Download or read book Re Imagining Resilient Productive Landscapes written by Carla Brisotto and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how lessons from past urban planning experiences can inform current debates on urban agriculture. Productive landscapes today have been posited as instruments for the positive transformation related to territorial fragility and abandonment, promoting social cohesion, food security and wider environmental and economic benefits. The book will re-map the way in which seeming landscape limitations and challenges can be turned into potential, innovation and a new lease of urban-rural life. It does so by drawing on significant past urban agricultural experiences in planning as vectors for new critical reflections relevant to re-igniting ideas for future envisioning of urban scenarios in which productive landscapes play fundamental transformative roles. The focus is on planning ideas and the roles of key individual planners, all of which have designed agricultural strategies for the city at some point in their careers. It intends to help us today reimagine urban-rural relationships, and the transformation of under or mis-used urban open spaces, peri-urban areas, fringe conditions and in-between spaces.

Download or read book Urban Agriculture written by Craig Pearson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us live in cities. These are becoming increasingly complex and removed from broad-scale agriculture. Yet within cities there are many examples of greenspaces and local food production that bring multiple benefits that often go unnoticed. This book presents a collection of the latest thinking on the multiple dimensions of sustainable greenspace and food production within cities. It describes the diversity of 'urban agriculture' and seeks a balanced representation between the biophysical and the social. It deals with urban agriculture across scales - from indoor plants to farm-scale filtration of greywater. A range of examples and initiatives from both developed and developing countries is described and evaluated.
Download or read book Unsung Heroes written by Michael Winkler and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These one hundred and fifty true stories give voice to the many men and women who played an important part in establishing Australia's pioneering spirit but who mostly didn't make it into the history books. Drawn from the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame 'Unsung Heroes' database, they reveal the characters who were drovers, property owners, shearers, missionaries and amateur explorers. They bring outback history alive as do tales of the bush folk who built the fences, baked the bread, taught the children, provided entertainment, shod the horses, tended the sick and enforced the law. From veteran expeditioner Ned Ryan, to possum trapper Harry Stevens, Boer War veteran Jack Kyle-Little and eccentric pioneers Charles and Cora Chalmers, these are stories of resilience, courage and luck, about people with more grit than an outback sandstorm. 'This is the essence of what Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson wrote about . . .' John Williamson All royalites from the sales of this book go to the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre. Situated in Queensland's central western town of Longreach, it is Australia's premier outback heritage destination.

Download or read book Hanged in Mudgee written by Helen E J Cottee and published by Justice Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mudgee was a small town west of the Blue Mountains where from the beginnings of settlement savagery reigned between First Nations and settlers. The town was ideally located for a Gaol and for punishment. Life was harsh and many found solace in alcohol which in a lot of cases, led to trouble. The Gaol was in the center of town and although surrounded by high walls did not block out the sounds of those being punished. Four men were convicted and hanged in Mudgee between 1875 and 1893 inside the 'new' Mudgee Gaol, three for murder and ones for rape. All paid the ultimate price. All were hanged by the state executioner, Robert Rice Howard, known as 'Nosey Bob'. Two of the men, George Rope and George Pitt were builders of the gallows and the first two hanged on them. The story of the construction of the gallows is one not to be missed. This highly readable book walks the reader through the development of the town, law and order and gives a detailed account of crimes committed, the trials and finally the executions. The book fully researched by Helen Cottee and illustrated with many photographs, signatures, drawings and plans of buildings and crime scenes. The Gaol was demolished in the 1930's and the contents auctioned. Each chapter, where available finish with the family trees of those executed and of their victims. It is bound to appeal to anyone interested in the darker side.
