The Tenants' Movement : Resident involvement, community action and the contentious politics of housing
The Tenants' Movement is both a history of tenant organization and mobilization, and a guide to understanding how the struggles of tenant organizers have come to shape housing policy today.Charting the history of tenant mobilization, and the rise of consumer movements in housing, it is one of the first cross-cultural, historical analyses of tenants’ organizations’ roles in housing policy. The Tenants' Movement shows both the past and future of tenant mobilization.The book’s approach applies social movement theory to housing studies, and bridges gaps between research in urban sociology, urban studies, and the built environment, and provides a challenging study of the ability of contemporary social movements, community campaigns and urban struggles to shape the debate around public services and engage with the unfinished project of welfare reform.

Communication as Gesture : Media(tion), Meaning, & Movement
While the concept of communication has long been bound to a reductive model of the exchange of information, very few scholars of communication would argue that these assumptions are realistic, without a long list of qualifying caveats.But the concept of communication, built from the integration of semiotic signification with the idea of information as the 'carrier' of transmitted meaning, is so deeply ingrained and simple that even displacing it can seem futile, if not absurd.Nevertheless, these foundational assumptions tightly constrain the ways in which any interactional phenomena can be conceived--and constraints upon our ways of understanding communication drastically limit our capacity to understand our worlds and the social processes that generate them, at any scale or level of abstraction. Communication as Gesture traces the concept of communication from its roots in classical rhetoric to its integration in structural linguistics, semiotics, information theory, and cybernetics, integrating perspectives from contemporary rhetorical theory, relational psychology, interactional sociology, philosophy, cognitive linguistics, discourse studies, multimodal semiotics, and more. Because so much of our contemporary world is lived with and through digital media technologies, the study of new media and social media provides a rich illustration of the constraints imposed by our reductive assumptions--and hints at the possibilities generated by rethinking them.The gesture theory of communication introduced presents a dimensional account of communication that is intuitively accessible and theoretically rich while overturning reductive assumptions of the linear character of interaction.

What is better: quartz movement or automatic movement?
The choice between quartz and automatic movement ultimately depends on personal preference and lifestyle. Quartz movements are known for their accuracy, low maintenance, and affordability, making them a practical choice for everyday wear. On the other hand, automatic movements are favored for their craftsmanship, intricate mechanics, and the satisfaction of owning a traditional timepiece. Automatic movements also do not require a battery, as they are powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist, which can be appealing to some watch enthusiasts. Ultimately, the decision between quartz and automatic movement comes down to individual priorities and preferences.

'Rest or movement?'
Both rest and movement are important for overall health and well-being. Rest allows the body to recover and recharge, while movement helps to maintain physical fitness and flexibility. Finding a balance between the two is key, as too much rest can lead to stiffness and decreased energy, while too much movement can lead to fatigue and overexertion. It's important to listen to your body and give it the rest and movement it needs to stay healthy and strong.

The Community College Reform Movement : Contentions and Ideological Origins
This book critically examines the rise of the higher education reform movement, often referred to as the “completion agenda,” which since the early 2000s has sought to restructure core aspects of the community college experience.Using community colleges from across 9 US states as practical examples, it explores the major higher education reforms, including dual enrollment, the demise of developmental education, corequisites, and performance-based funding.Against the popular view that support for such policies is tied to neoliberalism, it argues for a more nuanced understanding of the complicated and often indistinct ideological foundation of the reform movement, demonstrating that supporters and detractors alike draw on similar concepts such as equity, student success, and affordability.This complication is further clarified through an account of the history, processes, functions, and institutions that paved the way for the advent of the higher education reform movement. Vital reading for anyone interested in the future of community colleges and higher education more generally, this book will particularly appeal to scholars, researchers, and educators working in higher education, educational reform, and educational policy.

What is the difference between movement description and movement analysis?
Movement description involves providing a detailed account of the physical actions and characteristics of a movement, such as the body parts involved, the sequence of movements, and the timing. On the other hand, movement analysis goes beyond just describing the movement and involves a deeper examination of the underlying principles, mechanics, and factors that influence the movement, such as biomechanics, motor control, and coordination. Movement analysis aims to understand the reasons behind how and why a movement is performed in a certain way, while movement description focuses on providing a clear and accurate account of the movement itself.
