China's urban population is on track to reach 1 billion by 2030. The rapid expansion of urban China is astonishing, but new policies are urgently needed to create healthier cities. Combining on-the-ground reportage and up-to-date research, this pivotal book explains why China has failed to reap many of the economic and social benefits of urbanization, and suggests how these problems can be resolved.Asian arguments.Rural-urban migrationChinaUrbanizationChinaHuman geographybicsscRural-urban migrationUrbanizationHuman geography307.14160951Miller Tom(Journalist),1109070EBLCPCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910786488503321China's urban billion3858272UNINA03293nam 2200553Ia 450 991078010390332120230607214054.01-134-36508-X0-415-20272-81-280-02137-30-203-62132-8(CKB)111087026867534(StDuBDS)AH3713671(SSID)ssj0000297555(PQKBManifestationID)11224590(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000297555(PQKBWorkID)10334917(PQKB)10813116(MiAaPQ)EBC180955(Au-PeEL)EBL180955(CaPaEBR)ebr5004221(CaONFJC)MIL2137(OCoLC)299570254(EXLCZ)9911108702686753420010410d2002 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrGirls and women in classical Greek religion[electronic resource] /Matthew DillonLondon ;New York Routledgec20021 online resource (448 p.) Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-415-31916-1 0-203-34834-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.It has often been thought that participation in fertility rituals was women's most important religious activity in classical Greece. Matthew Dillon's wide-ranging study makes it clear that women engaged in numerous other rites and cults, and that their role in Greek religion was actually more important than that of men. Women invoked the gods' help in becoming pregnant, venerated the god of wine, worshipped new and exotic deities, used magic for both erotic and pain-relieving purposes, and far more besides. Clear and comprehensive, this volume challenges many stereotypes of Greek women and offers unexpected insights into their experience of religion. With more than fifty illustrations, and translated extracts from contemporary texts, this is an essential resource for the study of women and religion in classical Greece.
