Reading the Reverse Façade of Reims Cathedral Royalty and Ritual in Thirteenth-Century France

Though long recognized as one of the most beautiful works from the second half of the thirteenth century the magnificent sculptural program of the reverse façade at Reims Cathedral has received little in the way of scholarly attention. Interpreting the iconography in the light of Latin texts associated with the building its history and its ceremonial use Donna Sadler assesses the significance of the reverse façade in light of other thirteenth-century visual programs associated with the court of Louis IX. The book's chapters deal with the history of the cathedral and its architectural antecedents; the iconographic message of the visual program the meaning of the reverse fa§ade and how it intersects with the overall iconography; the function of the verso and how it is enhanced by the marriage of form and content; and a consideration of contemporary works linked to the court of Saint Louis concluding with a brief look at the new roles sculpture assumes as it migrates inside cathedrals. Ultimately this book reveals how the imagery on the reverse façade not only conforms to a system of memory and mode of medieval narratology but also articulates a dominant ideological position regarding the interdependence of ecclesiastical and royal powers. | Reading the Reverse Façade of Reims Cathedral Royalty and Ritual in Thirteenth-Century France

The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

This book examines the current literature and knowledge on the evolution and ecology of all the birds named as eagles with particular emphasis on the larger species. It also examines the past and current relations between eagles and people including habitat change and conservation issues. Eagle ecologies and conservation are currently seriously impacted by human activities such as industrialization urbanization pollution deforestation and hunting. Some eagle species have consequently experienced extreme population changes. There are however some positive developments. Eagles have a strong historic bond with human civilization due to their status as the world’s most charismatic birds. Conservation policies have also been successful in repopulating some ecosystems with breeding eagles. Therefore despite the complexity of this relationship there may yet be hope for this unique species group frequently rated as the kings of birds and symbolic of human power ambition royalty nationality and even concepts of God. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the further understanding of these unique and fantastic birds. | The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

Innovation and Global Competitiveness Case of India's Manufacturing Sector

In the post-liberalization period India has slowly but steadily tried to foster innovation to improve competitive efficiency of Indian manufacturing and thus boost global competitiveness of the industrial sector. Foreign direct investment was looked upon as a major source of technology paradigm shift; in recent times industrial firms have been investing overseas even in countries to which they used to export based on their technological capabilities. Firms in Indian manufacturing industries have also attempted to bring about technological upgrades through imports of design and drawings (disembodied technology) against lump sum royalty and technical knowhow fees and imports of capital machinery (embodied technology) where the technology is embodied in the capital good itself. This volume comprises empirical contributions on this emerging phenomenon on a range of issues including the role of R&D; mergers acquisitions and technological efforts; technological determinants of competitive advantages; the role of small and medium enterprises and regional patterns; technological efforts and global operations; and the role of industrial clusters in promoting innovation and competitiveness. This book was originally published as a special issue of Innovation and Development. | Innovation and Global Competitiveness Case of India's Manufacturing Sector

Relics Shrines and Pilgrimages Sanctity in Europe from Late Antiquity

Since Late Antiquity relics have provided a privileged spiritual bond between life and death between human beings and divinity. Royalty nobility and clergy all tried to obtain the most prestigious remains of sacred bodies since they granted influence and fame and allowed the cult around them to be used as a means of sacralization power and propaganda. This volume traces the development of the veneration of relics in Europe and how these objects were often catalysts for the establishment of major pilgrimage sites that are still in use today. The book features an international panel of contributors taking a wide-ranging look at relic worship across Europe from Late Antiquity until the present day. They begin with a focus on the role of relics in Jacobean pilgrimage before looking at the link between relics and their shrines more generally. The book then focuses in on two major issues in the study of relics the stealing of relics (Furta Sacra) and their modern-day scientific examination and authentication. These topics demonstrate not only symbolic importance of relics but also their role as physical historical objects in material religious expression. This is a fascinating collection featuring the latest scholarship on relics and pilgrimage across Europe. It will therefore be of great interested to academics working in Pilgrimage Religious History Material Religion and Religious Studies as well as Anthropology Archaeology Art and Cultural Studies. | Relics Shrines and Pilgrimages Sanctity in Europe from Late Antiquity

Why Cities Need Large Parks Large Parks in Large Cities

The large parks and green infrastructure presented here illustrate the diverse uses and many benefits of large urban parks across 30 major cities. Demand for large urban parks emerged at the height of the First Industrial Revolution in the mid-1800s when large urban parks represented new ideas of accessible public spaces often established on land previously owned by aristocracy royalty or the army. They represented new ideas on how city life could be improved and how large green spaces could enhance urban citizens’ physical and psychological well-being (e. g. Birkenhead Park in Liverpool Bois de Boulogne in Paris Tiergarten in Berlin and Central Park in New York City). Today large urban parks are habitats for biodiversity and spaces of climate change adaptation. For people living in cities this biodiversity may represent high cultural recreational and aesthetic values but is also important for other aspects of health and well-being for example by reducing the urban heat island effect air pollution and risks of flooding. At a time when we are seriously reconsidering how we live in cities and our urban quality of life while also grappling with serious challenges of climate change the authors of this book detail the much-needed evidence pathways and vision for a future of more liveable resilient cities where large urban parks are at the core. This book will help park managers NGOs landscape architects and city planners to develop the green city of the future. | Why Cities Need Large Parks Large Parks in Large Cities

Mineral Mining in Africa Legal and Fiscal Regimes

Africa is endowed with commercially viable quantities of several minerals and metals and more than ever before African countries wish to harness their mineral resources for their economic development. The African mining sector has witnessed a revolution in terms of new mining codes and amendments to extant mining codes which are designed to achieve a multitude of objectives including the assertion of greater control over exploitation of mineral resources; optimization of resource royalties and taxes; promotion of equity participation in mining projects; enhancement of indigenization in the form of domestic participation in mineral production and local content requirements; value addition and beneficiation in terms of domestic processing of raw mineral ores and metals in Africa; and the promotion of sustainable practices in the mining sector. This book analyzes the legal and fiscal frameworks for hard-rock mining in several African countries including Botswana Democratic Republic of Congo Ethiopia Ghana Guinea Kenya Namibia Nigeria Liberia Tanzania Sierra Leone South Africa South Sudan Zambia and Zimbabwe with reference to other resource-rich countries. It engages in a comparative analysis of mining statutes in Africa with regard to topics such as the acquisition of mineral rights; types of mineral rights; the nature of mineral rights; the rights and obligations of mineral right holders; security of mineral tenure; surface rights; fiscal regimes including royalty and tax regimes; resource nationalism in the mining sector; management and utilization of mining revenues including benefit-sharing arrangements between mining companies and host communities; environmental stewardship; and sustainable exploitation of mineral resources. | Mineral Mining in Africa Legal and Fiscal Regimes
