Splintering Urbanism makes an international and interdisciplinary analysis of the complex interactions between infrastructure networks and urban spaces. It delivers a new and powerful way of understanding contemporary urban change, bringing together discussions about:*globalization and the city*technology and society*urban space and urban networks*infrastructure and the built environment*developed, developing and post-communist worlds.With a range of case studies, illustrations and boxed examples, from New York to Jakarta, Johannesberg to Manila and Sao Paolo to Melbourne, Splintering Urbanism demonstrates the latest social, urban and technological theories, which give us an understanding of our contemporary metropolis.

Telecommunications and the City provides the first critical and state-of-the-art review of the relations between telecommunications and all aspects of city development and management.Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches and a wide body of recent research, the book addresses key academic and policy debates about technological change and the future of cities with a fresh perspective. Through this approach, the complex and crucial transformations underway in cities in which telecommunications have central importance are mapped out and illustrated. Key areas where telecommunications impinge on the economic, social, physical, enviromental and institutional development of cities are illustrated by using boxed extracts and wide range of case study examples from Europe, Japan and North America.Rejecting the extremes of optimism and pessimism in current hype about cities and telecommunications, Telecommunications and the City offers a sophisticated new perspective through which city-telecommunications relations can be understood.

Writing skills are essential for success in the 21st-century school and workplace, but most classrooms devote far more time to reading instruction, with writing often addressed in isolation or excluded. In this insightful professional development resource and text, leading researchers discuss why and how to integrate writing and reading instruction in grades K-12 and beyond. Contributors explore how to harness writing–reading connections to support learning in such areas as phonics and spelling, vocabulary, understanding genre and text structure, and self-regulated strategy development, as well as across content areas and disciplines. Special considerations in teaching emergent bilingual students and struggling literacy learners are described. User-friendly features include guiding questions, classroom examples, and action questions that help teachers translate the research and concepts into practice.An NCTQ Exemplary Text for Reading Instruction

The North East Premier League (NEPL) was born out of a desire to restructure the nation's cricket at every level. Following a disastrous 1997, the ECB Chairman Lord McLaurin commissioned the "Raising the Standard" report and thus the face of English recreational cricket changed forever with the formation of Premier Leagues across the country. The NEPL got underway on 29th April 2000 with one of its stated intentions being the smoothing of the pathway from recreational and club cricket to a career in professional cricket for the very best young players of future generations. Such was the success of the NEPL there are at least a dozen players who have gone on to play test cricket for England who can trace their cricketing roots to the league. This includes Ben Stokes, Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood. Wood shares his memories of his time in the league and revisits his role in two title winning games. A further benchmark of the league can be found in the 2019 World Cup Final where no less than five players took part who had played in the NEPL. This book looks at cricket biographies of just under 250 players who have left a mark on the NEPL in the first 25 years with memories from the very best of those players who describe how they won their league titles and their memories of their team mates and opponents of the day. Those memories are supported by league tables, batting and bowling averages and authentic photographs from the relevant period of time, as well as a comprehensive weekly look at the 2024 season.
