Regreening the Built Environment: Nature, Green Space, and Sustainability
by Michael A. RichardsNow in its second volume, Regreening the Built Environment provides an overview of physical and social environmental challenges that the planet is facing and presents solutions that restore ecological processes, reclaim open space, foster social equity, and facilitate a green economy.Healing the planet requires a combination of strategies networked across multiple scales of development, including buildings, sites, communities, and regions. Case studies from a range of locations in the United States, Denmark, Vietnam, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom, among others, demonstrate how existing gray infrastructure can be retrofitted with green infrastructure and low-impact development techniques. From this, the author shows how a building can be designed that creates greenspace or generates energy; likewise, a roadway can be a parkway, an alley can be a wildlife corridor, and a parking surface can be a garden. This new edition also includes case studies that have successfully reconnected communities that were fragmented by unjust planning practices and irresponsible patterns of development, resilient design solutions in response to natural disasters, passive design strategies that can make interior spaces more efficient and healthier, and expanded discussions on capturing carbon, renewable energy, agriculture, waste, public transit, and adaptive reuse, including innovative ideas on how to reimagine the shopping mall in the era of e-commerce.The strategies presented in this book will stimulate discussions within the design profession and will be of great interest to students and practitioners of environmental studies, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design.
Waiting for Gertrude: A Graveyard Gothic (Graveyard Gothics)
by Bill RichardsonIn Paris's Pere-Lachaise cemetery lie the bones of many renowned departed. It is also home to a large number of stray cats. Now, what if by some strange twist of fate, the souls of the famous were reborn in the cats with their personalities intact? There's Maria Callas, a willful and imperious diva, wailing late into the night. Earthy, bawdy chanteuse Edith Piaf is a foul-mouthed washerwoman. Oscar Wilde is hopelessly in love with Jim Morrison, who sadly does not return his affections. Frederic Chopin is as melancholic and deeply contemplative as ever, and in honor of the tradition of leaving love letters at his tomb, he is now the cemetery's postmaster general. Last but not least, Marcel Proust is trying to solve the mystery behind some unusual thefts - someone has stolen Rossini's glass eye and Sarah Bernhardt's leg. Told in a series of amusing set pieces and intercepted letters, this is a delicious tale of intrigue, unrequited love, longstanding quarrels, character assassinations, petty spats, and sorcery that builds to a steady climax at the cats' annual Christmas pageant.

Authority, Passion, and Subject-Centered Teaching: A Christian Pedagogical Philosophy (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Christopher J. RichmannThis book asserts that authority is a contested category and explores why traditional notions of authority are increasingly in tension with progressive and postmodern claims, devolving into stalemate, schizophrenia, or power plays. Offering a Christian framework as a philosophically coherent and practical alternative for teachers, the author argues that Jesus provides a pattern from which to reconstruct our conception of teaching authority in ways that align with evidence-informed teaching practices and cultivate intellectual virtues. Rather than examine “Jesus as teacher,” the book instead applies the central insight on authority that Jesus embodies. This authority with which Jesus taught, it argues, stemmed from his passion—that is, passive, even suffering, experience. The author aligns this to a subject-centered conception of teaching (as opposed to student-centered or teacher-centered) in which the subject is the authority and knowing is identified with being acted upon by the subject. Teaching with authority thereby becomes a matter of unveiling suffering with students and inviting them into their own suffering encounter with the subject. Building on the work on Parker Palmer and exploring pedagogical practice from a Christian perspective, this book will appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in higher education, evidence-based teaching, educational theory, religion and education, and Christian history and thought.
By Your Side: How to Find Soulful Allies and Become One to Others
by David RichoA fascinating exploration of the &“assisting force&” archetype, with powerful psychological tools and spiritual insights on how to find and work with these forces in your life—from the bestselling author of How To Be An Adult in Relationships.Psychotherapist David Richo draws from history, Jungian psychology, Buddhism, nature, and other spiritual traditions to illuminate our connection to the &“helpers&” we call upon to navigate life. Some of the assisting forces in our lives are visible, and some are invisible. Some are with us for life; some come and go. Spiritual assisting forces could be bodhisattvas and saints—or partners in a relationship who are allies to one another.Richo says that helpers are a necessary character on our human journey, and that in every heroic journey story the hero or heroine requires a trustworthy companion to fulfill his/her/their destiny. The assisting force can take many forms, but is often depicted as a sidekick, an aide, a wise advisor, or a spirit guide. In stories, an assisting force can also be an elixir, a magic form of help, an animal, or a wish-fulfilling gem. In this fascinating inquiry, Richo posits that the archetype of the ally is necessary if we are ever to be fully who we are. He shows us how assisting forces are in and around us, and how we can be one to others. Richo offers a compelling and accessible view—and time-tested practices including meditation, self-inquiry, journaling, and affirmations—that help us recognize and access the allies in our lives.

Human Impacts on Seals, Sea Lions, and Sea Otters: Integrating Archaeology and Ecology in the Northeast Pacific
by Torben C. Rick Todd J. BrajeFor more than ten thousand years, Native Americans from Alaska to southern California relied on aquatic animals such as seals, sea lions, and sea otters for food and raw materials. Archaeological research on the interactions between people and these marine mammals has made great advances recently and provides a unique lens for understanding the human and ecological past. Archaeological research is also emerging as a crucial source of information on contemporary environmental issues as we improve our understanding of the ancient abundance, ecology, and natural history of these species. This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume brings together archaeologists, biologists, and other scientists to consider how archaeology can inform the conservation and management of pinnipeds and other marine mammals along the Pacific Coast.
More Than Two, Second Edition: Cultivating Nonmonogamous Relationships with Kindness and Integrity (More Than Two Essentials #9)
by Eve Rickert Andrea ZaninA modern topology of nonmonogamy' s many possibilities— and consequences.“ Can you love more than one person?” A lot of conversations about nonmonogamy start this way. When we discuss “ opening” relationships, contemplate whether we want to be exclusive with our partners, or introduce multiple partners to friends and family, we are asking the people in our lives, and ourselves, to contend with this question.The answer is obvious, and misleading. The love one feels in their heart and the love one expresses through daily acts of care and affection are both “ love” in the true sense, but they have different requirements, present different options and produce different outcomes.More Than Two can' t promise outcomes, but it is a guide to the paths— from anchor or nesting partnerships to relationship anarchy— possible within nonmonogamy. This long-awaited second edition bridges emerging theories on attachment and relationship diversity with authors Eve Rickert and Andrea Zanin' s insight and experience. The arcs of nonmonogamous partnerships bend towards complexity, introspection and compromise— or at least they can, if we work at it.
Vektoranalysis und Differentialformen: Fundamentale Werkzeuge der Mathematik (essentials)
by Dieter RiebesehlDieter Riebesehl schlägt in diesem essential die Brücke von der klassischen Vektoranalysis zum Formalismus der Differentialformen. Die Vektoranalysis behandelt Vektorfelder, meist im zwei- oder dreidimensionalen Raum, und ist ein grundlegendes Werkzeug für Physiker, Ingenieure und Techniker. Die zentralen Definitionen werden sorgfältig motiviert und dann die wichtigsten Aussagen bis hin zu den Integralsätzen von Gauß und Stokes hergeleitet. Die Darstellung ist möglichst elementar und vermeidet darüberhinausgehende Konzepte wie Mannigfaltigkeiten. Die Vektoranalysis hat einen gewissen Mangel an Eleganz, der sich darin äußert, dass sie sich nicht leicht auf mehr als drei Dimensionen verallgemeinern lässt und unnötig viele ähnliche Konzepte verwendet. Die Sprache der Differentialformen kommt mit weniger Konzepten aus, ermöglicht besonders knappe Formulierungen der Integralsätze und ist leicht auf beliebige Dimensionen verallgemeinerbar. In diesem essential wird die Übersetzung der Vektoranalysis in die Sprache der Differentialformen anschaulich und die Eleganz der neuen Formulierung deutlich gemacht.
Der Franchisevertrag: Fallstricke, Hilfestellungen und Organisationen
by Hermann Riedl Martin NiklasDieses Buch orientiert sich an vielen Erfahrungen aus der Praxis im Bereich Recht und Unternehmenssteuerung und den daraus resultierenden Problemstellungen, teilweise auch anderweitiger Rechtsprechung soweit sie sich direkt auf franchiserelevante Fragestellungen bezieht, oder zumindest dort analog anwendbar ist. Der Darstellung verschiedener Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten schließen sich dann Gedanken hinsichtlich der Konsequenzen für das operative Geschäft an, einerseits hinsichtlich einer Vermeidung von Konflikten im Rahmen der Systemgestaltung, andererseits hinsichtlich konkreter Lösungsmöglichkeiten. Dieses Buch bietet natürlich kein vollständiges Bild des Franchiserechts in Deutschland. Auch kann keinerlei Gewähr für eine Vollständigkeit und für eine erhoffte Rechtssicherheit übernommen werden. Insgesamt ergibt sich jedoch in der Zusammenschau ein breit gefächertes Bild eines Franchisevertrages und der möglichen operativer Lösungen aus den Bereichen Handel, Retail, Gastronomie,Handwerk, Beratung und anderen Dienstleistungszweigen.
