Reshaping Toronto's Waterfront

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Desfor, Gene / Laidley, Jennefer, PUBLISHER: University of Toronto Press, Large-scale development is once again putting Toronto's waterfront at the leading edge of change. As in other cities around the world, policymakers, planners, and developers are envisioning the waterfront as a space of promise and a prime location for massive investments. Currently, the waterfront is being marketed as a crucial territorial wedge for economic ascendancy in globally competitive urban areas. Reshaping Toronto's Waterfront analyses how and why 'problem spaces' on the waterfront have become 'opportunity spaces' during the past hundred and fifty years. Contributors with diverse areas of expertise illuminate processes of development and provide fresh analyses of the intermingling of nature and society as they appear in both physical forms and institutional arrangements, which define and produce change. Reshaping Toronto's Waterfront is a fundamental resource for understanding the waterfront as a dynamic space that is neither fully tamed nor wholly uncontrolled.

Shutting Out the Sun: How Japan Created Its Own Lost

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zielenziger, Michael, PUBLISHER: Vintage Books USA, The world's second-wealthiest country, Japan once seemed poised to overtake America as the leading global economic powerhouse. But the country failed to recover from the staggering economic collapse of the early s. Today it confronts an array of disturbing social trends, notably a population of more than one million "hikikomori": the young men who shut themselves in their rooms, withdrawing from society. There is also a growing numbers of "parasite singles": single women who refuse to leave home, marry, or bear children. In this trenchant investigation, Michael Zielenziger argues that Japan's tradition-steeped society, its aversion to change, and its distrust of individuality are stifling economic revival, political reform, and social evolution. "Shutting Out the Sun" is a bold explanation of Japan's stagnation and its implications for the rest of the world.

300 Pounds of Attitude: The Wildest Stories and Craziest

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rand, Jonathan, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, Pro football always has been filled with loose cannons, rebels, and trash talkers. Some players are more likeable than others, and some might even be certifiably crazy... yet what perfectly sane athlete signs up to get belted around by 300-pound behemoths for three hours every Sunday? Amusing, entertaining, and often as brutal as the sport itself, 300 Pounds of Attitude chronicles four decades of lore from the gridiron, locker room, and front office. Highlights include how Tim Rossovich once showed up outside his hotel room "on fire"; why Dick Butkus claims his reputation for meanness--which includes biting a referee's finger--was blown way out of proportion; which player was called He Hate Me, and why "He" hated him; and how dumping Gatorade on a winning coach became a postseason tradition.

Ocean liners--majestic passenger ships--once sailed all the world's seas. The busiest route, known as the Atlantic Ferry, crossed the North Atlantic. The liners that sailed there played important roles in times of both peace and war.

The "Titanic," among the most famous of ocean liners, steamed into legend on the night of April , when it collided with an iceberg. Over time, airplanes changed the nature of travel. The last of the great ships turned to offering passengers the pleasures of cruising. Here's the fascinating story of ocean liners--their history, development, and culture--from the first great ocean liner to today's "Freedom of the Seas, "which carries more than four thousand passengers.

The Myths of Technology: Innovation and Inequality

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burnett, Judith / Senker, Peter / Walker, Kathy, PUBLISHER: Lang, Peter, Publishing Inc., This book questions whether technologies are the rational, tangible, scientific, forward-thinking, neutral objects they are so often perceived to be, exploring instead how powerful, mythic ideas about technologies drive our social understanding and our expectations of them. Against a rising tide of information, we encounter significant technological, scientific, and medical advances which promise to create an educated, humane, and equal world. This book explores that promise, deconstructing technologies to conclude that though they do afford us significant and empowering advances, they remain largely cloaked in mystery, and often promise more than they can deliver. Contributors from diverse intellectual backgrounds and political and epistemological stances - spanning sociology and psychosocial investigations, innovation studies, and scientists - combine philosophical inquiry and empirical case studies to create a book which is at once provocative, innovative, and exciting in the challenges it poses.
