First populated by the Huron, Iroquois and Chippewa Nations,
Orillia is now a well-loved, year-round recreation destination. Its
history is deeply tied to its water. Situated in the narrows where
Lake Simcoe flows into Lake Couchiching, Orillia was a gathering
place for centuries before Europeans used it to bring furs to
market. Sir John Simcoe, first governor of Upper Canada, fostered
permanent settlement of the area. A gateway to the Muskoka region,
it has been home to lumber, manufacturing, and artistic endeavours.
Today, summer cottagers and winter athletes alike enjoy the
Sunshine City and its more than twenty annual festivals. Local
author Dennis Rizzo tells the fascinating and diverse history of
Orillia, Ontario.
Stories abound about legendary New York City gangsters like "Lucky"
Luciano, but Buffalo has housed its fair share of thugs and
mobsters too. While many were nothing more than common criminals or
bank robbers, a powerful crime family headed by local boss Stefano
Magaddino emerged in the 1920s. Close to Canada, Niagara Falls and
Buffalo were perfect avenues through which to transport booze, and
Magaddino and his Mafiosi maintained a stranglehold on the city
until his death in 1974. Local mob expert Michael Rizzo takes a
tour of Buffalo's mafia exploits everything from these brutal
gangsters' favorite hangouts to secret underground tunnels to
murder.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Addressing the complex interrelationships between city making and
the resources needed for its production, Predatory Urbanism
explores the link between urbanization and resources in the global
South. It particularly focuses on urban megaprojects, highlighting
these planned developments and re-developments carried out by the
state or state-linked agencies. Engaging with positivist rhetoric
on climate change, this timely book investigates the dramatic
transformation of rural and urban land in Asia, discussing the main
ecological deficits affecting Asian cities. Chapters analyse some
of the most paradigmatic megaprojects in the global South and their
socio-environmental predatory characteristics. Through exposing the
limitations of today's predatory urbanism in the global South, the
book argues for the importance of rethinking the
resource-urbanization nexus towards socially and environmentally
just urbanism. An invigorating read for urban studies and planning
scholars, this will particularly benefit those researching
globalization in the global South. It will also aid urban planners
reflecting on their practice and looking to improve developments in
city making.
Cultural heritage is a complex and elusive concept, constantly
evolving through time, and combining cultural, aesthetic, symbolic,
spiritual, historical and economic values. The Handbook on the
Economics of Cultural Heritage outlines the contribution of
economics to the design and analysis of cultural heritage policies
and to addressing issues related to the conservation, management
and enhancement of heritage.The Handbook takes a multidisciplinary
approach, using cultural economics as a theoretical framework to
illustrate how crucial and stimulating cross-disciplinary dialogue
actually is. Contributors scrutinize the co-existence of cultural
and economic values as well as the new challenges that arise from
changes brought about by technology, and relationships between the
different actors engaged in the production, distribution and
consumption of heritage services. The roles of public, private and
non-profit organizations are also explored. Case studies underpin
the discussion, demonstrating the clear and vital link between
theory and practice. This highly unique Handbook will prove a
fascinating and informative read for academics, researchers,
students and policymakers with an interest in cultural economics.

This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) and
more broadly in the fields of smart materials and intelligent
systems. The volume covers highly diverse topics, including signal
processing, smart sensors, autonomous systems, remote sensing and
support, UAV platforms for SHM, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0,
and SHM for civil structures and infrastructures. The
contributions, which are published after a rigorous international
peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will
spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary
collaboration among different specialists. The contents of this
volume reflect the outcomes of the activities of EWSHM (European
Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring) in 2020.
