  • Release : 2015-12-11
  • ISBN : 1403981906
  • Pages : 247 pages

Download or read book The Work of the Sun written by T. Underwood and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the Eighteenth century, British writers began to celebrate work in a strangely indirect way. Instead of describing diligence as an attribute of character, poets and novelists increasingly identified work with impersonal 'energies' akin to natural force. Chemists traced mental and muscular work back to its source in sunlight, giving rise to the claim (beloved by Nineteenth-century journalists) that 'all the labour done under the sun is really done by it'. The Work of The Sun traces the emergence of this model of work, exploring its sources in middle-class consciousness and its implications for British literature and science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, skin cancer is the most diagnosed cancer, with one in three cancers being a skin cancer. For outdoor workers, prolonged sun exposure is an important workplace hazard that can cause skin cancer and heat stress, both of which are largely preventable. However, outdoor workers are regularly over-exposed to the sun, often exceeding the recognized exposure limits by many times. They are also often not well protected. As implementing effective sun safety measures is challenging, this Guide, along with its supporting resources, will help workplaces better protect their outdoor workers. This Guide provides a step-by-step process to develop a Sun Safety Program that is designed to complement existing safety practices and be embedded within a workplace's occupational health and safety management system.

  • Author : John King
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2011-01-06
  • ISBN : 1139494392
  • Pages : 311 pages

Download or read book Reaching for the Sun written by John King and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From their ability to use energy from sunlight to make their own food, to combating attacks from diseases and predators, plants have evolved an amazing range of life-sustaining strategies. Written with the non-specialist in mind, John King's lively natural history explains how plants function, from how they gain energy and nutrition to how they grow, develop and ultimately die. New to this edition is a section devoted to plants and the environment, exploring how problems created by human activities, such as global warming, pollution of land, water and air, and increasing ocean acidity, are impacting on the lives of plants. King's narrative provides a simple, highly readable introduction, with boxes in each chapter offering additional or more advanced material for readers seeking more detail. He concludes that despite the challenges posed by growing environmental perils, plants will continue to dominate our planet.

Book Leaving Yuba City

  • Author : Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
  • Publisher : Anchor
  • Release : 2009-09-15
  • ISBN : 0307476766
  • Pages : 128 pages

Download or read book Leaving Yuba City written by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Divakaruni's much-loved and bestselling short story collection Arranged Marriage, this collection of poetry deals with India and the Indian experience in America, from the adventures of going to a convent school in India run by Irish nuns (Growing up in Darjeeling) to the history of the earliest Indian immigrants in the U.S. (Yuba City Poems). Groups of interlinked poems divided into six sections are peopled by many of the same characters and explore varying themes. Here, Divakaruni is particularly interested in how different art forms can influence and inspire each other. One section, entitled Indian Miniatures, is based on and named after a series of paintings by Francesco Clemente. Another, called Moving Pictures, is based on Indian films, including Mira Nair's "Salaam Bombay" and Satyajit Ray's "Ghare Baire." Photographs by Raghubir Singh inspired the section entitled Rajasthani. The trials and tribulations of growing up and immigration are also considered here and, as with all of Divakaruni's writing, these poems deal with the experience of women and their struggle to find identities for themselves. This collection is touched with the same magic and universal appeal that excited readers of Arranged Marriage. In Leaving Yuba City, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni proves once again her remarkable literary talents.

  • Release : 2023-11-15
  • ISBN : 1003822835
  • Pages : 85 pages

Download or read book Happy by Design written by Ben Channon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can good design truly make us happier? Given that we spend over 80% of our time in buildings, shouldn't we have a better understanding of how they make us feel? Happy by Design explores the ways in which buildings, spaces and cities affect our moods. It reveals how architecture and design can make us happy and support mental health, and explains how poor design can have the opposite effect. Presented through a series of easy-to-understand design tips and accompanied by beautiful diagrams and illustrations, Happy by Design is a fantastic resource for architects, designers and students, or for anybody who would like to better understand the relationship between buildings and happiness. With the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis, the importance of designing for mental wellbeing has never been higher on the agenda. Whether through low-energy design, designing in better ventilation to avoid passing on pathogens or the realisation of the importance of accessing nature within an environment, this revised edition has been updated to reflect a changed world.

Book Michael Borremans  Fire from the Sun

Download or read book Michael Borremans Fire from the Sun written by Michael Borremans and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in a series of small-format publications devoted to single bodies of work, Fire from the Sun highlights Michaël Borremans’s new work, which features toddlers engaged in playful but mysterious acts with sinister overtones and insinuations of violence. Known for his ability to recall classical painting, both through technical mastery and subject matter, Borremans’s depiction of the uncanny, the perhaps secret, the bizarre, often surprises, sometimes disturbs the viewer. In this series of work, children are presented alone or in groups against a studio-like backdrop that negates time and space, while underlining the theatrical atmosphere and artifice that exists throughout Borremans’s recent work. Reminiscent of cherubs in Renaissance paintings, the toddlers appear as allegories of the human condition, their archetypal innocence contrasted with their suggested deviousness. In his accompanying essay, critic and curator Michael Bracewell takes an in-depth look into specific paintings, tackling both the highly charged subject matter and the masterly command of the medium. He writes, “The art of Michaël Borremans seems always to have been predicated on a confluence of enigma, ambiguity, and painterly poetics—accosting beauty with strangeness; making historic Romanticism subjugate to mysterious controlling forces that are neither crudely malevolent nor necessarily benign.” Published on the occasion of Borremans’s eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner in Hong Kong, this publication is available in both English-only and bilingual English/traditional Chinese editions.
