Beschreibung

City Expansions explores the complex phenomenon of urban growth and pathways to sustainable urban development. It examines global urbanization trends, revealing how cities are expanding and the driving forces behind this expansion, such as population growth and economic development. The book uniquely emphasizes that city expansion isn't an uncontrollable force, but a process that can be guided towards sustainability through informed policy and community engagement.

 
The analysis progresses from a historical overview to the challenges of urban sprawl, including environmental degradation and social inequality. It highlights strategies such as transit-oriented development and green infrastructure, supported by diverse evidence, including statistical data and case studies.

 
A key insight is the interconnectedness of urban, social, and environmental systems, advocating for holistic approaches in city planning and urban design. The book, intended for a broad audience from students to policymakers, adopts an accessible tone to present complex information. Case studies from diverse urban contexts illustrate both successful and unsuccessful development projects.

 
City Expansions offers a comprehensive understanding of urbanization, equipping readers with knowledge to shape more livable and resilient urban environments.

    Illicit digital activity is a substantial and growing problem. Extremists' use of social media over the past decade or so has raised increasing concern among governments and media corporations alike. In Digital Grooming Nuria Lorenzo-Dus analyzes manipulation practices in digital spaces that are situated at, or beyond, the boundaries of law. Lorenzo-Dus identifies and examines in detail the online discourse of adults luring children for sexual abuse and exploitation (digital sexual grooming); extreme ideology groups aligning others to their views (digital ideological grooming); and drug dealers soliciting business in crypto markets (digital commercial grooming). With sophisticated style and stance analyses of large and varied datasets, the book reveals that digital sexual, ideological, and commercial grooming practices have much in common. Three stances—expertise, openness, and avidity—scaffold this manipulative work, which constructs groomers and their targets as sharing a homogenous identity. 
     
     
     
    By shedding new light on grooming practices, this book provides a key resource for discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, communication, and media studies, as well as for practitioners aiming to counter online grooming through policy changes, detection software, and prevention-focused training to promote digital civility and safety.

    The advanced capitalist democracies of the 21st century are the richest, freest, healthiest, best educated, and best governed societies in history. Why then does it seem like everything is falling apart? Economic stagnation is spreading, class divisions are deepening, birth rates are collapsing, mental health problems are on the rise, faith in democracy is in decline, and pessimism about the future abounds. 
    In The Permanent Problem, Brink Lindsey argues that these gathering difficulties reflect the stresses and strains of a great and uncompleted historical transition—from mass material prosperity to mass human flourishing. Capitalism's immense productive powers have raised our expectations of what life can be, but for most of us reality is coming up short. What's more, the arrival of mass prosperity has pushed both economic and cultural change in directions that make the transition to mass flourishing much harder to achieve. 
    A much brighter future is possible, and Lindsey charts an intriguing path to get there. There is no need to concoct a radical new social system. Instead, capitalism needs to be refocused on its core mission of extending the technological frontier, and rebalanced through the revitalization of face-to-face communities. Weaving together insights from history, economics, sociology, and philosophy, The Permanent Problem offers a synoptic overview of our fateful present moment and a provocative glimpse at what may lie ahead.
