Synopsis

Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in London's growth.

    In this fast paced world of the internet, how can you make sure you are leaving your mark? 
    Since 1990, the World Wide Web has developed through three phases. The read phase gave individuals and companies a platform for publishing on a broader scale than ever before, but it wasn't interactive. The read-write phase allows readers and creators to interact with each other on the same Web page, but it has a few drawbacks: Creators are not compensated for the content they produce for platforms, their data is not secure, and they have no ownership of user-generated content. 
    Web3 is emerging to expand the opportunities for creators by delivering tools that help them regain their content freedom, monetize their content better, safeguard their personal data, and fight back against censorship. 
    In this book, you will learn:Why the best safeguard against censorship is decentralization.How the internet changed from being a decentralized asset no one owns or controls to being a centralized collage of walled gardens.Why user-generated content is so valuable to platforms like Facebook and Twitter, but not so great for creators.How blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are giving creators their freedom back.What creators can do today to secure their content freedom, expand their monetization options, and secure their data. 
    This book is for anyone who wants to know the inside and out of Web3. By knowing these, you will be able to navigate it and make sure you retain your content freedom while fighting against the censorship creators are experiencing on legacy social media platforms.

    An influential scientist in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) explains its fundamental concepts and how it is changing culture and society. 
     
     
     
    A particular form of AI is now embedded in our tech, our infrastructure, and our lives. How did it get there? Where and why should we be concerned? And what should we do now? The Shortcut: Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us provides an accessible yet probing exposure of AI in its prevalent form today, proposing a new narrative to connect and make sense of events that have happened in the recent tumultuous past, and enabling us to think soberly about the road ahead. 
     
     
     
    This book is divided into ten carefully crafted and easily digestible chapters. Each chapter grapples with an important question for AI. Ranging from the scientific concepts that underpin the technology to wider implications for society, it develops a unified description using tools from different disciplines and avoiding unnecessary abstractions or words that end with -ism. The book uses real examples wherever possible, introducing the listener to the people who have created some of these technologies and to ideas shaping modern society that originate from the technical side of AI. It contains important practical advice about how we should approach AI in the future without promoting exaggerated hypes or fears.

    Stellar Evolution -...

    Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution. 
      
    Stars form from giant molecular clouds, regions rich in gas and dust. Under the influence of gravity, these clouds collapse and fragment, leading to the formation of dense cores. When a core reaches a critical density, nuclear fusion ignites in its center, giving birth to a protostar. 
      
    Once nuclear fusion stabilizes, converting hydrogen into helium in the core, the star enters the main sequence phase. This is the longest stage in a star's life, where it remains in hydrostatic equilibrium, with gravitational forces balanced by radiation pressure from fusion. The duration of this phase depends on the star's mass. Low-mass stars, such as red dwarfs, can remain on the main sequence for tens to hundreds of billions of years. Intermediate-mass stars, like our Sun, stay on the main sequence for about 10 billion years. High-mass stars, such as blue giants, have much shorter main sequence lifespans, ranging from a few million to tens of millions of years.

  • Urban Poverty and Inequality - Challenges of the Modern City (3 in 1) - cover

    Urban Poverty and Inequality -...

    In the shadows of gleaming skyscrapers and vibrant commercial districts lies another city entirely—one marked by systemic deprivation, limited opportunity, and persistent struggle. Urban poverty represents one of the most complex and pressing challenges of our increasingly urbanized world, where the concentration of wealth and opportunity paradoxically exists alongside pockets of profound disadvantage. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted nature of Urban Poverty and Inequality, examining the lived experiences of The Urban Poor, and analyzing The Urban-Rural Divide that shapes resource distribution and development patterns across landscapes of inequity. 
    The narrative of urban deprivation is fundamentally a story of systemic contradictions, where proximity to abundance often accentuates rather than alleviates scarcity. By examining the structural forces, policy decisions, historical legacies, and global economic patterns that create and perpetuate urban inequality, this book illuminates the complex interplay between spatial location, economic opportunity, and social mobility in contemporary cities. Readers will journey through the intricate landscapes where urban poverty manifests—from informal settlements and public housing developments to gentrifying neighborhoods and peripheral urban zones—while exploring the resilience strategies, community responses, and policy interventions that address these challenges. Through evidence-based analysis, theoretical frameworks, and human-centered perspectives, we aim to deepen understanding of urban inequality not as an inevitable by-product of urbanization, but as a complex social phenomenon shaped by specific historical contexts, policy choices, and economic systems that can be transformed through intentional, equitable approaches to urban development.
