From 1918 to 1939 one issue dominated French foreign and defence
policy: the German problem. This work outlines France's strategies
for protection and appeasement during this period and places
inter-war relations in a larger European context. With
contributions from scholars in the field, it examines:
relationships with key countries such as Italy and Russia; the
significance of inter-war France to 20th-century European
integration; the historical context of the policies; and the
setbacks and defeats of the period and how they should be
evaluated.
The availability of electric lighting has changed the lives of
people the world over, yet as a major user of electricity it has
come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This scrutiny has
focused largely on the environmental consequences, with little
consideration of the benefits of lighting. Human Factors in
Lighting, Third Edition restores some balance to the discussion by
examining the ways in which people interact with lighting. These
interactions influence the ability to perform visual tasks; the
perception of people, objects, and spaces; human comfort and
behavior; as well as human health and safety. It is only by
understanding how to use light to achieve these ends that lighting
can be provided effectively and efficiently to the benefit of all.
See What's New in the Third Edition: New chapters on the
non-image-forming system, lighting for pedestrians, light
pollution, and lighting and electricity use Revision of all other
chapters to update them to take into account the advances that have
been made in our understanding of the effects of light on people
over the last decade Integration of the combined effects of light
via the visual and non-image-forming systems on performance and
perception The book covers both the visual and the non-visual
effects of light on people as well as the benefits of lighting and
the costs it imposes on the environment. It details the
consequences of exposure to lighting or lighting technology and the
role of exposure to light on such basic functions of the body as
circadian rhythms. The author combines information from many
different sources and integrates them into a coherent overview of
lighting practice that can be used to develop better lighting
solutions at a lower environmental cost.
