The volume gathers theoretical contributions on human rights and
global justice in the context of international migration. It
addresses the need to reconsider human rights and the theories of
justice in connection with the transformation of the social frames
of reference that international migrations foster. The main goal of
this collective volume is to analyze and propose principles of
justice that serve to address two main challenges connected to
international migrations that are analytically differentiable
although inextricably linked in normative terms: to better
distribute the finite resources of the planet among all its
inhabitants; and to ensure the recognition of human rights in
current migration policies. Due to the very nature of the debate on
global justice and the implementation of human rights and migration
policies, this interdisciplinary volume aims at transcending the
academic sphere and appeals to a large public through argumentative
reflections. Challenging the Borders of Justice in the Age of
Migrations represents a fresh and timely contribution. In a time
when national interests are structurally overvalued and borders
increasingly strengthened, it's a breath of fresh air to read a
book in which migration flows are not changed into a threat. We
simply cannot understand the world around us through the lens of
the 'migration crisis'-a message the authors of this book have
perfectly understood. Aimed at a strong link between theories of
global justice and policies of border control, this timely book
combines the normative and empirical to deeply question the way our
territorial boundaries are justified. Professor Ronald Tinnevelt,
Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands This book is essential
reading for those frustrated by the limitations of the dominant
ways of thinking about global justice especially in relation to
migration. By bringing together discussions of global justice,
cosmopolitan political theory and migration, this collection of
essays has the potential to transform the way in which we think and
debate the critical issues of membership and movement. Together
they present a critical interdisciplinary approach to international
migration, human rights and global justice, challenging
disciplinary borders as well as political ones. Professor Phil
Cole, University of the West of England, UK
This edited collection presents state-of-the-art reviews of the
latest developments in multisensory packaging design. Bringing
together leading researchers and practitioners working in the
field, the contributions consider how our growing understanding of
the human senses, as well as new technologies, will transform the
way in which we design, interact with, and experience food and
beverage, home and personal care, and fast-moving consumer products
packaging. Spanning all of the senses from colour meaning, imagery
and font, touch and sonic packaging, a new framework for
multisensory packaging analysis is outlined. Including a number of
case studies and examples, this book provides both practical
application and theoretical discussion to appeal to students,
researchers, and practitioners alike.
Most of our everyday life experiences are multisensory in nature;
that is, they consist of what we see, hear, feel, taste, smell, and
much more. Almost any experience you can think of, such as eating a
meal or going to the cinema, involves a magnificent sensory world.
In recent years, many of these experiences have been increasingly
transformed and capitalised on through advancements that adapt the
world around us - through technology, products, and services - to
suit our ever more computerised environment. Multisensory
Experiences: Where the senses meet technology looks at this trend
and offers a comprehensive introduction to the dynamic world of
multisensory experiences and design. It takes the reader from the
fundamentals of multisensory experiences, through the relationship
between the senses and technology, to finally what the future of
those experiences may look like, and our responsibility in it. This
book empowers you to shape your own and other people's experiences
by considering the multisensory worlds that we live in through a
journey that marries science and practice. It also shows how we can
take advantage of the senses and how they shape our experiences
through intelligent technological design.
