The Routledge Handbook of Commercial Space Law provides a
definitive survey of the transitions and adjustments across the
stakeholder community contributing to outer space activities. The
interaction between NewSpace, traditional aerospace industrials,
and non-traditional space-related technologies is driving market
changes which will affect state practice in what has until now been
a government dominated market. Greater private commercial
participation will lead to new economic approaches to risk-sharing
models driven by a space services dominated market. This handbook
is a detailed reference source of original articles which analyse
and critically evaluate the scope of the current paradigm change,
and explain why space contracts and risk apportionment as currently
known will change in tune with ongoing market transitions.
Reference is made to the scope of best practices across various
leading states involved in space activities. With contributions
from a selection of highly regarded and leading scholars and
practitioners in the Commercial Space Law field, and the inclusion
of salient documents, regulatory and contractual documents, the
Routledge Handbook of Commercial Space Law is an essential resource
for students, scholars, and practitioners who are interested in the
field of Commercial Space Law.

Heritage, Labour and the Working Classes is both a celebration
and commemoration of working class culture. It contains sometimes
inspiring accounts of working class communities and people telling
their own stories, and weaves together examples of tangible and
intangible heritage, place, history, memory, music and
literature.
Rather than being framed in a 'social inclusion' framework,
which sees working class culture as a deficit, this book addresses
the question "What is labour and working class heritage, how does
it differ or stand in opposition to dominant ways of understanding
heritage and history, and in what ways is it used as a contemporary
resource?" It also explores how heritage is used in working class
communities and by labour organizations, and considers what
meanings and significance this heritage may have, while also
identifying how and why communities and their heritage have been
excluded. Drawing on new scholarship in heritage studies, social
memory, the public history of labour, and new working class
studies, this volume highlights the heritage of working people,
communities and organizations. Contributions are drawn from a
number of Western countries including the USA, UK, Spain, Sweden,
Australia and New Zealand, and from a range of disciplines
including heritage and museum studies, history, sociology,
politics, archaeology and anthropology.
Heritage, Labour and the Working Classes represents an
innovative and useful resource for heritage and museum
practitioners, students and academics concerned with understanding
community heritage and the debate on social inclusion/exclusion. It
offers new ways of understanding heritage, its values and
consequences, and presents a challenge to dominant and traditional
frameworks for understanding and identifying heritage and heritage
making.
“This book is a must read for those wanting to understand, design
and improve our approach to workforce knowledge in dementia
care.” Paul Edwards, Director of Clinical Services, Dementia UK
“Its person-centred, theory and practice-based approaches to
learning make it an essential book for everyone involved in the
delivery, review and commissioning of dementia education." Dr Anna
Jack-Waugh, Senior Lecturer in Dementia, Senior Fellow HEA,
Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy, and Practice, the University
of the West of Scotland, UK “A relevant, innovative, and
important book that can underpin better education and training in
dementia care.” Jesper Bøgmose, Associate Professor, Cand. Cur.,
Faculty of Health, University College Copenhagen, Denmark In the
last twenty years the evidence-base for how to provide
person-centred care for people with dementia has grown
significantly. Despite this until recently there has been little
evidence as to how to provide training and education for the
dementia workforce. This book provides an evidence-based
practical resource for people intending to develop, deliver,
review, or commission education and training for the dementia
workforce. Throughout, the book: • Considers the
importance of informal routes and mechanisms for workforce
development • Examines the importance of context and setting
conditions for successful implementation of training at individual,
service and organisational level • Contains up-to-date
international research evidence, case studies and vignettes
Education and Training in Dementia Care: A Person-Centred Approach
is an accessible text aimed at all levels of prior experience, from
those studying and working in health and social care services and
private and third sector organisations who are responsible for the
training and development of their staff, to commissioners of
training or those who wish to take advice to inform their practice.

Deserted by his mother and abandoned by his father at just three
months old, Jerry Coyne was sent to live in a Catholic children's
home run by nuns of the order of the Sisters of Nazareth. Life soon
settled into a rhythm and then, one day, the beatings started.
Harsh, vicious punishments became part of everyday life for the
bemused little boy as the nuns attempted to beat the Devil out of
him. Jerry began to hide behind bad behaviour and at the age of 12,
his defiance resulted in him being sent to a boarding school for
boys with behavioural problems. Life then got worse when his
housemaster, the man whose job it was to take care of him, began a
regime of mental, physical and sexual abuse. Years of self-hatred
and guilt led to Jerry suffering from a severe stammer and,
eventually, he tried to hang himself. This was the turning point
and, after finally finding the courage to go to the authorities,
Jerry and numerous other victims came forward and were instrumental
in the conviction and imprisonment of their abuser. Devil's Child
is the devastating true story of a childhood destroyed by abuse and
of a young man's struggle to try to come to terms with the past and
believe in the future.
Cultural Heritage is a new title in the Routledge Major Works
series, Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies. Edited by
Laurajane Smith of the University of York, UK, this four-volume
collection brings together the essential Anglophone literature of
heritage studies. Encompassing both contemporary material and
material of historical significance from the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, the collection is explicitly
interdisciplinary, with research drawn not only from the three
disciplines of archaeology, architecture and history traditionally
associated with material heritage, but also from subjects such as
geography, anthropology, museology, sociology, cultural studies,
performance studies and tourism studies. As an emerging field of
academic enquiry, the sheer scale of the growth in research output
in heritage studies makes this collection especially timely, and
meets the demand for a comprehensive reference work to give greater
clarity and focus to this fast-developing area. Its value also lies
in its bringing together the best scholarship from the various
disciplines that are newly turning their attention to issues
relating to 'heritage', as well as in identifying cultural
heritage's key themes and debates. The first volume ('History and
Concepts') in the collection describes the development of the
modern concern with conserving and preserving material from the
past-often conceptualized as 'heritage'. It also gathers the best
research about the key concepts and principles underlying heritage
management and conservation practices. Volume 2 ('Critical Concepts
in Heritage') traces the dissonant and contested nature of heritage
practices and the various attempts that have been made to theorize
heritage conservation, curation and preservation practices. The
volume contains work on the debates over indigenous heritage,
national identity, and memory and heritage, together with papers
that attempt to explain and contextualize these debates. Volume 3
('Heritage as an Industry') collects the most significant
scholarship on issues about the so-called 'commodification' of the
past and the creation of 'consensual histories', while Volume 4
('Interpretation and Community') contains the key material on the
practice of heritage interpretation and community heritage
projects, as well as work on the developing debates about the
nature of intangible heritage. The collected materials are
supplemented by an introduction to each volume, newly written by
the editor, together with a full index. It is destined to be
welcomed by scholars and teachers of cultural heritage-and those
working in allied disciplines-as an invaluable reference resource.
Emotional Heritage brings the issues of affect and power in the
theorisation of heritage to the fore, whilst also highlighting the
affective and political consequences of heritage-making. Drawing on
interviews with visitors to museums and heritage sites in the
United States, Australia and England, Smith argues that obtaining
insights into how visitors use such sites enables us to understand
the impact and consequences of professional heritage and
museological practices. The concept of registers of engagement is
introduced to assess variations in how visitors use museums and
sites that address national or dissonant histories and the
political consequences of their use. Visitors are revealed as
agents in the roles cultural institutions play in maintaining or
challenging the political and social status quo. Heritage is, Smith
argues, about people and their social situatedness and the meaning
they, alongside or in concert with cultural institutions, make and
mobilise to help them address social problems and expressions of
identity and sense of place in and for the present. Academics,
students and practitioners interested in theories of power and
affect in museums and heritage sites will find Emotional Heritage
to be an invaluable resource. Helping professionals to understand
the potential impact of their practice, the book also provides
insights into the role visitors play in the interplay between
heritage and politics.
This ambitious book offers radical alternatives to conventional
ways of thinking about the planet's most pressing challenges,
ranging from alienation and exploitation to state violence and
environmental injustice. Bridging real-world examples of resistance
and mutual aid in Zapatista territory with big-picture concepts
like critical consciousness, social reproduction and
decolonisation, the authors encourage readers to view themselves as
co-creators of the societies they are a part of - and 'be
Zapatistas wherever they are'. Written by a diverse team of
first-generation authors, this book offers an emancipatory set of
anti-colonial ideas related to both refusing liberal bystanding and
collectively constructing better worlds and realities.
Adolescent rites of passage are ubiquitous sociocultural processes
that feature across all manner of social activity. As transitional
healthcare becomes an increasing fixture within paediatric and
adolescent healthcare, this book captures how normative, biomedical
and psychologised understandings of youth development permeate
social life. Through an in-depth institutional ethnography of a UK
teenage epilepsy clinic, Shelda-Jane Smith shows how the prevailing
social expectation of transforming from a dependent child into an
independent, self-sufficient adult becomes the organising principle
of clinical care. Interrogating the everyday work of the clinic and
the experiences of parental and professional caregivers, Smith
explores how the move from paediatric to adult healthcare gets
renegotiated in the context of severe and profound learning
disabilities, questioning what happens to transitional processes
when young people do not conform to the social standards and
expectations of youthhood that are placed upon them. From exploring
the fervent application of neuro-psychological developmental models
to interrogating expectations of individual independence, Smith
draws from the disciplines of Science and Technology Studies,
Critical Psychology and Disability Studies and Medical Anthropology
to provide an invaluable lens for unpacking the underlying
assumptions and tensions of care provision when young people do not
emerge into adulthood in socially expected ways.
At least 1.1 million people in the UK are affected by an eating
disorder, with people aged 14-25 most at risk. Books about eating
disorders are often quite academic and aimed at the sufferer
themselves. Very little is available for parents of sufferers. Jane
Smith, director of Anorexia Bulimia Care charity has written this
book, in collaboration with Care for the Family to provide
practical advice for parents of eating disorder sufferers. Jane
draws on her own experience of helping her young daughter through
an eating disorder as well as case studies of the many families ABC
has helped over the years . Includes answers to the most frequently
asked questions ABC receives from parents. Supported by Care for
the Family and includes a foreword by Rob Parsons.
