Sommario/riassunto |
|
This memoir by one of the foremost scholars of the Soviet period spans three continents and more than half a century-from the 1950s when Lewis Siegelbaum's father was a victim of McCarthyism up through the implosion of the Soviet Union and beyond. Siegelbaum recreates journeys of discovery and self-discovery in the tumult of student rebellion at Columbia University during the Vietnam War, graduate study at Oxford, and Moscow at the height of détente. His story takes |

the reader into the Soviet archives, the coalfields of eastern Ukraine, and the newly independent Uzbekistan.An intellectual autobiography that is also a biography of the field of Anglophone Soviet history, Stuck on Communism is a guide for how to lead a life on the Left that integrates political and professional commitments. Siegelbaum reveals the attractiveness of Communism as an object of study and its continued relevance decades after its disappearance from the landscape of its origin.Through the journey of a book that is in the end a romance, Siegelbaum discovers the truth in the notion that no matter what historians take as their subject, they are always writing about themselves. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book seeks to provide a comprehensive examination of the critical intersection between urbanization, climate change, and public health. As urban areas expand and face increasing pressures from environmental changes and population growth, there is a growing need for integrated approaches that address these intertwined challenges. This book aims to explore how urban planning, public health, and climate resilience can be aligned to create cities that are not only sustainable but also capable of supporting the well-being of their residents. Designed as a vital resource for urban planners, public health professionals, policymakers, environmentalists, and academics, this book offers insights into strategies for fostering urban environments that can adapt to climate-related challenges while enhancing public health. It covers a wide range of topics, including the design of resilient infrastructure, the creation of green spaces, sustainable urban mobility, and the role of governance and policy in promoting urban health. Additionally, this book emphasizes the importance of community engagement and ethical considerations in urban planning processes. The primary objective is to present a multidisciplinary approach to urban development that addresses the interconnected issues of climate change and public health. By integrating case studies, best practices, and innovative strategies, this book seeks to equip readers with the tools needed for informed decision-making and strategic planning. Ultimately, it aims to inspire the creation of urban spaces that are not only resilient and sustainable but also inclusive and health-promoting, ensuring that cities can thrive in the face of future challenges. |
