Sinopse

"Vertical Farm Homes" explores integrating agriculture into residential tower design as a key component of sustainable urban development. This approach seeks to address food security and reduce environmental impact in densely populated areas. The book highlights how advancements in hydroponics, aeroponics, and lighting technologies make incorporating farming into homes increasingly viable. It uniquely focuses on the architectural integration of agriculture within residential spaces, contrasting with approaches that concentrate on large-scale commercial operations. The book examines the architectural and engineering challenges, as well as the social and economic implications of vertical farm homes.

 
Did you know that localized food production can reduce the environmental footprint associated with food transportation? Or that integrating farming into daily life can foster stronger community bonds?

 
Using case studies and innovative building designs, the book presents a balanced assessment of the benefits and challenges.

 
The book begins with core concepts of vertical farming and sustainable architecture. It then delves into technical aspects like structural support and climate control, before exploring social and economic dimensions, and concluding with practical guidelines for implementation of vertical farm home projects. This progression offers a holistic understanding of how to create more resilient and community-oriented urban environments.

Planetary Systems - A Very Short...

Raymond T. Pierrehumbert

Not long ago, the Solar System was the only example of a planetary system—a star and the bodies orbiting it—that we knew. Now, we know thousands of planetary systems, and have even been able to observe planetary systems at the moment of their birth. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction explores this new frontier, incorporating the latest research. The book takes the listener on a journey through the grand sweep of time, from the moment galaxies begin to form after the Big Bang to trillions of years in the future when the Universe will be a dilute soup of dim galaxies populated mostly by red dwarf stars. Throughout, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert introduces the latest insights gained from a new generation of telescopes that catch planetary systems at the moment of formation, and to the theoretical advances that attempt to make sense of these observations. He explains how the elements that make up life and the planets on which life can live are forged in the interiors of dying stars, and make their way into rocky planets. He also explores the vast array of newly discovered planets orbiting stars other than our own, and explains the factors that determine their climates. Finally, he reveals what determines how long planetary systems can live, and what happens in their end-times.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Healthcare is one of the most essential pillars of modern society, yet it remains one of the most controversial and deeply flawed systems worldwide. While medical advancements have saved countless lives, the way healthcare is structured and delivered often leaves patients struggling with high costs, limited access, and inconsistent quality of care. The system, which is supposed to heal and protect, frequently feels more like a business prioritizing profit over people.
Across the globe, healthcare models vary significantly. Some countries provide universal healthcare, ensuring that all citizens have access to medical services without financial hardship. Others rely on privatized, insurance-based systems that leave many individuals burdened with medical debt or forced to forgo necessary treatments. Regardless of the model, most systems share a common problem—inefficiencies, corruption, and a lack of patient-centered care.
One of the most alarming aspects of modern healthcare is its commercialization. In many nations, medical treatment has become a commodity rather than a fundamental human right. Pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, and hospital networks have turned healthcare into a multi-trillion-dollar industry, often at the expense of those who need it most. Prescription drug prices skyrocket without justification, insurance policies are riddled with loopholes designed to deny coverage, and hospitals charge exorbitant fees for basic services. Instead of prioritizing patient well-being, financial incentives drive medical decisions, sometimes leading to unnecessary procedures, overprescription of medications, and inequitable access to care.
