Although marginal as a political force, anarchist ideas developed
in Britain into a political tradition. This book explores this lost
history, offering a new appraisal of the work of Kropotkin and
Read, and examining the ways in which they endeavoured to
articulate a politics fit for the particular challenges of
Britain's modern history.
Nature conservation has become increasingly important in Britain
over the last three decades. This title, first published in 1986,
deals with the critical issues surrounding nature conservation and
wildlife protection. The book is broad in scope, with a focus on
the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and its provisions for the
protection of wildlife habitats in Sites of Special Scientific
Interest (SSSIs). This follows an historical account of habitat
loss over the past 200 years and the origins of conservation and
site-protection policy. This reissue will be of particular value to
professionals, voluntary workers and students with an interest in
the origins, developments and practice of nature conservation.

First published in 1992, this title offers an experienced and
constructive evaluation of the ways in which water resources have
been developed in Africa. Adams argues that the best hope of
productive development lies in working and engaging with local
people and using local knowledge of the environment effectively.
Modern, large-scale developments that have largely been ineffective
are examined, and emphasis is placed on the importance of using the
skills and concerns of those affected, such as small farmers, to
develop ingenious water projects - an approach that can be applied
worldwide. This is an interesting and relevant title, which will be
of particular value to those with an interest in the developments
in water resource conservation over the past two decades.
A fundamental assumption underlying the formation of our most
important relationships is that they will persist indefinitely into
the future. As an acquaintanceship turns into a friend ship, for
example, both members of this newly formed interpersonal bond are
likely to expect that their interactions will become increasingly
frequent, diverse, and intimate over time. This expectation is
perhaps most apparent in romantically involved couples who, through
a variety of verbal and symbolic means, make explicit pledges to a
long-lasting relationship. In either case, it is clear that these
relationships represent something valuable to the individuals in
volved and are pursued with great enthusiasm. Virtually all close
relationships are formed within the context of mutually rewarding
in teractions and/or strong physical attraction between partners.
Friends and romantically in volved couples alike are drawn to one
another because of similarity of attitudes, interests, and
personality and, quite simply, because they enjoy one another's
company. This enjoyment, cou pled with the novelty that
characterizes new relationships, almost makes the continuation of
the relationship a foregone conclusion. As relationships progress,
however, their novelty fades, conflicts may arise between partners,
negative life events may occur, and the satisfaction that
previously characterized the relationships may diminish."
In this updated edition, the author analyses the problems that
conservation faces and seeks the new ideas and energy that it needs
for the future. Concepts such as biodiversity and sustainability,
and changes in our understanding, appreciation and concern for
nature and culture are tightly intertwined, as are those between
economics and the countryside. Adams explores these links and the
scientific, cultural and economic significance of conservation. He
argues that conservation must move beyond the boundaries of parks
and reserves to embrace the whole countryside, and that it must be
built into ordinary life, not isolated as a specialized product
kept only in reserved places.
Thomas More's Utopia is one of the supreme achievements of Renaissance humanism. This is the first edition since 1965 to combine More's Latin text with an English translation, and the first to provide an accurate Latin text. Spelling and punctuation have been regularized, and the translation is a revised version of the acclaimed Adams translation, also published in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. The edition includes an introduction, textual apparatus, a full commentary and a guide to the critical literature on Utopia.
Clinical Management of Sex Addiction's newest edition updates many
of the original chapters from 28 leaders in the field with new
findings and treatment methods in the field of sex addiction. With
a growing awareness of sex addiction as a problem, plus the advent
of cybersex compulsion, professional clinicians are being
confronted with sexual compulsion with little clinical or academic
preparation. This is the first book distilling the experience of
the leaders in this emerging field. It additionally provides new
chapters on emerging areas of interest, including partner
counseling, trauma and sexual addiction, and adolescent sex
addiction. With a focus on special populations, the book creates a
current and coherent reference for the therapist who faces quickly
escalating new constellations of addictive sexual behavior.
Readable, concise and filled with useful interventions, it is a key
text for professionals new to the field and a classic reference for
all clinicians who treat sex addiction.
In this revised and updated 20th anniversary edition of his
groundbreaking book, Dr. Kenneth Adams, a leading expert on covert
incest, sex addiction, and childhood trauma, offers tools for
identifying and healing from covert incestuous relationships that
affect adult relationships and lives. He explains how 'feeling
close' with a parent is not always the source of comfort the phrase
suggests, especially when that child is cheated out of a childhood
by being a parent's surrogate partner. Dr. Adams includes a new
Q&A section that directly addresses issues including:
How can this be incestuous when there is no physical sexual
contact?
Why is sexual addiction so common with covert incest
survivors?
Why is it so hard for covert incest survivors to commit to
romantic relationships?
If my partner is a covert incest survivor, how can I help?
Can I pass covert incest on to my children?
Through new findings and expanded discussions on 'engulfment, '
'excessive guilt, ' 'loyalty, ' and 'narcissism, ' and others,
Silently Seduced offers a framework to understand covert incest and
its effect on sexuality, intimacy, and relationships to facilitate
the process of recovery."
This book provides essential reading to anyone interested in
projecting the future of either the forest products market and/or
the forest resource conditions. It is aimed at policy makers, model
builders, researchers and graduate students who are building or
using forest sector models, as well as at forest industry managers
and analysts. While focusing on a specific modeling system the US
Timber Assessment models the authors highlight the general elements
that might comprise a forest-sector market model of any country or
region. Approaches to policy analysis are also general and equally
applicable to both national and multi-national forest policy
development outside the US particularly in relation to on-going
efforts to formulate national programs of sustainable forestry.
Darius Adams and Richard Haynes are widely recognized as leading
experts in the forest sector modeling field.
What does it mean to study tourism ethnographically? How has the
ethnography of tourism changed from the 1970s to today? What
theories, themes, and concepts drive contemporary research?
Thirteen leading anthropologists of tourism address these
questions, focusing on the experience-near, interpretive-humanistic
approach to tourism studies that emerged in the 1990s and continues
to be prominent today. Widely associated with the work of American
anthropologist Edward Bruner, this perspective is characterized by
an attentiveness to representation, imagination, interpretation,
meaning, and the inherent subjectivity of both ethnography and
tourism as social practices. Contributors draw on their ongoing
fieldwork to illustrate, critically engage, and build upon key
concepts in tourism ethnography today—from experience, encounter,
and emergent culture to authenticity, narrative, contested sites,
the touristic borderzone, embodiment, identity, and mobility. Using
Bruner’s work as a lens for delving into the past, present, and
future of interpretive-humanistic tourism ethnography, these
scholars provide a critical introduction to the state of the art.
With its comprehensive introductory chapter, keyword-based
organization, and engaging style, this volume will appeal to
students of anthropology and tourism studies, as well as scholars
in both fields and beyond.
Eskom is a South African company that has developed from a state
utility under apartheid into an efficient globally competitive
state-owned enterprise. In 2001, Eskom received the Power Company
of the Year title at the "Financial Times" Global Energy Awards
Ceremony in New York. This book draws on the growing body of
knowledge about corporate governance in state-owned enterprises. It
locates Eskom's experience in that context and argues that a
state-owned enterprise can be run as efficiently as any other. The
key to performance excellence lies in good governance and the
authors reveal how a public company can implement good governance
practices when government is the major shareholder.
**Winner of the 2020 Edward Bruner Prize from the Anthropology of
Tourism Interest Group** "Leite, Castaneda, and Adams's volume is a
beautiful retrospective of the enduring importance of Ed Bruner's
work and legacy in our field, and we have no doubt that it will be
used as a central historical, theoretical, and teaching text by
many." - Prize Committee What does it mean to study tourism

Cyber-security is a matter of rapidly growing importance in
industry and government. This book provides insight into a range of
data science techniques for addressing these pressing concerns.The
application of statistical and broader data science techniques
provides an exciting growth area in the design of cyber defences.
Networks of connected devices, such as enterprise computer networks
or the wider so-called Internet of Things, are all vulnerable to
misuse and attack, and data science methods offer the promise to
detect such behaviours from the vast collections of cyber traffic
data sources that can be obtained. In many cases, this is achieved
through anomaly detection of unusual behaviour against understood
statistical models of normality.This volume presents contributed
papers from an international conference of the same name held at
Imperial College. Experts from the field have provided their latest
discoveries and review state of the art technologies.
