  How inequality was forged, fought over, and forgotten through public policy in metropolitan Chicago. As in many American metropolitan areas, inequality in Chicagoland is visible in its neighborhoods. These inequalities are not inevitable, however. They have been constructed and deepened by public policies around housing, schooling, taxation, and local governance, including hidden state government policies.In Structuring Inequality, historian Tracy L. Steffes shows how metropolitan inequality in Chicagoland was structured, contested, and naturalized over time even as reformers tried to change it through school desegregation, affordable housing, and property tax reform. While these efforts had modest successes in the city and the suburbs, reformers faced significant resistance and counter-mobilization from affluent suburbanites, real estate developers, and other defenders of the status quo who defended inequality and reshaped the policy conversation about it. Grounded in comprehensive archival research and policy analysis, Structuring Inequality examines the history of Chicagoland’s established systems of inequality and provides perspective on the inequality we live with today.

  ER: Existence Reality and Time

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  ER: Existence, Reality and Time continues the journey begun in Time Explained: Introduction into the World of Becoming. While the earlier book offered a broad introduction to the mysteries of time and first outlined the framework of Existential Realism (ER), this new work takes the next step: a deep dive into the philosophical heart of ER. 
  At once rigorous and accessible, the book explores how existence unfolds in the present, how reality extends into past and future, and why becoming—rather than static being—must stand at the center of our understanding of time. It responds to the many questions raised by Time Explained, clarifying, expanding, and strengthening the vision of a temporal system that unites lived experience with scientific insight.

  Inside the Invisible Cage - How...

  In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an "invisible cage." 
   
   
    
  Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people. 
   
   
    
  Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.

  A lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a remarkable and charming orphaned beaver kit.On May 10, 2020, an orphaned beaver kit was found in St. Albans, Vermont and handed over to John Aberth, a licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator. Over the next two years, John raised the kit, whom he nicknamed "BK," and prepared him for release back into the wild. During that time, John and BK developed a special and unique bond, which John documented in a daily diary. That diary became the basis for Bringing Up Beaver, a lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a wild animal.Bringing Up Beaver is more than just a feel-good story about human encounters with nature. Full of fascinating observations about beaver behavior and biology, Bringing Up Beaver also documents the unique challenges and obstacles to be faced and overcome in rehabbing a wild beaver kit. Populating the story are plenty of other wild creatures that John encountered in the course of his rehab, including other beavers—one of whom became BK's mate—as well as hawks, owls, mink, and weasels. For anyone who has been charmed by a beaver's smile or enjoyed books like Fox and I and Eager, Bringing Up Beaver is a must-listen that will give us a new perspective on the wildlife and nature that exists all around us.
