Sinopsis

"Public Transport Facts" offers a compelling journey through the evolution of mass transit systems, from horse-drawn carriages to modern metro networks, while examining their crucial role in urban development and social progress. The book uniquely combines historical analysis with contemporary insights, demonstrating how public transportation has shaped cities and continues to influence economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability.

 
Through carefully researched case studies and data from transport authorities worldwide, it illustrates how successful transit systems have transformed urban landscapes and improved community connectivity. The narrative progresses naturally through three main sections, beginning with a fascinating historical account of technological developments, from early omnibuses to electric trams and underground railways.

 
The middle section tackles present-day challenges in transit systems, including financing structures and accessibility concerns, while the final portion explores exciting innovations in autonomous vehicles and smart transit solutions. Throughout these sections, readers discover how London's pioneering underground system set global standards and how various cities have either succeeded or failed in implementing effective transit networks.

 
This comprehensive work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, weaving together urban planning principles, environmental science, and social equity considerations. Written in an accessible style that appeals to both professionals and engaged citizens, the book provides practical frameworks for evaluating transit systems while maintaining academic rigor. It effectively demonstrates how public transportation extends beyond mere mobility to become a fundamental driver of sustainable urban development, supported by extensive data on carbon emission reductions and economic benefits of transit-oriented growth.

    From popular math blogger and author of the underground bestseller Math With Bad Drawings, Change Is The Only Constant is an engaging and eloquent exploration of the intersection between calculus and daily life, complete with Orlin's sly humor and wonderfully bad drawings.   Change is the Only Constant is an engaging and eloquent exploration of the intersection between calculus and daily life, complete with Orlin's sly humor and memorably bad drawings. By spinning 28 engaging mathematical tales, Orlin shows us that calculus is simply another language to express the very things we humans grapple with every day -- love, risk, time, and most importantly, change. Divided into two parts, "Moments" and "Eternities," and drawing on everyone from Sherlock Holmes to Mark Twain to David Foster Wallace, Change is the Only Constant unearths connections between calculus, art, literature, and a beloved dog named Elvis. This is not just math for math's sake; it's math for the sake of becoming a wiser and more thoughtful human.

    The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds, became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle.  William T. Hornaday’s advocacy is credited with preserving the American bison from extinction.  This book, originally published in 1887, gives Mr. Hornaday's evidence of the Bison's impending extinction.  (Adapted from Wikipedia by Ann Boulais)
