Advancing Sustainability at the Sub-National Level The Potential and Limitations of Planning

Advancing Sustainability at the Sub-National Level The Potential and Limitations of Planning

Sustainability notions have been widely embraced by planners. However the question of what can planners contribute to the advancement of such notions has not received much attention until now. This volume examines the potential contribution of planning to the advancement of sustainability at sub-national level and the limitations it faces in doing so. Bringing together case studies from the US UK Poland Israel South Africa The Netherlands and Italy it covers a wide range of issues and contexts ranging from the metropolitan to the community level. On the basis of these case studies the book shows that planners do indeed have a variety of options to advance sustainability notions at these levels and appear to be doing so. The book proposes that planners should operate at two levels: firstly to change institutional structures and secondly to advance sustainability notions incrementally in the meantime within the existing institutional constraints. | Advancing Sustainability at the Sub-National Level The Potential and Limitations of Planning

A Glimpse at the Travelogues of Baghdad

A Glimpse at the Travelogues of Baghdad

The history of Baghdad in the 18th and 19th centuries had predominantly been written by two groups. The first group is Baghdadi scholars and the second group is travellers. These two resources complement each other; while the literature of Baghdadi scholars provides insights from inside travelogues provide observations from outside. By implementing this interlocking method of investigation we can reach a comprehensive understanding of the history of Baghdad. Having investigated some sources from inside in my previous book; Baghdad: an urban history through the lens of literature the focus of this book is on travel literature. The history of travelogues throughout different periods of Baghdad’s history is highlighted with a particular focus on 18th and 19th century travelogues. This period was a critical epoch of change not just in Baghdad but across the world. Nevertheless this book does not intend to provide a documentary of the travellers who visited Baghdad. It is rather an analytical study of the colonial literature in relation to the historiography of Baghdad. | A Glimpse at the Travelogues of Baghdad

Peace War and Mental Health Couples Therapists Look at the Dynamics

Peace War and Mental Health Couples Therapists Look at the Dynamics

Discover how issues of world war and peace relate to the dynamics of couples therapy in this thought-provoking book. In Peace War and Mental Health couples therapists provide diverse views on the links between strengthening marriages and preventing and solving international disputes. Although the contributors vary in their approaches to this issue a common theme is the belief that couples as well as countries need to build bridges not walls for healthy relationships and they need to strive to learn what others are really feeling thinking or needing underneath the defenses others exhibit. The contributing therapists in Peace War and Mental Health explore the various links between couples in conflict and nations at war. Chapters describe how prevention strategies used for couples in therapy may be applied to the well-being of the world as a whole and how significant change is possible through the involvement of only a small percentage of the population. Other chapters focus on specific tools for couples therapy such as outlines of the major tasks of relationship building and traps that mitigate against good relationship construction a description of the nuts and bolts of conflict resolution and the use of flashcards to help both members of the pair present his or her real feelings to the other. Some of the intriguing topics covered in this book include: the relationship between psychotherapy and spirituality and the paradox of individuals longing to belong since each is a part of the whole the role of gender on war and its potential impact on peace the failure of the humanistic movement societal attitudes linking domestic violence and large scale violence how the potential for resolution of differences in couples can be applied to peace among nations how prevention may be expanded to include the “mental health” of the whole world-Part V of an interview with Virginia SatirPeace War and Mental Health helps therapists look at international peace and couples therapy with new perspectives a necessity in today’s rapidly changing family and world climate. | Peace War and Mental Health Couples Therapists Look at the Dynamics

Tourism at the Olympic Games Visiting the World

Tourism at the Olympic Games Visiting the World

Going far beyond being just a mega sport event the Olympic Games are and have been in the past important settings for tourism and cultural change. Hosting the Olympic Games presents a unique opportunity for countries to promote regenerate and develop cities and regions and to firmly locate them within an increasingly competitive global tourism marketplace. From Athens to Rio de Janeiro Olympic landmark buildings ‘districts’ and ‘parks’ have permanently transformed cities and regions and gained tremendous material and symbolic value as tourist attractions. On another level the Olympic Games produce a kaleidoscopic range of intangible and quasi-religious engagements with place and spectacle. They have a tremendous impact on the image of the host country while invoking collective memories and touching on emotions such as suspense compassion togetherness and pride. Tourism has also become a major watchword in ongoing debates on the ‘legacy’ of the Olympic Games and it deeply penetrates discourses on social justice and cultural change on a local national and global scale.
