Technologies are rarely, if ever, socially isolated artefacts. Instead, they materially represent an embodiment of values and priorities. Nuclear power is no different. It is a product of a particular political economy and the question is whether that political economy can helpfully engage with the challenge of addressing the environmental crisis on a finite, inequitable and shared planet. For developing countries like India, who are presently making infrastructure investments which will have long legacies, it is imperative thaRoutledge Explorations in Environmental StudiesNuclear energyIndiaSustainable developmentIndiaElectronic books.Nuclear energySustainable development333.792/40954Mathai Manu V.1976-,944018MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462860703321Nuclear power, economic development discourse and the environment2130896UNINA04262nam 2200661 450 991016394230332120210106113355.00-226-17994-X10.7208/9780226179940(CKB)3710000001021977(MiAaPQ)EBC4780601(DE-B1597)550233(DE-B1597)9780226179940(OCoLC)968733943(EXLCZ)99371000000102197720170120h20172017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierThe art of creative research a field guide for writers /Philip GerardChicago, [Illinois] ;London, [England] :University of Chicago Press,2017.©20171 online resource (235 pages)Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and PublishingIncludes index.0-226-17980-X 0-226-17977-X Frontmatter -- Contents -- Prologue: On fire for research (an homage to Larry brown) -- 1.

For some this means poring over records and combing, archives but for many creative writers research happens in the everyday world—when they scribble an observation on the subway, when they travel to get the feel for a city, or when they strike up a conversation with an interesting stranger. The Art of Creative Research helps writers take this natural inclination to explore and observe and turn it into a workable—and enjoyable—research plan. It shows that research shouldn’t be seen as a dry, plodding aspect of writing. Instead, it’s an art that all writers can master, one that unearths surprises and fuels imagination. This lends authenticity to fiction and poetry as well as nonfiction. Philip Gerard distills the process into fundamental questions: How do you conduct research? And what can you do with the information you gather? He covers both in-person research and work in archives and illustrates how the different types of research can be incorporated into stories, poems, and essays using examples from a wide range of writers in addition to those from his own projects. Throughout, Gerard brings knowledge from his seasoned background into play, drawing on his experiences as a reporter and a writer of both fiction and nonfiction. His enthusiasm for adventure is infectious and will inspire writers to step away from the keyboard and into the world. “Research can take you to that golden intersection where the personal meets the public, the private crosses the universal, where the best literature lives,” Gerard writes. With his masterly guidance, anyone can become an expert in artful investigation.Chicago guides to writing, editing, and publishing.AuthorshipResearchCreative writingaccess to sources.archives.emotional risk.ethics of reporting.imagination.interviewing.narrative intelligence.primary sources.research plan.the actuality.the zone of noise.Authorship.Research.Creative writing.808.02Gerard Philip899175MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163942303321The art of creative research2008857UNINA
