Teaching Climate History

Alan J. Singer

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2021
nidottu
Welcome to the Anthropocene. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, human-caused climate change has impacted the globe with the burning of fossil fuels. The debate in classrooms and the political realm should not be whether climate change is happening or how much it places human civilization at risk but over how societies and individuals should respond. This interdisciplinary book offers an in-depth examination of the history of the Earth’s climate and how historians and citizens can influence contemporary climate debate and activism.The author explains climate history and climate science and makes this important subject matter accessible to a general audience. Chapter topics include examining the Earth’s geological past, the impact of climate on human evolution, the impact of climate on earlier civilizations, climate activism, and the need for international cooperation. Presenting climate history, human history, and climate science in a readable format and featuring resources for students, this book is meant for use by teachers in high school elective or an introductory college course setting.

Laboratory Manual for Geotechnical Characterization of Fine-Grained Soils

Laboratory Manual for Geotechnical Characterization of Fine-Grained Soils

Alan J. Lutenegger

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
This manual presents procedures for performing advanced laboratory tests on fine-grained soils. It covers characterization tests, which determine soil composition and quantify the individual components of a soil, and behavioral tests, such as the Atterberg Limits tests that demonstrate how the fines fraction of a soil reacts when mixed with water and the Linear Shrinkage Test that demonstrates how much a soil shrinks.The material goes beyond traditional evaluation of basic soil behavior by presenting more advanced laboratory tests to characterize soil in more detail. These tests provide detailed compositional characteristics which identify subtle changes in conditions and vertical variations in the soil, and which help to explain unusual behavior. A unique compilation of information on key soil tests Combines characterization tests with behavior testsThe book suits graduate students in geotechnical engineering, as well as practitioners and researchers.

The Making of Australia's Gold Coast

The Making of Australia's Gold Coast

Alan J. Blackman

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
Blackman draws on original material and the work of many earlier researchers to paint a verbal picture of the evolution of a remarkable city. In an easy-to-read style, he highlights some of the conditions, key events, and individuals that have led to the development of Australia’s Gold Coast.The story of the City of Gold Coast is more than just any story. It describes the growth of Australia’s sixth-largest city, the nation’s most populous city that is not a state capital. A city of more than 600,000, it has grown at a rate of four per cent yearly since the 1950s. It sustains a growth rate well ahead of its infrastructure and its economy’s capacity to provide full-time employment to the many new arrivals. A city heavily reliant on tourism and construction, it is regularly subjected to the boom and bust of a fickle world economy. But it continues to expand and evolve. And, like so many coastal towns worldwide, this Gold Coast may soon be threatened by the tides. This book is essential for students, researchers, anyone interested in industry and urban development and those seeking to understand the city where they live, work, and play.

The Origins of the Popular Press in England

The Origins of the Popular Press in England

Alan J. Lee

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
sidottu
The early 19th century struggles first for a free, and then for a cheap press were fought out in classically liberal ideological terms, and by typically nineteenth century organisations, based on the model of the Anti-Corn Law League. Originally published in 1976, this book begins by showing how these struggles culminated in the emergence of a cheap daily press in the 1860s. The book shows how this development was also dependent on technical, economic and commercial changes, which gradually transformed the press from predominantly small-scale craft production to large-scale industrial production for a large and increasingly homogenous. market. The book discusses the ways in which these industrial developments came increasingly to hamper the attainment of the earlier classical liberal vision of the cheap press. The rise and fall of the provincial penny daily, the growing emphasis upon profits, the increasing professionalisation of journalism, and the style and content of the ‘new journalism’ were all indicative of the impact of economic growth upon that liberal vision. Nowhere were these changes felt more than in politics and the changing relationship between the press and politics, and politicians and the electorate forms the last part of the book.

Jorm: Thayan Chronicles Book 1

Alan J. Bayman

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
I awoke with a tapping, a nagging distant truth unknown to me, gnawing at the embers within my mind and soul, until I dragged myself from the muck of the Udenfold canals and into a duel with a necromancer. I am undead, I am unknown to even myself and left with a powerful urge to understand Miasma, the currents that flow in the art of necromancy, coursing within my empty flesh and throughout these dangerous lands. I see the further undercurrents, the downtrodden and the injustice plaguing those around me, but there is hope if one is willing to learn, fight and heal. I am Jorm...and trust my very words...as swiftly as I recount my story, quill to scroll, I will bend this Kingdom until my past and my purpose for suffering this nightmare of an undead existence is brought into the light.

Bad Old Days

Bad Old Days

Alan J. Levine

Routledge
2017
nidottu
For many, especially those on the political left, the 1950s are the "bad old days." The widely accepted list of what was allegedly wrong with that decade includes the Cold War, McCarthyism, racial segregation, self-satisfied prosperity, and empty materialism. The failings are coupled with ignoring poverty and other social problems, complacency, conformity, the suppression of women, and puritanical attitudes toward sex. In all, the conventional wisdom sees the decade as bland and boring, with commonly accepted people paralyzed with fear of war, Communism, or McCarthyism, or all three.Alan J. Levine, shows that the commonly accepted picture of the 1950s is flawed. It distorts a critical period of American history. That distortion seems to be dictated by an ideological agenda, including an emotional obsession with a sentimentalized version of the 1960s that in turn requires maintaining a particular, misleading view of the post-World War II era that preceded it. Levine argues that a critical view of the 1950s is embedded in an unwillingness to realistically evaluate the evolution of American society since the 1960s. Many--and not only liberals and those further to the left--desperately desire to avoid seeing, or admitting, just how badly many things have gone in the United States since the 1960s.Bad Old Days shows that the conventional view of the 1950s stands in opposition to the reality of the decade. Far from being the dismal prelude to a glorious period of progress, the postwar period of the late 1940s and 1950s was an era of unprecedented progress and prosperity. This era was then derailed by catastrophic political and economic misjudgments and a drastic shift in the national ethos that contributed nothing, or less than nothing, to a better world.

Business Decision Making

Business Decision Making

Alan J. Baker

Routledge
2018
sidottu
Originally published in 1981. Risk is a problem which all business decision makers have to cope with. The problem is not insurmountable, however, as there now exist well-established techniques for minimising risk and for calculating which of various available options is the optimal one to pursue. This book outlines and discusses these techniques and the theories behind them. Unlike many economic theories which only rarely have any practical applications, the techniques put forward in this book can be used by real businessmen to solve real business problems. The book concentrates on decision-making in two main areas: the allocation of a firm’s resources and the selection of new investments; and the techniques and theories discussed fall into three broad groups: linear programming, decision theory and capital market theory. Intended as an advanced undergraduate textbook for students taking business economics or managerial economics courses, this valuable book will interest specialists and students involved in management studies, microeconomics, strategic planning, operational research, accounting and MBA programmes.
