We live in a time where environmental pressures, social inequities and political derision are the backdrop of everyday life, and where resilience has become a routine prescription for coping with the conditions of modern existence. Drawing an analogy to Harvey Molotch's urban growth machine, this book explores different narratives of resilience and their policy and practice manifestations for cities, citizens and communities. It expands on the metaphor of the machine to show how resilience can be better understood as an assemblage. Bringing together authors from multiple disciplines and different parts of the world, the book unmasks the often invisible effects of resilience strategies by examining ways in which neoliberal mentalities are fed through the rhetoric of resilience practices, policies and development projects. The contributing essays provide provocative accounts of several areas of inquiry, including biopolitics and smart bodies, resilient cities and communities, urban planning and disaster management, justice and vulnerability, and resistance to resilience. Holding out hope for critical potentials in 'resilience, ' The Resilience Machine proposes to move beyond mechanisms of adaptation and into imagining what resilient life could look like in a more just, equitable and democratic world. The Resilience Machine is a current, vital addition to resilience, community and urban scholarship.
By exploring the ways in which the concept of resilience is institutionalized within policies and practices that impact the lived experience of individuals, the book addresses how the regressive potentials of resilience might be resisted and reshaped and how its progressive potentials might be drawn upon in pursuit of justice and democracy.
This book offers a cutting-edge overview of mobility, mobility justice and social justice, with contributions from a broad range of leading scholars. Mobility justice is understood as a way to frame the entanglements of power and social exclusion in the mobilities of humans, things, and ideas, as well as to differential and unequal access to movement, and the ability to move. The introductory chapters firmly ground the concept of mobility justice and social justice, with the proceeding chapters covering a range of topics from race, sexuality, ferry justice and aeromobility justice, animal mobilities, design, and food mobilities.
SAR remote sensing for ocean and coast monitoring has become a very popular area of geoscience and remote sensing research in recent years. This book is focused on ocean dynamical studies of sea surface phenomena, air-sea interactions, anthropogenic object detection and radar imaging mechanisms.
Palaeoclimatology is the study of past climates and climate change, and uses a variety of methods to obtain data preserved within rocks, sediments, ice, tree rings, and shells and other matter. Studies of past changes in the environment and biodiversity can reflect on the current state of the environment, the impacts of climate on mass extinctions, adaptations, migrations, etc. This book focuses on the Holocene Epoch (approximately 11,700 years ago to the present day), and shows how climate changes can be reliably correlated with archaeological evidence. It will examine the impact of climate changes on humans and civilization through case studies from various places, periods, and climates.
