Ruminations, Peregrinations, and Regenerations
Peregrinations, Ruminations, and Regenerations: A Critical Approach to Doctor Who examines the famous BBC science fiction show as a cultural artifact in dialogue with other science fiction, with politics and religion, and with the culture at large, both in terms of how it reflects and comments upon that culture and in terms of the audience and the peculiarities of its response. This book enables researchers in film and media to make historical, industrial, aesthetic, and ideological connections between and among Doctor Who and other shows and historical events since its inception in 1963. This volume is a new entry in a relatively new area. As the young fans of Doctor Who have matured, and as many have become scholars, they are returning to the show to consider it from a scholarly perspective. It is also of use in the media studies classroom to address directly the issues presented by the longest running science fiction show in the history of the medium. Peregrinations, Ruminations, and Regenerations considers not only cultural ramifications and connections, but audience studies as well.
Biomimetic Materials for Tissue Regenerations, 2nd edition
In tissue engineering, the ultimate goal is to engineer an entire functioning organ that requires building complex structures of different tissue types. A three-dimensional scaffold seeded with desired cell types. In order to resemble the natural formations of the organs, cells have to be correctly located in relation to one another. It has been shown in cocultures that cells have the capability of spontaneous tissue-like organization when seeded into the scaffold. The ideal scaffolds should have an interconnected porous structure, well-designed pore size and adequate porosity to allow cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, effective bioactive agents and nutrient excha...
ReGenerations
Do some people in the office just leave you shaking your head? Like that new hire who comes to work late, with a smartphone and Starbucks latte in hand, wearing yoga pants that look like pajamas? Or maybe it's that colleague who shuts you down every time you have an idea or question. The root of these conflicts may lie in an overlooked issue: generational differences. The fast pace of change in American society over the last century means that each generation has grown up in a vastly different world, resulting in social and cultural distinctions that we don't always recognize. These differences are reflected in a spectrum of attitudes, communication styles, and expectations in the workplace ...
Architectural Regeneration
A comprehensive and detailed overview of the active regeneration, rehabilitation and revitalisation of architectural heritage. The combined processes of globalisation, urbanisation, environmental change, population growth and rapid technological development have resulted in an increasingly complex, dynamic and interrelated world, in which concerns about the meaning of cultural heritage and identity continue to grow. As the need for culturally and environmentally sustainable design grows, the challenge for professionals involved in the management of inherited built environments is to respond to this ever-changing context in a critical, dynamic and creative way. Our knowledge and understanding...

Regeneration
The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist and creator of Drawdown, Paul Hawken The dangers of climate change and a warming world have been in the public eye for fifty years. For three decades, scientists and the United Nations have urged us to address future existential threats. In Regeneration Paul Hawken has flipped the narrative, bringing people back into the conversation by demonstrating that addressing current human needs rather than future threats is the only path to solving the climate crisis. From land to ocean, food to industries - Regeneration proposes an extensive menu of actions that collectively can reverse the overheating and degradation of our planet. The solutions, techniques, and practices range from solar power, electric vehicles, and tree planting to bioregions, azolla fern and forest farms; they are all doable, science-based, and comprise a precise and unequivocal course of action. Whether you are an individual, community focused or a national government, Regeneration is a call to arms to mobilise and create a better future for ourselves on this planet.
A Series of Regenerations in a Charmed Life
As a book, 'A Series of Regenerations in a Charmed Life' fits somewhere between a coherent novel and a collection of short stories spread over the lifetime of the narrator. As such, it also represents a biography, albeit one wherein the central character seems to change from story to story, to the extent that he becomes barely recognisable, and often seems to vanish during a series of "regenerations." Readers are given insights into the sometimes strange life of a the narrator who, as an infant, survived the 'Blitz" of London. They are next transported in turn through several 'time leaps' to post World War II South Africa at the height of the shocking apartheid regime, the life of an immigrant 'rocket scientist" in California and Florida during the exciting 1960s 'Space Race', the life of an adventurer a during 1000s of miles cruising the great Pacific Ocean on board a 32-foot cutter; and ultimately the onset of old age. The stories may also be read separately and in any order, serving as glimpses into lives and times of colourful and often bizzarre characters in equally strange worlds.

City Girls
"Even before wartime incarceration, Japanese Americans largely lived in separate cultural communities from their West Coast neighbors. The first-generation American children, the Nisei, were American citizens, spoke English, and were integrated in public schools, yet were also socially isolated in many ways from their peers and subject to racism. Their daughters especially found rapport in a flourishing network of ethnocultural youth organizations. Until now, these groups have remained hidden from the historical record, both because they were girls' groups and because evidence of them was considered largely ephemeral. In her second book, Valerie Matsumoto has recreated this hidden world of f...
