    Effective Theories in Physics : From Planetary Orbits to Elementary Particle Masses (2012)
    Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin / Heidelberg
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Science -- Philosophy ; Science ; Philosophy ; Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: There is significant interest in the Philosophy of Science community to understand the role that "effective theories" have in the work of forefront science. The ideas of effective theories have been implicit in science for a long time, but have only been articulated well in the last few decades. Since Wilson's renormalization group revolution in the early 1970's, the science community has come to more fully understand its power, and by the mid-1990's it had gained its apotheosis. It is still one of the most powerful concepts in science, which has direct impact in how one thinks about and formulates theories of nature. It is this power that this Brief sets out to emphasize through historical analysis and current examples.

    Changing Deserts : Integrating People and their Environment (2012)
    Winwick, Cambridgeshire : The White Horse Press
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Deserts ; Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: Deserts - vast, empty places where time appears to stand still. The very word conjures images of endless seas of sand, blistering heat and a virtual absence of life. However, deserts encompass a large variety of landscapes and life beyond our stereotypes. As well as magnificent Saharan dunes under blazing sun, the desert concept encompasses the intensely cold winters of the Gobi, the snow-covered expanse of Antarctica and the rock-strewn drylands of Pakistan. Deserts are environments in perpetual flux and home to peoples as diverse as their surroundings, peoples who grapple with a broad spectrum of cultural, political and environmental issues as they wrest livelihoods from marginal lands.

    Pathways : Exploring the Routes of a Movement Heritage (2022)
    Winwick, Cambridgeshire : The White Horse Press
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Cultural landscapes ; Heritage tourism ; Public history ; Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: This anthology explores possibilities to acknowledge human motion, and traces thereof, as heritage. Today, with the increasing interest in local and sustainable connections, and in bodily and spiritual enhancement, we see a growing use of walking tracks both in landscapes within reach from urban centres and in more remotely located or 'wild' areas. The corona pandemic has further propelled these trends. Of course, landscapes that are commonly understood as wilderness or 'nature' are in most cases clearly influenced by human actions and movements. While walking trails tend to be regarded as pathways to experience nature and as tools to promote public health, they could also be seen and used as routes to culture and history, indeed as pathways to the past. Based on a Swedish research project with the aim to explore the multiple dimensions of walking, paths and movement, this volume engages and discusses the potential effects of such an expansion of the heritage register.

    Details Availability
    Keywords: Environmental policy--Europe--History ; Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: Addressing the methodological challenge of a European perspective on a transnational subject - one that is commonly distorted by a national prism - this volume shows how perceptions of the environment are increasingly converging and how these convergences of views across political or linguistic borders run exert an influence not only on political debates but also on political decisions across Europe.
