Content: "The Manual highlights the human rights principles and criteria in relation to drinking water and sanitation. It explains the international legal obligations in terms of operational policies and practice that will support the progressive realisation of universal access. The Manual introduces a human rights perspective that will add value to informed decision making in the daily routine of operators, managers and regulators. It also encourages its readership to engage actively in national dialogues where the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation are translated into national and local policies, laws and regulations. Creating such an enabling environment is, in fact, only the first step in the process towards progressive realisation. Allocation of roles and responsibilities is the next step, in an updated institutional and operational set up that helps apply a human rights lens to the process of reviewing and revising the essential functions of operators, service providers and regulators."

Content: Verlagsinfo: "Deutschlands Geschichte ist stärker zersplittert als die der meisten anderen europäischen Länder. Seine Grenzen waren oft in Bewegung, und die längste Zeit der letzten 500 Jahre bestand es aus einem bunten Mosaik von politischen Gebilden. Doch es gibt auch Erinnerungen, die allen Deutschen gemeinsam sind." Neil MacGregor stellt sie uns vor in einem Buch über Deutschland, wie es noch nie eines gab. Seine augenöffnende Reise durch die deutsche Geschichte beginnt mit dem Brandenburger Tor, und sie endet mit der Reichstagskuppel und Gerhard Richter. Unterwegs begegnen wir einem faszinierenden Ensemble, darunter Gutenbergs Buchdruck, Porzellan aus Dresden, deutsches Bier und deutsche Wurst, Goethe, Schneewittchen und Mutter Courage, die Krone Karls des Grossen, ein Tauchanzug made in Ostdeutschland und das Tor von Buchenwald. Wie es Neil MacGregor gelingt, all diese Objekte zum Sprechen zu bringen und sie von deutscher Geschichte erzählen zu lassen, dabei die Schrecken der NS-Zeit nicht zu relativieren und doch den Reichtum der deutschen Geschichte begeistert und begeisternd vor dem Leser zu entfalten - das ist so intelligent, so bravourös und so unterhaltsam zugleich, dass man es einfach gelesen haben muss

Content: Reich bebilderte, facettenreiche Darstellung der Deutschen Geschichte der letzten 500 Jahre, ausgehend von Objekten, die sichtbare Erinnerungen einer Nation darstellen. (S. Luther-Feddersen)

Content: The central purpose of this collection of essays is to make a creative addition to the debates surrounding the cultural heritage domain. In the 21st century the world faces epochal changes which affect every part of society, including the arenas in which cultural heritage is made, held, collected, curated, exhibited, or simply exists. The book is about these changes; about the decentring of culture and cultural heritage away from institutional structures towards the individual; about the questions which the advent of digital technologies is demanding that we ask and answer in relation to how we understand, collect and make available Europe's cultural heritage. Cultural heritage has enormous potential in terms of its contribution to improving the quality of life for people, understanding the past, assisting territorial cohesion, driving economic growth, opening up employment opportunities and supporting wider developments such as improvements in education and in artistic careers. Given that spectrum of possible benefits to society, the range of studies that follow here are intended to be a resource and stimulus to help inform not just professionals in the sector but all those with an interest in cultural heritage.

Note: Part I: Context of change -- Cultures and technology. An analysis of the changes currently taking place: the digital and the global dimension and local cultures -- Interdisciplinary collaborations in the creation of digital dance and performance: A critical examination -- Sound archives accessibility -- Technology and public access to cultural heritage: the Italian experience on IT for public historical archives -- Intellectual Property Rights and Photography: an Eternal Golden Braid -- Part II: Mediated and unmediated heritage -- A case study of an inclusive museum. The National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari became "liquid" -- The museum as information space -- The Museum of Gamers -- Part III: Co-creation and living heritage for social cohesion -- Change of museums by change of perspective -- Reflecting experiences of museum development in the context of "EuroVision -- Museums Exhibiting Europe" (EU Culture Project) -- Technologies lead to adaptability and lifelong engagement with culture throughout the cloud -- Urban cultural heritage festivals: a resource for promoting community and territorial cohesion -- Tools you can trust? Co-design in community heritage work -- Crowdsourcing Culture: Challenges to Change -- Part IV: Identity -- The Spanish Republican exile: identity, belonging and memory in a digital way -- Chinese is getting back their own culture and tradition in digital era.

Content: The Anthropocene is the human-dominated modern era that has accelerated social, environmental and climate change across the world in the last few decades. This open access book examines the challenges the Anthropocene presents to the sustainable management of deltas, both the many threats as well as the opportunities. In the world's deltas the Anthropocene is manifest in major land use change, the damming of rivers, the engineering of coasts and the growth of some of the world's largest megacities; deltas are home to one in twelve of all people in the world. The book explores bio-physical and social dynamics and makes clear adaptation choices and trade-offs that underpin policy and governance processes, including visionary delta management plans. It details new analysis to illustrate these challenges, based on three significant and contrasting deltas: the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Mahanadi and Volta. This multi-disciplinary, policy-orientated volume is strongly aligned to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals as delta populations often experience extremes of poverty, gender and structural inequality, variable levels of health and well-being, while being vulnerable to extreme and systematic climate change. Robert J Nicholls is Professor of Coastal Engineering within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, UK. He has contributed to a wide range of influential national and international publications including the IPCC Assessment Reports. W Neil Adger is Professor of Human Geography at the University of Exeter, UK. His research examines demographic, political economy, public health and well-being aspects of the Anthropocene. Craig W Hutton is Professor of Sustainability Science within Geography and Environment at the University of Southampton, UK. His research focuses on spatial analysis of vulnerability and the incorporation of sustainable management, policy and governance into decision-making processes. Susan E Hanson is Research Fellow within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, UK. She specializes in coastal vulnerability and management, particularly as a consequence of climate change.

The Mahanadi Delta: A rapidly developing delta in India -- 4. The Volta Delta, Ghana: challenges in an African setting -- 5. Fluvial sediment supply and relative sea-level rise -- 6.

Content: This book answers key questions about environment, people and their shared future in deltas. It develops a systematic and holistic approach for policy-orientated analysis for the future of these regions. It does so by focusing on ecosystem services in the world's largest, most populous and most iconic delta region, that of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh. The book covers the conceptual basis, research approaches and challenges, while also providing a methodology for integration across multiple disciplines, offering a potential prototype for assessments of deltas worldwide. Ecosystem Services for Well-Being in Deltas analyses changing ecosystem services in deltas; the health and well-being of people reliant on them; the continued central role of agriculture and fishing; and the implications of aquaculture in such environments. The analysis is brought together in an integrated and accessible way to examine the future of the Ganges Brahmaputra delta based on a near decade of research by a team of the world's leading scientists on deltas and their human and environmental dimensions. This book is essential reading for students and academics within the fields of Environmental Geography, Sustainable Development and Environmental Policy focused on solving the world's most critical challenges of balancing humans with their environments.
