Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In his lead essay, Tully applies his distinctive philosophy to the
global field of citizenship. The second part of the book contains
responses from influential interlocutors including Bonnie Honig and
Marc Stears, David Owen and Adam Dunn, Aletta Norval, Antony Laden,
and Duncan Bell. These provide a commentary not just on the ideas
contained in this volume, but on Tully's approach to political
philosophy more generally, thus making the book an ideal first
source for academics and students wishing to engage with Tully's
work. The volume closes with a response from Tully to his
interlocutors. This is the opening volume in Bloomsbury's Critical
Powers series of dialogues between authors and their critics. It
offers a stimulating read for students and scholars of political
theory and philosophy, especially those engaged with questions of
citizenship. It is an ideal first source for academics and students
wishing to engage with Tully's work.
In this volume, practitioners within archaeology, anthropology,
urban planning, human geography, cultural resource management (CRM)
and museology push the boundaries of traditional cultural and
natural heritage management and reflect how heritage discourse is
being increasingly re-theorised in term of experience.
This book tells the true story of Buddy. Much like the human soul
before finding Christ, Buddy was lost a lostdog who was hurting,
hungry, unloved and unfulfilled in his purpose (as man s best
friend, of course ). Much like us, Buddy was in need of someone to
save him and fill those voids. Dr. Charles Tullis uses this sweet
story to drive home the fundamentals of the salvation plan.
Usability testing and user experience research typically take
place in a controlled lab with small groups. While this type of
testing is essential to user experience design, more companies are
also looking to test large sample sizes to be able compare data
according to specific user populations and see how their
experiences differ across user groups. But few usability
professionals have experience in setting up these studies,
analyzing the data, and presenting it in effective ways. Online
usability testing offers the solution by allowing testers to elicit
feedback simultaneously from 1,000s of users. "Beyond the Usability
Lab" offers tried and tested methodologies for conducting online
usability studies. It gives practitioners the guidance they need to
collect a wealth of data through cost-effective, efficient, and
reliable practices. The reader will develop a solid understanding
of the capabilities of online usability testing, when it s
appropriate to use and not use, and will learn about the various
types of online usability testing techniques.
*The first guide for conducting large-scale user experience
research using the internet *Presents how-to conduct online tests
with 1000s of participants from start to finish *Outlines essential
tips for online studies to ensure cost-efficient and reliable

During the 1970s human rights took the front stage in international
relations; fuelling political debates, social activism and a
reconceptualising of both East-West and North-South relations.
Nowhere was the debate on human rights more intense than in Western
Europe, where human rights discourses intertwined the Cold War and
the European Convention on Human Rights, the legacies of European
empires, and the construction of national welfare systems. Over
time, the European Community (EC) began incorporating human rights
into its international activity, with the ambitious political will
to prove that the Community was a global “civilian power.” This
book brings together the growing scholarship on human rights during
the 1970s, the history of European integration and the study of
Western European supranational cooperation. Examining the role of
human rights in EC activities in Latin America, Africa, the
Mediterranean, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, The Human
Rights Breakthrough of the 1970s seeks to verify whether a
specifically European approach to human rights existed, and asks
whether there was a distinctive ‘European voice’ in the human
rights surge of the 1970s.
Focusing on a highly controversial and fiercely debated subject,
this survey tracks the social and economic consequences of the
production, trafficking, and consumption of cocaine, heroin, and
cannabis. From a growing body of literature, LaMond Tullis has
extracted the most salient economic, social, and political themes
currently under discussion in both scholarly publications and in
the responsible press. The two-part volume consisting of a lengthy
review of relevant literature and an annotated bibliography helps
its users understand the major issues: Can and should consumption
be curtailed, supplies suppressed, and traffickers eliminated? Can
the unintended economic, social, and political consequences of
curtailing, suppressing, and eliminating somehow be mitigated?
Should these drugs be legalized? Would legalization produce its own
array of unintended and largely unacceptable consequences? Although
tentative answers to these questions abound, this excellent
resource is testimony to the fact that there is still little
agreement on how to deal with these powerful substances and the
problems they generate. Tullis's compilation presents the best
overview of this complex subject to date.
The first half of this two-part reference consists of a survey
of the published literature on the production and consumption of
the three illicit drugs. Chapters are devoted to the global
patterns of production and consumption of cocaine, heroin, and
cannabis, to the consequences, both positive and negative, of drug
consumption and production, and to the policy measures that have
been adopted (or are under consideration) in both consuming and
producing countries. These chapters will be of interest to those
wishing to obtain an overall view of the subject and to specialists
seeking a guide to the literature outside their particular area of
knowledge. The second half of the book contains an annotated
bibliography of about 2,000 items covering works published in
English--plus a few in Spanish--as books, articles, or press
reports. This section will be invaluable to researchers working on
the frontiers of the subject and to general readers who wish to
pursue particular topics in greater depth. The volume should be at
the fingertips of policy makers, legislators, law enforcement
officials, judges, and social workers, as well as students and
teachers.
