    Robocar and Urban Space Evolution (Paperback)
    Robocar and Urban Space Evolution (Paperback)
    How can we create more human-centered, resilient, and sustainable cities in the tech age? Can we make use of technology and the opportunities presented rather than resisting its fast-paced evolution? What are the biggest and most likely spatial changes that autonomous vehicles will bring in cities? How can this change in mobility contribute to a better urban environment? To what extent do the spatial opportunities created by automated mobility respond to current urban issues and what is the role of urban design and spatial planning in this debate? Autonomous cars -Robocars- will dramatically change urban environments and the practice of urbanism, potentially making cities less dependent on and less dominated by cars. Driverless and mainly guided by digital infrastructure, Robocars can open up new opportunities for urban development. If guided by sustainable development goals, mobility automation can lead to urban we understand as a shared paradigm shift in mobility and urban design. To

    The Return of Ethics and Spirituality in Global Development (Paperback)
    The Return of Ethics and Spirituality in Global Development (Paperback)
    The theory of modernization basically reduces the meaning of development to economic growth often measured by Growth Domestic Product of the country or overall purchase power parity of the nation. This approach ignores the variety of perspectives on development, hence excludes the role of culture, identity, and spirituality as social determinants of good development. More importantly, modernization theory which informs the mainstream view on development ignores the structural causes of underdevelopment, including colonial heritage or the current unbridled capitalism in many societies. Against reductionist views of development, fundamental questions are raised about the theory and programming of development. From what perspective is the conception of development perceived? Who should decide and depict development goals? What kind of development could result in desirable changes? Is it morally desirable to dictate an exclusively Western understanding of development to others? Is there

    And it was not good anymore (Paperback)
    And it was not good anymore (Paperback)
    The ecofeminist theologies of Sallie McFague and Catherine Keller are seemingly opposed to the dialectical theology of Kornelis Heiko Miskotte. In this study, their theologies are brought into a staged discussion to address the question of how we might think about the relationship between God and the more-than-human nature of our times. An ecofeminist theology that acknowledges God's alterity in the intimacy of the flesh, offers a prophetic way to relate to the endangerment of life on Earth. McFAGUE and KELLER propose an image of God that is bodily and immanently interconnected with the more-than-human nature. Such an image of God, which implies thinking beyond human centrism, is significant in our context of ecological crisis. Like his theological friend Karl Barth, MISKOTTE rejected natural theology, but he is also known for his intense love of 'nature' and unwavering valuation of earthly life. Although he thought of God as entirely different, Miskotte believed that God is also

    Primal Human 2.1 (Hardback)
    Primal Human 2.1 (Hardback)
    Even though we've never been better off, obesity, depression, stress, and addictions to screen time and unhealthy food are rampant. Why is this happening? Primal Human 2.1 shows that we weren't made for our modern way of life. Our amazing ancient genes are struggling with all these everyday temptations and this is making us feel miserable. Stress, our age-old reaction to danger, is now one of the biggest killers on Earth because we're always 'on'. Our longing for rewards in the shape of 'likes' on social media are blocking genuine contact. But there is hope: by rediscovering our inner cave-dweller and giving it a more prominent place in our lives. Primal Human 2.1 is a plea to get closer to our nature and let progress work for us rather than against us. Mikkel Hofstee (1969) with his company, Lifeguard, has supported tens of thousands of people towards leading healthier and happier lives. He's married with three children. Includes an interview with Dr. Jane Goodall, Ph.D, D.B.E.

    International framework agreements and fundamental social rights (Paperback)
    International framework agreements and fundamental social rights (Paperback)
    In an era of economic globalisation, the declining regulatory role of governments competing for investment and the rising power of multinational enterprises are leading to a race to the bottom in the area of fundamental social rights. This issue needs to be redressed. It is essential to promote fundamental social rights, at both national and international level, in order to give economic globalisation a more human face. At present, the advancement of social rights is mainly in the hands of the International Labour Organisation, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the United Nations, which provide minimum labour standards that focus on governments and enterprises. Due to a lack of political will to develop legally binding agreements that directly address multinational enterprises, the implementation and recognition of fundamental social principles and standards throughout global supply chains are based mainly on soft law. In practice, social rights are largely

    Arctic: Life Inside the Arctic Circlepresents a snapshot of what life is like in the frosty world of this wintry paradise, its challenges far removed from those of our own more temperate climate. The Arctic may be cold and remote, but it is far from being a barren wasteland; in fact, it is teeming with life and activity, and is one of the most beautiful places on our planet. Arctic includes stunning photographs of the region's most inspiring landscapes and the animal residents of this northernmost area of the world, and an insight into how industry, research, and tourism has impacted the terrain. Ranging across continents to the furthest, icy reaches of the Arctic Circle, this book travels from Russia and Scandinavia to Greenland, Canada, and the USA, taking in glaciers, icebergs, summer tundra, and sea ice. On this journey, we are introduced to such animals as the polar bears of Svalbard, get to know how the Arctic's human inhabitants operate and survive in an extreme environment, s…

    Logic and Islam (Paperback)
    Logic and Islam (Paperback)
    In part II of this book series Logic and Islam, we answer the main question: can science prove that the Holy Quran is from Almighty God and has a divine origin? To answer this question, we gathered 77 scientific miracles from the Holy Quran. These miracles are scientific issues that have been revealed 1400 years ago and proven to be correct through our modern science and technology. We present each scientific issue from revelation and historical points of view, by comparing the year of its revelation with that of its discovery by modern science. The 77 scientific issues are grouped in six different categories: 1) astronomical issues, 2) earth science issues, 3) medical and biological issues, 4) animal and plant issues, 5) physics issues and 6) historical issues. By using the theory of probability, we demonstrate that the possibility to predict all 77 issues correctly by chance is quasi-zero. In other words, if a human being tried to predict the 77 issues correctly, they would need an

    Productomschrijving

    Our understanding of human evolution is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over the last years due to spectacular fossil finds, reconstructions based on genome comparison, ancient DNA sequencing and new insights into developmental genetics. This book takes an integrative approach in which the development of the human embryo, the evolutionary history of our body, the structure of human populations, their dispersal over the world and their cultures are examined by integrating paleoanthropology, developmental biology, comparative zoology, population genetics and phylogenetic reconstruction. The authors discuss questions like: - What do we know about ancient humans? - What happens in the development of an embryo? - How did we manage to walk upright and why did we lose our hair? - What is the relationship between language, migration and evolution? - How does our body respond to the challenges of modern society? In addition to being a core text for the study of the life sciences, 'Human
