From two leading writers and thinkers on Palestine: a profound meditation on memory and what we choose to memorialise

Shanghai actively uses culture to promote itself as a global city. This book explores how this has been conceived and pursued, and what questions it raises for notions of 'culture' and 'economy' as understood in the West. If theoretical work around the 'cultural economy' has problematized these two, this book locates these debates empirically in a non-western metropolis.

Red Creative: Culture and Modernity in China

There are many ideas about how the world should change to improve the lot of large portions of the population and many individuals, groups and organisations who are trying to put those ideas into practice. Development: The Basics is an absorbing introduction to those policies, practices and players in human development and addresses key questions including: Is development simply about alleviating poverty? Do development ideas work best at the global or local level? How can we achieve the goal of sustainable development? Do the outcomes always match the intentions?Featuring examples drawn from around the world, a glossary, timelines and suggestions for further reading this book is the ideal starting point for those new to the study of development.

Development: The Basics

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World

Lost Worlds

Through a series of discussions with practitioners in fields beyond the Humanities, this book explores how key creative writing techniques inspire and inform other disciplines. In turn, this new multidisciplinary view of the mechanics of storytelling sparks new ways of approaching the writing, reading and teaching of fiction in and beyond the writing workshop. A personal voyage of discovery, the book revolves around conversationswith specialists in archaeology, genetics, architecture, medicine, law and botanical science to consider how specific techniques - narrative time, characterisation, fictionalstructures, plotting, point of view and place - inform their work. Through a series of reflections, short fictions, practical exercises and prompts, these case studies then suggest new insights and methods for investigating key writing techniques, which in turn advocate for closer interactions between STEM, the humanities and arts practice. With creative arts subjects increasingly under pressure to justify their significance in contemporary work and life, Jacqueline Yallop makes a case for the re-evaluation of the importance of narrative writing craft in the world beyond personal practiceand student assignment.

Natural Resource Extraction and Development

The first collection of critical writings on the work of the influential contemporary French artist Pierre Huyghe. Influenced by wide-ranging ideas from land art and institutional critique to experimental cinematic practices and narrative film, the groundbreaking work of Pierre Huyghe since the early 1990s has arguably, even indelibly, altered the landscape of contemporary art. The French artist works at the beguiling intersection of fiction and reality, representation and performance, spectacle and memory, chance and agency, living organisms and technological entities. As formats and discourses of cinema (be it Godard or Lumet) and architecture, (invented or existing) holidays and games, (puppet) theatre and opera, fairy tales and (travel) literature, museology and computer technology, life sciences and popular culture (like Manga comics or Disney movies) are renegotiated in Huyghe’s variegated projects, the methods and modalities of producing, exposing, and experiencing art, in turn, come under both critical scrutiny and allegorical speculation. The essays and interviews by preeminent scholars, critics, and curators, including Benjamin Buchloh, David Joselit, and Molly Nesbit, compiled in this volume trace the trajectory of Huyghe’s practice over the last three decades, from the artist’s earlier engagements with the built environment, the temporalities of cinema and television, the customs of social communities, and the volatile property relations in global media culture, to his most recent and much-discussed ecological redefinitions of the objects and sites of art. At the same time these texts and conversations ponder and gauge the far-reaching implications of Huyghe’s many seminal artworks for the history, theory, and ontology of art in the early twenty-first century.

This volume deals with the determinants of both good and bad health, at individual as well as community levels, or in a broader sense, all of which are determined by multiple, critically interlinked actors that are surprisingly concentrated within the built environment. It analyzes the critical challenges in contemporary Indian cities — rapid urbanization accompanied by challenges from climate change, abnormal weather, urban flooding, and many other extreme events.
 This work is a timely effort that encompasses the prospects and constraints of public health when India is rapidly urbanizing, which puts severe strains on pre-existing urban health infrastructure and services to meet basic human needs, along with significant shrinkage of open, green spaces. It is also relevant when India is recovering from the nightmare of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was largely an urban health hazard, and the Indian urban health system needs substantial renewal.
 The book sheds light on those Indian cities, surprisingly two-thirds of the total numbers, that lack local area plans, zonal plans, and master plans. This absence affects a significant proportion of the urban population that is outside the planned neighborhoods, with unplanned, and in most cases inadequate, health infrastructure and services.
 This volume takes into account the typical health behavior in the built environment due to the increasing likelihood of a sedentary lifestyle that leads to anxiety, cardiovascular diseases, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, and many other similar signs of poor health associated with this lifestyle.
 The book serves to explore the linkages between the isolated notions of green spaces, smart cities, physical activities, mental health, and other beneficial elements. Amid the urban–industrial framework, these factors could be effective in resolving the critical public health crisis in transformative built environments and cityscapes through the synthesis of cross-disciplinary knowledge.

<div>Unpack the powerful visual symbols artists have used throughout history.&nbsp; &nbsp; From a single flower to a carefully placed skull, works of art across history are filled with symbols that carry powerful meanings. The Symbols of Art reveals how artists use these symbols to communicate ideas without relying on words.&nbsp; &nbsp; Why is there a lily in that religious painting? Why does a still life include an hourglass, a mirror or a piece of fruit? In some cases, these symbols would have been immediately understood by contemporary viewers but now need decoding for a modern audience. In other instances, symbolism is more deliberately elusive, inviting viewers to look closer and think deeper.&nbsp; &nbsp; This richly illustrated visual reference includes:&nbsp;<ul><li>Over 100 key symbols drawn from art history&nbsp;</li><li>Symbols from the natural world, the manmade world, the supernatural, and colours and shapes&nbsp;</li><li>Famous artworks used as case studies to show symbolism in context&nbsp;</li><li>How meanings change across cultures, movements and centuries&nbsp;</li><li>An easy-to-navigate, fully indexed structure designed for quick consultation as well as browsing&nbsp;</li></ul> Bringing together examples from across periods, cultures and artistic movements, art historian Susie Hodge explains how symbolic meanings can shift depending on time, place and intention, revealing layers of interpretation that radically deepen our understanding of artworks.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Clearly organised and expertly written, The Symbols of Art is both an authoritative reference and an inviting guide for curious readers.&nbsp; &nbsp; Whether you’re visiting a gallery, studying art history or simply want to see artworks with fresh eyes, this book gives you the tools to decode visual meaning and experience art more deeply.&nbsp;</div>

Decoding the Hidden Meanings of Art

The Symbols of Art

The law codes in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region are a well-crafted blend of civil and Islamic law in which civil law principles do not violate Islamic provisions. Yet, common law principles derived either from English common law or Islamic customary usages remain unidentified and thus ignored. Here, this complex scenario is rectified through a comparative analysis of the primary data (e.g. cases, statutes and arbitral award decisions), adding common law and uncodified Islamic custom to MENA law codes. The purpose of this comparative analysis is to allow common legal principles found in civil, common and Islamic law to be distilled in order to create a new, harmonised international commercial arbitration law code (HICALC) or uniform Arab arbitration law (UAAL) for adoption in the MENA region, where these principles already greatly influence the legal systems and can be readily assimilated into a harmonised or uniform code. The work demonstrates that this new code would lead to improved arbitral award enforcement in the MENA.
