Sommario/riassunto |
|
This Handbook addresses the role of women in communism as a global, social and political movement for the first time, exploring their lives, forms of activism, political strategies and transnational networks. Comprising twenty-five chapters, based on new and primary research, the book presents the lives of self-identified communist women from a truly international perspective and outlines their struggles against fascism and colonialism, and for women’s emancipation and national liberation. By using the lens of transnational political biography, the chapters capture the broader picture of these women’s lives, unpacking the links between the so-called public and private, the power structures and inequalities of their societies, the formal networks and politics in which they were involved, and the informal connections and friendships that supported their activism both at the national and international level. Challenging androcentric and Eurocentric narratives about communism, this Handbook reveals the active and significant roles of women in nineteenth- and twentieth-century communist movements and regimes, and highlights the importance of communist women in shaping the agenda for women’s rights worldwide. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This new compendium provides a nuanced look at monitoring, measuring, and modeling air quality pollution in conjunction with its effects on public health and the environment. Air pollution has been proven to be a major environmental risk to health. Protecting and improving air quality requires knowledge about the types and levels of pollutants being emitted. It also requires the best possible measurement and monitoring capabilities. Air Quality: Monitoring, Measuring, and Modeling Environmental Hazards provides an overview of low-cost sensors adoption for air quality monitoring. The book then goes on to examine modeling and monitoring systems from different sources of criteria air contaminants (CAC), or criteria pollutants, including those generated from waste incineration; industrial emissions; urban air pollution; agriculture. Chapters look at comparative analyses of monitoring devices and management practices along with different sources of pollutants, such as from manufacturing plants, municipal solid waste, exhaust gases, shale natural gas |

extraction, steel-making plants, post-harvest agricultural-waste burning, and other sources. With air quality at the forefront of the world's attention, this valuable volume provides information on measurement and monitoring capabilities to help researchers, scientists, policymakers, and others create better and cleaner air quality policies and management practices."-- |
