Coastal Wetlands Restoration : Public Perception and Community Development
This book examines a wide range of innovative approaches for coastal wetlands restoration and explains how we should use both academic research and practitioners’ findings to influence learning, practice, policy and social change.For conservationists, tidal flats and coastal wetlands are regarded as among the most important areas to conserve for the health of the entire oceanic environment.As the number of restoration projects all over the world increases, this book provides a unique assessment of coastal wetland restorations by examining existing community perceptions and by drawing on the knowledge and expertise of both academics and practitioners.Based on a four-year sociological study across three different cultural settings – England, Japan and Malaysia – the book investigates how citizens perceive the existing environment; how they discuss the risks and benefits of restoration projects; how perceptions change over time; and how governmental and non-governmental organisations work with the various community perceptions on the ground.By comparing and contrasting the results from these three countries, the book offers guidance for future conservation and restoration activities, with a specific view to working with local citizens to avoid conflict and obtain long-term investment.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of coastal restoration, wetland conservation and citizen science, as well as environmental sociology and environmental management more broadly.It will also be of use to practitioners and policymakers involved in environmental restoration projects.

The Senses of Modernism : Technology, Perception, and Aesthetics
In The Senses of Modernism, Sara Danius develops a radically new theoretical and historical understanding of high modernism.The author closely analyzes Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, and James Joyce's Ulysses as narratives of the sweeping changes that affected high and low culture in the age of technological reproduction.In her discussion of the years from 1880 to 1930, Danius proposes that the high-modernist aesthetic is inseparable from a technologically mediated crisis of the senses.She reveals the ways in which categories of perceiving and knowing are realigned when technological devices are capable of reproducing sense data.Sparked by innovations such as chronophotography, phonography, radiography, cinematography, and technologies of speed, this sudden shift in perceptual abilities had an effect on all arts of the time.Danius explores how perception, notably sight and hearing, is staged in the three most significant modern novels in German, French, and British literature.The Senses of Modernism connects technological change and formal innovation to transform the study of modernist aesthetics.Danius questions the longstanding acceptance of a binary relationship between high and low culture and describes the complicated relationship between modernism and technology, challenging the conceptual divide between a technological culture and a more properly aesthetic one.

Face Perception
Human faces are unique biological structures that convey a complex variety of important social messages.Even strangers can tell things from our faces – our feelings, our locus of attention, something of what we are saying, our age, sex, and ethnic group, whether they find us attractive or approachable. Face Perception, second edition, has been thoroughly updated throughout, providing an up-to-date, integrative summary by two authors who have helped to develop and shape the field.The book begins with the foundations of face perception before considering what is known about how we see different things in faces.It concludes with a discussion of how face perception relates to wider questions involving interpersonal perception and re-examines the question of what makes faces ‘special’.The importance of integrating different research perspectives and asking critical theoretical questions is emphasised throughout, to develop a distinctive point of view of the area.Written in a clear and accessible style, this is invaluable reading for all students and researchers interested in studying face perception and social cognition.

First Perception
Crack open a can of lager and put on your dancing shoes, because PIGEON TOE's debut album "The First Perception" is a riotous journey through the weird and wonderful world of indie-pop. This band from the north of England has crafted an album that is as deliciously unpredictable as a Friday night out in Sheffield. From the opening track "Marmalade Moon" with its infectious guitar riffs and cheeky lyrics, to the synth-laden bangers like "Neon Nights" and "Disco Ballad", PIGEON TOE never fails to deliver the goods. Singer Jenny Smith's vocals are like a shot of whiskey - smooth, smoky, and guaranteed to give you a buzz. But what really sets this album apart is its willingness to embrace the absurd. Tracks like "Sausage Roll Serenade" and "Dancing with Dodos" are so bonkers, they shouldn't work - but somehow they do. It's like being at a party where everyone is just a little bit too drunk, but having the time of your life anyway. "The First Perception" is a breath of fresh air in a music scene that can sometimes take itself too seriously. PIGEON TOE remind us that music should be fun, experimental, and a little bit mad. So grab your feather boa and get ready to strut your stuff - this album is going to be on repeat all summer long.

Perception
Perception is one of the most pervasive and puzzling problems in philosophy, generating a great deal of attention and controversy in philosophy of mind, psychology and metaphysics.If perceptual illusion and hallucination are possible, how can perception be what it intuitively seems to be, a direct and immediate access to reality?How can perception be both internally dependent and externally directed?Perception is an outstanding introduction to this fundamental topic, covering both the perennial and recent work on the problem.Adam Pautz examines four of the most important theories of perception: the sense datum view; the internal physical state view; the representational view; and naïve realism, assessing each in turn.He also discusses the relationship between perception and the physical world and the issue of whether reality is as it appears. Useful examples are included throughout the book to illustrate the puzzles of perception, including hallucinations, illusions, the laws of appearance, blindsight, and neuroscientific explanations of our experience of pain, smell and color.The book covers both traditional philosophical arguments and more recent empirical arguments deriving from research in psychophysics and neuroscience.The addition of chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading and a glossary of terms make Perception essential reading for anyone studying the topic in detail, as well as for students of philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology and metaphysics.
