Sinopse

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.

    Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Professor Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, explores the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness. 
     
    While the car has been marketed as a symbol of "freedom", the authors convincingly argue that it has limited the flourishing of our cities and restricted our choices. How can we fix our toxic relationship with cars? The authors offer a new way of thinking that promises to multiply your choices, improve your city, and expand your freedoms.  
     
    Inside the book, you'll find real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars; philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike; a catalogue of ideas and approaches for urban designers, transport planners, policymakers, and mayors; and much more. 
     
    Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, drivers, environmentalists, urbanists, and policymakers―anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.

    Leaders, don't let AI get the best of you. 
     
     
     
    AI is coming fast and will affect every part of a business, including the role of the leader. And up until now, leaders have largely ceded their role in the transformation—pushing determination of strategy out to tech teams and leaving investment decisions with groups that don't have a full view of the organization. Just when responsible leadership is more imperative than ever, leaders are not stepping up to understand and execute in the new world of human-machine collaboration. A generation of AI transformation failures awaits if leaders don't connect their use of AI to their strategies. 
     
     
     
    This book helps leaders retake control of the wildly rapid deployment of AI across organizations. It outlines cleanly and concisely nine actions leaders need to take to successfully steward a transition to a more AI-centric future that will lead to growth for all—companies and workers—and avoid the kinds of mistakes that author David De Cremer has seen many early adopters already make. This is not a book about AI technology itself or the latest developments in machine learning but rather a clarion call for leaders to take their rightful place at the front of the AI revolution and lead their organization into the new world.
