provides first and second-year undergraduates with a comprehensive
thematic approach to the changing human geography of the UK at the
end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century.
Covering local, regional, national, European and global issues, it
also explores in some detail topics which are part of the lived
experience of undergraduates themselves, such as crime,
unemployment, social exclusion and AIDS.
User-friendly textbook features include:

principles
* up-to-date further reading and key on-line sources

"This book provides a simple but comprehensive framework for the
emerging academic discipline of urban design, from its origins in
Europe and America, to contemporary issues of imagery, finance and
marketing in an age of globalisation"
There is currently no contemporary textbook for urban design
that includes a general history and theory of the subject.
Internationally, urban design is more and more becoming a core
subject taught in architecture schools. The AIA (US) and the RIBA
(UK) both require undergraduates and graduates to study the urban
dimension of architectural design. On a wider scale, in Europe, the
EU is developing a common architectural curriculum, which includes
an urban component for under-graduates. The situation is similar in
schools across Asia and Australia.
Aimed at both students and teachers, this book provides a simple
and accessible framework, from the origins of urban design and the
main techniques developed to deal with the design of fragments of
cities, to participatory planning processes, codes, imagery,
finance and marketing. Finally, it proposes an innovative vision of
contemporary practice based on the work of leading actors and
projects in the field.This book is set to become the key textbook
at undergraduate and graduate levelsIt is written in an accessible
and direct tone, and highly illustrated with many colour and black
and white diagramsIt includes a general history and theory of urban
design and provides an up-to-date account of contemporary urban
conditions
Praise for "Recombinant Urbanism"
""Documents a major intellectual advance...eagerly awaited by
academics and" "practitioners all around the world... should become
a standard text for schools of" "architecture and urbanism."" Leon
Van Schaik, Innovation Professor of Architecture, RMIT,
Australia
"" ...both unique and instrumentally positive. The book is the
result of many years of research and writing, and is a small
masterpiece in urban studies. It has already proved its worth in
the teaching of urban studies, at Columbia, the AA, the Bartlett
School, and Cooper Union, to mention only a few of the universities
where Dr Shane has had a powerful influence...It is, indeed, one of
the very best manuscripts I have read in the field in the last few
years."" Anthony Vidler, Professor and Dean, Irwin S Chanin School
of Architecture, Cooper Union, New York, USA
""I can say without hesitation that I fully endorse Grahame's
work...the issues it covers are highly topical and such a book
would indeed be widely read by architecture students, urban
designers and planners."" Colin Fournier, Professor of Architecture
&Urbanism, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK
""Of great necessity for undergraduate and postgraduate
students, scientists and professionals in urban planning and design
This] publication will certainly inspire work with city models in a
wide range of practice."" Henrik W Jensen, Associate Professor in
Town Planning, Aarhus School of Architecture, The Netherlands
""A very important book. Shane ... has made legible and sensible
the reams of recent urban discourse for a general college reader.
Because of this labor-intensive effort, this book will be
accessible by undergrad architecture programs as well as graduate
seminars in urban design and planning. Additionally there is a big
interest in UD and UP theory in ecology and social science now, and
because of Grahame's generous writing style the book will cross
over to these other disciplines. ... I can also speak to the
international interest in this book; ... again Shane has made
important urban theories and thinking more widely available to an
international student audience. ... The legacy the book will have
(will be in) convincing people that the design of cities matters,
not in the overbearing and over-controlling sense of new urbanism,
but in reinforcing the multiple possibilities of contemporary
life." Brian McGrath, Adjunct Associate Professor of Architecture,
Columbia University, USA

The internet and world wide web are revolutionizing many aspects of
our lives, and have become an accepted part of socioeconomic
experience in developed countries. For entertainment, shopping,
banking, establishing friendships, seeking information, and so on,
the web is the first port of call for an increasing number of
people. A few in education have been quick to see the potential of
the web as a platform for delivering a variety of teaching and
learning materials. Many more, however, would like to make use of
the web, but lack either the time or the skills, or both. Untangled
Web provides a guide for those wishing to develop their own
teaching and learning resources on the web, whether for local, open
or distance learning. By using this book, potential web educators
can acquire some of these basic skills and save time by drawing on
the experiences of the authors and avoiding the pitfalls and
problems that they have encountered. The authors have gained
considerable expertise in devising, designing, constructing,
testing, adapting and evaluating their own web-based instruction
packages which have been developed over a number of years and
involve a variety of subject areas. Untangled web is therefore very
much focused on practical experience, and while it is primarily
aimed at teachers in further and higher education, schoolteachers
interested in using the web as a teaching and learning medium will
find it useful. Untangled Web has been written by an experienced
team from the Department of International Studies at the Nottingham
Trent University. David Graham teaches geography and information
technology; Jane McNeil is Faculty webmaster and teaches medieval
history and information technology; Lloyd Pettiford teaches
international relations.Innovative guide to using the web in
teaching and learning, providing practical advice for lecturers and
teachers on using the web as more than just a support tool
