Sinossi

Underground Cities explores the burgeoning world beneath our feet, revealing how subterranean spaces are increasingly vital for urban life. Addressing resource constraints and environmental challenges, the book examines underground construction through the lenses of earth sciences, architecture, and geography. Discover how cities are utilizing subterranean areas for transportation networks like subways, housing solutions, and essential emergency preparedness infrastructure. The book highlights the critical need for sustainable urban development by delving into the geological considerations and architectural design principles required for creating habitable underground environments. For example, it addresses how strategic urban planning can transform underground spaces into resilient and efficient urban extensions.

 
Progressing from foundational concepts to detailed case studies, the book analyzes both the successes and failures of existing underground cities worldwide. The book’s unique value lies in its integrated approach, which connects geological surveys, architectural plans, and urban planning philosophies. It moves chapter by chapter from the principles of underground construction, to the specific uses for transit, housing and emergency preparedness, offering a comprehensive perspective on the future of urban spaces. This comprehensive exploration makes it a crucial resource for anyone interested in the future of urban environments and sustainable architectural design.

    This second edition has been revised and expanded, offering updated material and further insight into this profoundly draining condition.   
    Although I am both a medically qualified and an academic doctor, I do not purport to write this book as a trained psychiatrist or psychologist, of which I am neither. I do, however, claim to be an experienced, consultant-level, medical professional who has, in the past, suffered from panic attacks related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which I developed many, many years ago now. Consequently, I am very familiar with the subject matter, have been in your shoes, and am able to view the problem from both ends of the spectrum.  The purpose of this book is to provide you, the reader, with an enhanced understanding of panic attacks and anxiety, their causes, and their main features. Additionally, it is designed to embed within you an attitude that enables you to reclaim the authority or self-control that panic and anxiety may have stripped away. Despite what you may be feeling now, always appreciate that it is neither our anxieties nor our panic that define who we really are.  
    In this book you will find an awesome weapon that will help you change the way you relate to anxiety and panic and ultimately dominate them. Having said that, the reader should keep in mind that the road to recovery may not be a straight or comfortable one. Ups and downs, twists, and turns will be part of the journey. However, rest assured that you will find your way to a life free of anxiety and panic when you achieve the attitude alteration and concept lock-in presented in this book. Know that when it comes to defeating anxiety and panic, Knowledge is Truly king

    To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? 
     
     
     
    In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.
