Taylor & Francis Ltd Unifying Geography Common Heritage Shared Future
Book SynopsisIt can be argued that the differences in content and approach between physical and human geography, and also within its sub-disciplines, are often overemphasised. The result is that geography is often seen as a diverse and dynamic subject, but also as a disorganised and fragmenting one, without a focus.Unifying Geography focuses on the plural and competing versions of unity that characterise the discipline, which give it cohesion and differentiate it from related fields of knowledge. Each of the chapters is co-authored by both a leading physical and a human geographer. Themes identified include those of the traditional core as well as new and developing topics that are based on subject matter, concepts, methodology, theory, techniques and applications.Through its identification of unifying themes, the book will provide students with a meaningful framework through which to understand the nature of the geographical discipline. Unifying Geography will give the diTrade ReviewThe approach is novel... [and] thematic coverage is wide-ranging.' - GeographyTable of ContentsPart 1: General Introduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Urban Regeneration and Renewal
Book SynopsisThe pursuit of regeneration and renewal has played an important role in the history and development of the worldâs cities, and the theoretical and applied issues around these critical concepts are of increasing importance to governments and local populations, as well as to urban professionals and scholars. Particularly in postwar North America and Western Europe, this growing concern has often resulted from the decay and deterioration of cities associated with the decline in traditional industries and the associated loss of employment, and populations, to the suburbs and beyond.This new title in the Routledge series, Critical Concepts in Urban Studies, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the explosion in research output on regeneration and renewal as a significant historical and contemporary urban process of economic, social, cultural, and political importance. Edited by a leading scholar, this Routledge Major Work brings together in four volumes the canonical and the best cutting-edge scholarship on the topic.The collection is divided into three principal parts. Part 1 (âCities in Transitionâ) covers the wider social, economic, political, and urban geographical context for urban regeneration and renewal, and documents the nature of changing cities. These processes and changes are inextricably linked with urban regeneration and renewal initiatives, and an understanding of these transitions is essential to place Parts 2 and 3 in perspective. Part 2 (âResponses to Urban Change from National Governmentsâ) brings together the best overviews and critiques of urban policy initiatives implemented by central governments in developed countries during the postwar period. The materials gathered here span experiences and city examples from advanced economies across the world.The final part (âCity Responses to Urban Changeâ) draws on the approaches taken by cities themselves in response to urban problems, particularly those designed to improve economic competitiveness and to combat social exclusion. Key research on the wide array of thematic approaches that have been followed is assembled in this part. Within the wider urban processes explored in Part 1, this part examines particular policy responses that have arisen in many cities, and considers a number of case-study cities from the UK, North America, continental Europe, and Australasia.With a full index, together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Urban Regeneration and Renewal is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by scholars, students, and researchers as a vital research resource.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Differentiated Countryside Routledge Studies in Human Geography
Book SynopsisIn the wake of BSE, the threat to ban fox hunting and Foot and Mouth disease, the English countryside appears to be in turmoil. Long-standing uses of rural space are in crisis and, unsurprisingly, political processes in rural areas are marked by conflicts between groups, such as farmers, environmentalists, developers and local residents. Using an innovative theoretical approach based on ''networks of conventions'', this book investigates the ''regionalisation'' of the English countryside through a series of case-studies. These studies are based on a set of ''ideal types'': ''the preserved'' countryside, where environmental pressures are strongly expressed; the ''contested'' countryside, where development processes are shaped by disputes between agrarian and environmental interests; and the ''paternalistic'' countryside, where large landowners continue to oversee patterns of land development. It looks in detail at landowners, residents, politicians, planners, farmers, and environmTrade Review'A useful reference book for researchers in related fields.' - GeographyTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Energy and Society
Book SynopsisEnergy and Society is the first major text to provide an extensive critical treatment of energy issues informed by recent research on energy in the social sciences. Written in an engaging and accessible style it draws new thinking on uneven development, consumption, vulnerability and transition together to illustrate the social significance of energy systems in the global North and South. The book features case studies, examples, discussion questions, activities, recommended reading and more, to facilitate its use in teaching. Energy and Society deploys contemporary geographical concepts and approaches but is not narrowly disciplinary. Its critical perspective highlights connections between energy and significant socio-economic and political processes, such as globalisation, urban isation, international development and social justice, and connects important issues that are often treated in isolation, such as resource availability, energy security, energy access and low-carbon transition.Co-authored by leading researchers and based on current research and thinking in the social sciences, Energy and Society presents a distinctive geographical approach to contemporary energy issues. It is an essential resource for upperlevel undergraduates and Masterâs students in geography, environmental studies, urban studies, energy studies and related fields.Trade Review"With an extraordinarily impressive list of prominent authors, Energy and Society offers a critical yet much needed interdisciplinary approach that is richly detailed and meticulously researched. Although intended primarily for students and geographers, its contributions are by no means limited to those spheres. Everyone concerned about topics as diverse as resources, energy landscapes, security, sustainability, poverty, and transitions ought to read this book." - Benjamin K. Sovacool, Professor of Energy Policy, University of Sussex, UK"A timely and much-needed critical examination of energy across the globe. This innovative textbook draws together cutting edge social science approaches to examining the social, cultural, and technical dynamics of energy in a compelling and accessible manner. As such, Energy and Society: A Critical Perspective is must-read for both students and researchers seeking to understand the changing worlds of energy." - Conor Harrison, Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina, USA"Energy and Society provides an insightful and resolutely socio-technical perspective on contemporary energy dilemmas, taking cutting edge research from the social sciences – especially geography, science & technology studies, history and sociology – and making it accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of programs. Deftly moving from the scale of households to cities and transnational infrastructures, the authors place justice at the center of questions about energy, encouraging readers to consider who benefits and who bears the burdens of energy systems – both those that currently shape our everyday lives and those that we debate for the future." - Jessica M. Smith, Associate Professor, Engineering, Design & Society Division, Colorado School of Mines, USA"Energy and Society is a brilliant contribution to scholarship at the intersection of technology and society, demonstrating the importance of a social science analysis of energy, an area historically deemed to be purely technical. The authors skilfully weave together a number of different topics to show how energy is an important matter of global social concern. Energy and Society provides an incredibly useful text for teaching, as well as a call to action for more established energy researchers through its laudable focus on social justice." - Heather Lovell, University of Tasmania, AustraliaTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables List of Definitions Introduction: a critical perspective on energy-society relations PART 1 ENERGY, SPACES AND FLOWS Chapter 1 Resource landscapes Chapter 2 Economic landscapes Chapter 3 Infrastructural landscapes Chapter 4 Geopolitical landscapes PART 2 SECURITIES, VULNERABILITIES AND JUSTICE Chapter 5 Energy poverty and vulnerability Chapter 6 Energy consumption, inefficiency and excess Chapter 7 Energy controversies and conflicts Chapter 8 Energy securities PART 3 TRANSITIONS, GOVERNANCE AND FUTURES Chapter 9 Past transitions Chapter 10 Future transitions Index

As well, he provides a thorough accounting of the timber industry itself, tracing its motivations, practices, and labor relations.Trade Review"This book arrived on my desk two days after the U.S. Senate voted down, yet again, legislation that would have begun the process of finally dealing with climate change, albeit in a tiny, timid way.

Taylor & Francis People and Place The Extraordinary Geographies
Book SynopsisAn innovative introduction to Human Geography, exploring different ways of studying the relationships between people and place, and putting people at the centre of human geography. The book covers behavioural, humanistic and cultural traditions, showing how these can lead to a nuanced understanding of how we relate to our surroundings on a day-to-day basis. The authors also explore how human geography is currently influenced by 'postmodern' ideas stressing difference and diversity. While taking the importance of these different approaches seriously as ways of thinking about the role of place in peoples' everyday lives, the book also tries to encapsulate what has been so vibrant and exciting about human geography over the last couple of decades. By using examples to which students can relate - such as how they imagine and represent their home, the way they avoid certain spaces, how they move through retail spaces, where they choose to go to university, how they use the Internet, how they represent other nations and so on - the authors show how geography shapes everyday life in a manner that is seemingly mundane yet profoundly important.

Taylor & Francis Feminist African Philosophy
The book argues that women's perspectives and gender issues must be mainstreamed across African philosophy in order for the discipline to truly represent the thoughts of Africans across the continent.African philosophy as an academic discipline emerged as a direct challenge to Western and Eurocentric hegemonies. It sought to actualize the project of decolonization and to contribute African perspectives to global discourses. There has, however, been a dominance of male perspectives in this field of human knowledge. This book argues that African philosophy cannot claim to have liberated people of African descent from marginalization until the androcentric nature of African philosophy is addressed. Key concepts such as Ujamaa, Negritude, Ubuntu, Consciencism, and African Socialism are explored as they relate to African women's lives or as models of inclusion or exclusion from politics. In addition to offering a feminist critique of African philosophy, the book also discusses top

Taylor & Francis Geopolitics Military Modernisation and the Future of the IndoPacific
Book SynopsisThis book examines to what extent geopolitics explains the current wave of force modernisation in the Indo-Pacific region. Examining the leading Indo-Pacific nations in terms of defence spending: the United States, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Singapore, Pakistan, Indonesia and Thailand, geopolitical principles are used to create hypotheses that can be tested against the military modernisation programmes of the major actors in the Indo-Pacific region. The book represents a bridge between reference works and the literature on international politics in the Indo-Pacific. The empirical chapters provide qualitative narratives that explore the force postures, military modernisation and procurement patterns of the cases, and assess why these nationsâ military modernisation has followed particular courses and evaluate this evidence against the expectations of geopolitics and its rivals. This book will be a valuable addition to scholars, practitioners and, indeed, anyone interested in the future stability of one of the worldâs most important and dynamic regions.

Taylor & Francis Planning and Urban Design for Attractive Arctic
Book SynopsisThis book takes a deep dive into the design and planning, and unique challenges of settlements in the European Arctic. Attractive Arctic Cities require job opportunities, good societal and commercial services, and importantly, high-quality built environments in order to thrive. The cities of the European Arctic are generally small and sit in sparsely populated regions, with large travel times between places, making them uniquely challenging from a planning and design perspective. The chapters detail the planning process and place-shaping in the Arctic. Emphasis is placed on the importance of urban design, microclimate, cultural heritage, and movement and transport. The objective is to provide an overview for students and practitioners of architecture, urban design and town planning, of the design and planning of Arctic settlements in the European Arctic (Finland, Norway, Sweden) as well as in North America, Canada, Russia, Iceland, Greenland, and China.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Heritage is Movement
Book SynopsisThis book presents new ways of understanding heritage and heritage work. It addresses the ways physical processes of creation, maintenance and decay are entangled with cultural and political processes of management, access and care. The book analyzes a critical practice of heritage work oriented to recognizing and collaborating with diverse knowledge holders and their practices of caring for heritage. This requires rethinking accepted heritage concepts, such as heritage management, artifact, site and the definition of heritage itself. The book presents an engaging and applied approach to this task through examples that include Majapahit statues and temples in Indonesia, skating in London, an online heritage movement, building bivouacs in Australia, First Nations advocacy for Country and batik collections in the Netherlands. Offering a new model for collaborative heritage research and analysis, this book will be of interest to researchers, students and practitioners. DrTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisToday's generations can affect the future ecosystem more than any previous generations and aggravate the welfare of future people. People who have not yet been born are excluded from political decisions important to their lives. Due to the future generations' lack of influence, current generations have a responsibility to act.The current generation''s responsibility for the well-being of future generations has been used as an argument for an increasing number of legislative and policy measures across the world but are rarely followed up in practice.This book examines when commitments to future generations are followed up in practice and in what situations they are not.A concept of solidarity with future generations is developed and applied to four policy areas: the UN 2030 Agenda, national political institutions for future generations, constitutions and climate lawsuits, and regulations of economic debt or savings for future generations.

Taylor & Francis Island Studies 4vol. set
Book SynopsisBig or small, islands and their inhabitant communities have long been the focus of intellectual enquiry, but in recent years a whole host of new academic institutes, journals, and conferences have devoted themselves to their study and research. And while early scholarly work mostly originated from those working in the natural sciences, and in Physical and Human Geography, Anthropology, and Archaeology, in the last twenty years or so serious research has also burgeoned under the rubric of, for example, Cultural Geography, Regional Development, Environmental Studies, Tourism, and Identity Studies.This new four-volume collection from Routledge meets the need for a comprehensive reference work to allow users to make better sense of this voluminous scholarly and practical literature. Indeed, the sheer scaleâand rangeâof the research output makes this title especially welcome.Island Studies is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editors, which places the material in its intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars, advanced students, and policy-makers as a vital one-stop research resource.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sustainable Transport Mobility Management and Travel Plans
Book SynopsisCharting the development of the travel plan as a concept, this book draws on a range of research-based contributions to determine the state-of-the-art and to explore a series of future scenarios in this area for practitioners and policy makers. Site-based mobility management or ''travel plans'' address the transport problem by engaging with those organisations such as employers that are directly responsible for generating the demand for travel, and hence have the potential to have a major impact on transport policy. To do this effectively however, travel plans need to be reoriented to be made more relevant to the needs of these organisations, whilst the policy framework in which they operate needs modifying to better support their diffusion and enhance their effectiveness. Marcus Enoch breaks down the travel plan concept into four axes related to its development (namely segment, scale, structure and support), and investigates the following questions: - What makes them special? - Trade Review'... the book gives a good history and explanation of the development of travel plans both in the UK and abroad and is of use to those new to the topic. It raises a range of potential ways to re-invigorate travel plans...' Journal of Transport Geography 'Marcus Enoch writes in a clear language, using straight lines of argument...

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Good the Bad and the Ugly Routledge Revivals
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1990, this title presents the personal reflections of renowned community architect Rod Hackney, who served for many years as President of both the Royal Institute of British Architects and the International Union of Architects. Educated in the Modernist tradition of architecture in Britain and Denmark, Hackney's return to England in the 1970s changed his outlook completely. Cities like Birmingham and Sheffield had been ruined by ill-conceived planning; whole communities had been torn apart by massive destruction of Victorian terraces, and relocated to grim tower block estates. To those communities that he has rescued from the threat of redevelopment, Rod Hackney is a local hero. Determined to save Britain's inner cities, he has been a major influence on Prince Charles and a powerful spokesman for the silent majority of the urban poor, who often have no say as to where and how they live.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements; List of illustrations; Foreword by the Rt Hon The Lord Scarman OBE 1.
