The Chimera Spider

The Chimera Spider

Robin C Fitzgerald

Lulu.com
2021
pokkari
This short novel is an important one. Without compulsion it rears the question, are there things we shouldn't know of? Is it better we keep our sanity intact by avoiding a pale understanding of what's running unchecked below our feet? On a weekly basis instructions are sent to our resistance fighters from an innocent website known as the portal, (www.2012portal.blogspot.com). They don't have to tell us of these things that lay outside their control, outside their influence. But now we are getting updates of what has been a developing problem, that could surface at any time. The Resistance Movement wants us fully informed, they're not trying to scare the pants off us, but feel we should be prepared in case this new faction gets away from them and becomes a serious problem for humanity. That's why they gave us such a detailed description, and included the origins of this creature, if indeed it is one. Being apprised of the havoc these spiders have created through the annals of time, in no way prepares us for a confrontation similar to the story told herein.

Measurement of Productivity and Efficiency

Measurement of Productivity and Efficiency

Robin C. Sickles; Valentin Zelenyuk

Cambridge University Press
2019
sidottu
Methods and perspectives to model and measure productivity and efficiency have made a number of important advances in the last decade. Using the standard and innovative formulations of the theory and practice of efficiency and productivity measurement, Robin C. Sickles and Valentin Zelenyuk provide a comprehensive approach to productivity and efficiency analysis, covering its theoretical underpinnings and its empirical implementation, paying particular attention to the implications of neoclassical economic theory. A distinct feature of the book is that it presents a wide array of theoretical and empirical methods utilized by researchers and practitioners who study productivity issues. An accompanying website includes methods, programming codes that can be used with widely available software like MATLAB® and R, and test data for many of the productivity and efficiency estimators discussed in the book. It will be valuable to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals.

Childhood's Domain

Childhood's Domain

Robin C. Moore

Routledge
2017
sidottu
Where do children go and what do they do outdoors? How do they evaluate their own environment? What are their likes and dislikes? What would they like to see added or changed? How can the outdoor environment support healthy child development? How is the impact of the environment affected by its social and physical characteristics? How can its developmental impact be strengthened through public policy?These are some of the questions addressed by Childhood’s Domain, originally published in 1986, in which children, as ‘expert’ research collaborators, describe their largely unseen life outdoors. On field trips to secret play places around their homes, in streets, in parks, and in places laid waste and abandoned by adult society, they reveal both the pleasure and difficulties of play in the city. A central concept of the book is a new term, terra ludens, which represents the accumulated developmental support that each child receives from her or his personal play spaces. Terra ludens reflects the degree to which each child acquires an intuitive sense of how the world is by playing with it.Field research for the book was conducted in London, Stevenage New Town and Stoke-on-Trent. Neighbourhood sites were deliberately chosen to contrast and compare children’s reactions to the characteristics of ‘big city’, ‘new town’ and ‘old industrial city’ environments. The most interesting experiences were encountered with children in Stoke-on-Trent. Here, in former mineral workings functioning as ‘playgrounds’ equipped with relics from the heyday of the industrial revolution, in new open spaces reclaimed from industrial ‘wastelands’, and in older parks dating from Victorian times, children demonstrated the creative possibilities of a landscape of opportunities lacking in the other two sites. Even so, children in all three sites revealed great ingenuity in making do with whatever resources they could find to create viable play environments for themselves.

Alumnae Theatre Company

Alumnae Theatre Company

Robin C. Whittaker

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS
2024
sidottu
Delving into previously untapped archival resources, Alumnae Theatre Company traces the history and ongoing impact of North America’s longest-running women-led theatre group, Toronto’s Alumnae Theatre Company. The book illuminates the essential yet downplayed relationships between professional and nonprofessionalizing theatre practices, drawing on primary and secondary sources that have contributed to the practice and scholarship of theatre since the early twentieth century. It uses Alumnae as a case study for recognizing female leadership roles that support the development of theatre artists in Canada. The book considers Alumnae’s historical influences on university philanthropy, intellectual modernism, and Toronto’s expanding theatre ecology. It revisits past eras to focus on four dominant perspectives: theatre spaces, festival competition, new play production, and nonprofessionalizing theatre’s relationship to an emerging profession. The book tethers Alumnae’s alterity to contemporary critical notions of the nonprofessionalizing theatre practitioner as counter-culture revolutionary. It urges scholars and practitioners alike to not take for granted the values and possibilities of contemporary nonprofessionalizing theatre practices. Alumnae Theatre Company also serves as a fascinating history of Toronto through the eyes of its oldest active theatre company.

In the small, orange-blossom and sage-scented town of Ojai, California, where hippies and hipsters mingle, thirty-three-year-old Harper Wild, househusband extraordinaire, works himself to exhaustion. Raised as a lonely latchkey kid without any siblings, he obsesses over being a constant playmate to his daughter. But the seemingly innocent comments he hears daily from friends and strangers alike make it plain that even in this town of alternative lifestyles, raising kids and keeping house doesn't qualify as a "real" job. INTO THE BLACK follows Harper on his quest for respect, triggered when he is forced to temporarily swap roles with his breadwinner wife. He leaves the familiarity of his home and family to spend the summer chasing fires from forest to forest, pushing the limits of physical endurance. But it is the unlikely friendships he makes along the way that help him overcome his own assumptions about the value of being a stay-at-home dad.

The Crafts of Florida's First People

The Crafts of Florida's First People

Robin C. Brown

Pineapple Press Inc.,U.S.
2003
pokkari
There were people living all over Florida for twelve thousand years before Columbus got here. Before hardware stores and shopping malls, these people managed to get food, make clothing, and cook their meals. In The Crafts of Florida's First People, Robin Brown asks, How did they do it? And to answer his question, he actually learns to do things the way they did. Using materials that you can find in Florida today, you can learn with him how to throw spears and darts, make pottery, weave cloth, mix paint, build traps, and even how to start a fire without matches--just the way Florida's first people did it for thousands of years. Each chapter has easy-to-follow, fully illustrated directions. Even if you dont have the natural supplies available in your area, the book includes suggestions for alternative materials so you can still learn their crafts. As you work, you will experience some of the daily life of the ancient peoples of Florida. You will find out not only how to make a spear, but what its construction tells us about how the first people hunted and what animals they ate. The last true Florida native died 200 years ago, but you can help keep their culture alive.

No White Picket Fence

No White Picket Fence

Robin C. Whittaker; Sue Mckenzie-Mohr

Talonbooks
2019
pokkari
A powerful verbatim play about young women's resilience through foster care, No White Picket Fence is drawn from a research project involving in-depth interviews conducted by social work professor Sue McKenzie-Mohr with ten individuals who, as girls, grew up in the foster-care system and now identify in their own ways as living well. The play's dialogue is entirely verbatim - that is, drawn word for word from interview transcripts featuring all of the "word stumbles" (ums, ahs, and incomplete sentences) of regular speech, lending the play its raw, hyperreal feel. No White Picket Fence follows the women's unique stories in their own words from their experiences before being taken into care, through their time in care, into their current lives navigating the world as young adults. Their stories are raw, characterized by times of turmoil and suffering in their original family homes and later during impermanent arrangements in foster care and group homes. And yet these women's stories also highlight their persistent efforts to move toward living well on their own terms. Above all else, these are stories of resistance, resilience, and strength of the human spirit. Their accounts shed light on the urgency for greater and sustained efforts to improve a care system that struggles to meet the basic needs of the youth it is mandated to protect and nurture.

Data Librarian’s Handbook

Data Librarian’s Handbook

Facet Publishing
2016

The importance of data has never been greater. There has been a growing concern with the skills required to exploit the data surfeit; the ability to collect, compute and crunch data, for economic, social and scientific purposes. This book, written by two working data librarians based at the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh aims to help fill this skills gap by providing a nuts and bolts guide to research data support.'The Data Librarian's Handbook' draws on a combination of over 30 years experience providing data support services to create the must-read book for all entrants to this field. This book zooms in to the actual library service level, where the interaction between the researcher and the librarian takes place. Both engaging and practical, this book draws the reader in through story-telling and suggested activities, linking concepts from one chapter to another.This book is for the practising data librarian, possibly new in their post with little experience of providing data support. It is also for managers and policy-makers, public service librarians, research data management coordinators and data support staff. It will also appeal to students and lecturers in iSchools and other library and information degree programmes where academic research support is taught. The importance of data has never been greater.
