DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book tells the story of one of the world’s most innovative, beloved, and famous motorcycle manufacturers on its 100th anniversary. In 1921, Giorgio Parodi founded Moto Guzzi with the mechanic Carlo Guzzi. The purpose of the company was to design innovative motorcycles in the Mandello del Lario headquarters on Lake Como, where the factory still stands today. Moto Guzzi bikes immediately stood out for their high performance and technical sophistication. Their greatness was proven by competition wins, and these sporting triumphs were accompanied by commercial success that made Moto Guzzi the most important motorcycle manufacturer in Italy. These victories did not happen by chance, but were the result of continuous innovation. The company soon decided to withdraw from competitions because of its “manifest superiority” and instead focused on production. It has since continued to churn out iconic innovations and models, like the California, which was chosen by the LAPD for their patrols. Moto Guzzi is no longer just a motorcycle but, like Harley-Davidson, it has become a style, a philosophy and a sign of belonging to the Guzzi tribe that unites movie stars like Ewan McGregor with acclaimed designers like Tom Dixon, musicians like Billy Joel, and astronauts such as Paolo Nespoli.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis issue of Social Process in Hawai celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Sociology, now part of the College of Social Sciences, which was founded by Romanzo Adams in 1920. Entitled Celebrating 100 Years of Local Studies, the issue is guest-edited by Lori Pierce of DePaul University and John P. Rosa of the University of Hawai'i. Its sixteen articles are presented in two sections--Part I: Rethinking Hawaiʻi's Past and Part II: New Directions in Contemporary Hawaiʻi. A preface by Patricia Steinhoff provides a brief overview of the department's history and its long-standing commitment to engaging both students and faculty in research on local communities in Hawaiʻi. Pierce's introduction to the volume traces how founder Romanzo Adams built up the department by obtaining a ten-year grant from the Rockefeller Foundation that supported faculty, graduate students, and the development of a social research laboratory. Undergraduate students learned research methods while conducting studies in local communities throughout Hawaiʻi, and their research papers have been preserved in the Romanzo Adams Social Research Laboratory (RASRL) in the University of Hawaiʻi archives at Hamilton Library. In the mid-1930s the department's student Sociology Club began publishing research by both faculty and students in the department's journal, Social Process in Hawai Prominent sociologists have come to Hawaiʻi as visitors since the 1920s and 1930s to study the unique ethnic diversity in the islands and they, too, have contributed to the journal. After a hiatus of a decade in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Social Process in Hawai was revived by Kiyoshi Ikeda, who had been a student editor of the journal in the early 1950s and later returned as a senior faculty member. Since then it has been published with guest editors from the sociology department and other social science departments at the university. This anniversary issue includes a cumulative index of all forty-six issues of the journal, plus a cumulative index of all of the authors, editors, and other participants who have made Social Process in Hawaipossible.
Celebrating 100 Years of Female Fellowship of the Geological Society: Discovering Forgotten Histories

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Geological Society of London was founded in 1807. At the time, membership was restricted to men, many of whom became well-known names in the history of the geological sciences. On the 21 May 1919, the first female Fellows were elected to the Society, 112 years after its formation. This Special Publication celebrates the centenary of that important event. In doing so it presents the often untold stories of pioneering women geoscientists from across the world who navigated male-dominated academia and learned societies, experienced the harsh realities of Siberian field-exploration, or responded to the strategic necessity of the ‘petroleum girls’ in early American oil exploration and production. It uncovers important female role models in the history of science, and investigates why not all of these women received due recognition from their contemporaries and peers. The work has identified a number of common issues that sometimes led to original work and personal achievements being lost or unacknowledged, and as a consequence, to histories being unwritten.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK2020 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the first patient being seen at the world-renowned Tavistock Clinic. Over the following year, the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust marked this centenary with a series of events celebrating its history and exploring issues of identity, relationships and society. This book is a collection of essays from these celebrations, which describe the historical and contemporary work of various departments and services, and consider how to draw on this heritage to provide valuable responses to current and future challenges. The twelve chapters describe the organisation's thinking, educational and clinical work with children, young people and their parents, adults, organisations and wider society, documenting the influence of clinicians such as Balint, Bick, Bowlby, Garland, Glover, Malan and Pailthorpe. The authors outline the development of services for people who have experienced trauma, neurodiversity, complex and enduring mental health problems, and paraphilias or forensic behaviours. They address issues such as gender identity, the impact of couple relationship difficulties on parenting, systemic racism within the psychotherapeutic professions and the societal health inequalities revealed by COVID-19. The book concludes with a chapter exploring leadership and followership in organisations and how this can be applied to work in the NHS. This book was originally published as two special issues of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Texas Folklore Society is one of the oldest and most prestigious organizations in the state. Its secret for longevity lies in those things that make it unique, such as its annual meeting that seems more like a social event or family reunion than a formal academic gathering. This book examines the Society's members and their substantial contributions to the field of folklore over the last century. Some articles focus on the research that was done in the past, while others offer studies that continue today. This book does more than present a history of the Texas Folklore Society: it explains why the TFS has lasted so long, and why it will continue.
