  Facundo Conforti

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. More than a century has passed since humans conquered the sky. Like any conquest, it required assuming countless risks to achieve it. Once achieved, the process of consolidation begins, along with stabilization. Time and hard work are what allow this stabilization to be secure. 
   
  Just like in every human conquest, this process has not escaped the chronological logic of growth. Of course, aviation is not exempt from this developmental mechanism of conquests. Unfortunately, for this industry, the process of growth comes with the loss of lives. 
   
  After more than a century of conquest, it could be said that the aviation industry is in the stabilization phase, achieving established, reliable, and sustainable safety standards. If we have reached this stage, it is the result of work, research, study, and the construction of what we now know as a safety culture. 
   
  The conquest of the sky and safe aviation require constant actions to maintain and increase the levels of safety that have been achieved. That is why this work highlights the most significant aspects of the development of concepts and techniques that have served, served, and will continue to serve flight crews in maintaining and improving the mentioned standards.

  Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
   
   
   
  In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
   
   
   
  Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

  Dying Green - A Journey through...

  The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
   
   
    
  In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) pervades much of our lives. We use facial recognition to open our phones, and the state uses it to track us—so what’s the problem? Decisions are made using machine learning on our private and personal data, from shopping habits to medical history—have we lost control? We order our digital world in conversation with chatbots—how convenient, but is it changing our relationships with people? The prospect of a self-driving vehicle lies just around the corner—should we care that it might run over a child to save the passenger’s life?Jeremy Peckham shows us how we have become seduced by progress, embracing AI applications for their convenience, yet unwittingly diminishing our ability to be God’s image-bearers and losing moral responsibility. Rooted in the biblical truth that humanity is created in God’s image, Masters or Slaves? explores six ways in which AI has an impact today. We are challenged where, and how, to set boundaries, both privately and as a society, in order not to fall into addiction, slavery, and idolatry.
