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

Springer New York An Indispensable Truth How Fusion Power Can Save the Planet
Book SynopsisThis energy source is inexhaustible and, although achieving fusion energy is difficult, the progress made in the past two decades has been remarkable.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The ‘indispensable truth’ is that Chen … has written what may well be recognized as the definitive retrospective on the promise of endless supplies of cheap, clean nuclear energy from fusion, offering the prospect of realizing the promise at last. … It is stylishly written, designed, and illustrated to appeal to general readers … . Chen is in his comfort zone as he tells his story, and the indispensable truth is that it is just that–indispensable! Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries.” (L. W. Fine, Choice, Vol. 49 (3), November 2011)"With An Indispensable Truth: How Fusion Power Can Save the Planet, Frank Chen has provided a sweeping perspective on fusion energy. He covers everything from climage change to plasma instabilities. On climate change and energy, the view is best from 30 000 feet: The book provides a good high-level overview of the issues at stake...On fusion plasma physics, Chen's area of expertise, An Indispensable Truth provides an intuitive, up-close explanation of exciting recent advances and future challenges...An Indispensable Truth provides an exciting whirlwind tour of energy issues and technologies, with particular insight into fusion. Chen is correct to emphasize the tremendous progress that has been made in fusion research. ITER will produce hundreds of millions of watts of thermal energy from fusion, for periods of up to an hours. However, it remains for the world, and in particular the US, to decide if we will develop fusion into a practical energy source. We will need it."
