    Abstract: “This pioneering and penetrating study reveals the socio-spatial characteristics of a remarkable traditional Iranian Kurdish city within its Zagros mountains setting, illuminating aspects of Kurdish urbanism that deserve to be as well understood as those of the Iranian plateau”. - - Stephen Kite, Emeritus Professor, Cardiff University, UK "An astonishingly authentic and intimate, holistic case study of the environmental, social, political and urban development and transformations of the pre-20th century city of Sanandaj, Iran – by a distinguished scholar and planner”. - - Nader Ardalan, Emeritus, Harvard University Graduate School of Design “This book introduces a significant city with a distinctive character and history at the heart of Iran’s Kurdish region. It is a welcome addition to the studies of Kurdish culture and Iranian urbanism, especially from the perspective of urban form and the organization of public and private spaces in the city”. - - Ali Madanipour, Professor, Newcastle University, UK This book will fill an important gap in the knowledge of Middle Eastern cities by reconstructing the historical process of Sanandaj's formation and development until the rise of modernization in Iran. It discusses the nature of Kurdish settlements and the interaction between the social and spatial forces that have conditioned the processes and patterns of city formation and development over time. It identifies distinctive aspects of Kurdish settlements, such as their extroverted connection with the landscape, and the fluent interplay between private and public realms in female experience, providing a foundation for further studies of other Kurdish cities in the region. It will be an excellent resource for students and researchers of urban studies, geography, social science, and Kurdish studies. Hooshmand Alizadeh (PhD in urban design, Newcastle University/UK, 2006), is associate professor at the University of Kurdistan and senior postdoc researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He has more than fifteen years’ teaching and research experience in Urban Studies, particularly regarding aspects of urbanism and public space. His primary scholarly achievement is the development of the concept of the Kurdish city and women’s spatial interactions and empowerment, based on a comparative study in different urban contexts. .

    Abstract: Chapter 1: Feng Shui and the ‘Meaning of Space’ -- Chapter 2: The Case Studies and Research Approach -- Chapter 3: Feng Shui in Mainland China – Guangdong Province -- Chapter 4: Feng Shui in the Chinese territories – Hong Kong -- Chapter 5: Conclusions.
    Abstract: ‘...A vital contribution to the study of Feng Shui in contemporary urban areas, providing a theoretically and empirically rich rendering of the many lives of an ancient practice as it evolves to serve the needs and interests of a variety of players swept up in enormous political and economic changes…The writing is clear, concise, and economical—a joy to read. The book constitutes an important contribution to the literature on Feng Shui in contemporary societies and it introduces findings that are broadly applicable. It will be widely cited for some time to come.’ —Professor Chris Coggins, Bard College at Simon’s Rock/Open Society University Network Feng Shui and the City analyses the past and contemporary influences of traditional geomancy on Chinese built environments across three domains: domestic spaces, spaces of commercial development and the public realm. Using Lefebvre’s notion of absolute and abstract space—spaces of ‘symbolic existence’ and ‘everyday life’ versus spaces of domination and control, it tracks evolving attachment to, and use of, Feng Shui in Guangdong and Hong Kong. The book seeks to understand the changing role of Feng Shui in modern urban development and its regulation, and to question what constitutes authentic Feng Shui today. Manuela Madeddu is Senior Lecturer in Urban Design at the University of Liverpool. She has held previous posts at London South Bank University and the Politecnico di Torino, and practised as an architect and urban designer in Italy and the UK. Her research focuses on cultures of design and regulation. Xiaoqing Zhang is Lecturer in Public Administration at the Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. She graduated from University College London with a PhD in Planning Studies. Her research interests include urban regeneration in relation to welfare regimes, and community governance sitting within a broader understanding of local political resources

    Abstract: This transdisciplinary edited book explores new developments and perspectives on global Vietnam, touching on aspects of history, identity, transnational mobilities, heritage, belonging, civil society, linguistics, education, ethnicity, and worship practices. Derived from the Engaging With Vietnam: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue conference series, this cutting-edge collection presents new scholarship and also represents new ways of knowing global Vietnam. Over the past 10 years, knowledge production about Vietnam has diversified in various ways as globalization, the internationalization of higher education, and the digital revolution have transformed the world, as well as Vietnam. Whereas as late as a decade ago, knowledge about Vietnam was still largely the preserve of scholars in Vietnam and a coterie of related experts outside of the country at a select few universities, today we find scholars working on Vietnam in myriad contexts. This transformation has introduced new voices and new perspectives, which this book champions. A critical text engaging a range of historical and contemporary debates about Vietnam, this book is an indispensable volume for the Southeast Asian Studies student and scholar in the humanities and social sciences

    Keywords: Women scholars-Canada-Social conditions-21st century ; Women scholars Social conditions 21st century ; Women in higher education Social conditions 21st century ; Education, Higher ; Women's studies ; Electronic books
    Abstract: This book offers a new perspective on how Canadian women in the academy are re-conceptualizing and reconsidering their position as professionals. It examines central challenges associated with the lives of women scholars and higher education professionals, including their professional identity, institutional expectations, lessons learned throughout their career experiences in higher education, and navigating between multiple roles. In turn, the book highlights the importance of both formal and informal networks of support. Each contributing author presents authentic examples from her lived experiences as a woman in the academy, situating her personal narrative within previous research in the field. Taken together, the respective chapters equip readers with a deeper understanding of the experiences of women in the academic world. This book is inclusive in nature, showcasing experiences from women who are scholars, students and higher education professionals. The book makes a significant and unique contribution to the field of gender studies, with a focus on women negotiating life in the academic world and within the Canadian context. The evidence and insights shared here will benefit all scholars in women's studies and comparative studies, as well as those considering a career in higher education.
