Sinopsis

Wellington Earthquakes explores the profound influence of seismic events on Wellington, New Zealand, examining how they've shaped its history, infrastructure, and resilience. The book reveals how the city's identity has been forged through its repeated encounters with earthquakes, spurring innovations in building techniques and disaster preparedness. Wellington, situated in a seismically active region, offers valuable lessons for urban environments worldwide. For example, the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake dramatically altered the landscape, raising parts of the coastline and impacting settlement patterns.

 
Beginning with the geological setting of Wellington and the tectonic forces at play, the book analyzes major earthquakes like the 1848 Marlborough earthquake, detailing the extent of damage and the immediate responses. It progresses to examining the evolution of earthquake engineering and building codes, integrating historical narratives with scientific data from newspaper reports, government records, and personal accounts.

 
The book uniquely combines historical narrative with scientific analysis and concludes by assessing Wellington’s current preparedness measures and identifying areas for improvement, emphasizing practical steps for enhancing community resilience and seismic preparedness.

    Pandemics - A Very Short...

    The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. In 2019 and the years that followed, the coronavirus pandemic infected every continent and took the lives of millions. In this updated edition, Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease.This Very Short Introduction describes history's major pandemics. McMillen discusses state responses to pandemics, such as quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, and other forms of social control, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosion of medical research in the wake of pandemics, especially as the germ theory of disease emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, medicine is able to control all of these diseases, yet some of them are still devastating in much of the developing world. By assessing the relationship between poverty and disease and the geography of epidemics, McMillen offers an outspoken and thought-provoking point of view on the necessity for global governments to learn from past experiences and cooperate to prevent any future epidemic.

    The speed of technological development, from cell phones to artificial intelligence, opens up exciting new opportunities for promoting human flourishing. It also raises grave risks, threatening not only personal privacy and dignity but also our collective survival. Technologies of Human Rights Representation brings together three fields of research critical to securing our future: changing technologies, human rights, and representation. For each of these fields, this book asks key questions: How can we open the black box of technological advances so that we can more fully understand their effects upon our lives? What can we do to make sure that these effects align with the values of human rights? And how does the way we talk about technology and rights—from military reports and corporate marketing to human rights reports and poetry—amplify or diminish our capacity both to understand and to control what happens next? Contributors from anthropology, communications, criminology, global studies, law, literary and cultural studies, and women and gender studies bring diverse methodological approaches to these crucial questions.

    A Croft in the Hills captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was really like trying to make a living out of a hill croft near Loch Ness fifty years ago. A couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, immerse themselves in the practicalities of looking after sheep, cattle and hens, mending fences, baking bread, and surviving the worst that Scottish winters can throw at them. 
     
     
     
    Their neighbors are few, but among them they find the generosity and community spirit that has survived in the Highlands for generations. Working as a tight family unit, they learn to cope, and in time grow to love their little croft. As Neil Gunn writes in his Foreword, their lives gain extra dimensions that 'give the book its unusual quality, its brightness, and its wisdom'.
