Synopsis

Summer Cooling Effects addresses the growing challenge of urban heat islands, exploring the role of urban greenery and reflective surfaces in creating more sustainable cities. The book highlights practical, evidence-based solutions for mitigating extreme heat, reducing energy consumption, and improving urban quality of life. Did you know strategic placement of urban greenery can cool cities through evapotranspiration and shading, while reflective surfaces reduce the absorption of solar radiation?

 
The book begins by establishing the context of rising global temperatures and the disproportionate impact on urban areas, reviewing the science behind the urban heat island effect. Moving through the implementation of urban forestry and green infrastructure, case studies illustrate successful strategies.

 
The book culminates with the integration of these strategies into broader urban planning frameworks, emphasizing the need for a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to urban climate resilience.

    The war instinct is part of human nature, but the means to fight war depend on technology. Alex Roland traces the co-evolution of technology and warfare from the Stone Age to the age of cyberwar, describing the inventions that changed the direction of warfare throughout history: from fortified walls, the chariot, battleships, and the gunpowder revolution to bombers, rockets, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and nuclear weapons.In the twenty-first century, new technologies continue to push warfare in unexpected directions, while warfare stimulates stunning new technological advances. Yet even now, the newest and best technology cannot guarantee victory. Brimming with dramatic narratives of battles and deep insights into military psychology, this book shows that although military technologies keep changing at great speed, the principles and patterns behind them abide.

    State Bird - A Cantankerous...

    From a beloved best-selling author, a surprising tale of avian elections, state rivalries, and the birds who definitely did not ask for this. 
    What were we thinking, a century ago, when we elected the cardinal or the mockingbird as our state’s official bird? Amy Stewart went looking for answers and found early conservationists imploring the public to admire birds, rather than shoot them; schoolchildren on their first trip to the ballot box; and exasperated women’s clubs urging lawmakers to name one bird that actually mattered to them. Along the way, bird primaries went off the rails, legislators treated debates like comic relief, and adults realized too late that children sometimes voted for the wrong bird. In this lighthearted history and travelogue, Stewart takes us to states that made brilliant and sometimes baffling choices, from Minnesota’s beloved loon to Hawaii’s imperiled nene to Delaware’s mythical blue hen—and asks if it’s time for a do-over. Beautifully illustrated with Stewart’s own portraits, State Bird makes a passionate case for why state birds matter in the twenty-first century.
