  A Road Running Southward -...

  In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature. 
   
   
   
  A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

  Women Who Invented the Sixties -...

  Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
   
   
   
  In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
   
   
   
  Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.

  Urban Disaster Management -...

  Urban disasters have become an increasingly pressing concern as the world continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate. Cities, once seen as bastions of opportunity and progress, are now at the forefront of vulnerability to both natural and human-made catastrophes. The rapid growth of urban populations, coupled with poorly planned infrastructure and environmental challenges, has created a precarious landscape where the impact of disasters can be catastrophic. 
  One of the primary drivers of urban disaster risk is the sheer scale of urbanization. By 2050, it is estimated that nearly 70% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas. This rapid urban migration often leads to the expansion of informal settlements, where millions live in overcrowded conditions with inadequate access to basic services such as clean water, sanitation, and healthcare. These areas, typically located in hazard-prone zones like floodplains and unstable hillsides, are particularly vulnerable to disasters. When disasters strike, the lack of preparedness and resilience in these communities amplifies the loss of life and property. 
  Climate change further exacerbates the threat of urban disasters. Rising global temperatures are intensifying the frequency and severity of natural hazards, such as hurricanes, floods, heatwaves, and wildfires. Coastal cities, home to millions, face increasing risks from sea level rise and storm surges, threatening vital infrastructure and displacing large populations. Additionally, the interconnected nature of urban systems means that the failure of one critical system, such as electricity or transportation, can cascade into widespread disruptions, leaving cities paralyzed in the wake of a disaster.
