As Harm de Blij argues in The Power of Place, in crucial ways--from the uneven distribution of natural resources to the unequal availability of opportunity--geography continues to hold billions of people in its grip. We are all born into natural and cultural environments that shape what we become, individually and collectively. From our "mother tongue" to our father's faith, from medical risks to natural hazards, where we start our journey has much to do with our destiny. Hundreds of millions of farmers in the river basins...

The City as an Entertainment Machine
ISBN: 9780762310609 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. People both live and work in cities. And where they choose to live shifts where and how they work. Amenities enter as enticements to bring new residents or tourists to a city. Amenities have thus become new public concerns for many cities in the US and much of Northern Europe. Old ways of thinking, old paradigms - such as location, location, location and land, labour, capital, and management generate economic development - are too simple. So is human capital drives development. To these earlier questions, we add: how do amenities and related consumption attract talented people, who in turn...

Space, Place and Gender
ISBN: 9780745612362 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume brings together Doreen Massey's key writings on three areas central to a range of disciplines: space and social relations; place and identity; and space, place and gender. It traces the development of ideas about the social nature of space and place and the relation of both to issues of gender and debates within feminism. Massey suggests that it is debates in these areas which have been crucial in bringing geography to the centre of social-science thinking in recent years, and this book includes writings that have been fundamental to that process.

Societal Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change
ISBN: 9780792363842 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Changes in climate and climate variability have an effect on people's behaviour around the world, and public institutions have an important part to play in influencing our ability to respond to and plan for climate risk.

Another theme of the book is the integrated role of adaptation and mitigation in framing issues and performing analyses. Adaptation costs fall most heavily on the poor and special attention needs to be paid to adaptation by the poorest...
