Privileged Spaces

  • Privileged Spaces draws on the knowledge and experience of library leaders, estates directors, space managers and researchers to examine how the demands on library space change due to evolving university estates strategy. It highlights the impact this can have on space retention, service delivery and user satisfaction, demonstrating the importance of library, estates and facilities leaders working in partnership to deliver spaces in alignment with university planning.

    As universities continually change their strategy and teaching spaces to meet market demands, library spaces are increasingly in scope for estates development plans in the same way as any university building. Drawing on years of professional experience, the authors provide guidance on fostering an effective working relationship with a range of university departments, making the case for investment in libraries, engaging stakeholders to support library development, and influencing university estates strategy. This book features case studies to illustrate the successes and challenges of delivering small to large library space projects. This is an ideal reference for library directors, staff, and planning professionals who want to ensure their library space meets the needs of its users and the wider university.

  • The changing nature of African landscapes, from rural to urbanized spaces, has been a pre-occupation of African media producers since the beginnings of the African film industry in the 1960s. The authors bring together several examples of African documentary and fiction screen media that present, evaluate and criticize urban and rural landscapes, and the rural and urban dynamic of development, in relation to contemporary issues, from biodiversity, sustainability and deforestation, to inequity, women's rights, political instability, to climate change-related themes of water and food supply, security and sovereignty. These works, comprising multi-platform cinema, streamed moving images and especially documentaries, depict the situations and open the door to rethinking and eventually to the possibilities of proposals responding to the situations portrayed.

Timber!
  • How Wood Can Help Save the World from Climate Breakdown

  • The carbon emissions generated by concrete and steel construction are well-known. Why then are we not using more carbon-friendly building materials? In a passionate and compelling argument Paul Brannen advocates the use of timber in buildings wherever possible. His controversial and counterintuitive argument is clear: planting trees is not enough to reduce carbon, we also have to chop them down and use more wood in our buildings and cities.

    This is the first book to take timber from the margins to the mainstream, from the forests to the cities. The book tackles head-on questions about sustainability, safety, the biodiversity of commercial forests and the pressures on land use. The case for timber as a construction material is persuasively made - the creation of new engineered timbers with the structural strength of steel and concrete enable us for the first time to build wooden skyscrapers - and draws on the latest developments in engineering and material science. In addition to the familiar forestry models, the book advocates alternatives such as wood farming and agroforestry that bring with them added biodiversity gains for farms.

    With the built environment currently responsible for forty per cent of the world's carbon emissions, Brannen's message is unequivocal: we must change how we build. Timber! offers fresh and inventive ideas that over time could see our expanding cities storing more carbon than our expanding forests.
