Zhang Zhanmin: Intelligent
Infrastructure for Smart Cities

Intelligent Infrastructure for Smart Cities

Earthscan Conservation and Development

This book focuses on human-elephant encounters and relationships, showing how these have been politicized and pose challenges for rural development and conservation. It draws from a sustained ethnography of human-elephant conflict and co-operation in India to address key questions at the interface of biodiversity conservation, animal and development geographies.

Encounters, Spaces and Politics

Elephant Conservation and Society in India

This book explores how spontaneous volunteers disrupt the politics and practices of managing the movement of life seekers. Drawing on rich empirical material from the 2015 Greek refugee crisis, it reveals how these unaffiliated actors challenge humanitarian systems shaped by neoliberal logic and border violence.
Through a multimethod approach—including autoethnography, interviews, and participatory observation—the book traces how spontaneous volunteers expose the failures of international organisations and states to uphold human rights. It shows how their presence unsettles dominant narratives, disrupts illiberal governance, and surfaces the emotional and moral cost of crisis response.
Chapters examine the criminalisation of aid, the commodification of humanitarian values, and the psychosocial toll on those who step in where institutions fall short. Situated in Critical Development Studies, this book offers interdisciplinary insights relevant to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working on solidarity, humanitarianism, security, and global governance.

How Spontaneous Volunteers Disrupt the ‘Management’ of Forced Migration

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.

<div>Textiles have been a highly valued part of many Indigenous societies across the world and over millennia. This pathbreaking book examines the large woven ceremonial cloths known as pua kumbu, long associated with the Iban peoples of the interior of Sarawak, Malaysia. In both scholarly and popular studies of these sacred cloths, the process of creating pua kumbu is identified explicitly with the women who weave them, using oral tradition for the passing on of designs and practice, in a task that is skilful, physically demanding and strenuous. Based on more than a decade of ethnographic fieldwork and collaborative engagement with a longhouse community, this study seeks to break new ground, both empirically and conceptually. It is framed around a number of key themes: the origins, symbolism and use of the cloths; the place of female weavers in Iban society; the creative tension between conservation, innovation and transformation; and the significance of insider Indigenous knowledge for sustainable community development. Enriching Iban Pua Kumbu is a valuable work for advanced students, researchers and general readers interested in the intersection of material culture, social status and community engagement, such as cultural anthropologists, archaeologists, economists, museum curators and historians.</div><div><div>

On Digital Architecture in Ten Books

Applied Virtuality Book Series

Treatise on digital architecture Hovestadt's treatise strictly follows the model of the famous treatises by Vitruvius (De architectura) and Alberti (De re aedificatoria), based on the supposition that we find ourselves in a comparable situation today. Vitruvius and Alberti expressed the meaning of architecture in their eras: Roman antiquity and the Renaissance. Hovestadt has done the same for the present day, incorporating considerations of physics, mathematics, technology, literature, and philosophy. Books 1 to 3 deal with the role of the architect and the objectivity of architecture. Books 4 to 6 address the modalities of speaking about and encoding architecture: the secret, the public, and the private. Books 7 to 10 are dedicated to actual digital mechanisms: artificial intelligence, natural communication, gnomonics, and cultural heritage. <ul> <li>An architectural treatise for our age in 10 books </li> <li>Inspired by the works of Vitruvius and Alberti </li> <li>Published in three volumes in the Applied Virtuality series </li></ul>
