In an honor culture, because reputation is everything, people will go to great lengths to defend their reputations and those of their family members against real and perceived threats and insults. While most human societies throughout history can be described as "honor cultures," the United States is particularly well known for having a deeply rooted culture of honor, especially in the American South and West. In Honor Bound, social psychologist Ryan P. Brown integrates social science research, current events, and personal stories to explore and explain how honor underpins nearly every aspect of our lives, from spontaneous bar fights to organized acts of terrorism, romantic relationships, mental health and well-being, unsportsmanlike conduct in football, the commission of suicide, foreign policy decisions by political leaders, and even how parents name their babies. Sometimes the effects of living in an honor culture are subtle and easily missed--there are fewer nursing homes in the American south, as more parents live with their children as they age--and sometimes the effects are more dramatic, as in the case that there are more school shootings in honor states, but they are always relevant. By illuminating a surprising and pervasive thread that has endured in our culture for centuries, Brown's narrative will captivate those raised in these types of honor cultures who wish to understand themselves, and those who wish to better understand their neighbors.HonorPhilosophy302/.1Brown Ryan P.1519940BOOK9910794228003321Honor Bound3758339UNINA05398nam 22007215 450 991034950240332120250227201146.09783030171957electronic book3030171957electronic book10.1007/978-3-030-17195-7(OCoLC)1112424249(CKB)4100000008959072(MiAaPQ)EBC5851271(DE-He213)978-3-030-17195-7(PPN)242825346(EXLCZ)99410000000895907220190813d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierInterior lighting fundamentals, technology and application /Wout van BommelCham :Springer,[2019]©20191 online resource (xx, 483 pages pages) illustrationsIncludes bibliographic references and index.PART I FUNDAMENTALS -- Visual Mechanism -- Colour -- Visual Performance -- Visual Satisfaction -- Non-Visual Biological Mechanism -- Light, Sleep, Alertness and Performance -- Shift Work, Light, Sleep and Performance -- Age Effects -- Therapeutic Effects -- Hazardous Effects -- PART II TECHNOLOGY -- Lamps, Gear and Drivers -- Daylight -- Luminaires -- Lighting Controls -- Light Beyond Lighting -- PART III APPLICATION -- Lighting Quality and Standards -- Design Aspects -- Calculations and Measurements.This book outlines the underlying principles on which interior lighting should be based, provides detailed information on the lighting hardware available today and gives guidance for the design of interior lighting installations resulting in good visual performance and comfort, alertness and health. The book is divided into three parts. Part One discusses the fundamentals of the visual and non-visual mechanisms and the practical consequences for visual performance and comfort, for sleep, daytime alertness and performance, and includes chapters on age effects, therapeutic effects and hazardous effects of lighting. Part Two deals with the lighting hardware: lamps (with emphasis on LEDs), gear, drivers and luminaires including chapters about lighting controls and LEDs beyond lighting. Part Three is the application part, providing the link between theory and practice and supplying the reader with the knowledge needed for lighting design. It describes the relevant lighting criteria for good and efficient interior lighting and discusses the International, European and North American standards and recommendations for interior lighting. A particular focus is on solid state light sources (LEDs) and the possibility to design innovative, truly-sustainable lighting installations that are adaptable to changing circumstances. The design of such installations is difficult and the book offers details of the typical characteristics of the many different solid state light sources, and of the aspects determining the final quality of interior lighting. Essential reading for interior lighting designers, lighting engineers and architects, the book will also be a useful reference for researchers and students.
