Sinopse

City Heat Islands explores the growing problem of urban heat islands (UHIs), where cities experience significantly higher temperatures than surrounding areas. This book investigates the causes behind this phenomenon, such as dark surfaces absorbing solar radiation and reduced vegetation cover, and its far-reaching consequences on public health, energy consumption, and air quality. Did you know that lower-income communities often suffer disproportionately from the adverse health effects of UHIs?

 
The book emphasizes the need for proactive interventions to build climate-resilient cities. The book uniquely integrates urban planning, architectural design, and policy initiatives to offer practical solutions for mitigating the UHI effect. It presents strategies like increasing urban vegetation with green roofs and using reflective materials to reduce solar absorption.

 
 Case studies from cities worldwide showcase successful implementations of these strategies. The book progresses by first establishing the fundamentals of UHIs, then delving into mitigation strategies, and finally presenting real-world examples, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in creating sustainable urban environments.

    How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth is a book of straight talk about what it really takes to become a day trader, and how to learn what you need to know. 
    Do you think you know what day trading is really about? If so, where did you get your information? Social media is full of people claiming that they made a killing on a stock. Just as many people will warn you to stay away from day trading because they lost everything on some "sure thing" that went bad in a hurry. 
    So what should you believe? How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth is the first book to talk candidly and in detail about how to become a day trader. It's written by me, Ross Cameron, the guy who turned $583 into more than $10 million. Though my results are not typical, they are fully verified and audited. I also have over one million subscribers who tune into my YouTube channel to watch me trade. They see both my winning trades and my losing ones. Yes, even I have days where I lose money. That's just the reality, and that's what I want to share with you.

    Gen Z's first "existential toolkit" for combating eco-guilt and burnout while advocating for climate justice. 
     
     
     
    A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The "climate generation"—late millennials and iGen, or Generation Z—is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire outcomes predicted by climate science. Those inheriting our planet's environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not have the skills to grapple with the feelings of powerlessness and despair that may arise when they confront this seemingly intractable situation. 
     
     
      
    Drawing on a decade of experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an "existential tool kit" for the climate generation. Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is the essential guidebook for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time.
