China's urban billion : the story behind the biggest migration in human history / by Miller, Tom(Journalist),author.(CARDINAL)429023;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 180-186) and index.Introduction : the biggest migration in human history -- By the sweat of their brows : the people who built urban China -- Passport to purgatory : fixing the Hukou system -- Farm versus factory : the battle over land -- The construction orgy : paving the fields -- Ghost towns in the desert : how China builds its cities -- A billion wallets : what china's new urbanites will and won't buy -- Conclusion : civilizing the cities."By 2030, China's cities will be home to 1 billion people one in every eight people on earth. What kind of lives will China's urban billion lead? And what will China's cities be like? Over the past thirty years, China's urban population expanded by 500 million people, and is on track to swell by a further 300 million by 2030. Hundreds of millions of these new urban residents are rural migrants, who lead second-class lives without access to urban benefits. Even those lucky citizens who live in modern tower blocks must put up with clogged roads, polluted skies and cityscapes of unremitting ugliness. The rapid expansion of urban China is astonishing, but new policies are urgently needed to create healthier cities. Combining on-the-ground reportage and up-to-date research, this pivotal book explains why China has failed to reap many of the economic and social benefits of urbanization, and suggests how these problems can be resolved. If its leaders get urbanization right, China will surpass the United States and cement its position as the world's largest economy. But if they get it wrong, China could spend the next twenty years languishing in middle-income torpor, its cities pockmarked by giant slums."--Publisher's description.

Living on the wind : across the Hemisphere with migratory birds / by Weidensaul, Scott.(CARDINAL)198247;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 375-398) and index.Beringia -- A far-flung tapestry -- The way south -- Riding the sea wind -- Rivers of hawks -- La selva maya -- Hopping Dick and Betsy kick-up -- Aguilucheros -- When anywhere is better than home -- Uneasy neighbors -- The Gulf express -- Heartland -- Hopscotch -- Catching the wave -- Trouble in the woods."Bird migration is the one truly unifying natural phenomenon in the world, stitching the continents together in a way that even the great weather systems, which roar out from the poles but fizzle at the equator, fail to do. Scott Weidensaul follows the awesome kettles of hawks over the Mexican coastal plains, the bar-tailed godwits that hitchhike on gale winds 6,000 miles nonstop across the Pacific from Alaska to New Zealand, and the myriad songbirds whose numbers have dwindled so drastically in recent decades. Migration paths form an elaborate global web that shows serious signs of fraying, and Weidensaul delves into the tragedies of habitat degradation and deforestation with an urgency that brings to life the vast problems these miraculous migrants now face."--Jacket

Rivermouth : a chronicle of language, faith, and migration / by Oliva, Alejandra,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-295)."Rivermouth is a polemic arguing for porous borders, a decriminalization of immigration, a more open sense of what we owe one another, and a willingness to extend radical empathy"--In Rivermouth, Oliva focuses on the physical spaces that make up different phases of immigration, looking at how language and opportunity move through each of them: from the river as the waterway that separates the U.S. and Mexico, to the table as the place over which Oliva prepares asylum seekers for their Credible Fear Interviews, and finally, to the wall as the behemoth imposition that runs along America's southernmost border. With lush prose and perceptive insight, Oliva encourages readers to approach the painful questions that this crisis poses with equal parts critique and compassion. By which metrics are we measuring who "deserves" American citizenship? What is the point of humanitarian systems that distribute aid conditionally? What do we owe to our most disenfranchised?

The rise of African slavery in the Americas / by Eltis, David,1940-(CARDINAL)280689;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-338) and index.Slavery and freedom in the early modern world -- The English, the Dutch, and transoceanic migration -- Europeans and African slavery in the Americas -- Gender and slavery in the early modern Atlantic world -- Productivity in the slave trade -- Africa and Europe in the early modern era -- The African impact on the transatlantic slave trade -- The English plantation Americas in comparative perspective -- Ethnicity in the early modern Atlantic world -- Europe and the Atlantic slave systems -- Epilogue on abolition."Why were the countries with the most developed institutions of individual freedom also the leaders in establishing the most exploitative system of slavery that the world has ever seen? In seeking to provide new answers to this question, The Rise of African Slavery in the Americas examines the development of the English Atlantic slave system between 1650 and 1800. The book outlines a major African role in the evolution of the Atlantic societies before the nineteenth century and argues that the transatlantic slave trade was a result of African strength rather than African weakness. It also addresses changing patterns of group identity to account for the racial basis of slavery in the early modern Atlantic World. Exploring the paradox of the concurrent development of slavery and freedom in the European domains, David Eltis provides a fresh interpretation of this difficult historical problem. Winner of the Frederick Douglass Prize." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam029/99013352.html.
