Sinopsis

Infrastructure Gaps explores the profound impact of inadequate infrastructure planning on societies, examining how it can stifle economic development and diminish quality of life. The book argues that effective planning goes beyond simply building infrastructure; it requires strategically anticipating future needs and promoting equitable, sustainable development.

 
One intriguing insight is how urban congestion, resulting from poor road networks and insufficient public transportation, not only incurs economic costs but also has significant environmental and social consequences. Another critical area explored is the provision of essential utilities, such as water and electricity, revealing how deficient planning can lead to unreliable service and exacerbate social disparities.

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from political science, architecture, and urban planning to provide a holistic understanding of the complexities involved. It begins by establishing a contextual understanding of infrastructure planning, followed by a detailed exploration into the detrimental outcomes of poor planning, such as urban congestion, inadequate utilities, and failing public services.

 
By presenting evidence-based analyses and diverse perspectives, Infrastructure Gaps empowers readers to advocate for more strategic, equitable, and sustainable development, making it an invaluable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and engaged citizens alike.

    "Have a seat!" I told the unsuspecting Katie Koric while I sat in front of the monitor showing a couple engaged in hot sex.   
    Having taken the bait, Katie quickly obliged by sitting down on the bed right next to where the computer was sitting on the desk.   
    Her eyes zoomed in on that picture, then the next, and the many, many that followed.

    Pressure is Malik Wade’s compelling, brutally honest description of his descent into the underworld, his years as a FBI fugitive, his incarceration, and his ultimate redemption. Wade began dealing drugs in San Francisco’s infamous Sunnydale housing project at age 15. By 19, his network reached from the Bay Area to Washington, DC. By 22, he had made the FBI’s wanted list. By 29, he was serving a 14-year stretch in federal prison. 
    In prison, Wade began a rigorous program of self-improvement. He would emerge from the darkness of prison a changed man. Once released, he enrolled in Stanford Law School’s Project ReMADE entrepreneurship program and began speaking about his experiences at UC Berkeley and other universities. Then in 2013, Wade founded the Scholastic Interest Group, a nonprofit dedicated to helping at-risk youth. 
    In addition to being a gripping personal story, Pressure is also social commentary. Wade chronicles the societal forces that shaped him, and he explodes many of the myths about drug dealers, prison, and growing up in the inner city. A vivid, authentic account of the triumph of the human spirit, Pressure is a revelation with the power to open minds and change hearts.

    A full account of the Luzon campaign, from the planning stages to the surrender of the Japanese general Yamashita.
    
    The Luzon campaign of 1945 was the longest island campaign of the Pacific War, lasting from January 1945 to September 1945, and only ended with the surrender of Imperial Japan. It is often overlooked or mentioned in passing by most histories of that war, yet hundreds of thousands of Americans and Japanese fought in some of the worst conditions imaginable for eight months to clear Luzon of the invaders.
    
    This full account of the Luzon campaign stretches from planning stages to the end of the war and the surrender of over 50,000 Japanese troops under the noted Japanese general Yamashita. The landings at Lingayen Gulf, the Battle for Manila and the recapture of Corregidor are all included, as well as lesser-known battles for the summer capital of Baguio, the battle for Manila's water supply, constant jungle fighting, the raids to rescue Allied POWs, the recapture of Bataan, destruction of the only Japanese armored division to fight in the Pacific, American parachute drops on Corregidor and Aparri, and much more. Individual acts of heroism are highlighted as are the interactions among the senior commanders involved, including General MacArthur, General Krueger (6th Army) and General Eichelberger (8th Army). The book ends with the surrender of Imperial Japan and the end of the Luzon Campaign in September 1945.

    The Digital Factory reveals the hidden human labor that supports today’s digital capitalism. 
      
    The workers of today’s digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labor. 
      
    The workers of today’s digital factory are not as far removed from a typical auto assembly line as we might think. Moritz Altenried takes us inside today’s digital factories, showing that they take very different forms, including gig economy platforms, video games, and Amazon warehouses. As Altenried shows, these digital factories often share surprising similarities with factories from the industrial age. As globalized capitalism and digital technology continue to transform labor around the world, Altenried offers a timely and poignant exploration of how these changes are restructuring the social division of labor and its geographies as well as the stratifications and lines of struggle.
