Sinopse

"Desert Cities" explores how to create thriving, sustainable urban centers in arid environments. It examines the crucial interplay between urban development, environmental sustainability, and human innovation.

 
The book highlights adaptive architecture designed to minimize heat and maximize natural ventilation, alongside strategies for sustainable resource management like water conservation and renewable energy use. Did you know ancient desert civilizations used ingenious irrigation systems? And that today's cities blend traditional knowledge with modern tech?

 
The book emphasizes a holistic approach integrating architectural design, resource management, and climate change adaptation. It progresses from foundational concepts in desert climatology and the history of desert urbanization to case studies of contemporary desert cities. These cities are analyzed through earth sciences, geography, and architectural principles.

 
By understanding the unique challenges of arid landscapes and leveraging both time-tested wisdom and technological innovation, the book argues, it is possible to build urban centers that are both environmentally sound and economically vibrant.

    Farmers in some of the world's oldest agricultural areas were toiling year after year, only to find that modern industrial agriculture was turning on itself. Industrial agriculture's effects on our climate and environment were multiplying and worsening, until the very families growing the world's food were starving. 
     
     
     
    They terraced the land to catch more rainwater and prevent soil runoff; they planted a diverse range of vegetables that would balance the nutrients in the soil; they replaced commercial fertilizers with organic matter from their own farms; they planted more trees and drought-resistant grains; and, perhaps most importantly, they taught their communities by example that these regenerative farming methods paid off—both in nourishing their families and in bringing their land back to life. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning author and journalist Roger Thurow has traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, India, Guatemala, Peru, and the United States to share their stories, highlighting the conflicts inherent in our most important human endeavor: feeding the world using the methods of industrial agriculture is stripping the land of its ability to feed future generations. But these farmers are starting a new kind of revolution, nourishing both humans and the land, and following their lead could help us solve one of the great crises of our time.

    Stalking the Great Killer is the story of Arkansas's struggle to control tuberculosis, and how the state became a model in its treatment of the disease. 
     
     
     
    To place the story of tuberculosis in Arkansas in historical perspective, the authors trace the origins of the disease. Arkansas suffered some of the worst ravages of the disease, and the authors argue that many of the improvements in the state's medical infrastructure grew out of the desperate need to control it. 
     
     
     
    In the early twentieth century, Arkansas established a sanatorium and thirty years later, the segregated Black sanitorium. These institutions helped slow the disease but at a cost: removed from families and communities, patients suffered from the isolation. Joseph Bates saw this when he delivered an uncle to the sanitorium in the 1940s. In the 1960s, Bates, now a physician, and his colleague Paul Reagan overcame a resistant medical-political system to develop a new approach to treating the disease. 
     
     
     
    In the age of Covid-19, this history offers valuable lessons about community involvement in public health, the potential efficacy of public-private partnerships, and the importance of leadership in the battle to eradicate disease.
