  Fire and flood, train wreck and tornado—a look at the many disasters Chicago has endured over the years. 
   
   
    
  The story of Chicago is often likened to that of a phoenix rising out of the ashes of the Great Fire. Yet that infamous event was only part of the destruction that has shaped Chicago's identity. 
   
   
    
  This unique history explores the calamities that have befallen the Windy City, such as the 1954 killer water surge that swept in on a calm summer day; the 1967 tornado that ripped through rush hour traffic; the 1886 Haymarket Square riot that put Chicago on the anarchist map; and many other acts of nature and human folly. As you witness a fireproof theater burn, a flood rise up without rain, and one of the greatest maritime disasters occur within city limits, you'll gain a new appreciation for how this city has endured through unexpected tragedies and produced many unlikely heroes.

  With over two decades’ experience both observing and interpreting how people channel disaster into opportunity in the most extreme circumstances and environments on Earth, Ben Ramalingam has a unique vantage point from which to identify the key principles that can enable anyone to use stress as an opportunity for change.In Upshift, Ramalingam distils this expertise into an insightful, powerful, and engaging audiobook that will show you how to reframe your set responses to stress and pressure and instead use them to harness the potential they hold not just for improving your work, your relationships, and your mindset, but for transforming them.Upshift takes listeners on an epic journey from early humans’ survival of the Ice Age to present times in our inescapable, pernicious and ever-shifting digital landscape. You will hear remarkable stories from a vast range of upshifters—all of whom carved new routes around perceived barriers using their powers to upshift. Underlying stories of how city commuters navigate train cancellations to how astronauts deal with life-threatening incidents, is one key message: We all have the power to innovate, whether or not we identify ourselves as creative or extraordinary.Maybe you’re the challenger, who thrives by constructively disrupting the status quo like Greta Thunberg. Or perhaps you find yourself constantly tweaking, prodding, breaking, rebuilding, and improving like crafters such as the team that revolutionized space travel called the NASA Pirates. Do you love introducing people whose combined efforts will lead to greater achievements? You might be a connector, like master networker Ariana Huffington.In a runaway world that is an engine for perpetual crisis, Upshift is not only an essential toolkit for survival, it is a roadmap for positive, and potentially life-changing transformation and influence. You don’t have to shut down—you can upshift.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

  Shrink the City - The 15-Minute...

  Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
   
   
   
  In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
   
   
   
  From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
   
   
   
  ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
   
   
   
  ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
   
   
   
  ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
   
   
   
  This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.

  We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways. 
   In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller. 
   We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too. 
   For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago? 
   And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today? 
   Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles? 
   There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect. 
   The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.
