Free Download Ali Cheshmehzangi, "Urban Memory in City Transitions: The Significance of Place in Mind"
English | ISBN: 9811610029 | 2021 | 328 pages | PDF | 33 MB
As a continuation of 'Identity of Cities and City of Identities', this book covers the arguments around the memory-experience-cognition nexus concerning palimpsests and urban places. As cities experience transitional phases of growth, development, decline, and decay, the author urges considering the notion of urban memory in place-making strategies and design decision-making processes. These explorations would add value to primary fields of architecture, architectural history, cognitive science, human geography, and urbanism.

Free Download Yannan Ding, "Urban Informal Settlements: Chengzhongcun and Chinese Urbanism"
English | ISBN: 9811692017 | 2022 | 167 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book offers a concise and yet diverse study on the Chengzhongcun. It has a broader scope, both geographical and temporal, than existing works on this topic. The typical Chinese urban informal settlement is related to morphologically similar communities to be found elsewhere in the world. The chapters' themes were inspired by the methods in historical geography, citizenship studies, and new cultural geography. What is truly unique to this book is that ten years after the basis material of this book was defended, it is enriched with practical experience and first-hand observations of the rapidly changing Chinese city. As urbanization in China slows, this book will interest sociologists, urbanists and scholars of China.

English | 2012 | ASIN: B008US3006 | EPUB | pages: 128 | 1.3 mb
We are all expected to behave 'like professionals' while at work; to know how to conduct ourselves in every situation. But what exactly is professional behaviour? And should we always rely on Western manners and etiquette, even while interacting with diffrent cultures? People's ideas of what professionalism means are based on their personal values, their culture and their past experiences. So it is nor surprising that we all have a slightly different view of what constitutes professional behaviour. Elsabé Manning's Up the Corporate Ladder: Professionalism in the Workplace dispels the confusion, guiding us through all business interactions, from how to conduct ourselves professionally while meeting with people from other cultures, to often overlooked rules of e-etiquette.

Free Download Lekha N.B., "Unveiling the Gender Paradox: Dynamics of Power, Sexuality and Property in Kerala"
English | ISBN: 3031096983 | 2022 | 173 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Both nationally and internationally, the south Indian state of Kerala has been an object of study for its matrilineal kinship organization among some communities, as well as its achievements in education, literacy, and life expectancy for women against a weak economic base. Nonetheless, scholars have drawn attention to a paradox in Kerala's model of development, namely women's deteriorating social position in Kerala and the rise in violence against women. Against this backdrop, this book explores the intersections of gender, sexuality, marriage, family and kinship as related to the matrilineal Nayar community in Kerala. Chapters unravel the interplay between the triple categories of gender, power and social development as they play out at the micro, meso, and macro levels of society, probing the ways in which Nayar women practice agency. Ultimately, the authors explore how the strength of the Nayar community can be used as a case study toward circumventing the prevailing gender paradox and re-imagine a more liberated, empowered and self-reliant woman not only in Kerala, but in India at large.
