Everyday Life Ecologies : Sustainability, Crisis, Resistance
Everyday Life Ecologies: Sustainability, Crisis, and Resistance is about those complex, sticky, but also open arrangements of bodies, objects, and plants that make up daily existence.The multiple and interlocking lines of a long capitalist crisis disrupt their normal flow: sometimes, they open opportunities for transformation, sometimes else, they foreclose horizons of change.In contrast with approaches that respond to environmental crisis by advocating “sustainable lifestyles” and “responsible behaviors,” Alice Dal Gobbo suggests that it is necessary to address the complex socio-material relationalities that constitute everyday ecologies.Beyond that, the book argues for their politicization, illuminating daily existence as embedded in capitalist relations of re/production.Combining political ecology and new materialist sensitivities, this book investigates the ways in which ecologically damaging logics are inscribed in everyday assemblages through their habitual rehearsal and libidinal hold.But it also points to how apparently banal acts of resistance embody and promote different logics, such as a logic of care and an ecological “aesth-ethics” of desire.Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the Northeast of Italy, this journey through the concrete matters and beings of daily life in crisis talks beyond this emplaced reality and dialogues with emerging forms of contestation and prefiguration that put socio-ecological reproduction at their center.

What is the difference between resistance and specific resistance?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself. Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is a characteristic of the material's composition and is used to calculate the resistance of a specific shape and size of material.

What are the tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes?
The tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes typically vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. However, in general, resistance chains and cubes are designed to have tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent resistance levels for users. It is common for resistance chains and cubes to have tolerances within a few percentage points to maintain their effectiveness and reliability during workouts. It is recommended to refer to the product specifications provided by the manufacturer for more detailed information on the tolerances of specific resistance chains and cubes.

How do I calculate the resistance with the internal resistance?
To calculate the total resistance with the internal resistance, you can use the formula: R_total = R_internal + R_external, where R_total is the total resistance, R_internal is the internal resistance, and R_external is the external resistance. This formula takes into account the resistance from both the internal and external components of the circuit. By adding the internal and external resistances together, you can determine the total resistance in the circuit.

What is the difference between insulation resistance and surface resistance?
Insulation resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current through the insulation material between two conductors, while surface resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current across the surface of a material. Insulation resistance is typically used to assess the effectiveness of insulation materials in preventing current leakage, while surface resistance is used to evaluate the cleanliness and conductivity of surfaces in electronic and electrical applications. In summary, insulation resistance measures the resistance through a material, while surface resistance measures the resistance across a material's surface.

The Dutch Resistance 1940–45 : World War II Resistance and Collaboration in the Netherlands
Describes and illustrates the full range of Dutch resistance groups and German and collaborationist counter-resistance groups during the Nazi occupation in 1940-45. The Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in World War II followed a complex course, whose scope is not widely understood.It was a great deal broader and more varied than the much-reported German counter-espionage success against Dutch agents parachuted in by the Special Operations Executive.From spring 1943 onwards, three Dutch Resistance organizations gained momentum: the Order Service (OD), the Resistance Council (RVV), and the National Assault Teams (LKP).In response, the Germans raised collaborationist forces to counter the Resistance, including the much-feared Landwacht.In September 1944 the OD, RVV and LKP amalgamated into the Netherlands Interior Forces (NBS), while Allied troops began to liberate the southern provinces.This allowed NBS forces in the south to form Stoottroepen, uniformed and armed by both the British and US armies.These assisted the Allied advance, while a bloody underground struggle continued in the occupied north until final liberation in April–May 1945.Illustrated with rare photos and new colour plates, this book gives a comprehensive account of one of the lesser-known struggles of World War II.

Creativity and Resistance in a Hostile World
What can culture, and its manifestations in artistic and creative forms, ‘do’?Creativity and resistance in a hostile world draws on original collaborative research that brings together a range of stories and perspectives on the role of creativity and resistance in a hostile world.In times of racial nationalism across the world, this volume seeks to understand how creative acts have agitated for social change.The book suggests that creative actions themselves, and acting together creatively, can at the same time offer vital sources of hope. Drawing on a series of case studies, this volume focuses on the past and emergent grassroots arts work that has responded to racisms, the legacies of colonialism or the depredations of capitalist employment across several contexts and locations, including England, Northern Ireland and India.The book makes a timely intervention, foregrounding the value of creativity for those who are commonly marginalised from centres of power, including from the mainstream cultural industries.The authors also critically reflect on the possibilities and limitations of collaborative research within and beyond the academy. -- .

Victoire : A Wartime Story of Resistance, Collaboration and Betrayal
'The wartime spy career of Mathilde Carre - aka "the Cat" and "Agent Victoire" - is so extraordinary it almost defies belief' The Times'A truly astonishing story, meticulously and brilliantly told' Philippe Sands, author of The RatlineRESISTANCE, COLLABORATION AND BETRAYALOccupied Paris, 1940. A woman in a red hat and a black fur coat hurries down a side-street.She is Mathilde Carre, codenamed 'the Cat', later known as Agent Victoire.She is charismatic, daring, and a spy; her story is one of heroism and survival against the odds.These are the darkest days for France, half-occupied by Nazi Germany, half-governed by the collaborationist Vichy regime; and dark days for Britain, isolated and under threat of invasion.Yet Mathilde is driven by a sense of destiny that she will be her nation's saviour.With little training or support, Mathilde and her Polish collaborator, Roman Czerniawski, create a huge web of agents in a matter of weeks to form the first great Allied intelligence network of the Second World War.They risk torture and execution to deliver their coded reports, London's sole source of reliable information about the Occupation.But the 'Big Network' is threatened at every turn and when the Germans inevitably close in Mathilde makes a desperate compromise.She enters a hall of mirrors in which any bond is doubtful and every action could be fatal.Nobody is certain where her allegiances lie - her German handler, the founder of the Resistance she ensnares and the British who eventually succeed in extracting her on a fast boat all have to make their own calculations.Is she a double, possibly even a triple agent, and, if so, can she be trusted to turn yet again?Victoire is the story of a passionate, courageous spy but also of a fragile hero, desperate to belong - a portrait of patriotism and survival in momentous times. Drawing on a wide range of new and first-hand material, Roland Philipps has written a dazzling tale of audacity, complicity and the choices made in wartime.

Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

What is the difference between electrical resistance and specific resistance?
Electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself and is dependent on factors such as the material's dimensions and temperature. Specific resistance, on the other hand, is a material property that quantifies how much a material resists the flow of electric current compared to a standard material. It is also known as resistivity and is measured in ohm-meters. In essence, electrical resistance is the overall resistance of a material, while specific resistance is a more intrinsic property of the material itself.

Is the protective resistance the same as the series resistance?
No, the protective resistance is not the same as the series resistance. The protective resistance is a component used to limit the current in a circuit and protect other components from damage. It is typically used in parallel with the component it is protecting. On the other hand, the series resistance is a component that is connected in series with other components in a circuit, affecting the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit. While both resistances are used to control current, they serve different purposes and are connected in different ways within a circuit.

What does animal husbandry have to do with the development of bacterial resistance?
Animal husbandry plays a significant role in the development of bacterial resistance due to the widespread use of antibiotics in livestock. Antibiotics are often used in animal husbandry to promote growth and prevent disease in crowded and unsanitary conditions. However, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in animals can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can then be transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated meat or through direct contact with animals. This can contribute to the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections in humans, posing a serious public health threat. Therefore, responsible and judicious use of antibiotics in animal husbandry is crucial in preventing the development and spread of bacterial resistance.

What is the difference between specific resistance and direct current resistance?
Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that measures the resistance of a specific material to the flow of electric current. It is expressed in ohm-meter and is a characteristic of the material itself. On the other hand, direct current resistance refers to the resistance of a specific component or device to the flow of direct current. It is measured in ohms and depends on the physical dimensions and material properties of the component. In summary, specific resistance is a material property, while direct current resistance is a property of a specific component or device.
