  In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Christopher Brown points our that our urban landscape is dotted with abandoned lots. We’ve all noticed them—or not noticed them. These seemingly derelict spaces are often filled with left-behind concrete slabs and littered with old tires, broken-down and rusting washing machines, and other detritus of our throwaway culture. But if you stop and look past the trash, you’ll notice grass and vines are slowly reclaiming these marginal spaces. In that reclaiming, wildlife is eking out a healthful existence outside the human realm. These abandoned places where wild nature collides with the rubble of human domination host a surprising number of species.  
  Christopher Brown is an accomplished lawyer who has worked on two Supreme Court confirmation hearings. He has also been general counsel for several technology companies. His varied experiences span from restoring prairies to reporting from Central American war zones. His current nonfiction book explores the natural world in urban settings. He is the author of:Failed State: A Novel (Eos 2020)Rule of Capture: A Novel (Eos 2019)The Tropic of Kansas: A Novel (Harper Voyager 2017)The Natural History of Empty Lots: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys, and Other Wild Places (Timber Press 2024).

  A Country of Two Agricultures

  Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.
  These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.
  A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.
  Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.
  Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security.
  Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

  Artificial intelligence doesn't want you to think. Are you ready to have it decide for you? This book is a practical guide to living in a world where machines with artificial intelligence will think and make decisions for us.
  
  This book is an invitation to explore the depths of what it means to be human in a predicted scenario where machines will be as intelligent as humans in many ways, or even more so, relieving us of the task of thinking, at least out of practical necessity for survival. While that future that many promise arrives, I invite the reader to exercise their right to be human and think for themselves, based on the ideas presented here.

  Hyperplan- Crater city - Mitzpe...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Hyperplan is a bold architectural audiobook about designing cities as living organisms rather than fixed masterplans.  
  Through the charged landscape of Mitzpe Ramon and the edge of the desert crater, Moshe Katz develops a new way of thinking about urban life: one that responds to vastness, climate, memory, movement, uncertainty, and human imagination. The desert becomes a teacher. The crater becomes a spatial force.  
   
  The city becomes something alive, adaptive, and capable of holding both daily life and infinity. This audiobook is for architects, planners, designers, students, and visionaries who want to move beyond static urban planning into a more responsive and poetic model of city-making.  
   
  Hyperplan asks what happens when a town, a landscape, and a horizon are read together, and when architecture begins to design not only buildings but also relationships among people, place, and the larger world.
