Summary

Micro Roads explores a groundbreaking shift in architecture and urban planning: self-repairing road infrastructure. It highlights the potential of integrating technology like self-healing materials and micro-robotics to address the challenges of aging road infrastructure. Imagine roads that autonomously mend cracks using polymer asphalt infused with self-healing agents, or micro-robotic systems that detect and repair damage before it escalates. This approach promises to minimize disruptions, reduce maintenance costs, and create more sustainable urban environments.

 
The book begins by examining the limitations of current road construction and maintenance techniques. It then transitions into a detailed exploration of the science behind self-healing materials, including nanotechnology, and the engineering aspects of micro-robotic systems. Micro Roads delves into the ethical considerations and potential risks associated with deploying autonomous systems. It presents data on the cost-effectiveness and environmental impact of these technologies, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable infrastructure.

Steel: From Mine to Mill the...

Brooke C. Stoddard

Steel is the metal that built the modern world. When its formula was finally deciphered about 150 years ago, it began to flow from hearths in increasing amounts. It built railroads, steel ships, skyscrapers, and bridges around the world, in the process propelling the great powers of the world -- Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union -- into global economic dominance. 
In Steel, author Brooke C. Stoddard follows the fascinating story of iron and steel from pre-history through the Industrial Revolution and into the present age. Stoddard then dives into the world of modern steelmaking, joining the men and women who live in this world every day: he visits open-pit iron mines in the Mesabi Iron range, rides with 58,000 tons of iron ore on a thousand-foot ore boat from Duluth to Cleveland, climbs to the top of the country’s largest blast furnace, interviews workers as they toil next to their furnaces of liquid metal, and walks through the immense rolling mills where steel is pressed into products. 
The result is an extraordinary book about what many may think of as ordinary, but in reality is the metal that forms the backbone of modern civilization.

The Invisible Bond - Exploring...

PhD Dr. Patrick Fisher

She told me she hadn't left her apartment in eleven days. The grocery delivery sat inside the front door. She had eaten what she could reach from her bed. Her therapist had called twice; she let it go to voicemail. Then her dog pressed its body against her side—and something shifted.
The Invisible Bond is the first book in The Invisible Series by Dr. Patrick Fisher—clinician, researcher, and founder of TheraPetic. Built on original doctoral research at Walden University, this book goes beyond clinical data to capture what it actually feels like to manage anxiety with an emotional support animal by your side.
Through in-depth qualitative interviews with adults living with clinically significant anxiety, Dr. Fisher documents the themes that emerged: presence, routine, grounding, connection, and the quiet ways an animal can hold space for a person who is struggling.
This book is for clinicians seeking to better serve clients who rely on ESAs. For individuals navigating anxiety with an animal companion. For policymakers making decisions about rights they may not fully understand. And for anyone who has ever been told that needing an animal is a weakness rather than a strategy of survival.
The science has not changed. Cortisol still drops. Oxytocin still releases. The autonomic nervous system still responds. This book documents why—and what it means for the future of mental health care.
The Invisible Series continues with The Invisible Disability, The Invisible Law, The Invisible Prison, The Invisible Identity, and The Invisible Data.
