Taylor & Francis Gender Development and Environmental Governance
Book SynopsisA major challenge in studies of environmental governance is dealing with the diversity of the people involved at multiple levels â villagers, development agents, policy-makers, private resource users and others â and taking seriously their aspirations, conflicts and collaborations. This book examines this challenge in two very disparate parts of our world, exploring what gender-equality, resource management and development mean in real terms for its inhabitants as well as for our environmental futures.Based on participatory research and in-depth fieldwork, Arora-Jonsson studies struggles for local forest management, the making of womenâs groups within them and how the womenâs groups became a threat to mainstream institutions. Insights from India, consistently ranked as one of the most gender-biased countries, are compared with similar situations in the ostensibly gender-equal Sweden. Arora-Jonsson also analyzes how dominant ideas about the environment, development and gender Trade Review'Telling, arguing, and analysing throughout this rich and original work, Seema Arora-Jonsson makes a strong theoretical case “for gender as integral to our analyses in order to be able to meet environmental and developmental challenges”'— Lars Rudebeck, Uppsala University, Development in Practice "Gender, Development and Environmental Governance is indeed an enlightening work in more ways than one. Especially admirable is the élan with which Arora-Jonsson pulls off a seemingly unsustainable project—comparing a highly developed and a developing society... Gender, Development and Environmental Governance is a valuable contribution to the corpus of the theoretical literature on gender and environmental studies and a must read for all gender and environment scholars."— Etee Bahadur, Journal of South Asian Development "The most significant contribution on of this book is its unconventional examination of daily life and informal networks, filtered through a gendered analysis... This is a great effort in undoing the sometimes artificial divide between the North and South. Because of its strengths in analyzing gender dynamics and its comparative nature, this book will be extremely interesting to those interested in issues of environmental governance, development, and gender."— Meenakshi Narayan, Michigan State University, Gendered Perspectives on International DevelopmentTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Infrastructure Sustainability and Design
Book SynopsisYou're overseeing a large-scale project, but you're not an engineering or construction specialist, and so you need an overview of the related sustainability concerns and processes. To introduce you to the main issues, experts from the fields of engineering, planning, public health, environmental design, architecture, and landscape architecture review current sustainable large-scale projects, the roles team members hold, and design approaches, including alternative development and financing structures. They also discuss the challenges and opportunities of sustainability within infrastructural systems, such as those for energy, water, and waste, so that you know what's possible. And best of all, they present here for the first time the Zofnass Environmental Evaluation Methodology guidelines, which will help you and your team improve infrastructure design, engineering, and construction. Trade Review"This book is brilliantly conceived and well needed internationally. Up to now the focus has been on individual sustainable building - a book of this scope dealing with the infrastructure on which most of them will depend for the foreseeable future is long overdue."George Baird, professor, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand"This book is a comprehensive guide to the unique challenges associated with planning, design, construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of the complex infrastructure systems that are essential to sustaining civilization. It is a useful reference for industry professionals and government officials, as well as a valuable framework for continued academic research."Thomas Vautin, associate vice president for Facilities and Environmental Services, Harvard University"This book is brilliantly conceived and well needed internationally.

Taylor & Francis Housing Design Quality
Book SynopsisThis book directly addresses the major planning debate of our time - the delivery and quality of new housing development. As pressure for new housing development in England increases, a widespread desire to improve the design of the resulting residential environments becomes evermore apparent with increasing condemnation of the standard products of the volume housebuilders.In recent years central government has come to accept the need to deliver higher quality living environments, and the important role of the planning system in helping to raise design standards. Housing Design Quality focuses on this role and in particular on how the various policy instruments available to public authorities can be used in a positive manner to deliver higher quality residential developments.Table of ContentsPart 1: The Context for Delivering Quality 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Structural Design for Architects
Book SynopsisFirst Published in 2017. An architect is not usually responsible for producing detailed structural calculations and drawings, unless the building concerned is very small and simple. Where the architect can be most effective in the field of structural design is in the clarity of the manner in which suggested solutions, in the form of schematic designs, are put to a structural engineer. It is vital that an architect can propose forms from which the structural engineer need not deviate, to the extent that the original design concept is violated. It is also important that he or she is able to make an informed and rational choice between apparently unrelated structural systems. The theme of this book therefore arises from the necessity for an architect to possess an extensive structural vocabulary, based on a clear understanding of the relevant underlying principles. Although written mainly for practising architects, it is hoped that the book will also provide a fresh perspective on the subTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Physics and Mathematics in Architecture 2 Materials and Form 3 Behaviour of Basic Structural Elements 4 Beam and Truss Systems 5 Portal Frames and Arches 6 Suspension and Cable-Stayed Systems 7 Cantilevered and Continuous Beams 8 Circular and Square Plan Forms
