  In the rapidly urbanizing world of the 21st century, cities have emerged as the defining habitat for human existence—complex ecosystems where built environments, natural systems, social dynamics, and human health are inextricably intertwined. As urban populations continue to expand globally, the relationship between metropolitan environments and human wellbeing has become one of the most critical frontiers in our collective pursuit of sustainable, equitable development. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Environmental Studies, Urban Health, and City Livability—examining how the physical, social, and ecological dimensions of urban spaces fundamentally shape population health outcomes, quality of life, and environmental sustainability. 
  The narrative of urban environmental health transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries; it encompasses the intricate connections between urban design, ecological systems, public health infrastructure, and social determinants that collectively define the healthfulness of city living. By examining the complex interplay between environmental exposures, built environment characteristics, healthcare access, and community resilience, this book illuminates how cities can function either as amplifiers of health inequities or as platforms for promoting wellbeing across diverse populations. Readers will journey through the multidimensional landscapes where urban health manifests—from the microscale of indoor air quality and neighborhood walkability to the macroscale of urban heat islands and metropolitan food systems—while exploring innovative approaches that cities worldwide are adopting to create more livable, healthy, and environmentally sustainable urban futures.

  Making Makers presents a comprehensive history of a seminal work of scholarship which has exerted a persistent attraction for scholars of war and strategy: Makers of Modern Strategy. It reveals the processes by which scholars conceived and devised the book, considering both successful and failed attempts to make and remake the work across the twentieth century, and illuminating its impact and legacy. It explains how and why these volumes took their particular forms, unearths the broader intellectual processes that shaped them, and reflects on the academic parameters of the study of war in the twentieth century. In presenting a complete genesis of the Makers project in the context of intellectual trends and historical contingency, this book reflects on a more complex and nuanced appraisal of the development of scholarship on war. In so doing it also offers contributions to the intellectual biographies of key figures in the history of war in the twentieth century, including Edward Mead Earle and Peter Paret. Making Makers contributes to an intellectual history of military history and contextualizes the place of history and historians in strategic and security studies. It is not only a history of the book, but a history of the networks of scholars involved in its creation, their careers, and lines of patronage, crossing international boundaries, from Europe to the USA, to Asia and Australia.

  This study examines concepts of morality and structures of domestic relationships in Samuel Richardson's novels, situating them in the context of eighteenth-century moral writings and reader reactions. Based on a detailed analysis of Richardson's work, this book maintains that he sought both to uphold hierarchical concepts of individual duty, and to warn of the consequences if such hierarchies were abused. In his final novel, Richardson aimed at a synthesis between social hierarchy and individual liberty, patriarchy and female self-fulfilment. His work, albeit rooted in patriarchal values, paved the way for proto-feminist conceptions of female character.
