Download or read book Jerusalem Transformed written by Professor Emeritus of Modern Jewish History Richard I Cohen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symposium that kicks off the latest volume of Studies in Contemporary Jewry focuses on the city that is at the very center of contemporary Jewish life, both geographically and culturally. Jerusalem is an extremely engaging and beautiful city as well as a source of continual controversy and contestation. The authors in the symposium discuss a wide range of topics, with a focus on politics and culture, offering readers provocative views on the city over the last 120 years. Essays by historians and cultural scholars in the volume engage with such issues as visions of the city among Jews and non-Jews and musical and literary imaginings of the city, while other scholars bring original interpretations of the city's political evolution in the past century that will both surprise and intrigue readers. The extensive book review section illustrates the consistent interest in modern Jewish history and culture.
Download or read book Patrick Geddes and Town Planning written by Noah Hysler-Rubin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Geddes is considered a forefather of the modern urban planning movement. This book studies the various, and even opposing ways, in which Geddes has been interpreted up to this day, providing a new reading of his life, writing and plans. Geddes' scrutiny is presented as a case study for Town Planning as a whole. Tying together for the first time key concepts in cultural geography and colonial urbanism, the book proposes a more vigorous historiography, exposing hidden narratives and past agendas still dominating the disciplinary discourse. Written by a cultural geographer and a town planner, this book offers a rounded, full-length analysis of Geddes' vision and its material manifestation, functioning also as a much needed critical tool to evaluate Modern Town Planning as an academic and practical discipline. The book also includes a long overdue model of his urban theory.
Download or read book The Worlds of Patrick Geddes written by Philip Boardman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978, The Worlds of Patrick Geddes is a study of Patrick Geddes’ thought and action, his relationships and his life, as someone who defied labelling and who was years ahead of his contemporaries. The work of Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) is coming to be more and more widely appreciated, as his ideas on many diverse subjects are being gradually assimilated into the mainstream of modern thought. Geddes has been confidently labelled as a biologist, town-planner, sociologist and educator; but he was all of these and more. This book will be of interest to students of biology, urban planning and sociology.

Download or read book Michael Scot written by Tom Hubbard and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "History records Michael Scot (c.1175-c.1235) as one of the foremost intellectuals of medieval Europe, a wide-ranging Renaissance man before the actual Renaissance. Legend records him as a wizard in league with the Devil; Dante consigned him to a circle of the Inferno. Within Scotland, Fife and the Borders are rival claimants for his place of birth. Paris, Bologna, Naples, Sicily, and (above all) Toledo were the scenes of his scholarship, which included alchemy, astrology/astronomy, medicine and psychology as well as other disciplines. His activity as a translator in Toledo brought Arab learning into Europe and he contributed to the ferment of Aristotelian enquiry in its uneasy co-existence with Christian faith. Of his original writings, the Liber physionomiae is his best known; it was translated into many European vernacular languages." "The present book is the first to offer an extensive account of both the historical and legendary Michael Scot, together with representations of him in literature and the visual arts. He has attracted the creative attention of James Hogg, Sir Walter Scott, D. G. Rossetti, R. L. Stevenson, Patrick Geddes, John Duncan, John Buchan, as well as contemporary poets such as Douglas Dunn, Kenneth White and William Hershaw."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Envisioning Sociology written by John Scott and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Envisioning Sociology is a landmark work, the first major study of the founding of sociology in Britain and the enormous contributions made by the intellectual circle led by Victor Branford and Patrick Geddes. Authors John Scott and Ray Bromley chronicle the biographical connections and personal partnerships of the circle's key participants, their international connections, their organization-building work, and the business activities that underpinned their efforts. Branford and Geddes fashioned an ambitious and wide-ranging interdisciplinary vision, drawing on geography, anthropology, economics, and urban planning, in addition to sociology. This vision was an integral part of a project of social reconstruction, a "third way" eschewing both liberalism and communism in favor of cooperation, redistribution, and federalism. Envisioning Sociology uncovers a previously hidden history of the social sciences, giving readers a fascinating glimpse into early twentieth-century social science and political economy, while demonstrating the contemporary relevance of the ideas of these underrated figures. Although Branford and Geddes failed to establish the grand sociology they envisioned, their ideas helped develop the theory and practice of community development, participatory democracy, bioregionalism, historic preservation, and neighborhood upgrading.
