Sommario/riassunto

There are outstanding women in the history of Scotland, from Mary Queen of Scots to Nicola Sturgeon. At a time when Scotland is envisaging itself as a nation again, the volume examines the part played by women in this construction. Adopting a perspective that is cultural as well as political, the contributors focus on the representation of historical characters such as Queen Mary and Queen Margaret, Marie de Guise, or women Makars, and on public and cultural policies. The volume also looks at contemporary writing, with authors such as Jackie Kay, Janice Galloway, Ali Smith, Agnes Owens, Morna Pearson or Kathleen Jamie. L’histoire de l’Écosse est jalonnée par l’importance de nombreuses femmes, de Marie Stuart à Nicola Sturgeon.  Au moment où l’Écosse s’imagine à nouveau comme une nation, le volume se penche sur la place des femmes. Dans une perspective tantôt culturelle tantôt politique, les contributeurs analysent la représentation de figures historiques telles que les reines Mary et Margaret, Marie de Guise ou les femmes Makar, mais aussi les politiques publiques et culturelles. Enfin, une partie est consacrée aux auteures contemporaines, Jackie Kay, Janice Galloway, Ali Smith, ou encore Agnes Owens, Morna Pearson ou Kathleen Jamie.

Sommario/riassunto

Responsible Care - A Case Study is the first book of its kind to provide insight into the development and evolution of Responsible Care and its influence of societal outcomes on the basis of case studies. It provides readers in industry, government, and academia with the principles and innovative thinking associated with the Responsible Care ethic as a means to promote and implement such advanced concepts in their own institution. The book is not only a teaching aid for university curriculum, it also serves as a practical tool to industrial management and staff to improve industrial policies. The last chapter illustrates a practical example of a workshop held at McMaster University, Canada,



which can be used as a model for readers to use this book as an educational tool.
