Literature: history & criticismJanuary 2017Conversions
Gender and religious change in early modern Europe
by Edited by Simon Ditchfield, Helen Smith
Conversions is the first collection to explicitly address the intersections between sexed identity and religious change in the two centuries following the Reformation. Chapters deal with topics as diverse as convent architecture and missionary enterprise, the replicability of print and the representation of race. Bringing together leading scholars of literature, history and art history, Conversions offers new insights into the varied experiences of, and responses to, conversion across and beyond Europe. A lively Afterword by Professor Matthew Dimmock (University of Sussex) drives home the contemporary urgency of these themes and the lasting legacies of the Reformations. Of interest to scholars of early modern history, literature, and architectural history, this collection will appeal to anyone interested in the vexed history of religious change, and the transformations of both masculine and feminine identity.

January 2019Transition Metals, Second Edition
by Monica Halka, Ph.D., and Brian Nordstrom, Ed.D.
More so than any of the other major groups of elements in the periodic table, the transition metals have shaped human history and have been the workhorses of industry. The discovery of metallic copper ended the Stone Age and ushered in the Bronze Age. Alloys of iron (especially steel) later took over, and the Iron Age replaced the Bronze Age. Copper, silver, and gold—and, more recently, platinum—have been the precious metals from which coins and jewelry have been made from ancient times to the present. Each chapter in the newly updated, full-color Transition Metals, Second Edition discusses a group of elements, including their similarities and differences and current research and applications. Ideal for high school or college students interested in chemistry and physics, this straightforward resource is devoted to the chemical and physical properties of transition metals and how they are useful in everyday life. Some of the transition metals covered include scandium, titanium, manganese, cobalt, and zinc.

Humanities & Social Sciences2018Conversations about Ukraine
by Yaroslav Hrytsak, Izabella Khruslinska
This is the third book in a series of conversations between Iza Khruslinska and Ukrainian intellectuals. The first two books were with Oksana Zabuzhko and Yosyf Zisels. The one with Yaroslav Hrytsak, although, is chronologically the first book. It was first published in Polish language in 2009. The main topic of the conversation with Yaroslav Hrytsak is the suitability of history for understanding what is going on in Ukraine in recent decades. Special emphasis is placed on Ukraine's relations with its historical neighbors – Poles and Russians, as well as Ukrainian-Jewish relations. But first of all, it is about the historical dimension of the current problems and challenges that Ukraine is facing - and to what extent knowledge of history makes it possible to understand future development scenarios. Since the Polish edition was published almost ten years ago, many things in this book have been rethought and rewritten, in particular, a new chapter has appeared on the development of events over the most recent decade.

Literature & Literary Studies2020The Apocrypha. Four Conversations About Lesya Ukrainka
by Oksana Zabuzhko, His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk
This book was published to commemorate 150 years from the birth of the classic Ukrainian author Lesya Ukrainka. It is based on transcripts of conversations between Oksana Zabuzhko and His Beatitude Svyatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The works of Lesya Ukrainka, included in the second part of the book, are the main topic of their conversation, namely how the stories from evangelical and early Christian history formed the basis of her later work. Ukrainka's work was praised by the Soviet authorities for its socalled atheism but was censored from being staged in the theatres. Ukrainka's spiritual journey during the last twelve years of her life, her interpretation of the images of Judas and Christ, the cult of martyrdom, and the female role in the Christian context are thoroughly analysed in Zabuzhko and Shevchuk's conversations. Zabuzhko built a dialogue between Christianity, and what Soviet and post-Soviet critics called atheism that was in reality a conflict with synodal Orthodoxy.

Tourism industrySeptember 2005Monitoring for a Sustainable Tourism Transition
The Challenge of Developing and Using Indicators
by Graham Miller, Louise Twining-Ward
Sustainable tourism is not a static target, but a dynamic process of change, a transition. This book considers how monitoring using indicators can assist tourism to make such a sustainability transition. It encourages the reader to view tourism from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective and draws on material from a wide range of sources. The book explains why monitoring is important for different groups of stakeholders; public and private sector, NGOs and communities. It also examines important monitoring considerations such as what and where to measure, how much will monitoring cost and how the data can be presented. The book puts particular emphasis on indicator use and implementation. It highlights the process and techniques to develop and use indicators and then provides clear and detailed examples of monitoring in practice around the globe at different geographic scales.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2021Religion and life cycles in early modern England
by Caroline Bowden, Emily Vine, Tessa Whitehouse
Religion and life cycles in early modern England assembles scholars working in the fields of history, English literature and art history to further our understanding of the intersection between religion and the life course in the period c. 1550-1800. Featuring chapters on Catholic, Protestant and Jewish communities, it encourages cross-confessional comparison between life stages and rites of passage that were of religious significance to all faiths in early modern England. The book considers biological processes such as birth and death, aspects of the social life cycle including schooling, coming of age and marriage and understandings of religious transition points such as spiritual awakenings and conversion. Through this inclusive and interdisciplinary approach, it seeks to show that the life cycle was not something fixed or predetermined and that early modern individuals experienced multiple, overlapping life cycles.

Sport & leisure industriesJune 2004Tourism and Transition
Governance, Transformation and Development
by D Hall
This volume presents current research on the roles and importance of tourism and its interrelationships with governance and development in societies that are moving or have moved from 'authoritarian' to liberal democratic economic and political models, and those adjusting to the accession requirements of an enlarged European Union. The geographical coverage ranges across Central and Eastern Europe, the Central and Eastern Mediterranean, Central Asia, China, and South Africa, and the identification of common themes and frameworks is a distinguishing characteristic of the book.
