Sense of Place, Health and Quality of Life
A significant body of theoretical and empirical studies describes 'sense of place' as an outcome of interconnected psychological, social and environmental processes in relation to physical place(s). Sense of place has been examined, particularly in human geography, in terms of both the character intrinsic to a place as a localized, bounded and material entity, and the sentiments of attachment/detachment that humans experience and express in relation to specific places. Scholars in a wide range of disciplines are increasingly exploring the relationship between place and health, and recently, the field of public health has been encouraged to recognize sense of place as a potential contributing factor to well-being. It is evident that over the last few decades, sense of place has developed into a versatile construct. This important book brings together work related to sense of place and health, broadly defined, from the perspective of a variety of fields and disciplines. It will give the reader an understanding of both the range of applications of this construct within approaches to human health as well as the breadth of research methodologies employed in its investigation.
Reel Women
In the last several decades, the number of films featuring female protagonists has increased significantly. Many of these films reflect the vast cultural and sociological changes that have taken place since the early 1960s, highlighting not only a wide spectrum of female characters depicted onscreen, but the creative work of women behind the camera as well. In Reel Women: An International Directory of Contemporary Feature Films about Women, media librarian Jane Sloan has assembled an impressive list of more than 2400 films—from nearly 100 countries—that feature female protagonists. Each entry includes a brief description of the film and cites key artistic personnel, particularly female d...

Experimental Methods in Hydraulic Research
It is clear that hydraulic research is developing beyond traditional civil engineering to satisfy increasing demands in natural hazards assessment and also environmental research. Our ability to describe processes in nature rests on the observation and experimental methods as well as on theoretical basics of various disciplines. Under such conditions experimental methods draw from various areas of human activities and research, i.e. from physics, biology, chemistry, aerospace research, oceanic research etc. The current volume is the result of a meeting that took place during the 30th International School of Hydraulics in Poland and presents both the state-of-the-art and ongoing research projects in which experimental methods play a key role. Authors from numerous leading laboratories and from various countries guarantee a representative sample of different studies at the frontier of the field
An Introduction to the Geography of Health
In the second edition of An Introduction to the Geography of Health, Helen Hazen and Peter Anthamatten explore the ways in which geographic ideas and approaches can inform our understanding of health. The book’s focus on a broad range of physical and social factors that drive health in places and spaces offers students and scholars an important holistic perspective on the study of health in the modern era. In this edition, the authors have restructured the book to emphasize the theoretical significance of ecological and social approaches to health. Spatial methods are now reinforced throughout the book, and other qualitative and quantitative methods are discussed in greater depth. Data and...

A Minha Professora é a Melhor do Mundo
A carteira da primeira fila, quase coladinha à professora, não era o sítio preferido do Gil... Mas a Inês gostava de o ter por perto e ensinou- o o a ver a matéria com outros olhos. Uns olhos que encontravam tesouros escondidos e seres mágicos dentro da mala da professora. E para que serviriam? Junta-te ao Gil e à Inês... e com eles descobrirás também um tesouro!

Os lugares e a saúde
Este estudo tem como objetivo conhecer a forma como diferentes factores influenciam a saúde da população residente na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa (AML), colocando a ênfase no impacte dos fatores ambientais, físicos e sociais. Sendo o contexto multidimensional, teorizam-se as múltiplas dimensões do ambiente sociomaterial local, insistindo sobretudo nos aspetos que fazem a diferença entre os lugares. Avaliadas as dimensões ambientais, procura-se modelar e explicar a sua influência na saúde individual, recorrendo-se a metodologias de análise estatística multivariada. Os resultados obtidos comprovam a tese colocada: na AML há uma forte relação entre saúde e espaços de vida qu...
