Conservation and Restoration of Built Heritage A History of Conservation Culture and its More Recent Developments

Conservation and Restoration of Built Heritage A History of Conservation Culture and its More Recent Developments

The word conservation when used in the context of the preservation of built heritage implies an intrinsically complex concept that evolved over time since it has been influenced by the perception of history throughout time. This volume emphasises why an understanding of the cultural evolution of the conservation approach must be considered a prerequisite for architects and engineers if they are to cooperate in full harmony with historic-artistic culture for the preservation of global built heritage. In particular the volume highlights how during the second half of the last century the preservation process also involved engineering – the science of making practical applications of knowledge – which for a long time made an uncritical use of techniques and materials and devised interventions on historical heritage that were heavily invasive. The volume also devotes special attention to the problems related to seismic risk to which Italy Greece and Portugal are particularly prone. Problems that emerge during the crisis and reconstruction phases are dealt with in detail as is scheduled maintenance as this latter approach always constitutes an improvement in the performance of the monument and is the most appropriate tool for the conservation of the built heritage. Finally the volume collects examples of building restoration with case studies of many outstanding monuments. The work will appeal to professionals and academics in the broader fields of civil engineering (both geotechnical and structural engineering) architecture art history the history of architecture restoration and cultural heritage management. This book will: Provide a critical reading of the history of conservation; Discuss materials and techniques of ancient architecture; Cover seismic vulnerability and preservation of the historic integrity of the monument; Advocate an approach based on programmed maintenance; Feature numerous case histories including St Mark’s Basilica in Venice and the complex restoration of the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. | Conservation and Restoration of Built Heritage A History of Conservation Culture and its More Recent Developments

Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry

Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry

Since the 1992 Earth Summit there have been increased efforts on an international scale to address global climate change. Reducing the increased levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases which are believed to be contributing to this climatic change will require major effort on the part of the world's governments. This means that the environmental economic social and political consequences of climate change must be understood and that strategies to mitigate climate change must also address these issues. The workshop detailed in this book concentrated on how economic principles and analysis could contribute to the planning of forestry projects aimed at affecting terrestrial carbon balances. More than 30 international scientists came together for one week near Stockholm Sweden and divided into working groups charged with addressing a specific issue and preparing a paper within this time frame. This book contains the majority of papers presented at this meeting and includes both the working group papers and the individually presented papers. | Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry

The Voices of Women in Witchcraft Trials Northern Europe

The Voices of Women in Witchcraft Trials Northern Europe

Women come to the fore in witchcraft trials as accused persons or as witnesses and this book is a study of women’s voices in these trials in eight countries around the North Sea: Spanish Netherlands Northern Germany Denmark Scotland England Norway Sweden and Finland. From each country three trials are chosen for close reading of courtroom discourse and the narratological approach enables various individuals to speak. Throughout the study a choir of 24 voices of accused women are heard which reveal valuable insight into the field of mentalities and display both the individual experience of witchcraft accusation and the development of the trial. Particular attention is drawn to the accused women’s confessions which are interpreted as enforced narratives. The analyses of individual trials are also contextualized nationally and internationally by a frame of historical elements and a systematic comparison between the countries shows strong similarities regarding the impact of specific ideas about witchcraft use of pressure and torture the turning point of the trial and the verdict and sentence. This volume is an essential resource for all students and scholars interested in the history of witchcraft witchcraft trials transnationality cultural exchanges and gender in early modern Northern Europe. | The Voices of Women in Witchcraft Trials Northern Europe

The Swedish Jews and the Holocaust

The Swedish Jews and the Holocaust

We will be judged in our own time and in the future by measuring the aid that we inhabitants of a free and fortunate country gave to our brethren in this time of greatest disaster. This declaration made shortly after the pogroms of November 1938 by the Jewish communities in Sweden was truer than anyone could have forecast at the time. Pontus Rudberg focuses on this sensitive issue – Jewish responses to the Nazi persecutions and mass murder of Jews. What actions did Swedish Jews take to aid the Jews in Europe during the years 1933–45 and what determined their policies and actions? Specific attention is given to the aid efforts of the Jewish Community of Stockholm including the range of activities in which the community engaged and the challenges and opportunities presented by official refugee policy in Sweden. | The Swedish Jews and the Holocaust

NATO and Collective Defence in the 21st Century An Assessment of the Warsaw Summit

NATO and Collective Defence in the 21st Century An Assessment of the Warsaw Summit

This book presents a cutting-edge assessment of NATO's collective defence strategies in the immediate aftermath of the July 2016 NATO Warsaw Summit. Collective defence and deterrence came back on the agenda at the 2014 Wales Summit following the Russian annexation of Crimea and was in many respects a game changer for NATO. The Warsaw Summit was a follow-up and operationalization of the Wales Summit as well as adding further initiatives to the agenda. But is NATO delivering? This book provides a thorough assessment of the on-going debates and discussions taking place within and outside of NATO in Europe and North America. In its return to deterrence NATO is confronted with challenges relating to strategic thinking capability development and the role of nuclear weapons. It has also raised questions about the future prospects for NATO membership for countries such as Sweden and Finland with broader implications for the security situation in the Baltic region. Central to all this is of course NATO’s relationship with Russia and questions of a new security dilemma in turning bringing to the fore the challenge of maintaining an appropriate balance between deterrence and dialogue. The chapters in this volume address these questions and provide a much-needed analysis of the results of the NATO Warsaw Summit. This book will be of interest to policymakers and students of NATO international security European Politics security studies and IR in general. | NATO and Collective Defence in the 21st Century An Assessment of the Warsaw Summit

Contested Territories and International Law A Comparative Study of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict and the Aland Islands Precedent

Contested Territories and International Law A Comparative Study of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict and the Aland Islands Precedent

This book considers the possibilities for resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict in the context of comparative international law. The armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the territory of the Nagorno-Karabakh has been on the peace and security agenda since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This volume draws parallels with a similar situation between Sweden and Finland over sovereignty of the Aland Islands in the early 20th century. Resolved in 1921 it is argued that this represents a model autonomy solution for territorial conflicts that include questions of territorial integrity self-determination and minority rights. The book compares both conflict situations from the international law perspective finding both commonalities and dissimilarities. It advances the application of the solution found in the Aland Islands precedent as a model for the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict and provides appropriate recommendations for its implementation. The book will be of interest to academics researchers and policymakers in the areas of international law and security conflict resolution and international relations.
