Book excerpt: In this innovative work Jean Hillier develops a new theory for students and researchers of spatial planning and governance which is grounded primarily in the work of Gilles Deleuze. The theory recognizes the complex interrelation between place qualities and the multiple space-time relational dynamics of spatial governance. Using empirical examples from England and Australia, Hillier identifies the power of networks and trajectories through which various actors territorialize space and explores the social and political responsibilities of spatial managers and decision-makers. She considers what spatial planning and urban management practices could look like if they were to be developed along Deleuzean lines, and suggests alternative framings for spatial practice: broad trajectories or 'visions' of the longer-term future and shorter-term, location-specific detailed plans and projects with collaboratively determined tangible goals.

Book Synopsis The Cottage: Recondite by : David Cocklin

Download or read book The Cottage: Recondite written by David Cocklin. This book was released on 2016-03-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RECONDITE [rek-uh n-dahyt] Dealing with very profound, difficult, or abstruse subject matter; beyond ordinary knowledge or understanding; esoteric. Weaving together a complex web of intersecting storylines, The Cottage: Recondite is a profound look into the quietly desperate entanglements of faith and falsehood, deliverance and misfortune, and the burning search for identity and meaning during the endless climb through life. Unraveling scattered insights into the uncommon and esoteric world within, where the struggle between curiosity and enlightenment rages amidst the endless battle of opposites, author David Cocklin's broad cast of characters and overlapping stories impact each other in unexpected ways, portraying a timeless microcosm of our own world, where spiritual growth is often stunted by institutions of faith, and enlightenment is forged instead through time, experience, serendipity, and painful twists of fate. Written with a lyrical beauty that is as insightful as it is poetic, The Cottage: Recondite challenges readers with prose that sparkles with a passion for language and life. In a world where people have become increasingly disillusioned with faith-based institutions, David's work eschews easy answers in favor of characters who embrace the ambiguity and the agony of the journey, spirituality rather than religion, with all roads leading eventually to the mysterious cottage that rests at the book's core.

Kolya has deserted his Red Army unit and returns home to bury his brother and reunite with his wife and sons. But he finds the village silent and empty. The men have been massacred in the forest. The women and children have disappeared.In this remote, rural Russian community the folk tales that mothers tell their children by candlelight take on powerful significance, and the terrifying legend of Koschei, The Deathless One, begins to feel very real. Kolya sets out on a journey through dense, haunting forests and across vast plains against the bitter winter, in the desperate hope he will find his wife and two boys—and find them alive. But there are very dark things in Kolya's past. And, as he strives to find his family, there's someone—or something—following his trail . . .

Book Synopsis Understanding Relativity by : Wouter Schmitz

Download or read book Understanding Relativity written by Wouter Schmitz. This book was released on 2022-12-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges the huge gap between popular science and mathematical treatments of Einstein's theories. It explains special and general relativity, gravity, black holes, and gravitational waves, also presenting current ideas about dark matter and dark energy. The explanations are entirely non-mathematical, using many color pictures and clear concepts. In this way, the reader is led to a much deeper understanding than any popular science book can provide. The author has written this book for everyone who wants to go beyond superficial descriptions of relativity's remarkable phenomena, but is not equipped to read the professional literature and complicated math behind the theory. By providing a complete description in terms of concepts and pictures, the book answers many questions about why the theory works as it does. For example, it explains why and how momentum and pressure are related to gravity; why and how mass causes spacetime to curve and how curvature tells objects how to move; it also reveals the origin of the ring seen around the first ever image of a black hole. Not least, the reader will learn in detail how gravitational waves are produced and measured. Since their conception, the theories of relativity have appealed to the public's imagination. Thanks to this book, readers now have the opportunity to convert their fascination with the topic to a deep understanding.
