Media and Water : Communication, Culture and Perception
As flooding, drought and water scarcity become more pronounced due to climate change, so the way in which these events are presented in the media assumes greater significance.In particular, the media plays an important role in shaping the public perception and understanding of water issues, and debates around extreme weather events more generally. Joanne Garde-Hansen’s book offers a sustained and comprehensive exploration of media representations of water.Drawing on a wide range of media – including newspapers, digital, photography, radio, television and video, as well as empirical research on media and memory – she examines how drought, flooding and water management have been portrayed in the media, both historically and in the contemporary world.The use of the media by water institutions to manage public perceptions and the use of digital media by the public to engage with water companies is also included. A particular feature of the book is an examination of water and gender in developed nations.One of the first books to look at media representations of water, this pioneering work provides valuable insights for both scholarly and professional water research.

Coastal Wetlands Restoration : Public Perception and Community Development
This book examines a wide range of innovative approaches for coastal wetlands restoration and explains how we should use both academic research and practitioners’ findings to influence learning, practice, policy and social change.For conservationists, tidal flats and coastal wetlands are regarded as among the most important areas to conserve for the health of the entire oceanic environment.As the number of restoration projects all over the world increases, this book provides a unique assessment of coastal wetland restorations by examining existing community perceptions and by drawing on the knowledge and expertise of both academics and practitioners.Based on a four-year sociological study across three different cultural settings – England, Japan and Malaysia – the book investigates how citizens perceive the existing environment; how they discuss the risks and benefits of restoration projects; how perceptions change over time; and how governmental and non-governmental organisations work with the various community perceptions on the ground.By comparing and contrasting the results from these three countries, the book offers guidance for future conservation and restoration activities, with a specific view to working with local citizens to avoid conflict and obtain long-term investment.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of coastal restoration, wetland conservation and citizen science, as well as environmental sociology and environmental management more broadly.It will also be of use to practitioners and policymakers involved in environmental restoration projects.

Perception
Perception is one of the most pervasive and puzzling problems in philosophy, generating a great deal of attention and controversy in philosophy of mind, psychology and metaphysics.If perceptual illusion and hallucination are possible, how can perception be what it intuitively seems to be, a direct and immediate access to reality?How can perception be both internally dependent and externally directed?Perception is an outstanding introduction to this fundamental topic, covering both the perennial and recent work on the problem.Adam Pautz examines four of the most important theories of perception: the sense datum view; the internal physical state view; the representational view; and naïve realism, assessing each in turn.He also discusses the relationship between perception and the physical world and the issue of whether reality is as it appears. Useful examples are included throughout the book to illustrate the puzzles of perception, including hallucinations, illusions, the laws of appearance, blindsight, and neuroscientific explanations of our experience of pain, smell and color.The book covers both traditional philosophical arguments and more recent empirical arguments deriving from research in psychophysics and neuroscience.The addition of chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading and a glossary of terms make Perception essential reading for anyone studying the topic in detail, as well as for students of philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology and metaphysics.

What are the social factors of perception?
Social factors of perception refer to how our interactions with others, cultural background, social norms, and societal influences shape the way we perceive the world. These factors can include our upbringing, education, peer groups, media exposure, and societal expectations. They influence our beliefs, values, attitudes, and biases, which in turn affect how we interpret and make sense of the information we receive. Social factors of perception play a significant role in shaping our worldview and can lead to differences in how individuals perceive the same situation.

What is the hypothesis theory of social perception?
The hypothesis theory of social perception suggests that when we encounter a new person or situation, we form initial hypotheses or assumptions about them based on limited information. These hypotheses guide our perception and interpretation of the person or situation, influencing our subsequent behavior and interactions. This theory emphasizes the role of cognitive processes in shaping our social perceptions and highlights the importance of considering the impact of these initial hypotheses on our understanding of others.

What is the difference between social communication and social interaction?
Social communication refers to the exchange of information through verbal and nonverbal means, such as speaking, gestures, and facial expressions, to convey thoughts, feelings, and ideas. On the other hand, social interaction involves the broader concept of engaging with others in a social setting, including activities such as playing, sharing, and collaborating. While social communication focuses on the exchange of messages, social interaction encompasses the overall dynamic of how individuals engage with one another in social contexts.

How do self-perception and perception of others differ?
Self-perception refers to how an individual sees and evaluates themselves, including their abilities, traits, and behaviors. It is influenced by personal experiences, beliefs, and self-awareness. On the other hand, perception of others involves how individuals view and interpret the characteristics, behaviors, and intentions of other people. This perception is influenced by social and cultural factors, as well as personal biases and stereotypes. While self-perception is based on introspection and self-reflection, perception of others is often based on external observations and interactions.

Human faces are unique biological structures that convey a complex variety of important social messages.Even strangers can tell things from our faces – our feelings, our locus of attention, something of what we are saying, our age, sex, and ethnic group, whether they find us attractive or approachable.
