Originally published in 1987, Regenerating the Inner City looks at the changes to Glasgow's East End and how industrial closures and slum clearance projects have caused people to leave. This is reflected across the western world, and causes severe blows to cities where these industries are located. The book draws on Glasgow's Eastern Area Renewal Scheme, the first big urban renewal project in Britain. The contributors to the volume come from a range of disciplines and form practical conclusions for policy-makers, and community activists. The book uses door-to-door surveys in Glasgow's east end, and interviews with community groups to gain an authentic understanding of the issue.

This book looks back over the last forty years of change and development in Ecuador, showing how macro level changes have impacted families and workplaces on the local level. Traditionally a dependent economy reliant on agricultural exports, the impact of neoliberalism and new sources of income from oil have transformed the informal and artisanal sectors in Ecuador. Exploring these dynamics using a combination of micro and macro analyses, this book demonstrates how the social relations of the sector are connected to the wider social, economic and political systems in which they operate. The book dives into the links between micro-production and the wider economy, including the relationships between different types of artisanal enterprises and their customers, their connections to the private sector and the state, the importance of social networks and social capital and the relevance of finance capital in microenterprise development. Overall, the analysis investigates how artisans, entrepreneurs and family-based enterprises seek to protect their interests when faced with neoliberal policies and the impacts of globalisation. This remarkable longitudinal study will be of considerable interest to researchers of development studies, economics, sociology, anthropology, geography and Latin American Studies.

From Roots to Rogers, Tim Hortons to Cirque du Soleil, "Ikonica" is a witty, thoughtful tour of the prime movers, triumphs, and flops of Canada's complex "brandscape." The first book to explore the country's rich and unique brand heritage as well as emerging trends, "Ikonica" draws on authors Jeannette Hanna's and Alan Middleton's years of experience as brand strategists. They profile global players like Four Seasons Hotels, domestic upstarts like WestJet, and everything in between. The book includes interviews with major business and cultural figures such as Paul House (Tim Hortons), Robert Milton (Air Canada), Fred Schaeffer (McCain), and William Thorsell (Royal Ontario Museum). The authors also offer a provocative analysis of what it takes for Canadian brands to "punch above their weight" in the economic minefield that is today's global marketplace. Pop packaging and 150 vibrant illustrations make "Ikonica" as appealing to students of culture as to businesspeople, marketers, and corporate history buffs.
