Sinossi

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.

    The immune system is central to human health. Growing understanding of the immune system, and especially the creation of immune memory (which results in long lasting protection), have led to major breakthroughs in medicine and the design of vaccines.In this Very Short Introduction, Paul Klenerman describes the immune system, and how it works in health and disease. He considers how the immune system evolved, the basic rules that govern its behavior, and the major health threats where it is important. Paul Klenerman also explains how things can go wrong when there is too little or too much immunity. The book also addresses what we learned about the immune system from the COVID-19 pandemic and how that has influenced thinking about future pandemics.

    Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed comets were evil portents. In 1705, Edmond Halley liberated humanity from these primordial superstitions, proving that Newtonian mechanics rather than the will of the gods brought comets into our celestial neighborhood. Despite this scientific advance, when Halley's Comet returned in 1910, newspapers gleefully provoked a global hysteria that unfolded with tragic consequences. 
     
     
     
    In Comet Madness, author and historian Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halley's Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception. 
     
     
     
    As the comet neared Earth, scientists and journalists alike scrambled to get the story straight as citizens the world over panicked. 
     
     
     
    As a result, workmen shelved their tools, farmers refused to plant crops they would never harvest, and formerly reliable people stopped paying their creditors. Others suffered mental breakdowns, and some took their own lives. 
     
     
     
    Comet Madness reveals how humans confront the unknown, how scientists learn about the world we inhabit, and how certain people—from outright hucksters to opportunistic journalists—harness fear to produce a profit.

    Coding is a very important part of our reality today. It is one of the fabrics that enable the modern world to run efficiently. I know you'd like to learn to code, or at least you know someone who would like to learn to code. But, perhaps you are being held back by the phrase "coding is too hard." I remember a friend telling me this once when I told him of my intention to learn to code. He was like, "Are you serious, it is very hard. You'd actually have to be a genius to learn how to code. In fact, you'd have to be some kind of mad man". We both knew I was neither a genius nor a madman. Fast forward 2 years later, now I know to code. Not just that, I'm also teaching everyday men and women the fundamentals of the subject. 
    There are lots of job opportunities for coders and programmers today. In fact, coding jobs are growing at an astounding rate. If the Internet and data are the infrastructures, then coders are the construction workers. As long as there is infrastructure to be built, construction workers will always have work. It is believed that this trend will continue for a long time. Now is the time to position yourself to benefit from this trend. 
    In this book, you'll be learning the fundamentals of coding languages, how to become an expert in the shortest time possible, and much more. I have attempted to demystify coding because coding is not that difficult, and all you need is a good teacher. This book has been written with you (a beginner) in mind. So there is no unnecessary jargon or words that will fly over your head.

    The connected world offers the potential for radical new business insights gleaned from previously unimaginable volumes of data. But business has got bogged down in the process of collecting and storing that data; money has been wasted on data lakes in which many IT departments have drowned without being able to deliver useful insights to business leaders. Big data has new and exciting answers to offer, but business leaders must first decide what questions it would like to see answered. Data may be the new oil, but to date we have only built oil depots. This book analyses the new, Fourth Wave of business transformation, which will build the refineries that turn data into useful products. Business has started from ‘data up’ and needs to start again from ‘value down’, going back to the drivers of real business value and deciding what insights would help realize that value. Only then can we begin to interrogate data with purpose.
