Written in a clear and concise style, this Modern Guide provides a
timely overview and comparison of urban challenges and national
urban policies in 13 European countries, addressing key issues such
as housing, urban regeneration and climate change. A team of
international contributors illustrate how gaps are emerging across
Europe due to the significant shifts in urban programmes. The book
provides an in-depth analysis into how the European Union
influences policies at a national level within its member states
and how these are implemented in terms of scope and objectives. It
explores how this results in fewer commonalities between countries
and the gap between the rise of international urban agendas and
variegated national urban policies, examining whether a more
bespoke approach is better than the traditional 'one size fits
all'. This insightful book will be an important read for
researchers of urban studies and public policy as well as scholars
with an interest in urban and regional sociology.
Edited by internationally recognized authorities in the field, this
expanded and updated new edition of the bestselling Handbook,
containing many new articles, is aimed at the design and operation
of modern particle accelerators. It is intended as a vade mecum for
professional engineers and physicists engaged in these subjects.
With a collection of more than 2000 equations, 300 illustrations
and 500 graphs and tables, here one will find, in addition to
common formulae of previous compilations, hard to find, specialized
formulae, recipes and material data pooled from the lifetime
experience of many of the world's most able practioners of the art
and science of accelerators.The seven chapters include both
theoretical and practical matters as well as an extensive glossary
of accelerator types. Chapters on beam dynamics and electromagnetic
and nuclear interactions deal with linear and nonlinear single
particle and collective effects including spin motion,
beam-environment, beam-beam, beam-electron, beam-ion and intrabeam
interactions. The impedance concept and related calculations are
dealt with at length as are the instabilities with the various
interactions mentioned. A chapter on operational considerations
including discussions on the assessment and correction of orbit and
optics errors, realtime feedbacks, generation of short photon
pulses, bunch compression, tuning of normal and superconducting
linacs, energy recovery linacs, free electron lasers, cryogenic
vacuum systems, steady state microbuching , cooling, space-charge
compensation, brightness of light sources, collider luminosity
optimization and collision schemes, machine learning, multiple
frequency rf systems, fel seeding. Chapters on mechanical and
electrical considerations present material data and important
aspects of component design including heat transfer and
refrigeration. Hardware systems for particle sources, feedback
systems, confinement, including undulators, and acceleration (both
normal and superconducting) receive detailed treatment in a
sub-systems chapter, beam measurement and apparatus being treated
therein as well.A detailed name and subject index is provided
together with reliable references to the literature where the most
detailed information available on all subjects treated can be
found.

City-regions are areas where the daily journeys for work, shopping
and leisure frequently cross administrative boundaries. They are
seen as engines of the national economy, but are also facing
congestion and disparities. Thus, all over the world, governments
attempt to increase problem-solving capacities in city-regions by
institutional reform and a shift of functions. This book analyses
the recent reforms and changes in the governance of city-regions in
France, Germany and Italy. It covers themes such as the impact of
austerity measures, territorial development, planning and state
modernisation. The authors provide a systematic cross-country
perspective on two levels, between six city-regions and between the
national policy frameworks in these three countries. They use a
solid comparative framework, which refers to the four dimensions
functions, institutions and governance, ideas and space. They
describe the course of the reforms, the motivations and the
results, and consequently, they question the widespread
metropolitan fever or resurgence of city-regions and provide a
better understanding of recent changes in city-regional governance
in Europe. The primary readership will be researchers and master
students in planning, urban studies, urban geography, political
science and governance studies, especially those interested in
metropolitan regions and / or decentralisation. Due to the
uniqueness of the work, the book will be of particular interest to
scholars working on the comparative European dimension of
territorial governance and planning. The Open Access version of

Activating the Art Museum: Designing Experiences for the Health
Professions, the first book on this subject, offers an argument for
collaboration between educators in art museums and healthcare
professionals. Through descriptions of teaching practices, the
authors bring us into the galleries along with participants to
demonstrate the value of art museums in supporting humanism in
healthcare for the benefit of both practitioners and their
patients. It includes advice on selecting meaningful and
provocative works of art; models of responsive workshop design;
compelling descriptions of gallery experiences; references to
supporting medical literature; and the voices of medical students,
physicians, and other health professionals. Chapters address key
topics including tolerating ambiguity; empathy; interprofessional
teamwork; confronting bias; the power of story; caring for the
spirit; wellbeing and mindfulness. This inspiring and practical
resource, written by three respected museum educators, is grounded
in their experience with multiple individual and institutional
partnerships and in designing hundreds of gallery experiences for
healthcare trainees and practitioners. This book will be valuable
to educators, leaders, and policy-makers in museums and health
care. These readers, as well as general audiences with an interest
in art and health will be inspired by the potential of art museums
to activate our empathetic imaginations and remind us of our shared
humanity.
