Synopsis

Vertical Cities explores how skyscrapers can evolve into self-sufficient ecosystems, transforming urban living through sustainable urban development. The book argues that integrating residential spaces, workplaces, and green environments into high-rise buildings is crucial for accommodating growing populations while minimizing our environmental impact. It highlights the potential of vertical farms and mixed-use environments, suggesting that skyscrapers can become more than just commercial monuments. 

 
The book delves into integrating sustainable technologies like renewable energy and efficient waste management into architectural design. It examines creating functional, mixed-use spaces and fostering community within vertical structures. 

 
Drawing from architectural plans, environmental assessments, and sociological studies, Vertical Cities analyzes existing and proposed projects, acknowledging both successes and challenges. Structured in three parts, the book introduces the concept of vertical cities, examines key elements of self-sufficiency, and explores the social dimensions of vertical communities. This approach makes it valuable for architects, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of architecture and environmental sustainability.

Resetting the Alarm in Long...

Dr Murli Krishna

Resetting the Alarm in Long COVID is a calm, evidence-informed, and patient-focused audiobook for people living with persistent symptoms after COVID-19 — especially those who feel unheard, confused, or unsure why their body has not returned to normal.
Many people with Long COVID continue to experience fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, palpitations, pain, dizziness, and gut symptoms long after the initial infection has cleared. Often, medical tests appear normal, leaving patients feeling dismissed or uncertain about what is happening.
This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate explanation of Long COVID that goes beyond the virus itself — focusing on the role of the nervous system and how prolonged dysregulation can drive very real physical symptoms. Using accessible, non-technical language, it explains concepts such as sickness behaviour, autonomic imbalance, and why standard treatments and rehabilitation approaches do not always lead to full recovery.
A central section of the audiobook explores stellate ganglion block (SGB) — a targeted procedure that has gained growing attention as a potential option for some people with Long COVID. You will learn what SGB is, how it works, why it may help certain symptoms, who might be an appropriate candidate, and where its limitations lie. Importantly, SGB is not presented as a cure or guaranteed solution, but as one possible tool within a broader recovery framework.
The later chapters focus on what recovery looks like when it is not linear, including life after SGB, maintaining improvement, and supporting a calmer nervous system through pacing, rest, sleep, and gentle rehabilitation.
This audiobook is not about blame, pressure, or false promises. It is about understanding, dignity, and informed choice — offering reassurance that your symptoms are real and that a thoughtful, hopeful path forward is possible.

The Enigma Story - The Truth...

Dermot Turing

The Enigma cipher was supposed to be the German's impenetrable defence for its military communications against prying eyes during World War II. All manner of secrets were entrusted to it. When the Allies finally managed to crack the code, it heralded a turning point in the war. 
 
This is the fascinating story of how the code was created, adopted by the Nazis, and finally broken. Dermot Turing, the nephew of the great codebreaker Alan Turing, explores the twists and turns of German encryption efforts from the end of World War I through to Hitler's demise and the great lengths to which the Allies went to break it. 
 
The Enigma Story reveals the efforts of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, the machines called 'bombes' specially designed to break it, and the vast resources devoted in America to decrypting German messages. From the cloak-and-dagger heroics of men like Hans-Thilo Schmidt and Gustave Bertrand to the brilliant mathematical discoveries of men like Henryk Zygalski and Dilly Knox to the fraught decision-making of Allied High Command, the battle for the code was at the heart of the Allied victory in World War II.
