Dear Colleagues, Some of you might be interested in urban mobility in China and e-bikes. *New Book Announcement:* Urban Mobility in Modern China. The Growth of the E-bike <https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783319765891> *Dennis Zuev**, Nuertingen-Geislingen University, Germany** and Centre for Research and Studies in Sociology, CIES-ISCTE, Portugal* <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Urban-Mobility-Modern-China-bike/dp/3319765892> This book is an empirically rich case-study of what is currently the most popular alternative-fuel vehicle in the history of motorization – the electric two-wheeler (e-bike). The book provides insights into e-bike mobility in China and discusses politics, social practices and larger issues of mobility transition in urban China. Taking an accessible approach to the subject, the book identifies the main sociospatial conflicts regarding the use of e-bikes and discusses why electric two-wheeler mobility is important for the future of urban China and urban transportation globally. This book will be an invaluable read for urban geographers and transportation researchers, but also for academics and general readers interested in Chinese Studies, specifically in the area of urban mobility in China. *Table of Contents:* · Introduction: Towards an Understanding of E-bike Mobility in China <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-76590-7_1> · The Booming ‘Low-Tech’ <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-76590-7_2> · The Culture and Politics of E-bike Mobility in China <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-76590-7_3> · ‘*The Human Flesh Covering Steel*’: Materialities of E-bike Propelled Movement <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-76590-7_4> · Journeys and the Social Life of the E-bike <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-76590-7_5> · The Smart Ways Forward for the Electric Two-Wheeler <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-76590-7_6> With best wishes, Зуев Денис (канд.соц.наук) Dr. Dennis Zuev Lecturer, International Master Program *Sustainable Mobilities* <https://www.facebook.com/mobilitygermany/> – Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Umwelt, Nürtingen-Geislingen, Germany Researcher, Centre for Research and Studies in Sociology, CIES-ISCTE, Portugal Vice-President (research) ISA Research Committee 57 Visual Sociology <http://www.isa-sociology.org/en/research-networks/working-groups/wg03-visual-sociology/> <http://www.isa-sociology.org/en/research-networks/working-groups/wg03-visual-sociology/> <http://www.isa-sociology.org/en/research-networks/working-groups/wg03-visual-sociology/> ************************************************************* * Anthropology-Matters Mailing List * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * * To join this list or to look at the archived previous * * messages visit: * * https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/Anthropology-Matters * * If you have ALREADY subscribed: to send a message to all * * those currently subscribed to the list,just send mail to: * * [log in to unmask] * * * * Enjoyed the mailing list?
