Synopsis

City Expansions explores the complex phenomenon of urban growth and pathways to sustainable urban development. It examines global urbanization trends, revealing how cities are expanding and the driving forces behind this expansion, such as population growth and economic development. The book uniquely emphasizes that city expansion isn't an uncontrollable force, but a process that can be guided towards sustainability through informed policy and community engagement.

 
The analysis progresses from a historical overview to the challenges of urban sprawl, including environmental degradation and social inequality. It highlights strategies such as transit-oriented development and green infrastructure, supported by diverse evidence, including statistical data and case studies.

 
A key insight is the interconnectedness of urban, social, and environmental systems, advocating for holistic approaches in city planning and urban design. The book, intended for a broad audience from students to policymakers, adopts an accessible tone to present complex information. Case studies from diverse urban contexts illustrate both successful and unsuccessful development projects.

 
City Expansions offers a comprehensive understanding of urbanization, equipping readers with knowledge to shape more livable and resilient urban environments.

África y Roma: La historia y el...

Charles River Editors

En su apogeo, el Imperio Romano abarcaba grandes extensiones de Europa occidental, Oriente Medio, Egipto y el norte de África, y aunque mucha gente conoce la influencia y el legado de Roma en Europa y Oriente Medio, a menudo se sabe menos de los asentamientos romanos en la costa mediterránea del norte de áfrica. No obstante, esta fue una zona que produjo varios emperadores (incluidos los únicos emperadores negros), algunas de las ciudades más sofisticadas del imperio y ruinas romanas que ofrecen algunas de las mejores pruebas del modo de vida romano que se pueden encontrar en cualquier parte del mundo.  
	Aparte de la naturaleza complicada de los sistemas administrativos en evolución en la zona, otro reto importante para los investigadores modernos del periodo romano en la historia del norte de África es que el entorno natural era muy diferente al actual. Se suele suponer que la región solo era fértil en la costa y que el interior no podía proporcionar los recursos necesarios para mantener poblaciones numerosas y ricas. Sin embargo, en la antigüedad, el norte de África era una región fértil, y los científicos creen que la vasta zona de praderas escarpadas que cubría la mayor parte de lo que hoy es el desierto del Sáhara comenzó a secarse hace unos 5000 años, y que el proceso de transformación de las praderas en desiertos fue lento. Aunque existe un considerable debate sobre el tiempo que duró el proceso y si las técnicas agrícolas a pequeña escala utilizadas en la región contribuyeron al proceso de desecación, está claro que la zona alrededor de Cartago, por ejemplo, tenía una amplia extensión de tierras bien cultivadas, y que dicho cultivo se prolongó hasta bien entrada la Edad Media.

The Match of the Century -...

Matt Clough

On 25 November 1953, the footballing landscape was altered forever. In a mist-shrouded Wembley Stadium, the beautiful game's historic dominant force, England, met the most exciting team of the 1950s, Hungary. What followed sent shockwaves through the very foundations that the sport was built upon.


After years of crumbling decline, the British Empire seemed to be enjoying a resurgence with the coronation of the popular young Elizabeth II. As such, England played with the crushing weight of expectation upon their shoulders, defending their proud, unbeaten home record and protecting the reputation of the nation. Hungary, meanwhile, took on football's most venerated team in the knowledge that they had the opportunity to make history by emerging victorious – anything less would not be tolerated.


The newspapers called it the Match of the Century before it had even begun. By the time it was over, writers, players and fans were wondering if such a lofty billing had in fact undersold the contest. Now, over sixty years later, the match is imbued with meaning and symbolism far beyond the football pitch. This is the story of a match that would change the course of football history forever.

War and AI - The Algorithmic...

Javier del Puerto, Rado Molina

"War and AI" tracks the lethal contradiction at the center of the AI boom: the same systems marketed as tools of progress are already being wired into kill chains, targeting systems, and automated decisions about who lives and who dies.From Gaza to Ukraine, machine vision, autonomous drones, and algorithmic targeting are no longer speculative. They are shaping real battlefields in real time, with civilians trapped inside the margin of error.This urgent new book maps the doctrine, supply chains, and moral collapse behind algorithmic warfare, arguing that the most dangerous lie of the AI age is the claim that we can build machines to save humanity without first teaching them how to kill.

The State & Revolution

Vladimir Lenin

This foundational political work by Vladimir Lenin examines the true nature of the state and its role as an instrument of class power rather than a neutral force serving all people equally. Challenging comforting ideas about government, law, and democracy, it argues that the state exists primarily to protect the interests of the ruling class and to suppress those beneath it. What appears as order and stability is revealed as controlled force shaped by economic domination. 
Lenin traces how revolutions do not simply change leaders, but must dismantle the existing machinery of power itself. He confronts the illusion that injustice can be reformed away without breaking the structures that sustain it. Compromise is exposed as a trap, and gradual change as a delay that serves those already in control. The question is not whether the state should exist in its current form, but whether it must be replaced entirely in order for real liberation to occur. 
With sharp urgency and uncompromising logic, Vladimir Lenin explores power, authority, class struggle, and the conditions required for genuine social transformation. This work is both a political warning and a strategic blueprint, revealing how deeply embedded systems resist change and how easily freedom is promised but withheld. It remains a forceful meditation on revolution, control, and the dangerous illusion of power that claims to serve everyone equally.
