Summary

Sewer Systems Evolution explores the fascinating history of sewer systems and their profound influence on urban development, public health, and social structures. This exploration reveals how advancements in sewer technology, from ancient aqueducts to modern wastewater treatment, have been crucial in preventing disease and enabling the growth of cities. The book highlights how sanitation advancements are intertwined with urban population increases, showcasing the importance of waste management.

 
The book examines the evolution of sewer technology, from early combined systems to separate systems, and the social and political challenges of implementing large-scale sanitation projects. It begins with ancient waste disposal methods, progresses through the sanitation crises of the Industrial Revolution, and ends with modern challenges like aging infrastructure and sustainable technology integration. Case studies and real-world examples demonstrate practical applications of this historical knowledge.

 
Uniquely, the book adopts a systems-thinking approach, examining the complex interactions between sewer systems, urban environments, and human populations. It connects the history of technology to environmental science, urban sociology, and public policy, revealing how sewer design impacts water quality and social equity. This comprehensive overview offers valuable insights for urban planners, engineers, and anyone interested in the hidden infrastructure beneath our feet.

    What qualities distinguish an excellent forager? 
      
    He can detect and discover edible wild plants in his immediate surroundings. 
      
    However, this task may sometimes be intimidating, with over 80,000 edible species to choose from.  
    However, it is essential that every forager, whether novice or experienced, knows his plants and mushrooms. 
      
    All a forager needs is this guide to help him identify edible wild plants and mushrooms in his area. 
      
    We selected, discussed, and discovered 50 edible wild plants that a forager may encounter during his adventures. 
      
    So, how prepared are you for the foraging revolution? 
      
    The hunting and gathering period is returning, and you don't want to be left behind.  
    The ability to forage is something that everyone needs at this time. 
      
    It would be best if you had all the required instruments in your arsenal. There are several places to get this information, but none are as reliable as a book on the subject.  
      
    You need a book like this one that you can rely on to provide you with well-studied and confirmed information.

    The Eye and I

    This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.

    The Paris Accords, widely accepted as the key to solving today's climate crisis, set a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that's not good enough. The only way to guarantee a livable future is climate restoration, which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and entrepreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical path that will let humankind survive and thrive. 
     
     
     
    As Fiekowsky explains in Climate Restoration, this will require removing a trillion tons of excess CO2 from the atmosphere. The good news is that this task, while enormous and technically challenging, is eminently feasible. Scientists and engineers have developed four major technologies for greenhouse gas removal and storage: ocean iron fertilization; synthetic limestone manufacture; seaweed permaculture; and methane oxidation. 
     
     
     
    Fiekowsky shows that these technologies are safe and practical—and, even more remarkable, that they require little if any government funding, since they can be financed largely through existing markets. For these reasons, they have enormous promise as vehicles for achieving climate restoration. With the global climate crisis continuing to spiral out of control, the time for tough conversations about what it will really take to create a healthy future for humanity is here.

    The successful Apollo 11 mission was certainly an astonishing technological triumph, but what is less well remembered now are that many programs preceded Apollo and were essential to its success. Project Mercury was one of those, and in many ways it represented the greatest step forward in terms of the conquest of space. Before Project Mercury, there was no certainty that a human could survive the rigors of a space launch or live outside Earth’s atmosphere. There was no agreement on just what an astronaut should be, and various individuals involved debated whether they should be pilots, technicians, scientists, or even merely observers in an automated craft. Before Project Mercury, no one was entirely certain what a rocket capable of taking a person into space would look like, or even whether building such a craft was within the capabilities of engineering in the 1950s. 
    Gemini also marked another important milestone as America finally surpassed the Soviet Union in space technology. Before Gemini, the US was playing a desperate game of catch-up as it attempted to match Soviet accomplishments. The last Project Mercury flight launched in May 1963, and before then, Russia had put the first satellite in Earth’s orbit and the first man in space and had followed these with longer flights than the tiny Mercury spacecraft. In terms of military significance, it was recognized that the ability to dominate space was very important, and to many people in America, it seemed that Russia was well on the way to doing this. No one could have guessed that it would be almost three years before the next American manned space flight occurred when Gemini 3 left the launch pad in March 1965. It seemed to many people that the Russian lead in space exploration had become unassailable and, in order to reestablish the credibility of the US space program, the Gemini flights simply had to succeed.
