This book includes contributions from academics, artists and heritage practitioners, the volume explores decolonial heritage practices in politics, contemporary history, diplomacy, museum practice, the visual arts and self-generated memorial expressions in public spaces. The comparative focus of the chapters includes examples of internal colonization in Europe and extends to former European colonies, among them Shanghai, Cape Town, and Rio de Janeiro. Examining practices in a range of different contexts, the book pays particular attention to sub-national actors whose work is opening up new futures through their engagement with decolonial heritage practices in the present. The volume also considers the challenges posed by applying decolonial thinking to existing understandings of colonial heritage. This book examines the role of colonial heritage in European memory politics and heritage diplomacy. It will be of interest to academics and students working in the fields of heritage and memory studies, colonial and imperial history, European studies, sociology, cultural studies, development studies, museum studies, and contemporary art.

This book presents and describes an innovative method to simulate the growth of natural fractural networks in different geological environments, based on their geological history and fundamental geomechanical principles. The book develops techniques to simulate the growth and interaction of large populations of layer-bound fracture directly, based on linear elastic fracture mechanics and subcritical propagation theory. It demonstrates how to use these techniques to model the nucleation, propagation and interaction of layer-bound fractures in different orientations around large scale geological structures, based on the geological history of the structures. It also explains how to use these techniques to build more accurate discrete fracture network (DFN) models at a reasonable computational cost. These models can explain many of the properties of natural fracture networks observed in outcrops, using actual outcrop examples. Finally, the book demonstrates how it can be incorporated into flow modelling workflows using subsurface examples from the hydrocarbon and geothermal industries. Modelling the Evolution of Natural Fracture Networks will be of interest to anyone curious about understanding and predicting the evolution of complex natural fracture networks across large geological structures. It will be helpful to those modelling fluid flow through fractures, or the geomechanical impact of fracture networks, in the hydrocarbon, geothermal, CO2 sequestration, groundwater and engineering industries.

This pocket-sized guide describes car tours, picnic places and walks throughout south-central Andalucia: the Alpujarra, Granada and the Sierra Nevada, the Axarquia, Antequera and the Torcal Natural Park, the El Chorro Nature Reserve, the Sierra de Mijas, Sierra de las Nieves, Ronda and the Sierra de Grazalema.------------------- It captures the very essence of this most evocative part of Spain. An ever-changing landscape awaits your discovery whether you are driving or walking - from the 'white villages' and ancient towns to the never-ending sierras, razor-sharp gorges and gentle verdant valleys.---------------All the tours and walks are easily accessed from the popular Costa del Sol resorts. Since many people will explore Andalucia by car, most of the walks are circular. But for those without a car, there are timetables for local transport. The guide includes fold-out touring maps and large-scale (1:50,000) topographical walking maps.------------7 car tours, 40 long and short walks, 23 picnic suggestions. Plan of Marbella. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher's website, maintained daily.- --------------The 'Landscapes' series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower coming third out of a field of 15 publishers in the 2014 Holiday Which? travel guide roundup.-------------The lowdown on how to get the best out of ...the countryside. (Sunday Times)-------------The guide covers areas up to two hours' drive both north and south of Malaga. We spent a week in Competa, one hour northwest of Malaga, and used the guide for touring and walks. The car tours are easy to follow and informative. The walking details are excellent (Peter M, Amazon) --------------- Indispensable for a first visit...Without the book I would never have found these [walks] (GW, Amazon)
