Coping with Crisis: The Resilience and Vulnerability of Pre-Industrial Settlements

Coping with Crisis: The Resilience and Vulnerability of Pre-Industrial Settlements

Daniel R. Curtis

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
Why in the pre-industrial period were some settlements resilient and stable over the long term while other settlements were vulnerable to crisis? Indeed, what made certain human habitations more prone to decline or even total collapse, than others? All pre-industrial societies had to face certain challenges: exogenous environmental hazards such as earthquakes or plagues, economic or political hazards from ’outside’ such as warfare or expropriation of property, or hazards of their own-making such as soil erosion or subsistence crises. How then can we explain why some societies were able to overcome or negate these problems, while other societies proved susceptible to failure, as settlements contracted, stagnated, were abandoned, or even disappeared entirely? This book has been stimulated by the questions and hypotheses put forward by a recent ’disaster studies’ literature - in particular, by placing the intrinsic arrangement of societies at the forefront of the explanatory framework. Essentially it is suggested that the resilience or vulnerability of habitation has less to do with exogenous crises themselves, but on endogenous societal responses which dictate: (a) the extent of destruction caused by crises and the capacity for society to protect itself; and (b) the capacity to create a sufficient recovery. By empirically testing the explanatory framework on a number of societies between the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century in England, the Low Countries, and Italy, it is ultimately argued in this book that rather than the protective functions of the state or the market, or the implementation of technological innovation or capital investment, the most resilient human habitations in the pre-industrial period were those than displayed an equitable distribution of property and a well-balanced distribution of power between social interest groups. Equitable distributions of power and property were the underlying conditions in pre-industrial societies that all

First published in 1983, The Eurodollar Market and the Years of Crisis embraces the wider concepts of the market’s role in international monetary developments and examines the Eurodollar market within the context of the international monetary crisis of 1968- 1974.

Healing in Loss Press
2025
pokkari
Grief bleeds-but with time, care, and hope, wounds can heal. This book is a compassionate companion for anyone seeking light in the midst of loss. Daniel Verkoeyen, a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, has spent years walking with grieving families and writing about grief and healing. Drawing from both personal and professional insights, he offers a simple yet profound metaphor that makes grief more understandable and less isolating. Suffering loss is like being wounded. From the initial shock to living with the scar, every step in our physical healing mirrors the journey of loss to healing. This book brings clarity and understanding to that painful process-not only for those carrying loss, but also for those looking to help their bereaved loved ones. Through six meaningful stages-Cry Out, Apply Pressure, Shield from Debris, Wash with Saline, Closure/Mending, and Live with the Scar-this book provides practical guidance and heartfelt encouragement. Each step offers a way to process pain, honor love, and find hope. Grief Bleeds: Healing in Loss is more than a book-it is a framework for healing. Whether you are navigating your own loss or supporting someone you love, this work offers compassion, direction, and the reassurance that you do not walk alone.

On-Target Learning: Redefining Organizational Learning

On-Target Learning: Redefining Organizational Learning

Daniel R. Tobin

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Throughout his 40 years in learning and development in a variety of companies, Dan Tobin has been known as an innovator and a disruptor. More than 20 years ago, he created a process for tying all learning initiatives directly to corporate, group, and individual business goals - a process he called a "Learning Contract" and he has presented this model to dozens of executive, human resources, and training groups throughout the world. When explaining the learning contract process, he has often been asked when he would create a toolkit for people to use in implementing the process. On-Target Learning presents this toolkit. The Learning Contract starts with the organization's goals, determines how learning can contribute to the achievement of those goals, develops a learning plan, and follows through to ensure that what is learned is actually applied to people's work to help them meet those goals. Further, it recommends that people in the field redefine their roles from "trainers" to "learning facilitators."On-Target Learning not only explains the Learning Contract process, but also provides practical advice to training groups on how to implement each step. It is full of examples from Dan Tobin's own career and from other companies whose stories Dan has collected over the years from the research he has done for previous books. The chapters on the Learning Contract are followed by a discussion of "Evaluating Your Learning Initiatives."As a bonus, Dan has included a chapter on "Other Lessons Learned." This chapter contains a variety of stories from Dan's career in hope that people currently working in the training/learning/development field can glean some ideas that will be helpful to them in their current jobs and their careers.Training groups often complain that they are not valued by their organizations, that they cannot get "a seat at the planning table." On-Target Learning shows you how to earn that seat at the table.Dan is now semi-retired, doing occasional consulting and speaking engagements. He is the author of seven previous books on corporate learning strategies, and he hopes that On-Target Learning will be his legacy to the field.

Particles in the Coastal Ocean

Particles in the Coastal Ocean

Daniel R. Lynch; David A. Greenberg; Ata Bilgili; Jr McGillicuddy; James P. Manning; Alfredo L. Aretxabaleta

Cambridge University Press
2014
sidottu
The coastal ocean comprises the semi-enclosed seas on the continental shelf, including estuaries and extending to the shelf break. This region is the focus of many serious concerns, including coastal inundation by tides, storm surges or sea level change; fisheries and aquaculture management; water quality; harmful algal blooms; planning of facilities (such as power stations); port development and maintenance; and oil spills. This book addresses modeling and simulation of the transport, evolution and fate of particles (physical and biological) in the coastal ocean. It is the first to summarize the state of the art in this field and direct it toward diverse applications, for example in measuring and monitoring sediment motion, oil spills and larval ecology. This is an invaluable textbook and reference work for advanced students and researchers in oceanography, geophysical fluid dynamics, marine and civil engineering, computational science and environmental science.

Morality at the Ballot

Morality at the Ballot

Daniel R. Biggers

Cambridge University Press
2014
sidottu
Across the United States, there is wide variation in opportunities for citizens to craft legislation through the process of direct democracy. Previous studies suggest that an active role in policy making can spark political interest and engagement, encouraging individuals, who would otherwise abstain from voting, to turn out. Daniel R. Biggers challenges this contention, testing a new theoretical framework that details the exact circumstances under which any proposition might increase participation. Morality at the Ballot reveals that the ability of direct democracy to increase turnout is significantly more limited than currently thought, and that the propositions that do affect participation are restricted to a small subset of ballot issues that include morality policy. Biggers uses these morality propositions to demonstrate the conditions necessary for direct democracy to influence turnout, affect who votes, and shape electoral and policy outcomes. The investigation provides significant insights into the consequences of deciding policy via the ballot and expanding the role for citizens in the political process.
