The Routledge Handbook of Grassroots Climate Activism
The Routledge Handbook of Grassroots Climate Activism introduces contemporary forms of grassroots climate activism from around the world through the lenses of a variety of academic disciplines, methodologies, and perspectives. Focusing on bottom-up case studies, it showcases innovative and creative approaches, as well as the knowledge of those working towards swift decarbonisation, just transitions, and climate justice. \n \nGrassroots climate ac…
Geopandering
Postage stamps are information products of a state that reflect how the state wishes to present its place in the world. Two changes in stamp production may affect this self-presentation. “Geopandering” (place manipulation) is an extreme form of self-promotion. Stamps of many small and relatively poor sovereignties account for most geopandered stamps, which have little or nothing to do with the sovereignty’s culture, history, or place in the world…

Touring Circuits and the Geography of Rock Music Performance
There are significant cultural differences among music audiences in different locations. Such geographic differences in the propensity to consume new popular music will have an impact on the choices artists and their managers make about where to perform live concerts. We suggest that the popularity of particular places on touring circuits operates as a proxy for the cultural sophistication of the place. Moreover, various locational factors also p…

Why Seattle? An Examination of an Alternative Rock Culture Hearth
This article examines the emergence of the "Seattle sound" as a form of alternative rock music in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Sometimes called "grunge," the "Seattle sound" is reflective of the youth culture in the region. The music of the extraordinarily creative Seattle bands ranged from folk rock to heavy metal. Three common elements in the music seem to emerge: it is loud, it is honest, and it has often been difficult for the bands that p…

An Analysis of Ancient Egyptian Settlement Patterns Using Location–Allocation Covering Models
Location-allocation models may be used to focus upon a multiplicity of factors potentially underlying settlement pattern development. We describe several such maximal covering models and their applicability in understanding the degree of political centralization in the Nile Valley during the Ramessid period (ca. 1317–1070 B.C.). The results of the covering models support the contention that the main objective of the Ramessid bureaucracy in choosi…

Suburbs for a Labor Elite
Unlike many suburbs at the beginning of the twentieth century, Oakwood, a of Knoxville, Tennessee, manifested a blue-collar character. Planned to appeal to the middle class, Oakwood instead attracted highly skilled blue-collar workers and families as residents. Though well-served by lines, Oakwood was not a suburb. The Oakwood example calls into question both the extent to which the function of a may be gleaned from morphological evidence and the…

Industrial Location and Community Development
This study describes and explains the concepts, materials, and methods designed to make community industrial development programs more effective. It attempts to reconcile the three different--and often conflicting--interest groups involved: the industrial land user, represented by the manufacturer seraching for a location; the landowner, represented by the industrial or economic developer; and the community, represented by the planner and other g…

Clustering of Services in Central Places
Within a tertiary system entrepreneurs frequently must choose between places that command the largest local tributary population and places that possess the most desirable collection of complementary service activities. When command of tributary population is chosen over functional complementarity, the central place system increasingly assumes the clustering of activities in centers of a Lösch-like system and diverges from those to be expected in…
