Sinossi

"Subway Systems" offers a fascinating journey through the evolution of underground railways, starting with London's groundbreaking 1863 system and extending to today's sophisticated transit networks. This comprehensive exploration examines how subway systems have fundamentally transformed urban landscapes, human mobility, and social dynamics across major metropolitan areas worldwide.

 
The book masterfully weaves together the technical aspects of subway engineering with compelling stories of urban development and social change. Through carefully researched case studies of iconic systems like Paris's Métro and Moscow's ornate stations, readers discover how different cities adapted underground railway technology to their unique geographical and cultural needs.

 
The narrative seamlessly progresses from early construction methods, such as the cut-and-cover technique used in London and New York, to modern innovations in tunnel boring and automated operations. Particular attention is paid to critical technological transitions, including the shift from steam to electric power and the integration of computer-controlled systems.

 
The book distinguishes itself by connecting historical developments with contemporary challenges, making complex engineering concepts accessible to both specialists and general readers. Drawing from municipal archives, engineering documents, and historical records, it presents a multidisciplinary view of how subway systems have influenced everything from architectural styles to theories of urban planning.

 
The work concludes with a forward-looking analysis of future trends, including automation and environmental sustainability, offering valuable insights for urban planners, engineers, and policymakers alike.

  • Invisible Loss - Recognizing and Healing the Unacknowledged Heartbreak of Everyday Grief - cover

    Invisible Loss - Recognizing and...

    From an acclaimed grief educator and the author of Second Firsts and Where Did You Go? comes a road map to recognize and heal the unspoken, often misunderstood experience of everyday loss, so you can finally reenter and live your life in full.“Compared to most, my problems are small. I should be happy with what I’ve got.” Our inner judge often tells us grief is “allowed” for big losses, but that we should tough out everyday heartbreak. The loss of a loved one and a devastating divorce are likely to be accepted as grief events. But what about moments when we feel overlooked, disregarded, or misunderstood? This could look like rejection in the workplace, lack of intimacy in a relationship, being overlooked by friends, or working in a position that’s not a dream job. “These are losses society doesn’t recognize, mirror back to us, or validate,” says acclaimed grief educator Christina Rasmussen. “As a result, we don’t recognize or validate them either.” This unacknowledged type of grief—invisible losses that are often labeled as not worthy of recognition—can be hard to define and may surface as feelings of anxiety, depression, angst, or restlessness. These are the moments when we shift perception of ourselves and can end up living in continuous survival mode, without really recognizing or understanding why. In Invisible Loss, Rasmussen shines a light on this unrecognized form of grief. Because we avoid invisible loss, we don’t process it; instead, we seek the protection of an endless “waiting room” in the hope that time will heal our wounds. Here, Rasmussen helps you meet your loss, free from shame or guilt, to explore:• The origin of your invisible loss and how you’ve coped along the way• The five life reentry phases based on the Life Reentry® Model• Exercises to help you find your way out of the waiting room• Guidance in reframing your thoughts toward your original self“The entire world is silently grieving, attempting to process a form of heartbreak unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. We need a new language and road map for our invisible losses,” says Rasmussen. This guide gives you the tools you need in order to heal, move forward, and embrace the life you were meant to lead.

     “Excellent. . . .The book gives one a clear understanding of the relationship of Guevara's thought to traditional Russian and Marxist philosophy.” —Choice Reviews   In this seminal exploration of Che Guevara’s contributions to Marxist thinking, Michael Löwy traces Che's ideas about Marxism both as they related to Latin America and to more general philosophical, political, and economic issues. Now revised and updated, this edition includes a chapter on Guevara's search for a new paradigm of socialism and a substantive essay by Peter McLaren on Che’s continued relevance today. Löwy portrays Guevara as a revolutionary humanist who considered all political questions from an internationalist viewpoint. For him, revolutionary movements in Latin America were part of a world process of emancipation. Löwy considers especially Che's views on the contradiction between socialist planning and the law of value in the Cuban economy and his search for an alternative road to the “actually existing socialism” of the Stalinist and post-Stalinist Soviet bloc. Che’s varied occupations—doctor and economist, revolutionary and banker, agitator and ambassador, industrial organizer and guerrilla fighter—were expressions of a deep commitment to social change. This book eloquently captures his views on humanity, his contributions to the theory of revolutionary warfare, and his ideas about society’s transition to socialism, offering a cohesive, nuanced introduction to the range of Guevara's thought.   “An excellent classroom tool for anyone teaching about Latin America or revolution.” ―Science & Society “[This book] provides us with the picture of [Guevara’s] great, flexible, and searching mind.” —Carleton Beals   “Michael Löwy’s brief but penetrating book takes Che Guevara not as a romantic adventurer but as a serious revolutionary militant.” ―Telos
