Synopsis

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 lie of the land: that Britain’s landowners care for the countryside. 
    Our landowning elite are paid billions of taxpayer pounds to be good stewards. But these same landowners have carelessly trampled over our best-loved landscapes, leaving the rivers polluted, fenlands drained, and moorlands burned. 
    Guy Shrubsole has travelled across Britain to expose the lie and meet the communities fighting back to restore our lost landscapes. This is a bold, shared vision for our nation’s wild places, and how we can treat them with the awe and care they deserve.

    As environmental, political, and public health crises multiply on Earth, we are also at the dawn of a new space race in which governments team up with celebrity billionaires to exploit the cosmos for human gain. The best-known of these pioneers are selling different visions of the future: while Elon Musk and SpaceX seek to establish a human presence on Mars, Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin work toward moving millions of earthlings into rotating near-Earth habitats. Despite these distinctions, these two billionaires share a core utopian project: the salvation of humanity through the exploitation of space. 
     
     
      
    In Astrotopia, philosopher of science and religion Mary-Jane Rubenstein pulls back the curtain on the not-so-new myths these space barons are peddling, like growth without limit, energy without guilt, and salvation in a brand-new world. As Rubenstein reveals, we have already seen the destructive effects of this frontier zealotry in the centuries-long history of European colonialism. But Rubenstein does more than expose the values of capitalist technoscience as the product of bad mythologies. She offers a vision of exploring space without reproducing the atrocities of earthly colonialism, encouraging us to find and even make stories that put cosmic caretaking over profiteering.

    I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
    Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
    Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
    This manual has five parts: 
    Part One-Understanding the Threat 
    Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
    Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
    Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
    Part Five-Looking Forward 
    Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
    Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
    I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this
