1 P R, Biju
Political internet : state and politics in the age of
social media / Biju P R.-- New York: Routledge, 2017.
xi, 271p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9781138282780.
302.23 PRB 145820, 146824
This book investigates the Internet as a site of
political contestation in the Indian context. It widens
the scope of the public sphere to social media, and
explores its role in shaping the resistance and protest
movements on the ground. The book also explores the role
of the Internet, a global technology, in framing debates
on the idea of the nation state, especially India, as
well as diplomacy and international relations. It also
discusses the possibility of whether Internet can be used
as a tool for social justice and change, particularly by
the underprivileged, to go beyond caste, class, gender
and other oppressive social structures.

2 Wessels, Bridgette
Communicative civic-ness : social media and political
culture / Bridgette Wessels.-- New York: Routledge, 2018.
201p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9781138959408.
302.231 WES 146859
This book explores how political culture shapes social
media interactions in civic participation, arguing that
social media usage is informed by context-specific civil
and political culture. It critically addresses issues
within the concept of political culture and develops the
concept of -communicative civic-ness-. This concept seeks
to aid a better-informed debate about the capacity of
social media to support the pluralistic discussions that
underpin deliberative democratic processes. It also
provides useful information and understanding to third
sector organisations and policy-makers regarding forms of
civic participation.

4 Howson, Richard
The Sociology of postmarxism / Richard Howson.-- London:
Routledge, 2018.
x,147p. , 24cm.
(Routledge advances in sociology , 216).
ISBN : 9780415958004.
306.2 HOW 146832
This book develops key postmarxist arguments in an
engaging and sociologically applicable way. Indeed,
through a threefold method of analysis, Howson first
unpacks the relationship between ‘the social’ and
‘the political’ by analysing key allied theories to
show where the points of connection occur. This is then
followed by an insightful analysis of the key features of
postmarxist theory such as antagonism and the inevitability of
social dislocation, the political importance of hegemony, and the
empty signifier thesis and equivalence to show how such theory
can be applied at a sociological level. Finally, through the
use of sociological categories such as masculinities, migration
and social capital, the foregoing theoretical analyses are synthesised
to show the social nature of postmarxism and particularly in the context
of aspiration and co-operation.

ISBN : 9789352872930.
307.12091724 BHA 146853
This book offers a collection of essays on planning in parts

unmarked in mainstream planning texts. This edition is
particularlytimely for a South Asian audience, given the
emerging debates on cities and urbanization in India, as well as on both
planning practice and education. The five sections of this book discuss
planning and the state, economy and economic actors, new drivers of urban
change, landscapes of citizenship, and planning pedagogy.
This volume will be of interest to urbanists, planners, urban
economists, sociologists and environmental scientists, as well as
practitioners across a range of urban sectors wishing to engage with new
planning theory and practice from India and across the global South.

(Routledge advances in regional economics, science and
policy , 26).
ISBN : 9781138676725.
307.1216095 CHO 146860
This book discusses the participation and contribution of
the ageing population as a positive and creative force
towards urban design and place-making, particularly in
high-density urban contexts, as observed in a collection
of empirical cases found in rapidly ageing Asian cities.
The book gives a good overview of diverse challenges and
opportunities in the various Asian urban contexts and
offers a new perspective of an ageing and urban design
framework that emphasizes multi-stakeholder
collaboration, inter-generational relations and the
collective wisdom of older people as a source of
creativity.

This book charts the political, economic and social
forces that drove development in India generally and in
Delhi in particular, and investigates the drivers and
constituents of Delhi’s urban landscape. The book
provides a lens through which to examine the development
path of a mega-city, which can be used as a guide in the
development of emerging urban centers. Furthermore, the
strengths and weaknesses of Delhi-s built environment are
critically analyzed, with consideration to the role of
the market, finance and policy over time. This book not
only provides valuable insight into the physical
evolution of Delhi and its surrounds, but it also asks
broader questions about how people, power and politics
interact with urban environments.

science.

Banking systems simulation : theory, practice, and

xvi, 246p. , 25cm.
ISBN : 9781119195894.
332.10681 ZED 146836
This book presents banking system risk modeling clearly
within a theoretical framework. The book explores single
bank risk, common bank exposures, and contagion, and how
these apply on a systemic level. Zedda approaches these
simulation methods logically by providing the basic
building blocks of modeling and simulation, and then
delving further into the individual techniques that make
up a systems model. In addition, the author provides
clear and detailed explanations of the foundational
research into the mathematical and legal concepts used to
analyze banking risk problems, measures and data for
representing the main banking risk sources, and the major
problems researchers are likely to encounter.

ISBN : 9781138938878.
338.04 ESS 146862
The distinguished authors and editors of this book
explore how entrepreneurship study can privilege certain
forms of economic action, whilst labelling other, more
collective forms of organization and exchange as problematic.
This book gives voice to other entrepreneurial subjectivities
and engages with the tensions, paradoxes and ambiguities at
the heart of the topic. This challenging collection seeks to
further the momentum for alternate analyses of the field, and
to promote the growing voice of critical entrepreneurship studies.

ISBN : 9780691175034.
338.5 HAS 146316, 146852
Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing importance
of intangible assets has also played a role in some of the big
economic changes of the last decade. The rise of intangible
investment is, Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake argue, an
underappreciated cause of phenomena from economic inequality
to stagnating productivity.

ISBN : 9780262037068.
720.105 STE 146850
In this book, the author Steenson explores the work of
four architects in the 1960s and 1970s who incorporated
elements of interactivity into their work. Christopher
Alexander, Richard Saul Wurman, Cedric Price, and
Nicholas Negroponte and the MIT Architecture Machine
Group all incorporated technologies-including cybernetics
and artificial intelligence-into their work and
influenced digital design practices from the late 1980s
to the present day. She investigates how these architects
pushed the boundaries of architecture-and how their
technological experiments pushed the boundaries of
technology.
