Summary

Our cities face a growing "Urban Waste Crisis," threatening to drown under increasing volumes of refuse. This book offers a comprehensive look at the challenges and potential solutions for urban waste management, emphasizing the urgent need to move away from landfills. Did you know that current consumption patterns and economic systems often prioritize production over waste reduction, exacerbating the problem? The book analyzes recycling programs to determine successes and failures, while also exploring waste reduction and reuse initiatives.

 
The book argues for a shift towards a circular economy, prioritizing waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. This approach requires integrating strategies, technological innovation, and policy changes to mitigate environmental and social consequences. The book begins by outlining the global landscape of urban waste, then it dissects the complexities of recycling systems. Later chapters explore waste reduction strategies and conclude with an analysis of integrated waste management systems, using real-world case studies.

Infinity and our Unbounded...

Martin K. Ettington

The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.
