Portals of Globalization

Repositioning Mumbai’s Ports and Zones, 1833–2014

By: Megan Maruschke

While ports are traditionally considered national infrastructure sites that connect states to global markets, special economic zones and past free ports are portrayed as threats to national sovereignty. This book calls these narratives into question as it explores the history of planning Mumbai’s ports and free zones during periods of global and regional transition from the British Raj, to national independence, to economic liberalization. The book opens with a study of an unsuccessful plan hatched by merchants in 1833 to make Bombay a free port to deal with an emerging British India and the advent of free trade. The book ends with how India’s current special economic zones and emphasis on port expansion are part of broader goals to reposition India in transregional Asian trade, to connect Mumbai with northern India, and to enact local plans for a global city that threaten the very port that first connected Mumbai to the world. To understand the functionality of these port and zone projects beyond typical policy prescriptions, this book proposes portals of globalization as a spatial format that fosters processes of reterritorialization.

Quicklet on Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love (CliffNotes-like Book Summary)

By: Megan Yarnall

ABOUT THE BOOK It’s rare that one can take a year or so away from family, friends, and work to travel the globe. It’s even more rare that someone can write an eloquent book that documents every minute of that travel, the glamorous moments and the scary moments, and make you feel like you were along for the ride. In Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert does just that, sharing herself with the world just as the world has shared itself with her. Elizabeth – or Liz, by which she goes – has taken millions of readers along on her journey across Italy, India and Indonesia. She delves first into Italian culture and shows readers what it’s like to learn a language by yourself in a foreign country. She writes about the joy of making friends, the pain of staying abstinent, and the delicious decision to eat as much as possible with a comic humor that shows kindness to herself and readers struggling with similar issues: divorce, heartbreak, and loss. Across India and Indonesia, Liz continues showing her readers the possibilities of what can come when we forgive others and treat ourselves with love. MEET THE AUTHOR Megan Yarnall is a publicist and writer from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She studied English, creative writing, and Italian at Dickinson College, and wrote her thesis on the connections between humans, their bodies, and language. She graduated in 2010 after spending four years organizing all of her college’s concerts. Megan has lived abroad in Italy and loves studying foreign language, linguistics, and writing. She’s also spent some time working for an environmental company and writing about all things green. In her spare time she horseback rides, rock climbs, and travels. Megan also likes hiking through Acadia National Park, warm weather, photography, and doing her own DIY projects. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Eat, Pray, Love has been touted as a guide for living well for women across the world. After the book quickly became an international bestseller, Liz was named by Time as one of the most influential people in the world in 2008. Eat Pray Love is especially popular among women, since it follows Liz’s experience as a woman exploring foreign countries and recovering from divorce and heartbreak. Many readers saw themselves in Liz and realized that the problems they were dealing were not singular. The book was published around the time when practices such as yoga and meditation were becoming household words, and Liz’s experience also served to prove their worth and practicality for a calming, healing lifestyle. Readers also got a taste of pure pleasure as Liz traveled the globe. In Italy she was able to soak herself in delicious, rich food and a delicious, rich language. In India, Liz focused on healing herself, with no distractions to interrupt her thoughts. And in Indonesia, Liz enjoyed the beautiful weather, exercise, and a small house to herself.

When We Fell

An Extra Series Prequel Novella

By: Megan Walker,Janci Patterson

You must have noticed how desperately into you I am. I’m not that good an actor. Up and coming actor Blake Pless is nervous about his first starring role in the new rom-com Over It, not in the least because he’s acting opposite former child star Kim Watterson, accomplished actress and Blake’s childhood celebrity crush. It doesn’t help matters when, within ten minutes of meeting him, Kim announces that she’s never, ever going to sleep with him. Ouch. But as Blake and Kim get to know each other, friendship turns to attraction—and it’s not long before their whirlwind romance makes them the latest Hollywood It couple. A-list status comes with its own pressures, and Blake is afraid he’s not worthy of his fame or, more importantly, Kim.--Back cover.
