While stress and fatigue are often dealt with in other books on
aviation performance and human factors, these realities of human
vulnerability are now increasingly seen as central to the effective
conduct of flight operations. Flight Stress provides a
comprehensive treatment and a better understanding of stress and
fatigue as they relate to aviation. It clarifies and distinguishes
the concepts of stress and fatigue as they apply to flight, and
expounds sufficient theory to provide a principled basis for the
consideration and amelioration of stress effects in aviation. The
authors examine what is known of the effects of stress from both
laboratory and operational studies and detail the aspects of this
knowledge to which aviation professionals should pay most
attention. They go on to discuss the implications of stress and
fatigue for performance in a range of aviation contexts, from air
traffic control to aerial combat. Physiological, cognitive and
medical sequel are explored. The book locates aviation related
work, in its broader research context, critically reviewing and
illustrating the work, with examples from accident and incident
reports. It is substantive but accessible, since it both sets out
the research base and provides plenty of 'real world' examples to
leaven and illustrate the narrative. It thus provides an
authoritative handbook for aviation professionals and a
comprehensive source book and reference work for researchers. The
readership includes aviation professionals and researchers,
including medical personnel and registered Aviation Medical
Examiners; psychologists and Human Factors specialists; training
captains, senior pilots and engineers; air traffic controllers,
dispatchers and operations staff.
The conservation of skin, leather and related materials is an area
that, until now, has had little representation by the written word
in book form. Marion Kite and Roy Thomson, of the Leather
Conservation Centre, have prepared a text which is both
authoritative and comprehensive, including contributions from the
leading specialists in their fields, such as Betty Haines, Mary Lou
Florian, Ester Cameron and Jim Spriggs. The book covers all aspects
of Skin and Leather preservation, from Cuir Bouillie to
Bookbindings. There is significant discussion of the technical and
chemical elements necessary in conservation, meaning that
professional conservators will find the book a vital part of their
collection. As part of the Butterworth-Heinemann Black series, the
book carries the stamp of approval of the leading figures in the
world of Conservation and Museology, and as such it is the only
publication available on the topic carrying this immediate mark of
authority.
Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provides a comprehensive
and compelling overview of what psychological theory and research
have to say about the nature, causes, and reduction of prejudice
and discrimination. It balances a detailed discussion of theories
and selected research with applied examples that ensure the
material is relevant to students. This edition has been thoroughly
revised and updated and addresses several interlocking themes. It
first looks at the nature of prejudice and discrimination, followed
by a discussion of research methods. Next come the psychological
underpinnings of prejudice: the nature of stereotypes, the
conditions under which stereotypes influence responses to other
people, contemporary theories of prejudice, and how individuals'
values and belief systems are related to prejudice. Explored next
are the development of prejudice in children and the social context
of prejudice. The theme of discrimination is developed via
discussions of the nature of discrimination, the experience of
discrimination, and specific forms of discrimination, including
gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, and
appearance. The concluding theme is the reduction of prejudice. The
book is accompanied by a comprehensive website featuring an
Instructor Manual that contains activities and tools to help with
teaching a prejudice and discrimination course; PowerPoint slides
for every chapter; and a Test Bank with short answer and
multiple-choice exam questions for every chapter. This book is an
essential companion for all students of prejudice and
discrimination, including those in psychology, education, social
work, business, communication studies, ethnic studies, and other
disciplines. In addition to courses on prejudice and
discrimination, this book will also appeal to those studying racism
and diversity.

First published in 2005, An Architecture of invitation: Colin St
John Wilson is a distinctive study of the life and architectural
career of one of the most significant makers, theorists and
teachers of architecture to have emerged in England in the second
half of the twentieth century. Exceptionally in an architectural
study, this book interweaves biography, critical analysis of the
projects, and theory, in its aims of explicating the richness of
Wilson's body of work, thought and teaching. Drawing on the
specialisms of its authors, it also examines the creative and
psychological impulses that have informed the making of the work -
an oeuvre whose experiential depth is recognised by both users and
critics.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of research methods in
the behavioral sciences, focusing primarily on the conceptual
issues inherent in conducting research. It covers topics that are
often omitted from other texts, including measurement issues,
correlational research, qualitative research, and integrative
literature reviews. The book also includes discussions of diversity
issues as they related to behavioral science research. New to this
edition are chapter boxes that focus on applied issues related to
each chapter topic. Throughout the book, readable examples and
informative tables and figures are provided. The authors also take
a contemporary approach to topics such as research ethics,
replication research, and data collection (including internet
research).

Based on extensive fieldwork, and research into John Ruskin's still
little-interpreted archival material, notebooks and drawings (in
the Ruskin Library, Lancaster University, UK and elsewhere),
Stephen Kite offers an unprecedented account of the evolution of
Ruskin's architectural thinking and observation in the context of
Italy where his watching of building achieved its greatest
intensity. Venice naturally figures large in a work that also
examines other key sites including Verona, Lucca, Pisa, Florence,
Milan and Monza; here, the fabrics are vividly read in their
contexts against the rich evidence of Ruskin's diaries, his
pocket-book sketches, architectural worksheets, drawings, and
daguerrotypes (the early form of photography), and the drafts and
published editions of the texts. Kite presents the complex story of
Ruskin's visual thinking in architecture as a narrative of
deepening interpretation and representation, focusing on the
humbler monuments of Italy. He shows how Ruskin's early picturesque
naturalism was transformed by the realisation that to understand
the built realities confronting him in Italy demanded a closer
engagement with the substance of the stones themselves; reflecting
Ruskin's sense of his task as a near-archaeological gleaning and
gathering of remains 'hidden in many a grass grown court, and
silent pathway, and lightless canal'.
Economy and Architecture addresses a timely, critical, and
much-debated topic in both its historical and contemporary
dimensions. From the Apple Store in New York City, to the street
markets of the Pan American Highway; from commercial Dubai to the
public schools of Australia, this book takes a critical look at
contemporary architecture from across the globe, whilst extending
its range back in history as far as the Homeric epics of ancient
Greece. The book addresses the challenges of practicing
architecture within the strictures of contemporary economies,
grounded on the fundamental definition of 'economy' as the well
managed household - derived from the Greek oikonomia - oikos
(house) and nemein (manage). The diverse enquiries of the study are
structured around the following key questions: How do we define our
economies? How are the values of architecture negotiated among the
various actors involved? How do we manage the production of a good
architecture within any particular system? How does political
economy frame and influence architecture? The majority of examples
are taken from current or recent architectural practice; historical
examples, which include John Evelyn's villa, Blenheim Palace, John
Ruskin's Venice, and early twentieth century Paris, place the
debates within an extended critical perspective.

How do you feel about your body? Have you ever stayed home from a
social activity or other opportunity because of concern about how
you looked? Have you ever passed judgment on someone because of how
they looked or dressed? Have you ever had difficulty concentrating
on a task because you were self-conscious about your appearance?
Our beauty-obsessed world perpetuates the idea that happiness,
health, and ability to be loved are dependent on how we look, but
authors Lindsay and Lexie Kite offer an alternative vision. With
insights drawn from their extensive body image research, Lindsay
and Lexie - PhDs and founders of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined
(and also twin sisters!) - lay out an action plan that arms you
with the skills you need to reconnect with your whole self and free
yourself from the constraints of self-objectification. From media
consumption to health and fitness to self-reflection and
self-compassion, Lindsay and Lexie share powerful and practical
advice that goes beyond "body positivity" to help readers develop
body image resilience - all while cutting through the empty
promises sold by media, advertisers, and the beauty and weight-loss
industries. In the process, they show how facing your feelings of
body shame or embarrassment can become a catalyst for personal
growth.

Shaping the Surface explores the history of modern British
architecture through the lens of surface, materiality and
decoration. Picking up on a trait that art historian Nikolaus
Pevsner first identified as a 'national mania for beautiful surface
quality', this book makes a new contribution to architectural
history and visual culture in its detailed examination of the
surfaces of British architecture from the middle of the 19th
century up to the turn of the 21st century. Tracing this continuing
sensibility to surface all the way through to the modern era, it
explores how and why surface and materiality have featured so
heavily in recent architectural tradition, examining the history of
British architecture through a selection of key cultural moments
and movements from Romanticism and the Arts and Crafts, to
Brutalism, High-Tech, Post-Modernism, Neo-Vernacular, and the New
Materiality. Embedded within the narrative is the question of
whether such national characters can exist in architecture at all -
and indeed the extent to which it is possible to identify a British
architectural consciousness in an architectural tradition
characterised by its continuous importation of theories, ideas,
materials and people from around the globe. Shaping the Surface
provides a deep critique and meditation on the importance of
surface and materiality for architects, designers, and historians
everywhere - in Britain and beyond - while it also serves as a
thematic introduction to modern British architectural history, with
in-depth readings of the works of many key British architects,
artists, and critics from Ruskin and William Morris to Alison and
Peter Smithson, Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Rogers and Caruso St
John.

Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provides a comprehensive
and compelling overview of what psychological theory and research
have to say about the nature, causes, and reduction of prejudice
and discrimination. It balances a detailed discussion of theories
and selected research with applied examples that ensure the
material is relevant to students. Newly revised and updated, this
edition addresses several interlocking themes, such as research
methods, the development of prejudice in children, the relationship
between prejudice and discrimination, and discrimination in the
workplace, which are developed in greater detail than in other
textbooks. The first theme introduced is the nature of prejudice
and discrimination, which is followed by a discussion of research
methods. Next comes the psychological underpinnings of prejudice:
the nature of stereotypes, the conditions under which stereotypes
influence responses to other people, contemporary theories of
prejudice, and how values and belief systems are related to
prejudice. Explored next are the development of prejudice in
children and the social context of prejudice. The theme of
discrimination is developed via discussions of the nature of
discrimination, the experience of discrimination, and specific
forms of discrimination, including gender, sexual orientation, age,
ability, and appearance. The concluding theme is the reduction of
prejudice. An ideal core text for junior and senior college
students who have had a course in introductory psychology, it is
written in a style that is accessible to students in other fields
including education, social work, business, communication studies,
ethnic studies, and other disciplines. In addition to courses on
prejudice and discrimination, this book is also adapted for courses
that cover topics in racism and diversity. For instructor
resources, consult the companion website
(http://www.routledge.com/cw/Kite), which includes an Instructor
Manual that contains activities and tools to help with teaching a
prejudice and discrimination course; PowerPoint slides for every
chapter; and a Test Bank with exam questions for every chapter for
a total of over 1,700 questions.
Drawing on the principles of ancient Chinese philosophy and his
extensive experience of helping people of all ages and walks of
life, Gerad Kite offers a life-changing promise - a route to a
state of being that is more authentic, expansive and liberating
than anything most people can currently find either in their
thoughts or the world around them.
Madison Flight refuses to be born for five days. She comes out
eventually - kicking, screaming, and scarred for life by forceps -
but it isn't long before her mother, Cynthia, realises the terrible
truth: she has given birth to the world's first arguing baby.
Cyntha's husband Mitchell soon takes off in terror, leaving her to
raise their quarrelsome rugrat with only the help of the next door
neighbour Shirley - a sadistic retired nurse who detests children.
Madison's young life is full of proud milestones: at the age of one
she breaks the world record for the number of times anyone has said
the word 'no' during a two week Spanish package holiday - 4,477
times - and she gets better with practice. Lots of practice. This
is the story of a girl who wanted to be right rather than happy.
This is the story of the girl who couldn't stop arguing.
