Synopsis

Highway Sensors explores the revolutionary impact of sensor networks on modern transportation systems. It highlights how these technologies are reshaping road monitoring and traffic management, offering solutions to challenges like congestion and inefficient resource allocation. The book reveals that intelligent sensor networks are more than just incremental improvements; they are fundamental game-changers that create safer and more sustainable transportation systems. These networks enable proactive traffic management, improved incident detection, and optimized resource allocation.

The book provides a comprehensive understanding of highway sensor technology, beginning with the basics of sensor networks and their application to road monitoring. It delves into various sensor types, such as inductive loop detectors, radar, and cameras, explaining their strengths, weaknesses, and integration into traffic management systems. Later chapters focus on data analytics and algorithms used to extract meaningful information from sensor data streams, improving responses to changing road conditions.

The book uses real-world deployments and case studies to show the practical applications and potential impact of these technologies. Targeted at transportation engineers, urban planners, and students, Highway Sensors emphasizes actionable insights and best practices. It bridges civil engineering, computer science, and data analytics to provide a holistic view. The book addresses ongoing debates, such as privacy concerns with data collection, presenting a balanced perspective on the transformative potential and challenges of sensor networks in shaping the future of roadways.

Planta Sapiens - The New Science...

Paco Calvo, Natalie Lawrence

An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
 
 
 
Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
 
 
 
A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

Clash at Sunday Creek: Rum...

Jobie Joseph Siemer

The Tombstone of Early Ohio   Southeast Ohio's Little Cities of Black Diamonds was a rugged region in the 1800s. Nowhere was this truer than in Corning and Rendville, mining towns reminiscent of the Wild West era. Gun duels, scandals, lynchings, and murders plagued these places, as intrepid European immigrants and tenacious Black miners relied on raw grit to survive rowdy saloons and perilous coal mines. These impoverished workers also took bold stands against affluent mine operators, leading to intense clashes with the Ohio National Guard./ Author and former Green Beret Jobie Siemer reveals stories of formidable union conflicts and the unyielding resilience of miners whose faith was a beacon in a chaotic struggle to restore order to Sunday Creek./

How to Make a Killing - Blood...

Tom Mueller

Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
 
 
 
With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
 
 
 
How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.
