Universities on Fire - Higher...

Bryan Alexander

In 2019, intense fires in the San Francisco Bay Area closed universities and drove afflicted people to shelter at other campuses. At the same time, extraordinary fires ravaged eastern Australia. Several universities responded by promising material and research support to damaged businesses while also hosting refugees and emergency response teams in student residence halls. This was an echo of the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina on Tulane University in 2005.In Universities on Fire, futurist Bryan Alexander explores higher education during an age of unfolding climate crisis. Powered by real-world examples and the latest research, Alexander assesses practical responses and strategies by surveying contemporary programs and academic climate research from around the world. He establishes a model of how academic institutions may respond and offers practical pathways forward for higher education. How will the two main purposes of education—teaching and research—change as the world heats up? Alexander positions colleges and universities in the broader social world, from town-gown relationships to connections between how campuses and civilization as a whole respond to this epochal threat.Current studies of climate change trace the likely implications across a range of domains, from agriculture to policy, urban design, technology, culture, and human psychology. However, few books have predicted or studied the effects of the climate crisis on colleges and universities. By connecting climate research to a deep, futures-informed analysis of academia, Universities on Fire explores how climate change will fundamentally reshape higher education.

Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On...

Albert Moukheiber

Why are we often convinced that we’re right even when we’re wrong? Why are we jealous, or paranoid, even when we have absolutely no reason to be? Why is it so easy for fake news to spread around the globe and fool us? It’s because we don’t see the world as it is, rather we reconstruct it in our mind.

Niagara - Daredevils Danger &...

Andrew Hind, Maria Da Silva

Niagara is rich with fascinating stories, from daredevils to heroics.
		 
From the horrors during the War of 1812, to murder, to technological innovation and the birth of the modern tourist industry, Niagara has seen it all:
		 
In 1901, Annie Taylor was the first person to go over the falls in a barrel…and survive.
		 
It is said that the former Houdini Hall of Fame was cursed by the dead escape artist himself, and that he was responsible for its demise.
		 
For two weeks in 1952, Niagara Falls shared the spotlight with another attraction, Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe.
		 
Maria Spelterini was the first and only woman to cross Niagara on a tightrope…and then she disappears from history.
		 
Adulterer Arthur Hoyt Day decided to rid himself of one wife by throwing her into the Niagara gorge; he paid the ultimate price for his crime.
		 
Nikola Tesla, an eccentric but brilliant inventor, tamed the falls and revolutionized electricity forever.
		 
In 1913, a barge ran aground at the precipice of the falls, creating a landmark and a tale of heroic rescue that endures to this day.
		 
And so much more…
