This lively collection of essays, originally published in 1989,
illustrated recent developments in the area, with chapters by
contributors from many different countries and disciplines. Asking
new questions and using sources in a challenging way, the
contributors reflect 1980s debates about politics and academic
research in women's studies. They cover a wide range of topics,
dealing for example with opportunities and obstacles for women
within male-defined power-structures and institutions such as
science, religious communities, and ancient Roman industry. They
discuss feminists and feminist movements, analyse the utterances of
women and men in medieval literature and in defamation cases, and
give insights into the ways femaleness and femininity are given
meaning. The essays on theory deal with such important issues as
women's historiography, and androcentrism and ethnocentrism in
history.
Responsible Innovation encourages innovators to work together with
stakeholders during the research and innovation process, to better
align the outcomes of innovation with the values, needs and
expectations of society. Assessing the benefits and costs of
Responsible Innovation is crucial for furthering the responsible
conduct of science, technology and innovation. However, there is
until now only limited academic work on Responsible Innovation
assessment. This book fills this lacuna. Assessment of Responsible
Innovation: Methods and Practices presents tools for measuring,
monitoring, and reporting upon the Responsible Innovation process
and the social, environmental, scientific, and economic impacts of
innovations. These tools help innovators to mitigate risk and to
strengthen their strategic planning. This book aligns assessment
tools and practices with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). The prospects as well as the limitations of various
Responsible Innovation assessment approaches and tools are
discussed, as well as their applicability in various industry
contexts. The book brings together leading scholars in the field to
present the most comprehensive review of Responsible Innovation
tools. It articulates the importance of assessment and value
creation, the different metrics and monitoring systems that can be
deployed and the reporting mechanisms, including the importance of
effective communication. This book is freely available as a

Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the first book in a four-book series, The Dave Pelz Scoring Game Series. The next volume in the series will be Dave Pelz's Putting Bible.
"He who rules the short game collects the gold." --Dave Pelz's Golden Rule of Golf
Fed up with trying to imitate the pros, buying the latest expensive equipment, and seeing your handicap stay the same? The first book by bestselling author and internationally revered golf instructor Dave Pelz since Putt Like the Pros, his bestselling classic, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible can show you the way to lower scores by improving your short game. The result of decades of scientific research studying thousands of golfers, Dave's philosophy is as simple as it is revolutionary and groundbreaking: Instead of practicing the wrong things the right way, or the right things the wrong way, Pelz shows you how to find your own personal weaknesses and how to improve them to efficiently lower your scores. Packed with all the knowledge, charts, and photos needed to learn from the master, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the essential book for every golfer who's looking to improve his or her game.
Dave's approach to golf is easy to understand: 80 percent of the strokes golfers lose to par are determined by their play within 100 yards of the green--the crucial scoring game. The most important and yet the least focused-on aspect of golf, your short game, can indeed make or break your entire game. And nobody teaches the short game like Dave Pelz. His renowned golf schools and clinics focus exclusively on putting and the short game, attracting top players like Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, reigning PGA champion Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, Payne Stewart, Peter Jacobsen, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. The pros know, as you are about to learn, that while others teach golfers how to swing, Dave Pelz teaches golfers how to score . . . and win.
A former physicist for NASA, Dave brings a scientific rigor to his research and instruction that has made him the top short-game expert in the world. Dave has observed and then taught thousands of golfers to improve their ability to score better. The years he has spent studying the short game, including chipping, lobs, pitches, distance wedges, and bunker play, have resulted in an unequaled expertise and a fascinating body of knowledge on golf, with the statistics and data to back it up. In this new book, Dave for the first time shares the understanding and techniques he has taught the pros, including a wide array of innovative tests and exercises for mastering those deceptive and high-pressure shots of the short game.
Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is an essential book for golfers of all levels. Covering everything golfers need to know to improve their short game, Dave's system can--and will--help you to consistently shoot lower scores.
Large technological systems, such as seaports, nuclear power
stations, wind farms and natural gas extraction, provide vital
functions for society. And yet these large technological systems
have an impact on different stakeholder groups in both positive and
negative ways. This book defines responsible innovation and
describes how both the innovation process and the resulting
innovation outcome can be designed, created and implemented in a
way that respects the various stakeholder groups involved and
affected by the system. Taking a case-based approach, a number of
large technological systems are profiled, including hydraulic
engineering, nuclear energy, smart metering, and wind power. The
values of each of the stakeholder groups, and the costs and
benefits of the systems presented, are analysed. The book concludes
by combining these insights to provide a framework for how
responsible innovation of large technological systems can be
implemented in practice. The book will be of particular interest to
undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in
technology and innovation management, and corporate governance, CSR
and business ethics.
A radical vision for a better future: an economy that works for us,
rather than the other way around. As this major German bestseller
reports, our world is at a tipping point, and we feel it every day.
Costs are rising, the gap between the rich and poor is increasing,
natural resources are depleted, and the effects of climate change
are starting to take hold. We are under increasing social and
environmental stress. But, as leading economist Maja Göpel argues
here, there is another path forward. She invites us to imagine what
we want our future to look like, and offers solutions that will
help us to get there. It’s time to question our principles, set
new goals, and re-evaluate our priorities. Time to rethink our
world and find new ways of living that don’t drain our planet any
further. We need a fair distribution of wealth, and a way to
reconcile the social with the ecological. We need to work smarter,
not harder. Critical, yet full of encouragement, Maja Göpel
chooses surprising and enlightening examples to illustrate how we
can leave behind our familiar ways of living to achieve a better
future.
The development and introduction of a new technology to society can
be viewed as an experimental process, full of uncertainties, which
are only gradually reduced as the technology is employed.
Unexpected developments may trigger an experimental process in
which society must find new ways to deal with the uncertainties
posed. This book explores how the experimental perspective
determines what ethical issues new technologies raise and how it
helps morally evaluate their introduction. Expert contributors
highlight the uncertainties that accompany the process, identify
the social and ethical challenges they give rise to, and propose
strategies to manage them. Focusing on the introduction of new
technologies and experimentation as ways to perceive new
developments and changing contexts, a key theme of the book is how
to approach the moral issues raised by new technology and
understand the role of experimentation in exploring these matters.
Founded as a boutique mail-order service in 1963, Biba - the
brainchild of designer Barbara Hulanicki - quickly gained cult
status, and outgrew several London premises before landing at 99 -
117 Kensington High Street in 1973 as 'Big Biba', 'the most
beautiful store in the world'. This book tells the story of the
Biba years, from the first ensembles, through the four iconic
London shops, to the eventual flourishing of a lifestyle brand that
revolutionized British retail and fashion culture. Featuring a
wealth of previously unpublished material, including early fashion
illustrations by Hulanicki and full-colour facsimiles of the six
luxurious Biba catalogues, The Biba Years investigates the
innovative ethos of the company - the first retailer to bring
affordable fashion to the young consumers of the 1960s and '70s.
Extensive garment photography documents the unique Biba 'look',
while archival images provide a glimpse into the glamorous
surrounds of the hugely popular London stores. An ideal companion
to A to Biba: The Autobiography of Barbara Hulanicki (V&A,
2018), this beautiful book incorporates many personal insights from
the designer and her contemporaries at Biba, and includes new
illustrations by Hulanicki created specially for the publication.
The Biba Years provides the last word on a fashion phenomenon,
whose extensive impact on the fashion industry can still be felt
today.
First published in 1989. Focusing on leisure and policy in West
European cities, this interdisciplinary study is written by leading
policy analysts and academics from six European Community states:
Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United
Kingdom. The emergence of leisure as a significant area of public
policy in both developed and developing economies has been
recognised only relatively recently, and this book was the first to
deal with urban leisure policy in a European context. Common themes
in this study include the use of tourism as a strategic tool for
the economic regeneration of cities, leisure as a vehicle of
community development and of social integration, and the role of
leisure in the development of socialist municipal policy
programmes. This book should be of interest to policy makers in
local government, lecturers and students of development, tourism,
economics, and urban studies.
In their efforts to emulate the methodology which had proved so
successful in the natural sciences, the social sciences - including
sociology - have not yet faced the question as to what constitutes
understanding in their area with sufficient seriousness. This book
asks again: what does understanding denote in an area where man
tries to understand man, where self-understanding is involved,
where new understanding immediately becomes part of that which is
to be understood? What can we know and what is the use and
limitation of knowledge in sociology? When are we conscious that we
know and understand? Werner Pelz argues for a thorough
reorientation in our approach to sociological thinking, and
suggests that scientistic preconceptions have often precluded
possibly fruitful approaches to humane understanding. He
investigates the relations between various kinds of knowing, and
examines the new possibilities of understanding made available, for
example, by psychoanalytical and phenomenological insights, as well
as by those of poets, artists, mystics. He shows that in the social
and humanistic sciences, creative or constitutive contributions
illuminate rather than demonstrate, and that, for this reason,
sociology has not yet found an appropriate method for conveying
them without serious distortions.
Property and power perform a key role in social and political
theories of class inequality and social stratification, however,
theorists have yet clearly to define these concepts, their mutual
boundaries and scopes of application. This book answers the
property/power puzzle by undertaking a broad historical inquiry
into its intellectual origins and present-day effects through a
series of case studies, including:
Marxism vs. anarchism
* the fascist assertion of the primacy of the political
* social science as power theory
* the managerial revolution
* the knowledge society and the new intellectual classes
The Intellectual as Stranger explores the historical association
between images of the intellectual and those of the stranger, or
the outsider to society. Using detailed case-studies, Pels examines
the ambiguous strangerhood of political intellectuals such as Marx,
Durkheim, Sorel, Freyer and Hendrik de Man.
When many people are involved in an activity, it is often
difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint who is morally
responsible for what, a phenomenon known as the 'problem of many
hands.' This term is increasingly used to describe problems with
attributing individual responsibility in collective settings in
such diverse areas as public administration, corporate management,
law and regulation, technological development and innovation,
healthcare, and finance. This volume provides an in-depth
philosophical analysis of this problem, examining the notion of
moral responsibility and distinguishing between different normative
meanings of responsibility, both backward-looking (accountability,
blameworthiness, and liability) and forward-looking (obligation,
virtue). Drawing on the relevant philosophical literature, the
authors develop a coherent conceptualization of the problem of many
hands, taking into account the relationship, and possible tension,
between individual and collective responsibility. This systematic
inquiry into the problem of many hands pertains to discussions
about moral responsibility in a variety of applied settings.
