Download or read book Seeing Cities Change written by Jerome Krase and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities have always been dynamic social environments for visual and otherwise symbolic competition between the groups who live and work within them. In contemporary urban areas, all sorts of diversity are simultaneously increased and concentrated, chief amongst them in recent years being the ethnic and racial transformation produced by migration and the gentrification of once socially marginal areas of the city. Seeing Cities Change demonstrates the utility of a visual approach and the study of ordinary streetscapes to document and analyze how the built environment reflects the changing cultural and class identities of neighborhood residents. Discussing the manner in which these changes relate to issues of local and national identities and multiculturalism, it presents studies of various cities on both sides of the Atlantic to show how global forces and the competition between urban residents in 'contested terrains' is changing the faces of cities around the globe. Blending together a variety of sources from scholarly and mass media, this engaging volume focuses on the importance of 'seeing' and, in its consideration of questions of migration, ethnicity, diversity, community, identity, class and culture, will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists and geographers with interests in visual methods and urban spaces.

Download or read book Fear of Crime written by Dan A. Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies of fear of crime assume that is rimarily induced by direct or indirect contact with a criminal event. Consequently programs designed to deal with this problem focus on either increased police protection or a number of crime prevention programs. In this study, Dan A. Lewis and Greta W. Salem raise questions both about the validity of these assumptions and the effectiveness of the programs. A five-year investigation has led the authors to challenge those theories that focus only on the psychological responses to victimizations and fail to take into account the social and political environments within which such fears are shaped and nurtured.Explicitly laying out a 'social control' perspective which informs their research and analysis, the authors examine the fear of crime in ten neighorhoods in Chicago, San Francisco, and Philadelphia which represent the range of communities typically found in urban areas. On the basis of their analysis the authors contend that fear of crime is not related to exposure or knowledge about criminal events alone but also stems from residents' concerns about broad changes taking place in their neighborhoods. Many people, they argue, are afraid not only because crime occurs but also because they believe that they have lost control over the environment in which they live.Lewis and Salem conclude that the eradication of fear of crime requires strategies that move beyond the traditional crime prevention programs to consider ways to restore the control that community residents feel they have lost and the possibilities for a more equitable distribution of security in urban areas.

Download or read book Forever Belle written by Randolph Paul Runyon and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Born into a politically connected Kentucky family, Sallie Ward (1827-1896) began her public career as a southern belle who captivated the popular press in Kentucky and throughout the nation. Known for her somewhat scandalous behavior, including obtaining a divorce and smoking cigars, she cut a swathe across the nineteenth century that seems out of proportion to her real circumstances. While Sallie and her frequent travels and adventures are the focus, there is also valuable material on her family, and especially on the murder trial of her brother Matt Ward, in which he was rather deplorably let off by virtue of his connections to the rich and powerful. This study is both an analysis of a unique character in nineteenth-century America and an examination of how celebrity was created and perpetuated before the rise of mass culture"--

Download or read book Defy Gravity written by Caroline Myss, Ph.D. and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical; it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason. Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments—from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer—Caroline dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing’s spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies, she demonstrates how conventional and holistic medicine often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional, psychological, or spiritual influences behind any ailment. Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul, which we experience through exploring our seven shadow passions, building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces, and learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern it. This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. You can heal any illness. You can channel grace. And you can learn to live fearlessly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant New York Times Bestseller! From New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes an electrifying fantasy romance, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Aveyard. A desperate prince. A daring outlaw. A dangerous flirtation. In the Wilds of Kandala, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade has been watching people suffer for too long. A mysterious sickness is ravaging the land and the cure, Moonflower Elixir, is only available for the wealthy. So every night, she defies the royal edicts and sneaks out, stealing Moonflower petals and leaving the elixir for those in need. In the palace of Kandala, Prince Corrick serves as the King's Justice, meting out vicious punishments and striking fear into the hearts of agitators and outlaws. Corrick knows he must play this role convincingly--with a shortage of elixir and threats of rebellion looming ever closer, the King's grip on power is tenuous at best, and Corrick knows his brother is the kingdom's best hope for survival. But when an act of unspeakable cruelty brings the royal and the outlaw face to face, the natural enemies are faced with an impossible choice--and a surprising spark. Will they follow their instincts to destroy each other? Or will they save the kingdom together . . . and let that spark ignite?

Download or read book Summary of The Anthropocene Reviewed written by Alexander Cooper and published by BookSummaryGr. This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anthropocene Reviewed - A Comprehensive Summary John Green's book The Anthropocene Reviewed is an experimental compilation of memoirs in which the author addresses significant topics, events, and aspects of his life through a series of very informal five-star reviews. He examines what may appear to be a motley collection of dissimilar elements that make up modern life, including food and drink, music, entertainment, the various ways we engage our senses, artificial enjoyments, history, and a variety of other topics. Regardless of how haphazard they appear, there is always a reason why he chose these items for his narrative. Often, the things he reviews have a specific personal meaning for him and allow him to look beyond his own mental health difficulties and world fears. Many of the topics he writes about, no matter how specific they appear to be, have a broader resonance for the globe as a whole. Written at the height of the pandemic, he speaks for the vast majority of people, many of whom share his fears. We learn a lot about John Green from his reviews, which he admittedly wrote 'in code' as a fiction writer. We meet his family and discover how he copes with the stress of being a husband and a father in a volatile world. Along the trip, we meet a variety of historical personalities, writers, and poets. The romanticism of his prose cannot be conveyed in this synopsis, and there is no room for the numerous quotes he employs to make his arguments. There are many more information about his cognitive processes when it comes to dealing with his fears in the book itself. We divided the chapters into five parts to allow you a chance to comprehend the book's numerous concepts, with each part ending with a workbook portion. There is a brief conclusion and assessment of some of the important topics expounded on by John Green in the book at the end.
