Sinopse

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.

Only one performance style has dominated the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: "Method acting." The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls "methodness"—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries. 
 
 
 
Imagining the Method traces the primordial conditions under which the Method was conceived. It explores John Garfield's tenuous relationship with methodness due to his identity. It considers the links between John Wayne's reliance on "anti-Method" stardom and Marlon Brando and James Dean's ascribed embodiment of Method features. It dissects contemporary emphases on transformation and considers the implications of methodness in the encoding of AI performers. Altogether, Justin Rawlins offers a revisionist history of the Method that shines a light on the cultural politics of methodness and the still-dominant assumptions about race, gender, and screen actors and acting that inform how we talk about performance and performers.
