Leaving the field gathers various accounts of ethnographers leaving
their field sites. In doing do, the book offers original insights
into an often-overlooked aspect of the research process; the
ethnographic exit. The chapters variously consider situations in
which the researcher must extricate themselves from field
relations, deal with unexpected or imperfect ends to projects, or
manage situations in which âthe fieldâ becomes hard to leave.
Whilst the chapters are firmly focussed on ethnographic exits, they
also provide more general methodological insights into the conduct
of fieldwork and the writing of ethnography, as well as questioning
established notions of âthe fieldâ as a bounded setting the
researcher straightforwardly visits and then leaves. The book
highlights the importance of recognising ethnographic exits as an
essential part of the research process. -- .
Tax and taxation are conventionally understood as the embodiment of
social contract. This ground-breaking collection of essays
challenges this truism, examining what tax might tell us about the
limits of social-contract thinking. The contributors shed light on
contemporary fiscal structures and public debates about the
moralities, practices, and imaginaries of tax systems, using tax to
explore the nature of citizenship, personal freedom, and moral and
economic value. Their ethnographically grounded accounts show how
taxation may be influenced by spaces of fiscal sovereignty that
exist outside or alongside the state, taking various forms, from
alternative religious communities to economic collectives.
Thorough treatment of process plant layout providing a systematic
approach to the synthesis of control systems for overall processes
Process Plant Design is a practical guide to chemical engineering
process plant design, particularly in relation to design projects,
giving an up-to-date approach to the structure of process design
projects as practiced industrially and exploring the wider issues
of process design in terms of the services (utilities) required to
make a practical process design function. The text allows chemical
engineering students to gain an understanding of reliability,
maintainability, and availability in relation to the subject,
enabling them to specify with confidence the use of standby
equipment, redundancy, reliability required of safety equipment,
required availability to meet production targets, and the use of
storage to achieve the required process availability. To aid in
reader comprehension, Process Plant Design features worked examples
within the text and exercises at the end of some chapters with
solutions available via supporting website. Written by a renowned
author with a proven track record in textbooks for chemical
engineering students, Process Plant Design contains information on:
Chemical process projects, development of process design concepts,
heating and cooling utilities, and waste treatment systems Piping
and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) development, I.E. The most
important document in the industrial practice of chemical
engineering that must be developed for all design projects Flow
rate and inventory control, degrees of freedom, control of process
operations, and overall process control Piping and pressure relief,
process operations, construction, mechanical design, site layout,
and process layout Process Plant Design is a highly valuable
resource on the subject for final year undergraduate students, as
well as practicing chemical engineers working in engineering,
procurement, and construction. The text is also useful for
industrial disciplines related to chemical engineering working in
engineering, procurement, and construction of chemical processes.

This text provides guidance for building curriculum structures and
examines the models that can be used. Options such as accreditation
of prior and experiential learning, incompany accreditation,
work-based learning, negotiated awards, and transparency of
education assessment are explored.

"This volume is an impressive tour de force. It is state-of-the-art
Aristotle: it employs the most recent philological, philosophical,
and logical advances which since the 1970's at least have rendered
previous translations and commentaries obsolete. The translation is
the first to take account of the recent epistemically orientated
natural-deduction approach, which restores Aristotle's reputation
as a consummate logician and reveals much more of Aristotle's
method than previous approaches. Every page of Robin Smith's
commentary shows extensive learning, taste, imagination, and skill.
. . . An important and lasting contribution, not only to Aristotle
scholarship and to the history of logic, but also to the history of
philosophy itself." --John Corcoran, SUNY Buffalo
The Topics is Aristotle's treatise on dialectical argument, a
practice perhaps as old as human language, systemized for the first
time by Aristotle. This seminal text offers many important insights
into his conception of logic, his development of the notion of the
predicables (the Five Terms), and his ideas on the method of
philosophical inquiry itself. This volume contains a clear and
accurate translation of Books I and VIII of Aristotle's Topics
together with a philosophical commentary on these books and
additional selections from Books II and III, and from the
Sophistical Refutations . These books and selections best give a
general view of the main ideas, arguments, and techniques expounded
in the Topics . The volume is well suited to the requirements of
students, including those who do not know Greek.
Early in his career, actor Courtney B. Vance lost his father to
suicide. Recently, he lost his godson to the same fate. Still, as
mental health discourse hits the mainstream, it leaves the most
vulnerable out of the conversation: Black men. In America, we teach
that strength means holding back tears and shaming your own
feelings. In the Black community, these pressures are especially
poignant. Poor mental health outcomes-- including diagnoses of
depression and anxiety, reliance on prescription drugs, and
suicide-- have skyrocketed in the past decade. Institutionalized
racism, microaggressions, and stress caused by socioeconomic
factors have led Black individuals to face worse mental health
outcomes than any other demographic. In this book, Courtney B.
Vance seeks to change this trajectory. Along with professional
expertise from famed psychologist Dr. Robin Smith (popularly known
as "Dr. Robin"), Courtney B. Vance explores issues of grief,
relationships, identity, and race through the telling of his own
most formative experiences. Together, Courtney and Dr. Robin
provide a guide for Black men navigating life's ups and downs,
reclaiming mental well-being, and examining broken pieces to find
whole, full-hearted living. Self-care is an act of revolution. It's
time to revolutionize mental health in the Black community.
