Building Catholic Churches in Hong Kong
This book presents a comprehensive history of the development of Catholic Church architecture in Hong Kong from its birth as a British colony in the mid-19th century and development as an international financial hub throughout the 1900s, to its handover from British to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, and subjection to a radical "mainlandisation" process in the 2020s. The author describes how the geopolitics of each period shaped the architectural forms and usage of churches in ways that have radically distinguished them from their western counterparts. The book also describes how the role of lay Catholics in the building of churches in Hong Kong grew from almost nothing in the 1950s, when most ...
Since Fukushima
"In the days following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011, poet Wago Ryoichi started a Twitter feed. Living just 80 km away from the failed nuclear reactor, he sheltered in his apartment and bared witness to the unfolding devastation. Beginning with excerpts from those original tweets, this book follows ten years of Wago's writing. The poems consider not just the human toll of the disaster but place the devastation of the land, the animals, and ways of life of Fukushima Prefecture on equal footing. There are poems from the perspective of cows left behind in the evacuation zones, from the soil as it is dug up and buried deeper into the earth to lower radiation levels, and from residents who stayed behind. The book closes with a series of poems written ten years after 3.11. reflecting on the first days of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown. Wago writes from a place of compassion for the world, sharing a hunger for beauty, rebirth and community from the heart of disaster." -- Publisher.
World Heritage, Tourism and Identity
The remarkable success of the 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is borne out by the fact that nearly 1,000 properties have now been designated as possessing Outstanding Universal Value and recognition given to the imperative for their protection. However, the remarkable success of the Convention is not without its challenges and a key issue for many Sites relates to the touristic legacies of inscription. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection, conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites, designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites.

The Happy Valley
Hong Kong's oldest Western cemetery garden is located in Happy Valley. This history and tour highlights the need for urgent action to conserve the built and natural heritage resources of this important cultural landscape. The author challenges the reader to reconsider the basic approach to heritage conservation adopted in Hong Kong where a false dichotomy persists between natural and built heritage conservation initiatives. The Hong Kong Cemetery provides an excellent example of a precious cultural landscape which is deteriorating because simplistic approaches to site management have failed to understand and protect the complex interrelationship between the natural (flora mid fauna - habitats) and built (monuments and Memorials) heritage resources. The first-three chapters introduce the cemetery garden concept as it evolved in early nineteenth century Europe, and was eventually established in Hong Kong by the British.-The second half of the book provides a self-guided tour of the cemetery highlighting its resources as well as explaining the main conservation problems and possible solutions to protect the cemetery.
Global burden of preventable medication-related harm in health care
Medication-related harm is considered preventable if it occurs as a result of an identifiable, modifiable cause and its recurrence can be avoided by appropriate adaptation to a process or adherence to guidelines. Understanding the prevalence, nature and severity of preventable medication-related harm is critical for setting targets for clinically relevant, implementable improvements in patient safety. This report presents an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of the prevalence, nature and severity of preventable medication-related harm in the international literature including in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The main target audience is policy makers, health care leaders, researchers and academics, practicing clinicians and advocacy groups on medication safety.
