A study on the use of mobile health apps and human creativity. An Anthropological Approach to mHealth underlines ten sixteen-month ethnographies, set across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, that revealed people's use of communicative apps, including as LINE, WeChat, and WhatsApp's alternative primary health apps, highlighting the irrelevance of dedicated health apps. Using a "smart-from-below" approach, this book studies these surprising practices and proposes a radically different anthropological method to the development and dissemination of mobile health (mHealth), a rapidly growing sector in healthcare.

An overdue criticism of large-scale solar energy adoption. Solar energy is the world's largest growing source of power. Recently, this energy transition has produced a series of cognate challenges and conflicts in diverse geographies, yielding effects far beyond electricity generation. Geographies of Solar Energy Transitions illustrates how solar energy governance--both state-based and market-driven--is evolving to address these conflicts. Throughout the book, leading energy scholars examine relevant case studies, drawing necessary attention to the multitude of issues with solar power use, including formulating new place-specific solar energy visions and strategies, financing specific deployment scales, expanding and replacing electricity infrastructure, accessing land, resolving conflicts with competing land uses, incorporating charging technologies for transport and storage, adopting flexible energy production/consumption relationships, displacing fossil fuel energy production with renewables, enabling new energy ownership models, and addressing environmental and social injustices across the value chain of solar expansion.

An interdisciplinary and insightful examination of heritage studies. Methods and Methodologies in Heritage Studies offers succinct and accessible analyses of the current debates, intellectual legacies, and practical innovations on heritage value today. Using archaeology, anthropology, history, and geography, this multidisciplinary textbook is designed to support students, researchers, and practitioners, inviting them to review discussions of key problems and argumentative interventions in heritage studies.

A reframing of collections management in museums worldwide. Collections Management as Critical Museum Practice redefines collections management as a political, critical, and social project, contradicting its misperception as a set of fixed procedures and universal practices. Highlighting national museums and community-led heritage work worldwide, this book explores the complexities of numbering, digitization, and description alongside the realities of climate change, global pandemics, and natural disasters. The contributors draw on their local experiences to emphasize the varying practices, ethics, and workplace pragmatics defining this work.

Fabricate 2024: Creating Resourceful Futures is the fifth volume in the series of Fabricate publications. The first conference - 'Making Digital Architecture' - explored the ways in which technology, design and industry are shaping the world around us. Since then, we have become finely attuned to the negative impacts of this shaping. The 2024 conference, hosted in Copenhagen, sets focus on the pressing need to develop new models for architectural production that rethink how resource is deployed, its intensity, its socio-ecological origins and sensitivity to environment.This book features the work of designers, engineers and makers operating within the built environment. It documents disruptive approaches that reconsider how fabrication can be leveraged to address our collective and entangled challenges of resource scarcity, climate emergency and burgeoning demand. Exploring case studies of completed buildings and works-in-progress, together with interviews with leading thinkers, this edition of Fabricate offers a plurality of tangible models for design and production that set a creative and responsible course towards resourceful futures.

Recommendations for enhancing belonging in STEM higher education. In Belonging and Identity in STEM Higher Education, Camille Kandiko Howson and Martyn Kingsbury examine the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogies in facilitating belonging, variable impacts across student characteristics, and the experiences of STEM students in higher education. Through case study contributions, the book analyzes the unique educational environments for STEM staff and students throughout Europe and Asia, challenging the assumptions that STEM fields are inherently unemotional and impersonal disciplines.
