CRC Press Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and
Book SynopsisBayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data provides an overview of flexible Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) methods for modeling joint or conditional distributions and functional relationships, and their interplay with causal inference and missing data. This book emphasizes the importance of making untestable assumptions to identify estimands of interest, such as missing at random assumption for missing data and unconfoundedness for causal inference in observational studies. Unlike parametric methods, the BNP approach can account for possible violations of assumptions and minimize concerns about model misspecification. The overall strategy is to first specify BNP models for observed data and then to specify additional uncheckable assumptions to identify estimands of interest.The book is divided into three parts. Part I develops the key concepts in causal inference and missing data and reviews relevant concepts in Bayesian inference. Table of ContentsPart I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Enterprise Health and Wellbeing
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, governments have promoted social enterprise as a means to address welfare and tackle disadvantage. Early academic work on social enterprises reflected this development and engaged with their ability to deliver and create jobs, work towards remedial environmental goals, and address a range of societal challenges. More recently, researchers have started to investigate the broader potential of social enterprise for the wellbeing of people and the planet.In this context, this book aims to answer the question: In what ways can social enterprises improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities? The chapters in this edited collection take different perspectives on assessing how social enterprises address disadvantage and deliver health and wellbeing impacts. Drawing on evidence from international research studies, Social Enterprise, Health, and Wellbeing: Theory, Methods, and Practice presents the first wave' of innovative research on thisTable of Contents1.

Texas A & M University Press The Texas Hill Country: A Photographic Adventure
Book SynopsisLike many Texans, Michael H. Marvins has been making regular pilgrimages to the Hill Country for much of his life. Traveling the back roads of the Texas Hill Country, cameras always poised for action, Marvins has captured the excitement of small-town rodeos, savored the mesquite-smoked atmosphere of local eateries, observed the daily lives of people on the land, and admired the scenic beauty of the landscape and its natural denizens. Most important, he has captured his impressions with the skilled eye of a master photographer.Popular Houston Chronicle columnist Joe Holley opens The Texas Hill Country by highlighting the many qualities that draw Marvins—and so many of the rest of us—to the Hill Country. Next, Roy Flukinger, senior curator of photography at the University of Texas' Harry Ransom Center, discusses Marvins's unique photographic vision and the fresh ways in which he helps us see this popular region.But the principal focus in The Texas Hill Country: A Photographic Adventure centers on Marvins's artful images, inviting readers to share his unique perspectives on this enchanting and popular region. He takes us with him on leisurely backcountry drives and into the laughter and swirl of dance halls. His lens embraces the people, the land, and the culture that keep so many Texans—and would-be Texans—coming back to the Hill Country again and again.

Short Books Ltd The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet: Lose weight fast and
Book Synopsis'A life-changing diet... in 8 weeks you can halt the progress of pre-diabetes and even reverse type 2 diabetes returning blood sugar levels to normal.' - Daily Mail**AS SEEN ON CHANNEL 4**Dr Michael Mosley, author of the bestselling 5:2 Fast Diet, reveals a game-changing approach to one of the greatest silent epidemics of our time - raised blood sugar levels.The food we eat today, high in sugar and easily digestible carbohydrates, is not only making us fat, but is putting us at risk of type 2 diabetes, strokes, dementia, cancer and a lifetime on medication. More than a third of adults in the UK now have raised blood sugar levels and most don't know it.In this timely book, Dr Mosley explains why we pile on dangerous abdominal fat and shows us how to shed it, fast. He demolishes common myths, such as the claim that steady weight loss is always better than rapid weight loss and that those who lose weight rapidly will inevitably put it back on.This is a book not just for those at highest risk but for anyone who has struggled with their weight and wants to regain control of their health.Trade ReviewA brilliant book if you have type 2 diabetes or you don't want to get it.I feel amazing. I have been given another chance at life.Life-changing diet... in 8 weeks you can halt the progress of pre-diabetes and even reverse type 2 diabetes returning blood sugar levels to normal. * Daily Mail *This is potentially a life-changing book for people with raised blood sugar levels as well as those with type 2 diabetes.In this book about the greatest health problem of our time [Dr Michael Mosley] pulls together the latest scientific studies and weaves in moving human stories. If you have raised blood sugar levels or type 2 diabetes and are interested in trying to regain full health, this is the book for you.The 8-week Blood Sugar Diet is the first common sense book on managing your diabetes that offers clear up to date advice on both exercise and diet. This book has a striking and persuasive message: we are in control of own health.As a GP I have been recommending a dietary approach similar to one described in this book for some time. As a result many of my patients have lost weight, become healthier, and we now spend GBP27,000 less per year on drugs for diabetes than the average GP practice in our area.The diet cleaned out my liver and pancreas. It's not so easy for me to gain weight any more. It's as though my body is working metabolically like a young man's again, and I like the person I see in the mirror now.The revelatory claim running throughout this book that type 2 diabetes can not only be prevented but actually reversed is one of the most heartening messages I have have read in a long time. In his clear, un-sensationalist prose, Michael Mosley takes us through the science, theory and evidence behind this claim. If the changes in our diet and lifestyles suggested in this important book were to be taken up I believe it could affect a dramatic change in the nation s health and well-being.

American University in Cairo Press Open Gaza: Architectures of Hope
Book SynopsisCutting-edge analysis on how to improve life inside the Gaza Strip through architecture and design, illustrated in full-colorThe Gaza Strip is one of the most beleaguered environments on earth. Crammed into a space of 139 square miles (360 square kilometers), 1.8 million people live under an Israeli siege, enforcing conditions that continue to plummet to ever more unimaginable depths of degradation and despair. Gaza, however, is more than an endless encyclopedia of depressing statistics. It is also a place of fortitude, resistance, and imagination; a context in which inhabitants go to remarkable lengths to create the ordinary conditions of the everyday and to reject their exceptional status. Inspired by Gaza’s inhabitants, this book builds on the positive capabilities of Gazans. It brings together environmentalists, planners, activists, and scholars from Palestine and Israel, the US, the UK, India, and elsewhere to create hopeful interventions that imagine a better place for Gazans and Palestinians. Open Gaza engages the Gaza Strip within and beyond the logics of siege and warfare, it considers how life can be improved inside the limitations imposed by the Israeli blockade, and outside the idiocy of violence and warfare.Contributors AffiliationsSalem Al Qudwa, Harvard Divinity School and Harvard Kennedy School, Cambridge, USAHadeel Assali, Columbia University, USATareq Baconi, International Crisis Group, Brussels, BelgiumTeddy Cruz, University of California-San Diego, USAFonna Forman, University of California-San Diego, USAM.

Magazine“Open Gaza, which brings together environmentalists, planners, and scholars from Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, the U.S., the UK, India and beyond to share their visions for creating a better place for Gazans and Palestinians.”—Robin Young, NPR’s Here and Now"The book’s essays explore the extant condition of Gaza and its wider socio-political context, and offer speculative designs aimed at wresting back sovereignty and dignity for its residents. It posits that the ad-hoc, low-carbon design techniques that Gazans have developed look ahead to a planet failing to meet the challenges of a climate cataclysm, a global pandemic, and growing inequality."—Bloomberg CityLab"The Gaza of this handsome book is one that transcends the excesses of occupation via imagination and innovation, resilience, and ultimately courage. Open Gaza is a book that dares to subvert the tired old narratives of despair and gives agency to Gaza’s 1.8 million inhabitants via the magic of architectural intervention. And yet . . . the book does not ignore the brutal realities of occupation, but rather, in suggesting solutions both in spite of it and for a hoped-for post-occupation future, underlines them. "—The Markaz Review"An impressive, substantial collection"—Shelf Awareness"Oscillating between the poetic and the academic, the historical and the current, Open Gaza promises to be more than just another installment of armchair solutionism for the oft-discussed but rarely aided Strip."— Metropolis"The book is successful in presenting the reality of Gaza beyond many mainstream representations on this subject."—Contemporary Levant"Gazan architect Salem al Qudwa, a fellow in conflict and peace at the Harvard Divinity School, and contributor to a new book called Open Gaza: Architectures of Hope, has developed a green, flexible, and affordable model for self-built homes in Gaza. They are designed to be constructed on sand and rubble, and can create a 'nurturing and safe environment for women and children, and to empower communities.'"—Architectural Digest"Searching for ways that fortitude, resistance, and imagination can work in an area characterized by unimaginable despair and degradation is the driving logic of this book. . . .Open Gaza is an urgent plea for humanitarianism and imaginative, critical involvement, needs that become more pronounced with each passing day . . . Highly recommended."—CHOICE“By bringing together multiple contributors from different disciplines and specialists engaged in different spatial and environmental practices, Open Gaza counters [an] increasingly sophisticated architecture of brutality with an architecture of hope inspired by the Gaza population’s will to live and remain connected to the world.” —International Journal of Middle East Studies"[T]he authors grapple with the physical siege and geopolitical preconceptions of Gaza, countermapping their way to novel architectural thinking, discourse, and pedagogy. In these collected works, professionals take civil responsibility for the horrors and injustice of the world, reframing students’ studio work as part of a radical pedagogical experiment."—Journal of Palestine Studies“This remarkable collective volume, Open Gaza, includes architectural contributions that imagine a better future, touching accounts of the tragic present, and historical and ethnographic portraits that together enable us to see the community of 2 million people living in the Gaza Strip as they really are and could be, and not as they have been made out to be by the incessant campaign of dehumanization to which they have been subjected. Capacious and enlightening, Open Gaza is a credit to its many authors, and fitting monument to one of its editors, the late Michael Sorkin.” —Rashid Khalidi, author of The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017“Rather than rehearse the statistics and calamities that have marked the abundant coastal enclave for social death, Open Gaza provocatively shows how Gaza continues to be a source of life in its ingenuity, love, and possibilities. Simultaneously, it makes clear that current conditions in Gaza are not inevitable but have been constructed, reproduced, and justified by lawmakers indentured by a political present. From a journey through a network of tunnels, an alternative digital grid, agriculture zones, transportation routes that rehabilitate a fragmented Arab world, this collection of essays is a powerful retort to the tired discourse that has framed Gaza’s future as a security question contingent upon demilitarization and containment. Open Gaza is an exciting invitation into new futures that Gaza and Palestine, more generally, offer for Palestinians and the world.” —Noura Erakat, author of Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine“Twenty years ago, I was part of a group of architects, historians, and activists asked to think about Jerusalem as a single, undivided city. Led by Michael Sorkin, we toured the area and formed a community of practice still operating today in opposition to Israel’s occupation. The results were collated in The Next Jerusalem, and some of its contributors reappear in this volume. In Open Gaza, they are joined by a new generation of practitioners and scholars, who continue this most vital investigation and struggle against the continued Gaza’s continued imprisonment. Their work—both critical and visionary—forms a seed that might one day sprout and bloom when this cruelly dominated and repressed place is free to find its own future.” —Eyal Weizman, founding director of Forensic Architecture“Open Gaza provides an essential contribution to the study of modern Palestine and the greater Mediterranean Basin. The collection succeeds in providing a balance between works that highlight the dismal, wanton destruction of Palestinian lives and those that are underpinned fundamentally by an optimistic, constructive vision of the future. At its heart is a commitment to transforming shared urban spaces into something that materially reflects the boundlessness of Palestinian spirits. The imaginative collection addresses many of the practical questions posed by urban planning. Yet most usefully, these essays cast Gaza as a constituent urban space, interactive with the sites and cities around it. This frame permits the reader to imagine a future that breaks from our present-day reality of ‘containers,’ siege, borders and tunnels.” —Ahmed Moor, CEO of Liwwa, Inc."Gaza’s capabilities are real and its potential realizable. In the practical and energizing ideas found in this volume, Gaza’s well-being—and that of the region as a whole—lies in inclusion and in the promise that such inclusion embodies, which, as is argued, is truly worth pursuing."—Sara Roy, author of The Gaza Strip: the Political Economy of De-developmentTable of ContentsCONTENTSPREFACE Sara RoyINTRODUCTION TerreformGAZA’S SKIN Tareq BaconiARCHITECTURE OF THE EVERYDAY Salem Al QudwaRING CITY: A METROPOLIS —NOT AN ENCLAVE TerreformFOUR TUNNELS Bint al-SirhidTHE QATAN CENTER FOR CHILDREN Omar YousefTIMELESS GAZA Mahdi Sabbagh and Meghan McAllisterABSURD-CITY, SUBVERT-CITY Yara Sharif and Nasser Golzari120 PLANNING RUINATION M.

Archaeopress Pits and Boots: Excavation of Medieval and
Book SynopsisPits and Boots derives from excavations carried out in 2007-8, in advance of an extension to the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen, that uncovered the backlands of an area that would have formed part of the industrial quarter of the medieval town. The site is well-dated by dendrochronology, augmented by artefactual evidence, and indicates activity from the late 12th century AD into the early modern period, with a particularly intensive period in the 13th century. Structural evidence consists primarily of the backland boundaries, hearth/ovens, several wood-lined wells and many large pits. It is the contents of these pits and wells which forms the core of this monograph. The waterlogged conditions within the pits and wells has meant that a remarkable assemblage of organic remains including leather, wooden artefacts, textiles, animal pelts, fibres, and cordage has survived. The leather assemblage is the largest ever to be found in Scotland and has revealed a range of activities associated with the use of animal hides, from hide processing to tanning and shoemaking. The wood assemblage is also extensive and includes bowls, platters, coopered vessels and tools. Metalwork, crucibles, clay mould fragments and ceramics all testify to the industrial nature of the area, while the large quantities of animal and fishbone demonstrate that butchery on an industrial scale took place in the area. The excavation charts the changing nature of this once-peripheral area of Aberdeen, from an industrial zone in the medieval period, to horticultural and domestic spaces in post-medieval times, and has thus greatly enhanced our knowledge of Scottish urban development.Trade Review‘…the monograph provides a clear, well-researched and well-presented account of excavations undertaken in Aberdeen in 2007–8; it examines medieval backland industry followed by later, more affluent domestic occupants; it explores the burgh’s wider trade connections in Britain and beyond; it synthesises a wealth of remarkable organic material; it discusses extraordinary finds such as a late 12th- or early 13th-century stone-and-wooden composite grinding lathe; and it does all this with good photographs and figures throughout, using clear print on quality paper.’ – Brian Ayers (2022): Medieval Archaeology, 65/2, 2021Table of ContentsPreface ; 1 Introduction ; 1.1 Background to the archaeological works ; 1.2 The site and its setting ; 1.3 The archaeological works of 2007–08 ; 1.4 Previous archaeological investigations around Gallowgate and Upperkirkgate ; 1.5 Dating and the chronology of the site ; 1.6 Structure of the monograph ; 1.7 The ceramic assemblage ; 2 Summary of Archaeological Remains by Phase ; 2.1 Introduction ; 2.2 Phase 1 – mid-to-late 12th century (figure 2.3) ; 2.3 Phase 2 – late 12th to mid 13th century (figure 2.14) ; 2.4 Phase 3 – mid-to-late 13th century(figure 2.41) ; 2.5 Phase 4 (early) – late 13th to 14th century (figure 2.53) ; 2.6 Phase 4 (late) – 14th to early 15th century (figure 2.62) ; 2.7 Phase 5 (early) – 15th to 16th century (figure 2.66) ; 2.8 Phase 5 (mid) – 15th to 16th century (figure 2.68) ; 2.9 Phase 5 (late) – 15th/16th to mid-to-late 18th century (figure 2.74) ; 2.10 Phase 6 – mid-to-late 18th to 20th century (figure 2.78) ; 3 Presentation of Artefactual and Ecofactual Evidence by Phase and Feature ; 3.1 Introduction ; 3.2 Phase 1 (mid-to-late 12th century) (figure 2.3) ; 3.3 Phase 2 (late 12th to mid 13th century) (figure 2.14) ; 3.4 Phase 3 (mid-to-late 13th century) (figure 2.41) ; 3.5 Phase 4 (early) (late 13th to 14th century) (figure 2.53) ; 3.6 Phase 4 (late) (14th to early 15th century) (figure 2.63 & Table 3.4) ; 3.7 Phase 5 (early) (15th to 16th century) (figure 2.66) ; 3.8 Phase 5 (mid) (15th to 16th century) (figure 2.68 & Table 3.5) ; 3.9 Phase 5 (late) (15th/16th to mid-to-late 18th century) (figure 2.74 & Table 3.5) ; 4 Specialist Reports – Summaries of the Evidence ; 4.1 Dating evidence ; 4.2 Organic artefacts ; 4.3 Inorganic artefacts ; 4.4 Structural materials ; 4.4.4 Socketed stone ; 4.5 Ecofact analyses ; 5 Discussion: The Site in Its Context ; 5.1 The origins of Upperkirkgate and Gallowgate (phases 1 to 3) ; 5.2 Industrial activity in the medieval gallowgate (phases 1 to 4) ; 5.2.1 Leatherworking and associated processes ; 5.2.2 Other industrial processes ; 5.3 Late medieval and early post-medieval properties (phase 4 to mid phase 5) ; 5.4 Later post-medieval occupation: the gardens of aberdeen (mid-to-late phase 5) ; 5.5 Later post-medieval occupation: houses of the gentry (late phase 5) ; 5.6 The late 18th century onwards: expansion of commerce and industry (phase 6) ; 5.7 Late 19th and 20th century development ; 6 Conclusions ; References ; Appendices ; 1 Radiocarbon dating programme ; 2 Ceramic building materials ; 3 Macroplant remains ; 4 Fish bone ; 5 Ceramics

Partain provide a detailed overview of the law-and-economics methodology developed and employed by environmental lawyers and policymakers. The authors demonstrate how this approach can transcend political divisions in the context of international environmental law, environmental criminal law, and the property rights approach to environmental law. Private law solutions and public regulatory approaches are also explored, including traditional command-and-control and market-based forms of regulation. The book not only shows how the law-and-economics framework can be used to protect the environment, but also to examine deeper questions involving environmental federalism and the effectiveness of environmental law in developing economies.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Gold
Book SynopsisGold remains a highly prized and impactful resource within the global economy. From the insatiable demand for gold in the electronics that permeate our day-to-day lives to the environmental desolation driven by gold mining in the Amazon, the gold trade continues to touch the lives and livelihoods of people across the world. Bloomfield and Maconachie tell the intriguing story of the yellow metal, tracing the seismic shifts in the industry over the past few decades. They show how huge purchases of gold reserves by BRICS countries mark the shifting balance of power away from the West, and how rising affluence in India and China has led to a surging demand for gold jewellery, calling into question current approaches to make supply chains more responsible. Explaining why gold is so difficult to regulate and why it is only becoming more so, the authors suggest ways we could, collectively, make practices work better for the countless workers and communities who suffer at the producer end of the supply chain. Linking local to global, producer to consumer, and gold’s extraction from the Earth to the financial centres that fuel it, this book offers a probing analysis that reveals who wins and who loses and what this means for the future of gold.Trade Review‘Gold traces familiar histories and possible futures of a commodity that is associated with beauty, wealth and yet also so much destruction. Readable, accessible and brimming with insights that keep readers on their toes, the book will be immensely useful for students, teachers and general interest readers alike.’Anthony Bebbington, Clark University ‘Working as modern-day political economy alchemists, Bloomfield and Maconachie mobilise their deep expertise to explain why it is so difficult to turn gold mining into valuable forms of development.’Philippe Le Billon, University of British Columbia and author of Wars of Plunder

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Gold
Book SynopsisGold remains a highly prized and impactful resource within the global economy. From the insatiable demand for gold in the electronics that permeate our day-to-day lives to the environmental desolation driven by gold mining in the Amazon, the gold trade continues to touch the lives and livelihoods of people across the world. Bloomfield and Maconachie tell the intriguing story of the yellow metal, tracing the seismic shifts in the industry over the past few decades. They show how huge purchases of gold reserves by BRICS countries mark the shifting balance of power away from the West, and how rising affluence in India and China has led to a surging demand for gold jewellery, calling into question current approaches to make supply chains more responsible. Explaining why gold is so difficult to regulate and why it is only becoming more so, the authors suggest ways we could, collectively, make practices work better for the countless workers and communities who suffer at the producer end of the supply chain. Linking local to global, producer to consumer, and gold’s extraction from the Earth to the financial centres that fuel it, this book offers a probing analysis that reveals who wins and who loses and what this means for the future of gold.Trade Review‘Gold traces familiar histories and possible futures of a commodity that is associated with beauty, wealth and yet also so much destruction. Readable, accessible and brimming with insights that keep readers on their toes, the book will be immensely useful for students, teachers and general interest readers alike.’Anthony Bebbington, Clark University ‘Working as modern-day political economy alchemists, Bloomfield and Maconachie mobilise their deep expertise to explain why it is so difficult to turn gold mining into valuable forms of development.’Philippe Le Billon, University of British Columbia and author of Wars of Plunder

Book SynopsisSheds light on the ideological connections between the European ‘spirit of 1848’ and US radical abolitionism and reveals the scope of cosmopolitan solidarities available to fugitives of different national and racial origins in the mid-nineteenth-century Atlantic world.Trade ReviewEscapes from Cayenne sends readers on an emotional roller coaster, resonating with bitter tragedies and unexpected triumphs, curious characters and exciting plot twists. Chautard is a gifted writer with an authentic voice that captures the utopian longing and political seriousness that Roy ascribes to the French romantic-socialist tradition." - Mischa Honeck, author of We Are the Revolutionists: German-Speaking Immigrants and American Abolitionists after 1848"This excellent republication of the forgotten narrative of the French socialist-abolitionist Léon Chautard is long overdue. Michaël Roy's wonderful introduction carefully delineates the interconnections between French republicanism and American abolitionism. He adeptly situates the story of Chautard's and his compatriot's political exile in the Americas, supplemented with the response of abolitionists like Garrison and Douglass, in transnational radicalism. This book would be a useful in courses on American as well as French nineteenth-century history and the history of abolition. I cannot recommend it enough." - Manisha Sinha, author of The Slave's Cause: A History of Abolition"Michaël Roy has done such an extraordinary job of recovering a lost history of abolitionism and socialism, I feel like inventing a new course just so I can teach his rich, exciting book!" - Marcus Rediker, author of The Fearless Benjamin Lay: The Quaker Dwarf Who Became the First Revolutionary Abolitionist

Island Press Making Sense of Intractable Environmental
Book SynopsisDespite a vast amount of effort and expertise devoted to them, many environmental conflicts have remained mired in controversy, stubbornly defying resolution. Why can some environmental problems be resolved in one locale but remain contentious in another, often carrying on for decades? What is it about certain issues or the people involved that make a conflict seemingly insoluble? This volume addresses these and related questions, examining what researchers and experts in the field characterize as "intractable" disputes - intense disputes that persist over long periods of time and cannot be resolved through consensus-building efforts or by administrative, legal, or political means. The approach focuses on the "frames" parties use to define and enact the dispute - the lenses through which they interpret and understand the conflict and critical conflict dynamics. Through analysis of interviews, news media coverage, meeting transcripts, and archival data, the contributors to the book: examine the concepts of frames, framing, and reframing, and the role that framing plays in conflicts; outline the essential characteristics of intractability and its major causes; offer case studies of eight intractable environmental conflicts; present a body of original interview material from affected parties; and set forth recommendations for intervention that can help resolve disputes. Within each case chapter, the authors describe the historical development and fundamental nature of the conflict and then analyze the case from the perspective of the key frames that are integral to understanding the dynamics of the dispute. They also offer cross-case analyses of related conflicts. Conflicts examined include those over natural resource use, toxic pollutants, water quality, and growth. Specific conflicts examined include the Quincy Library Group in California; Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota; Edwards Aquifer in Texas; Doan Brook in Cleveland, Ohio; the Antidegradation Environmental Advisory Group in Ohio; Drake Chemical in Pennsylvania; Alton Park/Piney Woods in Tennessee; and three examples of growth-related conflicts along the Front Range of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
