NUS Press The Oil Palm Complex: Smallholders, Agribusiness
Book SynopsisThe oil palm industry has transformed rural livelihoods and landscapes across wide swathes of Southeast Asia, generating wealth along with economic, social, and environmental controversy. Who benefits and who loses from oil palm development? Can oil palm development provide a basis for inclusive and sustainable rural development?This book considers the impacts of specific communities and plantations. It analyses the regional political economy of oil palm, examining how the oil palm industry in Malaysia and Indonesia work as a complex, in which land, labour and capital are closely connected. It unpicks the dominant policy narratives, business strategies, models of land acquisition and labour-processes.Understanding this oil palm complex is a prerequisite to developing improved strategies to harness the oil palm boom for a more equitable and sustainable pattern of rural development.Trade Review"...provides scholarship that elucidates the complexities of oil palm production, and the challenges presented by peatland agriculture as well as peatland restoration."-The Jakarta Post

Taylor & Francis An Introduction to the Geography of Health
Book SynopsisIn the second edition of An Introduction to the Geography of Health, Helen Hazen and Peter Anthamatten explore the ways in which geographic ideas and approaches can inform our understanding of health. The bookâs focus on a broad range of physical and social factors that drive health in places and spaces offers students and scholars an important holistic perspective on the study of health in the modern era.In this edition, the authors have restructured the book to emphasize the theoretical significance of ecological and social approaches to health. Spatial methods are now reinforced throughout the book, and other qualitative and quantitative methods are discussed in greater depth. Data and examples are used extensively to illustrate key points and have been updated throughout, including several new extended case studies such as water contamination in Flint, Michigan; microplastics pollution; West Africaâs Ebola crisis; and the Zika epidemic. The book contains more than Trade Review"This marvelous new edition of An Introduction to the Geography of Health is nothing less than a field guide to the world through the lens of health and medical geography. As human geographers, Hazen and Anthamatten grapple with the diversity of global societies, the complex drivers of inequalities in health, and the intricate ecologies of health and disease. The new edition is updated with valuable discussion of climate change and health, the 2014 Ebola fever epidemic in West Africa, the Flint water crisis, and the US opioid epidemic, while also incorporating advances in theory and method in the field of health and medical geography. Drawing on success stories from New Zealand, Costa Rica, and dozens of other countries, the book explains how a geographic sensibility—based on the careful appraisal of, and adaptation to, local social and environmental conditions—can lead to effective and equitable health policy. The inviting and highly readable text is accompanied by over 100 illustrations, including photographs, well-designed maps, and helpful diagrams and charts, many in color. In all, the book makes for an excellent companion to an undergraduate course in health and medical geography, a useful reference source, and an outstanding survey of public health issues all around the world." - Eric Carter, Edens Associate Professor of Geography and Global Health, Macalester College, USA"I am so delighted with the updated edition of Hazen and Anthamatten’s ‘An Introduction to the Geography of Health’, given the addition of new material reflective of both new and emerging events, such as the Zika virus and mental health patterns, respectively. I continue to use this text in my courses for three reasons: the breadth of contemporary applied material representative of the sub-discipline, the international coverage, and the range of current methodological approaches employed. I look forward to hearing positive student feedback on this new edition!" - Allison Williams, Professor & Research Chair, McMaster University, Hamilton, CanadaTable of Contents1 Introduction Section I Ecological Approaches to Human Health Introduction: Ecological Approaches to Human Health 2 Ecological Approaches to Human Health 3 Population-scale Processes: Demographic Change and the Evolution of Pathogens and Vectors 4 Environmental Change and Emerging Infectious Diseases 5 Environmental Exposures 6 Cartography and Geospatial Science in Health Section II Social Approaches to Health and Healthcare Introduction: Social Approaches to Health and Healthcare 7 Socioeconomic Environments 8 Culture and Identity 9 Power and Politics of Health 10 Geographies of Healthcare 11 Integrating Approaches to the Study of the Geography of Health: Policymaking from Geographic Perspectives Glossary Index

Taylor & Francis Geographies of Mobility
Book SynopsisThis book seeks to bring together different philosophical, theoretical, and methodological approaches to the study of human mobility within the discipline of geography. With five thematic sections â conceptualizing and analyzing mobility, inequalities of mobility, politics of mobility, decentering mobility, and qualifying abstraction â and 27 substantive chapters by leading researchers in the field, it provides a comprehensive overview of the latest thinking about human mobility and related issues. The contributors discuss mobility issues as diverse as everyday mobilities of young people, migrants and refugees, and sex workers; the relationships between citizenship and mobility; and the potential and pitfalls of big data for understanding mobility. This, coupled with a broad international focus, means that Geographies of Mobility will not only encourage and enrich dialogue on a theme that is of major importance to varied geographic research communities, but will also be of grTable of ContentsIntroduction: Geographies of Mobility Developing a Framework for the Spaces and Spatialities of Transportation and Mobilities Mobility Among the Spatialities Algorithmic Geographies: Big Data, Algorithmic Uncertainty, and the Production of Geographic Knowledge Mobility Research in the Age of the Smartphone Rosa Parks Redux: Racial Mobility Projects on the Journey to Work Revisiting Gender, Race, and Commuting in New York Mobility, Communication, and Place: Navigating the Landscapes of Suburban U.S. Teens Latin@ Immobilities and Altermobilities Within the U.S. Deportability Regime Connected Mobility in a Disconnected World: Contested Infrastructure in Postdisaster Contexts Contesting Street Spaces in a Socialist City:Itinerant Vending-Scapes and the Everyday Politics of Mobility in Hanoi, Vietnam Mobilizing a Spatial Politics of Street Skating: Thinking About the Geographies of Generosity Locked in Place: Young People’s Immobilities and the Slovenian Erasure Stuart Unintended Return: U.S. Deportations and the Fractious Politics of Mobility for Latinos Circulations and the Entanglements of Citizenship The Geopolitics of Tourism: Mobilities, Territory, and Protest in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong Micropolitics of Mobility: Public Transport Commuting and Everyday Encounters with Forces of Enablement and Constraint 404 Mobility Disadvantage and Livelihood Opportunities of Marginalized Widowed Women in Rural Uganda Livelihoods as Relational Immobilities: Exploring the Everyday Practices of Young Female Sex Workers in Ethiopia Mobilities at Gunpoint: The Geographies of (Im)mobility of Transgender Sex Workers in Colombia Mobilities in Rural Africa: New Connections, New Challenges The Way They Blow the Horn: Caribbean Dollar Cabs and Subaltern Mobilities Fixing Mobility in the Neoliberal City: Cycling Policy and Practice in London as a Mode of Political Economic and Biopolitical Governance Policies on the Move: The Transatlantic Travels of Tax Increment Financing Temporal Trends of Intraurban Commuting in Baton Rouge, 1990–2010 A Location-Centric Network Approach to Analyzing Epidemic Dynamics Another Tale of Two Cities: Understanding Human Activity Space Using Actively Tracked Cellphone Location Data
