Sinossi

Eco-Friendly Cities explores how sustainable urban planning can reverse environmental damage by integrating architectural and environmental strategies. It emphasizes the importance of mitigating pollution, expanding urban greenery, and adopting renewable energy sources to enhance the quality of life in urban centers. The book highlights the crucial role of holistic approaches, showcasing how forward-thinking urban policies improve environmental quality and resource efficiency. For instance, integrated green infrastructure and energy-efficient buildings are presented as key components of sustainable city design.

 
The book begins by outlining the environmental challenges facing cities, such as air and water pollution and the overuse of natural resources, and then presents the core principles of eco-friendly city design, including waste reduction strategies. Through diverse evidence, including scientific studies and architectural case studies, the book connects architecture, environmental science, and urban policy. It emphasizes integrating technological innovation with community-based solutions, like using smart technologies to optimize resource management.

 
The approach guides readers through a comprehensive understanding, progressing from core principles to case studies of successful implementations worldwide. The book culminates with policy recommendations for creating environmentally responsible cities, offering a fresh perspective that bridges the gap between theory and practice for a broad audience.

    Read by the author. 
Laugh until you cry with a much-needed dose of irreverent humor about why work stinks. 
Customers want you to magically produce something from the back room. Bosses schedule you on your day off. Corporate policies are mandated that make zero practical sense. Sound familiar? 
If you've ever worked in customer service (or any job, really), you know that everyone else—the customer, the boss, the company—is always right, and never the employee. Well, lucky for you, the "Angry Retail Guy" is more furious—and funnier—than ever in this hilariously unhinged guide to all the things we wish we could say out loud at work . . . without getting fired. In The Customer Is Always Wrong, you'll laugh (and maybe cry) at this rant-filled, illustrated attack on all the frustrating things that suck about work. 
Expanding on the ire-filled, laugh-out-loud viral videos that have made him a (whispered) workplace name, Scott Seiss joyfully eviscerates not only overbearing customers but every annoying aspect of work like purposeless job interview questions, debatable brand values, and the walking human trainwrecks that are our bosses. Scott guides you all the way from first applying to the job, to inevitably gritting your teeth and smiling on your last day when that one manager you despise says, “Come back and visit us!” 
The Customer Is Always Wrong is for anyone who:Is tired of their "raise" being as close as scientifically possible to 0 percentWants to tell their boss that not even the self-checkout machines want to work hereIs prepared to tell the next customer who asks to see the manager that the manager has no idea what's going on eitherCalls in sick whenever their PTO request is deniedBelieves entering a store five minutes before it closes should be illegalExplains, on a weekly basis, why someone can't use a coupon that expired 17 years agoIs physically repulsed by the phrase, "At this company, we're a family. . . ." 
  
This tongue-in-cheek commiseration for workers will make you laugh out loud at the things that drive you crazy in the workplace. With Scott's signature rants, funny anecdotes, and absurd musings, this book celebrates and empowers underpaid and overworked employees with an uproarious ode to what we really think about our jobs and the customers that come with them (except the ones who read this book, of course). 
Comics and graphics can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    St Gall Cathedral and Abbey Library

    St Gall cathedral was built in 1755–1770 as the church of the Benedictine monastery, which was dissolved in 1805. In the Middle Ages this church, erected on the site of the hermitage of St Gallus, was one of the most important monasteries in the western world. Today the Abbey Archive and Abbey Library still possess invaluable documentary evidence from that era. The Baroque monastery complex testifies to the flourishing of the prince-abbey in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church, like the adjacent abbey library, built after the plans of Peter Thumb and decorated by the best South German artists of the day, forms the monumental conclusion of a long series of Baroque abbey churches realised by Vorarlberg master builders. St Gall’s abbey district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the collections of the Abbey Library and Archive are included in the UNESCO World Documentary Heritage List.
