Giordano Bruno and the Geometry of Language Panduit Corrugated Loom Tubing Slit - Cable concealer - 100 ft - yellow Giordano Bruno and the Geometry of Language brings to the fore a sixteenth-century philosopher's role in early modern Europe as a bridge between science and literature or more specifically between the spatial paradigm of geometry and that of language. Arielle Saiber examines how to invite what Bruno believed to be an infinite universe-its qualities and vicissitudes-into the world of language Bruno forged a system of 'figurative' vocabularies: number form space and word. This verbal and symbolic system in which geometric figures are seen to underlie rhetorical figures is what Saiber calls 'geometric rhetoric.' Through analysis of Bruno's writings Saiber shows how Bruno's writing necessitates a crafting of space and is in essence a lexicon of spatial concepts. This study constitutes an original contribution both to scholarship on Bruno and to the fields of early modern scientific and literary studies. It also addresses the broader question of what role geometry has in the formation of any language and literature of any place and time. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315254319

New Environments for Working Intellinet HDMI Inline Coupler - Modular insert (coupling) - HDMI - white The workplace is changing radically yet the building designs and environmental systems for conventional offices fail to support the more fluid use of space and time practised by these new kinds of office work. Prepared by the team who wrote The Responsible Workplace in 1992 this book is based on a major research project undertaken by DEGW and the BRE. It identifies the key organizational changes patterns of work work settings and types of space layouts and it will help specifiers and users of environmental systems understand what products will be suitable for innovative ways of office working.

Reliability of Geotechnical Structures in ISO2394 C2G RapidRun HDMI VGA Stereo Audio + USB Pass Through Single Gang Wall Plate - Mounting plate - HD-15 mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm HDMI USB Type B - aluminum - 1-gang The latest 4th edition of the international standard on the principles of reliability for load bearing structures (ISO2394:2015) includes a new Annex D dedicated to the reliability of geotechnical structures. The emphasis in Annex D is to identify and characterize critical elements of the geotechnical reliability-based design process. This book contains a wealth of data and information to assist geotechnical engineers with the implementation of semi-probabilistic or full probabilistic design approaches within the context of established geotechnical knowledge principles and experience. The introduction to the book presents an overview on how reliability can play a complementary role within prevailing norms in geotechnical practice to address situations where some measured data and/or past experience exist for limited site-specifi c data to be supplemented by both objective regional data and subjective judgment derived from comparable sites elsewhere. The principles of reliability as presented in ISO2394:2015 provides the common basis for harmonization of structural and geotechnical design. The balance of the chapters describes the uncertainty representation of geotechnical design parameters the statistical characterization of multivariate geotechnical data and model factors semi-probabilistic and direct probability-based design methods in accordance to the outline of Annex D.This book elaborates and reinforces the goal of Annex D to advance geotechnical reliability-based design with geotechnical needs at the forefront while complying with the general principles of reliability given by ISO2394:2015. It serves as a supplementary reference to Annex D and it is a must-read for designing geotechnical structures in compliance with ISO2394:2015. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367574468

Injustice Memory and Faith in Human Rights This multi-disciplinary collection interrogates the role of human rights in addressing past injustices. The volume draws on legal scholars political scientists anthropologists and political philosophers grappling with the weight of the memory of historical injustices arising from conflicts in Europe the Middle East and Australasia. It examines the role of human rights as legal doctrine rhetoric and policy as developed by states international organizations regional groups and non-governmental bodies. The authors question whether faith in human rights is justified as balm to heal past injustice or whether such faith nourishes both victimhood and self-justification. These issues are explored through three discrete sections: moments of memory and injustice addressing injustice; and questions of faith. In each of these sections authors address the manner in which memory of past conflicts and injustice haunt our contemporary understanding of human rights. The volume questions whether the expectation that human rights law can deal with past injustice has undermined the development of an emancipatory politics of human rights for our current world.

Education Professionalization and Social RepresentationsOn the Transformation of Social Knowledge This book presents a broad range of research related to how social knowledge is shared transmitted and transformed in the context of education and professional formation. The chapters of this edited collection reflect different theoretical and empirical approaches to that form of common-sense knowledge called social representations the theory of which was developed almost a half-century ago by Serge Moscovici. Scholars from various research institutions in Brazil France and Sweden spanning a wide variety of disciplines within the social sciences have contributed chapters that are grouped into three main categories related to education professionalization and transformation of knowledge. Part I covers theoretical approaches to understanding the transformation of social knowledge from the perspective of social representations. Part II analyzes the impact of the theory of social representations on the transformation of knowledge in the field of education and professional formation. Finally Part III presents several empirical studies focused on the social and cultural frames that condition the transformation of knowledge. While the book is devoted to education and the emerging field of research on professionalization it will also appeal to anyone with a general interest in how people acquire their worldviews and how these views influence their actions.

Economics of Forestry This title was first published in 2003. The 'Economics of Forestry' is a specialized subset of resource economics addressing a specific natural resource - the forest - which is usually a relatively long time period. Hence forest economics has characteristics similar to nonrenewable resources but also has those of a renewable resource in some cases approaching those of agriculture. This volume comprises some of the most significant journal essays in forest economics and forest policy. The International Library of Environmental Economics and Policy explores the influence of economics on the development of environmental and natural resource policy. In a series of twenty five volumes the most significant journal essays in key areas of contemporary environmental and resource policy are collected. Scholars who are recognized for their expertise and contribution to the literature in the various research areas serve as volume editors and write essays that provides the context for the collection. Volumes in the series reflect three broad strands of economic research including 1) Natural and Environmental Resources 2) Policy Instruments and Institutions and 3) Methodology. The editors in their introduction to each volume provide a state-of-the-art overview of the topic and explain the influence and relevance of the collected papers on the development of policy. This reference series provides access to the economic literature that has shaped contemporary perspectives on land use analysis and policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138741775
