      Blue-Green Rehabilitation

      Urban Planning, Leisure and Tourism in River Cities

      by Philip Hayward

      In recent decades there has been a burgeoning interest in the development of blue-green corridors: areas where waterways are complemented by adjoining green spaces and related paths and leisure facilities. Urban planners have increasingly favoured such zones as a means of refreshing inner-city spaces. In many cases, such projects have involved the rehabilitation of former industrial and/or otherwise polluted waterways and adjacent land. These newly configured blue-green spaces have benefitted residents and provided a substantial attraction to tourists through in- and on- the water options (e.g., swimming, kayaking, fishing, cruise boat transit etc.), waterside relaxation and a range of riverbank activities. The establishment of managed green spaces has also seen the return of a variety of native species to such areas and the re-presentation of former waterside industrial features as heritage artefacts has also added value and appeal to such corridors. The anthology comprises nine international case studies that illustrate examples of best practice and/or the problems that can arise from such rehabilitations, such as gentrification (forcing housing prices up and dispersing established communities) and de-industrialisation that leads to reduced livelihood opportunities. Individual studies in the volume analyse the dynamics of neglect and rehabilitation, contrasting stakeholder agendas, destination branding and regional-national orientations. Collectively, the volume comprises an important reference point for future blue-green rehabilitation projects and the conclusion offers an agenda for the development of just and sustainable blue-green initiatives.

      Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage

      by Daniel H Olsen, Maximiliano E Korstanje

      In recent years there has been a growth in both the practice and research of dark tourism; the phenomenon of visiting sites of tragedy or disaster. Expanding on this trend, this book examines dark tourism through the new lens of pilgrimage. It focuses on dark tourism sites as pilgrimage destinations, dark tourists as pilgrims, and pilgrimage as a form of dark tourism. Taking a broad definition of pilgrimage so as to consider aspects of both religious and non-religious travel that might be considered pilgrimage-like, it covers theories and histories of dark tourism and pilgrimage, pilgrimage to dark tourism sites, and experience design. A key resource for researchers and students of heritage, tourism and pilgrimage, this book will also be of great interest to those studying anthropology, religious studies and related social science subjects.

      The British working class in postwar film

      by Philip Gillett

      An incidental pleasure of watching a film is what it tells us about the society in which it is made. Using a sociological model, The British working class in postwar film looks at how working-class people were portrayed in British feature films in the decade after the Second World War. Though some of the films examined are well known, others have been forgotten and deserve reassessment. Original statistical data is used to assess the popularity of the films with audiences. With its interdisciplinary approach and the avoidance of jargon, this book seeks to broaden the approach to film studies. Students of media and cultural studies are introduced to the skills of other disciplines, while sociologists and historians are encouraged to consider the value of film evidence in their own fields. This work should appeal to all readers interested in social history and in how cinema and society works.

      Jean-Jacques Beineix

      by Philip Powrie

      This volume is the first to examine, in either French or English, the films of Jean-Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films, such as Diva and Betty Blue (37º 2 le matin) .. After an introduction which places Beineix in the context of the 1980s and the arguments centering on a postmodern cinema, the volume devotes a chapter to each of Beineix's feature films, including the film which marked his return to feature film making after a break of a decade, Mortel Transfert (2001). Prefaced by an excellent foreword by the director himself, which includes a broad condemnation of French critics. Includes many illustrations direct from the director's own collection, complementing the interviews Powrie made with him and his collaborators.

      Ein Zwiegespräch. Aus dem brasilianischen Portugiesisch von Sarita Brandt

      by Clarice Lispector, Sarita Brandt

      Clarice Lispector wurde 1925 in der Ukraine als Tochter jüdischer Eltern geboren, die bald nach Brasilien emigrierten. Sie wuchs in Recife, im armen Nordosten des Landes auf, zog aber später nach Rio de Janeiro, wo sie Schule und Jurastudium absolvierte. 1944 veröffentlichte sie -19jährig - ihren ersten Roman Perto do Coração Selvagem (dt. Nahe dem wilden Herzen) und löste eine kleine Sensation aus, da sie sich in ihrem Schreiben von der vorherrschenden literarischen Tendenz des "regionalismo" abwandte, der es sich zum Ziel gemacht hatte, die soziale Realität des Landes so genau als möglich festzuhalten. Clarice Lispector eröffnete, geprägt sowohl vom Existenzialismus als auch von Virginia Woolf, eine in Brasilien vollkommen neue literarische Strömung - von der Kritik hoch gelobt -, die radikal subjektiv auf die Erforschung innerer Wirklichkeit abzielt. Im selben Jahr heiratete sie einen brasilianischen Diplomaten, mit dem sie 1945-49 in Italien und der Schweiz und 1952-59 in den USA lebte. Nach der Scheidung ließ sie sich mit ihren zwei Söhnen in Rio nieder und war als Journalistin und Übersetzerin tätig. In ihren weiteren Romanen, wie A Cidade Sitiada (dt. Von Traum zu Traum) und auch A paixão segundo G.H (dt. Die Passion nach G.H.), erforscht sie mit immer ausgefeilteren erzähltechnischen und stilistischen Mitteln das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Realität und seelischer Erfahrung. Auch ihre Erzählungen, veröffentlicht in insgesamt drei Bänden, kreisen immer wieder um die bestürzende Realität, die hinter der Fassade des Familienalltags lauert. In ihrem letzten zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichten Kurzroman, A Hora de Estrela (dt. Die Sternstunde), setzt sie sich mit dem Verhältnis von Wirklichkeit und Fiktion im schöpferischen Prozeß auseinander und kritisiert schriftstellerische Allmachtsphantasien - ihr poetologisches Vermächtnis. Clarice Lispector starb 1977 in Rio de Janeiro. Clarice Lispector, "grande dame" der dichterischen Prosa in Brasilien. Neue Zürcher Zeitung

      Infinitely Close to Nature

      by Vo Trong Nghia

      The first book of Vo Trong Ngnia, “the architect who has changed Vietnam” commented by BBC and CNN. He is a hot candidate for Pritzker Architecture Prize, winner of over 15 international prizes including International Architecture Award and ARCASIA award, recognized worldwide on bamboo architecture and green architecture. “Sometimes we just ask the question: how many green areas, how many big trees, can we give back to our earth when we design the building?” ——Vo Trong Nghia Infinitely close to nature is the first book by Vo Trong Nghia, leading architect in bamboo architecture and green architecture, winner of more than 15 international awards including International Architecture Award, ARCASIA award, FuturArc Green leadership Award, etc. Through Vo’ s writings, interviews and cases, Infinitely Close to Nature records his classic practice in bamboo architecture, green architecture and low-cost houses. Vo believes that architecture should connect people with nature, instead of separating them off. He infuses highly “invasive” plants into the architecture space, creates “inner” space that is open or semi-open to nature, and builds green architecture with sustainable and local materials. By developing unique processing methods, he turns bamboo into “the steel of 21st century” and uses them to build strikingly grand bamboo architecture. In addition to commercial projects, Vo also pays attention to the residential condition of the low- er-income, designing low-cost houses which are inexpensive and easy to install, with their design also highly praised. The New York Times commented that he has brought Japanese simplicity to Southeastern Asia, CNN said he changed the skyline of Asia. With more than 60 high-res color pictures, Infinitely close to nature fully demonstrates the interior and exterior structure, details, inspirations and the aesthetical source of Vo’ s works.

      Slavoj Žižek im Porträt

      by Susan Chales de Beaulieu, Jean-Baptiste Farkas, Susan Chales de Beaulieu, Jean-Baptiste Farkas

      In einem Artikel, in dem sich Autoren der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung mit Philosophen-Videos auf Youtube befaßten, hieß es, dort könne »man Denker in Aktion sehen und beobachten, wie die Körpersprache, von der in den Texten keine Spur zu finden ist, das Wort übernimmt«. Wenn es einen Gegenwartsphilosophen gibt, bei dem Körpersprache und Denkstil tatsächlich zur Deckung zu kommen scheinen, so ist das Slavoj Žižek, der philosophische »Sprengmeister« aus Ljubljana. Diesen »nervösen Intellektuellen« (die tageszeitung) haben Susan Chales de Beaulieu und Jean-Baptiste Farkas in ihrem, von arte koproduzierten Filmporträt buchstäblich festgehalten. Sie lassen Žižek nicht nur Kernelemente seiner Theorie erläutern, sie entlocken ihm auch aufschlußreiche Erklärungen zu seinem quecksilbrigen Schreibstil und läden ihn zu einer über Monitore hergestellten Begegnung mit seinen langjährigen Weggefährten Alain Badiou und Jacques Rancière. Als Extras sind weitere Interviews mit Žižek, Restaurantgespräche sowie diverse Auszüge einer seiner legendären Vorträge zu sehen.

      Lines Written with the Green Pen

      Lines Written with the Green Pen

      by Mei Zihan, Ma Xiaode

      Lines Written with the Green Pen is a poem for children written by the famous children's literature writer Mei Zihan. It is about a boy trying to write poems with his green pen. At first, he doubts whether he can write poems. Then he takes a walk and starts creating his own lines—he says hello to the sky; he wonders about the leaves, birds’ chirping, the gone clouds, the old lady and the yellow dress… He, the “little ant poet”, writes, “Those who are dreaming are awake. Hence, the night and the day meet on the pillow.” In the end, he drops down his green pen and decides to fly and be the child as he is.

      Algal Biotechnology

      by Qiang Wang

      Algae are sunlight-driven cell factories, and can efficiently absorb CO2 and convert light energy to chemical energy such as lipid, starch and other carbohydrates and release O2. Algal feedstock is a promising resource for bioproduct production, given its high photosynthetic efficiency for producing biomass compared to conventional crops. Microalgae can be used for flue-gas and wastewater bioremediation. This book highlights recent breakthroughs in the multidisciplinary areas of algal biotechnology and the chapters feature recent developments from cyanobacteria to eukaryotic algae, from theoretical biology to applied biology. It also includes the latest advancements in algal-based synthetic biology, including metabolic engineering, artificial biological system construction and green chemicals production. With contributions by leading authorities in algal biotechnology research, it is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in the field, and those involved in the study of photosynthesis and green-cell factories.
