This book goes beyond current ways that the impact of climate change upon the city are understood. In doing so it addresses climate in a variety of its connotations. It looks to the nomadic behaviour patterns of the past for lessons for todayrsquo;s population unsettlement; and argues that as human survival will increasingly be linked directly to movement; the city can no longer be defined as a constrained space. The impacts of climate change must be understood as a combination of the actual and the expected; and have to be addressed both practically and culturally.City Futures in an Age of Changing Climate looks at how cities can adapt and respond to the unsustainable conditions they are now facing. The book considers possible post-urban futures; exposing a range of very different urban forms; and addresses the concept of fragmentation; the breaking up of any coherent economic or cultural nucleic urban spaces.Urban planners; designers; development practitioners; and anyone seeking to understand what the future is likely to look like for our cities; and how to prepare for it; will find this an essential read.

I Love Studying Marketing and Branding Tools!By gmbI really enjoyed this beautiful; outstanding book by Cristian Campos; "The Big Book of Bags; Tags; and Labels." The book itself is voluminous and offers page-after-page (360+) of various actual company marketing tools. I loved spending detailed time perusing and appreciatively soaking in all the hang tags; merchandise bags and labels... and the design work that go into creating them.Its an ideal tool-book for anyone (who works with clients to vendors) to design; create and print their marketing needs. For start-ups; this is an incredible tool for bringing all facets to the think-tank about how to proceed--- with how best to market. I found the book to be comforting; soothing and lively all at the same time. If you love this field; you will be so happy to know that a book with this magnitude of clean-detail exists. What an excellent compendium for graphic designers; marketing and advertising professionals who need a versatile "encyclopedia" to help their clients find a mutual starting point; to learn the trades inclusive jargon; lexicon and specialty lingo and its many steps of process on through to fruition.This is a book that is versatile and beautiful enough that you will want it as a reference tool in either your personal collection or your company library. Sometimes; just putting this book into a clients hands helps them track definitively not only where they want to go with their vision; but how they want to get there. Invaluable; indeed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
