Sinopse

Floating Cities explores the innovative concept of constructing floating urban centers as a response to climate change and rising sea levels. As coastal cities face increasing threats, this book investigates whether these structures can offer a sustainable and resilient future. The book analyzes the engineering feasibility, environmental impact, and socioeconomic implications of these ambitious projects, recognizing both their potential and the challenges they present. For instance, while floating cities could provide secure housing, their construction and operation raise concerns about marine ecosystems and resource consumption.

The book methodically progresses from introducing the climate science driving the need for adaptation to examining various design concepts and real-world case studies, such as oil rigs and artificial islands. It then evaluates the environmental consequences, considering energy use, waste management, and effects on marine life. Socioeconomic challenges, including accessibility, affordability, and governance, are also addressed.

The book emphasizes that proactive adaptation, driven by technological advancements and careful planning, can mitigate the worst effects of climate change on vulnerable populations. Ultimately, the book champions the idea of floating cities as a worthwhile avenue for exploration, provided they are designed responsibly. It highlights the need for international cooperation and forward-thinking regulations to facilitate their responsible development.

This book offers a balanced assessment, moving beyond technological optimism to critically examine the environmental and societal considerations.

Subjected to Science - Human...

Susan E. Lederer

The first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the period "before Tuskegee"—from 1890 to 1940 
 
 
 
Long before the U.S. government began conducting secret radiation and germ-warfare experiments, and long before the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, medical professionals had introduced—and hotly debated the ethics of—the use of human subjects in medical experiments. In Subjected to Science, Susan Lederer provides the first full-length history of biomedical research with human subjects in the earlier period, from 1890 to 1940. 
 
 
 
Lederer offers detailed accounts of experiments—benign and otherwise—conducted on both healthy and unhealthy men, women, and children, including the yellow fever experiments (which ultimately became the subject of a Broadway play and Hollywood film), Udo Wile's "dental drill" experiments on insane patients, and Hideyo Noguchi's syphilis experiments, which involved injecting a number of healthy children and adults with the syphilis germ, luetin.
