Sinopsis

Pedestrian-Friendly Cities explores the crucial role of walkability in modern urban planning, arguing that prioritizing pedestrian-centered design enhances public health, environmental sustainability, and community revitalization. It challenges the car-centric planning of the 20th century, which led to sprawling suburbs and a decline in walkable neighborhoods, and demonstrates that consciously designing for pedestrians can significantly improve urban life.

 
Cities were historically pedestrian-friendly, offering lessons for today's urban planners seeking to create more livable spaces. The book examines design strategies like mixed-use zoning and traffic calming, presenting case studies of successful pedestrian-friendly cities. It demonstrates how prioritizing walking can lead to longer, healthier lives for residents and stronger community bonds.

 
By integrating architecture with public health considerations, the book offers a holistic perspective, emphasizing that creating walkable cities involves more than just sidewalks; it requires a fundamental shift in urban planning philosophy. Beginning with foundational concepts, the book progresses to analyze specific design strategies, concluding with a practical guide for implementing pedestrian-friendly principles.

 
It addresses the interconnectedness of urban design, individual well-being, and environmental sustainability, making it a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and community advocates aiming to create thriving, resilient urban environments.

Endometriosis - Manage Pelvic...

Lilly Richardsen

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two chronic conditions that significantly affect the lives of women around the world. Both are often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and associated with pelvic pain, yet they are distinct in their causes and manifestations. Understanding these conditions is crucial for improving awareness, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing inflammation, pain, and the formation of adhesions. This misplaced tissue can attach to organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the outer surface of the uterus. The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain, which can vary from mild to debilitating. Women with endometriosis often experience pain during menstruation, intercourse, and bowel movements, and may also suffer from infertility. The condition affects approximately 10% of women worldwide, yet many go undiagnosed for years due to the subtlety of its symptoms and the lack of awareness among both patients and healthcare providers.
Adenomyosis, on the other hand, occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause the uterus to become enlarged and tender, often resulting in heavy menstrual bleeding, cramping, and pelvic pain. Although adenomyosis shares some symptoms with endometriosis, such as pain and menstrual irregularities, it is distinct in its pathology and the way it impacts the body. Unlike endometriosis, adenomyosis is more directly related to the uterus itself, leading to a different set of challenges in terms of diagnosis and treatment.

The Biology of Kindness - Six...

Daniel Lumera, Immaculata De Vivo

The science is in: being good is actually good for you. In The Biology of Kindness—the first in a trilogy on the topic of daily wellness—the science of mindfulness and the findings of biology come together to show how kindness and optimism improve overall well-being in profound, organic, and demonstrable ways. Daniel Lumera, an expert in meditation and mindfulness, and Immaculata De Vivo, a preeminent researcher in molecular epidemiology, outline a revolutionary approach to health, longevity, and quality of life—and explain the scientific evidence that supports their work. 
 
 
 
Identifying five fundamental values and describing six essential strategies for cultivating these values, De Vivo and Lumera chart a practical course for pursuing a long, healthy, and happy life. Along the way they provide the scientific data that reveal the impact such behavior has on biology. The Biology of Kindness offers incontrovertible evidence that what is commonly ascribed to "spiritual" well-being has a clear and direct impact on physical health, helping to buffer premature aging and decrease the incidence of chronic disease. 
 
 
 
At a time when life seems to be ruled by a desire to get "everything and immediately," Lumera observes, there is a compelling case to be made for the discipline of devotion, dedication, and passion—for the good of the body and soul.

Shock Values - Prices and...

Carola Binder

How inflation and deflation fears shape American democracy. 
 
 
 
Many foundational moments in American economic history—the establishment of paper money, wartime price controls, the rise of the modern Federal Reserve—occurred during financial panics as prices either inflated or deflated sharply. The government's decisions in these moments, intended to control price fluctuations, have produced both lasting effects and some of the most contentious debates in the nation's history. 
 
 
 
A sweeping history of the United States' economy and politics, Shock Values reveals how the American state has been shaped by a massive, ever-evolving effort to insulate its economy from the real and perceived dangers of price fluctuations. Carola Binder narrates how the pains of rising and falling prices have brought lasting changes for every generation of Americans. And with each brush with price instability, the United States has been reinvented—not as a more perfect union, but as a reflection of its most recent failures. 
 
 
 
Shock Values tells the untold story of prices and price stabilization in the United States. Expansive and enlightening, Binder recounts the interest-group politics, legal battles, and economic ideas that have shaped a nation from the dawn of the republic to the present.
