  Gravity's Hidden Partner -...

  Dark matter is one of the most perplexing and elusive concepts in modern astrophysics. It was first proposed in the early 20th century when astronomers and physicists observed that galaxies and galaxy clusters seemed to be moving in ways that couldn't be explained by the visible matter alone. Despite the fact that dark matter cannot be directly seen or measured through conventional means, its existence has been inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. 
  The concept of dark matter emerged after astronomer Fritz Zwicky made an important observation in the 1930s. He noticed that galaxy clusters were moving much faster than they should have been based on the amount of visible matter present in them. In other words, there seemed to be an invisible force or substance that was exerting additional gravitational pull on these galaxies. However, it wasn't until the 1970s when Vera Rubin made similar findings in her studies of galactic rotation curves that the theory of dark matter gained significant traction. 
  Rubin's work revealed that the outer edges of galaxies were rotating faster than expected, based on the amount of visible matter present in them. If only the visible stars, gas, and dust were taken into account, the outer regions should have been moving slower, but they weren't. This discrepancy suggested that there was more mass in these galaxies than what could be seen. This unseen mass was later attributed to dark matter, a substance that doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it undetectable by conventional instruments.

  The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our globalized food system and highlighted the desperate need for local and regional supplies of healthy meat. We must replace corn-based feedlots, which are responsible for significant climate emissions, nitrogen pollution, and animal suffering. Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World outlines a hopeful path out of our broken food system via regional networks of regeneratively produced meat. In 2017, Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger went to market with Big Picture Beef, a company that partners with farmers across the Northeast to increase access to wholesale markets while promoting holistic grazing management techniques. The result? Increased health benefits for consumers, the environment, and livestock. This book compiles information from the fields of ecology, climate science, nutrition, and animal welfare, along with on-the-farm stories from Ridge’s travels as a consultant all over the world. It reveals that regenerative grazing can restore degraded farmland, protect against droughts and floods, increase biodiversity, combat climate change by reducing emissions and sequestering carbon, contribute to regional economic development, and produce nutrient-dense meat for consumers. This book is for anyone wondering how our farmers and ranchers can raise cattle while also caring for the local and global environment. It includes a foreword by Gabe Brown, the bestselling author of Dirt to Soil.

  The Economics of Urban...

  Urban transportation plays a pivotal role in shaping the economic, social, and environmental landscapes of cities. As populations grow and urban areas expand, the movement of people and goods becomes increasingly critical to maintaining economic vitality and quality of life. Urban transportation economics is the study of the costs and benefits associated with transportation systems, focusing on the ways in which these systems contribute to or detract from urban development. 
  At its core, urban transportation economics examines the interplay between infrastructure investments, operational costs, and the benefits derived from mobility and accessibility. Transportation systems enable individuals to commute to work, access essential services, and engage in social activities, while also facilitating the movement of goods that support local businesses and global trade. However, these benefits often come with significant costs, including financial expenses, environmental impacts, and social inequalities. Understanding this balance is crucial for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders who aim to design systems that maximize positive outcomes while minimizing negative externalities. 
  One of the key challenges in urban transportation economics is addressing the concept of externalities. Transportation systems often generate unintended consequences, such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and noise, which affect the broader community. These externalities can lead to market failures, where the true costs of transportation are not fully reflected in the prices users pay. Conversely, transportation systems can also produce positive externalities, such as increased economic activity and improved social cohesion, which are not always adequately valued. Striking a balance between these opposing forces is an essential component of transportation planning and policy.
