Shaping Cities in an Urban Age
An authoritative - and fascinating - investigation into the spatial and social dynamics of cities at a global scale Shaping Cities in an Urban Age is the third addition to Phaidon's hugely successful Urban Age series, published in collaboration with the London School of Economics (LSE) and the Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft (AHG). Generously illustrated with photographs, visual data, and statistics, and featuring a series of essays written by leading people in their fields, Shaping Cities in an Urban Age addresses our most urgent contemporary and future urban issues by examining a set of key forces that have combined to create the city as we know it today. From the publisher of The Endless City and Living in the Endless City.
The Hunters
Captain Cleve Connell has already made a name for himself among pilots when he arrives in Korea during the war there to fly the newly operational F–86 fighters against the Soviet MIGs. His goal, like that of every fighter pilot, is to chalk up enough kills to become an ace. But things do not turn out as expected. Mission after mission proves fruitless, and Connell finds his ability and his stomach for combat questioned by his fellow airmen: the brash wing commander, Imil; Captain Robey, an ace whose record is suspect; and finally, Lieutenant Pell, a cocky young pilot with an uncanny amount of skill and luck. Disappointment and fear gradually erode Connell's faith in himself, and his dream ...
Pujol: todo era mentira (1930-1962)
“Nuestro propósito ha sido desenmascarar a Pujol precisamente en cuanto se refiere a aquella época, la menos conocida de su vida –no le faltan motivos para esconderla, tal como veremos– y que resulta fundamental para hacerse una idea cabal del personaje y poder interpretar su actuación posterior. Es en sus años de infancia y de juventud donde están muchas de las claves para descifrar su existencia. Él mismo afirmó en relación a esta época que «este primer volumen [de sus Memorias] explica cómo se fue creando una personalidad». Es la llave de paso a su pensamiento y acción política, pues, como dijo él mismo, «no se podría entender nada de mi quehacer político y social ...

Debating Democracy's Discontent
In this timely and provocative volume, some of the world's leading political and constitutional theorists come together to debate Michael Sandel's celebrated thesis that the United States is in the the grip of a flawed public philosophy - "procedural liberalism". Beginning with an originalstage-setting introduction by Ronald Beiner, and ending with a reply by Michael Sandel, Sandel's liberal and feminist critics square off with his communitarian and civic republican sympathizers in a lively and wide-ranging discussion spanning constitutional law, culture, and political economy.Practical, topical issues of immigration, gay marriage, federalism, adoption, abortion, corporate speech, militias, and economic disparity are debated alongside theories of civic virtue, citizenship, identity, and community. Not only does this volume provide the most comprehensive and insightfulcritique of Sandel's Democracy's Discontent to date - it also makes a very significant, substantive contribution to contemporary political and legal philosophy in its own right. It will prove essential reading for all those interested in the future of American politics, law, and publicphilosophy.
The Urban Revolution
Originally published in 1970, The Urban Revolution marked Henri Lefebvre’s first sustained critique of urban society, a work in which he pioneered the use of semiotic, structuralist, and poststructuralist methodologies in analyzing the development of the urban environment. Although it is widely considered a foundational book in contemporary thinking about the city, The Urban Revolution has never been translated into English—until now. This first English edition, deftly translated by Robert Bononno, makes available to a broad audience Lefebvre’s sophisticated insights into the urban dimensions of modern life.Lefebvre begins with the premise that the total urbanization of society is an i...

La Ciència en la Història dels Països Catalans (vol. III)
La ciència i la tècnica sempre han ocupat un lloc en la història de tots els pobles, i sempre comprèn una part del que va passant cada dia en una mateixa societat i contribueix, poc o molt, a la seua configuració. Aquest tercer volum de “La ciència en la història dels Països Catalans” descriu el lloc de la ciència i de la tècnica pel que fa als pobles d'aquest àmbit, des de la industrialització fins als nostres dies, i aporta una perspectiva sorprenent, en molts casos inèdita. Últim volum d'una edició extensa i rigorosa que només podia fer-se amb la col•laboració d'un gran nombre d'historiadors de la ciència especialitzats en aquest tema. L'obra ha estat ordenada seguint un disseny comprensible i unitari i serà, de ben segur, un bon referent, tant per als estudiosos com per als simplement interessats en aquest aspecte de la història social dels pobles de llengua catalana.
