Sinossi

"Compact Cities" addresses the pressing issue of urban sprawl by advocating for high-density, sustainable urban environments. It challenges the assumption that sprawling suburbs are the ideal living environment, presenting compact urban design as a pathway to resource optimization and reduced ecological footprint. The book explores how well-planned compact cities can minimize environmental damage and foster vibrant, livable communities.

 
Intriguing facts include how urban sprawl contributes to climate change and the social isolation experienced by car-dependent populations. The book examines the evolution of urban planning, highlighting the environmental and social consequences of low-density development. It emphasizes the need for integrated approaches to urban planning and offers case studies of successful compact cities worldwide.

 
These examples showcase the integration of green spaces, efficient public transportation, and mixed-use developments that promote walkability and social interaction. The book progresses from fundamental concepts to detailed analyses, culminating in a framework for implementing compact urban development in diverse contexts.

The Little Book of Data -...

Justin Evans

Read by the author.  
Data is not about number crunching. It’s about ideas. And when used properly (read: ethically), it is the problem solver of our time. 
Yet many savvy people seem to be in data denial: they don’t think they need to understand data, or it’s too complicated, or worse, using it is somehow unethical. Yet as data and AI (just an accelerated way to put data to work) move to the center of professional and civic life, every professional and citizen needs to harness this power. 
In The Little Book of Data, each chapter illustrates one of the core principles of solving problems with data by featuring an expert who has solved a big problem with data—from the entrepreneur creating a “loneliness score” to the epidemiologist trying to save lives by finding disease “hotspots.” 
The stories are told in a fast-moving, vivid, sometimes comic style, and cover a wide frame of reference from adtech to climate tech, the bubonic plague, tiny submarines, genomics, railroads, bond ratings, and meat grading. (That’s right. Meat.) 
Along the way Evans injects lessons from his own career journey and offers practical thought-starters for readers to apply to their own organizations. 
By reading The Little Book of Data, you will achieve the fluency to apply your data superpowers to your own mission and challenges—and you will have fun along the way. 
You will be, in other words, a data person.

NASA’s Space Race Programs: The...

Editors Charles River

Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration. 
The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade. Landing on the Moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government’s urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). In 1957, at a time when people were concerned about communism and nuclear war, many Americans were dismayed by news that the Soviet Union was successfully launching satellites into orbit. 
Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions. Of course, by the time it was all done, Americans sure felt the cost was worth it as they watched the first live shots of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the Moon. As he left his first footprint on the Moon, Armstrong transmitted one of the 20th century’s most famous phrases: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
