Sinopse

Cooling Materials explores innovative materials designed for passive cooling, offering a path to reduce reliance on energy-intensive air conditioning. Addressing the urgent need for sustainable building solutions, the book delves into radiative, evaporative, and conductive cooling techniques. Readers will discover how these materials, like cool pavements and green roofs, can combat the urban heat island effect and improve energy efficiency.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with heat transfer fundamentals before exploring specific cooling material technologies. Each chapter details material science, manufacturing, performance, and application, including integrated design strategies. It highlights how strategic use of passive cooling materials can shift building design towards cost-effective, environmentally sound alternatives, referencing historical uses of natural materials for thermal comfort alongside modern material science advancements.

 
This book's strength lies in its practical approach, offering guidance for selecting, implementing, and evaluating cooling technologies in building projects. It presents real-world case studies and performance metrics, making it valuable for architects, engineers, and urban planners seeking to create comfortable, sustainable buildings while addressing ongoing discussions on cost-effectiveness and long-term durability of cooling materials.

    “One of the best accounts of the reality of gentrification and urban development in China . . . grounded with solid historical, ethnographic and legal evidence” (Urban Studies). In recent decades, the centuries-old city of Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity. With its world famous skyscrapers, it now ranks with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. In Shanghai Gone, Qin Shao applies the concept of domicide—the eradication of a home against the will of its dwellers—to the sweeping destruction of neighborhoods, families, and life patterns that made way for the new Shanghai.   Shao gives voice to the holdouts and protesters who resisted domicide and demanded justice. She follows, among others, a reticent kindergarten teacher turned diehard petitioner; a descendant of gangsters and squatters who has become an amateur lawyer for evictees; and a Chinese Muslim who has struggled to recover his ancestral home in Xintiandi, an infamous site of gentrification dominated by a well-connected Hong Kong real estate tycoon.   Highlighting the wrenching changes spawned by China’s reform era, Shao vividly portrays the corrupt and rapacious pursuit of growth and profit, the personal wreckage it has left behind, and the enduring human spirit it has unleashed.

    Psychiatry - A Very Short...

    Psychiatry is an endlessly controversial endeavor, incorporating emotively-charged questions over the reality of mental illness, the medicalization of everyday life, and the role of nature versus nurture which cause constant discussion today, and on which almost everyone has an opinion.In this Very Short Introduction Tom Burns explores the nature of psychiatry, focusing on what it can and cannot do, and discussing why its history has been beset by dramatic shifts in emphasis and types of treatment. Considering the main disorders that have shaped its practice (such as schizophrenia and manic depression), he analyzes how it differs from (and overlaps with) psychology and psychotherapy. Many of the controversies arise from its dual origin 200 years ago and the separate development of psychiatry with a more 'medical' approach in the asylums, rather than the psychological approach which birthed psychoanalysis and various forms of psychotherapy. Discussing philosophical issues of psychiatry's legitimacy, Burns explores the mistakes psychiatry has made and the blind alleys in its history, before looking forward to the likely changes in its practice with the coming of artificial intelligence and virtual reality.

  • Build Test Learn - A Modern Method for Launching Products That Actually Work - cover

    Build Test Learn - A Modern...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Every product builder has felt the same hollow feeling. You spend months crafting something you believe in, polishing every edge case and perfecting every workflow, and then you release it into the world and hear nothing. No signups, no downloads, no emails. Just silence. The metrics dashboard stays flat. The support inbox stays empty. And you sit there staring at your creation wondering what went wrong. The numbers behind this pattern are brutal. CB Insights analyzed over 400 venture-backed startup failures and found that 43% of them died because there was no market need for their product. That was the single most common cause of death. 
     
    The traditional approach to product development is anchored in a dangerous assumption. We assume that if we build a high-quality solution, the demand for it will materialize. We assume that our own conviction about an idea is a reliable proxy for market demand. We assume that hard work in the building phase automatically translates into adoption in the launch phase. These assumptions are not just wrong. They are systematically wrong. This book offers a different path. The Build, Test, Learn methodology is a disciplined approach to product creation that prioritizes learning over output, experiments over features, and market signals over internal opinions. 
     
    Inside, you'll discover: 
    • The Build, Test, Learn mindset that replaces blind confidence with structured curiosity 
    • Problem identification techniques that find real market opportunities before you build 
    • Writing hypotheses that can actually be proven wrong by evidence 
    • The pretotype principle, testing ideas without building products 
    • Customer conversations that cut through bias and reveal genuine needs 
    • Choosing the right test for your risk and building experiments, not products 
    • Metrics that teach you something and knowing when data says no
