Routledge Environmental History

Providing an in-depth exploration into the rivers of Habsburg Galicia (part of Austrian Poland) in the 19th century, this volume combines analysis of historical hydrographic data with modern GIS and remote sensing tools.Considering geographical and historical factors, this book draws on both natural processes and human activities to analyse how river valleys function and highlight contemporary challenges relating to water resource management in the context of climate change. This collection is divided into four sections: Rivers, Flow, Control and Economy. The first section consists of studies on rivers in Galicia from geographical, borderland, legislative and literary perspectives. The second section deals with the floods that regularly affected Galicia in the 19th and 20th centuries, causing significant economic and social damage, providing pertinent parallels with current issues in the context of climate change. The third section analyses the actions of the state and autonomous authorities, aimed at controlling rivers through regulation, the construction of flood embankments and the drainage of wetlands. The final section includes studies on the role of rivers in the economic life.This is a detailed and fascinating examination for scholars and students interested in Eastern European environmental history, hydrology, environmental management and water resource governance, and environmental economics.

The Basics

Through a concise and accessible overview, Economic Geography: The Basics examines how geographical concepts - place, space, territory, networks, and scale - enable the study of economic phenomena from a spatial perspective.Readers will develop an understanding of the diverse theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches that define Economic Geography. The book highlights how economies constitute and are constituted by their geographical contexts. The five chapters will cover the internal complexities and contradictions of the field, its fluid boundaries, and its diverse contexts. Methodologically, it addresses critical challenges, such as the bias towards national-level analysis that neglects regional and local nuances, and the tendency to oversimplify diverse groups, treating them as uniform entities and ignoring internal complexities. The book also underscores the importance of considering inherent power dynamics between the researcher and their 'subjects'. These critical reflections collectively underscore the importance of economic-geographical research for explaining how economies function.Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Geography, Business, Economics, Sociology, and Politics, Economic Geography: The Basics equips students with the spatial analytical tools to explore a wide range of economic activities and their broader societal implications, including but not limited to markets, state interventions, industrialisation processes, the organisation of labour, and the dynamics of social reproduction.

Economic Geography: The Basics

How can human flourishing arise from what the poet Mary Oliver called 'good work/ongoing'? In its attentiveness to the material, form and purpose of distinct, well-made things, craft epitomizes good work. In its disciplined, quiet giving over to the repetitions of tradition, craft is ongoing. Perhaps more than any other practice, craft work reveals the intimacy between a manifest sense of self and the imperative of its common expression. In a world broken into shuttered units, each separated from the other for the purpose of measured comparison and control, Robin Holt argues that craft work can produce the unassigned remainder that refuses being broken up: it generates its own sufficiency and joy.

As cities evolve at unprecedented speed and scale, traditional digital twins—virtual models of physical urban systems—fall short in capturing the dynamic and complex nature of urban life. This book bridges the gap between digital urban representations and the dynamic processes that shape our cities.Moving beyond conventional data and technological infrastructure, this work formulates a comprehensive framework for embedding urban dynamics and complexity into digital twins. It reimagines them as living systems that adapt, learn and evolve in real time, near real time and over the long horizon. Through integrated feedback loops between data, physical infrastructure, high-dimensional models and reduced-order approximations, digital twins are transformed into powerful tools for the modeling, simulation, prediction and proactive management of urban development.This book presents cutting-edge methods to learn, simplify and encode urban dynamics and complexity into digital twins—whether or not the underlying mechanisms are fully understood. It also addresses critical challenges such as scalability, uncertainty propagation, network sensing and data quality, and demonstrates how dynamic digital twins can be continually refined through new information and emerging insights.At the intersection of urban theory, artificial intelligence, machine learning and big spatiotemporal data, this book charts a new course for the modeling and governance of cities. It is a vital resource for researchers, practitioners and decision-makers across disciplines—inviting collaboration between academia, industry, government and professionals working on the frontlines of our ever-changing urban environments.Explore a bold vision for cities that can think, adapt and respond—one where digital twins become not just mirrors, but engines of transformation.

The smart city is not merely a set of digital infrastructures, but a complex ecosystem in which technological networks, human capital, and urban communities intertwine. This volume explores the smart city as a relational space, a place where innovation, creativity, and resilience redefine urban development.Through a critical analysis of international models and European policies, the book highlights the opportunities and challenges associated with big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, while questioning the boundaries between efficiency, inclusion, and citizenship rights. The text also draws on theoretical perspectives that capture the enduring appeal of the city as a laboratory of creativity, coexistence, and imagination. What emerges is a new paradigm of a generative and resilient smart city: one that can attract talent and diversity, transform fragilities into resources, and build new forms of environmental sustainability and social cohesion. The book combines solid theoretical and critical foundations with practical methodologies and real-world case studies that support planners in designing smart cities. Readers will gain an understanding of the key features of smart cities, the evolution of related concepts and design methodologies, as well as the tools required to define new types of services and functions.Offering a European and humanistic perspective on the urban future, the book is intended for a diverse readership including scholars, public administrators, planners, and citizens interested in understanding the challenges and opportunities of the city to come.

This book analyses laws distinctively normative contribution to place-making. In an original, cross-disciplinary, analysis drawing on scholarship in law, geography, philosophy and politics, Antonia Layard considers how law operates in the fixing of borders that both protect and exclude. Centred upon four legal case studies - on public space; housing regulation; rules on the manifestation of religion; and geographic indications in intellectual property law - the book pursues a critical geographical consideration of how place is integral to ideas about identity, belonging and territory.

Law, Place &amp; Maps: Balancing Protection and Exclusion analyse law’s distinctively normative contribution to place-making. In an original, cross-disciplinary, analysis drawing on scholarship in law, geography, philosophy and politics, Antonia Layard considers how, both formally and formally, law operates in the fixing of borders that both protect and exclude. Centred upon four legal case studies – on public space; housing regulation; rules on the manifestation of religion; and geographic indications in intellectual property law – the book pursues a critical geographical consideration of how place is integral to ideas about identity, belonging and territory. It will be of much interest to critical legal geographers and socio-legal scholars, as well as planning, environmental, intellectual property, housing and land use lawyers.

A Human History of Thirst

The Search for Water

Routledge Studies in Transport Analysis

Port cities of the world are critical nodes for international trade and socio-economic development. Yet they bear several costs, of which congestion and pollution, which affect the local environment and population. In certain places, living near the port -together with related industrial and logistical activities -is synonym of adverse health outcomes, resulting in several diseases and above-average unplanned hospital admissions and mortality. Decades of port-city physical separation have not eliminated such issues, since deep-water facilities, even outside urban cores, impact local populations and reach port and non-port cities through extensive trucking flows. Specific traffic, like cruise, keep operating within dense urban environments.This book is one of the first dedicated volumes on such matters, with contributions from scholars in several continents (Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania). It is highly interdisciplinary, covering geography, history, economics, management sciences, regional science, sociology, public and comparative law, physics, energy and industrial engineering, urban and spatial planning, epidemiology, architecture, biology, and environmental sciences. This volume offers an overview of current environmental and health issues in port cities. It starts by presenting the mitigation and perception of port pollution. Next, it examines the health impacts of ports in a historical perspective and reviews and synthesizes the variety of existing approaches to measure the health impacts of ports and shipping. Finally, it proposes a reflection on a multi-level governance and policies.This book is a comprehensive resource for a wide readership, including academics and upper-level students interested in maritime transport, port management and sustainability, as well as those in public management, planning and governance.

Leadership in Global Health outlines the essential leadership principles that transform promising health interventions into global movements, offering a timely and compelling blueprint for leaders seeking to drive lasting, scalable change.Grounded in decades of lessons from global health successes and failures, and illustrated through deeply analyzed, real-world case studies, the book reveals what happens when leadership meets coordinated action. These stories - from the eradication of smallpox and the large-scale delivery of malaria bed nets to the community-based innovations of Ethiopia's Health Extension Program and the lightning-fast COVID-19 vaccine rollout - show how leadership in global health is not one-size-fits-all, but rather dynamic, responsive, and deeply human. In an era where complex health challenges range from emerging pandemics to enduring inequities, the book centers the role of leadership-strategic, adaptive, and collaborative-as the critical engine for scaling health interventions, offering readers not only compelling narratives from the field, but also practical tools and reflections which give the book a forward-looking focus.Building to offer a roadmap for developing the next generation of global health leaders equipped to thrive in multi-sectoral, rapidly evolving environments, it will be essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners across Global Health, Public Health, Leadership and Development Studies.
