Gender, Water and Development By Tina Wallace, Anne Coles
2005 | 253 Pages | ISBN: 1845201248 | PDF | 2 MB
A close analysis of current policy and practice shows that organizations providing improved water supplies to poor communities typically neglect the gendered nature of access to and control over water resources. The resulting gender bias causes inefficiencies and injustices in water provision and reduces the effectiveness of well-meant efforts. This book shows how in different environmental, historical and cultural contexts gender has been an important element in water provision. It draws on a wide range of first-hand material, analyzed from different disciplinary perspectives. Case studies include analysis of the role of water in inhibiting the fight against HIV/AIDS in southern Africa and the challenges of taking gender into account in large water projects in India and Nepal.

Flat Earthers Around the Globe by James Egan
English | February 6, 2019 | ISBN: 024499711X | 198 pages | PDF | 0.57 Mb
Although you may think this book's title is a joke, I assure you that there are people today that adamantly believe the world is flat. Worse still, the number of Flat Earthers has been increasing in recent years. How could that be possible? NASA has taken photos of the Earth from space to confirm it is round. According to The Flat Earth Society, NASA are lying. NASA never went to space... because space isn't real. You might find this concept preposterous. Are Flat Earthers suggesting every astronomer and physicist is wrong? No. Flat Earthers believe that so-called "scientists" know the Earth is flat but they are lying. Why would anyone lie about the shape of the Earth? How can Flat Earthers be so sure? If the Earth is flat, why doesn't the oceans spill out at the sides? All of these questions will be explained in this book. Read on to learn the history of the Flat Earth community, why they believe what they believe, and most importantly, how we know their beliefs are irrefutably false.

Experiencing Music Video: Aesthetics and Cultural Context By Carol Vernallis
2004 | 359 Pages | ISBN: 023111799X | PDF | 4 MB
The music video was born because of a sudden expansion of new broadcast channels in search of cheap programming and a boom in new editing equipment and visual postproduction effects. It has exerted an enormous influence on popular music: pop songs are now longer, more open, and malleable. Here at last is a study that treats music video as a distinct multimedia artistic genre, different from film, television, and photography. Carol Vernallis describes how musical and visual codes work together in music video and reveals modes of representing race, class, gender, and sexuality that have come to characterize the music video form. The book explores the function of narrative, settings, props, costumes, space, lyrics, and much more. Above all, Vernallis takes the form seriously. Three chapters of the book contain close analysis of popular videos: Madonna's ''Cherish,'' Prince's ''Gett Off,'' and Peter Gabriel's ''Mercy St.''
