Forty case studies spanning four decades give evidence of the range of motivations for embarking on these creative endeavors and diverse conceptual underpinnings, generative methods, objects of inquiry, and outcomes. Architecture and Choreography builds histories and theories through which to examine these works, the contexts within, and processes through which the works emerged, and the critical questions they raise about ways to work toge...
A notable volume focusing on prevention and evaluation, this book contends that human services must become more accountable to the public and the government by undertaking more efficient and accurate evaluations and being able to support their claims for continued services with accurate studies. The importance of a carefully tailored program design, well-chosen measuring instruments, follow-up assessment, and insistence on control groups for comparison in any study are major topics.
A paramedic and paranormal investigator takes readers on a terrifying tour of haunted hospitals, asylums, and medical facilities across the globe. Hospitals are the nexus point between life and death, the place into which people enter this world, but also exit it. When we consider what has taken place behind the closed doors of hospitals since the inception of the medical profession, it should come as no surprise to discover that so many of them are haunted. In The World's Most Haunted Hospitals, paramedic and paranormal investigator Richard Estep recounts some of the most fascinating—and chilling—stories of hospital hauntings from across the globe, including: The apparitions at an old Utah hospital, now a nursing home, whose appearances are said to predict a patient's death. The Italian island referred to by locals as "the gateway to Hell," where the spirits of thousands of plague victims prowl the streets. The terrifying phenomena that keep visitors away from an abandoned airbase hospital in the Philippines. The ghostly nurse who has haunted the corridors of a London hospital for generations.

They trace how the elements of the flood narrative were elaborated in medieval and early modern art, text, and music...

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, , language: English, abstract: The German film industry in the post-war era depicted a society that was struggling to find validation or acceptance in the global arena while having being condemned by the United Nations for its role in propagating the world war and commuting widespread and targeted atrocities against the Jewish community. This was an epoch where the Third Reich was in full control of Germany, and they were keen on invasion and world conquest. The political regime in Germany was in full control of an individual’s liberty. The government used education and culture as tools to control the population; they used the media to disseminate their propaganda throughout the society. This was coupled with the erosion of the very societal fabric, such as the family, which affirmed the relationship between identity and politics during this era.
