch with the basic theoretical and methodological precepts that form the basis of our knowledge of evolutionary history. By comparing research in Evolutionary Psychology with traditional forms of evolutionary research, we can appreciate the wide gap between what Evolutionary Psychology says about human nature, on the one hand, and what is traditionally required to support claims about evolutionary history, on the other.The study of evolution is not the study of the design and purpose of nature-it is the study of how populations change over time and it requires the sort of investigation for which human subjects are generally ill suited. As Chris Haufe shows, Evolutionary Psychology has constructed a parallel scientific universe - cut off from genuine scientific knowledge of the evolutionary process - which seeks to actively promote a predetermined stance on human evolutionary history regardless of whether that stance is logically consistent with current scientific fact. Illusory Riches demonstrates that our scientific knowledge of the human past and of the evolutionary process permits a far greater range of human potentialities than one might suspect from the claims of Evolutionary Psychology. Illusory Riches critically examines the discipline of Evolutionary Psychology. Autorid: Chris Haufe | 1 | 34,04 € | Vaata | ||

 Taylor & Francis Ltd Nature of Information: Shaping Reality, Life, and Consciousness Uus! GTIN: 9781041242253 Raamatud This book redefines our understanding of information as more than mere data or communicationit presents information as the fundamental fabric of reality itself. Drawing from disciplines as diverse as quantum physics, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and metaphysics, the book explores how information operates as a dynamic, organizing force that sculpts the cosmos, consciousness, and civilization. It delves into how biological evolution is driven by information processing, how neural complexity gives rise to consciousness, and how technological systems mirror the architecture of thought itself.The narrative connects classical theorieslike entropy and natural selectionto modern advances such as integrated information theory, quantum computation, and recursive artificial intelligence. By weaving scientific analysis with philosophical reflection, the book argues that information is not a passive medium but an active force, guiding evolution, shaping reality, and potentially constituting the fifth fundamental force of nature.This book will be invaluable to students, researchers, and general readers across disciplines such as information theory, physics, evolutionary biology, computer science, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and consciousness studies. It will also serve as an essential companion for thinkers, technologists, and educators seeking to understand the informational scaffolding behind nature, mind, and machines.

 McGill-Queen's University Press La migration forcée au Canada Uus! GTIN: 9780228025702 Raamatud Les migrations forcées ont façonné la création du Canada en tant qu'État colonisateur et de peuplement.

 Park Books Architecture by Peter Celsing Photographed by John Håkansson Uus! GTIN: 9783038604655 Raamatud Peter Celsing (192074) belongs to the small group of Swedish modernist architects, including luminaries such as Gunnar Asplund (18851940) and Sigurd Lewerentz (18851975), who have rightly attracted attention even beyond the country's borders. The way in which Celsing approached and carried out his commissions testifies to a great understanding of architecture as an applied art, where function and economy are important parameters. At the same time, Celsing instilled aesthetic values of rank in his works. In a time of a major shift in the construction industry from more small-scale and artisanal to large-scale and prefabricated, Celsing managed the feat of running his projects with a high level of artistic integrity. This is an important reason why his architecture is perhaps even more interesting today than when it was created. John Håkansson's black and white photographs, taken in the mid-1990s, capture the essence of Peter Celsings buildings. In many cases, the images are now a valuable document of that era, since some of the buildings have changed, and not always in a favourable way. In this beautiful volume, supplemented by insightful texts contributed by architect Staffan Henriksson and artist Maria Lantz, Håkansson's skillful photography forms a loving and sensitive portrait of Celsing's architecture.

 Gritstone Publishing Long Spring: Tracking the Arrival of Spring through Europe 2nd New edition Uus! GTIN: 9781913625207 Raamatud In February 2016 Laurence Rose crossed the Mediterranean from North Africa and set off on a series of journeys towards the Arctic coast of Norway, all the while keeping pace with the arrival of spring. Like a modern-day pilgrimage, he is accompanied by fellow wayfarers, migrating swallows and cranes and later, wild swans and eagles. From Spain, Laurence continued through France and Britain. Crossing over to Sweden, Finland and Norway, he ended his travels four months later as the long Arctic days stretched into continuous daylight. First published in 2018, this 2nd edition includes a rewritten final chapter, ten years on from his journeys and ten years after the Brexit referendum: 'Nothing connects the countries of Europe better than the wildlife they share and in particular the birds, marine life and insects that migrate freely across borders and boundaries', Laurence explains. 'The Long Spring was first published two years after the journeys it describes, in 2018. Perhaps one reason the book enjoyed good reviews was because by then Europe seemed united only by the nature it explores; perhaps there was an innocence in my crossing the continent alongside swallows and storks, cranes and dragonflies, that struck a subconscious chord. I am pleased to present this new edition, which includes a rewritten final chapter, Missed Connections, to better reflect the passage of a momentous decade in Europe' Autorid: Laurence Rose | 1 | 19,13 € | Vaata | ||

 She Writes Press Bianca's Cure: A Novel Uus! GTIN: 9798896360704 Raamatud For fans of Lessons in Chemistry, a based-in-fact novel imagining young Renaissance noblewoman Bianca Capellos experiences as she pursues a cure for malaria in the Medicis Florence.Florence, 1563. Forbidden from practicing her herbal cures in Venice, the young noblewoman Bianca Capello flees to Florence, where the ruling Medici family practices alchemy. There, she wins herself an invitation to their palace, and, as it turns out, a path to the duke regent Francescos bed. The impassioned bond between Francesco de Medici and Bianca is at the core of this fact-driven dive into medicine, politics, love, and ultimately death in Renaissance Florence. Malaria killed many of the Medicis, but traces of the poison arsenic were recently found in Francescos remains. Even more sinister: Biancas remains have never been found. To this day, what happened to Bianca and Francesco remains one of the greatest mysteries surrounding Renaissance Italys legendary Medicis. Biancas Cure probes what might have been as Biancas quest for a malaria curein palaces, gardens, sick rooms, and whorehousescollides with Francescos intensifying illness. Her main tool is the herb artemisiamedicine still used today. A woman who dared to practice science well ahead of her time, Bianca fights off self-doubt until she believes herself invincible. But is she? When only she stands between Francesco and death, her skill may save him or doom them both. Autorid: Gigi Berardi | 1 | 21,69 € | Vaata | ||
 Oxford University Press Inc Killing Americans: Insurgent Motivations, Risk Factors, and Implications Uus! GTIN: 9780197693780 Raamatud Why do some insurgent groups target American nationals? At first glance, it appears to be a risky strategy, inviting retaliation from the world's foremost military power. But a number of incentives make anti-American violence an attractive option for certain insurgent organizations.Killing Americans explores the risk factors involved in insurgent groups' decisions to plan and conduct attacks on Americans. If, for example, American culture is prevalent in a given country, this tends to lessen the likelihood of attacks. On the other hand, extremist ideology and the deployment of American military forces in the area encourages them. And the consequences for an insurgent group that carries out violence against American citizens can be beneficial: they can raise their profile among sympathizers and gain credibility with would-be recruits. Drawing on quantitative analysis and case studies from around the world, this book shows that insurgents tend to become more lethal and more likely to survive after having made their first attacks on Americans. By considering American involvement abroad, organizational traits of insurgent groups, and potential consequences of attacks, Killing Americans provides a comprehensive account of variation in insurgent anti-American violence. This book explores the risk factors that render an insurgent organization more likely to attack Americans. Using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, the authors identify several competing incentives, including the group's ideology, local US military presence, and potential consequences for the insurgent group. They find that insurgent groups can gain a credibility boost among sympathizers and recruits after attacking Americans, making them deadlier and more likely to survive.

 Georgetown University Press Spies, Culture, and Society: Coming in from the Cold Uus! GTIN: 9781647126636 Raamatud A revealing look at the interrelationship between secret intelligence agencies and the wider societies and cultures they inhabitIntelligence agencies pride themselves on transcending politics and delivering objective intelligence assessments that speak truth to power and are detached from the cultural or political biases that pervade our fallen world. They are commonly understood as cloistered entities, operating behind the veil of secrecy with relative freedom from societal scrutiny.Spies, Culture, and Society demonstrates that intelligence services are, in fact, fundamentally embedded within the wider sociocultural domain they inhabit. Intelligence services have come in from the cold, featuring routinely today in the media and in our popular culture and political debates. Many profoundly influential cultural narratives, from ideas of a "deep state" to the many modern mythologies of espionage at the movies, have been shaped, often unintentionally, by the activities of intelligence services. In turn, intelligence agencies and their employees are not immune to the outside influence of culture and ideas, despite their noble dream of objectivity and detachment. This volume brings together some of the world's leading experts on intelligence and its wider impact in chapters that explore different aspects of this reciprocal relationship between intelligence services and the outside world. The topics covered include the influence of spy films and novels, interactions between spies and journalists, the historical roots of the "deep state" conspiracy theory, Western intelligence services and imperialism, and more.This interdisciplinary collection reveals how both intelligence officers and citizens have constructed memories of intelligence services through various social prisms. Offering meaningful insights for intelligence studies scholars, Cold War historians, and media scholars, this collection offers a new paradigm for understanding intelligence agencies as fundamentally integrated into the cultures and societies they seek to protect.

GTIN: 9789916770009 Raamatud Õhtupäike väikestel majadel on üks etapp, üks tükk reisist vanadusse, aga imelikul kombel viib see reis läbi lapsepõlve, läbi selle aja, kui kõik oli alles ees. Sest kõik on endiselt alles ees. See ongi vananemise paradoks ja selle kõige kiivamalt varjatud saladus: ikka on kõik alles ees, ikka on kõik alles tundmatu, ikka on su elumõistatus alles lahendamata. Kas osa tema lahendusest ei peitugi nimelt lapsepõlves, päritolus, tolles ajas, kust oleme tulnud ja mida enam ilmselgelt olemas ei ole? Ümberringi on uus aeg, aga meie kõnnime tubades, mis kord olid, räägime inimestega, keda ilmsi enam kohata ei saa. Jääme ajast maha. Või jääb hoopis aeg meist maha? Võib-olla astume hoopis aasta-aastalt aina tundmatumale, aina vähem läbi uuritud, aina põnevamale maale, alles täiesti kaardistamata territooriumile. Ka see on võimalik.

 Taylor & Francis Ltd Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons: Pragmatics, Semantics, and Conceptual Roles Uus! GTIN: 9781032360775 Raamatud Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons presents a philosophical conception of logiclogical expressivismaccording to which the role of logic is to make explicit reason relations, which are often neither monotonic nor transitive. This conception of logic reveals new and enlightening perspectives on inferential roles, sequent calculi, representation, truthmakers, and many extant logical theories.The book shows how we can understand different metavocabularies as making explicit the same reason relations, namely normative-pragmatic, alethic-representational, logical, and implication-space metavocabularies. This includes a philosophical account of the pragmatic role of reason relations, treatments of nonmonotonic and nontransitive consequence relations in sequent calculi, a correspondence between these sequent calculi and variants of truthmaker theory, and the introduction of a novel kind of formal semantics that interprets sentences by assigning inferential roles to them. The book thus offers logical expressivists and semantic inferentialists new ways to understand logic, content, inferential roles, representation, and reason relations.This book will appeal to researchers and graduate students who are interested in the philosophy of logic, in reasons and reasoning, in theories of meaning and content, or in nonmonotonic and nontransitive logics. This book presents a philosophical conception of logic logical expressivism according to which the role of logic is to make explicit reason relations, which are often neither monotonic nor transitive.
