Sinopsis

Fierce Winds Bend delves into the crucial topic of hurricane resilience for coastal populations facing the increasing threats of climate change. The book emphasizes comprehensive shelter strategies and adaptive planning as key components for minimizing loss of life and community disruption. It highlights the importance of understanding both the meteorological dynamics of hurricanes and the socio-economic factors influencing a community's ability to withstand these severe weather events. For instance, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale’s evolution reflects our growing ability to categorize and prepare for these storms. 

 
The book progresses from establishing a scientific and historical context of hurricanes to examining shelter design principles and the importance of evacuation planning and community education. A unique aspect is its focus on adaptive planning, acknowledging the constantly evolving behavior of hurricanes and the need for preparedness plans to remain flexible. Through case studies and data, the book offers a framework for communities to assess their vulnerability and develop comprehensive hurricane resilience plans applicable to emergency management and urban planning.

    An accessible and enjoyabel way to develop the thinking tools and techniques to understand the math of modern life.When we learn about abstract mathematical concepts—from prime numbers and fractals to aspects of calculus—the most common question is often: when on earth will I need this? To many of us, so-called "pure" mathematics is downright baffling. Yet these concepts are what underpin the world we live in, from internet security to the transmission of radio waves. When you start to think like a mathematician, the secrets of technology and modern life suddenly make sense.Junaid Mubeen regards mathematics as a collection of thinking tools that can enrich the way we approach our everyday lives. In Think Like a Mathematician, he presents a catalogue of enlightening mathematical concepts. Some will be familiar from school, but the majority are ideas that listeners will not have encountered before. And anyone—from mathematicians to self-proclaimed mathophobes—can learn from them. In Mubeen's clear prose, all of these ideas are easy to grasp, and may even reshape the way you see the world.
