Summary

Sustainable Cities explores how urban areas are becoming more environmentally responsible through technological innovations and policy implementations. Cities, while major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, are uniquely positioned to drive sustainability.

 
The book highlights that achieving genuine urban sustainability requires a holistic approach, integrating advancements like smart transportation systems and renewable energy with robust policy frameworks, moving beyond isolated green initiatives. For example, efficient waste management can transform urban refuse into a valuable resource, reducing landfill waste and generating energy.

 
The book examines the history of urbanization and its environmental impact, then unfolds across three sections. It introduces core concepts, delves into technological innovations such as smart transportation systems, and analyzes policy frameworks. Case studies of successful green initiatives provide practical examples.

 
The comprehensive approach makes it a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in urban sustainability, offering actionable insights into creating sustainable cities.

    From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
     
     
     
    In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

    A slippery reality farce based on following the money, an independent research facility with no particular disciplinary focus and no public sector grant money or foundation funding is doing its best to "sound kosher", let alone keep the operations flowing. An overworked lab sciences foundation director has been working tirelessly to keep funding coming in to the aging, if not otherwise obsolete, somewhat mediocre research facility, procuring the oddest of scientific studies.As read by the author, and narrator, author Ron Knight (national voice of Nickelodeon, The Travel Channel, ABC Sports Network Television, Prime and Sirius Satellite Radio, with background at Archie Comics and King Features/Hearst) spins us through the otherwise shaky dealings of an insecure science foundation, through "John Cleese inspired" high brow, low embarrassment status differentials, in this best of short form literature under 15 minutes. Taken from real life stories published in the New York Times, this real time mashup breaks improv sketch style comedy as first produced at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts' School for Film and Television, into the adapted audiobook narrative form. 5 characters, 4 male, 1 female, in addition to the main narrator role position. Published by the author's studio as short form audiobook.

    Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
     
     
     
    While most of us fly-fish to escape from daily life, for John Gierach and his friends fly-fishing IS a way of life. They are trout bums. But John Gierach is also an exceptional writer. The essays in Trout Bum are reflective, bitingly humorous, and enormously wise in the ways of fishing and men. In vivid, unforgettable detail they recount the emotional, spiritual, and tangible adventures and pleasures of stalking trout in and around the Rockies—day in, day out, from season to season, with friends, and alone. John Gierach's essays join the literary tradition of angling classics like The River Why, and A River Runs Through It.

    In this book, we will explore some of the most popular and fascinating animals that people choose to keep as pets. People have spent years studying and researching the behaviour, biology, and ecology of various domestic and exotic animals, including cats, dogs, horses, spiders, snakes, and stick insects. 
    Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature. Horses, on the other hand, have a long history of working alongside humans in various activities, including transportation, agriculture, and sports. 
    When it comes to exotic pets, spiders, snakes, and stick insects are some of the most intriguing animals to keep. These creatures may not be everyone`s cup of tea, but they have unique adaptations and behaviour patterns that make them fascinating to observe. Spiders, for example, have an intricate web-spinning ability that allows them to capture their prey with ease. Snakes, on the other hand, have a unique way of moving and hunting, which sets them apart from other animals. 
    Lastly, stick insects, also known as phasmids, are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings to avoid predators. 
    In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets. Whether you are a seasoned pet owner or considering getting your first pet, this book is an excellent resource to learn more about these fascinating creatures. 
    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.
