Museums and Societal Collapse

The Museum as Lifeboat

By: Robert R. Janes

Museums and Societal Collapse explores the implications of societal collapse from a multidisciplinary perspective and considers the potential museums have to contribute to the reimagining and transitioning of a new society with the threat of collapse. Arguing that societal collapse is underway, but that total collapse is not inevitable, Janes maintains that museums are well-positioned to mitigate and adapt to the disruptions of societal collapse. As institutions of the commons, belonging to and affecting the public at large, he contends that museums are both responsible and capable of contributing to the durability and well-being of individuals, families, and communities, and enhancing societal resilience in the face of critical issues confronting our species. Within the pages of this groundbreaking book, Janes demonstrates how museums and their staff, as key civic resources with ethical responsibilities, can examine the meaning and value of their work, how that work is organized and managed, and to what end. This is a call to action, demonstrating how museums can move the conversation about collapse into society at large. Museums and Societal Collapse will be essential reading for museum professionals working in museums and galleries, as well as for cultural and civil society organizations around the world. It will also be an essential reading for academics and students of Museum and Heritage Studies, Gallery Studies, Heritage Management, and Arts Management.

Five Minutes Is a Long Time

By: Otto Robert Theurkauf

From 1950 to 200, Otto. Robert Theurkauf had the uncommon experience of working fifty years for one firm, Scudder, Stevens and Clark. He had his victories and his defeats. But then, in April 1982, as Chairman of Scudders Investment Policy Committee, he predicted the end of the a bear market, a twelve year period when the market had been under water. To the complete surprise of almost all, 1982 was the start of the greatest bull market of all time. His story is a journey from One Wall Street, to California, to Japan, and back to Park Avenue and with some interesting places in between. His transfer to California in 1962 at age 35 was a turning point in his personal development as well as his career. There was more than on future path along the way. His life could have turned out differently, but it didnt. His good show hunter, Indiana Jones, is twenty five years old and is retired in Florida. Since Indy doesnt want to show any more, neither does Theurkauf and he is also retired from showing. Theurkauf and his wife live in a small town fifty miles north of New York City.

Heavy Metals in the Marine Environment

By: Robert W. Furness

The aim of this volume is to draw together state-of-the-art reviews of knowledge onlevels of heavy metals in marine environments (particularly in marine animals), the dynamicprocesses in these systems, toxic effects, and threats presented by heavy metals in foods ofmarine origin.All heavy metals, whether biologically essential or not, have the potential to be toxicto organisms at a threshold bioavailability. Such threshold concentrations vary betweenmetals, between species and with the physicochemical characteristics of the medium, somelike copper being particularly toxic even though essential in trace amounts. Responses ofanimals to metals in their medium or food depend to a large extent on the ability of speciesto regulate levels attained in their tissues. Higher animals have the capacity to regulate levelsof many metals, while marine invertebrates can regulate some within certain limits. Whereanimals cannot regulate physiological levels of metals, an alternative strategy is to detoxifyand store metals in relatively harmless forms. Knowledge of the manner in which animals deal with potentially toxic concentrations of heavy metals is of fundamental importance in the assessment of metal pollution by analysis of metal levels in biological samples. The interaction of heavy metals with biological materials is a key theme running through this volume. Toxic effects may be reflected at the individual, population, or ecosystem level, affecting species composition and production levels, or may be of direct dietary significance to man. The global cycling of metals through the marine environment is crucially affected by biological processes.

With humor, wit, and a lot of adrenaline, Robert Lefebvre has compiled a collection of Montreal Canadiens stories sure to please any hockey fan.

EBOOK: Implementing Excellence in your Health Care Organization: Managing, Leading and Collaborating

By: Robert McSherry,Jerry Warr

This second book in this practical, introductory series on practice issues in healthcare, explores the key issues and factors which influence the workings of a healthcare organisation and how these may be addressed through collaborative working and user focused care - at an introductory and practical level. The book will be presented in three sections: Working in Organisations Collaborative working User Focused Care The emphasis of this second text is on how the organization and those who work within it contribute to (both positively and negatively) the excellence of the healthcare organization and the care it gives. Rather than a theoretical tome on team working, leadership and change management, this book instead highlights and explores the tools and techniques that ALL healthcare staff need to be successful employees and managers delivering excellent care. The authors will outline and examine the evidence available for all areas covered, both to support and to critique excellence standards, and give a lively and practical introduction to the key organizational factors of a healthcare setting. Meaty topics abound, including: Management & leadership, ethics, equity, governance, user-involvement, team working, interprofessional excellence. The focus on multiprofessional working will make this accessible to a variety of healthcare groups. In keeping with the series, the book will include case examples, real-life practice and reflective exercises, as well as the theory needed to inform delivery of excellence.

Cavalry Operations in the Ancient Greek World

By: Robert E. Gaebel

In this comprehensive narrative, Robert E. Gaebel challenges conventional views of cavalry operations in the Greek world. Applying both military and historical perspectives, Gaebel shows that until the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., cavalry played a larger role than is commonly recognized. Gaebel traces the operational use of cavalry in the ancient Greek world from circa 500 to 150 B.C., the end of Greek and Macedonian independence. Emphasizing the Greek and Hellenistic periods (359322 B.C.), he provides information about the military use of horses in the eastern Mediterranean, Greek stable management and horse care, and broad battlefield goals.

Medical English as a Lingua Franca

By: M. Gregory Tweedie,Robert C. Johnson

In this first book-length treatment of MELF, the authors assert that MELF represents an important contribution to our understanding of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), in that existing ELF research has been limited to relatively low stakes communicative situations, such as interactions in business, academia, internet blogging or casual conversations. Medical contexts, in contrast, often represent situations calling for exceptional communicative precision and urgency. Providing both evidence from their own research and analysis from (the limited number of) existing studies, the authors offer a counterpoint to the optimism regarding communicative success prevalent in ELF. The book proposes a theoretical perspective on how the various features of healthcare communication serve as important variables in shaping interaction among speakers of ELF, further enlarging our understanding of this emerging sub-field.
