Knowledge And Global Power is a ground-breaking international study which examines how knowledge is produced, distributed and validated globally.
The former imperial nations – the rich countries of Europe and North America – still have a hegemonic position in the global knowledge economy. Fran Collyer, Raewyn Connell, João Maia and Robert Morrell, using interviews, databases and fieldwork, show how intellectual workers respond in three Southern tier countries, Brazil, South Africa and Australia. The study focuses on new, socially and politically important research fields: HIV/AIDS, climate change and gender studies.
The research demonstrates emphatically that ‘place matters’, shaping research, scholarship and knowledge itself. But it also shows that knowledge workers in the global South have room to move, setting agendas and forming local knowledge.

The best-known novel of Sophie von La Roche, a German 18th-century
woman writer. The plot reflects typical 18th-century concerns: the
value of sentiment and the importance of virtue in attaining a good
life. The publication of this novel reflects a recent revival of
interest in the author.
While the subject of migration has received enormous attention in
academic journals and books across the social sciences,
introductory texts on the matter are few and far between. Even
fewer books have explored migration through a critical and explicit
engagement with spatial concepts. Now in its second edition,
Migration remains the only text in more than a decade that
emphasizes how geographical or spatial concepts can be used
critically to understand migration. The multi-disciplinary text
draws on insights from human geography, political science, social
anthropology, sociology, and to a lesser extent economics. All of
the chapters focus on key terms, theories, concepts, and issues
concerning migration and immigration. The book argues that in the
context of migration, two opposing 'spatial positions' have emerged
in the wake of the critique of 'methodological nationalism'. On one
hand is the significance of 'transnationalism', and on the other,
the importance of 'sub-national' or local processes. Both require
more nuance and integration, while many of the concepts and
theories which have thus far neglected space or have not been
'treated' spatially, need to be re-written with space in mind.
Pedagogically the text combines a carefully defined structure,
accessible language, boxes that explore case studies of
migrant-related experiences in particular places, annotated
suggestions for further reading, useful websites and relevant films
and summary questions for student learning at the end of each
chapter. Migration provides a critical, multi-disciplinary,
advanced, and theoretically informed introduction to migration and
immigration. Revised and updated with new material, new maps and
illustrations and an accompanying website
(https://migration2ndedition.wordpress.com/), it continues to be
aimed at advanced undergraduates and Masters-level graduate
students undertaking courses on migration and immigration.
Design competitions are a core mechanism of the architectural
world. They offer architects unique opportunities to pitch for

definitive book on architecture competitions from over the last
decade, and will be an essential guide to any architect or student
who is considering preparing a submission.* The first in a

winning case studies from many of the major international
competitions of the past decade* It provides essential strategic
material on entering competitions: from which ones to enter to the
way rules for competitions differ internationally and from region
to region* It provides a unique overview of recent trends: in terms
of digital presentation, but also preoccupations with issues such
as sustainability

Rain Later, Good is the award winning story of Peter Collyer's
extraordinary journey around the Shipping Forecast areas. The
Shipping Forecast is a national institution, relied upon by
mariners but also strangely comforting and poetic to landlubbers.
Published in 1998 to great acclaim, Rain Later, Good was chosen by
the RNLI to celebrate their 175th anniversary, and has since sold
over 25,000 copies. Fifteen years later, this gorgeous book will be
available in paperback for the first time, completely revised and
updated, with several new paintings. Peter Collyer's brilliant and
detailed paintings offer a series of images which help conjure up
the most mythical locations, whilst his delightful idiosyncratic
text provides a wealth of fascinating insights. He introduces us to
the people who live and work in these areas, and passes on snippets
of tantalising information to give a powerful impression of the
place and convey a real feeling of being there. The beautiful
paintings from his travels truly capture the spirit of these wild
and isolated spots, and this new edition includes new paintings,
sketches and up to date text. This is a much-loved book celebrating
an iconic broadcast, and its reissue will be welcomed by Peter's
many admirers. 'A very remarkable painter. His work is simply
stunning with an observed intensity which makes him very special
indeed.' Chris Beetles in The Daily Telegraph 'The most delightful
and unexpected book I've encountered this year... a wonderful
book.' John Naughton, The Times 'He is not only a marvellous,
delicate draughtsman and watercolourist...but a drily observant
writer and amateur naturalist.' Libby Purves

Transit migration, comprising mixed flows of refugees and labour,
is widely considered a concern and even security threat. However,
the concept is as vague and blurred as it is politicised. This
volume offers evidence-based, comprehensive coverage of the entire
belt of countries in the neighbourhood of the EU, ranging from
Russia to Morocco. Transit migration is critically analyzed from
the perspective of sending, transit and receiving countries,
offering new insights into refugee and irregular migration flows,
transnational migration networks and overlapping migration systems.
This edited collection focuses on the global growth of
privatisation and private sector medicine in both developed and
lesser developed countries, and the impact of this on patients,
health workers, managers and policy-makers. Drawing upon
sociological theories, concepts and insights, as well as experts
from several countries with extensive experience in researching the
field either nationally or internationally, the collection offers a
unique perspective on healthcare services and healthcare systems: a
view from those trying to access healthcare services, working
inside health systems, or responsible for managing and organising
services. Collectively, the chapters contribute an international
perspective on the navigation of healthcare systems, and addresses
the growing salience of 'choice' between public and private
medicine in a variety of different national systems and contexts.
