Planning is currently a male profession, but an analysis of a century of town planning reveals this to be a new development; women have been central to the planning movement since it began. Women and Planning is the first comprehensive history and analysis of women and the planning movement, covering the philosophical, practical and policy dimensions of `planning for women'. Beyond the marginalization of women, modern, scientific planning hides a story of past links with eugenics, colonialism, artistic, utopian and religious movements and the occult. Central to the discussion is the questioning of how male planners have rewritten planning in their own image, projecting patriarchal assumptions in their creation of `urban realities'. Issues of class, sexuality, ethnicity and disability are raised by the fundamental question of `Who is being planned for?'

This book explores the mysteries of the human brain and the potential of the mind. The peculiarities and infinitude of the mind have been a theme for research for scientists and philosophers alike, for centuries. This volume presents the unanswered and highly convoluted questions and hypotheses surrounding the human mind in a simplified way. It examines the binaries of religion and science, god and nature, and emotions and intelligence through a philosophical lens to posit that the relationships between cognition, belief, nature, and science are what we understand and infer based on our surroundings and how much we are willing to think, learn, and introspect. This book will be of interest to students of philosophy, psychology, science, popular science, psychoanalysis, cognitive studies, and mental health. It will also appeal to general readers.
