Who Cares About Wildlife?

Who Cares About Wildlife?

Michael J. Manfredo

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2008
nidottu
Who Cares About Wildlife? integrates social science theory in order to provide a conceptual structure for understanding and studying human interaction with wildlife. A thorough review of the current literature in conceptual areas, including norms, values, attitudes, emotions, wildlife value orientations, cultural change, and evolutionary forces/inherited tendencies is provided, and the importance of these areas in studying human-wildlife relationships is highlighted. No other book both considers the human relationship with wildlife and provides a theoretical framework for understanding this relationship on the individual, as well as cultural level. Who Cares About Wildlife? will be valuable both to students and to practitioners in wildlife management and conservation, as well those interested in the human relationship with wildlife, natural resources, and the environment.

Enriched and Impoverished Environments

Enriched and Impoverished Environments

Michael J. Renner; Mark R. Rosenzweig

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
1987
nidottu
Enriched and Impoverished Environments: Effects on Brain and Behaviour is the most recent review of the active area of neuronal plasticity. The question of how experience is recorded is fundamental to psychology; speculations and investigations concerning the role of the brain in this process have entered a particularly exciting phase as of the late 1980's. Manipulations of environmental complexity is one of the earliest methods utilized in the study of neural plasticity. This monograph organizes the evidence to date concerning the responsiveness of neural and behavioural systems to external manipulation of the environment. Further consideration is given to the issues of causation of the general effects of environment on brain and behaviour.

Self-Change: Strategies for Solving Personal Problems

Self-Change: Strategies for Solving Personal Problems

Michael J. Mahoney

W. W. Norton Company
1891
nidottu
The subject of this book is how to acquire the skill, or set of skills, that may be most important to your enjoyment and sense of accomplishment in adult life: the ability to deal effectively with crisis, change, and stress. Problem-solving skills can be learned by virtually everyone, and by doing so, the individual can change unacceptable behavior patterns. Michael Mahoney outlines a sequence of seven specific steps to help clarify a given problem, its causes, and its solution. Each step is developed in a separate chapter with appropriate examples and case histories. The strategy is almost infinitely flexible, and can be applied to such diverse situations as controlling anxiety, giving up smoking, and relieving sleep disorders.

Permanent Weight Control

Permanent Weight Control

Michael J. Mahoney; Kathryn Mahoney; Henry A. Jordan

WW Norton Co
1985
nidottu
This is not simply a “do” or “don’t” book, but rather a book directed at helping you to learn about yourself. It is based on principles derived from the careful work of scores of researchers who have studied the behavior and attitudes of overweight individuals. The major thrust of the book is to help you explore your patterns of behavior and thought, to experiment with change, to test consequences, and to incorporate new behaviors and thoughts into your everyday life. “Perhaps the best common sense, effective solution to the problem of weight control that has yet been published … Well written and documented by an impressive list of references.” —Best Sellers

Direct Digital Control for Building HVAC Systems

Direct Digital Control for Building HVAC Systems

Michael J. Coffin

Chapman and Hall
1998
sidottu
Since the publication of the first edition in 1992, the HVAC industry has gone through enormous changes.

Care of the Long-Stay Elderly Patient

Care of the Long-Stay Elderly Patient

Michael J. Denham

Nelson Thornes Ltd
1990
nidottu
Since the first edition of this book was published there have been considerable changes in continuing care. NHS nursing homes have been created, enthusiasts have developed new initiatives, and attempts have been made to improve attitudes. The recent White Paper on Community Care is likely to accelerate the transfer of large numbers of elderly patients from long-stay hospital beds to private-sector accommodation: a move often accompanied by much anxiety about standards of care. Although Health Authorities visit private nursing homes and apply the National Association of Health Authorities' standards to them, anxieties continue. Unfortunately for the patients who remain in hospital, many Health Authorities seem reluctant to apply these same standards to their own long-stay departments, since many would fail abysmally. The 1987 annual report of the Health Advisory Service (see Chapter 3) presents a damning indictment of the care given to old people: A recent review of twelve consecutive HAS Reports on services for older people in hospitals shows that long-stay wards consistently offered environments which were unable to offer privacy, homely surroundings, personal space and possessions or adequate furniture. In the twelve districts there was not one comprehensive personalised clothing service. Half of the reports commented on the lack of effec­ tive management of continence. Catering was often provided according to the needs of the institution rather than those of the resident patients.

Problem Solving in Business and Management

Problem Solving in Business and Management

Michael J. Hicks

International Thomson Business Press
1991
nidottu
The main aim of this book is to provide an introduction to a range of problem-solving skills required by students and practitioners in business and management. It forms a practical guide with illustrative examples of the identification and resolving of problems. There is coverage and explanation of each of the three major approaches to problem solving and decision making: creative, rational (logical) and systematic (soft systems). The author not only shows how these approaches can be applied individually, but also offers a synthesis for their use together in a range of situations and organizations. The book assumes no previous knowledge, but is designed to provide sufficient rigour and analysis to satisfy degree and postgraduate introductory-level requirements. It may also prove of some use to practising managers, engineers and professionals wishing to develop their problem-solving skills.

Insect Conservation Biology (Conservation Biology, No 2)

Insect Conservation Biology (Conservation Biology, No 2)

Michael J. Samways

Chapman and Hall
1993
sidottu
Insects are the major component of the world's biodiversity. By their vast numbers of both species and individuals, they are vital determinants of the terrestrial ecological processes. Quantitatively, insects are important pointers for the species-rich geographical areas. Qualitatively, they are also important, whether the subjects of conservation themselves or as tools for identifying biotic areas with high endemism. "Insect Conservation Biology" covers a wide range of topics from single species to landscape conservation, and from rare butterflies to the benefits-and-risks of biocontrol agents. The approach is both positive and realistic, with insects being discussed in the contexts of sustainable development, agroecology and monitoring environmental change. Ethical issues surrounding insects are also considered as well as preservation technology and restoration ecology. Conservation circles have given too little attention to the ecological significance of insects, while entomologists have been employed mostly to control a tiny minority of species of insect pests. The realms of conservationist and entomologist are brought together in this book. This book should be of interest to conservation managers/biologists, entomologists, ecologists, and environmental scientists interested in biological diversity.

Quality Assurance Management

Quality Assurance Management

Michael J. Fox

CHAPMAN AND HALL
1993
nidottu
"Quality Assurance Management" provides a comprehensive introduction and reference source to this increasingly important area of business activity. It should prove a useful tool for managers working in companies attempting to gain ISO9000/BS5750 recognition of their quality system and developing a total quality management culture. Key issues and the latest developments are clearly and simply explained, with the relative pros and cons of the alternative strategies objectively evaluated. Specialized techniques are explained with the non-specialist in mind, so that the reader can assess the situation before discussing its managerial and technical implications. Michael J. Fox draws on his practical consultancy experience and the best current thinking from experts in USA, Great Britain and Japan. Major concepts covered include: customer care; risk minimization; quality-related costs; best practice benchmarking; and "robust" design and "six-sigma" manufacturing. The managerial implications of these issues are reinforced with plenty of practical guidance in the form of checklists, worked examples and sources of further technical information.

Gladstone and the Liberal Party

Gladstone and the Liberal Party

Michael J. Winstanley

Routledge
1990
nidottu
With a public career spanning 62 years, Gladstone dominated the Victorian political arena. Yet he remains an enigmatic figure; a high Anglican, Tory protectionist who became leader of the Liberals, a party associated with free trade and religious Nonconformity. Michael Winstanley examines both Gladstone and the environment in which he operated, concentrating in particular on the political and social composition of the party which he led. He argues that the parliamentary `Gladstonian Liberals' were far from unqualified supporters of Gladstone and that much of his power was derived from his popularity amongst the electorate. He concludes with an assessment of Gladstone's achievements and his political legacy.

Narrative

Narrative

Michael J Toolan

Routledge
2001

Narrative explores a range of written, spoken, literary and non-literary narratives. It shows what systematic attention to language can reveal about the narratives themselves, their tellers, and those to whom they are addressed. Topics examined include plot structure, time manipulations, point of view, oral narratives and children's stories. This classic text has been substantially rewritten to incorporate recent developments in theory and new technologies, and to make it more usable as a course book. New materials include sections on film, surprise and suspense, and online news stories. The section on children's narratives has been updated, and the discussion of newspaper stories incorporates contemporary examples. There are new exercises which relate closely to the chapter content and new sections on further reading.

Divine Command Ethics

Divine Command Ethics

Michael J. Harris

Routledge
2003
sidottu
The central aim of this book is to attempt to determine the response of the classic texts of Jewish traditions to the famous dilemma posed in Plato's Euthyphro: Does God freely determine morality, or is morality independent of God?The author argues that the picture that emerges from Jewish texts is significantly more complex and nuanced than most of the contemporary Jewish philosophical literature is prepared to concede. While providing an extensive discussion of the perspective of Jewish tradition on divine command ethics, this book develops a position that is distinct from and critical of other views that have recently been advanced in Jewish scholarship. At the same time, the book provides a substantial analysis of some Christian perspectives on divine command ethics. Relevant biblical, rabbinic and later Jewish texts are discussed, as well as some of the relevant views that have been taken in philosophical literature and in Christian and Jewish thought.
