Chapter 5 also shows that behavioural risk factors, such as smoking and a diet low in fruit and vegetables, are higher in more deprived areas. The drivers of these health and behavioural inequalities are reviewed in this chapter. a b c d e Samuel R. Delany (writing as K.

The IMD is a measure of relative deprivation for small areas. Deciles are calculated by ranking local authorities’ IMD scores from most deprived to least deprived and dividing into 10 equal groups. These deciles range from most deprived 10% to the least deprived 10% of areas nationally. ↩ Delany has stated that "Kid's sanity remains in question ... for the same reason the disaster of the city is unexplained: such explanations would become a fixed signified straiting the play and interplay of the signifier - the city of signs - that flexes and reflexes above it." [1] Synopsis [ edit ] Most books written in 1973 have been overtaken by technology, but Dhalgren holds up really well on that. Clearly cell phones wouldn’t work in Bellona, and the internet wouldn’t any more than TV or radio. Computers aren’t mentioned because there isn’t any electricity. The near-future oooh tech of the chain of prism, mirror and lens, and the portable hologram projectors that work the Scorpion images and Lanya’s party dress, remain pleasantly near future oooh tech.

Higher concentrations were found close to specific sources of emissions (such as major ports) and more generally in larger urban areas with multiple sources. They are also strongly influenced by weather patterns. Long-range transport from Europe contributes to high concentrations across the mid- and south east of England.

The city of Bellona is severely damaged; radio, television, and telephone signals do not reach it. People enter and leave by crossing a bridge on foot. I went to New York this weekend, down on Friday, home on Sunday, to see the play Bellona, Destroyer of Cities, an adaptation of Samuel Delany’s Dhalgren (1975). I am planning to review the play, but first I want to talk about the book, which I re-read on the train on Friday.
