Visual Politics

Investigating the Visual Communication Strategies of Political Parties and Candidates from a Longitudinal and Comparative Perspective

By: Dennis Steffan

Bilder sind in der Politik allgegenwärtig. Sie beeinflussen, wie wir Themen und Ereignisse verstehen, PolitikerInnen beurteilen und Wahlentscheidungen treffen. Dennoch ist wenig über den strategischen Einsatz von Bildern in Wahlkämpfen bekannt. Dieser Band untersucht die visuellen Kommunikationsstrategien von Parteien und KandidatInnen aus einer Langzeit- und Vergleichsperspektive. Er analysiert Wahlplakate und Social-Media-Profile und stellt die Relevanz von Bildern in westlichen Demokratien dar. Visual Politics richtet sich an StudentInnen, DoktorandInnen und WissenschaftlerInnen sowie an alle, die sich für die Rolle von Bildern im Wahlkampf interessieren, wie KampagnenmanagerInnen, Parteien, KandidatInnen und JournalistInnen.

A Resource-Based Habitat View for Conservation

Butterflies in the British Landscape

By: Roger L. H. Dennis

Winner of the Marsh Book of the Year Award 2012 by theBritish Ecological Society. In A Resource-Based Habitat View for Conservation RogerDennis introduces a novel approach to the understanding of habitatsbased on resources and conditions required by organisms and theiraccess to them, a quantum shift from simplistic andineffectual notions of habitats as vegetation units or biotopes. Indrawing attention to what organisms actually use and need inlandscapes, it focuses on resource composition, structure andconnectedness, all of which describe habitat quality and underpinlandscape heterogeneity. This contrasts with the current bipolarview of landscapes made up of habitat patches and empty matrix butillustrates how such a metapopulation approach of isolatedpatchworks can grow by adopting the new habitat viewpoint. The book explores principles underlying this newdefinition of habitat, and the impact of habitat components onpopulations, species’ distributions, geographical ranges andrange changes, with a view to conserving resources in landscapesfor whole communities. It does this using the example ofbutterflies - the most alluring of insects, flagship organisms andkey indicators of environmental health - in the British Isles,where they have been studied most intensively. The book formsessential reading for students, researchers and practitioners inecology and conservation, particularly those concerned withmanaging sites and landscapes for wildlife.

Butterfly Biology Systems

Connections and Interactions in Life History and Behaviour

By: Roger L.H. Dennis

In Butterfly Biology Systems Roger Dennis explores key topics and contentious issues in butterfly biology, specifically those in life history and behaviour. Uniquely, using a systems approach, the book focuses on the degree of integration and feedback between components and elements affecting each issue, as well as the links between different issues. The book comprises four sections. The first two sections introduce the reader to principles and approaches for investigating complex relationships, and provide a platform of knowledge on butterfly biology. The final two sections deal in turn with life history and behaviour, covering key issues affecting different stages of development from eggs to adults.

The Fire, the Sword and the Devil

By: Janet Rosenstock,Dennis Adair

The Fire, the Sword and the Devil is a tale of dark passions, tender love and riveting suspense. Built around major historic events in the period 1520-1548, it is also a tale of tragedy, pain and human triumph. Marguerite de Navarre, sister of the king of France, first wrote a portion of this tale in her Heptameron. Once every hundred years since the 15th century, the tale of Marguerite de Roberval ordeal on an island off the coast of Labrador has been retold, though seldom in English. This work attempts to answer fictionally historic questions surrounding De Roberval and his niece Marguerite. The historic period presented is at the apex of the Age of Exploration, the Reformation and the Renaissance. It is peopled with historic figures: Rabelais and Francis I, Henry VIII and John Calvin, Cartier and De Roberval, Viceroy of New France.

Lord Byron and the History of Desire

By: Ian Dennis

Drawing on the work of Eric Gans and René Girard, novelist and literary scholar Dennis (U. of Ottawa) contends that British poet Byron (1788-1824) changed his ideas about what could and should be desired during the course of his writing career. He considers victory and defeat in the eastern tales, heroic victimhood in Prometheus and The Prisoner of Chillon, Byron's sincerity, and the market in Don Juan. Only names and titles are indexed.

The Origins of Ethical Failures

The Origins of Ethical Failures

Lessons for Leaders

By: Dennis Gentilin

In this thoroughly updated new edition of his ground-breaking and award-winning book, Dennis Gentilin draws on both his personal experience as a well-known whistleblower and recent events in the Australian financial services industry to provide insights into how widespread, systemic ethical failure can take hold in an industry and, crucially, what leaders need to focus on to avoid it. In 2001, as a young university graduate, Dennis Gentilin became a member of an FX trading desk at one of Australia’s largest banks, the National Australia Bank. In the years that followed, the desk became involved in a trading scandal that resulted in the resignation of the chairman and CEO, the collapse of the board, significant financial loss and incalculable reputational damage. Over the past decade, the frequency of ethical failure within the Australian financial services industry has only increased. Among other failures, there have been multiple breaches of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act, rigging of the benchmark BBSW interest rate, mis-selling of consumer credit insurance and predatory sales practices. In this new edition, Gentilin draws on experimental research from economics and finance to illustrate how, when the conditions are permissive, humans have a predisposition towards dishonesty, and therefore, to reduce the likelihood of ethical failure, leaders must focus obsessively on putting in place appropriate institutional arrangements. Gentilin’s combination of intellectual rigour and real-life reflections makes this book a must-read for students, practitioners and leaders alike who would like to develop a deeper understanding of corporate ethics, governance and conduct.

Routledge Handbook of Political Management

By: Dennis W. Johnson

The Routledge Handbook of Political Management is a comprehensive overview of the field of applied politics, encompassing political consulting, campaigns and elections, lobbying and advocacy, grass roots politics, fundraising, media and political communications, the role of the parties, political leadership, and the ethical dimensions of public life.

British and Irish Butterflies

An Island Perspective

By: Roger L H Dennis,Peter B Hardy

Islands are special places; they can be havens for unique plants and animals and refuges for wildlife. This book investigates the biogeography of butterfly species over the British islands, particularly the factors that influence their presence on the islands and that have made each island's butterfly fauna distinctive. The book contains a full log of records of species on the islands and much supporting information. The first three chapters set the scene, illustrating the basics of island biogeography theory, their changing circumstances during the current Holocene interglacial, and studies of natural history of British butterflies that mark the islands as the most intensively studied region for wildlife in the world. The book advances by increasing resolution downscale from a European continental perspective, through patterns and changes on the British mainland, a comparison of the two dominant islands of Britain and Ireland, to a close inspection of the dynamics of species on the multitude of offshore islands. Detailed investigations include contrasts in species' richness on the islands and then of the incidences of each species. Case studies highlight the continual turnover of species on islands. Attention is then given to evolutionary changes since the time that glaciers enveloped Europe. A powerful message is conveyed for the maintenance of butterfly species on the smaller British islands now experiencing population losses at a rate unprecedented since the spread of the last ice sheets: the incontrovertible importance of maintaining populations of species on nearby mainland sources for islands as pools for future migrants.

Power And Community

By: Dennis Altman

Power And Community

By: Dennis Altman

This book provides a global overview of the role of the community sector, examining in detail the origins and activities of community organizations in Europe, the Americas, Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Pacific. It also describes the impact of sexuality and gender on AIDS activism and AIDS organizing, as well as broader cultural responses to the epidemic. It charts the emergence and development of the community sector response to HIV and AIDS, illustrating the factors that led affected individuals and communities to organize, question, challenge and redefine initial governmental responses to the epidemic. It describes the contribution of the community / NGO sector to global efforts to prevent the spread of the disease, highlighting tensions which have sometimes arisen within community based organizations themselves: tensions between activism and service provision, between altruism and self help, between volunteer participation and management control, and between fluidity of function and increasing bureaucratization. "Power and Community" has grown out of the author's intellectual and political commitment to the idea that without support from strong community based responses, public health systems will fail to deal with the crisis of AIDS. Dennis Altman analyzes the practical dilemmas which have confronted community based organizations around the world, and the political significance of their ability to motivate and mobilize affected communities. The result is a book which should be a valuable resource for researchers, community organizations, policy makers and activists alike.

Majesty, A Story to Be Shared

From the Ancient Book of Clachmabenstane

By: Scrkven Sir Scrkven,Dennis M. Paul,Scrven Sir Scrven

On the road to Carlyle stands a monument to the human spirit, the giant Stone of Liberty. There, great kings once gathered in the name of justice. 'Twas hallowed ground, reverently remembered; 'twas Clac-gh-mab-enstane, of ancient lore. The journal presented, herein, dear readers, is the account of Sir ScrAven, royal scribe to the Court of Sterlingshire. It was the belief to which he steadfastly held, that only through faith and the love of family can we endure troubled times. It was his hope that by bringing to light the fundamental goodness of mankind, his work would stand as a monument to the strength of the human spirit, as to the gift of grace. It is offered in the name of children, for they are the future, barely begun; set forth in faith, born of belief, for as we believe so shall we succeed. It was related in humility, for as we are humble, so shall we achieve greatness, and it is recalled for the sake of the courageous, insomuch as bravery does not come of being unafraid, but rather, it abides in facing our fears and going on just the same. In that regard, should knighthood one day vanish into the mist, may the gallant among you long persist. So, too, may the Majesty within forever shine as a guiding light and the courage of your convictions see you through the darkest night. May you demonstrate true kindness to people everywhere and may the story before you long be shared, for nobility rests not in robes or a crown; it lies in the path you choose to walk down.
