Facets of Social Geography: International and Indian Perspectives provides a breadth of information on the nature, scope, history and evolution of social geography along with a good representation of approaches and techniques used in this field. It discusses both conceptual and empirical approaches, and traditional and emergent social geography themes including art and culture, urbanism and crime, social institutions of caste, class and religion, gender, disability, activism, feminism, social planning, enterprise zones, social and economic inequities, post-colonialism, post-modernism and development of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. India's social structure based on centuries-old Karma principles and a four-level caste system are dealt with in this book to help unravel the country's social geography. This book is a felicitation volume in honour of Allen G. Noble, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Geography and Planning at the University of Akron, Ohio, USA. A result of the collective effort of 40 leading national and international scholars, it is an excellent addition to the current stock of knowledge and will be of interest to geographers, sociologists, demographers, urban and regional planners and policy-makers.

Ce troisième volume définit le regard que le musulman du Moyen Âge pose sur la terre, l'eau, le ciel, les bêtes et les plantes. La terre, à travers ses montagnes, ses déserts, les campagnes et les sols, est inséparable de l'eau perçue essentiellement dans sa fonction nourricière, d'où l'importance de l'irrigation. Le ciel, considéré dans sa relation avec l'homme à travers le climat, surtout la pluie, capitale pour les zones arides où est installé en grande partie le monde musulman. Évocation enfin des bêtes et des plantes, zoologie et botanique cédant le pas à une description fondée sur le rapport de l'homme à la création tel que le définit l'islam.

Children feature centrally in the ubiquitous narratives of 'migration crises'. They are often depicted as essentially vulnerable and in need of special protections, or suspiciously adult-like and a threat to national borders. At the same time, many voices, experiences, and stories are rarely heard, especially about children on the move within the global South. This bilingual book, written in English and Spanish, challenges simplistic narratives to enrich perspectives and understanding. Drawing on collaborations between young (im)migrants, researchers, artists and activists, this collection asks new questions about how crises are produced, mobility is controlled, and childhood is conceptualised. Answers to these questions have profound implications for resources, infrastructures, and relationships of care. Authors offer insights from diverse global contexts, painting a rich and insightful tapestry about childhood (im)mobility. They stress that children are more than recipients of care and that the crises they face are multiple and stratifying, with long historical roots. Readers are invited to understand migration as an act of concern and love, and to attend to how the solidarities between citizens and 'others', adults and children, and between children, are understood and forged.
