The images in 'Industrial Scars' and the narrative that accompanies
them tell the story of the impact of the consumer life-style on the
natural systems that support life on the planet. These photographs,
mostly aerial and taken at locations around the world, are
masterworks of composition and colour, made with a nod to the great
abstract painters of modern art. This book is the result of
countless hours of research and careful planning by New York
photographer J. Henry Fair, who travels to the locations and
charters a small plane to photograph areas usually fenced off from
prying eyes so he can get a true view of our real footprint. This
is a new edition.
A narrative guide to help scientists improve their collaboration
techniques and build trusting relationships with their research
teams. The days of scientists conducting solitary inquiries in
isolated labs are effectively over, with most researchers instead
collaborating in cross-functional teams. In addition to mastering
the technical skills necessary in their respective fields,
scientists must now learn strategies for better communication and
relationship building to succeed in reaching increasingly
sophisticated and interdisciplinary research goals. In Scientific
Collaboration, biosecurity researcher and animal disease ecologist
Jeanne M. Fair shares exciting—and occasionally
cringeworthy—stories of scientists working together as an
approachable way to introduce and explain the principles crucial to
effective scientific collaboration. From the global community of
scientists measuring sea ice decline to cooperative private-public
sector investigations of harrowing virus outbreaks, the real-life
experiences provide examples of and insights into how scientists
rise to meet challenges together. Fair highlights principles for
fostering community, integrity, loyalty, communication, and
compassion among teams. Scientists can adopt and apply these
principles to research collaborations to improve communication and
trust among their team members all while working toward the common
goal of discovery. Covering multidisciplinary research teams that
have led to transformational breakthroughs as well as stories of
hurdles and tough lessons learned, Scientific Collaboration
provides a foundation for increasing research productivity while
bringing more fun and joy into the collaborative process. This book
will appeal to any scientists and team leaders who need to function
in this new scientific world, wherein the most important
breakthroughs happen through cooperation, combined effort, and
mutual trust.
This book aims to bring the insights gained through this process to
the public. It not only promotes the idea of fair wealth itself but
also to gives a holistic view on how Chinese based companies are
doing regarding various aspects of Fair Wealth. It also explains
the theory foundation, methodology and rating system to help people
better understand the evaluation system itself.
The first decades of the twentieth century were years of dramatic
change in Zanzibar, a time when the social, economic, and political
lives of island residents were in incredible flux, framed by the
abolition of slavery, the introduction of colonialism, and a tide
of urban migration. "Pastimes and Politics" explores the era from
the perspective of the urban poor, highlighting the numerous and
varied ways that recently freed slaves and other immigrants to town
struggled to improve their individual and collective lives and to
create a sense of community within this new environment. In this
study Laura Fair explores a range of cultural and social practices
that gave expression to slaves' ideas of emancipation, as well as
how such ideas and practices were gendered.
"Pastimes and Politics" examines the ways in which various cultural
practices, including taarab music, dress, football, ethnicity, and
sexuality, changed during the early twentieth century in relation
to islanders' changing social and political identities. Professor
Fair argues that cultural changes were not merely reflections of
social and political transformations. Rather, leisure and popular
culture were critical practices through which the colonized and
former slaves transformed themselves and the society in which they
lived.
Methodologically innovative and clearly written, "Pastimes and
Politics" is accessible to specialists and general readers alike.
It is a book that should find wide use in courses on African
history, urbanization, popular culture, gender studies, or
emancipation.
