In this second edition of essays David Harvey searches for adequate conceptualizations of space and of uneven geographical development that will help to understand the new historical geography of global capitalism. The theory of uneven geographical development needs further examination: The extreme volatility in contemporary political economic fortunes across and between spaces of the world economy cries out for better historical-geographical analysis and theoretical interpretation. The political necessity is just as urgent since social inequalities have increased in recent decades. Fiscal crises have cascaded across much of the developing world with devastating results from Mexico to Indonesia, Russia and Argentina. Simultaneously, the different oppositional movements to neoliberalism create both opportunities and barriers in the search for alternatives. Harvey shows that this search needs to be supported by a deeper theoretical understanding of the roles of space and uneven geographical development in shaping the world around us.

Cartography is one of the oldest forms of media. With cartography and media, meaning, ideology, and power are habitually arbitrated across and through space and time. Media has an underlying mapping impulse a proclivity to comprehend itself and be rendered comprehensible through metaphors of topologies, networks, and flows that lead to the constant evacuation of spaces in order to produce places of communication. Both media and cartography are never static, but instead, are ongoing scopic and discursive regimes that continually make and remake how we understand and interact with our world. Developments in mobile computing have not only increased the pace, flow, and interaction of media across space, but also the ubiquity, and thus the taken-for-grantedness, of mapping. Owing to the practices of the neogeographers of the Geoweb, media requires geographical situatedness in which and for which media can take place. Medias Mapping Impulse is an interdisciplinary collection that explores the relationship between cartography, geospatial technologies, and locative media on the one hand, and new and traditional media forms such as social media, mobile apps, and film on the other.

Living with floods addresses flooding as a globally prevalent phenomenon that people deal with in different and contested ways. As empirical examples from the Mexican river Usumacinta show, local perspectives of floods can be highly ambivalent, wherein floods are described as both positive and negative dynamics. Different evaluations of floods by different actors imply different prevention, mitigation and response measures. In this study, the management of flood risks is understood as part of a complex network of social practices. Drawing on theories of social practices, especially on conceptual approaches by Theodore Schatzki, this study develops a practice theory view on flood risk management. In a social science oriented tradition of geographical risk research, flood risks are discussed as the result of social constructions and decisions. Dominant risk concepts and precautionary measures are questioned and new conceptual and methodological approaches are developed on the basis of extensive empirical field work in Chiapas. This study offers insight into "living with floods", its socio-cultural characteristics as well as its political relevance.

As a result of current urbanization dynamics the cultural heritage of Indian cities is under enormous pressure and threatened by decay. At the same time it makes a central contribution to social and societal identity of these cities and has a major influence both economically and aesthetically on the competitiveness of cities in international and national contexts.The responsibility for safeguarding urban cultural heritage, however, does not lie with public authorities only, but is embedded in the complex structures of public and private, individual and collective stakeholders acting at different levels with their respective interests.This study shows that social and professional discourses on urban cultural heritage and its protection highly influence conservation efforts. To overcome the sectoral perspective that dominates the existing research on urban cultural heritage in the Indian context, it draws on an analytical governance approach. This approach makes it possible to identify three governance orders and thus to make visible the interconnections between imagination, regulation and implementation.

Termed Hollywood South, New Orleans is the site of a burgeoning cultural economy of film and television production. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, this production plays an important role in the citys rebuilding. Down in Treme: Race, Place, and New Orleans on Television takes the HBO series Treme, filmed on-location in New Orleans, as a case study for exploring relationships between television production and raced and classed geographies in the rebuilding of post-Katrina New Orleans. Treme demonstrates how city efforts to attract film and television production collide with the television industrys desire to create new forms of connection for increasingly distracted audiences through the production of "authentic" connections to place. Down in Treme explores what is at stake in these collisions for local culture and struggles over the right to neighborhood and city space. By putting post-broadcast television studies, critical race theory, and urban studies into conversation, Down in Treme provides a poignant case study that enjoins scholars to go beyond the text to consider how media industries and production practices intervene into the contemporary media city.

Until recently, knowledge of Georgia was limited in Western Europe, as this now independent country had been part of the Soviet Union until 1991. Georgia is well known for its hospitality, wine and cuisine, and also for the mountain peaks of the Caucasus which reach above 5000 meters. Otherwise few people know that there are different languages and ethnic groups in Georgia, that a separate Georgian alphabet exists and that Georgia has a fascinating history of more than 2000 years. The National Atlas presents detailed information with maps and accompanying text for the visitor as well as for scientists and business travellers. The National Atlas of Georgia, published for the first time in English by the Institute of Geography of Tbilisi State University as a strongly revised, updated and completed edition, offers the most current geographic information on Georgia today. The thematic maps are created using the latest digital techniques, detailing the physical environment, climate, economy, population, and historical milestones of the country. Maps, tables and texts are updated with the latest information from the following statistical sources: the National Statistics Office of Georgia, the Agency of Protected Areas and the Georgian National Tourism Administration. The accomplishment of this National Atlas of Georgia is the result of an intense cooperation between Tbilisi State University and Justus-Liebig-University Giessen and was supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.Please note the ebook contains a large amount of data.

The Greater Pearl River Delta (China) is one of the worlds mega-city regions. Its electronics industry is an important driver for economic growth and prosperity in China with firms that are highly flexible and quickly adapting to changing markets.The objective of this volume is to understand how informal modes of governance in customer and producer relations contribute to a flexible production network. It investigates whether informal interactions make up for constantly changing formal regulations in China or smooth business operations as an innovative mean to manage a firms network.The findings show that firms in the Greater Pearl River Delta organise their network by using a combination of formal and informal means in recruiting, contracting and enforcing processes. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complex business model in China and its implications for organisational novelty as such.

Diversidade em diferentes escalas, eis o escopo da obra Geografia e Poder: desafios para a leitura do território. Passando pela análise dos equívocos da leitura convencional dos processos migratórios; pela analise da gesto e do reordenamento do territorio como resultado de relaçes de interesses, pela analise das territorialidades politicas e identidades plurais, os membros do Grupo de Pesquisa Redes de Poder, Migraçes e Dinamicas Territoriais Gepes, em fases academicas distintas (iniciaço cientifica ate pos-doutorado), apresentam instigantes textos que contribuem para a analise do espaço geografico. Ainda do ponto de vista da contribuiço e de forma sui generis, a partir dos vieses da analise das redes de poder, das migraçes e das dinamicas territoriais, as abordagens presentes no livro trazem uma diferenciada leitura do territorio a partir das analogias entre Geografia e Poder.

Neste livro, a autora discute as diferenças geográficas entre a Reserva Indígena de Dourados e os acampamentos-tekoha, territórios onde vivem os povos guarani e kaiowá, no município de Dourados/Mato Grosso do Sul. Segundo a autora, as diferenças geograficas no surgem apenas pelas feiçes materiais do espaço geografico, mas, sobretudo, pelas diferenças sempre complexas presentes nos processos des-reterritorializaço a multiterritorialidade , de construço e destruiço de territorios, nas conexes e desconexes que perpassam as tramas etnico-identitarias, as narrativas, as memorias e as estrategias cotidianas de resistencias que esto sendo construidas pelos Guarani e Kaiowa. Na reserva, as praticas socioespaciais so decorrentes, preponderantemente, do conjunto de açes impostas pelo Estado brasileiro por meio de seus projetos colonialistas, sobretudo a partir das decadas finais do seculo XIX. Os acampamentos-tekoha, no entanto, apresentam a tentativa de reconstruço e afirmaço etnico-identitarias e de descolonizaço das praticas socioespaciais impostas pelo projeto civilizatorio do Estado. O desafio deste livro centrou-se em repensar e imaginar no somente os povos indigenas na sociedade brasileira, mas contribuir para as multiplas formas de imaginar o espaço na Geografia, que neste livro imaginamos a partir das cosmogeografias guarani e kaiowa.
