More than a tenth of the land mass of the UK comprises urban fringe: the countryside around towns that has been called plannings last frontier. One of the key challenges facing spatial planners is the land-use management of this area, regarded by many as fit only for locating sewage works, essential service functions and other un-neighborly uses. However, to others it is a dynamic area where a range of urban and rural uses collide.
"Planning on the Edge" fills an important gap in the literature, examining in detail the challenges that planning faces in this no-mans land. It presents both problems and solutions, and builds a vision for the urban fringe that is concerned with maximizing its potential and with bridging the physical and cultural rift between town and country. Its findings are presented in three sections:
* the urban fringe and the principles underpinning its management
* sectorial challenges faced at the urban fringe (including commerce, energy, recreation, farming, and housing)
* managing the urban fringe more effectively in the future.
Students, professionals and researchers alike will benefit from the books structured approach, while the global and transferable nature of the principles and ideas underpinning the study will appeal to an international audience.

Cinema and audiovisual media are integral to the culture, economy and social experience of the contemporary global city. But how has the relationship between cinema and the urban environment evolved in the era of digital technology, new media and globalization? And what are the critical tools and concepts with which we can grasp this vital interconnection between space and screen, viewer and built environment? Engaging with a rapidly transforming urban world, the contributions to this collection rethink the 'cinematic city' at a global scale. By presenting a global constellation of screen cities within one volume, the book encourages juxtapositions and comparisons across the North and South to capture the global city and its dynamics of exchange, hybridity, and circulation. The contributions examine film and screen cultures in a range of locations spanning five continents: Antibes, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Busan, Cairo, Caracas, Copenhagen, Jakarta, Kolkata, Lagos, Los Angeles, Malmo, Manila, Mumbai, Nairobi, Paris, Seoul, Sete, and Shanghai. The chapters address topics that range across the contemporary film and media landscape, from popular cinema, art cinema, and film festivals to serial television, public screens, multimedia installations, and video art.

How has American cinema engaged with the rapid transformation of cities and urban culture since the 1960s? And what role have films and film industries played in shaping and mediating the "postindustrial" city? This collection argues that cinema and cities have become increasingly intertwined in the era of neoliberalism, urban branding, and accelerated gentrification. Examining a wide range of films from Hollywood blockbusters to indie cinema, it considers the complex, evolving relationship between moving image cultures and the spaces, policies, and politics of US cities from New York, Los Angeles, and Boston to Detroit, Oakland, and Baltimore. The contributors address questions of narrative, genre, and style alongside the urban contexts of production, exhibition, and reception, discussing films including The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), Cruising (1980), Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), King of New York (1990), Inception (2010), Frances Ha (2012), Fruitvale Station (2013), Only Lovers Left Alive (2013), and Doctor Strange (2016).

Am 30. September bricht die schwedische Fregatte Eugenie unter dem Kommando von Kapit n Christian Adolf Virgin zur ersten schwedischen Weltumsegelung auf. Mit an Bord ist der renommierte Botaniker Nils Johann Andersson, der die Fahrt f r die Sammlung und Dokumentation neuer Forschungsdaten nutzen will. Er begleitet die Expedition unter anderem nach Honolulu, Tahiti, San Francisco, zu den Galapagos-Inseln und ans Kap der Guten Hoffnung und kann auf der Reise viele botanische Entdeckungen verzeichnen. 1854 ver ffentlicht er sein Reisetagbuch, das neben den Erkenntnissen f r Anderssons Forschung auch eine genaue Schilderung der Schiffsreise und der Erfahrungen in den fernen L ndern enth lt.

Als die konigliche schwedische Fregatte Eugenie" im September 1851 den Hafen von Karlskrona verliess, um zu einer dreijahrigen Weltumseglung aufzubrechen, war der Botaniker Nils Johan Andersson mit an Bord. Wahrend einer abenteuerlichen Reise, die ihn unter anderem nach Madeira, Rio de Janeiro, Honolulu, Sydney und Manila fuhrte, sammelte Andersson zahlreiche Eindrucke, die er in seinem erstmalig 1854 veroffentlichten Reisebericht anschaulich schildert. Dabei widmet der Darwin-Bewunderer sich nicht nur den botanischen Entdeckungen rund um den Globus, sondern berichtet auch uber den Alltag und das Leben an Bord und die fremden Lander und Kulturen, denen die Besatzung wahrend ihrer Reise begegnete. Herausgekommen ist ein Buch, das die Genres Reisetagebuch, Wissenschaftsreportage und Biographie gekonnt miteinander verknupft und den Leser auf eine faszinierende Reise in die Vergangenheit mitnimmt
