Summary

Scholarship Growth explores how the pursuit of historical knowledge has molded academic disciplines and public understanding. It examines the evolution of historical scholarship, from narrative accounts to analytical methodologies, and its impact on university history departments. The book reveals how these developments shape collective memory and national identity, illustrating that our understanding of the past is a dynamic process influenced by academic practices and societal values.

 
The book adopts a meta-historical approach, focusing on the history of history itself. By tracing the development of historical scholarship from the 19th century through the digital age, the book highlights the complex interplay of intellectual trends, institutional structures, and social forces. For example, the rise of postcolonial perspectives significantly altered historical narratives.

 
Structured in three parts, the book progresses from foundational concepts of historiography to the impact of historical scholarship on public historical awareness. It analyzes the role of history in shaping national narratives and influencing heritage preservation. This approach offers valuable insights for historians, graduate students, and anyone interested in the forces that shape our understanding of the past.

Shrink the City - The 15-Minute...

Natalie Whittle

Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
 
 
 
In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
 
 
 
From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
 
 
 
● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
 
 
 
● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
 
 
 
● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
 
 
 
This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.
