Book excerpt: Around Orpington Through Time invites you to explore the fascinating history of Orpington and its district through 'then and now' photographs. The Industrial Revolution of the latter part of the nineteenth century had a big impact on the area, along with the coming of the railway in the 1860s, and the arterial road built in the 1920s changed Orpington forever. Orpington and the surrounding areas have played their part on the world stage, but it is the change within the past 100 years that this book focuses on. Covering Orpington, Chelsfield, Crofton, Downe, Farnborough, Green Street Green, Locksbottom, Petts Wood, Pratt's Bottom, St Mary Cray and St Paul's Cray, this is a 'must-have' step back in time for any resident or visitor familiar with the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coming of age happened fast for a young Dr. Shah when he was sent away to a tough British military-style boarding school in the Nilgiris Mountains of India. Dr. Shah narrates a cultural and inspirational memoir of a child maturing into a man, then father, determined to succeed despite his obstacles. With a love for history and nature, he paints his story through a lens of the landscapes he journeys. He takes you from India, to Wales and Scotland, and finally to America, where he achieves his psychiatry degree and settles with his family in beautiful West Virginia. Dr. Shah's passion for service and medicine is witnessed as he shares unique experiences of treating patients with tropical illnesses in India to psychiatric cases with children, coal miners, veterans and prisoners in the US. While sharing glimpses into patient lives, he does not shy away from his own struggles with anxiety, personal failures, cultural adjustments, and parental concerns of raising two daughters in the values of a western world. His memoir beautifully balances the challenges and joys of his life by weaving in stories of family, friendships, adventures and his now retired life in Florida. Along with a sprinkle of poetry and pictures, Dr. Shah passes on a written legacy of humanity and life lessons that portrays both heart and strength...a book not to be missed!
Download or read book Climate Change and Poverty written by Fitzpatrick, Tony and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Climate change is the main challenge facing developed countries in the 21st century. To what extent does this agenda converge with issues of poverty and social exclusion? Climate change and poverty offers a timely new perspective on the ‘ecosocial’ understanding of the causes and symptoms of, and solutions to, poverty and applies this to recent developments across a number of areas, including fuel poverty, food poverty, housing, transport and air pollution. Unlike any other publication, the book therefore establishes a new agenda for both environmental and social policies which has cross-national relevance. It will appeal to students in social policy, public policy, applied social studies and politics and will also be of interest to those studying international development, economics and geography

Download or read book Alec Nelson and British Athletics prior to World War II written by Ian Stone and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British athletics in the era of Chariots of Fire is explored through the rediscovered life of amateur and professional runner and leading British coach, Alec Nelson. Though necessary for competitive success, professional coaches were kept firmly in their place by the socially elite athletes and administrators of the sport. The contradictions and hypocrisy within athletics, and the class-based antagonism between amateurism and professionalism, are central themes of this book. The relationship between professional trainers and amateur athletes and clubs is examined, and the resistance to change while British Olympic performances increasingly fell behind. The sporting world and its main personalities are brought to life through exploring the clubs Nelson coached (Cambridge University, the Army, the Achilles Club and various Olympic teams), the athletes he trained (Harold Abrahams, Douglas Lowe and Bob Tisdall among them) and the controversies over the methods and role of coaches. The book also brings to light a remarkable partnership which crossed the lines of social class, between Nelson and his mentor, Philip Noel-Baker, a prominent Olympian and politician who attempted to modernise British athletics.

Download or read book Geography of the World s Major Regions written by John Cole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a global view of today's most pressing issues through an analysis of the twelve major regions of the world. Environmental degradation, natural catastrophe, population pressures and human conflict all impact in different ways and to different degrees on the society and environment of these regions. Economic and political restructuring within each region is covered, and topics include: natural resources; agriculture; industry and services; the role of the military; and the impact of global economic change. This work is intended as an introduction for students studying the changing geography of the world, but should also provide a useful overview to students researching specific regions, seeking comparative analysis of regions, or following general courses on the economic and political geography of both the post-industrial and the developing worlds. Over 250 photographs, maps and figures complement a range of boxed case-studies, key points, questions and guides to further reading.

Download or read book Environmental Attitudes through Time written by R. J. Berry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our attitudes to our environment are widely and often acrimoniously discussed, commonly misunderstood, and will shape our future. We cannot assume that we behave as newly minted beings in a pristine garden nor as pre-programmed automata incapable of rational responsibility. Professor Berry has studied nature-nurture interactions for many years, and also been involved with many national and international decision making bodies which have influenced our environmental attitudes. He is therefore well-placed to describe what has moulded our present attitudes towards the environment. This book presents data and concepts from a range of disciplines - genetic, anthropological, social, historical and theological - to help us understand how we have responded in the past and how this influences our future. Beginning with a historical review and moving forwards to current conditions, readers will reach the end of this volume more capable and better prepared to make decisions which affect our communities and posterity.
