The Caribbean Blue Economy
The Blue Economy is emerging on the global scene as a powerful and persuasive new concept for sustainable development based on economic activities associated with the ocean. Several regions globally have adopted this concept at national and regional levels, including the Caribbean. Given the complex, multisectoral and multilevel nature of the Blue Economy, it is clear that different approaches will be needed for different regions. Hence, this volume explores the opportunities, threats and risks involved in operationalising the Blue Economy in the Wider Caribbean Region, defined as northern Brazil to the USA and all mainland and island countries and territories in-between. The first part of t...
Brexit and the Commonwealth
The decision of the UK to ‘Leave’ the European Union (EU) was unexpected, and as a consequence the precise details of what would come next were left very unclear, and still today there is little certainty or agreement over what ‘Brexit’ will actually mean. It is within this context that this edited volume has been produced. The Commonwealth featured quite heavily in the referendum campaign, particularly on the ‘Leave’ side; claiming that a vote for Brexit would allow the UK to re-new and extend links with the countries of the Commonwealth. However, critics highlighted the potential limitations of a new bilateral link, and that in many instances the UK’s role is strengthened by ...

Feilden Clegg Bradley
This is the first monograph on one of the leading architectural practices in Britain - named as Architectural Practice of the Year 2004 by Building Design magazine - documenting their buildings and presenting in easily digestible form their unrivalled expertise in sustainable design. Feilden Clegg Bradley's work covers a wide range of building types, from student housing to auditoria and from offices to schools, and includes such well-known projects as the Greenpeace headquarters and new offices for the National Trust. The buildings and projects are documented by drawings, photos and essays by critics, plus commentaries by Peter Clegg, Keith Bradley and the late Richard Feilden. The final section of the book, the Environmental Primer, gives hands-on guidance to detailed aspects of sustainable design, including lighting, ventilation, heating and materials.
Farmer Clegg's Night Out
Farm animals take on Britain's Got Talent, in this laugh-out-loud funny rhyming romp! From Peter Bently and Jim Field - illustrator of the bestselling Oi Frog books. Then Buttercup Jersey, the moonwalking cow, caused cries of 'Incredible!', 'Knockout!' and 'Wow!' She glided and twisted and then did the splits. It was utterly stunning. They loved her to bits! Old Farmer Clegg may be tucked up for the night, but down in the farmyard, a talent show is about to take place. Who has what it takes to be a star? The break-dancing cow? The honky-tonk geese? Meg, the egg-laying, Mozart-singing hen? Or maybe a certain sleep-walking farmer... With a bouncy rhyming story and lively, comedy-packed illustrations from the bestselling Jim Field, this is the perfect read-aloud treat!
Life After Kes
Life After Kes examines the history and legacy of the 1969 award-winning British film, Kes, about a boy's (Billy Casper) relationship with a kestrel. This fascinating book not only pays homage to the vision and extraordinary talent involved both in front and behind the camera but also looks at subsequent changes in the educational system, posing some important questions. Are we any better off today? Have schools and teaching staff moved forward over the last few decades? Have successive government's learnt anything from the mistakes of the past? Life After Kes explores the lives of the cast and production team since the making of the film including David (Dai) Bradley who played the lead role and examines why the legacy of Billy Casper and the national perception of Kes cast a shadow over South Yorkshire. Does Casper’s ghost still haunt this ex-mining community and is director Ken Loach’s gritty northern drama as relevant today as it was then? This book is a must-have for all film fans, anyone who enjoyed Kes and all those with an interest in British social history.
Museum Making
Over recent decades, many museums, galleries and historic sites around the world have enjoyed an unprecedented level of large-scale investment in their capital infrastructure, in building refurbishments and new gallery displays. This period has also seen the creation of countless new purpose-built museums and galleries, suggesting a fundamental re-evaluation of the processes of designing and shaping of museums. Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions examines this re-making by exploring the inherently spatial character of narrative in the museum and its potential to connect on the deepest levels with human perception and imagination. Through this uniting theme, the chapters exp...
Euro-Caribbean Societies in the 21st Century
This volume examines political, economic and social change, and inter-group relations in the European islands of the Caribbean over the last decade, addressing the major institutional transformations of recent years as the impacts of wider global change - economic transformations, roles of the local elites, and the current dynamics of inequality
The Culture of Building
The Culture of Building describes how the built world, including the vast number of buildings that are the settings for peoples everyday lives, is the product of building cultures--complex systems of people, relationships, building types, techniques, and habits in which design and building are anchored. These cultures include builders, bankers, architects, developers, clients, contractors, craftspeople, building inspectors, planners, and many others. The product of these cultures, which operate building after building, is the built world of cities and settlements. In this book, Howard Davis uses historical, contemporary, and cross-cultural examples to describe the nature and influence of the...
