  Urban Sociology - The Study of...

  Urban sociology is a dynamic field of study that explores the social, economic, and political aspects of urban spaces and how they shape individuals and communities. It draws from various theoretical foundations to understand the complexities of city life and the ways in which urban environments influence human behavior. Several foundational theories have played a pivotal role in shaping the field, each offering a distinct perspective on urban society. 
  One of the earliest and most influential theories is the Chicago School of Sociology, which emerged in the early 20th century. Scholars such as Robert Park and Ernest Burgess focused on the spatial distribution of social groups within cities, emphasizing the concept of the “ecology” of cities. They argued that cities, like natural ecosystems, are composed of different areas where social groups interact, often resulting in patterns of segregation and social conflict. This approach highlighted the dynamic relationship between individuals and their urban environment, with a particular focus on issues like migration, social disorganization, and the impact of urban growth. 
  Another key theoretical foundation is Karl Marx's analysis of urbanization. Marxism focuses on the role of capitalism in shaping urban spaces, viewing cities as sites of economic exploitation and class struggle. According to Marxist theory, the growth of cities is intrinsically linked to the development of capitalism, which creates divisions between the working class and the capitalist elite. This perspective emphasizes the role of urban spaces in perpetuating social inequalities, as the wealthy class controls resources and the working class is often marginalized or displaced.

  Beyond Global Warming - How...

  Syukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling. Beyond Global Warming is his compelling firsthand account of how the scientific community came to understand the human causes of climate change, and how numerical models using the world's most powerful computers have been instrumental to these vital discoveries. 
   
   
   
  Joined by atmospheric scientist Anthony Broccoli, Manabe shows how climate models have been used as virtual laboratories for examining the complex planetary interactions of atmosphere, ocean, and land. Manabe and Broccoli use these studies as the basis for a broader discussion of human-induced global warming—and what the future may hold for a warming planet. They tell the stories of early trailblazers such as Svante Arrhenius, the legendary Swedish scientist who created the first climate model of Earth more than a century ago, and they provide rare insights into Manabe's own groundbreaking work over the past five decades. Expertly walking readers through key breakthroughs, they explain why increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has caused temperatures to rise in the troposphere yet fall in the stratosphere, why the warming of the planet's surface differs by hemisphere, why drought is becoming more frequent in arid regions despite the global increase in precipitation, and much more.
