Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Environmental Sciences, , course: Urban and Regional Planning, language: English, abstract: This is a piece of writing that reflects on one of the current debates in the field of planning ¿ the subject and profession of planning. I narrate how my three-day experience with a biologist working with community groups, corporate organizations and local governments to create and maintain dynamic urban green spaces in communities within the south-western Canadian province of British Columbia exposed my intellectual naivety about the very profession I am aspiring to become. My critical assessment of the contributions of the environmentalist, who is without formal training in community development or social planning, to community-building and social mobilization through his environmental and climate change mitigation programs, as well as the manner in which he deals with the daily challenges he encounters, shows how appropriate a professional planning identity, if so cherished by him, would be legitimate and justifiable. Focusing on the questions of what planning is and what planners do, I judge this assertion by scrutinizing the activities, communication acts, knowledge and skill-base of the biologist, from both practical and theoretical lenses. My findings and analysis display planning¿s elusive dilemma of being a knowledge power house; show how change is effected at the grassroots; shed insight on the link between planning theory and practice; and offer some useful insights for those considering a profession in community development and social planning. It also notes that, while planning is increasingly becoming expansive, threatening its traditional identity and rendering it somewhat vague, its relevance and uniqueness remains unquestionable in our current world bedeviled by a complex maze of challenges of an unprecedented scale.

Today, many readers could easily list thirty classic authors, or thirty classic works of art, literature, music, philosophy, or science. But would they be able to name thirty classic works of history? In spite of history's outsized influence in the world of ideas, the books that made - and-remade - the history we know so well are often forgotten. In this panoramic book, distinguished historian Jaume Aurell sets out to introduce readers to a new canon of historical writing. Taking a global approach, he places the work of Herodotus, Thucydides, Gibbon, Michelet and Braudel alongside masterpieces from a myriad of periods and civilizations, from Sima Qian, Anna Komnene, al-Masudi and Fukuzawa Yukichi to Edmundo O'Gorman, C. L. R. James and Natalie Zemon Davis. At the same time, Aurell argues that we should not see these books as a definitive canon - instead, any canon should be seen as a list-in-progress to be contested and debated anew with each generation. It is only by being exposed to these diverse and deeply significant works that we can fully perceive the shape of the discipline, and carve out a new appreciation for the art of history writing.

Bei Rennautos ist normalerweise die Technik wichtiger als die Optik, nur einige wenige von ihnen können sich wirklich sehen lassen. Der Ferrari 312 P gehört auf jeden Fall zu dieser Spezies. Neben den Designern Giacomo Caliri und Edmondo Casoli ist dafür auch Enzo Ferrari höchstpersönlich zu danken, der dem Team untersagte, Spoiler oder andere aerodynamische Hilfsmittel anzubringen. Sogar für den Fall, dass sich diese positiv auf die Fahreigenschaften ausgewirkt hätten. Gebaut wurde der 312 P für die Sportwagen-Weltmeisterschaft 1969. Aufgrund einer recht kurzen Entwicklungszeit und eines nur kleinen Etats waren ihm große Erfolge vergönnt. Während andere Firmen viele Autos einsetzten war bei Ferrari außer in Monza und Le Mans jeweils nur ein Fahrzeug zum Einsatz. Bereits in der Folgesaison debütierte der Nachfolger 512 P, der mit seinem Fünf Liter-Motor den Kampf mit den Porsche 917 aufnahm. Der 312 P wurde ab 1970 vom North American Racing Team (NART) eingesetzt und sogar komplett umgebaut. Dieses Buch von Autor Gianni Agnesa erzählt die Geschichte eines Rennsportwagens, von dem nur drei Exemplare gebaut wurden. Jedes Detail wird akribisch aufgeführt. Auf 264 Seiten wird die Geschichte - beginnend mit den ersten Tests über ausgiebige Berichte zu allen Rennen des Werksteams und NART bis zur Geschichte jenes Fahrzeugs, welches bis heute bei historischen Veranstaltungen an den Start geht - beschrieben. Kurz portraitiert werden auch die Fahrer, darunter klangvolle Namen wie Chris Amon, Mario Andretti, Pedro Rodríguez, Peter Schetty, Mike Parkes, Tony Adamowicz, Chuck Parsons oder Sam Posey. Das großformatige hochwertige Buch wurde von McKlein produziert und wird in einem Schuber geliefert. Es beinhaltet außerdem zahlreiche bislang unveröffentlichte Fotos. ------------------------------------------------------------- With racing cars being built mainly for performance, only few of them combine this with admirable beauty. Ferrari's model 312 P is definitely such an example - thanks to the work of its designers Giacomo Caliri and Edmondo Casoli, but also Enzo Ferrari, who tried to stop the team adding wings or other aerodynamic additions to its beauty - even if they might have improved the car's performance. The 312 P was built by the Maranello company for the 1969 World Sportscar Championship and powered by a stunning 3-litre V12 engine. A short development period and a small budget led to a season of mixed results where, except in Monza and at Le Mans, only one car was sent to the races to take on all the other teams. Its official career ended when the bigger 5-litre 512 S came for the 1970 season to fight the Porsche 917s. This book by Gianni Agnesa tells the story of the car - of which only three examples have been built - in every detail, from the very first test, through every race they did with the factory team or later when the North American Racing Team took over the cars. It gives short portraits of the drivers of the 312 P, such as Chris Amon, Mario Andretti, Pedro Rodríguez, Peter Schetty, Mike Parkes, Tony Adamowicz, Chuck Parsons or Sam Posey. The 264-page volume takes us right up today and the one example that is still used on some historic events. The large-format, high quality book produced by McKlein comes in a slipcase and is illustrated by many previously unseen images. ------------------------------------------------------------- Con le auto da corsa costruite principalmente per le prestazioni, solo poche risultano essere davvero belle. Il modello 312 P della Ferrari ne è sicuramente un esempio - grazie al lavoro dei suoi designer Giacomo Caliri ed Edmondo Casoli, ma anche di Enzo Ferrari, che cercò di impedire al team di aggiungere alla sua bellezza ali o altre appendici aerodinamiche- anche se queste avrebbero potuto migliorare le prestazioni della macchina. La 312 P fu costruita dalla casa di Maranello per il Campionato mondiale di auto sportive del 1969 ed era alimentata da uno straordinario motore V12 da 3 litri. Un periodo di sviluppo breve e un budget ridotto portarono a una stagione di risultati contrastanti in cui, tranne a Monza e a Le Mans, fu inviata sui circuiti una sola vettura per affrontare tutte le altre agguerrite squadre. Nonostente ciò molti piloti di spicco come Amon, Andretti, Rodriguez, Schetty, Piper, Parkes, Adamowicz, Parsons, Posey ebbero l'opportunità di guidare il prototipo Ferrari in gara. La sua carriera ufficiale terminò quando la più grande 512 S da 5 litri arrivò per la stagione 1970 per combattere la Porsche 917. Questo libro di Gianni Agnesa racconta la storia dell'auto - di cui sono stati costruiti solo tre esemplari - in ogni dettaglio, fin dal primo test, attraverso ogni gara che hanno fatto con il team ufficiale o in seguito quando le auto corsero con i colori del North American Racing Team. E si arriva infine ai giorni nostri in cui un solo esemplare è ancora utilizzato in eventi sportivi storici. Il libro di grande formato e di alta qualità prodotto da McKlein è contenuto in una custodia ed è illustrato da molte immagini assolutamente inedite. ------------------------------------------------------------- Les voitures de compétition sont développées pour la performance, et très peu combinent cette exigence avec une admirable beauté. La Ferrari 312 P est assurément une de celles-ci, grâce au travail des designers Giacomo Caliri et Edmondo Casoli, mais aussi à Enzo Ferrari qui a freiné l'équipe dans ses projets d'ajouter ailerons et autres appendices aérodynamiques, même si ceux-ci auraient pu avoir une incidence sur les performances de la voiture. La 312 P a été développée par l'équipe de Maranello pour le Championnat du Monde des Voitures de Sport 1969 et était motorisée par un extraordinaire moteur V12 de 3 litres de cylindrée. Une courte période de mise au point combinée à un faible budget ont conduit à une saison mitigée lors de laquelle, exception faite de Monza et Le Mans, une seule auto a été engagée face aux autres équipes. Sa carrière s'est achevée lorsque la 512 S, motorisée par un 5 litres, a été présentée pour battre en 1970 les Porsche 917. Ce livre de Gianni Agnesa raconte de façon détaillée l'histoire de cette voiture, dont seuls trois exemplaires ont été construits, depuis les premiers tests jusqu'à ses engagements en compétition, avec l'équipe officielle ou plus tard avec le North American Racing Team. Il nous emmène jusqu'aujourd'hui au seul exemplaire encore engagé dans certains événements historiques. Le livre grand format de haute qualité édité par McKlein est livré dans un étui rigide et est illustré par de nombreuses photos inédites.

"Alice Austen uses her considerable gifts to remind us that the past and the present are more connected than we wish to believe, and that vigilance, loyalty and art hold the key to survival. This is a beautiful and deeply engaging novel." — Ann Patchett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tom LakeAn outstanding debut novel—a love story, mystery, and philosophical puzzle, told in the singular voices of the residents of a Beaux Arts apartment house in Belgium during World War II.On the eve of the Nazi occupation, in the heart of Brussels, life for the residents of 33 Place Brugmann is about to change forever.Charlotte Sauvin, an art student raised by her beloved architect father in apartment 4L, knows all the details of the building and its people: how light falls on wood floors and voices echo off the marble staircase, the distinct knock of her dear friend, Julian Raphaël, the son of the art dealer’s family across the hall. Then the Raphaëls disappear, leaving everything behind but their priceless art collection, which has simply vanished.All else that’s familiar fractures when whispers of German occupation become reality, and the lives of the residents grow increasingly intertwined. Charlotte’s godmother Masha, a beautiful seamstress living upstairs, deepens her risky affair with a wartime compatriot of Colonel Warlemont in 3L—a man far more calculating than his neighbors believe. When a Nazi functionary with an interest in the Raphaëls moves into the building, knowing who can and cannot be trusted becomes a matter of life and death.In the face of their perilous new reality, every member of this accidental community will discover they are not the person they believed themself to be. When confronted with a cruel choice—submit to the regime or risk their lives to save one another—each learns the truth about what, and who, matters to them the most.A propulsive and exquisitely written tour de force, 33 Place Brugmann champions the restorative power of love, courage, and art in times of great threat.
