Sinossi

Fastest Growing Cities explores the rapid urbanization occurring worldwide and its profound implications. The book argues that understanding these urban centers is key to grasping the trajectory of the 21st century, emphasizing the crucial role they play in shaping global economies and social structures. It highlights how these cities, while engines of economic development, present complex challenges like infrastructure strain and increasing social inequality. A key insight is the significance of sustainable practices to mitigate environmental issues amid unprecedented urban expansion.

 
The book begins by defining and categorizing these rapidly growing cities, then examines the drivers behind their expansion, such as migration and technological innovation. Through case studies, it illustrates the unique factors at play in different urban environments.

 
The final section analyzes the challenges these cities face, from affordable housing shortages to environmental degradation, offering policy recommendations for sustainable urban development. The approach is analytical and fact-based, drawing on data from organizations like the UN and the World Bank to provide valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the forces reshaping our world.

Pandemics - A Very Short...

Christian W. McMillen

The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. In 2019 and the years that followed, the coronavirus pandemic infected every continent and took the lives of millions. In this updated edition, Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease.This Very Short Introduction describes history's major pandemics. McMillen discusses state responses to pandemics, such as quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, and other forms of social control, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosion of medical research in the wake of pandemics, especially as the germ theory of disease emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, medicine is able to control all of these diseases, yet some of them are still devastating in much of the developing world. By assessing the relationship between poverty and disease and the geography of epidemics, McMillen offers an outspoken and thought-provoking point of view on the necessity for global governments to learn from past experiences and cooperate to prevent any future epidemic.

Critical AI in K-12 Classrooms -...

Marie K. Heath, Stephanie Smith...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly integrating into today's classrooms, but unlike other new technologies, AI has the potential to harm, making it difficult to take advantage of its benefits. In Critical AI in K–12 Classrooms, Stephanie Smith Budhai and Marie K. Heath draw attention to the biases embedded within AI algorithms, such as those powering OpenAI's ChatGPT and DALL-E, to guide students and teachers in developing strategies to best incorporate AI—or not—into equitable learning. 
AI's reliance on existing data and knowledge systems means Black, queer, those with disabilities, and other marginalized students are at greater risk of being harmed by built-in limitations and bias. Budhai and Heath show how to circumvent if not actively resist such harms as machine learning, NLPs, LLMS, and GenAI enter the classroom. Their practical guide creatively answers the concerns of educators committed to forward-thinking yet fair instruction and the needs of students eager to use AI for just ends. 
Critical AI in K–12 Classrooms meets the challenges of a key STEM technology with an eye toward cultivating a more just world. Balancing responsible learning with the joy of discovery, Budhai and Heath build a framework for AI instruction that all educators can confidently use.
