"Well before the innovation of maps, gazetteers served as the main geographic referencing system for hundreds of years. Consisting of a specialized index of place names, gazetteers traditionally linked descriptive elements with topographic features and coordinates. Placing Names is inspired by that tradition of discursive place-making and by contemporary approaches to digital data management that have revived the gazetteer and guided its development...

Esta obra recupera y muestra la vigencia del cuestionamiento que en su momento hicieron Foucault y Lefebvre acerca de cómo el despotismo de los proyectos políticos y urbanísticos sobre las ciudades se ve desobedecido o ignorado por heterotopías, por súbitas desjerarquizaciones del territorio, entradas en crisis del tiempo, por las que penetran o se despiertan energías oscuras, pero a veces esperanzadoras. Durante estos últimos años, la ocupación...

This radical and experimental book advances a new approach to understanding spectacle, one that helps us better understand how consumer culture paved the way for the post-truth politics of Donald Trump. Miller innovatively blends social and political theory, newspaper articles and contemporary commentary on Trump and Trumpism to provide a unique perspective on how capitalism intersects with and enables fascistic forms of power. His analysis contributes...

It is perhaps the eighth wonder of our world that despite modern mapping and satellite photography our planet continues to surprise us. Hidden lairs beneath layers of rock, forgotten cities rising out of deserted lands and even mankind's own feats of engineering eccentricity lie in the most unusual of destinations.Travis Elborough goes in search of the obscure and bizarre, the beautiful and estranged. Taking in the defiant relics of ancient cities...

A wonderfully quixotic, charming and surprisingly uplifting travelogue which sees Jack Cooke, author of the much-loved The Treeclimbers Guide, drive around the British Isles in a clapped-out forty-year old hearse in search of famous — and not so famous — tombs, graves and burial sites. Along the way, he launches a daredevil trespass into Highgate Cemetery at night, stumbles across the remains of the Welsh Druid who popularised cremation and has...

Now that the population's welfare is placed at the center, understanding the populations and social dynamics becomes critical. Military commanders and the population's welfare are inextricably intertwined and victory now depends upon the success...

Este trabajo se ocupa de los orígenes, evolución y situación actual de la ordenación del territorio en la Comunidad Valenciana. Se trata de un campo habitualmente no demasiado estudiado entre los juristas pues, en materia de ordenación de usos del suelo, estos suelen fijar más su atención en los aspectos relacionados con la ordenación, gestión y disciplina urbanística. El objeto de este trabajo es doble. Por una parte, se pretende abordar...
