Book SynopsisThe ocean has always been the harbinger of strangers to new shores. Migrations by sea have transformed modern conceptions of mobility and belonging, disrupting notions of how to write about movement, memory and displaced histories. Sea Log is a memory theater of repressive hauntings based on urban artifacts across a maritime archive of Dutch and Portuguese colonial pillage.Colonial incursions from the sea, and the postcolonial aftershocks of these violent sea histories, lie largely forgotten for most formerly colonized coastal communities around the world. Offering a feminist log of sea journeys from the Malabar Coast of South India, through the Atlantic to the North Sea, May Joseph writes a navigational history of postcolonial coastal displacements. Excavating Dutch, Portuguese, Arab, Asian and African influences along the Malabar Coast, Joseph unearths the undertow of colonialism's ruins. In Sea Log, the Bosphorus, the Tagus and the Amstel find coherence Trade Review"May Joseph’s itinerary is singular but worldly, tending toward an otherworldliness where plenty bursts through colonial scarcities, where plenum pierces the One in everyone, where pleriplus is the genre of shared refuge in mobility. Her lyric, sharply analytic Sea Log is unprecedented and unanticipated in how it immediately establishes its absolute necessity. How else would we know how to sound the sound of the Indian Ocean as it washes New York shores?"- Fred Moten, Professor in the Department of Performance Studies, Tisch School of the Arts"Historically revealing, and politically attuned to the ongoing moment of decolonization, May Joseph’s Sea Log brings us to the Indian Ocean and its archive of colonial affects, brilliantly meeting the necessity for understanding the geopolitical crises of climate and environment. Taking us across coastal regions between Asia and Africa, Sea Log is an intimate and lyrical encounter with the other-than-human that also critically engages the inhuman. Powerful and poetic, this book is a moving rendition of what is lost and mourned, and what remains and inspires."- Patricia Clough, Professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies at the Graduate Center and Queens College of the City University of New YorkTable of ContentsIntroduction: Writing AnthropocenePreface: Decolonial PeriplusPart I1.

Book SynopsisThis book introduces and critically explores walking as an innovative method for doing social research, showing how its sensate and kinaesthetic attributes facilitate connections with lived experiences, journeys and memories, communities and identities. The book situates walking methods historically, sociologically, and in relation to biographical and arts-based research, as well as new work on mobilities, the digital, spatial, and the sensory.The book is organised into three sections: theorising; experiencing; and imagining walking as a new method for doing biographical research. There is a key focus upon the Walking Interview as a Biographical Method (WIBM) on the move to usefully explore migration, memory, and urban landscapes, as part of participatory, visual, and ethnographic research with marginalised communities and artists and as re-formative and transgressive. The book concludes with autobiographical walks taken by the authors and a discussion about the future of theTrade Review“This superb book explores the intersections between walking and ethnography, narrative and biographic methods, visual and participatory methods. The authors’ enthusiasm is infectious and will surely inspire researchers to get walking!” Jennifer Fleetwood, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, Goldsmiths College, UK“Walking Methods is an important contribution to the field of walking studies through a critical new method – the Walking Interview as a Biographical Method (WIBM). The book is comprehensive in scope, detailing the history and current iterations of ‘methods on the move’ across the arts and social sciences. WIBM is significant because it considers how people’s biographies and life stories are shaped through perambulation that takes place through various durations and movements. Rich in examples, exercises, and (auto)biographical reflections this book makes a unique contribution to walking methods.”Stephanie Springgay, Associate Professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, The University of Toronto, Canada“A learned, revealing and absorbing route one guide to the sociology of walking and using the self as a sociological resource. Essential.”Chris Rojek, Professor of Sociology, City University of London, UK“This book is the first complex composition of theoretical and empirical approaches to the different aspects of ‘research on the move’. Deeply inspiring for sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and researchers of cultural studies. The high quality pedagogue supports qualitative researchers, especially those working and representing biographical studies.” Prof. Kaja Kaźmierska, Director of the Institute of Sociology, and Chair of the ESA Research Network 3 on Biographical Perspectives on European Societies, University of Lodz, PolandTable of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Theorizing/Observing/Thinking 1.

Book SynopsisAcademic work, like many other professional occupations, has increasingly become digitised. This book brings together leading scholars who examine the impacts, possibilities, politics and drawbacks of working in the contemporary university, using digital technologies. Contributors take a critical perspective in identifying the implications of digitisation for the future of higher education, academic publishing protocols and platforms and academic employment conditions, the ways in which academics engage in their everyday work and as public scholars and relationships with students and other academics. The book includes accounts of using digital media and technologies as part of academic practice across teaching, research administration and scholarship endeavours, as well as theoretical perspectives. The contributors span the spectrum of early to established career academics and are based in education, research administration, sociology, digital humanities, media and communicatioTrade Review‘If you care about the future of academic work (… and academic workers) then this is a "must read" collection of chapters. These are some of the biggest names in the digital social sciences, and it is wonderful to see their ideas and arguments extended well beyond the usual 140 characters!’– Neil Selwyn, Professor, Faculty of Education, Monash University‘The growing use of social media in academia, and the increasing importance of maintaining a digital profile and professional online identity, should be recognised, acknowledged and discussed. The Digital Academic brings together leading participants in the online academic environment, and we see through their analyses how multifaceted, complex and beneficial online experiences, reputation and identities are within the modern higher education context.’– Melissa Terras, Professor of Digital Humanities, Department of Information Studies, University College London ‘Lupton, Mewburn and Thomson have brought together an international team of renowned scholars to think critically about the use of digital media in higher education. The many issues raised in The Digital Academic are not only notable and engaging, but necessary for us all to explore as our institutions become more digitised, more networked and more global. A highly recommended read!’– George Veletsianos, Professor and Canada Research Chair of Innovative Learning and Technology, School of Education and Technology, Royal Roads University‘From using Twitter to running MOOCs or writing on open platforms, the modern academic identity is increasingly constructed online. While many books write of the positive or negative possibilities this offers, few offer a balanced, critical perspective of the issues involved. Drawing on a wide range of the leading academics in this field, this book is an invaluable contribution to helping us understand what it means to be an academic in the 21st century.’– Martin Weller, Professor of Educational Technology, Learning and Teaching Innovation, The Open UniversityTable of Contents1.

What can the great crises of the past teach us about contemporary revolutions? Jack Goldstone shows the important role of population changes, youth bulges, urbanization, elite divisions, and fiscal crises in creating major political crises. Goldstone shows how state breakdowns in both western monarchies and Asian empires followed the same patterns, triggered when inflexible political, economic, and social institutions were overwhelmed by cumulative changes in population structure that collided with popular aspirations and state-elite relations. Examining the great revolutions of Europethe English and French Revolutionsand the great rebellions of Asia, which shattered dynasties in Ottoman Turkey, China, and Japan, he shows how long cycles of revolutionary crises and stability similarly shaped politics in Europe and Asia, but led to different outcomes.In this 25th anniversary edition, Goldstone reflects on the history of revolutions in the last twenty-five years, from the Phili

Book SynopsisThis book presents an overview of important currents of thought in social and cultural anthropology, from the 19th century to the present. It introduces readers to the origins, context and continuing relevance of a fascinating and exciting kaleidoscope of ideas that have transformed the humanities and social sciences, and the way we understand ourselves and the societies we live in today. Each chapter provides a thorough yet engaging introduction to a particular theoretical school, style or conceptual issue. Together they build up to a detailed and comprehensive critical introduction to the most salient areas of the field. The introduction reflects on the substantive themes which tie the chapters together and on what the very notions of theory' and theoretical school' bring to our understanding of anthropology as a discipline. The book tracks a core lecture series given at Cambridge University and is essential reading for all undergraduate students undertaking a courseTrade Review"In this highly original contribution, leading anthropological scholars from the University of Cambridge provide a new and compelling approach to the history of anthropological ideas.... With each chapter authored by different anthropologists at the University of Cambridge, one gets a powerful sense of the perspective of that important school and at the same time original individual contributions from well-known anthropologists on key themes or thinkers that have impacted anthropological thought over the years. Insightful, succinct but also consistently challenging, I expect that these essays will inspire students of anthropology for years to come."Adam Reed, University of St Andrews, UK"A useful antidote to the presentism of much current anthropological theorizing, this rich and variegated collection – which takes account of some of the deepest roots and freshest sprigs – especially reflects the influential view of the discipline from the venerable Cambridge tradition, which displays in these pages an impressively global and historically comprehensive reach."Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University, USA"Anthropological theory does not exist per se. It has been conceptualized and formulated on the basis of our own academic work, developing and sometimes changing substantially over the years and decades, influenced by very personal experiences, social settings and political constellations. In fact, theory is as much a product of time and space as it is the achievement of intellectual forebears. Likewise its reception and critique is subject to change and ongoing discussion. The authors of this book, junior and senior, offer broad contexts and detailed knowledge without hiding their personal views and sympathies.

Book SynopsisSigns of Identity presents an interdisciplinary introduction to collective identity, using insights from social psychology, anthropology, sociology and the humanities. It takes the basic concept of semiotics the sign as its central notion, and specifies in detail in what ways identity can be seen as a sign, how it functions as a sign, and how signs of identity are related to those who have that identity. Recognizing that the sense of belonging is both the source of solidarity and discrimination, the book argues for the importance of emotional attachment to collective identity. The argument is supported by a large number of real-life examples of how collective emotions affect group formation, collective action and inter-group relations. By addressing the current issues of authenticity and the Self, multiculturalism, intersectionality and social justice, the book helps to stimulate discussion of the contested topics of identity in contemporary society.Trade ReviewThis is a good book – interesting, readable, well-researched, thorough, and comprehensive. Itattempts to encompass relevant findings from a wide variety of angles and disciplines, and itprogresses systematically and methodically. It presents the bricks and mortar of identity-buildingbefore moving to the most intriguing issues in the contemporary world, those that pertain to thepersistence of national identities (especially in the eastern part of Europe, from where the Estonianauthor hails).Ulf Hedetoft, University of Copenhagen, Journal of multilingual and multicultural development, 2018Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisFirst published in 1997, this volume describes very clearly the various government policies to promote equal opportunity and the context of urban policy in which they have to be implemented. Robert Moore's important study addresses the key issue of equal opportunities through a case study of events when a change in government policy appeared to hold out the prospect of new jobs for a highly deprived inner city area. It is a model for all social research of this kind. The result is a very detailed and objective analysis of the problem of implementing equal opportunity policies in practice.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis title was first published in 2001. There have been significant advances in the engineering design and production standards of the hardware and electronics in commercial aircraft. It is now uncommon for the principal (or sole) cause of an aircraft accident to be a component failure. Human error is now implicated in up to 80 per cent of all civil and military aviation accidents. The human being is now arguably the least reliable component left in the system. This basic premise forms the basis for this international journal. The journal focuses specifically on the human element in the aerospace system and its role in either causing accidents or incidents, or in promoting safety. The journal solicits contributions from both academic researchers and practitioners from industry. Human factors and safety are applied sciences and this is reflected in the tone and composition of the papers in the journal.Table of ContentsPreface; A new international journal in aviation safety; Position Paper: Reviewing the role of cockpit alerting systems; Formal Papers: The disembodiment of data in the analysis of human factors accidents; Applying Reason: the human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS); Quantity and quality of sleep during the record manned space flight of 438 days; Critical Incidents: Precautionary emergency evacuations: is it better to be safe and sorry?

Book SynopsisVideo games are becoming culturally dominant. But what does their popularity say about our contemporary society? This book explores video game culture, but in doing so, utilizes video games as a lens through which to understand contemporary social life.Video games are becoming an increasingly central part of our cultural lives, impacting on various aspects of everyday life such as our consumption, communities, and identity formation. Drawing on new and original empirical data including interviews with gamers, as well as key representatives from the video game industry, media, education, and cultural sector Video Games as Culture not only considers contemporary video game culture, but also explores how video games provide important insights into the modern nature of digital and participatory culture, patterns of consumption and identity formation, late modernity, and contemporary political rationalities.This book will appeal to undergraduate and pTrade Review"There are only few works that aim for a comprehensive mapping of what games as a culture are, and how their complex social and cultural realities should be studied, as a whole. Daniel Muriel and Garry Crawford have done so, analyzing both games, players, associated practices, and the broad range of socio-cultural developments that contribute to the ongoing ludification of society. Ambitious, lucid, and well-informed, this book is an excellent guide to the field, and will no doubt inspire future work."Frans Mäyrä, Professor of Information Studies and Interactive Media, University of Tampere"This book provides an insightful and accessible contribution to our understanding of video games as culture. However, its most impressive achievement is that it cogently shows how the study of video games can be used to explore broader social and cultural processes, including identity, agency, community, and consumption in contemporary digital societies. Muriel and Crawford have written a book that transcends its topic, and deserves to be read widely".Aphra Kerr, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Maynooth University"The monograph’s strongest suit is its ability to draw connections between games and wider society, ethnographic research and (poststructuralist) theory, sociology, and game studies. This is also the point at which the study may not only appeal to undergraduate students and those new to the topic, but also to senior researchers to whom the rise of video game culture will hardly be news."Theresa Krampe, International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (Giessen)Table of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgements1.

This book examines these presentations of self', acknowledging that we are now much more public about what used to be private. With this second edition, Agger adds a new chapter on whether privacy is possible that addresses selfies, job loss due to oversharing, the surveillance state, and examples of when the private should go public.

Book SynopsisWomen''s studies is a rapidly expanding field with a tremendous growth in the number of London courses available. As a result of this there has been increasing debate about the nature of feminist research. Can a specifically feminist methodology be identified? Which research methods are most appropriate in feminist work? What is the difference between a feminist approach and other forms of scholarship.; Researching Women''s Lives explores these issues by focusing on the dynamics of doing research, rather than engaging in a theoretical discussion about research techniques. Feminists are now involved in exploring a whole range of wider issues concerned with practical, political and ethical matters in undertaking research. In addition to issues such as violence, sexuality, political activity and popular culture, contributors also examine the impact of race, class, sexual orientation and age.Table of ContentsMethods, Practice and Epistemology: The Debate about Feminism and Research, Mary Maynard; Researching Women's Lives or Studying Women's Oppression?

Book SynopsisThis book addresses the gendered political authority in Sierra Leone, a relatively unknown topic, and looks at the part it plays in women''s history, political history, political transformation in Africa, and global women''s political leadership.Trade Review'Using interviews, observation, archival sources, and photos, Day carefully constructs an historical study of female chieftaincies in the southern and eastern provinces of Sierra Leone. Strong ethnographic and historical background sets the stage for understanding the resilience of women paramount chiefs in Mende society. Excellent case studies of individual women paramount chiefs appear throughout. Recommended.' - CHOICE 'Professor Day has demonstrated convincingly in this book that far from being political aberrations or colonial creations, female chiefs in Sierra Leone have many historical antecedents and that they emerged from indigenous principles embedded in lineage dynamics, cultural associations, and gendered roles. The lives, challenges, and triumphs of prominent female leaders in colonial and postcolonial Sierra Leone are recounted eloquently and critically but also with empathy and sensitivity to local cultural nuances. The work offers a refreshingly female- and African-centered perspective of understanding power and authority in an African setting. This illuminating and richly textured interdisciplinary analysis of an alternate model of power and authority in West Africa should interest students and scholars of African History, Feminism, and Cultural Anthropology.' Ismail Rashid, associate professor of History, Vassar College 'Lynda Day's engagingly written, provocative work combines sharp analysis of the fluidity of constructed gender with a solidly grounded historical account of the gendered strategies of Mende women chiefs from the pre-colonial period through the civil war and post-war reconstruction. Day reclaims the literature celebrating African queens and transforms it into a subtle analysis of gendered political and social power, revealing the 'traditional' authority of women chiefs not as a fixed form no longer appropriate for contemporary gender politics, but as a mode of political leadership that can be adapted to changing historical circumstances and opportunities, potentially creating new forms of complementary not oppositional gendered political authority.'

Book SynopsisDespite its safety and efficacy, emergency contraception (EC) continues to spark political controversy worldwide. In this edited volume, authors explore how emergency contraception has been received, interpreted, and politicized, through the in-depth examination of the journey of EC in 16 individual countries.Trade Review"This project breaks new ground. Other books have looked at how science impacts gender, sexuality and reproductive issues and how it generally politicizes them. This book sets out purposefully to engage this discussion across all regions of the world. Published materials on these aspects of fertility, sexuality and medical technology are scarce. While isolated articles have been published usually by authors included in this book they are in scientific journals and generally narrowly written. This book opens a treasure trove of comparative data across regions, religions, and economic systems. It will contribute to a growing literature which questions old assumptions: that religion determines use of medical technology; that state control is absolute; that developed countries have more rational approaches to health technology use." Donna Lee Bowen, professor of Political Science, Brigham Young University "This book is the first to place emergency contraception in a comprehensively global context. It skillfully demonstrates how the reception of and messaging around this contraceptive technology is shaped by specific sociopolitical contexts. A must read for those interested in policy on women's health and birth control advocacy." Heather Munro Prescott, author of The Morning After: A History of Emergency Contraception in the United States "This is an important, timely, and accessible book that fills a significant gap in the literature on global reproductive health. In chronicling the journey of emergency contraception, this edited volume provides insights into the ways in which health care technologies can be both politicized and locally appropriated." Tracy A. Weitz, director, Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), Bixby Center, University of California, San Francisco "This book is a fascinating look at how one of the most controversial medical technologies in recent decades was adopted in different countries. It also upsets generalizations about the effects of religious and moral ideas on contraceptive use. In the US opponents to EC conjured up images of sexual predators taking advantage of the pill to commit rape; in Latin America debate centered on the moral status of the just-fertilized egg; in some Muslim countries concerns instead focused on EC's effects on unmarried women while in others it encountered remarkably little opposition. The collection shows not just that social context alters reception of scientific technologies, but also, more provocatively, that local responses to a medical technology shape scientific research. The collection will interest social scientists, activists, health care professionals and others interested in the politics of sexual and reproductive health." - Alexander Edmonds, assistant professor of Anthropology, University of AmsterdamTable of ContentsPART I: SETTING THE CONTEXT The birth of a global reproductive health technology: An introduction to the journey of emergency contraception; L.L.Wynn & A.M.Foster Emergency contraception: Hopes & realities; J.Trussell PART II: COUNTRY CASE STUDIES United States: Activism, sexual archetypes, and the politicization of science; L.L.Wynn Canada: Competing frames of access and authority; J.N.Erdman Jamaica: A success story in moving to nonprescription status; D.Chin-Quee Mexico: Expanding access through partnerships and persistence; R.Schiavon & E.Westley Chile: One step forward, one step back; V.Schiappacasse & S.Díaz Britain: Contradictory messages about sexual responsibility; A.Furedi France: A pioneer in the switch to nonprescription status; C.Moreau & E.Gainer Tunisia: A global leader in reproductive health and rights; A.M.Foster Lebanon: Can introduction be too quiet?; F.El-Kak Morocco: A personal account of the introduction saga; S.Harti Nigeria: Creating demand and increasing availability; D.A.Lang , J.Keesbury & A.S.Karlyn Australia: Organized physician opposition to nonprescription status; H.Calabretto Bangladesh: A model for national family planning program integration; S.M.I.Hossain & M.E.Khan The Thailand-Burma border: Addressing needs in long-term conflict settings; C.Sietstra PART III: CONCLUSION The future of emergency contraception: Where are we now and where are we going?; E.Westley

Book SynopsisIn a powerful new book, Boggs traces the historical evolution of American politics by focusing on the gradual triumph of corporate and military power over democratic institutions and practices. The consequences of expanding United States global presence since World War II - involving an integrated and interwoven system of power based in the permanent war economy, national security-state, and corporate interests - has meant erosion of democratic politics, strengthening of the imperial presidency, increased corporate and military influence over elections and legislation, weakening of popular governance, and diminution of citizenship. The events of 9/11 and their aftermath, including the War on Terror, two lengthy wars and foreign occupations, new threats of war, and massive increases in Pentagon spending, have only deepened the trend toward ever-more concentrated forms of power in a society that ostensibly embraces democratic values. Such developments, Boggs argues, have deep origins in Trade Review"Carl E. Boggs argues that the political system of the United States is no longer democratic in any recognizable sense, and that this represents a profound threat to popular sovereignty, to comity among the world's nations, and to the health and well-being of the American people (not to mention other peoples, animals, and the global ecosystem). Phantom Democracy is an unflinching work, one that marshals an enormous amount of historical and contemporary fact to reveal the true scope of the corruption of the body politic. Nothing could be more timely or politically urgent, at a time of rising influence of the extreme political right in our own nation and many in Europe as well, than the careful, no holds barred critique of the American political order today in this work." - John Sanbonmatsu, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Department of Humanities and Arts, Worcester Polytechnic InstituteTable of ContentsFrom Manifest Destiny to Empire The Imperial Labyrinth The Power Elite Today The Many Faces of Corporate Power Medical Tyranny An American Fascism?

Book SynopsisThis is an in-depth analysis of the various methods used by small states to overcome their vulnerabilities in the international arena. With its balanced approach and variety of contributions, this book is of interest to researchers and academics who focus on the developing world or multilateral diplomacy.Trade Review'There's now a substantial, and ever-growing, literature on small states, and yet most of this takes the form of academic articles and commentaries rather than dedicated stand-alone volumes that interrogate the key issues and themes pertinent to small states. This volume does an absolutely outstanding job in identifying, and exploring, this diversity of issues and themes in an accessible and engaging manner. It sets out brilliantly the core debates surrounding the status of small states in the international political economy - including, crucially, as actors in rather than passive objects of international relations - and, as such, offers a good way in to debates about development more broadly. It's a fabulous book that, crucially, speaks both to academic scholars and students alike.' - Nicola Smith, Senior Lecturer in Political Science, University of Birmingham, UKTable of ContentsForeword Acknowledgements Notes of Contributors Abbreviations The Diplomacies of Small States at the Start of 21st Century: How Vulnerable?

Book SynopsisThis book examines the evolving relationship between the nation-state, citizenship and the education of citizens, exploring the impact European integration had on national policies towards educating its citizens and citizenship.Trade Review“Aril Keating’s Education for Citizenship in Europe is a very well-organised book, concisely written yet with detailed analysis. While on one level a specialist read, it is sufficiently rooted in contemporary debates about citizenship to appeal to a wider audience. The book is primarily focused on European policies to promote citizenship education but as becomes clear these are at times difficult to disentangle from national contexts.” (Chris Gifford, Citizenship Studies, December, 2015)"A close reading of Keating's text provides more detailed discussion than space affords in this review, but for all educators with an interest in CE in Europe, this scholarly work will be an important resource." - Research in International & Comparative EducationTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis manuscript focuses on the development of hybrid city-country (penurban) landscapes around large urban areas which mesh stylized countryside with functional links to the cities. These landscapes are central to American mindsets as they combine the dreams, expectations, and experiences of the nation in expressive cultural landscapes. An interpretive-analytical methodology is used in this single-authored, multidisciplinary work which draws on insights from history, American Studies, social sciences, urban studies, and environmental studies, and cultural studies in order to portray lifestyle and settlement phenomena overlooked by single disciplinary fields. Telling the story of how penurban landscapes emerged, the work blends original research with a re-reading of existing work to understand developing lifestyle and settlement patterns. The book aims at readers in history, urban studies, environmental studies, consumerism and American Studies.Trade Review'The geographically-based case studies incorporated into Being American on the Edge represent the very essence of Goddard's work. His attention to popular culture - film, magazines, and newspapers - is also handled effectively as well as engagingly. Indeed, it lends essential context to his work. A significant book." - Michael H. Ebner, professor emeritus of American History, Lake Forest College, and author of Creating Chicago's North Shore, A Suburban History "Exurbs, edge cities, and now penurbia: we are bombarded with new language to describe new types of settlements. But seldom has a term met a more demanding wordsmith than Joseph Goddard. Drawing great insights from interdisciplinary research, he conveys not only a physical space, but also the lifestyle and culture of two very different American metropolitan regions and their evolution since World War II. Penurbia, he argues, is a national phenomenon. To understand this new type of settlement is to understand the dreams and expectations of Americans in the twenty-first century." - David Goldfield, Robert Lee Bailey Professor of History at University of North Carolina, Charlotte, and editor of the Journal of Urban History Penurbia is an intriguing hybrid landscape with a low density population of urban émigrés that has emerged on the edge of American cities since 1945, as farmland has been converted into a new order of countryside. Characterized by neo-rustic homes and weekend retreats, wineries, stables and hobby farms, penurbia is the newest frontier of American settlement and land use. Goddard's book digs deep and perceptively into the mindset behind this landscape that looks like the country but thinks like the city. Goddard does for penurbia what Adam Rome's The Bulldozer in the Countryside (2001) did for suburbia. A valuable addition to American cultural history, urban history and environmental history. Goddard's absorbing study is the first book length treatment of that newest category of American landscape which has been dubbed penurbia a new frontier of settlement and land use that is just beginning to attract the scholarly attention it deserves. Through telling case studies, Goddard probes deep into the hybrid landscape known as penurbia that has emerged on the edge of American cities since 1945 to unsettle received notions of the urban, rural and suburban and reveal American culture's profound associations with the pastoral, the frontier and the healing power of nature. - Peter Coates, professor of American and Environmental History, University of BristolTable of ContentsIntroducing Penurbia Thinking about City Edges Penurbanites and Exurbanites - Peoples of the Fringe Charting Penurban Growth Politics, Planning, and Administration Penurban Civil Society Images from Popular Culture Magazines and Penurbia Professional Views of Penurban Change
