    Robocar and Urban Space Evolution (Paperback)
    Robocar and Urban Space Evolution (Paperback)
    How can we create more human-centered, resilient, and sustainable cities in the tech age? Can we make use of technology and the opportunities presented rather than resisting its fast-paced evolution? What are the biggest and most likely spatial changes that autonomous vehicles will bring in cities? How can this change in mobility contribute to a better urban environment? To what extent do the spatial opportunities created by automated mobility respond to current urban issues and what is the role of urban design and spatial planning in this debate? Autonomous cars -Robocars- will dramatically change urban environments and the practice of urbanism, potentially making cities less dependent on and less dominated by cars. Driverless and mainly guided by digital infrastructure, Robocars can open up new opportunities for urban development. If guided by sustainable development goals, mobility automation can lead to urban we understand as a shared paradigm shift in mobility and urban design. To

    The Return of Ethics and Spirituality in Global Development (Paperback)
    The Return of Ethics and Spirituality in Global Development (Paperback)
    The theory of modernization basically reduces the meaning of development to economic growth often measured by Growth Domestic Product of the country or overall purchase power parity of the nation. This approach ignores the variety of perspectives on development, hence excludes the role of culture, identity, and spirituality as social determinants of good development. More importantly, modernization theory which informs the mainstream view on development ignores the structural causes of underdevelopment, including colonial heritage or the current unbridled capitalism in many societies. Against reductionist views of development, fundamental questions are raised about the theory and programming of development. From what perspective is the conception of development perceived? Who should decide and depict development goals? What kind of development could result in desirable changes? Is it morally desirable to dictate an exclusively Western understanding of development to others? Is there

    Primal Human 2.1 (Hardback)
    Primal Human 2.1 (Hardback)
    Even though we've never been better off, obesity, depression, stress, and addictions to screen time and unhealthy food are rampant. Why is this happening? Primal Human 2.1 shows that we weren't made for our modern way of life. Our amazing ancient genes are struggling with all these everyday temptations and this is making us feel miserable. Stress, our age-old reaction to danger, is now one of the biggest killers on Earth because we're always 'on'. Our longing for rewards in the shape of 'likes' on social media are blocking genuine contact. But there is hope: by rediscovering our inner cave-dweller and giving it a more prominent place in our lives. Primal Human 2.1 is a plea to get closer to our nature and let progress work for us rather than against us. Mikkel Hofstee (1969) with his company, Lifeguard, has supported tens of thousands of people towards leading healthier and happier lives. He's married with three children. Includes an interview with Dr. Jane Goodall, Ph.D, D.B.E.

    And it was not good anymore (Paperback)
    And it was not good anymore (Paperback)
    The ecofeminist theologies of Sallie McFague and Catherine Keller are seemingly opposed to the dialectical theology of Kornelis Heiko Miskotte. In this study, their theologies are brought into a staged discussion to address the question of how we might think about the relationship between God and the more-than-human nature of our times. An ecofeminist theology that acknowledges God's alterity in the intimacy of the flesh, offers a prophetic way to relate to the endangerment of life on Earth. McFAGUE and KELLER propose an image of God that is bodily and immanently interconnected with the more-than-human nature. Such an image of God, which implies thinking beyond human centrism, is significant in our context of ecological crisis. Like his theological friend Karl Barth, MISKOTTE rejected natural theology, but he is also known for his intense love of 'nature' and unwavering valuation of earthly life. Although he thought of God as entirely different, Miskotte believed that God is also

    The power is You (Paperback)
    The power is You (Paperback)
    Raised in a humble family in the rural area of Pakistan, at a very early age, Noorzia Afridi already knew that she wanted to champion for women's empowerment, knowing that women are the pillars of families in many societies, whilst also not being visible and silenced. Noorzia Afridi's life reads like an odyssey. It is a life full of hardships, successes, failures, obstacles, and achievements. Born and raised in a region governed by the Taliban, where women have no rights whatsoever, her life is a journey of empowerment, endurance, and determination to follow her dreams. Against all odds, she took control over her own life and did not shy away from confronting strict and rigid rules and expectations, which were meant to inhibit her from doing what she believes in, and sees as the purpose of her life. She is an acclaimed and recognized human rights defender and activist who, at great personal loss, has fought for her rights and those of other women to participate in society and have the

    Reisverhaal Notes from the Cevennes | Adam Thorpe
    Reisverhaal Notes from the Cevennes | Adam Thorpe
    A charming memoir exploring the history, landscape and people of rural France, told through the eyes of a Parisian-born Englishman, writer and poet. Adam Thorpe's home for the past 25 years has been an old house in the Cévennes, a wild range of mountains in southern France. Prior to this, in an ancient millhouse in the oxbow of a Cévenol river, he wrote the novel that would become the Booker Prize-nominated Ulverton, now a Vintage Classic. In more recent writing Thorpe has explored the Cévennes, drawing on the legends, history and above all the people of this part of France for his inspiration. In his charming journal, Notes from the Cévennes, Thorpe takes up these themes, writing about his surroundings, the village and his house at the heart of it, as well as the contrasts of city life in nearby Nîmes. In particular he is interested in how the past leaves impressions--marks--on our landscape and on us. What do we find in the grass, earth and stone beneath our feet and in the objects…

    Productomschrijving

    Our understanding of human evolution is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over the last years due to spectacular fossil finds, reconstructions based on genome comparison, ancient DNA sequencing and new insights into developmental genetics. This book takes an integrative approach in which the development of the human embryo, the evolutionary history of our body, the structure of human populations, their dispersal over the world and their cultures are examined by integrating paleoanthropology, developmental biology, comparative zoology, population genetics and phylogenetic reconstruction. The authors discuss questions like: - What do we know about ancient humans? - What happens in the development of an embryo? - How did we manage to walk upright and why did we lose our hair? - What is the relationship between language, migration and evolution? - How does our body respond to the challenges of modern society? In addition to being a core text for the study of the life sciences, 'Human
