Originally published in 1986, this book provides an authoritative
summary of late 20th Century trends which affected housing stock
and a comprehensive commentary on policies which were designed to
improve housing stock. The policies referred to are specific to
England and Wales but the experience is relevant to other countries
facing similar trends: a growth in owner-occupation, increasing
problems of disrepair and low levels of investment in the housing
stock. It will be on interest to those concerned with levels of
investment in older urban areas, with the impact of subsidies on
housing tenure, and with the role of government in controlling
housing quality.
The political crises and upheavals of our age often originate from
the periphery rather than the center of power. Figures like Edward
Snowden, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning acted in ways that
disrupted power, revealing truths that those in power wanted to
keep hidden. They are thorns in the side of power, troublemakers in
the eyes of the powerful, though their actions may be valuable and
lead to positive changes. In this important new book, Dieter Thoma
examines the crucial but often overlooked function of these figures
on the margins of society, developing a philosophy of troublemakers
from the seventeenth century to the present day. Thoma takes as his
starting point Hobbes's idea of the puer robustus (literally "stout
boy"), meaning a figure who rebels against order and authority.
While Hobbes saw the puer robustus as a threat, he also recognized
the potential, in the right conditions, for figures to rise up and
become agents of positive change. Building on this notion, Thoma
provides a rich survey of intellectuals who have been inspired by
this idea over the past 300 years, from Rousseau, Diderot,
Schiller, Victor Hugo, Marx, and Freud to Carl Schmitt, Leo
Strauss, and Horkheimer, right up to the recent work of Badiou and
Agamben. In doing so, he develops a typology of the puer robustus
and a means by which we can evaluate and assess the troublemakers
of our own times. Thoma shows that troublemakers are an inescapable
part of modernity, for as soon as social and political boundaries
are defined, there will always be figures challenging them from the
margins. This book will be of great interest not only to students
and scholars in the humanities and social sciences but to anyone
seeking to understand the crucial impact of these liminal figures
on our world today.
Catalysis for Sustainability: Goals, Challenges, and Impacts
explores the intersection between catalytic science and sustainable
technologies as a means to addressing current economic, social, and
environmental problems. These problems include harnessing
alternative energy sources, pollution prevention and remediation,
and the manufacturing of commodity products. The book describes the
nature of catalysis regarding sustainability and presents
challenges to accomplishing sustainability as well as the
significance of proven or potential success. The contributors have
backgrounds in academia and industry to create a more integrated
picture of the issues involving sustainability and catalysis. Broad
in scope, the book covers topics such as traditional metal-mediated
catalysis, organocatalysis, biocatalysis, biomimicry, and
heterogeneous catalysis. It includes chapters dedicated to specific
research areas of catalysis as they pertain to their effectiveness,
their economic and environmental benefits, and the challenges
researchers face in actualizing solutions. It also contains a
chapter on the application of life cycle analysis to catalytic
processes, demonstrating the need to holistically consider the
sustainable impacts of a process. The book can be read in a
straightforward fashion or skimmed without forfeiting understanding
of the narrative on the strategies and intentions of research and
development. Throughout the book the requirements of sustainability
are measured by the triple bottom line of environmental, economic,
and social impacts. It highlights real-world implementations of
catalytic processes in drug development, manufacturing, polymers,
and energy. Catalysis for Sustainability: Goals, Challenges, and
Impacts is a strong and versatile text. It provides an introduction
to the field and the issues with which it is concerned, as well as
a detailed and far-reaching discussion on current achievements and
future progress.

New essays on Chaucer's engagement with religion and the religious
controversies of the fourteenth century. How do critics, religious
scholars and historians in the early twenty-first century view
Chaucer's relationship to religion? And how can he be taught and
studied in an increasingly secular and multi-cultural environment?
The essays here, on [the Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde,
lyrics and dream poems, aim to provide an orientation on the study
of the the religions, the religious traditions and the religious
controversies of his era - and to offer new perspectives upon them.
Using a variety of theoretical, critical and historical approaches,
they deal with topics that include Chaucer in relation to lollardy,
devotion to the saint and the Virgin Mary, Judaism andIslam, and
the Bible; attitudes towards sex, marriage and love; ethics, both
Christian and secular; ideas on death and the Judgement; Chaucer's
handling of religious genres such as hagiography and miracles, as
well as other literary traditions - romance, ballade, dream poetry,
fablliaux and the middle ages' classical inheritance - which pose
challenges to religious world views. These are complemented by
discussion of a range of issues related to teachingChaucer in
Britain and America today, drawn from practical experience.

A mature poet, Larry Thomas has an extraordinary gift which has
evolved through decades at his craft. Thomas explores the natural
world of Texas - its animal icons like the Hereford or hawk or
rattlesnake, the larger-than-life geography, which is the stuff out
of which legends are made.Thomas captures the spirit of place
within larger truths that ""travel well,"" as editor Billy Bob Hill
explains in his introduction. Hill also takes careful note of the
poet's deft alliteration and just-right compression of language as
he urges readers to enjoy Thomas' poems for their Texas elements
but also the worldly art therein.

This book is about the ways in which two western European countries
attempt to cope with the changing demands of urban development. In
particular, it is con cerned with the differences in approach of
the Dutch and English planning systems and the contrasting ways in
which they are used to guide, promote and control development. The
book results from a research study in which members of staff at
Delft of Technology and Oxford Polytechnic compared local planning
and University development in the Netherlands and England. The aim
was to investigate ways in which development was promoted and
controlled under different planning systems. The research was
subsequently developed along two converging lines. One was an
examination of over twenty case studies of plan making and the con
trol of development in the cities of Leiden and Oxford. The other
was a study of the two planning systems and the ways in which the
respective approaches to planning were seen to relate closely to
the contrasting legal and administrative systems and differences in
development practice. The convergence of the two lines of enquiry
produced a tension between empirical observations and theoretical
supposition which led to a fruitful development of ideas about the
nature of the two planning systems and how they promote and control
develop ment."
Drawing is a language, projected by children and adults, reflecting
their joy and pain. It is used extensively by clinical
psychologists, art therapists, social workers, and other mental
health professionals in the assessment and treatment of children,
adolescents, adults, and couples. This book brings together a
renowned group of professionals to analyze the research and
application of the most popular assessment and treatment tools.
Tests discussed include the Draw-a-Person Test, the
House-Tree-Person Test, the Kinetic Family Drawing Test, the Art
Therapy-Projective Imagery Assessment, and the Wartegg Drawing
Completion Test. Working with sexually and physically abused
children, assessing clients with anorexia nervosa, and the
influence of osteopathic treatment on drawings are some of the
special topics considered. Numerous case studies are also included.
Essays examining the genre of medieval romance in its cultural
Christian context, bringing out its chameleon-like character. The
relationship between the Christianity of medieval culture and its
most characteristic narrative, the romance, is complex and the
modern reading of it is too often confused. Not only can it be
difficult to negotiate the distant, sometimes alien concepts of
religious cultures of past centuries in a modern, secular,
multi-cultural society, but there is no straightforward Christian
context of Middle English romance - or of medieval romance in
general, although this volume focuses on the romances of England.
Medieval audiences had apparently very different expectations and
demands of their entertainment: some looking for, and evidently
finding, moral exempla and analogues of biblical narratives, others
secular, even sensational, entertainment of a type condemned by
moralising voices. The essays collected here show how the romances
of medieval England engage with its Christian culture. Topics
include the handling of material from pre-Christian cultures,
classical and Celtic, the effect of the Crusades, the meaning of
chivalry, and the place of women in pious romances. Case studies,
including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Malory's Morte
Darthur, offer new readings and ideas for teaching romance to
contemporary students. They do not present a single view of a
complex situation, but demonstrate the importance of reading
romances with anawareness of the knowledge and cultural capital
represented by Christianity for its original writers and audiences.

In Marx's Laboratory provides a critical analysis of the Grundrisse
- Marx's unfinished manuscript - as a crucial stage in the
development of Marx's critique of political economy. Stressing both
the achievements and limitations of this much-debated text, and
drawing upon recent philological advances, this volume attempts to
re-read Marx's 1857-58 manuscripts against the background of
Capital, as a 'laboratory' in which Marx first began to clarify
central elements of his mature problematic.
