Devastation in Japan: An Economic Analysis
ISBN: 9781468165609 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Japan is a mighty economy, brought into being by a determined and resilient people. Its geographical positioning, however, means that its security is far from guaranteed. Yet along with other Pacific-rim countries, it continues to attract migrants, swelling cities that are evermore prone to natural disaster. Dr Pascua looks at Japan first from a historical point of view: the rise to economic pre-eminence, the survival of nuclear attack, and then the continual march for progress, despite potential for disaster on the way. The tsunami of March 2011 is examined against the background of the...

ISBN: 9781904890744 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Healing Waters: Therapeutic Landscapes in Historic and Contemporary Ireland
ISBN: 9780754676522 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bringing together a range of different place-studies, including holy wells, spa towns, Turkish baths and sweat-houses, sea-bathing and the modern spa, this book investigates associations between water, health, place and culture in Ireland. It is informed by a humanistic approach, showing how health and place are socially and culturally constructed and how health is embodied, experienced and enacted in place. In addition, the work argues that an understanding of health and place must also consider the historical, societal and cultural orthodoxies that shape and produce those places.
