The Long Land War

The Global Struggle for Occupancy Rights

By: Jo Guldi

A definitive history of ideas about land redistribution, allied political movements, and their varied consequences around the world “An epic work of breathtaking scope and moral power, The Long Land War offers the definitive account of the rise and fall of land rights around the world over the last 150 years.” —Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City Jo Guldi tells the story of a global struggle to bring food, water, and shelter to all. Land is shown to be a central motor of politics in the twentieth century: the basis of movements for giving reparations to formerly colonized people, protests to limit the rent paid by urban tenants, intellectual battles among development analysts, and the capture of land by squatters taking matters into their own hands. The book describes the results of state-engineered “land reform” policies beginning in Ireland in 1881 until U.S.-led interests and the World Bank effectively killed them off in 1974. The Long Land War provides a definitive narrative of land redistribution alongside an unflinching critique of its failures, set against the background of the rise and fall of nationalism, communism, internationalism, information technology, and free-market economics. In considering how we could make the earth livable for all, she works out the important relationship between property ownership and justice on a changing planet.

Mariel

By: Jo Ann Ferguson

In the shadows of a remote English estate, a Victorian-era young noblewoman is drawn into a passionate affair as she becomes the target of someone waiting to exact long-awaited revenge in the final volume of Jo Ann Ferguson’s enthralling Foxbridge Legacy series Her heart breaking, twenty-six-year-old Lady Mariel Wythe stands before the ruins of her beloved ancestral mansion. Perched near the sea cliffs of northwestern England, Foxbridge Cloister has always been her home—a place of carefree times, but also of memories of sudden terror in the night. And now the dark curse that hovers over the legendary estate and all its inhabitants is about to come full circle. The fire that destroyed most of the Wythe estate was no accident. And the danger is far from over. The town’s new pastor, Reverend Ian Beckwith-Carter, is determined to uncover the secrets that keep proud, fiercely independent Mariel from ever planning to marry. He may be too late. The seeds of a final retribution were set in motion decades before. As Ian fights to protect Mariel from the violent madness of her past, someone else is plotting to make her the last lady of Foxbridge Cloister. Mariel is the 3rd book in the Foxbridge Legacy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Roads to Power

Britain Invents the Infrastructure State

By: Jo Guldi

Roads to Power tells the story of how Britain built the first nation connected by infrastructure, how a libertarian revolution destroyed a national economy, and how technology caused strangers to stop speaking. In early eighteenth-century Britain, nothing but dirt track ran between most towns. By 1848 the primitive roads were transformed into a network of highways connecting every village and island in the nation—and also dividing them in unforeseen ways. The highway network led to contests for control over everything from road management to market access. Peripheries like the Highlands demanded that centralized government pay for roads they could not afford, while English counties wanted to be spared the cost of underwriting roads to Scotland. The new network also transformed social relationships. Although travelers moved along the same routes, they occupied increasingly isolated spheres. The roads were the product of a new form of government, the infrastructure state, marked by the unprecedented control bureaucrats wielded over decisions relating to everyday life. Does information really work to unite strangers? Do markets unite nations and peoples in common interests? There are lessons here for all who would end poverty or design their markets around the principle of participation. Guldi draws direct connections between traditional infrastructure and the contemporary collapse of the American Rust Belt, the decline of American infrastructure, the digital divide, and net neutrality. In the modern world, infrastructure is our principal tool for forging new communities, but it cannot outlast the control of governance by visionaries.

Designing Spaces with Children

A Guide for Architects and Educators

By: Rosie Parnell,Maa orn

Architects and designers have been endlessly fascinated and inspired by working with children and young people. The relationship between the designer and child is potentially a rich source of learning and development for both, leading to new thinking about the design of our built environments. This book will help practitioners and students to get the most out of their interactions with children in the design process. The book brings together the theory and practice of engaging children and young people with architecture and the built environment. Structured around a series of roles that a child/young person might play in the architectural design and build process, it helps readers gain a broad understanding of the principles underlying the field, but within a supportive framework for its application. Roles are as follows: Advocates for Change Creative Inspirers Researchers (Co) Designers Trailblazers Builders Clients Placemakers Expert Consultants Written specifically with a design audience in mind, it provides a range of inspiring examples of educational and participatory design projects from the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Poland, Germany, France and Turkey. The book finishes with a 'how to' guide - for those who want to design their own participatory/educational design process. This will include diagrams and will cross-reference to the examples in previous chapters. However, the guide is specific without being prescriptive. It categorises stages and phases of involvement as well as the roles of participants, allowing readers to critically deliberate which approaches will be appropriate in which contexts. Beautifully illustrated and in full colour, this book will be essential to anyone involved in engaging children in built environment design and education projects - from architects and students of architecture to teachers, youth workers and professional facilitators.

Advancing Health and Wellbeing in the Changing Urban Environment

Implementing a Systems Approach

This book addresses up-to-date urban health issues from a systems perspective and provides an appealing integrated urban development strategy based on a 10-year global interdisciplinary research programme created by the International Council for Science (ICSU), and sponsored by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and the United Nations University (UNU). The unique feature of this book is its “systems approach” to urban health and wellbeing: solution-oriented for science and society and not purely theoretical, it can be applied in the context of decision-making, and has the potential to unlock cities’ unused potential by promoting health and wellbeing. Furthermore, the inter- and transdisciplinary urban issues addressed in this book are examined from a cross-sectoral perspective – e.g. the transport sector is addressed in connection with air pollution, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and the loss of productivity. The interconnected thinking to urban health and wellbeing makes the book a particularly valuable resource. Decision makers in city administrations and civil society organizations from different geographical regions will find the book an informative and inspiring guide for delivering towards the goals of the New Urban Agenda, for which health can be the vital indicator of progress. Graduate students and researchers will be attracted by the case studies, systems methods and models provided in the book.
