Assembling the Archipelago: Heritage in Energy Transitions and Climate Action (Routledge Environmental Humanities)
by Marilena MelaThis book explores the potential of heritage to enact sustainable human–environment relationships across geographical differences. It does so by travelling to four archipelagoes: the Wadden Islands in the Netherlands, the Cyclades in Greece, Shetland in Scotland, and the Aeolian Islands in Italy. In the face of planetary socioenvironmental crises, the reliance on sustainable development strategies, including the energy transition, on technocratic, top-down solutions fail to counterbalance global agendas of extraction and growth and address environmental injustices in "peripheral" places. This book stresses the need to "think small," arguing that seeds for meaningful change exist in such places and the geographically and historically situated relationships between people and environments. Islands, interconnected yet autonomous places with unique histories, are good places to start. In four archipelagoes, frictions produced both by climate change and climate mitigation ―the fragile consensus around a solar park in the Wadden Sea, conflicts around wind turbine towers in the Aegean, experiments with the tides in Shetland, and volcanic episodes in the Aeolian―come in dialogue with the learning potential of their environmental and cultural heritage. The counterposing of these stories renegotiates established discourses of heritage and sustainability and the associated courses of action in policy and planning.This contribution will resonate with academics, students, policymakers, and activists in heritage studies, environmental humanities, landscape studies, science and technology studies, and sustainability. Readers are invited to participate in the life and troubles of four island landscapes, and to think along on emergent, archipelagic claims towards sustainable and just futures.
Assessing Students with Poetry Writing Across Content Areas: Humanizing Formative Assessment for Grades 6-12
by Kim Johnson Sarah J. Donovan Anna J. Roseboro Barbara Edler Gayle SandsAssessing Students with Poetry Writing Across Content Areas reimagines formative assessment by advocating for a dynamic, poetic approach that delves into students’ meaning-making processes. It is a guide for teachers seeking innovative approaches to formative assessment, promoting a holistic, creative, reflective, and collaborative learning environment. It challenges the limitations of traditional worksheets and quizzes, urging educators to move beyond seeking restrictive answers and embrace students’ texts as pathways to understanding.The authors put forward poetry as a vigorous tool and writing poetry as an act to foster deep learning across content areas. Practical examples of acrostic poems, haiku, and pantoum demonstrate the adaptability of poetic forms to diverse subjects. Through adaptable lesson plans that can be used across history, math, world languages, ELA, and science, the book encourages intentional poetic writing-to-learn activities and explores how poetry might present itself as a short, creative assessment tool that helps teachers see what their students know and can do while also offering them the space to make new meaning in their original poetry.This book is a key resource for in-service educators teaching grades 6-12.
Assessment of Risks Related to Wellbore Safety in Deepwater Drilling
by Yuqiang XuThis book divides the wellbore into two parts based on the characteristics of deepwater drilling engineering: the section from sea level to the subsea wellhead and the section below the mud line. Above the subsea wellhead is connected a blowout preventer and a long riser, while below is a series of casings, causing the subsea wellhead to bear stress from both the upper and lower parts simultaneously, posing a risk of instability in a complex stress environment; Although the construction below the mud line in deepwater drilling is not significantly different from land drilling, there are still challenges such as deep water depth, low temperature, narrow safety density window, shallow geological hazards, natural gas hydrates, and difficulty in determining drilling geological parameters, which greatly increase the risk of drilling engineering. On the basis of systematically explaining the basic theories and methods of the subsea wellhead mechanical stability, wellbore temperature and pressure field calculation during gas kick, prediction of natural gas hydrate generation, and casing program design method and so on, this book analyzes those with higher risks such as wellhead instability, gas kick and blowout, gas hydrate generation and casing program design. And the characteristics and influence rules of uncertain parameters and empirical coefficients are analyzed emphatically by using methods such as probability statistics, and the risk assessment methods of deepwater drilling related to the wellhead and wellbore safety which consider the uncertain parameters are established. This will be of great significance for risk prevention and control in deepwater drilling, optimizing deepwater drilling design and construction plans, improving the lifespan and investment returns of deepwater oil and gas wells, and promoting the development of deepwater drilling technology.

Asymmetry and Markedness Theory I: Affirmation and Negation (Chinese Linguistics)
by Shen JiaxuanThis first volume explores asymmetry in language by examining how affirmative and negative constructions reveal markedness phenomena.Building on the focus of the larger set, this volume first introduces the theoretical framework and key concepts of markedness theory and then applies them to affirmation-negation dynamics. It discusses unmarked versus marked negation, polarity words, and the gradual weakening of affirmative-negative contrasts, showing how these patterns reflect deeper connections between language, cognition, and semantics.This volume will benefit linguists, language educators, and researchers interested in language structure and function, particularly in Chinese linguistics, markedness theory, and cross-linguistic inquiry.
Asymmetry and Markedness Theory II: Form and Meaning (Chinese Linguistics)
by Shen JiaxuanThis second volume examines asymmetry in language by focusing on how linguistic form and meaning align or diverge.Building on the concepts introduced in Volume 1, this volume analyzes symmetry and asymmetry in form-meaning relations using examples from antonym pairs, subject-object contrasts, and the markedness patterns of adjectives. It integrates several linguistic levels, emphasizing how functional and cognitive factors drive these phenomena. The concluding discussion posits that asymmetry persists as a core feature of language, whereas symmetry is conditional and transient.This volume will appeal to linguists, language educators, and anyone seeking deeper insights into linguistic structure and function, particularly in Chinese linguistics, markedness research, and comparative language studies.

Athens: Notes on Urban Immanence (Built Environment City Studies)
by Stavros KousoulasFocusing on the city of Athens, this book examines architecture as something that produces culture and ideology — rather than the opposite. Therefore, this book aims to complement architectural and urban theories that are based only on historical overviews or typological assumptions; to do so, it boldly opens architectural discourse to philosophy, affect theory, and social and cognitive sciences.By examining Athens after its denomination as Greek capital in 1834, the moments, actors, and transformations that assist the individuation of the Athenian urban ecologies are problematised. Opting for theoretical speculations, the readers will witness architecture as a collective equipment that produces modes of life that can either enhance or diminish our collective potentials. As such, the ambition of this book is to provide the theoretical and methodological groundings for thorough extrapolations on how new collectivities can be produced.Readers of this book will be exposed to a transdisciplinary approach that identifies and addresses shared problems and concerns regarding the production of contemporary urban environments. This book will also explore theoretical innovations that can inform and trigger new ways of speculative thinking and offers a non-reductionist account of the development of Athens from the perspective of multiple architectural technicities. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of architecture, architectural theory, architectural history, and philosophy.

Austerity (Key Ideas)
by Bruno De OliveiraAusterity is a concise, accessible overview of austerity policies, their impact on society, and possible alternatives for more just and equitable economic policies. Drawing on a range of global case studies, it encourages critical analysis of the core principles and theories of austerity.Bruno De Oliveira goes beyond budget cuts and dismantling of public services to consider austerity as a profound ideological shift that has reconfigured modern economies and societies. Austerity offers an analysis of austerity’s theoretical foundations, policy implications, and social consequences. Examination of critical thinkers such as Marx, Hayek, Friedman, Maynard Keynes, Foucault, and Bourdieu helps contextualise debates around austerity and provide a lens through which to analyse its impacts. It illuminates the human cost of fiscal austerity, examining its impact on the welfare system, social unrest, crime, and justice and on public health outcomes. Illustrated by global case studies, it considers how austerity, catalysed by the 2008 global financial crisis, has stalled economic recovery with significant implications for global social justice. Vitally, it considers the political and media discourses that often accompany austerity policies, examining how they demonise certain social groups, legitimise social inequalities, and divert attention from the structural causes of inequality. Finally, it explores alternatives to austerity, presenting policy solutions that prioritise social investment and economic justice and showcasing examples of resistance, advocacy, and activism.Austerity is an essential guide for students, scholars, and activists interested in social and economic policies and their impact. It will equip them with the tools and insight necessary to understand and challenge the impacts of austerity.
Australian Cultural Policy Unravelled: The Digital Demise of National Television Drama (Routledge Studies in Media and Cultural Industries)
by Anna Potter Marion McCutcheonThis book explores the impacts of digitization and sector internationalization on national drama production and their consequences for industry, audiences, and domestic storytelling. Using Australia as a case study, it provides a systematic evaluation of the efficacy of cultural policy intended to support the production and circulation of national drama from 2001–2024.During the first two decades of the 21st century, new digital distribution technologies transformed the business of television worldwide, bringing conditions of abundance that ended mass media logics grounded in scarcity of content and providers. Digitization upended longstanding norms around the funding, production, and circulation of national television drama radically changing the ecosystem that had shaped Australian screen industry cultural policies.This book’s analysis of the responses of policymakers, broadcasters, production companies, and screen agencies to television’s transformation evaluates their collective impacts on Australian television drama. It explains how 21st-century dynamics undermined cultural policy supporting the production of Australian drama with cultural value, leading to catastrophic falls in productions hours and titles. This book argues that the scale of disruption caused by digitization causes to transnational and national television urgently requires a bold re-imagining of cultural policy instruments intended to support the production of national drama in Australia.This account will be of interest to screen industry practitioners, policymakers, scholars, and, more generally, to anyone wondering whatever happened to Australian television drama.

Autism Awareness and Crime: Investigating the School-to-Prison Pipeline
by Neil Alexander-PasseAutism Awareness and Crime explores Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the ‘school to prison pipeline’.This book takes the reader through a journey from understanding autism, how it manifests and how it is diagnosed. The author looks at how circumstances in schools including isolation, misunderstanding meltdowns, lack of autism awareness and training have criminalised autism, leading to suspensions, exclusions, and the use of restraint and seclusion. He draws on survey data to ascertain whether there is a link between a lack of autism awareness and provision in education settings for young people, and an increased likelihood of criminal behaviour later in life. The book looks at the type of offences that young people with autism are commonly arrested for, and the contributing autistic traits that are related to them which can be termed ‘risk factors’. Criminal offences including stalking, arson and cyber-dependent crimes are examined in detail, and this book also considers how individuals with ASD are treated by the criminal justice system.This volume is ideal for students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of forensic psychology, criminology, special educational needs, and social work.

Autobiographical Memory and Moral Agency: Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychology (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Daniel VanelloThis volume brings together, for the first time, perspectives from philosophy and psychology to investigate the role of autobiographical memory in moral agency. Autobiographical memory is the ability to recollect events in one’s past as part of one’s personal history. Moral agency is the ability to make moral judgements, act morally, and have a conception of the good life. Although a number of philosophers and psychologists have drawn attention to the role of autobiographical memory in moral agency, there is no sustained project that brings together these different lines of inquiry into a unified research area.The aim of this volume is to answer this need by bringing together leading voices in research in autobiographical memory and moral agency from both philosophy and psychology to provide a unified framework for a new interdisciplinary research area. Key areas of research explored in this volume include temporal perspectives, moral identity, autobiographical narrative, joint reminiscing, the internalisation of moral value, attachments, and amnesia.Autobiographical Memory and Moral Agency will appeal to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of mind, moral philosophy, philosophy of education, developmental psychology, and educational psychology who are interested in the role of memory in moral psychology and moral development.
