This vivid book is an inquiry into the stagnation between the development of architectural practice and the progress in urban modernization. It is about islands as territories of resistance. It is about dense places where multitudes dwell in perennial contestations with the city on every front. It is about the histories, tactics and spaces of everyday survival within the hegemonic sway of global capital and unstoppable development. It is preoccupied with making visible the culture of resistance and architecture's entanglement with it. It is about urban resilience. It is about Hong Kong, where uncertainty is status quo.This interdisciplinary volume explores real and invented places and identities that are created in tandem with Hong Kong's urban development. Mapping contested spaces in the territory, it visualizes the energies and tenacity of the people as manifest in their daily life, social and professional networks and the urban spaces in which they inhabit. Embodying the multifaceted nature of the Asian metropolis, the book utilizes a combination of archival materials, public data sources, field observations and documentation, analytical drawings, models, and maps.Related Link(s)

In Eunice de Souza and Melanie Silgardo’s carefully curated selection, each poem illumines exquisitely the tradition of Indian poetry.
This book is fiction, a story about finding that we are important parts and members of the universe; our existence is not transient but infinite, and we are not worthless but precious. Through the love stories and characters' philosophical and psychological dialogues, the book also discusses human subconsciousness's duplicity — the constructive and destructive nature. Nietzsche described this duplicity as Dionysian and Apollonian in his Birth of Tragedy. Our destructive emotion, the dark side of human beings, is not a sin but a constant effort to find light in the darkness within us. It is an impetus for finding our renewal self, creative power, within us, since creation is a progression from destruction — just like nature repeats the destruction and birth process in the fall and spring.
In Europe's last primeval forest, at Poland's easternmost border with Belarus, the deep past of ancient oaks, woodland bison, and thousands of species of insects and fungi collides with authoritarian and communist histories. Foresters, biologists, environmentalists, and locals project the ancient Białowieża Forest as a series of competing icons in struggles over memory, land, and economy, which are also struggles about whether to log or preserve the woodland; whether and how to celebrate the mixed ethnic Polish/Belarusian peasant past; and whether to align this eastern outpost with ultraright Polish political parties, neighboring Belarus, or the European Union. Eunice Blavascunas provides an intimate ethnographic account, gathered in more than 20 years of research, to untangle complex forest conflicts between protection and use. She looks at which pasts are celebrated, which fester, and which are altered in the tumultuous decades following the collapse of communism. Foresters, Borders, and Bark Beetles is a timely and fascinating work of cultural analysis and storytelling that textures its ethnographic reading of people with the agency of the forest itself and its bark beetle outbreaks, which threaten to alter the very composition of the forest in the age of the Anthropocene.
Herein are 28 myths and legends of El Dorado, the fabled City of Gold. They stretch from the Inca of Peru to the coming of the Columbus, to the Aztecs of Mexico and on north to the Native Americans of Southwest USA to the, then, “New” El Dorado – the 19th C. gold rushes of North America - the Forty-Niners strike at Sutter’s Mill, California and the Klondike rush of Alaska on the Yukon river. The 28 myths in this volume, not only cover an expansive geographic area, they also cover over 1,600 years of elapsed time. They are accompanied by 28 exquisite drop capitals and 31 pen and ink drawings which help give an already fascinating subject more vitality. In this volume you will find golden myths and legends like: The Happy Island, Zamna, The Eye Of The Sun, Votan, The People's Heart, Manco-Capac, The Powerful One, The Wrathy Chieftain, Quetzalcoatl, The Plumed Serpent, Cholula, The Sacred City, El Dorado, The Golden, Bimini, The Fountain Of Youth, Montezuma And The Paba, The Mountain Of Gold, The Land Of Gold, The New El Dorado, and many more. After an exhaustive study of the subject, Prof. A. F. Bandelier (August 6, 1840 – March 18, 1914 - the Hemenway Archaeological Expedition and later the American Museum of Natural History) whose research was used in this book, wrote in the early 1900’s “As to where these myths originated, or how old they are, I have nothing to suggest, since in presenting these simple variants, it is sufficient for my purpose to know that they exist. To me they lend a dignity to our country (the USA) by investing it with a misty past, replete with a mythology as rich and sublime as that of any of the races of antiquity. Not only will the study of them inspire patriotism and make us better acquainted with the inner lives of the Native Americans, but it will tend to create an interest in our sister republics which cannot fail to be of lasting practical benefit. We know much more of Europeans than we do of the peoples of this continent.” 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ============================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Legends of El Dorado, Fabled, City of Gold, riches, myths and legends, Happy Island, Zamna, Eye of the Sun, Votan, Peoples Heart, Lord, Sacred Tunkel, Stars Ball, National Book, Manco-Capac, Powerful One, Bochica, Zipa, Song of Hiawatha, Michabo, Great White Hare, Birth of Corn, Wrathy Chieftain, Quetzalcoatl, Plumed Serpent, Cholula, Sacred City, Tulla, Hiding Nook, Snake, Serpent god, Departure, Golden Hearted, El Dorado the Golden, Bimini, Fountain of Youth, Montezuma, Paba, Child of the Sun, Gilded Man, White Sea, Manoas, Mountain of Gold, Amazon Queens, Seven Cities, Cibola, Kingdom of Quivera, Land of Gold, New El Dorado, USA, Leaving the Happy Island, Xavier Martinez, Each Stitch Must Be Counted, Weaver, Amadee Joullin, Ball Player, Who Art Thou, Who are you, Alexander Para, Old-Fashioned Almanac, Calendar Stone, Behold, First Word, Hieroglyph Maker, A Joullin, Tapir, Suspension Bridge, The People Shouted, Haille, Sun Worshippers, E.
