  Urban culture refers to the distinct set of social behaviors, art forms, lifestyles, and media influences that develop within city environments. It emerges as a dynamic fusion of tradition, innovation, and diversity, shaped by the unique social and economic forces that define urban living. Cities have long been sites of cultural evolution, where people from various backgrounds converge, bringing with them unique customs, beliefs, and practices that blend to form new cultural expressions. 
  The heart of urban culture lies in its capacity to adapt and transform in response to the ever-changing landscape of the city. From the rise of art movements to the proliferation of new media technologies, cities have always been incubators for creative thought and social change. They act as cultural magnets, attracting artists, musicians, performers, and intellectuals who seek the opportunities and inspiration that urban environments provide. In this sense, urban culture is a reflection of the collective experiences, struggles, and aspirations of city dwellers. 
  What sets urban culture apart from other forms of cultural expression is its diversity. Urban centers are often melting pots, where people from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds coexist. This diversity fosters a climate of cultural exchange and experimentation, leading to the development of new art forms, music genres, fashion trends, and social movements. Whether through street art, hip-hop, or the global influence of city-based fashion, urban culture is a driving force in shaping modern society.

  A World Unbroken explores an alternate history in which humanity never faced the devastation of plague. Through a series of deeply researched and humanized chapters, the book examines how uninterrupted population growth, stable communities, and the absence of mass mortality would have shaped every aspect of society, science, and culture. From art and architecture to law, migration, and the environment, each chapter delves into the ways in which continuity, rather than crisis, would have influenced the evolution of human experience. The narrative weaves together the threads of hope, fear, ambition, and innovation, offering a compelling vision of a world where progress is steady, traditions are preserved, and new challenges arise from abundance rather than loss.

  Skylab: The History and Legacy...

  During the Space Race, many people envisioned a future in which space travel would be a common undertaking for ordinary citizens. Just as riding in an airplane was once a daring endeavor, travel by rocket could be refined and made safer over time. That collective aspiration to someday take part in dreams NASA brought to life was integral to inspiring public interest in the space program. However, in the years following Apollo 11 in 1969, popular enthusiasm for space travel waned, and dreams of vacationing like the Jetsons gave way to more grounded goals. The level of interest NASA enjoyed would never again be comparable to the culturally defining moments of the agency’s most celebrated missions during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Programs.  
  	Nonetheless, in 1972 and 1973, NASA sent nine astronauts to spend extended periods of time living in a craft named Skylab, the very first experimental American space station. Though Skylab would not last long, and the International Space Station remains far more famous, Skylab’s history is one of ingenuity and challenge, as well as how NASA found itself without a mission after the triumph of the Apollo Program.
