Summary

Wave Patterns Influence explores the dynamic relationship between ocean waves and coastlines, focusing on wave-driven circulation and sediment transport. It highlights how these natural forces shape our shores and the critical need for sustainable coastal management strategies. Did you know that wave-driven circulation, the currents generated as waves break, significantly influences nearshore environments? Or that understanding sediment transport is crucial for tackling coastal erosion, a growing concern worldwide? The book delves into the mechanics of wave behavior, examines how waves mobilize and deposit sediment, and investigates various shoreline shaping techniques, from traditional engineering to eco-friendly options. It emphasizes a holistic, systems-based approach, advocating for integrating ecological principles into engineering design. As coastal populations grow and climate change intensifies, Wave Patterns Influence provides vital knowledge for mitigating erosion and building resilient coastal communities. The book progresses by first introducing wave mechanics and nearshore hydrodynamics, then moving to sediment transport, shoreline strategies, and finally, integrated coastal zone management. This structure is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in coastal management.

    This audiobook narrated by Anand Jagatia reveals how society can shape individual actions in times of uncertainty

When we make decisions, our thinking is informed by societal norms, "guardrails" guiding our decisions, like the laws and rules that govern us. But what are good guardrails in today's world of overwhelming information flows and increasingly powerful technologies, such as artificial intelligence? Based on the latest insights from the cognitive sciences, economics, and public policy, Guardrails offers a novel approach to shaping decisions by embracing human agency in its social context.

In this visionary book, Urs Gasser and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger show how the quick embrace of technological solutions can lead to results we don't always want and explain how society itself can provide guardrails more suited to the digital age, ones that empower individual choice while accounting for the social good, encourage flexibility in the face of changing circumstances, and ultimately help us to make better decisions as we tackle the most daunting problems of our times, such as global injustice and climate change.

Whether we change jobs, buy a house, or quit smoking, thousands of decisions large and small shape our daily lives. Decisions drive our economies, seal the fate of democracies, create war or peace, and affect the well-being of our planet. Guardrails challenges the notion that technology should step in where our own decision making fails, laying out a surprisingly human-centered set of principles that can create new spaces for better decisions and a more equitable and prosperous society.

    “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
		 
From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
		 
Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
		 
For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.
