Download or read book Environmental Policy and Public Health written by Barry L. Johnson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by environmental health experts with long teaching and professional careers in policy and public health, the third edition of Environmental Policy and Public Health comprises two volumes addressing key physical hazards in the environment that impact public health. The first volume on Principal Health Hazards and Mitigation is complemented by the second volume, Emerging Health Hazards and Mitigation. The health of the environment is inextricably linked to that of people. Thoroughly updated, Volume 1 describes how the quality of air, water, and food is threatened by the presence of toxic substances and explains why climate change is a global health priority already impacting human health and the environment. The mitigations discussed in this volume are twofold: policies that are intended for control of specific hazards and suggested hazard interventions. The role of policy in addressing each of these key environmental health areas is extensively discussed in this volume as well. Each chapter explains step by step how new environmental health issues are translated into public health policies and concludes with practice questions to facilitate interactive learning for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in public health and environmental sciences. The step-by step approach, as well as the case studies and practice questions, allow for a diverse portfolio of in-person and hybrid pedagogical strategies and tools at the fingertips of faculty who not only teach policy courses, but whose course topics, such as climate and health, have policy relevance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since 1993 the world-famous site of Catalhoyuk in Turkey has been the subject of major new excavations and research by an international team of archaeologists, led by Ian Hodder. The present volume, the sixth in the Catalhoyuk monograph series, draws on material from Volumes 3, 4 and 5 to deal with broad themes and provide a synthesis of the results of the recent fieldwork. evidence from architecture and excavation contexts is linked into a broader discussion of key topics of life at Catalhoyuk such as seasonality, art and social memory. The volume goes beyond the basic excavation and laboratory results that have been presented in Volumes 3 to 5 to present more synthetic accounts that arise from the high degree of integration and collaboration between specialists for which the project has striven at all stages. It is in this current volume the Catalhoyuk team most clearly describe the 'stories they have been telling ourselves' during the process of recovering and interpreting the evidence. This volume thus contextualizes the work described in Volumes 3 to 5, recording the framework of thought within which the data were collected and studies, and the interpretation that emerged directly from the interaction between team members and the diverse categories of evidence."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Computerization and Work written by Ulrich Briefs and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reader contains contributions referring to one of the most urgent problems in systems design: the effects of computerization on human work and approaches to ameliorate systems design in order to create better conditions for living human work in a computerized world. Of course the choice of papers has been operated somewhat arbitrarily. It primarily reflects the work of IFIP's Working Group 9.1. "Compu ters and Work" and of some of its members. The papers were compiled aiming at focussing on very material pro blems in the field of "Computers and Work". They substantively re flect in several points the discussions and the concern of the Wor king Group. Some conclusions from a series of workshops held from 1980 onward by the Working Group are likewise contained and directed to the IFIP community and to other parties concerned. The reader inserts itself into a rather extended line of activities of the Working Group: in addition to contributions to the two IFIP Working Conferences on Human Choice and Computers held in 1974 and in 1979 (proceedings published by North Holland) a recent IFIP Wor king Conference on Systems Design For, With and By the Users (held in September 82, proceedings published in March 83 by North Holland) and a joint TC3/TC9 Working Conference on Education for Systems De signer/User Co-operation (proceedings to be published by end 84).
