    Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Der Einsturz des Kölner Stadtarchivs machte 2009 deutlich, wie brüchig die Fundamente sind, auf denen unsere Gesellschaft ruht. Über der Erde zeigt die marode Leverkusener Rheinbrücke, in welch eklatanter Weise wir von einer funktionierenden Infrastruktur abhängig sind. Wenn sie versagt, spüren wir die Auswirkungen unmittelbar. Sonst aber bleibt der Unterbau des modernen Lebens meistens unsichtbar. Der Historiker Dirk van Laak betreibt in diesem Buch eine Archäologie des Alltags und seiner Routinen, um die im Verborgenen wirkenden Infrastrukturen zutage zu fördern. Er spannt den Bogen von den Römern, die in Köln ihre Abwasserleitungen verlegten, bis zu den heutigen Einrichtungen des Verkehrs, der Kommunikation, Versorgung und Entsorgung. In einer Großstadt wie Köln verschränken und verdichten sich die historisch gewachsenen Netzwerke in geradezu atemberaubender Weise. Man muss sich ihrer Existenz nur erst bewusst werden.…

    Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. Infrastruktur wird oft dann zum Thema, wenn sie unsere Erwartungen nicht erfüllt, sei es bei Stromausfällen, verspäteten Zügen oder Internetproblemen. Ihre Beschaffenheit und Bedeutung spiegeln sich in jahrhundertealten technischen Leistungen wider, wie dem Kanalbau in der Frühzeit der Industrialisierung oder den ersten elektrischen Leitungen im 19. Jahrhundert. Die Bedürfnisse, auf denen sie basiert, haben sich zwar verändert, doch die Zufriedenheit mit Infrastruktur wird weiterhin an ihrer Zugänglichkeit, Leistungsfähigkeit und Verlässlichkeit gemessen. Dirk van Laak betrachtet Konstrukteure, Nutzende und Kritiker von Infrastruktur nicht nur aus technischer Sicht, sondern hinterfragt auch ihre Rolle im gesellschaftlichen Gefüge der westlichen Welt. Dabei analysiert er Infrastruktur als Motor von Urbanisierung, Vernetzung und Globalisierung sowie als Grundlage sozialer Interaktion. Er beleuchtet die Ambivalenz von Avantgarde und Reformbedarf, das Zusammenspiel privater und öffentlicher Akteure und die Konsequenzen einer bedrohten Infrastruktur für die globalisierten Gesellschaften des 21. Jahrhunderts, die in nahezu jeder Hinsicht auf das Funktionieren dieser Versorgungslinien angewiesen sind.…

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A comprehensive history and examination of global infrastructures and the outsized role they play in our lives.A comprehensive history and examination of global infrastructures and the outsized role they play in our lives.Infrastructure is essential to defining how the public functions, yet there is little public knowledge regarding why and how it became today's strongest global force over government and individual lives. Who should build and maintain infrastructures? How are they to be protected? And why are they all in such bad shape? In Lifelines of Our Society, Dirk van Laak offers broad audiences a history of global infrastructures-focused on Western societies, over the past two hundred years-that considers all their many paradoxes. He illustrates three aspects of infrastructure: their development, their influence on nation building and colonialism, and finally, how individuals internalize infrastructure and increasingly become not only its user but regulator.Beginning with public works, infrastructure in the nineteenth century carried the hope that it would facilitate world peace. Van Laak shows how, instead, it transformed to promote consumerism's individual freedoms and our notions of work, leisure, and fulfillment. Lifelines of Our Society reveals how today's infrastructure is both a source and a reflection of concentrated power and economic growth, which takes the form of cities under permanent construction. Symbols of power, van Laak describes, come with vulnerability, and this book illustrates the dual nature of infrastructure's potential to hold nostalgia and inspire fear, to ease movement and govern ideas, and to bring independence to the nuclear family and control governments of the Global South. "A global history of modern infrastructures covering two centuries of historical dynamics from all over the world"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
