Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

On April 28 1858 municipal officials announced the winner of the design contest for a great new park for the people of New York City-Plan no. 33 Greensward by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Though the appropriated ground for what was to become Central Park was nothing more than a barren expanse occupied by squatters in a matter of a few years Olmsted turned the wasteland into a landscape of coherence elegance and beauty. It not only surpassed the design ingenuity of its existing European counterparts but gained the designer national acclaim in a profession that still lacked a name. Olmsted was an American visionary. He foresaw the day when New York and many other growing cities of the mid-nineteenth century would be plagued by what we presently term urban sprawl. And he was convinced of the critical importance of adapting land for the recreational and contemplative needs of city dwellers before the last remnants of natural terrain were engulfed by monotonous straight streets and piles of erect angular buildings. As a result of his early efforts to revolutionize the design of public parks many cities today are able to preserve the recreational space and greenery within their urban limits. In addition his thoughts and words on wilderness areas still echo across a century of preservation in the wild. This lively and insightful account of his prodigious life features many of his outstanding landscape projects including the Biltmore Estate Prospect Park (Brooklyn) the capitol grounds in Washington DC the Boston Park System the Chicago parks and the Chicago World Fair as well as measures to preserve the natural settings at Niagara Falls Yosemite and the Adirondacks. It traces his early years and describes events that were to form his artistic intellectual and deeply humanistic sensibilities. And it restores this lost American hero to his prominent place in history. In addition to being the acknowledged father of American landscape architecture Frederick Law Olmsted helped shape the political and philosophical climate of America in his own time and today. Elizabeth Stevenson is the author of the Bancroft Award-winning Henry Adams: A Biography; The Glass Lark a biography of Lafcadio Hearn; and Babbitts and Bohemians: From the Great War to the Great Depression all available from Transaction. | Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

Risk A Sociological Theory

Risk A Sociological Theory

A great deal of attention has been devoted to risk research. Sociologists in general have limited themselves to varying recognitions of a society at risk and have traced out the paths to disaster. The detailed research has yet to be undertaken. In Risk now available in paperback Niklas Luhmann develops a theoretical program for such research. His premise is that the concept of risk projects essential aspects of our description of the future onto the present. Risk is conceived as the possibility of triggering unexpected unlikely and detrimental consequences by means of a decision attributable to a decision maker. | Risk A Sociological Theory

Decolonising Media and Communication Studies Education in Sub-Saharan Africa

Decolonising Media and Communication Studies Education in Sub-Saharan Africa

The book provides insights on decolonising media and communication studies education from diverse African scholars at different stages of their careers. These academics located on the continent and in the diaspora share an interest in decolonising higher education broadly and media and communication studies teaching and learning in particular. Although many African countries gained flag independence from different European colonial powers between the 1950s and the 1970s this book argues that former colonies remain ensnared in a colonial power matrix. Many African universities did not jettison ways of teaching and learning established during colonialism and even those journalism communication and media studies training programmes which were established after the attainment of flag independence did not place decolonial agendas at the front and centre when setting them up. Starting with big picture thematic questions around decolonisation the book goes on to consider what the implications of change would be for students and instructors before reflecting on how far it is possible to decolonise curricula and syllabi and what this might look like in practice across a range of subject areas and country contexts. Overall this book presents a nuanced picture of what a decolonised media and communication studies education could look like in sub-Saharan Africa. This book is essential for researchers in Africa in disciplines such as media and communication studies journalism film studies cultural studies and higher education studies. More broadly the concepts and ideas on decolonising teaching and learning discussed in the book are relevant to instructors in any discipline who are interested in doing the decolonial work of contesting coloniality. | Decolonising Media and Communication Studies Education in Sub-Saharan Africa

Fingerponds: Seasonal Integrated Aquaculture in East African Freshwater Wetlands: Exploring their potential for wise use strategies PhD: UNE

Fingerponds: Seasonal Integrated Aquaculture in East African Freshwater Wetlands: Exploring their potential for wise use strategies PhD: UNE

Wetlands play an important role in the livelihoods of many rural households particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However due to decline in rainfed terrestrial agriculture many wetlands are being encroached upon to grow crops. The question to any wetland scientist/policy maker in the region is: what efforts can be made to achieve a balance between human needs for food and income and maintenance of ecosystem integrity?. This study analyses the potential of smallholder integrated aquaculture farming systems (calledFingerponds ) around the Lake Victoria wetlands in Kenya. Various analytical tools were used to evaluate the biophysical suitability nutrient flows benefits and environmental implications of this innovative technology. The critical biophysical factors determining Fingerponds productivity are site selection and water supply. The analysis of nutrient flows in the entire agroecosystem using nitrogen as the currency indicated that the total system throughput and hence the overall productivity of the system were low. Fingerponds contributed to household livelihoods by providing protein and income and added diversity to the household activities with minimal impacts on the natural environment. With careful implementation and adaptive management Fingerponds can be incorporated into national wetland policies and enhance the balance between economic development and environmental conservation. | Fingerponds: Seasonal Integrated Aquaculture in East African Freshwater Wetlands: Exploring their potential for wise use strategies PhD: UNE

Bahlabelelelani – Why Do They Sing? Gender and Power in Contemporary Women’s Songs

Bahlabelelelani – Why Do They Sing? Gender and Power in Contemporary Women’s Songs

Indigenous societies steeped in patriarchy have various channels through which they deal with abusive characteristics of relations in some of these communities. One such route is through songs which sanction women to voice that which bound by societal expectations they would not commonly be able to say. This book focuses on the nature of women’s contemporary songs in the rural community of Zwelibomvu near Pinetown in KwaZulu-Natal. It aims to answer the question ‘Bahlabelelelani – Why do they sing?’ drawing on several discourses of gender and power to examine the content and purposes of the songs. Restricted by custom women resort to allusive languages such as found in ukushoza a song genre that includes poetic elements and solo dance songs. The songs when read in conjunction with the interviews and focus group discussions present a complex picture of women’s lives in contemporary rural KwaZulu-Natal and they offer their commentary on what it means to be a woman in this society. | Bahlabelelelani – Why Do They Sing?

Remarriage and Stepfamilies in East Central Europe 1600-1900

Remarriage and Stepfamilies in East Central Europe 1600-1900

Due to high adult mortality and the custom of remarriage stepfamilies were a common phenomenon in pre-industrial Europe. Focusing on East Central Europe a neglected area of Western historiography this book draws essential comparisons in terms of remarriage patterns and stepfamily life between East Central Europe and Northwestern Europe. How did the specific economic military-political legal religious and cultural profile of the region affect remarriage patterns and stepfamily types? How did the greater propensity of widowed parents to remarry in some of the East Central European communities compared to Western ones shape the children’s lives? And how did the routine divorce before Orthodox courts by ordinary men and women shape relationships among children and adults belonging to blended families? By drawing on quantitative as well as qualitative approaches the book offers an historical demographical narrative of the frequency of stepfamilies in a comparative framework and also assesses the impact of stepparents on the mortality and career prospects of their stepchildren. The ethnic and religious diversity of East Central Europe also allows for distinctions and comparisons to be made within the region. Remarriage and Stepfamilies in East Central Europe 1600-1900 will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in the history of family marriage and society in East Central Europe.

Legal Foundations of Capitalism

Legal Foundations of Capitalism

In what has universally been recognized as a classic of institutional economics John R. Commons combined the skills of a professional economist the sensibilities of an American historian and the passion of an active participant in the conflicts of individuals self-interest of groups and function of voluntary associations. The aim of this volume is to work out an evolutionary and behavioral theory of value. In order to do so thoroughly Commons examines the decisions of the courts. Doing so compelled an examination of what the courts mean by reasonable value. Commons found that the answer was tied up with a notion of reasonable conduct. It was Commons who carried the study of the habits and customs of social life to the next stage: the decisions of the courts that are based on custom and that profoundly impact the nature and function of the economic system as such. Reviewing Legal Foundations of Capitalism Wesley Mitchell declared that Commons carried this analysis further along his chosen line than any of his predecessors. Into our knowledge of capitalism he has incorporated a great body of new materials which no one else has used adequately. And writing in the same American Economic Review twenty-one years later Selig Perlman noted that To Commons the workingmen were not abstract building blocks out of which a favored deity called History was to shape the architecture of the new society but concrete beings with legitimate ambitions for a higher standard of living and for more dignity in their lives. This edition is graced with a special introduction that places Commons in proper academic as well as intellectual context.

Military Rules Regulations and the Code of War Francis Lieber and the Certification of Conflict

Military Rules Regulations and the Code of War Francis Lieber and the Certification of Conflict

Military commanders from ancient time had set down rules and regulations to discipline their troops. From the Pharaohs on commanders directed the strategy tactics and camp discipline of the often unruly hosts of soldiers under their command. They had one aim: to create an efficient fighting force. Military officers camp-followers and cooks were all expected to perform their services according to mandate and in light of the best interests of the armed force and the fighting soldiery. Modern commanders have exemplified the same passion for military discipline to produce an effective combat machine. Military analyses derived from Roman law contained enough historical examples to fill an encyclopedia. Yet although addressed to the problems of their day they generally remained the private counsel of scholars and had little impact on political and military decisions. While theorists of international law were developing a body of rules to govern warfare practitioners of conflict were largely moved by the motives of military necessity. Under the dual auspices of military necessity and national self-interest the code of the military commander was simple: maintain a disciplined fighting force in order to achieve military victory. To remedy this gap between theory and practice a practical guide was needed which would briefly describe for commanders in the field the rights and obligations of belligerents as custom and theory had developed them. Then political and military policy could be expected to conform to the theoretical law of nations. This was the synthesis that the Lieber code proposed. Originally published in as Lieber's Law and the Code of War this paperback edition bears a new title that more precisely identifies the subjects covered. | Military Rules Regulations and the Code of War Francis Lieber and the Certification of Conflict
