Sinopse

Incan Agriculture explores the sophisticated and sustainable farming techniques of the Inca Empire, revealing how they fed a vast population in the challenging Andean environment. The book focuses on key innovations like terracing, which maximized arable land on steep slopes, and advanced irrigation systems that efficiently distributed water. The Incas also excelled at crop selection, prioritizing varieties suited for high altitudes, ensuring food security. Understanding these agricultural practices, developed centuries ago, offers valuable insights for modern agricultural challenges. The book examines the historical and environmental context of Incan agriculture, highlighting its adaptability across diverse ecosystems. Through an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and modern scientific studies, it demonstrates the interconnectedness of Incan farming practices with their environment, social structures, and cultural beliefs. It progresses systematically, beginning with the fundamentals of Andean agriculture, dedicating chapters to terracing, irrigation, and crop selection, then analyzing the social and economic aspects of agricultural production, and concluding with the lasting legacy of Incan agriculture.

    This short paper on logic argues that logic and science can go hand in hand, and that, by taking observations of perceptions and sensations, and applying logical analysis to them, you have the power to build conceptual models and frameworks that you can use in order to predict what you should do in the future and to reason how to solve the problems in your life. Examples from hard science, and examples of the use of science and logic in the courtroom to understand legal arguments, are presented, as well examples of how to figure out the answers to the mundane ordinary problems that we humans have in our lives. 
    Mandatory must-read for anyone who wants to think and live using logic.

    How do we build cities where we aren't just living within the same urban space, but living together?
    
     
    Greater Toronto is now home to a larger proportion of foreign-born residents than any other major global metropolis. Not surprisingly, city officials rarely miss an opportunity to tout the region’s ethno-cultural neighbourhoods. Yet there’s strong evidence that the GTA is experiencing widening socio-economic disparities that have produced worrisome divisions. We say that ‘diversity is our strength,’ but has a feel-good catchphrase prevented us from confronting the forces that seem to be separating and isolating urban communities?
    
     
    Through compelling storytelling and analysis, Subdivided’s contributors – a wide range of place-makers, academics, activists and journalists – ask how we can expand city-building processes to tackle issues ranging from transit equity and trust-based policingto holistic mental health, dignified affordable housing and inclusive municipal governance. Ultimately, Subdivided aims to provoke the tough but pressing conversations required to build a truly connected and just city.
