Sinopse

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.

    In 2015, a group of twenty-one young people sued the federal government for violating their constitutional rights by promoting the climate catastrophe, depriving them of life, liberty, and property without due process of law. They Knew offers evidence for their claims, presenting a devastating, play-by-play account of the federal government's role in bringing about today's climate crisis. James Speth, tapped by the plaintiffs as an expert on climate, documents how administrations from Carter to Trump—despite having information about climate change and the connection to fossil fuels—continued aggressive support of a fossil fuel based energy system. 
     
     
      
    What did the federal government know and when did it know it? Speth asks, echoing another famous cover up. What did the federal government do and what did it not do? They Knew (an updated version of the Expert Report Speth prepared for the lawsuit) presents the most compelling indictment yet of the government's role in the climate crisis, showing a forty-year failure to take action. 
     
    Since Juliana v. United States was filed, the federal government has repeatedly delayed the case. Yet even in legal limbo, it has helped inspire a generation of youthful climate activists.

    “Tells the story of anger, disillusionment, and determination of Americans to develop a political movement to fight chemical pollution . . . timely.” —The Huffington PostThis book, named one of Booklist’s Top 10 books on sustainability in 2014, is the first to offer a comprehensive examination of the environmental health movement, which unlike many parts of the environmental movement, focuses on ways toxic chemicals and other hazardous agents in the environment effect human health and well-being. Born in 1978 when Lois Gibbs organized her neighbors to protest the health effects of a toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New York, the movement has spread across the United States and throughout the world. By placing human health at the center of its environmental argument, this movement has achieved many victories in community mobilization and legislative reform. In The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement, environmental health expert Kate Davies describes the movement’s historical, ideological, and cultural roots and analyzes its strategies and successes.“Kate Davies’ excellent book focuses on the role of health in the environmental health movement and encourages us to consider its origins and accomplishments . . . The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement looks both back and forward to challenge us to consider our current direction. In the future this book will provide readers with an important perspective on how the environmental health movement shaped our society.” —Toxipedia“A well-done history of America’s environmental health movement . . . offers readers valuable information on how grassroots organizing prevents harm from toxic exposures and leads to safe and healthy communities.” —Lois Marie Gibbs, Executive Director, Center for Health, Environment & Justice

    The Shortest History of Migration

    From the Silk Roads to the Berlin Wall, discover the globe-turning history of human migration 
     
     
     
    We are a species in motion—from the first steps of Homo sapiens across Africa to America's "melting pot." And when we move—in search of better things, or against our will—our beliefs and skills clash and combine, reshaping society time and again. 
     
     
     
    In this visionary Shortest History of Migration, Ian Goldin uncovers key moments of cultural exchange while carefully examining empire, slavery, and war. Throughout, we meet famous explorers (Zheng He), exiles (Pablo Neruda), and everyday people in extraordinary circumstances: a Jewish man saved by the Kindertransport, a Japanese gardener who blossomed in Mexico City. 
     
     
     
    Today, freedom of movement is being curtailed, even as climate change and conflict mobilize people everywhere around the world. Goldin reminds us that passports at every border are a modern invention (he traces the "birth of big brother" to World War I), revealing the folly of trying to halt migration—and proposing commonsense policy instead. 
     
     
     
    A gripping chronicle of want and wanderlust, this is a moving portrait of humanity—in every sense of the word.
