This open book presents the latest advances in models and data for evaluating the efficacy of vocational rehabilitation (VR) services provided…
to individuals with disabilities. For the first time, the VR-ROI (return on investment) model is used to simultaneously compare short- and long-term labor market outcomes across multiple state agencies and four distinct disability groups. For each disability group, the book provides information about the return on investment, as measured by the rate of return, for VR services. By offering this broad and in-depth evaluation in concert with intuitive explanations of the model and the estimation methodology, the book helps to bridge the gap between research and practice and to equip stakeholders with data-driven insights to enhance vocational rehabilitation programs for individuals with disabilities. This is an open access book.

Global Wild Edibles of Deserts: Food Security and Sustainability provides coverage of topics in food and health in desert rangelands,…
using an interdisciplinary approach that considers health not only in a functional and human sense, but also in terms of external factors including aridity.The plant diversity in desert ecosystems provide economic service benefits, such as sources of fodder, fuel wood, and traditional medicinal plants. This book documents wild edibles commonly grown in deserts that are hugely beneficial for the herbal industry for the socio-economic uplift of local communities. This book contains multiple field pictorial graphs of desert wild edible plants to help with their identification, and it gives detailed information on food security issues and sustainability measures in the world desert zones. It also focusses on the diversity of wild edibles in deserts across the globe, their nutraceutical importance, production-consumption trends, integration into food menus, and marketing and livelihood opportunities to the indigenous people.A volume in the Exploring Medicinal Plants series, this book creates opportunity for policymakers to develop plans for the successful entry of wild edibles into herbal industries, and attracts farmers owning infertile lands to cultivate wild edibles in desert rangeland. The book is a valuable resource for researchers, conservationists, and policymakers seeking solutions at the intersection of food security and environmental sustainability.

Stories of Human Resilience in a Changing Climate offers a captivating glimpse into the human face of climate change.Despite extreme…
climate-related events witnessed globally, many struggle to connect such global phenomena to their own lives in a tangible way. As a result, there is still a strong disconnect between the general awareness of climate change and the sense of urgency that inspires action. This book fills a critical void in the field by sharing 11 real-life experiences across five continents of the world, featuring ordinary people facing and adapting to the consequences of climate change in its different forms. Through gripping accounts of a nomad having to relocate from the desert to the nearest city, an indigenous person fighting back for land rights, and a winemaker finding creative solutions to increasing heatwaves, among other stories, the book humanises the challenges of climate change. By weaving scientific data with personal stories, the chapters deliver a compelling call to move beyond mere acknowledgment of the problem towards transformative action that respects the balance of ecosystems, fosters sustainable practices, and redefines our relationship with nature. Overall, the book highlights the urgent need for global awareness on what ultimately represents one of the most pressing challenges of our time, leaving readers inspired and empowered to create a more sustainable and resilient future.This accessible and impactful book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change and environmental sciences and communication, as well as community leaders and NGOs wanting to understand practical examples and insights of climate change phenomena. Views and opinions expressed are those of the authors only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Commission.

Museums and Design Practices explores the increasingly critical role that design is playing in museums by focusing on how human-centred…
design approaches are being embraced and incorporated into their work practices.This book advances “design-as-practice” as a way to acknowledge the technosocial dimension of the working culture of cultural organisations. It reveals how designing is a situated phenomenon that enables museums and galleries to respond in a digitally mature way to emerging contexts and challenges of digital transformation. The original thesis forwarded by the authors is reinforced by reflections shared by leading museum practitioners and designers on the complex and multifaceted nature of human-centred practices found in museums and the various ways they function within their organisational working cultures. The infusion of design into all levels of museum practice demonstrates the capacity to transform how museums approach visitor experience, inclusive collaboration, and knowledge sharing in order to build resilience in the face of change and respond to the ‘wicked problems’ confronting cultural organisations today.Museums and Design Practices is for students and researchers as well as museum practitioners – especially those keen to understand emerging relationships that are forming between digital technology, design and the cultural work of museums. It will also be of interest to researchers and students working in the fields of design, digital culture, and museum studies.

This book analyses the transformation in 16th- and 17th- century English economic life that overturned the traditional restraints of the…
medieval economy for the commercial ethos that governs the modern world, and the resulting imbalance which opened the way to the environmental breakdown of today.On the open fields and commons, the smallholders had worked closely with the land as given, with minimal intervention in natural processes. The 16th century introduced a fundamental difference of approach as the inducement of exceptional profits encouraged manipulative exploitation of the land. “Freedom of trade” from arbitrary restraints and impositions became the new economic ethos, officially established by the mid-17th-century revolution and reinforced by other changes such as the emergence of the nationstate. The “rise of science” was associated with the agriculturalist adoption of empirical method for “improvement”, and a new philosophy accorded humankind the right to degrade other species for its own ends. By focusing on the causes and effects of capitalism at its first appearance, this volume traces the environmental crisis back to the switch from an essentially universalist to a basically individualist world.This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Early Modern England, Economic Studies, and Environmental Studies.

In recent years, Korean culture has been incredibly successful internationally, from the films of auteur directors like Bong Joon-ho (Parasite)…
to shows like Squid Game and K-pop music. At the same time, media from the UK has also been successful in South Korea, with popular shows such as Killing Eve and Life on Mars. Written by scholars working across translation, film and media studies, this volume examines the ways in which Korean media has been received and translated in the UK, as well as how British media has fared in South Korea. Case studies explore how Korean media is (re)packaged and categorised for a Western audience and how paratextual material (trailers, adverts, fan reactions) mediates films and shows for international audiences. The book also examines how the Korean remake of Life on Mars localises the British show, how Squid Game has been audio-described and how slower media models can suggest more sustainable forms of consumption and distribution. Demonstrating how interdisciplinary research can shed light on different aspects of global media culture, this volume will be essential reading for scholars and students working on the translation and international media circulation. It will especially appeal to readers interested in the interactions between British and Korean media.This work was supported by the Fund for International Collaboration and the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number ES/W01081X/1].
