Sommario/riassunto

"The Rāmāyana, an Indian epic, is one of the world's best-loved stories. Made available in English for the first time, this version by a female poet from Bengal is very direct, touching, timely, and accessible. The three-part poem is a highly individual rendition of the ancient epic, and instead of celebrating masculine heroism it laments the suffering of women caught in the play of male ego. This book presents a translation and commentary on the text, and provides readers with an alternative view of the tale. It expands the understanding both of the history of women's self-expression in India and the cultural potency of the epic tale. The book is of interest to students and researchers of South Asian studies, Rāmāyana studies and women's and gender studies"--

Sommario/riassunto

The diffusion of information technologies to nearly all facets of our society means we are living fully within a new digital era that could previously only be imagined. The digital mediation of transactions, the rise of new global digital infrastructures, even the proliferation of low-cost sensors and satellites, are fundamentally reshaping what can be known about cities—and therefore what possibilities are unlocked for new urban analysis and planning tools. Published in conjunction with the 19th Computational Urban Planning and Urban Management (CUPUM) conference, held at the University College London in June 2025, the volume contains 17 chapters exploring new applications of a wide range of contemporary technologies, including artificial intelligence, satellite data, big data analysis, and urban sensing. These are applied to diverse problems including resilience to urban heat, preparing for natural disasters like tsunamis, grappling with urban decline, or reducing GHG emissions, or the creation of novel Planning Support Systems.
