explores approaches for creating ideal food shopping and
consumption experiences, and the challenges food customers face
today. With a basis in literature review and theoretical
background, the book illustrates specific case studies on food
shopping experiences, food consumption experience in restaurants,
and food experience and events, as well as insights on the
methodological tools adopted throughout. Topics include food and
food service design, the creation of customer loyalty through
experiences, communication strategies like food promotion and event
management, and defining product positioning in a competitive
environment. This book is an excellent resource for industry
professionals in the food and beverage sectors, including those who
work in marketing, communication, hospitality, and management, as
well as students studying business management, tourism management,
event management, applied marketing, and consumer behavior.
Race and Real Estate brings together new work by architects,
sociologists, legal scholars, and literary critics that qualifies
and complicates traditional narratives of race, property, and
citizenship in the United States. Rather than simply rehearsing the
standard account of how blacks were historically excluded from
homeownership, the authors of these essays explore how the raced
history of property affects understandings of home and citizenship.
While the narrative of race and real estate in America has usually
been relayed in terms of institutional subjugation, dispossession,
and forced segregation, the essays collected in this volume
acknowledge the validity of these histories while presenting new
perspectives on this story.
Beyond Yellow English is the first edited volume to examine issues
of language, identity, and culture among the rapidly growing Asian
Pacific American (APA) population. The distinguished
contributors-who represent a broad range of perspectives from
anthropology, sociolinguistics, English, and education-focus on the
analysis of spoken interaction and explore multiple facets of the
APA experience. Authors cover topics such as media representations
of APAs; codeswitching and language crossing; and narratives of
ethnic identity. The collection examines the experiences of Asian
Pacific Americans of different ethnicities, generations, ages, and
geographic locations across home, school, community, and
performance sites.
On June 16, 1976, Hector Pieterson, an ordinary boy, lost his life after getting caught up in what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Black South African students were marching against a new law requiring that they be taught half of their subjects in Afrikaans, the language of the white government. The story’s events unfold from the perspectives of Hector, his sister, and the photographer who captured their photo in the chaos.
This book can serve as a pertinent tool for adults discussing global history and race relations with children. Its graphic novel style and mixed media art portray the vibrancy and grit of Hector’s daily life and untimely death.
With powerful sequential art, debut author-illustrator Adrienne Wright tells Hector Pieterson’s story and recounts the heartbreaking events that woke up the world and helped lead to the end of South Africa’s apartheid.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Harness the hidden power of kindness. Kindness isn't merely about
getting along with people and being nice. It's a game changer in
business, the door-opener to opportunity, and the key to
authenticity and confidence. It's a superpower that can be honed
through an intentional lifestyle of kindness and is especially
important in these divisive times. Can something as simple as
kindness really be the answer? Through years of developing her own
kindness practices and studying those of others, Good Morning
America correspondent and anchor Adrienne Bankert has experienced
firsthand the unbeatable power of kindness and witnessed its
transformative impact on others. Adjusting our perspective from
being closed off and self-centered to a mindset of kindness ripples
into a staggering amount of personal fulfillment and growth. No
matter our age or ethnicity, where we come from, or how much money
we make, every one of us can be kind. Every one of us can be a
change agent. Your Hidden Superpower will help you: See simple acts
of kindness from a new and empowering perspective; Learn how to
make kindness a habit and experience more peace, inspiration, and
impact; Engage kindness at work and enjoy remarkable
opportunities-plus, know how to get from "here" to "there" quickly;
and Activate kindness as a force to reconnect you to your authentic
self, replenish your passion and creativity, and find your voice.
This edited collection explores the malleability and influence of
body image, focusing particularly on how media representation and
popular culture's focus on the body exacerbates the crucial social
influence these representations can have on audiences' perceptions
of themselves and others. Contributors investigate the cultural
context and lived experiences of individuals' relationships with
their bodies, going beyond examination of the thin, ideal body type
to explore the emerging representations and portrayals of a diverse
set of body types across the media spectrum, paving the way for
future research on this topic. Scholars of media studies, popular
culture, and health communication will find this book particularly
useful.
For the first time, this book presents the complete collection of
Greek inscriptions of Gebel el-Silsila East – Ancient Egypt’s
largest and most important sandstone quarry, including lists of
names and professions of individuals involved in the quarry
expeditions. The inscriptions are described, illustrated and
analysed and placed within their archaeological context based on
careful documentation in situ with up-to-date methodology. The work
makes substantial contributions in the form of novel and improved
readings and interpretations of known texts and of the new
publication of texts discovered through the fieldwork. It is the
first volume of three dealing with Graeco-Roman inscriptions on the
east bank, with the following two volumes to cover the demotic
texts and quarry marks respectively.
Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a 'go-to' reference for
methods and applications of quantitative magnetic resonance
imaging, with specific sections on Relaxometry, Perfusion, and
Diffusion. Each section will start with an explanation of the basic
techniques for mapping the tissue property in question, including a
description of the challenges that arise when using these basic
approaches. For properties which can be measured in multiple ways,
each of these basic methods will be described in separate chapters.
Following the basics, a chapter in each section presents more
advanced and recently proposed techniques for quantitative tissue
property mapping, with a concluding chapter on clinical
applications. The reader will learn: The basic physics behind
tissue property mapping How to implement basic pulse sequences for
the quantitative measurement of tissue properties The strengths and
limitations to the basic and more rapid methods for mapping the
magnetic relaxation properties T1, T2, and T2* The pros and cons
for different approaches to mapping perfusion The methods of
Diffusion-weighted imaging and how this approach can be used to
generate diffusion tensor maps and more complex representations of
diffusion How flow, magneto-electric tissue property, fat fraction,
exchange, elastography, and temperature mapping are performed How
fast imaging approaches including parallel imaging, compressed
sensing, and Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting can be used to
accelerate or improve tissue property mapping schemes How tissue
property mapping is used clinically in different organs
Public understanding of, and outcry over, the dire state of the
climate and environment is greater than ever before. Parties across
the political spectrum claim to be climate leaders, and overt
denial is on the way out. Yet when it comes to slowing the course
of the climate and nature crises, despite a growing number of
pledges, policies and summits, little ever seems to change. Nature
is being destroyed at an unprecedented rate. We remain on course
for a catastrophic 3 DegreesC of warming. What's holding us back?
In this searing and insightful critique, Adrienne Buller examines
the fatal biases that have shaped the response of our governing
institutions to climate and environmental breakdown, and asks: are
the 'solutions' being proposed really solutions? Tracing the
intricate connections between financial power, economic injustice
and ecological crisis, she exposes the myopic economism and
market-centric thinking presently undermining a future where all
life can flourish. The book examines what is wrong with mainstream
climate and environmental governance, from carbon pricing and
offset markets to 'green growth', the commodification of nature and
the growing influence of the finance industry on environmental
policy. In doing so, it exposes the self-defeating logic of a
response to these challenges based on creating new opportunities
for profit, and a refusal to grapple with the inequalities and
injustices that have created them. Both honest and optimistic, The
Value of a Whale asks us - in the face of crisis - what we really
value. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable
Development Goal 11, Sustainable cities and communities -- .
