New perspectives on the past and present contributions of the 25
million strong Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia to the
development of contemporary society. Case studies feature
organisational, community, religious, and other arenas of Chinese
activity and identity definition, and the book analyses the
interplay of local, regional, global and transnational networks and
identities.
This book explores the ideas of key thinkers and media
practitioners who have examined images and icons of war and terror.
Icons of War and Terror explores theories of iconic images of war
and terror, not as received pieties but as challenging
uncertainties; in doing so, it engages with both critical discourse
and conventional image-making. The authors draw on these theories
to re-investigate the media/global context of some of the most
iconic representations of war and terror in the international 'risk
society'. Among these photojournalistic images are: Nick Ut's
Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of a naked girl, Kim Phuc,
running burned from a napalm attack in Vietnam in June 1972; a
quintessential 'ethnic cleansing' image of massacred Kosovar
Albanian villagers at Racak on January 15, 1999, which finally
propelled a hesitant Western alliance into the first of the 'new
humanitarian wars'; Luis Simco's photograph of marine James Blake
Miller, 'the Marlboro Man', at Fallujah, Iraq, 2004; the iconic
toppling of the World Trade Centre towers in New York by planes on
September 11, 2001; and the 'Falling Man' icon - one of the most
controversial images of 9/11; the image of one of the authors of
this book, as close-up victim of the 7/7 terrorist attack on
London, which the media quickly labelled iconic. This book will be
of great interest to students of media and war, sociology,
communications studies, cultural studies, terrorism studies and
security studies in general.

In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, the authors
make a case rich in theory and narrative for a new reflexive
approach to real life situations. This approach (immersed
reflexivity) draws on Pierre Bourdieu's logic of practice and the
complexity sciences.
Leadership and knowledge should be developed together: developed as
two intimately linked ideas, and developed with other people.
The authors make this surprising argument through extensive,
theoretically-disciplined use of narratives from their managerial
and doctoral experience. This volume is an inspiring resource for
students and providers of practice-based research degrees, while
offering practitioners, tired of broken promises from neat
frameworks and models, unexpected opportunities to develop
leadership impact and academic insight.
Ranging from complexity to sociology, and from leadership to
ontology and epistemology, the central theory of this work draws on
Bourdieu's logic of practice and Stacey's complex responsive
processes of relating. It yields new ideas about reflexivity and
essentially contested concepts. Since theory is not split from
practice, nor emotions and politics from thought, full-time
doctoral students will find an enlivening perspective on method as
well as courage and support for the journey they are making.
This new book explores clinical information in the tissue
transplantation field and acts as a comprehensive learning tool to
comply with regulatory requirements. Broad in scope, coverage
includes all the traditionally transplanted tissues and moves into
more complex areas of tissue grafting and the assisted reproduction
fields. This useful text focuses on the potential for disease
transmission, ways to improve safety, and the role of the clinician
in these safety aspects. The book starts off by describing
non-surgical risks of using allografts and moves onto chapters
devoted completely to tissue- or cell-specific issues relating to
transplantation of the individual types of tissues or cells.
"Tissue and Cell Clinical Use: An Essential Guide" is the final
book in a series which covers all aspects of tissue banking,
donation, processing, and transplantation. Each book in the series
includes lists of learning points and case studies which consist of
sample processing protocols, descriptions of where processing went
wrong, sample risk assessments, or validation studies. This three
book series covers all you need to know about tissue banking.
This is the guide to tissue and cell donation that you have been
waiting for.Policies and practices reviewed using specific donor
case histories as examplesMultidisciplinary, multi-national team of
editors and contributors, with expertise in ethics, consent,
transplantation, microbiology and tissue and cell bankingProvides a
guide to easier and safer practice in referrals, tissue
procurement, cord blood collection and decision making in general
This unique book explores a range of issues related to the human
impact of tissue and cell donation programmes around the world. It
addresses the areas that are of key concern and have profound
implications for the donors, recipients and healthcare
professionals involved. Focusing on tissue, assisted reproduction
and hematopoietic stem cells this book is essential reading for all
those working in the field of human transplant donation and those
who regulate this field.
