Climate Change and British Wildlife
WINNER OF THE MARSH BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD (2019)A pioneering look at how climate change is affecting British wildlife – winners, losers, new arrivals and future prospects. There is no escaping the fact that the British climate is changing, and our wildlife is changing with it.In this remarkable account, Trevor Beebee examines the story so far for our plant, fungi and animal species.Warmer and wetter winters, combined with longer summers, have worked to the advantage of plants such as the rare Lady Orchid, and a whole range of insects.The UK is also hosting new arrivals that come in on the wing. But there is adversity, too. Alpine plants and seabirds – particularly Kittiwakes – are suffering declines as our countryside warms.Given the evidence so far, can we predict what the future holds for our British ecosystems?"Fascinating but frightening, compelling and concerning … this book brings together all you need to know about how the climate is impacting wildlife." - Chris Packham

London: Architecture, Building and Social Change
London, a fascinating metropolis not just in terms of its history and landmark buildings, is also a city that grew out of villages.Its unique geography is expressed in a mosaic of districts, each with its own distinctive character and pedigree.London's districts, with their patchwork layout of primarily Georgian and Victorian squares and terraces juxtaposed with modern buildings and estates, reflect changing ideals in architecture, urban design and planning as well as shifting values in real estate and the insatiable thirst of its consumers.London is thus both text and context: fossilized social history, layerings of economic, social, and architectural history conveyed in stock brick, stucco, Portland stone, glass and steel.Underpinning this urban landscape is an evolutionary resilience that has maintained the basic spatial framework of the metropolis and sustained its imitable character.The city's institutional framework has been severely ruptured and reinvented time and time again after fires, bombs, floods or wholesale redevelopment. Political unrest and racial conflict have resulted in riots, while successive rounds of investment and disinvestment have replaced elements of the built environment many times over.This book offers an insightful perspective into the distinctiveness of London as expressed through its socially significant buildings and districts.

Whistler: Streetscapes, Urban Change
An in-depth look at Whistler’s city streets and storefronts, addressing the phenomena of urbanization and gentrification, past and presentJames McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) created hundreds of works that depicted urban contexts undergoing rapid transformation.This handsome volume sheds new light on his picturesque representations of London’s shifting urban landscape during the Victorian era.Despite Whistler’s aversion to overtly political themes, his artworks reveal a long-term engagement with social change.Properties for the newly rich replaced historic buildings and shops, forcing many into squalid conditions.The images featured here, primarily drawn from the permanent collections of the Colby College Museum of Art and the National Museum of Asian Art, bear witness to the uncertainties of modern metropolitan life that Whistler saw firsthand.However, his streetscapes also reflect the modern practice of “artwashing,” wherein the negative consequences of gentrification are hidden by aesthetic screens.This book asks the reader to consider the intention and function of these engaging images: to memorialize the new struggles of the urban poor or to romanticize poverty for a rising middle-class art market.

Urban Soundscapes : A Guide to Listening for Landscape Architecture and Urban Design
Sound and listening are intrinsically linked to how we experience and engage with places and communities.This guide puts forward a new conceptual framework of embodied affectivity that emphasises listening in urban research and design and advances new ways of knowing and making.The guide invites landscape architects and urban designers to become soundscape architects and offers practical advice on sound and listening applicable to each stage of a design project: from reading the environment to intervening on it. Urban Soundscapes foregrounds listening as an affective mediator between subjects and multispecies environments, and a vehicle to think and conceptualise environmental research and design beyond prevailing visual and human-centred modes.The guide expands landscape architects’ and urban designers’ tools and skills to assess existing soundscapes, predict how those soundscapes will be altered through their designs, consider sound as a creative and active part of the design process and envisage how users might perceive and be affected by those soundscapes as they evolve in time.The volume sits in the interface of research and practice and interweaves theoretical, methodological and creative contributions from acoustic ecology, ecoacoustics, bioacoustics and sound art.Each of the design stages is illustrated through project examples that demonstrate the many advantages of incorporating attentive listening and sound into Landscape Architecture and Urban Design Practice.This book shows how incorporating listening and sounding as part of the design process promotes slow and subtle ways of practice, adds social and ecological value through the reduction of noise pollution and by monitoring the health of habitats, and enables the design of soundscapes that complement the character and design intent of a scheme and elicit joy and wonder. The book will be of interest to practitioners and academics in landscape architecture, and other design and spatial fields such as urban design, architecture, geography and engineering, who play a primary role in the composition of the soundscape.
