DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In her inventive new poems, Caki Wikinson meditates, with humor and disarming tenderness, on family, loneliness, and the seemingly endless threats of our age. In her third collection, Caki Wilkinson steers us into flyover country—from its gun shows and high school gyms to the gates of Graceland—as she explores the relationship between fear and self-protection, both the ways we weather the past and how we carry it with us. Through an array of voices and forms, The Survival Expo finds music in the mundane—and hope, too, in the worlds we make to survive the world that made us.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In 2010 Shanghai hosted the largest, most spectacular and most expensive expo ever. Attracting a staggering 73 million visitors, and costing around US$45 billion dollars, Shanghai Expo broke the records in the history of world's fairs and universal expositions. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, many of which face uncertain futures, this mega event confronted some of the key challenges facing humanity in the 21st Century, with its theme Better City, Better Life. Just two years after the Beijing Olympics, Shanghai Expo encapsulated a moment in history defined by China’s rise as a global superpower, and by the multiple challenges associated with developing more sustainable cities. The thirteen essays here, written by a team of interdisciplinary researchers, offer a uniquely detailed analysis of this globally significant event. Chapters examine displays of futurity and utopia, the limitations of inter-cultural dialogue, and the ways in which this mega-event reflected its geo-political and cultural moment. Shanghai Expo also concentrates on the interplay between declarations towards urban sustainability, and the recent economic, demographic and socio-political trajectories of Shanghai and China more broadly. It will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, history, politics, international relations, economics, Asian studies, China studies, sustainability, and urban studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →When Expo 2019 Beijing came to a close on October 9, 2019, it was hailed one of the most successful expos in history. Adopting ‘Live Green, Live Better’ as its theme, the International Horticultural Exhibition Beijing revolved around a philosophy of horticulture as central to helping humanity rediscover the principles of ecological civilization. With environmentalism at its heart, the event aimed to highlight the need for unity among the global community in tackling climate-related issues, and the wider challenges facing humanity. Beijing’s expo welcomed more than nine million visitors over the course of six months. In that time, rich dialogue took place between millions of attendees, more than 110 participating countries and international organizations, and around 2,000 VIP visiting groups. The exhibition’s influence was felt far beyond Beijing, with two billion online visitors. Setting the standard for future expos, Beijing Expo offers valuable lessons as Dubai puts the final touches to Expo 2020. This paper offers a detailed analysis of the many months of preparation and planning that went into Expo 2019 Beijing, exploring its guiding principles and the key factors in its success, such as a scientific approach to its design and robust organizational practices. The paper also considers the overall impact of Beijing expo, as both a model for others to follow and an inspirational example of a major event that was able to galvanize the international community behind an important cause.
