Download or read book Smartcities Resilient Landscapes and Eco Warriors written by CJ Lim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from the success of the first edition, Smartcities + Eco-Warriors (2010), this book is the latest innovative response on urban resilience from one of the world’s leading urban design and architectural thinkers. An ecological symbiosis between nature, society and the built form, the Smartcity cultivates new spatial practices and creates diverse forms of resilient landscapes including and beyond urban agriculture. The notion of the Smartcity is developed through a series of international case studies, some commissioned by government organisations, others speculative and polemic. This second edition has nine new case studies, and additional ecological sustainability studies covering sensitivity, design criteria, and assessments for ecological construction plans. The book concludes with two new essays on the romance of trees and the empowering nature of resilient landscapes. Smartcities, Resilient Landscapes + Eco-warriors represents a crucial voice in the discourse of climate change and the potential opportunities to improve the ecological function of existing habitats or create new landscapes which are considered beneficial to local ecology and resilience. It is indispensable reading for practitioners and students in the fields of landscape, urban design, architecture and environmental engineering. An inspiration to government agencies and NGOs dealing with sustainability, this work also resonates with anyone concerned about cities, landscapes, food and water security, and energy conservation.
Download or read book Resilient Russian Women in the 1920s 1930s written by Marcelline Hutton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of Russian educated women, peasants, prisoners, workers, wives, and mothers of the 1920s and 1930s show how work, marriage, family, religion, and even patriotism helped sustain them during harsh times. The Russian Revolution launched an eco-nomic and social upheaval that released peasant women from the control of traditional extended families. It promised urban women equality and created opportunities for employment and higher education. Yet, the revolution did little to eliminate Russian patriarchal culture, which continued to undermine women's social, sexual, eco-nomic, and political conditions. Divorce and abortion became more widespread, but birth control remained limited, and sexual liberation meant greater freedom for men than for women. The transformations that women needed to gain true equality were postponed by the pov-erty of the new state and the political agendas of leaders like Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.

Download or read book Vanguard of the Imam written by Afshon Ostovar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iran's Revolutionary Guards are one of the most important forces in the Middle East today. As the appointed defender of Iran's revolution, the Guards have evolved into a pillar of the Islamic Republic and the spearhead of its influence. Their sway has spread across the Middle East, where the Guards have overseen loyalist support to Bashar al-Assad in Syria and been a staunch backer in Iraq's war against ISIS-bringing its own troops, Lebanon's Hezbollah, and Shiite militias to the fight. Links to terrorism, human rights abuses, and the suppression of popular democracy have shrouded the Revolutionary Guards in controversy. In spite of their prominence, the Guards remain poorly understood to outside observers. In Vanguard of the Imam, Afshon Ostovar has written the first comprehensive history of the organization. Situating the rise of the Guards in the larger contexts of Shiite Islam, modern Iranian history, and international affairs, Ostovar takes a multifaceted approach in demystifying the organization and detailing its evolution since 1979. Politics, power, and religion collide in this story, wherein the Revolutionary Guards transform from a rag-tag militia established in the midst of revolutionary upheaval into a military and covert force with a global reach. The Guards have been fundamental to the success of the Islamic revolution. The symbiotic relationship between them and Iran's clerical rulers underpins the regime's nearly unshakeable system of power. The Guards have used their privileged position at home to export Iran's revolution beyond its borders, establishing client armies in their image and extending Iran's strategic footprint in the process. Ostovar tenaciously documents the Guards' transformation into a power-player and explores why the group matters now more than ever to regional and global affairs. The book simultaneously serves as a history of modern Iran, and provides a crucial and engrossing entryway into the complex world of war, politics, and identity in the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to prevalent military historical thinking, the early medieval general was not an ignorant warrior chieftain, but an able, astute, intelligent, and often very cunning commander. Through the use of contemporary literature, art, and archaeological evidence, this study argues that these generals could and did effectively exercise command control before, during, and after battle. Using the examples of a dozen or so leaders and drawing upon over 60 battles, this study brings to light the genius and the adaptability of medieval generals.

Book excerpt: "Twenty-Eighty-Four" stands as a stark warning in the vein of George Orwell's visionary work, echoing the concerns of a world on the brink of losing its freedoms to technological and political forces. Set in a future where an illusion of security overshadows personal liberties, this narrative unfolds in a society where the line between ideological control and dystopian reality is thin. The year 2084 reveals a world transformed by decades of legal and regulatory changes that have reshaped societal norms and individual freedoms. Under the rule of an all-powerful regime, the essence of nature, history, and time is manipulated, leaving humanity in a state of controlled existence. In this world, Jack Jones, an editor at the Ministry of Truth, begins to question the narratives he's been complicit in crafting. Lena, a figure adept in technology and resistance, ignites his journey to awakening. Together, they embark on a dangerous path to undermine the regime's pervasive influence, using Jack's knowledge of the Ministry and Lena's technological skills. "Twenty-Eighty-Four" is more than a speculative glimpse into a dystopian future; it's a narrative deeply rooted in contemporary societal shifts, reflecting the ongoing struggle for freedom and authenticity. This tale of resilience and rebellion is a reminder and a call to action, urging readers to maintain vigilance against the erosion of independence. It's a tribute to human resilience in the face of authoritarianism, echoing Orwell's timeless message and urging readers to play their part in preventing such a future. In "Twenty-Eighty-Four," the fight for truth and freedom transcends the pages, mirroring the challenges of our own time.
