Book Synopsis Urban Labyrinths by : Pablo Meninato
Download or read book Urban Labyrinths written by Pablo Meninato and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Labyrinths: Informal Settlements, Architecture, and Social Change in Latin America examines intervention initiatives in informal settlements in Latin American cities as social, spatial, architectural, and cultural processes. From the mid-20th century to the present, Latin America and other regions in the Global South have experienced a remarkable demographic trend, with millions of people moving from rural areas to cities in search of work, healthcare, and education. Without other options, these migrants have created self-built settlements mostly located on the periphery of large metropolitan areas. While the initial reaction of governments was to eliminate these communities, since the 1990s, several Latin American cities began to advance new urban intervention approaches for improving quality of life. This book examines informal settlement interventions in five Latin American cities: Rio de Janeiro, Medellín, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Tijuana. It explores the Favela-Bairro Program in Rio de Janeiro during the 1990s which sought to improve living conditions and infrastructure in favelas. It investigates projects propelled by Social Urbanism in Medellín at the beginning of the 2000s, aimed at revitalizing marginalized areas by creating a public transportation network, constructing civic buildings, and creating public spaces. Furthermore, the book examines the long-term initiatives led by SEHAB in São Paulo, which simultaneously addresses favela upgrading works, water pollution remediation strategies, and environmental stewardship. It discusses current intervention initiatives being developed in informal settlements in Buenos Aires and Tijuana, exploring the urban design strategies that address complex challenges faced by these communities. Taken together, the Latin American architects, planners, landscape architects, researchers, and stakeholders involved in these projects confirm that urbanism, architecture, and landscape design can produce positive urban and social transformations for the most underprivileged. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and professionals in planning, urbanism, architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, urban geography, public policy, as well as other spatial design disciplines.

Book Synopsis Journalism, Data and Technology in Latin America by : Ramón Salaverría
Download or read book Journalism, Data and Technology in Latin America written by Ramón Salaverría and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Latin American journalism is currently experiencing some important transformations, with potential changes to how news is produced, shared, financed and consumed. This book provides a comprehensive overview of current journalism in Latin America, contextualized by global literature and regional empirical evidence. It is an important addition to our understanding of digital journalism and a must-read for those interested in journalism in Latin America." Dr. Vanessa de Macedo Higgins Joyce, Texas State University, USA This book explores innovative approaches to digital and data journalism in Latin America, brought by both legacy media and newcomers to the industry, with the purpose of examining this changing media landscape. As part of the Global South, Latin America has shown significant influence in the promotion of data and digital technologies applied to journalism in recent years. In this region, news entrepreneurs are becoming an essential source of innovation in news production, circulation, and distribution. The book considers news media, particularly in Latin America, as an open set of practices intertwined in the evolution of technology. It discusses the transformation of the Latin American news media ecosystem and considers how it has shaped the industry despite local differences. The study fills a significant gap in academic scholarship by addressing the multiple external factors, mainly political and economic, which have contributed to the relative lack of studies on the patterns of journalism in this region. Ramón Salaverría is Associate Dean of Research at the School of Communication, University of Navarra, Spain, where he heads the Digital News Media Research Group. Author of over 200 scholarly publications, his research focuses on digital journalism and media convergence, both in national and international comparative studies. Mathias-Felipe de-Lima-Santos is a researcher at the University of Navarra, Spain, under the JOLT project, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020. Previously, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. He researches changing journalistic practice with a particular focus on business models, data, and novel technologies.

Book Synopsis Journey to the Republic of Italy by : Kalman Dubov
Download or read book Journey to the Republic of Italy written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy is a wonderful country to explore and experience. Its geography, from the lower peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean to the north and into the heartland of Europe, makes it an ideal setup to travel. Each area of the country has a unique and special identity so the traveler experiences a range of styles that reflects the unification of this special country and people. Visiting Italy is a unique experience for me. Its history, culture, architecture, people, and food combine to provide an extraordinary experience. My review and description of the cities I visited represents months of travel and my examination of the different aspects of each city. As I've done with regard to each city in the world about which I wrote a review, the template I adopted offers a panoramic approach to appreciate its multi-faceted presence. The first section reflects the country’s and each city’s History, followed by Jewish History and Presence, and My Visit. In March 2016, I visited Civitavecchia, a beautiful city overshadowed by Rome, but a short train ride away. I then visited Naples and Pompeii. This visit was while I was aboard the Rotterdam, a beautiful Holland America cruise ship, while on a 91-day voyage from the city of Rotterdam to the Far East. I was aboard the ship as clergy, offering me the wondrous opportunity of meeting incredible people as we voyaged through the international waterways of exotic adventure. I returned to Italy on a personal visit in April 2017. This time, I stayed in Rome, Siena, Verona, Livorno, Florence, Padua, and finally in Vicenza, staying for about a week in each city, leisurely exploring each of these beautiful cities. I hope these descriptions and reviews offer travelers the opportunity to examine these beautiful cities.
Book Synopsis The Relevance of Regions in a Globalized World by : Galia Press-Barnathan
Download or read book The Relevance of Regions in a Globalized World written by Galia Press-Barnathan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a unique open inter-disciplinary dialogue across the Humanities and Social Sciences to further our understanding of the phenomenon of regions and regionalism in a globalized world both at the theoretical and empirical levels. What comprises a region? What are the different regional dynamic processes that take place? What is the relationship between the regional and the global? What role does identity building play? Bringing together scholars from various disciplines within and across the Social Sciences and the Humanities to reflect on these questions, the book explores how regions are imagined, constructed, understood, and explained in different academic disciplines. Each chapter addresses these common questions and uses its own disciplinary lenses to answer them. In addition, the volume offers interesting reflections on the academic borders constructed in the study of regions, thus demonstrating the importance of obtaining insights from both social scientists and humanities scholars in order to better understand the relevance of regions in a complex and globalized world. An important work for scholars and postgraduate students in many fields, including political science, international relations, sociology, economics, geography, history and literature, as well as for those interested in regionalism and area studies.
Book Synopsis Journey to the Kingdom of Thailand by : Kalman Dubov
Download or read book Journey to the Kingdom of Thailand written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reflects my time in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in the north of the country. This Far Eastern country, known worldwide for its flavorful cuisine and challenging sauces, is a country steeped in tradition. The north was previously the Lan Na Kingdom, with Chiang Mai as its capital. The ancient city walls and surrounding moat are still visible, as are many of the ancient Wat, Buddhist places of worship. The Thai practice of Theravada Buddhism, with other ancient traditions are celebrations practiced throughout the year and these practices are present in the country. I spent a month in the north, exploring the sites and speaking with a wide variety of people to gain a greater appreciation for the people, its language, Asian and Thai customs and traditions, as well as its food. Chiang Mai also has a unique Jewish presence, with many visitors. I review these fascinating aspects of the city and area. I also visited the Golden Triangle, the highest point of Thailand, where the borders with Myanmar, Laos and Thailand meet. I also briefly visited Donesao Island, Laos, crossing the Mekong River in the process.
Book Synopsis Cruising the World’s Oceans by : Kalman Dubov
Download or read book Cruising the World’s Oceans written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My 14 days aboard the Noordam, a Holland America ship, was an exceptional voyaging experience. My invitation to join the voyage was at the invitation of the cruise line, whose request was because they wanted a Rabbi aboard the vessel. I soon learned that a large Jewish community was aboard. Families with young children were aboard because this was the winter holiday season. Older persons were aboard because they enjoyed cruising and the end-of-year opportunity afforded them the ability to be on the high seas during the holiday season. It was also the Jewish holiday of Chanukah, a time of rededication by kindling the lights and recalling the ancient miracle of the lights in the Jerusalem Temple. Of nearly 1,900 passengers, about 65 were Jewish and we enjoyed a wonderful cruise opportunity in the summer warmth of the South Pacific. The cruise began in Sydney Australia, cruising through the South Pacific to New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Fiji. We visited ports at Nouméa, New Caledonia; Port Vila, Mystery Island and Luganville, Vanuatu. We then visited Fijian ports at Suva, Lautoka, and Dravuni Island. A high point of my time aboard this ship was meeting Gedaliah Oshlaske, a holocaust survivor. His incredible story of survival during World War Two is told here for the first time. Although he was asked by many people, including Steven Spielberg, to relate his personal account of that harrowing time, he refused to do so. During this cruise, for the first time, he shared a few of the details of his survival. I was both privileged and honored that he chose me to share the story. The story, however, is in its barest outline. What he shared was but in outline form, with much of the story yet to be shared. I hope the rest of the story will be shared so it may become part of the ongoing saga of this man's legacy of survival when the world was shrouded in much darkness. The time was engulfed in what Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, described as the kingdom of fire. I humbly offer this survivor's story to the reader fully aware that so much of the story is not yet told.
