Paul effortlessly guides the reader through aid theories, concepts, and processes across the disaster cycle while positing informative case studies, critiques, and prospects for more effective aid in the future. Undoubtedly a valuable text for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers alike.' Luke Juran, Virginia Tech, USA Disaster Relief Aid: Changes and Challenges provides a comprehensive analysis of disaster relief efforts undertaken globally during the last several decades, and examines the changes and challenges that have emerged over time. The book evaluates the current state of disaster relief and discusses how it may be improved. The author examines salient features of disaster relief operations and provides an overview of the development of global humanitarian assistance programs. The book also explores how disaster aid is channelled from non-affected areas to affected areas. Using five major natural and man-made disasters as case studies, the book analyses the nature and extent of emergency relief efforts undertaken for each. The final chapter covers the post-disaster convergence phenomenon; outlines the major challenges of international disaster relief operation and finally, posits recommendations on how to improve future disaster relief efforts. This is an essential interdisciplinary text on disaster response for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as an invaluable resource for disaster researchers, managers, and numerous international and national non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international agencies.Physical geographyEcologyEnvironmental managementSustainabilityEnvironmental policyEnvironmental sciencesSocial aspectsPhysical GeographyEnvironmental SciencesEnvironmental ManagementSustainabilityEnvironmental PolicyEnvironmental Social SciencesPhysical geography.Ecology.Environmental management.Sustainability.Environmental policy.Environmental sciencesSocial aspects.Physical Geography.Environmental Sciences.Environmental Management.Sustainability.Environmental Policy.Environmental Social Sciences.333.709Paul Bimal Kantiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut865560BOOK9910337896803321Disaster Relief Aid1969848UNINA04343nam 2200949Ia 450 991096168970332120200520144314.097808232521760823252175978082325218308232521839780823252855082325285X9780823251759082325175610.1515/9780823252183(CKB)3170000000060610(EBL)3239816(SSID)ssj0000871636(PQKBManifestationID)11453983(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000871636(PQKBWorkID)10822921(PQKB)11393958(StDuBDS)EDZ0000155710(MiAaPQ)EBC3239816(OCoLC)847005647(MdBmJHUP)muse22167(DE-B1597)555219(DE-B1597)9780823252183(Au-PeEL)EBL3239816(CaPaEBR)ebr10693767(OCoLC)923764163(MiAaPQ)EBC1114956(MiAaPQ)EBC4704624(Perlego)535787(Au-PeEL)EBL1114956(OCoLC)915134783(Au-PeEL)EBL4704624(CaONFJC)MIL818185(EXLCZ)99317000000006061020130204d2013 uy 0engur|||||||nn|ntxtccrHollow men writing, objects, and public image in Renaissance Italy /Susan Gaylard1st ed.New York Fordham University Press20131 online resource (384 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780823251919 0823251918 9780823251742 0823251748 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Acknowledgments --Introduction: Reinventing Nobility?

Silenus Strategies: The Failure of Personal Emblems --Afterword --Notes --Works Cited --IndexThis book relates developments in the visual arts and printing to humanist theories of literary and bodily imitation, bringing together fifteenth- and sixteenth-century frescoes, statues, coins, letters, dialogues, epic poems, personal emblems, and printed collections of portraits. Its interdisciplinary analyses show that Renaissance theories of emulating classical heroes generated a deep skepticism about self-presentation, ultimately contributing to a new awareness of representation as representation. Hollow Men shows that the Renaissance questioning of “interiority” derived from a visual ideal, the monument that was the basis of teachings about imitation. In fact, the decline of exemplary pedagogy and the emergence of modern masculine subjectivity were well underway in the mid–fifteenth century, and these changes were hastened by the rapid development of the printed image.Italian literatureTo 1400History and criticismItalian literature15th centuryHistory and criticismItalian languageEarly modern, 1500-1700Art, RenaissanceItalyHistoryMasculinity in literatureMasculinity in artRenaissanceItalyItalian literatureHistory and criticism.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.Italian languageArt, RenaissanceHistory.Masculinity in literature.Masculinity in art.Renaissance850/.9/002LIT000000HIS020000SOC032000bisacshGaylard Susan1859772MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961689703321Hollow men4463964UNINA
