Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In
draws parallels between two of the most significant practitioners
in the history of photography, presenting fresh research, rare
vintage prints, and previously unseen archival works. 'I feel that
photographs can either document and record reality or they can
offer images as an alternative to everyday life: places for the
viewer to dream in.' – Francesca Woodman, 1980 Living and working
over a century apart, Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) and
Francesca Woodman (1958–1981) experienced very different ways of
making and understanding photographs. Francesca Woodman and Julia
Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In accompanies the exhibition
of the same name opening at the National Portrait Gallery, London,
in March 2024. Spanning the careers of both artists, the
beautifully illustrated catalogue includes their best-known
photographs as well as less familiar images. The exhibition works
are arranged into eight thematic sections with feature essays,
offering an accessible, engaging opportunity to consider both
artists in a new light. This publication presents the artists’
exploration of portraiture as a ‘dream space’. It makes new
connections between their work, which pushed the boundaries of the
photographic medium and experimented with ideas of beauty,
symbolism, transformation and storytelling to produce some of art
history’s most compelling and admired photographs. Image caption:

The only gluten-free baking book you'll ever need, with delicious recipes that work perfectly every time.
From proper crusty bread, pillowy soft cinnamon rolls and glorious layered cakes to fudgy brownies, incredibly flaky rough puff pastry and delicate patisserie – everything that once seemed impossible to make gluten-free can now be baked by you.
Baked to Perfection begins with a thorough look at the gluten-free baking basics: how different gluten-free flours behave, which store-bought blends work best, and how to mix your own to suit your needs. Covering cakes, brownies, cookies, pastry and bread in turn, Katarina shares the best techniques for the recipes in that chapter, and each recipe is accompanied by expert tips, useful scientific explanations and occasional step-by-step photography to help you achieve gluten-free perfection.
Recipes include classic bakes like super-moist chocolate cake, caramel apple pie and chocolate chip cookies, the softest, chewiest bread, including crusty artisan loaves, baguettes, brioche burger buns and soda bread, and mouth-watering showstoppers like toasted marshmallow brownies, coffee cream puffs and strawberries + cream tart.
How do some language learners triumph against all odds, despite not
having obvious heritage links or spending extended periods of time
in the L2 environment pre-adulthood? This book delves into the
autobiographical stories of learners who achieve nativelike
proficiency, opening a narrative window into their experiences and
offering insights into their pathways to success. The in-depth
analysis ties together a wide range of potentially relevant topics,
from motivational vision and international posture to issues of
identity, endurance and even musical ability, among other themes.
The authors explore whether these successes can be repeated by
others and the book will be of use to language teachers interested
in learner motivation and the antecedents to high-level ultimate
attainment. The book will also be of great interest to researchers
working in the areas of language learner psychology, especially in
topics concerning language learning motivation, identity and
narrative inquiry.

The use of economic theory and economic evidence in competition
cases, their appropriate interpretation, meaning, impact,
usefulness and validity are among the most challenging issues that
judges and legal practitioners are facing in their daily
decision-making. Notorious questions of, for example, how courts,
practitioners and other decision-making bodies should employ
economic evidence and what weight (and credibility) should be
attached to such evidence where different experts offer different
suggestions are among the most complex ones. This book, while
addressing such questions, provides tools for judges, scholars and
legal practitioners to employ economic evidence in a more
effective, optimal and predictable way so as to overcome the
identified, EU-wide obstacles in enforcing current EU competition
law.This edited volume addresses the importance, implications,
practices, problems and the role of economic evidence in EU
competition law. It includes contributions on the use of the
economic approach in the application and enforcement of EU
competition law in different EU countries, candidate member states
and third countries. The book features scholars who are experts in
the field of competition law and economics as well as several of
the most prominent European judges who provide first-hand
information on the use of economic evidence in practice. The book
is not limited to a particular subfield of competition law, but
covers the area of competition law at large, including state aid.
This reflects the fact that also the European Commission has
gradually expanded the application of the economic approach to all
areas of competition law.
This collection of in-depth case studies emphasizes the diversity
and inventiveness of local initiatives since the Rio 'Earth Summit'
within different national settings. From the Earth Summit to Local
Agenda 21offers a realistic counterpoint to the official monitoring
and assessment procedures of national governments and international
bodies. It highlights the problems of assessment and policy
evaluation and clearly sets out the policy stages necessary for
more effective realization of Local Agenda 21 objectives.
This book makes the case that school Health and Physical Education
(HPE) can make a unique contribution to young people's physical,
emotional and social health outcomes when teachers of HPE engage in
pedagogies for social justice that emphasise inclusion, democracy
and equity. Drawing on observations and teacher interviews across
Sweden, Norway and New Zealand, the book explores successful school
teaching practices that promote social justice and equitable health
outcomes. In particular, it draws attention to the importance of
building relationships, teaching for social cohesion and explicitly
teaching about and acting on social inequities as pedagogies for
social justice. The book also argues that context matters and that
pedagogies for social justice need to recognise how both approaches
to, and focus on, social justice vary in different contexts. This
is essential reading for academics and students interested in
social justice and working in the fields of education, HPE and
teacher education.
This is a book for all who are interested in organizational
management philosophy or control practices as the book offers new
ways of understanding the dynamics of management. By employing
multiple theoretical and methodological perspectives the book
provides refreshing and engaging analyses of beyond budgeting and
different forms of control. This book will be a source of
inspiration for researchers and practitioners by given reasoning
and ideas for better understanding of the dynamics, mysteries and
paradoxes of control in contemporary organizations.' - Frode
Mellemvik, University of Nordland, NorwayThis timely and innovative
book focuses on budgeting control and ongoing beyond budgeting
trends and its consequences for the organization. Ensuring an
optimal balance between individual autonomy and management control
is a critical challenge for organizations operating in dynamic
business environments. Too much of the former leads to chaos, and
too much of the latter guarantees rigidity. This book explores the
tensions that arise in seeking the best possible balance between
these two dimensions. Resolving these tensions is a critical
challenge for achieving competitiveness. In order to examine
budgeting control and ongoing 'beyond budgeting', the book's
starting point is the Beyond Budgeting movement and what it implies
for a new approach to autonomy and management control. This
discussion is further supplemented with a broader approach to the
issue of control that spans issues such as self-control, time
control, transparency as control, ethical control and cultural
control. This book's innovative and explorative approach will be of
interest to students at master level, scholars and senior and
middle-level managers. HR departments will find it instrumental to
their work and practice. Contributors: S.D. Becker, T. Bjornenak,

In the modern globalized world of work, society's capitalist and
patriarchal norms perpetuate old and create new differences based
on gender, class, ethnicity, age, and other social categorizations.
This book proposes a novel conceptual framework offering
theoretical and methodological insights for thinking through the
present and future inequality challenges in the globalized world of
work and working life issues in the context of spatio-temporal
relations. Bringing together global feminist studies of
intersectionality and transnationalism, work-life research, and
studies of space, place, and identity, this edited collection
responds to the growing interest in peripheries, rurality, and
other spaces beyond the urban and business market centres. In
crossing the theoretical boundaries between intersectionality and
peripherality, this volume brings these concepts together to
identify how racism, capitalism and heteropatriarchy operate on
bodies in the name of work, particularly as expressed in precarious
labour conditions. It also advocates for transnational solidarity
as part of feminist ethics, while providing an opportunity to
reflect on ways forward for feminist intersectional studies of work
and working life, drawing on embodied relationality and a feminist
ethics of care. Working Life and Gender Inequality explores the
intersectional nature of gender, class, race and other inequalities
from a global and spatial perspective. It will be of value to
researchers, academics, students, managers, consultants, and policy
makers in the fields of organizational studies, leadership,
feminist and gender studies, working life, intersectionality and
transnational feminism.

Scientists have long been looking for alternative methods for the
cleaning of historical and cultural museum objects as conventional
methods often fail to completely remove surface films, leaving
contamination and surface residues behind. Low-temperature plasmas
have recently been found to provide a new, efficient and durable
approach that maintains the safety of both the materials and
personnel. This book is the first to introduce the emerging use of
low-temperature plasmas in the cleaning and decontamination of
cultural heritage items. It provides a comprehensive exploration of
the new possibilities of cleaning objects with plasma, before
providing a practice guide to the individual cleaning methods and
an overview of the technologies and conditions used in the
different cleaning regimes. It is an ideal reference for
researchers in plasma physics, in addition to professionals working
in the field of historical and cultural conservation. Features:
Provides a thorough overview of the cleaning potential of emerging
plasma technologies in accessible language for professional
restorers and conservators without a scientific background Includes
the latest case studies from the field, which have not been
published elsewhere yet Authored by a team of experts in the field

The European Court of Human Rights ("ECtHR") suffers from the
burgeoning caseload and challenges to its authority. This
two-pronged crisis undermines the ECtHR's legitimacy and
consequently the functioning of the whole European human rights
regime. Domestic courts can serve as welcome allies of the
Strasbourg Court. They have a potential to diffuse Convention norms
domestically, and therefore prevent and filter many potential human
rights violations. Yet, we know very little about how domestic
courts actually treat the Strasbourg Court's rulings. This book
brings unique empirical findings on how often, how and with what
consequences domestic judges work with the ECtHR's case law. It
moves beyond the narrow concept of compliance and develops a new
three-level methodology for analysing the role played by domestic
courts in the implementation of ECtHR case law. Moreover, using the
example of Czechia, it shifts the attention from Western countries
to a more volatile Central and Eastern European region, which has
recently witnessed democratic backsliding and backlash against
international checks on human rights and the rule of law standards.
Looking at a wider social and legal context, this book identifies
factors helping transitional countries to adapt to regional human
rights regimes. The work will be an essential resource for
students, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of
Constitutional law, Politics and Human Rights law. Its global
appeal is enhanced by the methodological framework which is
applicable in other international systems.

administrative activities in today's working life is driven not
only by pressure from above, but also from below. The authors
examine the inner dynamics of people-processing organizations-those
formally working for clients, patients, or students-to uncover the
hidden attractions of doing administrative work, despite all the
complaints and laments about "too many meetings" or "too much
paperwork." There is something appealing to those compelled to
participate in today's constantly multiplying and expanding
administration that defies popular framings of it as merely
pressure from above. Hidden Attractions of Administration shows in
detail the emotional attractiveness, moral conflicts, and almost
magical features that administrative tasks often entail in today's
organizations, supported by ethnographic studies consisting of over
200 qualitative interviews and participant observations from ten
organizational settings and contexts across Sweden. The authors
also question and complement explanations in administration-related
research that have previously been taken for granted, arguing that
it is a simplification to attribute all aspects of the change to
New Public Management and instead taking into account what the
classic sociologist Georg Simmel called an Eigendynamik: a
self-reinforcing tendency that, under certain circumstances, needs
only a nudge in an administrative direction to get going. By
applying ethnography to issues of bureaucratization and meeting
cultures and by drawing on findings in emotional sociology and
social anthropology, this volume contributes to both the sociology
of work and the study of human service organizations and will
appeal to scholars and students working across both areas.
How are different concepts of nature and time embedded into human
practices of landscape and environmental management? And how can
temporalities that entwine past, present and future help us deal
with challenges on the ground? In a time of uncertainty and climate
change, how much can we hold onto ideals of nature rooted in a
pristine and stable past? The Scandinavian and Australian
perspectives in this book throw fresh light on these questions and
explore new possibilities and challenges in uncertain and changing
landscapes of the future. This book presents examples from farmers,
gardens and Indigenous communities, among others, and shows that
many people and communities are already actively engaging with
environmental change and uncertainty. The book is structured around
four themes; environmental futures, mobile natures, indigenous and
colonial legacies, heritage and management. Part I includes
important contributions towards contemporary environmental
management debates, yet the chapters in this section also show how
the legacy of older landscapes forms part of the active production
of future ones. Part II examines the challenges of living with
mobile natures, as it is acknowledged that environments, natures
and people do not stand still. An important dimension of the
heritage and contemporary politics of Australia, Sweden and Norway
is the presence of indigenous peoples. As is clear in part III, the
legacies of the colonial past both haunt and energise contemporary
land management decisions. Finally, part IV demonstrates how the
history and heritage of landscapes, including human activities in
those landscapes, are entwined with contemporary environmental
management. The rich empirical content of the chapters exposes the
diversity of meanings, practices, and ways of being in nature that
can be derived from cultural environmental research in different
disciplines. The everyday engagements between people, nature and
temporalities provide important creative resources with which to
meet future challenges.

This volume analyses the impact of globalization on civil service
systems across the Middle East and North Africa. A collaboration
between practitioners and academic public policy experts, it
presents an analytical model to assess how globalization influences
civil servants, illustrated by case studies of countries where
there have been increased engagement with international actors. It
demonstrates how this increased interaction has altered the
position of civil servants and traces the shifting patterns of
power and accountability between civil servants, politicians and
other actors. It is an original and important addition to the
debate about globalization's role in transnational public
administration and governance.
This book focuses on the protection of abducting mothers who have
been subject to return proceedings under the 1980 Hague Abduction
Convention and the Brussels IIa Regulation, in circumstances where
the child abduction has been motivated by acts of domestic violence
from the left-behind father. The utility of Regulation 606/2013 on
mutual recognition of protection measures in civil matters and
Directive 2011/99/EU on the European Protection Order, and how
protection measures can be used to protect abducting mothers, are
examined within this context. Both instruments allow cross-border
circulation of protection measures but, so far, have not attracted
much attention in practice. This book aims to fill that gap.
Domestic Violence and Parental Child Abduction is the culmination
of the POAM (Protection of Abducting Mothers in Return Proceedings)
project, a collaborative research project conducted between 2019
and 2021. It presents and analyses the findings of the project and
brings together contributions by the project partners, as well as
by other renowned experts. The book also presents a Best Practice
Guide developed for the application of Regulation 606/2013 and
Directive 2011/99/EU in child abduction cases committed against the
background of domestic violence. The book offers a unique
perspective on the problem of international parental child
abductions committed against the background of domestic violence.
Given its practical focus, it will appeal not only to an academic
audience but also to judges, legal practitioners and other
professionals working in the area of parental child abduction.
Consisting of 12 chapters, the book presents the rise and
development of environmentalism, environmental history as a
discipline, and the history of environmental movements in the
Central and South Eastern European region from an international
point of view. The chapters-written by scholars from Italy,
Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Greece and
Turkey-cover a wide range of topics including the creation of
protected areas, increasing environmental consciousness, the
evolution of humanity's relationship toward the environment, and
perceptions of environmentalism by different disciplines. This
international approach highlights the region's complex development
from the end of the eighteenth century through the twentieth
century, with its unique blend of traditions. Three historically
different traditions-the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian-converge in
Central and South Eastern Europe, and this book emphasizes the
subtleties of these sometimes intertwined traditions. The focus of
the book varies according to both the different geographical
environments characteristic of the region and the protagonists who
actively participated in changing relationships toward the
environment. However, what does not vary and is common to all the
chapters is the historical approach, since the process has
continuity, which the book accentuates. In geographical terms, the
region that is the focus of the book, Central and South Eastern
Europe, is the contact zone of the Alps, Danube, Adriatic and
partially the North Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Throughout history,
it was also the contact zone of the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian
traditions. Those realities have resulted in a unique blending and
intertwining of traditions and, therefore, relationships with and
perceptions of the environment.

The past two decades have seen an increasing emphasis on large and
interdisciplinary research configurations such as research
networks, and centers of excellence including those in Social
Sciences and Humanities research. Little research has been
undertaken, however, to understand how these new large research
structures that are being called forth by research funders and
research/higher education institutions alike function socially, and
what the impact of operating within such structures is on those
working within, and those working with, them. Past writers have
discussed the "intra-agentic" operations of human researchers and
the material laboratory environment in its broadest sense. This
volume is concerned with the social politics of research
collaboration in relation to six key positions: leaders of large
research formations, leaders of sub-projects within large
collaborations, participant researchers, junior and early career
researchers, advisory board members, and those who look in from the
outside such as researchers who are un-funded. It explores the
mostly unacknowledged but critical aspect of social structures in
research, discussing issues such as struggles over leadership
styles, the marginalization of researchers working
cross-disciplinarily, power hierarchies and intellectual ownership,
and the silencing of dissent in research.
