salty urbanism jeffrey huber

Salty Urbanism is a concept that refers to the ways in which cities and urban areas will respond and adapt to rising sea levels and the accompanying increase in salinity of coastal and near-coastal land. This phenomenon is caused by a combination of factors, including global warming, sea-level rise, and human development along coastlines. Salty Urbanism can have a significant impact on urban infrastructure, such as roads, buildings, and water supply systems. As saltwater infiltrates freshwater sources, it can damage pipes and other infrastructure, leading to costly repairs and maintenance. In response to Salty Urbanism, urban designers are exploring new strategies to adapt and mitigate the effects of rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion. These strategies include elevating buildings and infrastructure, implementing green infrastructure to absorb excess water, and developing coastal ecosystems to act as buffers against storm surges and flooding. Overall, Salty Urbanism highlights the urgent need for cities and urban areas to adapt and prepare for the ongoing and future impacts of climate change.

COMPARATIVE URBANISM ‘Comparative Urbanism fully transforms the scope and purpose of urban studies today, distilling innovative conceptual and methodological tools. The theoretical and empirical scope is astounding, enlightening, emboldening. Robinson peels away conceptual labels that have anointed some cities as paradigmatic and left others as mere copies. She recalibrates overly used theoretical perspectives, resurrects forgotten ones long in need of a dusting off, and brings to the fore those often marginalised. Robinson’s approach radically re-distributes who speaks for the urban, and which urban conditions shape our theoretical understandings. With Comparative Urbanism in our hands, we can start the practice of urban studies anywhere and be relevant to any number of elsewheres.’ Jane M. Jacobs, Professor of Urban Studies, Yale-NUS College, Singapore ‘How to think the multiplicity of urban realities at the same time, across different times and rhythmic arrangements; how to move with the emergences and stand-stills, with conceptualisations that do justice to all things gathered under the name of the urban. How to imagine comparatively amongst differences that remain different, individualised outcomes, but yet exist in-common. No book has so carefully conducted a specifically urban philosophy on these matters, capable of beginning and ending anywhere.’ AbdouMaliq Simone, Senior Research ...

The climate crisis is not primarily a problem of ‘believing science’ or individual ‘carbon footprints’ – it is a class problem rooted in who owns, controls and profits from material production. As such, it will take a class struggle to solve. In this ground breaking class analysis, Matthew T. Huber argues that the carbon-intensive capitalist class must be confronted for producing climate change. Yet, the narrow and unpopular roots of climate politics in the professional class is not capable of building a movement up to this challenge. For an alternative strategy, he proposes climate politics that appeals to the vast majority of society: the working class. Huber evaluates the Green New Deal as a first attempt to channel working class material and ecological interests and advocates building union power in the very energy system we so need to dramatically transform. In the end, as in classical socialist movements of the early 20th Century, winning the climate struggle will need to be internationalist based on a form of planetary working class solidarity.

The extraordinary German bestseller on the final days of the Third ReichOne of the least understood stories of the Third Reich is that of the extraordinary wave of suicides, carried out not just by much of the Nazi leadership, but also by thousands of ordinary Germans, during in the war''s closing period. Some of these were provoked by straightforward terror in the face of advancing Soviet troops or by personal guilt, but many could not be explained in such relatively straightforward terms. Florian Huber''s remarkable book, a bestseller in Germany, confronts this terrible phenomenon. Other countries have suffered defeat, but not responded in the same way. What drove whole families, who in many cases had already withstood years of deprivation, aerial bombing and deaths in battle, to do this? In a brilliantly written, thoughtful and original work, Huber sees the entire project of the Third Reich as a sequence of almost overwhelming emotions and scenes for many Germans. He describes some of the key events which shaped the period from the First World War to the end of the Second, showing how the sheer intensity, allure and ferocity of Hitler''s regime swept along millions. Its sudden end was, for many ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A coming-of-age tale from one of the most successful American producers of our time, Jeffrey Seller, who is the only producer to have mounted two Pulitzer Prize–winning musicals—Hamilton and Rent. Before he was producing the musical hits of our generation, Jeffrey was just a kid coming to terms with his adoption, trying to understand his sexuality, and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit. We see him find his voice through musical theater and move to New York, where he is determined to shed his past and make a name for himself on Broadway. But moving to the big city is never easy—especially not at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis—and Jeffrey learns to survive and thrive in the colorful and cutthroat world of commercial theatre. From his early days as an office assistant, to meeting Jonathan Larson and experiencing the triumph and tragedy of Rent, to working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights and Hamilton, Jeffrey completely pulls back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals, finding new audiences, and winning a Tony Award—all the while finding himself.

Mike Davis chronicles the Dickensian underworld of day labor in New York, tracks the development of new ecologies and levels of development along the border, and examines the shifting realities of life and work for Latinos in US cities. The cosmopolitan result of the Latinization of America’s cities "is a rich, constantly evolving" culture that has the potential, argues Davis, to become a radical new American counterculture.

It has become conventional to think of urbanism and landscape as opposing one another--or to think of landscape as merely providing temporary relief from urban life as shaped by buildings and infrastructure.

As towns and cities worldwide deal with fast-increasing land pressures, while also trying to promote more sustainable, connected communities, the creation of green spaces within urban areas is receiving greater attention than ever before. At the same time, the value of the ‘green belt’ as the most prominent model of green space planning is being widely questioned, and an array of alternative models are being proposed. This book explores one of those alternative models – the ‘green wedge’, showing how this offers a successful model for integrating urban development and nature in existing and new towns and cities around the world. Green wedges, considered here as ducts of green space running from the countryside into the centre of a city or town, are not only making a comeback in urban planning, but they have a deeper history in the twentieth century than many expect – a history that provides valuable insight and lessons in the employment of networked green spaces in city design and regional planning today. Part history, and part contemporary argument, this book first examines the emergence and global diffusion of the green wedge in town planning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, placing it in ...

Zdravovědný spis O zachování dobrého zdraví (De conservanda valetudine) z roku 1576 je dílem severoněmeckého šlechtice, politika, humanisty a mecenáše Heinricha Rantzaua (Rantzovia, 1526-1598), autora řady děl a muže s hlubokým zájmem o vědy, jenž se přátelil s významnými učenci své doby, mj. s dánským astronomem Tychonem Brahe. Svou záhy proslavenou, opakovaně vydávanou a překládanou zdravovědu sepsal původně pro své syny jako prakticky zaměřený návod, v němž kladl důraz na vlastní zkušenost.

České vydání spisu z roku 1587 je dílem lékaře a profesora pražské Karlovy univerzity Adama Hubera z Riesenpachu (1545-1616), překladatele, jenž o necelé desetiletí později připravil také nový, rozšířený překlad slavného Mattioliho herbáře, vybavený mnohojazyčnými rejstříky.

Po zhroucení třetí říše existovalo poslední místo, které slibovalo bezpečí: rodina. Platila za jedinou hodnotu, která bez větší úhony přetrvala nacismus. Jedno ovšem nedokázala ani rodina – odstranit protiklady, které byly charakteristické pro německou poválečnou společnost. Jejími největšími hypotékami se stalo mlčení a vytěsňování. To byla živná půda pro pověstná rodinná tajemství po roce 1945, s jejichž jedem zápasí ještě i generace vnuků. A tak se z velkých očekávání nezřídka stávala velká zklamání, která se projevují dodnes. Florian Huber rozvíjí rodinné drama poválečné doby jako v románu, z pohledu účastníků. Jsou mezi nimi váleční navrátilci žijící dvojím životem; mladá matka se zaplétá do svých tajemství, školák odhaluje lži dospělých, dívka se odváží ke vzpouře proti svému otci vojákovi. V těchto osudech, které vyprávějí o druhé straně počestné společnosti v době obnovy, cítíme hloubku i propasti epochy. Jsou to dojemné příběhy, jakých se v Německu odehrály miliony.

Between 2015 and 2017, German artist Max Neuman, known for painting anonymous figures, drew a series of heads. Each head is a moment, each facing the viewer as if looking into a crowd, each distinguishable from the other. Who are they? May we call them portraits? Do they look back? Do they resemble spirits? Some Heads reproduces these haunting drawings along with an essay by cultural theorist and curator Hubertus von Amelunxen that questions the heads and faces while dwelling upon the effacement of individuality.

Kottlerovým cílem je, aby si terapeut-čtenář ujasnil, co se mu na vlastní práci lidí a nelíbí, v souvislosti s tím si stanovil cíle na zlepšení a vytvořil plán změny, takže jeho vlastní práce bude efektivnější a zároveň jej bude více uspokojovat.
