It highlights the science behind coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and geomagnetic disturbances, explaining how these phenomena can induce geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) that cripple power grids and communication networks. The book draws on historical events like the Carrington Event and the Quebec blackout to illustrate the potential severity of these solar events.

 
The book uniquely combines scientific analysis with practical advice, examining the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure like the power grid and satellite systems. It then proposes actionable strategies for survival at individual, community, and governmental levels.

 
The book progresses from explaining the science behind solar storms to assessing infrastructure vulnerabilities and finally offering preparedness measures. Ultimately, Solar Storm Survival emphasizes that proactive planning is crucial to mitigating the catastrophic consequences of solar storms. It challenges the misconception that solar storms are a distant threat and stresses the urgent need for awareness and action, empowering readers with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate this significant technological risk.

Designing for Democracy - How to...

Jennifer Forestal

How should we "fix" digital technologies to support democracy instead of undermining it? In Designing for Democracy, Jennifer Forestal argues that accurately evaluating the democratic potential of digital spaces means studying how the built environment—a primary component of our "modern public square"—structures our activity, shapes our attitudes, and supports the kinds of relationships and behaviors democracy requires. 
 
 
 
While many scholars and practitioners are attentive to the role of design in shaping behavior, they have yet to fully engage with the question of what structures are required to support democratic communities—and how to build them. Forestal closes this gap by providing a new theory of democratic space. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, she argues that "democratic spaces" must be designed with three environmental characteristics—boundaries, durability, and flexibility—that, taken together, afford users the ability to engage in fundamental civic practices. 
 
 
 
Through extended analyses of Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, Forestal shows precisely how well these digital platforms meet the criteria for democratic spaces, or whether they do so at all. The result is a nuanced analysis of the democratic communities that form—or fail to emerge—in these spaces, as well as more concrete suggestions for how to improve them.

Assessing the management of outbreaks of diseases such as influenza, HIV/AIDS, cholera, and COVID-19, they provide specific examples to illustrate why major diseases still threaten populations all over the world.
