Sinopsis

"Disaster Ready Cities" highlights the critical role of urban planning in preparing for natural disasters. With growing urban populations concentrated in vulnerable areas, understanding and mitigating risks from earthquakes, hurricanes, and extreme weather events is more crucial than ever. The book emphasizes proactive strategies, informed by earth sciences and geographic factors, to transform cities into resilient communities. Interestingly, reactive disaster response alone is insufficient; proactive planning saves lives, reduces property damage, and minimizes economic disruption.

 
The book progresses by first introducing key concepts like hazard, vulnerability, and resilience. It then analyzes specific risks and examines urban planning strategies for mitigation, such as land-use planning and resilient infrastructure design. Case studies of successful and unsuccessful city implementations are presented, culminating in a comprehensive framework for building disaster-ready cities.

 
The book's value lies in its practical, solutions-oriented approach, making complex information accessible to urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating safer communities.

  • Four Thousand Hooks - A True Story of Fishing and Coming of Age on the High Seas of Alaska - cover

    Four Thousand Hooks - A True...

    As Four Thousand Hooks opens, an Alaskan fishing schooner is sinking. It is the summer of 1972, and the sixteen-year-old narrator is at the helm. Backtracking from the gripping prologue, Dean Adams describes how he came to be a crew member on the Grant and weaves a tale of adventure that is like a novel—with drama, conflict, and resonant portrayals of halibut fishing, his ragtag shipmates, maritime Alaska, and the ambiguities of family life. 
     
     
     
    At sea, the Grant's crew teach Dean the daily tasks of baiting thousands of longline hooks and handling the catch, and on shore they lead him through the seedy bars and guilty pleasures of Kodiak. Exhausted by twenty-hour workdays and awed by the ocean's raw power, he observes examples of human courage and vulnerability and emerges with a deeper knowledge of himself and the world. 
     
     
     
    Four Thousand Hooks is both an absorbing adventure story and a rich ethnography of a way of life and work that has sustained Northwest families for generations. This coming of age story will appeal to listeners including young adults and anyone interested in ocean adventures, commercial fishing, maritime life, and the Northwest coast.

    What is the role of activists and civil society in defining and defending the collective good in healthcare, especially in cases where that good seems to be heavily shaped by market dynamics? Presenting conceptual and empirical studies from a variety of healthcare contexts and theoretical perspectives, this book addresses this vital question by drawing together multidisciplinary scholarship from science and technology studies, sociology, organization studies, marketing, philosophy, and public health. 
     
     
     
    Healthcare has undergone three major changes over the past decades: the advent of personalized medicine, the marketization of public care systems, and the digitalization of healthcare services. This book maps these changes and illustrates the extent to which they are interlinked to produce a seemingly unstoppable move toward individualization in healthcare. The book also traces how activists react to these tensions to argue for and defend the common good. It thus sketches a multifaceted picture of healthcare activism in the twenty-first century as civil society responds to these dynamics at the crossroads of markets and morals, economic and social justifications, individual and collective, and digital and non-digital worlds. Crucially, it also highlights potential solutions in a post Covid-19 world.

    Upland - A Journey through Time...

    'Fascinating and lyrical . . . A beautifully written celebration of a lifelong passion' – Stephen Venables
    The relationship of people with hills and mountains has been complex, rich and varied – from awe and wonder to fear and loathing, from spiritual longing to peaceful acceptance.
    As he explores our high places, Ian Crofton conjures up those who have been there before: Neolithic axe-makers, mass trespassers, shepherds, quarrymen, botanists, poets and pioneering cragsmen and women among them. At the same time, he is ever attuned to the present moment – a flash of bright moss in a bog, the swoop of an eagle above a skyline, a winter sun sinking into a sea of cloud.
    Following an arc from the gentle Downs of southern England to the wild peaks of Scotland's far north, Upland combines personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history and nature of mountain landscapes, and the people who once worked and wandered among them. The result is a meditation on the enduring yet ever-changing hills, on the transience of human experience, and on the shifts and twists of time itself.

    The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction—Christian Living
    Outreach Resource of the Year
    The digital age is in the business of commodifying our attention. The technologies of our day are determined to keep us scrolling and swiping at all costs, plugged into a feedback loop of impatience, comparison, outrage, and contempt. Blind to the dangers, we enjoy its temporary pleasures, unaware of the damage to our souls.
    Jay Kim's Analog Church explored the ways the digital age and its values affect the life of the church. In Analog Christian, he asks the same question of Christian discipleship. As the digital age inclines us to discontentment, fragility, and foolishness, how are followers of Jesus to respond? What is the theological basis for living in creative resistance to the forces of our day? How can Christians cultivate the contentment, resilience, and wisdom to not only survive but to thrive as we navigate the specific challenges of our age?
