Economic development is intended to benefit everyone in a
community, however, in many cases, increased public and private
investment can result in the pricing out and displacement of
existing residents and businesses. How do we achieve more equitable
outcomes? The Equity Planner provides a toolkit of practical
solutions for planners and all those involved in placemaking to
promote thoughtful, inclusive planning. Each chapter of The Equity
Planner examines one particular aspect of inequity in the urban
planning sphere, covering issues such as identity retention,
affordability, and the protection and enhancement of local assets.
While each chapter offers practicable solutions to these issues,
the 'Notes from the Field' sections describe how these same tools
have been used (either successfully or unsuccessfully) in projects
the author has been involved in, with a particular focus on the
local resistance each project encountered. These real-world case
studies are used to suggest methods to overcome such resistance,
which the reader can then apply to their present initiatives. This
book is written for urban planners, local activists, social
scientists, policy makers, and anyone with an interest in equity
planning. This book will be of use to both practicing and training
urban planners and architects who seek to add equity planning to
their professional repertoire.

The Climate Planner is about overcoming the objections to climate
change mitigation and adaption that urban planners face at a local
level. It shows how to draft climate plans that encounter less
resistance because they involve the public, stakeholders, and
decisionmakers in a way that builds trust, creates consensus, and
leads to implementation. Although focused on the local level, this
book discusses climate basics such as carbon dioxide levels in the
atmosphere, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the
Paris Agreement of 2015, worldwide energy generation forecasts, and
other items of global concern in order to familiarize urban
planners and citizen planners with key concepts that they will need
to know in order to be able to host climate conversations at the
local level. The many case studies from around the United States of
America show how communities have encountered pushback and bridged
the implementation gap, the gap between plan and reality, thanks to
a commitment to substantive public engagement. The book is written
for urban planners, local activists, journalists, elected or
appointed representatives, and the average citizen worried about
climate breakdown and interested in working to reshape the built
environment.
Fred Rogers was an international celebrity. He was a pioneer in
children's television, an advocate for families, and a multimedia
artist and performer. He wrote the television scripts and music,
performed puppetry, sang, hosted, and directed Mister Rogers'
Neighborhood for more than thirty years. In his almost nine-hundred
episodes, Rogers pursued dramatic topics: divorce, death, war,
sibling rivalry, disabilities, racism. Rogers' direct, slow,
gentle, and empathic approach is supported by his superior
emotional strength, his intellectual and creative courage, and his
joyful spiritual confidence. The Green Mister Rogers:
Environmentalism in "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" centers on the
show's environmentalism, primarily expressed through his themed
week "Caring for the Environment," produced in 1990 in coordination
with the twentieth anniversary of Earth Day. Unfolding against a
trash catastrophe in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Rogers
advances an environmentalism for children that secures children in
their family homes while extending their perspective to faraway
places, from the local recycling center to Florida's coral reef.
Rogers depicts animal wisdom and uses puppets to voice anxiety and
hope and shows an interconnected world where each part of creation
is valued, and love is circulated in networks of care. Ultimately,
Rogers cultivates a practical wisdom that provides a way for
children to confront the environmental crisis through action and
hope and, in doing so, develop into adults who possess greater care
for the environment and a capacious imagination for solving the
ecological problems we face.

Irish Global Migration and Memory: Transnational Perspectives of
Ireland's Famine Exodus brings together leading scholars in the
field who examine the experiences and recollections of Irish
emigrants who fled from their famine-stricken homeland in the
mid-nineteenth century. The book breaks new ground in its
comparative, transnational approach and singular focus on the
dynamics of cultural remembrance of one migrant group, the Famine
Irish and their descendants, in multiple Atlantic and Pacific
settings. Its authors comparatively examine the collective
experiences of the Famine Irish in terms of their community and
institution building; cultural, ethnic, and racial encounters with
members of other groups; and especially their patterns of
mass-migration, integration, and remembrance of their traumatic
upheaval by their descendants and host societies. The disruptive
impact of their mass-arrival had reverberations around the Atlantic
world. As an early refugee movement, migrant community, and ethnic
minority, Irish Famine emigrants experienced and were recollected
to have faced many of the challenges that confronted later
immigrant groups in their destinations of settlement. This book is
especially topical and will be of interest not only to Irish,
migration, and refugee scholars, but also the general public and
all who seek to gain insight into one of Europe's foundational
moments of forced migration that prefigures its current refugee
crisis. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Atlantic Studies: Global Currents.
This book is the first edited collection to respond to an
undeniable resurgence of critical activity around the controversial
theoretical term 'interculturalism' in theatre and performance
studies. Long one of the field's most vigorously debated concepts,
intercultural performance has typically referred to the hybrid
mixture of performance forms from different cultures (typically
divided along an East-West or North-South axis) and its related
practices frequently charged with appropriation, exploitation or
ill-founded universalism. New critical approaches since the late
2000s and early 2010s instead reveal a plethora of localized,
grassroots, diasporic and historical approaches to the theory and
practice of intercultural performance which make available novel
critical and political possibilities for performance practitioners
and scholars. This collection consolidates and pushes forward
reflection on these recent shifts by offering case studies from
Asia, Africa, Australasia, Latin America, North America, and
Western Europe which debate the possibilities and limitations of
this theoretical turn towards a 'new' interculturalism.

The Great Irish Famine remains one of the most lethal famines in
modern world history and a watershed moment in the development of
modern Ireland - socially, politically, demographically and
culturally. In the space of only four years, Ireland lost
twenty-five per cent of its population as a consequence of
starvation, disease and large-scale emigration. Certain aspects of
the Famine remain contested and controversial, for example the
issue of the British government's culpability, proselytism, and the
reception of emigrants. However, recent historiographical focus on
this famine has overshadowed the impact of other periods of
subsistence crisis, both before 1845 and after 1852. The narratives
of those who perished, those who survived and those who emigrated
form an integral part of this history and these volumes will make
available, for the first time, some of the original documentation
relating to an event that changed not only Irish history, but the
history of the countries to which the emigrants fled - Britain, the
United States, Canada and Australia. By bringing together letters,
government reports, diaries, official documents, pamphlets,
newspaper articles, sermons, eye-witness testimonies, poems and
novels, these volumes will provide a fresh way of understanding
Irish history in general, and famine and migration in particular.
Comprehensive editorial apparatus and annotation of the original
texts are included along with bibliographies, appendices,
chronologies and indexes that point the way for further study.
The Famine Diaspora and Irish American Women’s Writing considers
the works of eleven North American female authors who wrote for or
descended from the Irish Famine generation: Anna Dorsey, Christine
Faber, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Mother Jones, Kate Kennedy, Margaret
Dixon McDougall, Mary Meaney, Alice Nolan, Fanny Parnell, Mary Anne
Sadlier, and Elizabeth Hely Walshe. This collection examines the
ways the writings of these women contributed significantly to the
construction of Irish North-American identities, and played a
crucial role in the dissemination of Famine memories
transgenerationally as well as transnationally. The included
annotated excerpts from these women writers’ works and the
accompanying essays by prominent international scholars offer
insights on the sociopolitical position of the Irish in North
America, their connections with the homeland, women’s activities
in transnational (often Catholic) publishing networks and women
writers’ mediation of Ireland’s cultural heritage. Furthermore,
the volume illustrates the generic variety of Irish American
women’s writing of the Famine generation, which comprises
political treatises, novels, short stories and poetry, and bears
witness to these female authors’ profound engagement with
political and social issues, such as the conditions of the poor and
woman’s vote. Â

breaks new ground in bringing together foundational narratives of
one of Europe and North America's first refugee crises - making
visible their impact in shaping perceptions, public opinion, and
patterns of memorialization of Irish forced migration. It documents
eyewitness impressions of suffering Irish emigrants, and raises
questions about what literary conventions, mnemonic motifs, and
popular images can be found in eyewitness accounts, press coverage,
and foundational narratives of Famine Irish forced migration. These
primary sources provide a model for understanding how
representations of forced migration shape public opinion and
policy.

The heroics and humanitarian contributions of those who came to the
aid of their fellow men and women during the Great Hunger of 1845
and 1852 has been largely ignored and forgotten until recently.
Many of the neglected heroes were prepared to put their lives on
the line and, in a number of instances, suffered permanent health
damage in coming to the aid of the starving and diseased. They
include landlords, poets, clergymen and philanthropists. This
volume follows on from the collection of essays on Famine Heroes
and shows that there were many who were on the front line in coming
to the assistance of their fellow man during this period of
large-scale emigration, starvation and death. At a time when the
world continues to deal with the horrors and legacies of the COVID
pandemic with many front line workers putting their lives at risk,
the heroics of those who gave their time, energy and resources-and
lives-during the calamity of the Great Hunger is recorded and
acknowledged in this collection. This edited collection is a follow
up to Heroes of Ireland's Great Hunger (2021)
Develop Network Infrastructure More Rapidly, and Operate It More
Effectively Using model-driven DevOps and the Infrastructure as
Code (IaC) paradigm, teams can develop and operate network
infrastructure more quickly, consistently, and securely--growing
agility, getting to market sooner, and delivering more value. Now,
two leading practitioners walk you step by step through
successfully implementing model-driven DevOps for infrastructure.
In this practical guide, they share lessons learned, help you avoid
common pitfalls, and illuminate key differences between DevOps for
infrastructure and conventional application-based DevOps. You'll
learn why network infrastructure operations must change, what needs
to change, and how to work together to change it. The authors guide
you through creating consistent data models to manage massive
numbers of network elements, organizing huge quantities of network
data, and applying DevOps to infrastructure repeatably and
consistently. Your journey includes a complete, hands-on reference
implementation, detailed use cases, many examples based on open
source tools, and sample code downloadable at GitHub. * Normalize
and organize network infrastructure data consistently, to gain the
same benefits from DevOps as cloud operators do * Replace legacy
command lines with APIs, then leverage and scale them * Use
configuration management, templates, and other tools to program
infrastructure without coding * Safely implement Continuous
Integration/Continuous Deployment for infrastructure * Succeed with
key human factors: break down silos, change culture, and address
skills gaps Whether you're a network or cybersecurity engineer,
architect, manager, or leader, this guide will help you suffuse all
your network operations with greater efficiency, security,
responsiveness, and resilience.
