  In recent years, the concept of smart cities has gained significant attention as urban areas face unprecedented growth and the challenges that come with it. As populations swell and technological advancements accelerate, cities around the world are exploring ways to harness the power of innovation to improve the quality of life for their residents. Smart cities represent a dynamic transformation where technology is seamlessly integrated into urban infrastructure, services, and governance. These cities use data, sensors, and interconnected systems to optimize functions such as traffic flow, energy consumption, healthcare, and public safety, creating more efficient, sustainable, and livable urban environments. 
  The rise of smart cities is driven by the need to address a host of urban issues that have become increasingly difficult to manage through traditional methods. Rapid urbanization has strained resources, from transportation networks to healthcare services, resulting in overcrowded cities and stretched public services. At the same time, the digital revolution has made it possible to rethink how cities are designed and operated, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation. In smart cities, data is collected from a vast array of sensors and devices embedded throughout the urban landscape, enabling real-time monitoring and management of everything from traffic congestion to energy use. 
  The development of smart cities is also closely tied to sustainability. With growing concerns about climate change and the depletion of natural resources, urban planners are turning to smart technologies to reduce environmental impact. For instance, energy-efficient buildings, waste management systems, and smart grids can significantly lower a city's carbon footprint. Moreover, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are increasingly being integrated into urban infrastructure, creating more sustainable energy systems.

  More than a decade ago, counterterrorism expert Rita Katz began browsing white supremacist and neo-Nazi forums. The hateful rhetoric and constant threats of violence immediately reminded her of jihadist militants, but law enforcement and policy makers barely paid attention to the Far Right. Now, years of attacks committed by extremists radicalized online—including mass murders at a synagogue in Pittsburgh and mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, as well as the Capitol siege—have brought home the danger. How has the internet shaped today's threats, and what do the online origins of these movements reveal about how to stop them? 
   
   
   
  In Saints and Soldiers, Katz reveals a new generation of terrorist movements that don't just use the internet, but exist almost entirely on it. She provides a vivid view from the trenches, spanning edgy video game chat groups to mainstream social media platforms to what ISIS and Far-Right mass-shooters in El Paso, Orlando, and elsewhere unwittingly reveal between the lines of their manifestos. Katz shows how the online cultures of these movements create today's terrorists and shape how they commit "real world" violence. From ISIS to QAnon, Saints and Soldiers pinpoints the approaches needed for a new era in which arrests and military campaigns alone cannot stop these never-before-seen threats.

  Dr. Alicia Blando learned during the early days of the HIV epidemic that American medical practices fail to holistically support patients. Seeing a gap in medical care, Dr. Blando started seeking advice from unconventional counselors, such as psychics, mediums and astrologers, as well as learning from indigenous healers. “Open for Interpretation: A Doctor’s Journey into Astrology” follows Dr. Blando’s self-discovery journey through her astrological chart and demonstrates how readers can apply this ancient practice to their own path to self-discovery.  
  In conjunction with Western medicine, Dr. Blando believes that the tenets of astrology can support a person’s health, wellbeing, and self-understanding, and can even offer insight into predispositions for certain diseases and illnesses. Dr. Blando takes readers on her pursuit of life’s age-old question, “Am I walking the right path?” She travels from Manhattan to the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia, and learns about time-proven, holistic methods of healing. In her stunning memoir, she shares her story of finally finding the guide she’s been seeking—and explains how we can all use that map to access our higher selves and untapped potential.  
  In “Open for Interpretation”, Dr. Blando’s expedition off the beaten path leads her to true self-exploration and connection with the world around her, as well as a desire to share her knowledge and experience.
