An Introduction to Geography and Religion

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book, the first in the field for two decades, looks at the relationships between geography and religion. It represents a synthesis of research by geographers of many countries, mainly since the 1960s. No previous book has tackled this emerging field from such a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, and never before have such a variety of detailed case studies been pulled together in so comparative or illuminating a way. Examples and case studies have been drawn from all the major world religions and from all continents from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Major themes covered in the book include the distribution of religion and the processes by which religion and religious ideas spread through space and time. Some of the important links between religion and population are also explored. A great deal of attention is focused on the visible manifestations of religion on the cultural landscape, including landscapes of worship and of death, and the whole field of sacred space and religious pilgrimage.

First published in 1989, Chernobyl: The Long Shadow offers a balanced review of what happened there, why and how it happened, and what the main lessons and implications of the accident are. It looks back on events during and after the disaster, in particular reviewing how it and the radiation fallout were dealt with in different countries and looks forward to how the incident might affect the nuclear power industry around the world. The book explores the significance of the accident within the Soviet Union, considers its impact on public confidence in nuclear power, and reviews what improvements are necessary in emergency planning throughout the rest of the world. It is written from an inter-disciplinary perspective; based on detailedscienctific research, which is described in non-specialist terms, it considers themes like attitudes to nuclear power and political reaction to the accident itself. It sets the Chernobyl accident into a proper context. Chernobyl: The Long Shadow will appeal to students and teachers of geography, environmental science, international politics, nuclear physics, and to anyone interested in current affairs and environmental problems.

Francis of Assisi, one of the most popular saints and the patron saint of ecology, is an enigma. He was born into a wealthy family but gave it all up when he felt called by God to live a life of extreme poverty. He dreamed of becoming a knight but ended up preaching peace and reconciliation. He sought spiritual solitude but found himself head of a large religious order. He was a radical but remained loyal to the Catholic Church. His life and works hold many lessons for us today, as we seek ways of living that are informed by the gospels and rooted in integrity.

Bee-Skep Making
Heritage, Folklore and How to Make and Use Your Own Skeps

E-bok
PDF, Engelska, 2026

Läs direkt efter köp
A beekeeper's guide to straw skep-building, including sections on bee history and mythology, practical skep beekeeping, and making honey and wax products.Dating back to ancient times, the bee skep is essentially an upturned lipwork basket with a small bee entrance near the base. Offering a less intensive industrialised environment than the box hives widely used today, skeps are friendlier to the bees' way of working and properly used can be better for their health and resilience. Perhaps you've considered moving away from box hives yourself and revitalising age-old beekeeping traditions? With no full-time skep-makers in the UK, the practice is on Heritage Craft's Red List of endangered crafts so you may need to make your own. Master skep maker and beekeeper Chris Park helps you learn these revered skills with step-by-step photographic guidance on skep construction, as well as instructions for making the protective straw cone or 'hackle' to go over the top. He provides tips on settling swarms and managing colonies using traditional techniques, and for harvesting your honey and honeycomb, draining them into jars and producing mead and candles. Woven into this is a rich potted history of skep beekeeping, its folklore and heritage, and an exploration of honey's medicinal properties, offering up a wealth of knowledge as you perfect your skep-making skills.

Discovery of the Yorkshire Dales

THE YORKSHIRE DALES, so beloved of visitors today, was once remote, wild and undiscovered, invaded by settlers wholeft their stories in scars on the land and hints of their origins in the place names that remain. As the written word developed, a gradual trickle of explorers came to view the uncanny and the awesome, from natural wonder to ransackedabbey. They reported back on their travels and as word spread, the trickle became a constant stream. This unusual and beautifully illustrated book gives us a unique window on 600 years of Dales history. Looking through the eyes ofcontemporary writers, we can see how perceptions, attitudes and even the landscape itself have changed over time. What has remained the same is the grandeur, variety and sheer beauty of this stunning National Park. Part history, part guide and part joyous celebration, this unique book will enchant residents and visitors alike.

Overlapping Metal: The Optical Physics of the Aperture
Blades, Light, and the Mechanical Mimicry of the Human Pupil
AvChris Park
E-bok
Engelska, 2026
55 kr
Läs direkt efter köp
Behind every breathtaking photograph lies a brutal, instantaneous mechanical movement. The aperture ring of a camera lens must precisely overlap incredibly thin, fragile metal blades to dictate the exact volume of light hitting the digital sensor.This geometric marvel mimics the human pupil but operates under punishing physical constraints. The diaphragm must snap open and shut in a fraction of a millisecond. If the overlapping blades are coated with the wrong type of industrial lubricant, or if condensation forms inside the lens barrel, they become sluggish, completely ruining the exposure during high-speed continuous shooting.Engineers design these curved blades to interlock seamlessly, creating a near-perfect circle that dictates the optical depth of field. Even microscopic burrs on the metal edge will cause severe light diffraction, destroying the clarity of the captured image and ruining the aesthetic bokeh of the background.Delve into the microscopic mechanics that freeze time in modern photography. This exploration details the frictionless pivots and structural geometry required to sculpt incoming photons into visual masterpieces.
