Increased investment in the mining sector in Africa is often
presented as a key strategy to leverage growth and development on
the continent. It has been described as a "motor for growth," which
will contribute to poverty reduction. Massive investment has taken
place, but the results in crucial areas such as sustainable
economic and social development have been extremely disappointing.
These outcomes are most frequently attributed to dysfunctional
internal governance processes, mismanagement and corruption. Much
attention has been given in recent years to the issue of "the poor
resource governance" in mineral rich countries. In this volume,
academics, policy-makers and practitioners from Africa and beyond
aim to achieve a better understanding of these issues by proposing
a renewal of approaches. Discussing the cases of Ghana, Mali and
the Democratic Republic of the Congo they explore new ways of
thinking about issues concerning governance and revenue flows.
Death squads have become an increasingly common feature of the modern world. In nearly all instances, their establishment is tolerated, encouraged, or undertaken by the state itself, which thereby risks its monoply on the use of force, one of the fundamental characteristics of modern states. Why do such a variety of regimes, under very different circumstances, condone such activity? Death Squads in Global Perspective hopes to answer that question and explain not only their development, but also why they can be expected to proliferate in the early 21st century.
First published in 1947 in the USA. This edition reprints the first
UK edition of 1964. Published to critical acclaim, the central
argument of this book is that the historical play must be studied
as a genre separate from tragedy and comedy. Just as there is in
Shakespearean tragedies a dominant ethical pattern of passion
opposed to reason, so there is in the history plays a dominant
political pattern characteristic of the political philosophy of the
age. From the 'troublesome reign' of King John to the 'tragical
doings' of Richard III, Shakespeare wove the events of English
history into plots of universal interest.
In the early twentieth century, the magic of radio was new,
revolutionary, and poorly understood. A powerful symbol of
modernity, radio was a site where individuals wrestled and came to
terms with an often frightening wave of new mass technologies.
Radio was the object of scientific investigation, but more
importantly, it was the domain of tinkerers, "hackers," citizen
scientists, and hobbyists. This book shows how this wild and
mysterious technology was appropriated by ordinary individuals in
Germany in the first half of the twentieth century as a leisure
activity. Clubs and hobby organizations became the locus of this
process, providing many of the social structures within which
individuals could come to grips with radio, apart from any media
institution or government framework. In so doing, this book
uncovers the vital but often overlooked social context in which
technological revolutions unfold.
The Accrediting Council of Educators in Journalism and Mass
Communications (ACEJMC) recently added sexual orientation to its
revised diversity standards. This means that journalism schools
seeking accreditation or re-accreditation must develop a curriculum
that fosters an understanding of issues and perspectives that is
inclusive in terms of gender, race, ethnicity - and sexual
orientation. This volume, containing original material written for
this text, is designed to satisfy the requirement by the ACEJMC
that all journalism departments teach sexual diversity. Moving from
description, to analysis, to application, the text includes the
history of media coverage of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender,
and intersex (GLBTI) issues; and coverage of important contemporary
issues in the news, such as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the rise of
GLBTI families, and AIDS. News and Sexuality: Media Portraits of
Diversity is a practical teaching tool that will help educators
meet these new accreditation standards by addressing these complex
and often controversial issues, providing additional resources,
discussion questions, suggested homework assignments, and a
glossary of terms. Student journalists must be equipped to bring a
general knowledge of sexual diversity issues to the table as part
of their professional education repertoire. And any adult who
consumes media messages, whether or not they work in media, also
must be able to spot inaccurate or biased reporting Key Features:
Moves from description, to analysis, to application, putting issues
and episodes into context. All readings are original and written
for this text. Contains student study guides within each chapter
with resources, including Websites, books, and videos. Concludes
each chapter with discussion questions, assignments, and activities
that bring the issues to life for students. Chapter-opening
photographs highlight key historical and contemporary events in
news media coverage of sexual diversity. Includes a style guide
prepared by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association

The last decade has witnessed a clear and steady rise of interest
in consumer culture. Many commentators now argue that consumption
rather than production is the axis of personal identity and
meaningful social action - a standpoint that reverses the
traditional view that consumption is an incidental, trivial feature
in contemporary culture.
This shrewd and probing book seeks to theorize shopping as an
autonomous realm. It avoids the reductionist characteristics of
economics and marketing. At the same time it avoids the moralizing
tone of many contemporary discussions of shopping and consumption.
The book uses an interdisciplinary resource base and comparative
data to build-up a convincing analysis of the meaning of
shopping
Following in the tradition of its popular predecessor, the Manual

This brief presents information on occupational injuries from
electric shock and arc flash events through a review of literature,
electrical incident data, and similar sources. It includes
pertinent information such as the nature of the incident, adherence
to safety requirements, use of appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE), and extent of injury. Chapters address arc flash
and shock hazards, and the need for empirical incident data on the
actual hazards that may be experienced when equipment faults or
adverse electrical events occur. Certain tasks where the risk of an
arc flash or shock hazard may be lower, such as normal operation of
properly installed and maintained equipment, may not require the
use of any special PPE. Some of this risk reduction is based on
anecdotal data, and the brief details why future research
challenges will need more empirical incident data on the actual
hazards and associated injuries that may be experienced when
equipment faults or adverse electrical events occur. Designed for
professionals and researchers in fire protection engineering,
workplace electrical tasks, or workplace safety, this brief offers
a thorough overview of the trends in electrical injuries and the
costs related to those injuries.
This groundbreaking examination of death squads, which exist worldwide, provides a historical perspective of how governments use death squads and how the participation of non-state forces is an extreme instance of the "subcontracting" of tasks characteristic of modern states. Death squads are not simply a product of the Cold War, or of "weak" third-world nations, but are linked to a crisis of the modern state. This collection brings experts from around the world to look at death squads in places such as El Salvador, Weimar Germany, Bosnia, India, Indonesia, Brazil and South Africa.

There has been growing attention paid to urban agriculture
worldwide because of its role in making cities more environmentaly
sustainable while also contributing to enhanced food access and
social justice. This edited volume brings together current research
and case studies concerning urban agriculture from both the Global
North and the Global South. Its objective is to help bridge the
long-standing divide between discussion of urban agriculture in the
Global North and the Global South and to demonstrate that today
there are greater areas of overlap than there are differences both
theoretically and substantively, and that research in either area
can help inform research in the other. The book covers the nature
of urban agriculture and how it supports livelihoods, provides
ecosystem services, and community development. It also considers
urban agriculture and social capital, networks, and
agro-biodiversity conservation. Concepts such as sustainability,
resilience, adaptation and community, and the value of urban
agriculture as a recreational resource are explored. It also
examines, quite fundamentally, why people farm in the city and how
urban agriculture can contribute to more sustainable cities in both
the Global North and the Global South. Key Features: * One of the
first volumes to bring together evidence from urban agriculture in
the Global North and the Global South * Explores the contribution
of urban agriculture to livelihoods, ecosystems and conservation *
Numerous case studies examine a very diverse range of urban
agriculture systems
Archaeology of the Chinese Bronze Age is a synthesis of recent
Chinese archaeological work on the 2nd millennium BCE--the period
associated with China's first dynasties and East Asia's first
"states." Focused on Early China's great metropolitan centers in
the Central Plains and their hinterlands, this work attempts to
contextualize them within their wider zones of interaction from the
Yangtze to the edge of the Mongolian steppe, and from the Yellow
Sea to the Tibetan plateau and the Gansu corridor. This book
critically presents the current state of Chinese archaeology on the
second millennium BCE in a way that brings to English readers the
complexity of Early Chinese culture history, the variety and
development of its urban formations, and the larger context of
Central Plains Civilization. Although employing "Chinese" and
"Bronze Age" in the title for the sake of familiarity, this work
attempts to complicate both terms by showing East Asia's divergent
developmental paths and reexamining its deep past without the
anachronistic lens of later historiography or over-simplistic
evolutionary assumptions. This, it is hoped, will contribute to a
more nuanced basis for understandings of China's Early Bronze
Age.
