    Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
     
     
     
    In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
     
     
     
    From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
     
     
     
    ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
     
     
     
    ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
     
     
     
    ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
     
     
     
    This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.

    The Jewish Diaspora - How Global...

    The origins of the Jewish Diaspora trace back to the ancient period, particularly during the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE. This event marked the beginning of a prolonged period of Jewish displacement, which would stretch over thousands of years and shape Jewish history, culture, and identity. The early history of the Jewish Diaspora is rooted in the geopolitical conflicts of the ancient world, where empires and kingdoms frequently clashed, leading to the forced relocation of populations. 
    In 586 BCE, the Babylonian Empire, under King Nebuchadnezzar II, destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem and exiled a large portion of the Jewish population to Babylon, modern-day Iraq. This marked the first significant moment of Jewish displacement and established the foundation of the Jewish Diaspora. While some Jews returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian Empire fell to the Persians in 539 BCE, a large number chose to remain in Babylon, where they were able to build communities and maintain their religious practices. This shift from a centralized community in Jerusalem to a more dispersed existence set the stage for future Jewish migrations. 
    The period following the destruction of the First Temple saw the rise of Jewish communities in the Persian Empire. The Jewish population in Babylon continued to grow, while new communities were established in Persia, Egypt, and other parts of the empire. In these areas, Jews were able to maintain their cultural and religious identities, particularly through their synagogues and study of the Torah. The influence of Jewish scholars and religious leaders during this period helped to solidify Jewish traditions and practices that would endure throughout the centuries.

    In RNJesus They Trust: Game Design, Your Time & Your Luck is a witty, sharp-eyed exploration of randomness in modern gaming — and how it blesses, tests, or exploits the players who kneel before it. From the ecstatic thrill of a rare drop to the soul-crushing grind of gacha pulls, game developers have turned RNG (random number generation) into a design pillar that fuels excitement and monetization. But where does randomness stop being fun and start wasting your time — or draining your wallet? This book unpacks that question across genres: MMOs, gacha games, roguelikes, shooters, and strategy titles. It blends game design insight with psychological analysis and a dash of sacred satire, portraying “RNJesus” as the unpredictable deity we’ve all prayed to at 2 AM. Whether you're a game designer, critic, or lifelong gamer tired of losing to the dice, this book offers clarity, laughter, and empowerment. Learn to recognize fair design, spot exploitative patterns, and advocate for gaming systems that respect your time — and your luck.
