The Mobilities of Ships
ISBN: 9781138082762 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We live in a world that is ever on the move, as is increasingly recognised within research on mobilities. Yet studies of mobility have failed to ‘go to sea’ with the same enthusiasm as mobilities ashore. When we consider mobility, we most often examine those movements that evidently form part of our everyday lives. We forget to look outwards to the sea. Yet ships have played – and continue to play – a significant role in shaping socio-cultural, political and economic life. This book turns our attention to the manifold mobilities that occur at sea through an exploration of the...

Furthermore, although Chinese cities have a remarkably long history, existing methods of urban form study in China are either descriptive or loosely structured, whereas a comprehensive methodology is necessary to 'read' Chinese urban forms in a consistent way, and thus inform designers and...

ISBN: 9781138853393 / Angielski / Miękka / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
