Nowhere To Go But Down? Peasant Farming and the International Development Game

Nowhere To Go But Down? Peasant Farming and the International Development Game

Originally published in 1989 this book is a unique examination of subsistence farming in the developing world and its potential for development. The author writes from the conviction that the farming system is limited in its potential for development by the energy value of manpower and that unless the plight of developing world communities is understood and the importance of manpower constraint recognized inputs of development funds will be wasted. Clarifying the strengths and limitations of the subsistence farming system the book makes clear the complexities and difficulties encountered in achieving agricultural development in the poorest countries – providing an informed insight into the inevitability of future famine. | Nowhere To Go But Down?

Married to Melanesia

Married to Melanesia

‘We were married after three years at opposite ends of the world…. We then too rapidly for comfort made off in a snowstorm for the South Seas…. All this we imprudently did in our late forties. ’ Thus Muriel Jones introduces her account originally published in 1974 of how she came to start her married life in the Solomon Islands ‘whose impact was traumatic perhaps just because we were not in our first youth or innocent of other tropical experience’. ‘St Peter’s College was the only thing at Siota’; there was no store and the only post office on the island ‘was so difficult of access that I never visited it … we ourselves did most of the postal business – quite informally – at our end of the island’. It is not surprising that even high-ranking visitors tended to arrive looking like ship-wrecked sailors. ‘If one was ill enough to see a doctor one was on the whole too ill to be subjected to several hours of sun or rain in an open boat and a probable night en route. ’ There is too the account of the old lady whose family on her death wanted to bury her in a coffin instead of the customary mat. ‘Poor old lady; at the end of all these exertions the coffin with her in it stood in the church for the funeral uneasily supported on two rickety small tables from our sitting room mutely exhorting us to STOW AWAY FROM BOILERS. ’ Muriel Jones tells the unusual story of her five Melanesian years of the impact of Christianity on a pagan people of her husband’s college and its move to another island of the students the islands and their animals and exotic vegetation of the islanders (nine-tenths of whom live in communities ranging from twenty to two hundred people) and of their changing way of life. Her story takes one about as far as it is possible to go from an urban civilisation and in telling it she reveals the resources of her own character. | Married to Melanesia

A Clash of Paradigms Response and Development in the South Pacific

A Clash of Paradigms Response and Development in the South Pacific

This title was first published in 2001. This study indicates that researchers have far to go in understanding and assessing how development projects work. The author shows that often the perception of failure is not shared by those whom were intended to benefit. She uses a case study of Samoan villagers introduced to cattle farming to examine the wider development process and challenge the conventional theories. By drawing on people-centred perspectives that give much greater weight to the role of culture in development the volume does not simply criticize development project management but suggests practical and positive ways forward encouraging spontaneous indigenous development which should be supported by projects where appropriate. | A Clash of Paradigms Response and Development in the South Pacific

Revival: Law in the Modern State (1921)

Revival: Law in the Modern State (1921)

It is perhaps worth explaining why there is a special importance in the present development of the theory of the State. Law like every social phenomenon is subject to perpetual change; indeed any scientific study of law must necessarily involve an analysis of the evolution of legal institutions. In a sense therefore the trasnformation of the state is also the transformation of its law. But we must go a little deeper. The real justification of this book is the immediate situation of political theory. Just as every living being has moments in its existence when even while obeying the general law of its life it undergoes a change that is especially fundamental in importance so it is in the history of peoples. | Revival: Law in the Modern State (1921)

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural uses an autoethnographic account of the author’s experience of living in Iran in the 1970s to demonstrate the constant struggle to prevent the intercultural from being dominated by essentialist grand narratives that falsely define us within separate bounded national or civilisational cultures. This book provides critical insight that: DeCentres how we encounter and research the intercultural by means of a third-space methodology Recovers the figurative creative flowing and boundary-dissolving power of culture Recognises hybrid integration which enables us the choice and agency to be ourselves with others in intercultural settings Demonstrates how early native-speakerism pulls us back to essentialist large-culture blocks. Aimed at students and researchers in applied linguistics intercultural studies sociology and education this volume shows how cultural difference in stories personal space language practices and values generates unexpected and transcendent threads of experience to which we can all relate within small culture formation on the go.

Construction Safety Management Systems

Construction Safety Management Systems

The construction industry has a distressingly poor safety record whether measured in absolute terms or alongside other industries. The level of construction safety in a country is influenced by factors such as variations in the labour forces shifting economies insurance rates legal ramifications and the stage of technological development. Yet the problem is a world-wide one and many of the ways of tackling it can be applied across countries. Effective tools include designing preplanning training management commitment and the development of a safety culture. The introduction and operation of effective safety management systems represents a viable way forwards but these systems are all too rarely implemented. How can this be done? Should we go back to prescriptive legislation? This book considers these questions by drawing together leading-edge research papers from the proceedings of an international conference conducted by a commission (W099) on Safety and Health on Construction Sites of CIB the international council of building research organisations. | Construction Safety Management Systems

Traveling through Video Games

Traveling through Video Games

This book unlocks an understanding of video games as virtual travel. It explains how video game design increasingly takes cues from the promotional language of tourism and how this connection raises issues of power and commodification. Bridging the disciplinary gap between game and tourism studies the book offers a comprehensive account of touristic gazing in games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Minecraft and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Traveling through video games involves a mythological promise of open-ended opportunity summarized in the slogan you can go there. Van Nuenen discusses the scale of game worlds the elusive nature of freedom and control and the pivotal role of work in creating a sense of belonging. The logic of tourism is fundamentally consumptive—but through design choices players can also be invited to approach their travels more critically. This is the difference between moving through a game world and being moved by it. This interdisciplinary and innovative study will interest students and scholars of digital media studies game studies tourism and technology and the Digital Humanities.

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements explores the long-held idea that urban planning is the link in moving from knowledge to action. Observing that the knowledge domain of the planning profession is constantly expanding the approach is a deep philosophical analysis of what is the quality and character of understanding that urban planners need for expert engagement in urban planning episodes. This book philosophically analyses the problems in understanding the nature of action — both individual and social action. Included in the analysis are the philosophical concerns regarding space/place and the institution of private property. The final chapter extensively explores the linkage between knowledge and action. This emerges as the process of design in seeking better urban communities — design processes that go beyond buildings tools or fashions but are focused on bettering human urban relationships. Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements provides rich analysis and understanding of the theory and history of planning and what it means for planning practitioners on the ground. | Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Rethinking the Rhetorical Presidency

Rethinking the Rhetorical Presidency

In The Rhetorical Presidency Jeffrey Tulis argues that the president’s relationship to the public has changed dramatically since the Constitution was enacted: while previously the president avoided any discussions of public policy so as to avoid demagoguery the president is now expected to go directly to the public using all the tools of rhetoric to influence public policy. This has effectively created a second Constitution that has been layered over and in part contradicts the original one. In our volume scholars from different subfields of political science extend Tulis’s perspective to the judiciary and Congress; locate the origins of the constitutional change in the Progressive Era; highlight the role of Theodore Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson and the mass media in transforming the presidency; discuss the nature of demagoguery and whether in fact rhetoric is undesirable; and relate the rhetorical presidency to the public’s ignorance of the workings of a government more complex than the Founders imagined. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society. | Rethinking the Rhetorical Presidency
