Taylor & Francis Inc Classics from IJGIS Twenty years of the
Book SynopsisThe past 20 years can be regarded as the adolescence of geographic information science (GIS), as it grew from a burgeoning area of study into a mature and thriving field. During those two decades, the International Journal of Geographic Information Science (formerly Systems) (IJGIS) was one of the most prominent academic guiding forces in GIScience, and looks to remain so for the foreseeable future. To celebrate this important milestone, Peter Fisher-the second editor of IJGIS-has compiled 19 of the most significant and influential articles ever published in the journal.Classics from IJGIS: Twenty Years of the International Journal of Geographical Information Science and Systems contains articles that shaped the way we approach the science of GIS, provided seeds from which grew key developments that have molded the field, opened new avenues of discovery across the landscape of modern GIScience, and some that may mark how it will change in the future.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Food and Urbanism The Convivial City and a Sustainable Future
Book SynopsisSusan Parham is Head of Urbanism at the Centre for Sustainable Communities, University of Hertfordshire, UK.Trade Review[Food and Urbanism] is a book that will find a role as an essential reference for anyone with any interest in food and a positive gold mine for any postgraduate student starting on their research into any aspects of food or urban-food relationships. * H-Net *The book follows a logical progression from table and garden to the city edges and the larger region, each chapter providing a comprehensive review of the relevant literature from a diversity of disciplines. -- Barbara Santich, University of Adelaide * Petits Propos Culinaires *With vivid examples and sparkling clarity, Parham illustrates how food has served as the bridge between private homes and public markets, neighborhoods and regions, and physical spaces and culturally distinct places. A timely and important contribution for anyone interested in how these linkages offer clues for building a more sustainable future. -- Andrew Deener, University of Connecticut, USAParham‘s Food and Urbanism is a thrilling read from start to finish, providing a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between food and the city: from urban agriculture to food branding and beyond. The impressive array of topics covered, combined with the interdisciplinary nature of the text, results in a piece which will be of interest to sociologists, geographers, planners, urban designers and other actors interested in this area of research. -- Michael Hardman, University of Salford, UKThrough Parham’s powerful prose, gastronomy is revealed as a key ingredient of social justice, cultural understanding and genuinely sustainable forms of urban existence. Crucial reading for anyone studying, critiquing, designing and planning cities, this book brings critical food studies into a direct conversation with 21st-century urbanism. -- Alex Rhys-Taylor, Goldsmiths, University of London, UKTable of ContentsDedication Preface Acknowledgements List of Illustrations Introduction: Food and Urbanism: the Convivial City and Sustainable Future Part One: Food, Domesticity and Design The Paradoxical Kitchen and the Death of Dining The Garden and Gastronomy Part Two: Gastronomy and Public Space Food’s Outdoor Room The Gastronomic Townscape Ambivalent Suburbia Convivial Green Space Part Three: Food Space on the Edge The Productive Periphery The Megalopolitan Food Realm Designing the Critical Food Region Food and Urbanism in a Global Context Conclusion: Food and Urbanism – Making a Resilient City Bibliography Index
