Sinopsis

"Bike Highways" explores the rise of high-speed bike lanes as integral components of urban transportation. It examines how cities globally are adapting infrastructure to embrace cycling, moving beyond mere amenities to establish efficient and equitable systems. These dedicated bike networks aim to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and boost public health. The book highlights that well-designed cycling infrastructure is not just about recreation; it's about improving urban sustainability and fostering economic development by providing affordable transportation options.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview of urban cycling to case studies of successful bike lane networks in cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam. It delves into technical design aspects, such as route planning and signaling systems, and explores the social and economic impacts, including effects on property values and public health. Data from diverse sources, including urban planning reports and traffic monitoring systems, quantifies the benefits. A unique focus is on the practical challenges and opportunities in building and maintaining these bike highways, offering a realistic assessment of the costs, benefits, and trade-offs involved in implementation.

    This is a technical guide, a "how to" guerrilla manual to help independent artists, bands and other creatives to maximise their sound, visuals, performance and online presence, using livestream gigs. 
    It is also a spiritual or metaphysical guide of sorts, since we rely heavily on channelling moods and feelings, using all of our senses, in mind, body and spirit. Such is the medium of music.

    In this landmark collection, William T. Vollmann offers a kaleidoscopic retrospective of the visual artwork he has produced over four decades, with new commentary from Vollmann on his process, inspiration, and the many intersections with his writing. 
     
     
     
    The celebrated author of over twenty-five books (among them the National Book Award–winning novel Europe Central; the seven-volume Rising Up and Rising Down, based on Vollmann's career as a war correspondent; and the two-volume climate change investigation Carbon Ideologies), Vollmann's equally ambitious and prolific career as a photographer, printmaker, and painter reflects the artist’s deep interest in people existing on the margins, a profound empathy for his subjects, and the humility and generosity to meet them on their terms. 
     
     
     
    In Shadows of Love, Shadows of Loneliness, a series of essays  commissioned especially for this book lays out Vollmann's views on what photographs can and should say, how he chooses what to represent (beauty, suffering, compassion, love, desire, ideology), thoughts on photographic consensuality, and any number of technical descriptions. Particularly useful for Vollmann fans and scholars are the cross-references between these artistic and photographic projects and his books.

    Named one of The Progressive magazine's Favorite Books of the Year 
    An inside look at the organizers and artists on the front lines of political mobilization and social change 
    “Ken [Grossinger] is one of the smartest strategists I know.” —John Sweeney, AFL-CIO president, 1995–2009 
    An artist’s mural of George Floyd becomes an emblem of a renewed movement for racial equality. A documentary film injects fuel into a popular mobilization to oust a Central American dictator. Freedom songs course through the American civil rights movement. 
    When artists and organizers combine forces, new forms of political mobilization follow—which shape lasting social change. And yet few people appreciate how much deliberate strategy often propels this vital social change work. Behind the scenes, artists, organizers, political activists, and philanthropists have worked together to hone powerful strategies for achieving the world we want and the world we need. 
    In Art Works, noted movement leader Ken Grossinger chronicles these efforts for the first time, distilling lessons and insights from grassroots leaders and luminaries such as Ai Weiwei, Courtland Cox, Jackson Browne, Shepard Fairey, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Alexander, Bill McKibben, JR, Jose Antonio Vargas, and more. Drawing from historical and present-day examples—including Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Legacy Museum, and the Art for Justice Fund—Grossinger offers a rich tapestry of tactics and successes that speak directly to the challenges and needs of today’s activists and of these political times.

    Learn from five remarkable professors in this set of One Day University presentations on the history and evolution of popular music. The most basic definition of music is simply the art of arranging sounds in time through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
