Sinopse

Urban Food Insecurity tackles the pressing issue of hunger amid plenty in our cities, shining a light on how economic inequality and spatial disparities create “food deserts”—areas where access to nutritious food is severely limited. The book argues urban food insecurity is a systemic problem, not just a matter of individual choices. For example, historical segregation and discriminatory housing policies significantly contribute to these food deserts, perpetuating cycles of malnutrition and hunger.

 
The book progresses methodically, first defining core concepts like food security and economic inequality. It then examines how zoning laws and grocery store locations contribute to food deserts, using case studies of major cities to illustrate diverse impacts. Finally, it explores potential solutions, from policy changes to community initiatives, drawing on government data, academic research, and personal stories. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the issue, making it valuable for policymakers, community organizers, and anyone interested in creating a more equitable food system.

    As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
     
     
     
    In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
     
     
     
    With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.

    A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority. 
     
     
     
    Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. 
     
     
      
    Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women—Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale—to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.
