-
- A multi-media collection of essays on seven world cities, in which key global issues—flows of information, images, people and products—are explored through the analysis of local sites. These issues include new forms of social and cultural mix, new urban projects (often reworkings of historical locations), new forms of urban practice in public space, and new or stubbornly traditional but subtly reconfigured discursive formations.

Modern Mobilities
- Human mobility, and the multiplication of its forms, diversification of its trajectories and acceleration of its speed, can be regarded as the quintessential experience of the modern age. The edited volume explores human mobility that are emerging in late modernity. Through a range of case studies focussing on different types of mobility that take place in and between Asia, Europe and the Americas, it considers the particular empirical, theoretical, methodological and politcal challenges the modern mobilites bring to the humanities and social sciences.

Ports and Borders: Cultural Exchange Across Nations
Although a considerable amount of attention has been paid to diaspora in terms of population movement, migration and settlement in diasporic communities within host countries, there has been relatively little study of the geographic places of transition, ports and border-crossings, with their unique cultures, both temporary and permanent, hybrid and discrete.
Ports and Borders: Cultural Transfer will maximise the facilities of an e-book to examine a wide range of port-cities, from Hong Kong to Marseille, and the border territories between Israel and Palestine, the USA and Mexico, and Gibraltar and Morocco, as well as the complex border of New York
