On thin ice: business ethics and climbing ethics
No full textMick Fowler is an award winning author, lecturer and climber. He was voted the ‘Mountaineers' Mountaineer’ in a poll by The Observer newspaper and in 2012 he was awarded the King Albert Mountain Award for his “outstanding contribution to mountaineering”. Mick will be exploring ethics and ethical choices in the field of climbing and parallels in the workplace. He will be discussing what steers climbers to make the ethical choices that they do, the consequences of those choices and whether or not those consequences were foreseeable or intended

There are also a number of observations concerning her book of short stories 'Whoever you choose to love.
Mick Mannock, fighter pilot: myth, life and politics
No full textMick Mannock, Fighter Pilot rediscovers Britain's most successful fighter pilot of the First World War. It traces the myth of an 'ace with one eye', examining how Mannock has been represented in both biography and in fiction, and asks why he is still commemorated today. The author suggests Mannock's tactics drew on his socialist beliefs, and argues that older, more experienced pilots were comfortable with the new technology and thus best equipped to fight the war in the air
Dialogue : a dialogue between focusing and relational perspectives
No full textThis paper explores the question “What is dialogue?” and its relevance to therapeutic practice through a dialogically-structured conversation between two members of the person-centered community: Akira Ikemi, a leading advocate of focusing; and Mick Cooper, co-author of Working at relational depth in counselling and psychotherapy. The conversation explores the possibility that dialogue may provide a valuable meeting point between the relational and focusing “tribes” of person-centered therapy: a co-explication of felt-senses at both the client’s and therapist’s edges of awareness
The British Press
No full textAbout the book:
"Mick Temple's book makes an important contribution to the debate on the critical historical role and uncertain future of newspapers and the key place of quality journalism within that debate."
Jeremy Dear, General Secretary of the National Union of Journalists, UK
"This book provides a brilliant synthesis of academic and journalistic debate on the past, present and future of the British newspaper. Impressively up-to-date, it is an accessible and well sign-posted introduction to students of the news media and political communication and should become an essential addition to their reading."
Martin Conboy, University of Sheffield, UK
"A thorough and thoughtful investigation into the British press and its contribution to our social and political culture."
Simon Kelner, Editor-in-Chief, The Independent
This exciting book offers a practical introduction to the history, theory, politics and potential future of British newspapers. Focussing on the relationship between the press and political history, it examines their social and political impact, assessing the press's contribution to enlarging and informing the public sphere.
The author provides a theoretical critique of press developments. The first part of the text leads you through key historical moments from the English Civil War to Wapping and beyond, while the second half takes an in-depth look at current empirical and theoretical concerns. Scholarly yet accessible, Mick Temple is not afraid to take a position on today's contentious issues.
The book takes a more positive perspective on the British press than has often been the case, highlighting the online strength of great brand names like the Telegraph, Guardian, Sun and Mail. Temple argues that throughout their history, our newspapers have been vital conduits for public opinion and, on occasion, catalysts for social change.
The British Press is key reading for journalism, media and social science students
The essence of rare beauty:Studying B0(s) → μ+μ− decays with the LHCb experiment
Full text linkThe model developed by particle physicists which describes our Universe up to very high energies and to the smallest scales, called the Standard Model, has performed excellently to explain the results of measurements up to now. The Standard Model is built on symmetries, matter and interactions; a curious property of the matter in the Standard Model is that it appears in three generations. Particles from different generations are almost identical, but differ greatly in their couplings to the Higgs particle, and the structure of the couplings is unexplained; this is called the flavour puzzle. For example, their masses differ greatly: third-generation particles are at least a thousand times heavier than those from the first generation. The third-generation particles called beauty quarks are especially sensitive to possible differences between the generations.Extra sensitive to such effects are decays of beauty quarks that occur seldomly according to the Standard Model, for which even small effects from particles beyond the Standard Model can be significant. A special class of these decays are B decays to two muons (siblings of the electron), which occur at the level of one time every billion B decays; they are extra sensitive to new Higgs particles or dark matter particles. At the Large Hadron Collider, trillions of beauty quarks per year are produced and even such very rare decays can be tested.This dissertation describes the study of B decays to two muons with data collected by the LHCb experiment from 2011 to 2016, resulting in the discovery of the decay of a strange beauty particle or "Bs meson" to two muons and the first measurement of the lifetime of this decay, the strongest limit on the decay of the "Bd meson" to two muons. By itself, the measurement is consistent with the Standard Model. Combined with similar measurements, hints are found of deviations from the Standard Model. Future measurements are needed to shed light on this possibility to solve the flavour puzzle
