Tenant participation has grown substantially over the last decade, following government legislation, advice from professional bodies and development agencies, and promotion by all major political parties.

This book explains why this is the case, and examines the growth of participation in the context of changes in the role of local authorities and their relationship with their electorates. These issues are examined in the first part of the...

ISBN: 9780415066563 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The relationships between humans and their natural surroundings is paradoxical.

Reconstructing Nature : Alienation, Emancipation and the Division of Labour
ISBN: 9780415089210 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the main features of the contemporary environmental crisis is that no one has a clear idea of what is going on. The author uses an extension of Marx's theory of alienation to explain why people find it so difficult to relate their different knowledges of the natural and social world.
He argues that nevertheless it is possible to relate these to the abstractions of ecological discourse. Emancipation can come only through embracing science and rationality rather than rejecting them and, in the process, humanity as well as the non-human world will benefit. One of the main features of the contemporary environmental crisis is that no one has a clear idea of what is going on. The author uses an extension of...

ISBN: 9780415775731 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Across the disciplines, the study of space has undergone a profound and sustained transformation. Space, place, mapping, and geographical imaginations have become commonplace topics in a variety of analytical fields in part because globalization has accentuated the significance of location. While this transformation has led to a renaissance in human geography, it also has manifested itself in the humanities and other social sciences. The purpose of this book is not to announce that space is significant, which by now is well known, but to explore how space is analyzed by a variety of...

Coupling between the North Indian Ocean and Monsoons
ISBN: 9783639025606 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arabian Sea is a region of active air-sea interaction processes and plays a major role on driving monsoon system over the Indian subcontinent. Two important issues about the Arabian Sea have to be noted. (1) The annual evolution of the near-surface layer thermal structure undergoes a unique semiannual cycle and (2) the central Arabian Sea is a region of net heat gain across the air-sea interface over a year. It is thus of interest to determine how the heat is transported and ultimately removed from the region. To address this problem, a model based diagnostic study of the upper ocean thermal...
