Sinopsis

Tunnel Boring Machines explores the fascinating world of underground infrastructure, focusing on the technology and engineering behind Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). It highlights how these machines are crucial for modern urban development, facilitating efficient transportation networks. The book emphasizes geological considerations and sustainable construction practices, offering insights into how tunnels are integrated into the architectural landscape of our cities. Did you know that the evolution of tunneling advanced from manual methods to sophisticated automated systems? The book uniquely integrates architectural design principles into tunnel engineering, emphasizing the importance of aesthetically pleasing and functional tunnel portals, ventilation systems, and emergency egress strategies. It addresses the engineering challenges of tunneling in diverse environments, such as soft ground and hard rock, and also covers ground support techniques and risk management. It is structured into three parts, beginning with the fundamentals of tunnel boring, then covering engineering challenges, and concluding with architectural integration. This comprehensive overview connects diverse fields such as geology, environmental science, and urban planning to provide a holistic approach to tunnel design and construction. By examining case studies and technological innovations, the book demonstrates the economic benefits associated with underground infrastructure projects. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how TBMs and tunneling are vital for sustainable urban planning and infrastructure development.

    In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions: Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat? Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label? Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox? Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol? Should I be taking vitamin D?

    In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering. 
     
     
      
    Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning. 
     
     
      
    This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.

    This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle
