Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Housing Problem, in War and in Peace Why has the provision of shelter for workmen come to be called "housing"? Why has housing become a problem? Why cannot workmen build their own houses? Why will nobody build houses at the present time? It is intended that these questions shall be fully answered in the following pages. When we acknowledged that we were unprepared for war, did we realize that the backbone of modern war-making is decent housing? That the weakest spot in our armor was the lack of decent houses for millions of the workmen upon whom the burden rests? Now that we have found this out through the costly and dangerous delays in building ships - and in every other industrial activity - do we not see that we have never been prepared for Peace? Of all the nations of the world, the United States stands alone in its tenacious adherence to the policy that decent houses can be provided by rigid "tenement-house laws." Such an archaic policy is about as well calculated to produce good houses as a regiment of archers would be useful in France at the present time. For months, we have blundered and muddled over the housing question raised by war. The full story of what this has cost will be written at some future time. Now, Congress has appropriated $50,000,000 with which to make a start toward housing the workers in our shipyards. Other millions - many and many millions - will have to be spent for this purpose, and this book is intended to provide the information by means of which the people of the United States may form their own conclusions as to whether or no our attitude on this vital question shall be as enlightened as that of the rest of the world, or fall back on a par with the intelligence of the dark ages. The illustrations are published, not as suggestions for the solution of our problem, but as examples of the scope and thoroughness with which others have already dealt with the question. All of the material which follows, with the exception of a few illustrations, is reprinted from the Journal of the American Institute of Architects, issues of September, 1917 to February, 1918, inclusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Through elegant ethnography and nuanced theorization . . . gives us a new way of thinking about violence, development, modernity, and ultimately, the city.” —Ananya Roy, University of California, Los Angeles Beirut is a city divided. Following the Green Line of the civil war, dividing the Christian east and the Muslim west, today hundreds of such lines dissect the city. For the residents of Beirut, urban planning could hold promise: a new spatial order could bring a peaceful future. But with unclear state structures and outsourced public processes, urban planning has instead become a contest between religious-political organizations and profit-seeking developers. Neighborhoods reproduce poverty, displacement, and urban violence. For the War Yet to Come examines urban planning in three neighborhoods of Beirut’s southeastern peripheries, revealing how these areas have been developed into frontiers of a continuing sectarian order. Hiba Bou Akar argues these neighborhoods are arranged, not in the expectation of a bright future, but according to the logic of “the war yet to come”: urban planning plays on fears and differences, rumors of war, and paramilitary strategies to organize everyday life. As she shows, war in times of peace is not fought with tanks, artillery, and rifles, but involves a more mundane territorial contest for land and apartment sales, zoning and planning regulations, and infrastructure projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An informed modern plan for post-2020 American foreign policy that avoids the opposing dangers of retrenchment and overextension Russia and China are both believed to have "grand strategies"--detailed sets of national security goals backed by means, and plans, to pursue them. In the United States, policy makers have tried to articulate similar concepts but have failed to reach a widespread consensus since the Cold War ended. While the United States has been the world's prominent superpower for over a generation, much American thinking has oscillated between the extremes of isolationist agendas versus interventionist and overly assertive ones. Drawing on historical precedents and weighing issues such as Russia's resurgence, China's great rise, North Korea's nuclear machinations, and Middle East turmoil, Michael O'Hanlon presents a well-researched, ethically sound, and politically viable vision for American national security policy. He also proposes complementing the Pentagon's set of "4+1" pre-existing threats with a new "4+1" biological, nuclear, digital, climatic, and internal dangers.
