This forward-looking book introduces the concept of Ethical Value
Networks, building upon a theoretical exploration with primary
evidence of their impacts in the Global South. It moves away from
focusing on the consumption section of networks, with grounded
impact studies that explore ethicality as a concept, how ethical
value is created and how this is distributed through the
socio-economy. Framed by theoretical exploration and reflection,
the book offers a selection of case studies from Africa, Latin
America, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia to highlight the
implications of Ethical Value Networks for producers and localities
in the Global South. Chapters further analyse and critique the rise
of the ethical trade and certification schemes, as well as three
ethical trade constellations: social justice through fair trade,
sustainability through organic agriculture, and authenticity
through geographic indications. The in-depth analysis of ethical
trading in wine, coffee, fruit and other key sectors combined with
theoretical study will make this an important read for ethical
trade researchers as well as policy makers and those responsible
for the governance and operation of ethical value networks. It will
also be an invigorating read for economic geography, development
studies, international development and management studies scholars.

How does ideology in some states radicalise to such an extent as to
become genocidal? Can the causes of radicalisation be seen as
internal or external? Examining the ideological evolution in the
Armenian genocide, the Holocaust and during the break up of
Yugoslavia, Elisabeth Hope Murray seeks to answer these questions
in this comparative work.
The economic imperative of sustainable tourism development
frequently shapes life on small subtropical islands. In Okinawa,
ecotourism promises to provide employment for a dwindling
population of rural youth while preserving the natural environment
and bolstering regional pride. Footprints in Paradise explores the
transformation in community and sense of place as Okinawans come to
view themselves through the lens of the visiting tourist consumer,
and as their language, landscapes, and wildlife are reconstituted
as treasured and vulnerable resources. The rediscovery and
revaluing of local ecological knowledge strengthens Okinawan or
Uchinaa cultural heritage, despite the controversial presence of US
military bases amidst a hegemonic Japanese state.
THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS Explore
this innovative new volume covering the growing mental health
crisis amongst healthcare practitioners In The Mental Health and
Wellbeing of Healthcare Practitioners, accomplished researchers and
authors Esther Murray and Jo Brown deliver an insightful
exploration of the theoretical and practical aspects of
implementing mental health improvement within the healthcare system
through a range of practical examples and cases. The book also
explores the possibilities available to professionals to talk about
their mental health using "borrowed" words and concepts, and
uncovers structural and social concerns that prevent practitioners
from accessing the time and space they need to address their mental
health concerns. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of
topics such as: Borrowed words in emergency medicine and how moral
injury makes spaces for talking Finding a voice through medical
student engagement in creative enquiry Using language and discourse
to explore queer identities in medicine Stress and mental wellbeing
in emergency medical dispatchers and paramedics Perfect for
healthcare students, professionals, and researchers in the fields
of medicine, medical education, psychology, and sociology, The
Mental Health and Wellbeing of Healthcare Practitioners will also
earn a place in the libraries of healthcare management
professionals and regulators.

'At school, we believe education should touch the whole child. This
includes the physical, emotional, spiritual, social and cognitive
aspects of the child's life. We teach children quietness as a skill
to reflect and recharge their inner lives. Lorraine Murray helped
us on this journey.' -- Sheila Laing, Head Teacher Stress and
behavioural disorders are common in children, who are increasingly
bombarded by marketing campaigns, faced with school and peer
pressure, and able to sense the stress of adults around them.
Mindfulness and meditation can help children recognise and cope
with these pressures, releasing bad feelings gently and giving them
simple tools to deal with tension and stress throughout their
lives. In this practical and inspiring book, Lorraine Murray shows
parents, teachers and youth workers how to lead fun and peaceful
meditation sessions with children. Lorraine explains a variety of
different approaches, from meditations around daily activities for
busy families, to ideas for group 'quietness' sessions in schools.
She provides fun, tactile rhymes for toddlers to help them calm
down before bedtime, and suggests ways to help teenagers reduce
anxiety. She goes on to explain how these methods can help children
with ADHD and those on the autistic spectrum, giving a range of
case studies. This book is suitable for complete beginners, or
those with some experience of relaxation and meditation techniques.
It offers all the advice needed to lead sessions with children,
whilst encouraging the reader to adapt and develop their own ways
of helping children to feel calmer, happier and more peaceful.

A unique look at the career of a little-known contemporary of Haydn
and Mozart, presented against a fascinating background of court
musical life in late eighteenth-century Germany. Today the
classical style is defined by the music of a handful of composers,
Haydn and Mozart being the most prominent. As a result, the
accomplishments of these masters have all but eclipsed the music of
most of their contemporaries. In this book, Sterling Murray
examines one of the most talented of this group, Antonio Rosetti.
Born around 1750 and trained in Bohemia, Rosetti spent most of his
creative life in Germany, where he served as music director to the
Prince of Oettingen-Wallerstein between 1773 and 1789 and then the
Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin until his death in 1792. The Career of
an Eighteenth-Century Kapellmeister offers the first comprehensive
study of Rosetti's life. The events of the composer's biography are
unfolded against a vivid picture of musical life at the two small
German courts where Rosetti was employed. The second half of the
book is devoted to an examination of formand style in Rosetti's
music, illustrated with full-score musical examples in the text and
on a complementary website. What emerges from this investigation is
a portrait of a composer who, having conquered the stylistic
languageof his day, challenged those conventions to produce
imaginative and highly creative works of great beauty. Sterling E.
Murray is professor emeritus of the School of Music at West Chester
University in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

This book provides an overview of what aid is, how it has changed
over time and how it is practiced, as well as debates about whether
aid works, for whom and what its future might be. The text shows
how 'aid' is a contested and fluid concept that involves a wide and
changing variety of policies, actors and impacts. It equips the
reader with an understanding of what aid is, where it comes from
and where it goes, how it is delivered and what its impacts are,
and whether shortcomings are a result of a fundamental problem with
aid, or merely the result of bad practices. It explores the
changing political ideologies and conceptions of development that
continually reshape how aid is defined, implemented and assessed,
and how, despite a global commitment to the Sustainable Development
Goals, we are at a point where the very notion of aid is being
questioned and its future is uncertain. Each chapter includes case
studies, chapter summaries, discussions, weblinks and further
reading, to help strengthen the reader's understanding. Aid and
Development provides an important resource for students,
development workers and policy makers seeking an understanding of
how aid works.

The purpose of this User's Guide is to provide guidance on modeling
watershed-scale problems associated with decentralized
wastewater-treatment systems (DWTS), with a particular focus on
onsite wastewater systems (OWS). The guide focuses on modeling
transport and fate of the nutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)
because these are the most common OWS constituents of concern, and
because these pollutants are regulated in surface waters (N and P)
and in ground water (N). However, limited but useful information is
also provided regarding the modeling of organic wastewater
contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other
household products. It provides some general information on
modeling bacterial pollutants. The guide can be used by decision
makers to determine whether relatively simple screening models
(presented in Appendix A) are sufficient for use in the
decision-making process, or if sophisticated models (presented in
Appendix B) are more appropriate The document will provide guidance
about the type of model that should be used for particular
scenarios, and the data requirements for model implementation. The
guide is also useful to modeling experts by providing guidance on
important issues such as conceptual-model development,
mathematical-model selection, modelsensitivity analyses, model
uniqueness, and calibration. Finally, the guide provides some
real-world and hypothetical case studies that can demonstrate the
usefulness of using watershed-scale models, and provide templates
for certain common scenarios relevant to the decentralized
wastewater treatment community.
