ISBN: 9780415720304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

As Borders Bend: Transnational Spaces on the Pacific Rim
ISBN: 9780742500945 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As do other mighty forces such as wars, nationalist aspirations, and the shifting courses of great rivers, globalization changes the world's borders by bending them out of shape and creating new transnational spaces. State political boundaries no longer draw the definitive line in people's lives they once did. Borders continue to contain self-described national populations and national activities, but the penetration of economic globalization via growing cross-border trade, investment, and resurgence of myriad regional ethnic groups is pushing and stretching the limits of borders into both...

Confronting Urban Legacy: Rediscovering Hartford and New England's Forgotten Cities
ISBN: 9780739149430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Confronting Urban Legacy fills a critical lacuna in urban scholarship. As almost all of the literature focuses on global cities and megacities, smaller, secondary cities, which actually hold the majority of the world's population, are either critically misunderstood or unexamined in their entirety. This neglect not only biases scholars' understanding of social and spatial dynamics toward very large global cities but also maintains a void in students' learning. This book specifically explores the transformative relationship between globalization and urban transition in Hartford, Connecticut,...
