Special Issue Feminist Legal Theory (Studies in Law, Politics, and Society)

Special Issue Feminist Legal Theory (Studies in Law, Politics, and Society)
Austin Sarat, "Special Issue: Feminist Legal Theory (Studies in Law, Politics, and Society) "
English | ISBN: 1785607839 | 2016 | 264 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Half a century after the beginning of the second wave, feminist legal theorists are still writing about many of the subjects they addressed early on: money, sex, reproduction, and jobs. What has changed is the way that they talk about these subjects. Specifically, these theorists now posit a more complex and nuanced conception of power. Recent scholarship recognizes the complexities of power in contemporary society, the ways in which these complexities entrench sex inequality, and the role that law can play in reducing inequality and increasing agency. The feminist legal theorists in this volume are emblematic of this effort. They carefully examine the relationship between gender, equality, and power across an array of realms: sex, reproduction, pleasure, work, money. In doing so they identify social, political, economic, developmental, and psychological and somatic forces, operating both internally and externally, that complicate the expression and constraint of power. Finally, they give sophisticated thought to the possibilities for legal interventions in light of these more complex notions of power.

Slope Stability Analysis by the Limit Equilibrium Method Fundamentals and Methods

Slope Stability Analysis by the Limit Equilibrium Method Fundamentals and Methods
P.E. Yang H. Huang, Sc.D., "Slope Stability Analysis by the Limit Equilibrium Method: Fundamentals and Methods"
English | 2014 | pages: 378 | ISBN: 078441288X | PDF | 19,3 mb
Slope Stability Analysis by the Limit Equilibrium Method: Fundamentals and Methods presents basic principles for the safe design of constructed or natural earth slopes. The limit equilibrium method is the most common approach for analyzing slope stability in both two and three dimensions. This method identifies potential failure mechanisms and derives factors of safety for a particular geotechnical situation. It is an appropriate choice for assessing the stability of retaining walls, shallow and deep foundations, earth and rock dams, surface mining sites, and potential landslides.The fundamentals of slope stability encompass slope movements and methods for stability analysis, mechanics of slope failure and factors of safety, laboratory and field methods to determine the shear strength of soils, estimation of phreatic surfaces, and remedial measures for correcting slides. Methods of stability analysis cover simple formulas for determining the factor of safety for plane failures, stability charts, methods of slices for two-dimensional analysis, three-dimensional analysis techniques, and reliability of slope design. An appendix provides a preview of a companion product, LEAME Software and Users Manual: Analyzing Slope Stability by the Limit Equilibrium Method, a computer program for performing the slope stability analysis presented in this work.The clear presentation of the principles of slope stability analysis ensures that this work will be a frequently consulted reference for practicing engineers. The wealth of worked examples and problem sets make this a suitable textbook for senior and graduate students in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.

Simple Habits for Complex Times Powerful Practices for Leaders

Simple Habits for Complex Times Powerful Practices for Leaders
Jennifer Garvey Berger, Keith Johnston, "Simple Habits for Complex Times: Powerful Practices for Leaders"
English | 2015 | pages: 272 | ISBN: 0804788472 | PDF | 1,8 mb
When faced with complex challenges or uncertain outcomes, many leaders believe that if they are smart enough, work hard enough, or turn to the best management tools, they will be able to find the right answer, predict and plan for the future, and break down tasks to produce controllable results. But what are leaders to do when this isn't the case?
