Summary

Transit Oriented Growth explores how integrating transportation infrastructure with urban design can create sustainable and equitable communities. It examines transit-oriented development (TOD) principles, emphasizing walkability, reduced congestion, and enhanced mobility. The book argues for a shift from auto-centric planning to prioritizing public transit, pedestrian, and bicycle infrastructure, addressing urban sprawl and social inequity. It also considers the architecture and political dimensions of policy implementation in the context of these urban transformations.

 
The book begins by tracing urban planning's evolution and introduces TOD principles like mixed-use development and density near transit hubs. Case studies illustrate successful and unsuccessful TOD implementations. For example, TOD can increase property values and reduce transportation costs.

 
It further delves into the social equity implications of TOD, focusing on affordable housing and inclusive community development. The framework presented guides policymakers and planners in implementing TOD strategies by navigating zoning regulations and community engagement. The book draws evidence from urban planning studies, transportation data, and economic assessments, offering a practical guide for creating sustainable cities through effective transit-oriented development.

    A testament to the way of solitude and simplicity, the 21 precepts of the Dokkōdō, also known as The Way of Walking Alone, is one of Musashi's principal legacies. Inspired by his life of combat and the bushido code, Miyamoto Musashi wrote the Dokkōdō in Japan in 1645, to pass on his wisdom and philosophy of life before he died. In the short text, the master duelist shares 21 precepts for healthy living. They are influenced by principles akin to Stoicism. Even today, these universal lessons can be useful for leading an honest and happy life. 
    Among the main themes he addresses in the Dokkōdō, Miyamoto Musashi stresses the importance of simplicity, discipline and detachment. He suggests forgetting material desires and distractions and concentrating on the essential. He advocates not only material simplicity, but also mental, spiritual simplicity; purity of thought. In his vision, mental clarity enables deeper self-mastery.

    A birder strolling in Central Park. A college student lounging on a university quad. Two men sitting in a coffee shop. Perfectly ordinary actions in ordinary settings—and yet, they sparked jarring and inflammatory responses that involved the police and attracted national media coverage. Why? In essence, Elijah Anderson would argue, because these were Black people existing in white spaces. 
     
     
      
    In Black in White Space, Anderson brings his immense knowledge and ethnography to bear in this timely study of the racial barriers that are still firmly entrenched in our society at every class level. He focuses in on symbolic racism, a new form of racism in America caused by the stubbornly powerful stereotype of the ghetto embedded in the white imagination, which subconsciously connects all Black people with crime and poverty regardless of their social or economic position. White people typically avoid Black space, but Black people are required to navigate the "white space" as a condition of their existence. 
     
     
      
    An unwavering truthteller in our national conversation on race, Anderson has shared intimate and sharp insights into Black life for decades. Vital and eye-opening, Black in White Space will be a must-listen for anyone hoping to understand the lived realities of Black people and the structural underpinnings of racism in America.

    Wars are expensive, both in human terms and monetary ones. But while warfare might be costly it has also, at times, been an important driver of economic change and progress. Over the long span of history nothing has shaped human institutions—and thus the process of economic development—as much as war and violence. Wars made states and states made wars. As the costs of warfighting grew so did state structures, taxation systems and national markets for debt. And as warfare became ever more destructive the incentive for governments to resort to it changed too. 
     
    Blood and Treasure looks at the history and economics of warfare from the Viking Age to the war in Ukraine, examining how incentives and institutions have changed over the centuries. It surveys how warfare helped drive Europe's rise to global prominence, and it explains how the total wars of the twentieth century required a new type of strategy, one that took economics seriously. 
     
    Underpinning this riveting narrative is a focus on how and why the economics of conflict have changed over time. This is a story of how economics can help to explain the motivations of war, and how understanding the history of warfare can help explain modern economics.
