Bonding with Piedmont

Italy's Undiscovered and Bountiful Region

By: Victor D'Amico

Author Victor D'Amico and his wife, Yvonne, are both of Italian heritage. Although Vic's parents did not maintain ties with their origins, Yvonne's and her parents were very close to relatives and friends from Piedmont, and her intimate knowledge of the language and customs of her parent's birthplace, adds a unique perspective to this exploration of the region's attractions. Share with Vic his personal and rewarding experiences of connecting with the people, the land, the cuisine, and the history of a different culture. He introduces us to a region with rich traditions and natural attributes that are enjoyed by its people. The story of the author's Bonding with Piedmont covers over 50 years and gives a glimpse into a marriage and family as well as a window into people's behavior. You learn about Piedmont's history, its emergence as a leader in Italy's recovery from the war and mentally savor the area's splendid cuisine. When the author's son asks his parents to arrange his wedding near his grandmother's village, the bonding achieves new heights. Bonding with Piedmont shows the author gaining an appreciation of his Italian heritage and reveals his conversion into a proud and knowledgeable proponent of a remarkable part of Italy with which few Americans are aware.

Making Sense of Brexit

Democracy, Europe and Uncertain Futures

By: Victor J. Seidler

After the shock decision to leave the EU in 2016, what can we learn about our divided and increasingly unequal society and the need to listen to each other? This engaging and accessible book addresses the causes and implications of Brexit, exploring this moral anger against political elites and people feeling estranged from a political process and economic system that no longer expressed their will. Seidler argues that we need new political imaginations across class, race, religion, gender and sexuality to engage in issues about the scale and acceleration of urban change and the time people need to adjust to new realities. He suggests we need to listen to people's concerns not only about the impact of immigration and globalisation on their lives but also about the injustice of a capitalist economy that makes them pay through austerity and cuts in social welfare for a financial crisis they were not responsible for. He imagines alternative futures that will allow different generations to still appreciate themselves as Europeans with a future in Europe.

Planning and Urban Change

By: Stephen Victor Ward

Fully revised and thoroughly updated, the Second Edition of Planning and Urban Change provides an accessible yet richly detailed account of British urban planning. Stephen Ward demonstrates how urban planning can be understood through three categories: ideas - urban planning history as the development of theoretical approaches: from radical and utopian beginnings, to the `new right' thinking of the 1980s, and recent interest in green thought and sustainability; policies - urban planning history as an intensely political process, the text explains the complicated relation between planning theory and political practice; and impacts - urban planning history as the divergence of expectation and outcome, each chapter shows how intended impacts have been modified by economic and social forces. This Second Edition features an entirely new chapter on the key policy changes that have occurred under the Major and Blair governments, together with a critical review of current policy trends.
