Material Memories: Design and Evocation
ISBN: 9781859732526 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines the way that objects 'speak' to us through the memories that we associate with them. Instead of viewing the meaning of particular designs as fixed and given, by looking at the process of evocation it finds an open and continuing dialogue between things, their makers and their consumers. This is not, however, to diminish the role of design in shaping human consciousness. The contributors do not view objects as blank carriers onto which humans project prior psychic dramas, but rather, place crucial importance on the precise materials from which they are made, their social,...

The Finance Sector and Climate Change: Constraining Credit for Coal
ISBN: 9781036415938 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A common claim is that fossil fuel interests thwart sound policy on climate change, but this book shows any funding of contrarian groups is outdone by the financial sector, supporting the conduct of science, the operation of environment groups, alarmist media reporting and the conduct of politics to serve the activities in which they have invested–initially natural gas but latterly renewables. This support is often channelled through 'pass through' funds in what has been described as 'philanthrocapitalism'. One example is Covering Climate Now, a cartel of news media outlets, ensuring a...

Paediatric Endocrinology in Clinical Practice: Proceedings of the Royal College of Physicians' Paediatric Endocrinology Conference Held in London 20-2
ISBN: 9789401089746 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is made up of 16 papers delivered during the Paediatric Conference convened by the Royal College of Physicians of London on 20th and 21st October 1983. The main intention of the conference was to allow each contributor to deliver a personal review of his own field, indicating recent develop- ments and current practice. This volume, representing the proceedings of that meeting, is not intended as a comprehensive textbook of paedi- atric endocrinology but rather as a series of personal narratives. I wish to express my thanks to the Chairmen, who so ably stimulated discussion, and to...

Transforming Power
ISBN: 9780521471220 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is an exploration and analysis of the electricity industry in the context of uncertainty following the energy crisis of the 1970s and concern over the greenhouse effect. Electricity has long been regarded as a natural monopoly, but questions of privatization, regulation and government control are increasingly prevalent. The book explores these issues through case studies from Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Aynsley Kellow argues for new approaches to electricity planning, which offer both economic and environmental benefits.

The Banham Lectures: Essays on Designing the Future
ISBN: 9781847883025 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume presents a series of essays by leading critics on art, design, architecture and culture. All are inspired by the revolutionary work of Reyner Banham, who continues to be one of the greatest influences on Design and Architecture today. Integrating the study of pop art, industrial design and material culture for the first time, Banham's brilliant analyses of subjects--such as automobile styling, mobile homes, science fiction films, and our fondness for gadgets--anticipated many of our contemporary preoccupations. And just as Banham sought to overturn the views of previous... This volume presents a series of essays by leading critics on art, design, architecture and culture.

Published in 1879, this work is a first-hand account by a female traveller in nineteenth-century India.

Mining Industry Association at Multiple Levels of Governance: Drilling Down
ISBN: 9781527576919 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many books on interest groups study how they conduct themselves in politics, and rather take for granted their existence. Unusually, this book examines the reasons why, for many years, there was no global level group representing the mining and non-ferrous metals industry and how the sector found a basis for association at the turn of the millennium, in response to the globalisation of environmental policy and the emerging focus on sustainable development. The associated reconfiguration of competences at the national and state levels in Australia is also shown to have had important...

Handbook of Business and Public Policy
ISBN: 9781788979115 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This comprehensive Handbook provides an analysis of the key issues, accomplishments, and challenges of research and practices related to the interactions between business and public policy. International expert contributors explore how the organizational structures of government and business have changed as the world has become more globalized, and as researchers have accumulated insights into why and how public policy is influenced by, and in turn influences, business. Examining how businesses themselves have increasingly contributed to the making and implementation of policy,...

Negotiating Climate Change: A Forensic Analysis
ISBN: 9781786438201 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change marked a reset of global climate policy, but was jeopardised by the partisan nature of the debates. In this unique overview, Aynsley Kellow suggests that global policy on climate change should have started with the Paris Agreement, and that almost a quarter of a century has been wasted following the wrong path. Looking critically at the interplay between interests, science, and global norms, Negotiating Climate Change shows how the initial selection of the wrong `metapolicy' hindered the development of global climate policy. Examining key debates,...

Middle Powers and International Organisations: Australia and the Oecd
ISBN: 9781788110631 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book provides a unique examination of how a middle power uses international organisations to achieve greater global influence. The authors focus on the OECD, 'the rich man's club' of most of the world's wealthiest nations. It demonstrates how the decision by Australia to apply for membership was a long drawn out process, delayed by political factors. Eventually agreement was reached with assurances that membership would provide access to valuable and timely policy-related information, especially in relation to international trade and finance. In addition, membership would potentially...

International Environmental Policy: Interests and the Failure of the Kyoto Process
ISBN: 9781840648188 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Kyoto protocol has singularly failed to shape international environmental policy-making in the way that the earlier Montreal protocol had done. Whereas Montreal placed reliance on the force of science and moralistic injunctions to save the planet, and successfully determined the international response to climate change, Kyoto has provided significantly more problematic. International Environmental Policy considers why this is the case.
