Landscape Citizenships, featuring work by academics from North
America, Europe, and the Middle East, extends the growing body of
thought and research in landscape democracy and landscape justice.
Landscape, as a milieu of situated everyday practice in which
people make places and places make people in an inextricable
relation, is proving a powerful concept for conceiving of politics
and citizenships as lived, dialogic, and emplaced. Grounded in
discourses of ecological, environmental, watershed, and bioregional
citizenships, this edited collection evaluates belonging through
the idea of landscape as landship which describes substantive,
mutually constitutive relations between people and place. With a
strong international focus across 14 chapters, it delves into key
topics such as marginalization, indigeneity, globalization,
politics, and the environment, before finishing with an epilogue
written by Kenneth R. Olwig. This volume will appeal to scholars
and activists working in citizenship studies, migration, landscape
studies, landscape architecture, ecocriticism, and the many
disciplines which converge around these topics, from design to
geography, anthropology, politics, and much more.

Landscape and Agency explores how landscape, as an idea, a visual
medium and a design practice, is organized, appropriated and framed
in the transformation of places, from the local to the global. It
highlights how the development of the idea of agency in landscape
theory and practice can fundamentally change our engagement with
future landscapes. Including a wide range of international
contributions, each illustrated chapter investigates the many ways
in which the relationship between the ideas and practices of
landscape, and social and subjective formations and material
processes, are invested with agency. They critically examine the
role of landscape in processes of contemporary urban development,
environmental debate and political agendas and explore how these
relations can be analysed and rethought through a dialogue between
theory and practice.

Dizzy diseases make people lurch, slide and tumble -- and they make
people anxious. They may be part of Parkinsonism, Multiple System
Atrophy (MSA), Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy (OPCA) or something
else altogether. They're often hard to diagnose. This compelling
account of life with a "dizzy disease" is an easy-to-read treasure
of information and hope for victims and their families.
