Ebenezer Howard's To-Morrow is deservedly the most famous publication in the history of town planning. Originally published in 1898 and repeatedly thereafter, it sparked the garden city movement across the world, and fundamentally changed the terms of debate in urban planning.This new paperback facsimile of the original version of Howard's work includes a detailed commentary by three leading commentators and reproduces in full colour all the material subsequently left out and lost to posterity. This is an invaluable insight into the originality and breadth of Howard's vision, and demonstrates the full extent of his inspiration of future generations of town planners.

England in the early part of the twentieth century was rich in utopian ventures - diverse and intriguing in their scope and aims. Two world wars, an economic depression, and the emergence of fascist states in Europe were all a spur to idealists to seek new limits - to escape from the here and now, and to create sanctuaries for new and better lives.Dennis Hardy explores this fascinating history of utopian ideals, the lives of those who pursued them, and the utopian communities they created.Some communities were fired by a long tradition of land movements, others by thoughts of more humane ways of building towns. In turn there were experiments devoted to the arts; to the promotion of religious doctrine; and to a variety of political causes. And some were just 'places of the imagination'.Utopian England is about just one episode in the perennial search for perfection, but what is revealed has lessons that extend well beyond a particular time and place. So long as there are failings in society, so long as rationality is not enough, there will continue to be a place for thinking the impossible, for going in search of utopia.

The world order is changing. And the Indo-Pacific is at the heart of it. In these uncertain times, this book asks the crucial question: will there be war or peace?America remains immensely powerful, but China aims for world primacy. Where does this binary struggle leave India? And what about Japan, rearming for the first time since 1945? As if that were not enough, North Korea is aligning itself with Russia, which itself has returned to the world stage. Meanwhile, islands in the connected seas may look idyllic but are often the home of unresolved disputes. And the problems of the Middle East have drifted south into the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. Should Islam be seen now as a geopolitical force in the region? The Indo-Pacific is witness to it all.Written for a wide readership, this volume provides essential reading for academics, diplomats, and policymakers to understand contemporary Indo-Pacific geopolitics. The book appeals to practitioners as well as theorists across disciplines, including International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, and Regional Studies.
