  Urban Economics - Understanding...

  Urban economics is the study of how economic forces shape the development, growth, and functioning of cities. In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, understanding the dynamics of urban areas is crucial for policymakers, businesses, and residents alike. Cities are the engines of economic activity, often driving national economies through industrialization, technological advancement, and labor market opportunities. The field of urban economics provides a framework for analyzing the complex interactions between land use, housing markets, transportation, and labor, all of which influence the growth and prosperity of cities. 
  One of the core ideas of urban economics is the concept of agglomeration, which refers to the concentration of people and businesses in a specific area to take advantage of economies of scale, reduced transportation costs, and access to a skilled workforce. This concentration leads to the formation of cities as hubs of economic activity, where services, manufacturing, and innovation thrive. However, agglomeration also brings challenges, such as congestion, pollution, and rising living costs. Urban economists seek to understand these trade-offs and develop policies that can foster economic growth while addressing the negative externalities associated with urbanization. 
  Another fundamental aspect of urban economics is the relationship between urban form and economic performance. Cities are not static entities; they evolve over time as they expand, change in function, and adapt to shifting economic realities. The spatial structure of a city—how land is used, where different activities are located, and the connectivity between various areas—can significantly impact its economic performance. Urban economics explores how factors like zoning laws, infrastructure, and transportation systems influence a city’s efficiency, livability, and overall success.

  What does it mean to be a body behind a screen, lost in the hustle of an online world? In our age of digital hyper-connection, Athena Dixon invites us to consider this question with depth, heart, and ferocity, investigating the gaps that technology cannot fill and confronting a lifetime of loneliness. 
   
   
   
  Living alone as a middle-aged woman without children or pets and working forty hours a week from home, more than three hundred fifty miles from her family and friends, Dixon begins watching mystery videos on YouTube, listening to true crime podcasts, and playing video game walk-throughs just to hear another human voice. She discovers the story of Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman who died alone, her body remaining in front of a glowing television set for three years before the world finally noticed. Searching for connection, Dixon plumbs the depths of communal loneliness, asking essential questions of herself and all of us: How have her past decisions left her so alone? Are we, as humans, linked by a shared loneliness? How do we see the world and our place in it? And finally, how do we find our way back to each other? 
   
   
   
  Searing and searching, The Loneliness Files is a groundbreaking memoir in essays that ultimately brings us together in its piercing, revelatory examination of how and why it is that we break apart.

  Not Exactly Lying - Fake News...

  Andie Tucher

  Long before the current preoccupation with "fake news," American newspapers routinely ran stories that were not quite, strictly speaking, true. Today, a firm boundary between fact and fakery is a hallmark of journalistic practice, yet for many readers and publishers across more than three centuries, this distinction has seemed slippery or even irrelevant. From fibs in America's first newspaper about royal incest to social media-driven conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birthplace, Andie Tucher explores how American audiences have argued over what's real and what's not and why that matters for democracy. 
   
   
   
  Around the start of the twentieth century, journalists who were determined to improve the reputation of their craft established professional norms and the goal of objectivity. However, Tucher argues, the creation of outward forms of factuality unleashed new opportunities for falsehood: News doesn't have to be true as long as it looks true. Propaganda, disinformation, and advocacy—whether in print, on the radio, on television, or online—could be crafted to resemble the real thing. This "fake journalism" became inextricably bound up with right-wing politics, to the point where it has become an essential driver of political polarization. This book is a timely consideration of what happens to public life when news is not exactly true.

  Life Map - A Short Guide For...

  My aim with this book is to help bring some clarity and a sense of direction to adults and younger people alike. 
  As an adult, if you find yourself kind of stuck, say you’ve had a fair amount of experiences up to this point, you are financially independent and overall pretty content but feel you kind of lost contact with some of your dreams and aspirations from around…10 years ago…keep on reading. 
  Or, if you’re a student who feels overwhelmed in today’s world where we’re all constantly flooded by the online medium which fights for each second of our attention and distorts reality by feeding us fake reference points…keep on reading. 
  It’s completely understandable how someone can feel lost and not know what to do with one’s life. 
  While I do not claim to hold an absolute truth, I firmly believe that this book can and will be seen as a clear and solid starting point in helping you find at least some answers to questions you have or may have, whether you’re an adult looking to improve your life, or a student feeling your life is just starting out. 
  In short, my idea was to take Abraham Maslow’s Expanded Hierarchy of Needs and pump it full of steroids. 
  I wanted to take this pyramid and turn it into a tesseract. 
  Ok…so maybe that fifth cup of coffee at 3 a.m. wasn’t such a good idea after all.
