Perception vs. Reality

In today's complex and uncertain world, urban and territorial resilience is vital. From natural and human-made disasters to climate change and globalization, cities and regions face challenges that demand preparedness, adaptability, and transformability, i.e., the capacity to absorb shocks. As social-ecological and complex adaptive systems, they must strengthen their ability to respond and transform. Cultural heritage is increasingly recognized as a territorial asset that enhances resilience by providing identity, tangible resources, and historical knowledge useful for risk prevention and management. In the 21st century, heritage-whether underwater, rural, or embedded in urban space -is seen not as a remnant of the past but as a living system and a source of identity, creativity, economic innovation, cohesion, and environmental sustainability. This Reprint responds to the need to rethink the role of heritage in building resilience by assembling twelve articles that examine its activation across diverse geographic contexts (marine, urban, rural, etc.). The contributions converge on a pivotal argument: heritage must shift from a preservation-focused paradigm to one of active contribution, becoming a strategic asset within place-based development and a driver of new economic activities and innovation. The papers span the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe and address varied forms of heritage, including maritime and underwater cultural heritage, architectural ensembles, vernacular landscapes, traditional practices, and cultural-creative industries.

Banking and finance has emerged as a leading sector of the Indian economy. Notwithstanding this, due to its technical nature, the sector has by and large remained outside the purview of the uninitiated readers. The Routledge Handbook of Indian Banking and Finance is devoted to analytical accounts of various aspects of Indian banking and finance and tries to address this vacuum.Written in non-technical language by prominent academics and industry experts, each chapter explores the basic tenets and current challenges within Indian banking and finance across three core areas: institutions, markets, and regulation. Institutions cover issues relating to commercial banks, co-operative banks, technological aspects of banking, mutual funds, insurance, or financial inclusion. Various markets are covered as well, and these include equity, bond, commodities, private equity, forex, money, real estate finance, or alternative assets. The regulatory section addresses the regulation of banking, the risk management practices and norms in the banking sector, insurance, pension funds, the securities market, and the role of government in finance. The chapters provide a comprehensive narrative tracing the evolutionary chronicle of a particular segment of the financial sector while delving into current issues and speculating on the shape of things to come.Offering comprehensive coverage, this book will be a go-to resource for beginners and specialists alike. It will be of interest to those working with corporate finance, banking, finance, economics, business and industry, management and marketing, and banking- and finance-related law.

Dodging and Confronting Stigma examines the lives of people who were stigmatized or marginalized in Japan’s late classical and medieval ages. Often characterized as beggars, they in fact pursued a wide range of occupations and lifestyles, even while haunted by discrimination and exploitation. They developed skills, acquired property rights, and even manipulated the elite who controlled them, thereby achieving some degree of self-determination. Outcasts are frequently mentioned in the records of Buddhist temples, and the variety of references provides evidence for the many ways they participated in medieval religious life: as cleansers of pollution, as cremation and burial workers, as objects of salvific efforts—and as guards and enforcers in an increasingly militarized religious establishment. 	 	 	Complex and stratified, outcast society as a whole included people who demanded their rights through litigation and arms, just as did others in Japan’s medieval world. The emergence, especially in the late medieval age, of people who occupied marginal positions in society—neither wholly stigmatized nor wholly free of stigma—complicates the picture. Such marginal people included bearers of Japanese culture such as garden designers, theatrical performers, and shamans, making it impossible to simply write them off as social pariahs or victims of discrimination. Janet Goodwin demonstrates that outcast and marginal society was a complex one whose members fulfilled diverse functions necessary to medieval society, formed complex relationships with institutions and individuals of power, and made enduring contributions to medieval culture. 	 	 	Most studies of late classical and medieval Japan focus on elites: monarchs and courtiers, powerful warriors, and high-ranking religious figures. Indeed, these are the people who appear prominently in sources of the time. However, tantalizing pictures of outcast and marginal people appear in an array of sources such as aristocrats’ diaries, legal documents, tales, scrolls, and screen paintings, among others. In emphasizing people at the bottom of society and on its margins, and the ways that they dodged and confronted stigma, this book broadens the picture of Japanese society of the time.

Dodging and Confronting Stigma

Sustainable correctional culture is not created by chance. It is built, maintained, and defended every day-one detail at a time.

Correctional facilities are among the most complex and high-risk environments in public safety. Jails are responsible for protecting staff, maintaining order, safeguarding inmates, and preserving public trust-all while facing staffing shortages, mental health crises, digital contraband, and increasing scrutiny.

Yet many facilities fail for the same reason: small lapses in discipline, professionalism, and accountability are ignored until disorder becomes normalized.
Broken Windows Behind Bars: Transforming Jail Operations Through Order and Accountability applies the widely recognized Broken Windows Theory to the unique realities of jail and detention operations. Written by Shaun Klucznik, a career corrections professional since 1997 and President of the American Jail Association (2025-2026), this book provides a clear, experience-based framework for building sustainable order inside correctional facilities.

Klucznik draws from decades of jail leadership, staff training, and operational command to show how minor infractions-unchecked sanitation issues, inconsistent counts, lax supervision, and silent peer culture-create conditions for violence, contraband, escapes, lawsuits, and institutional collapse. More importantly, he shows how correcting small details consistently creates professionalism that endures.

This book goes beyond theory. Through real-world case studies, leadership analysis, and practical tools, readers learn how to:Apply Broken Windows principles to jail operations and detention facilities
Build accountability through peer correction and supervisor presence
Strengthen staff morale while reducing burnout and turnover
Prevent security failures before they escalate into crises
Integrate training, policy, and accreditation into lasting culture
Use technology as a support tool without undermining human judgment



Broken Windows Behind Bars is written for jail administrators, detention officers, supervisors, sheriffs, policymakers, criminal justice students, and public safety leaders who want practical solutions-not temporary programs.

This is not a book about punishment. It is a book about professionalism, safety, and ethical responsibility. When order is enforced consistently, jails become safer for staff, more stable for inmates, and more credible to the communities they serve.
