Media and the Environment
ISBN: 9780415525626 / Angielski / Twarda / 1768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most of what we understand about the environment, we know through the media, broadly defined, and related communication processes. Indeed, such processes have played a vital role in defining the environment as a crucial concept, and in bringing environmental issues and problems to public and political attention. Thus, at least since the emergence and rise of the modern environmental movement in the 1960s, the mass media have been a central public arena for publicizing environmental issues and for contesting claims, arguments, and opinions about our use and abuse of the environment....

Now, to make some sense of the wide range of approaches and...

Healthy Cities
ISBN: 9781138794191 / Angielski / Twarda / 1562 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While the fields of modern city planning and public health emerged together in the nineteenth century to address urban inequities and infectious diseases, they were largely disconnected for much of the twentieth century. In the twenty-first century, planning and public health are reconnecting to address the new health challenges of urbanization and globalization: from racial and ethnic disparities to land-use sprawl, to providing basic services to the millions of urban poor around the world living in informal slum settlements. Reconnecting the fields of planning and public health to...

Knowing what to do prior to, during and after a disaster is critical to the recovery and resilience of a city. While significant attention has been paid to disaster recovery in recent years, the prolific research that has been published on the subject has been in disparate journals and books, each appealing to the interest of a particular profession. This four volume series...

This is a widespread understanding by many inhabitants of contemporary society across the Globe. But what does it actually mean? During over one decade the mobilities turn within the social sciences have provided a new set of insights into the repercussions of mobilities to social networks, personal identities, and our relationship to the built environment. The omnipresence of mobilities within everyday life, high politics, technology, and tourism (to mention but a few) all point to a key insight harnessed by the mobilities turn . Namely that mobilities is much... The world is on the move. This is a widespread understanding by many inhabitants of contemporary society across the Globe. But what does it actuall... |

Energy, Poverty, and Development
ISBN: 9781138014787 / Angielski / Twarda / 2028 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Incredibly, close to one-quarter of humanity lives without electricity or other modern forms of energy, while as many as one-third of the world s population relies (at least in part) on traditional biofuels, such as cow dung or firewood, at great cost to its health, security, and economic welfare. Although these stark facts have only recently been fully acknowledged, energy deprivation is a major obstacle to development efforts around the world, especially though not exclusively in the Bottom Billion economies of sub-Saharan Africa and developing Asia. Indeed, sustainable development... Incredibly, close to one-quarter of humanity lives without electricity or other modern forms of energy, while as many as one-third of the world s p... |

Gender and the Environment
ISBN: 9780415530446 / Angielski / Twarda / 1651 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Campaigns to redress gender inequities and injustices have resulted in significant achievements towards equality, especially for well-educated, career-orientated, white women in the West. However, such campaigns have primarily been conducted in the male-dominated arenas of public politics, paid work, and education, and the successes of women s equality are usually calculated by the masculinist values of politics and the workplace. These, the learned editor of this new Routledge Major Works collection avers, are the very values predicated on continuous economic and material growth, fuelled...

Mapping: Critical Concepts in Geography
ISBN: 9780415718110 / Angielski / Twarda / 1658 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The map is a central element of our visual culture. It has also been a vital representation technology in many scholarly disciplines for hundreds of years, as well as a practical tool for navigation and a means for the government of territory. But, as the editor of this new four-volume collection from Routledge explains, the rhetorical power and technical complexity of how maps work are relatively underappreciated and not well analysed across the social sciences and beyond. Now, to enable researchers and advanced students to make better sense of a vast corpus of scholarship, "Mapping"... The map is a central element of our visual culture.

By closely examining its public spaces, we can decipher the social, cultural and political life of a city. Public space is the arena for individual and group expression; a forum for dialogue, debate, and contestation; a space for conviviality, leisure, performance, and display; a place for economic survival and refuge; a site for the exchange of information and ideas; and a setting for nature. Public space has concerned philosophers, political thinkers, social scientists, legal scholars, planners, and architects and has also intrigued writers, painters, musicians, film-makers, and other...
