  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.

  "This is a delightful account of one of the deepest and most fascinating explorations going on today at the frontier of our knowledge." —Carlo Rovelli, bestselling author of The Order of Time and Seven Brief Lessons on PhysicsA revelatory exploration of how a "theory of everything" depends upon our understanding of the human mindThe whole goal of physics is to explain what we observe. For centuries, physicists believed that observations yielded faithful representations of what is out there. But when they began to study the subatomic realm, they found that observation often interferes with what is being observed—that the act of seeing changes what we see. The same is true of cosmology: our view of the universe is inevitably distorted by observation bias. And so whether they’re studying subatomic particles or galaxies, physicists must first explain consciousness—and for that they must turn to neuroscientists and philosophers of mind.Neuroscientists have painstakingly built up an understanding of the structure of the brain. Could this help physicists understand the levels of self-organization they observe in other systems? These same physicists, meanwhile, are trying to explain how particles organize themselves into the objects around us. Could their discoveries help explain how neurons produce our conscious experience?Exploring these questions and more, George Musser tackles the extraordinary interconnections between quantum mechanics, cosmology, human consciousness, and artificial intelligence. Combining vivid descriptions with portraits of scientists working on the cutting edge, Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation shows how theories of everything depend on theories of mind—and how they might be one and the same.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  Understanding Virtual Reality -...

  Virtual Reality, often abbreviated as VR, is a groundbreaking technology that enables users to immerse themselves in computer-generated environments that feel remarkably real. Unlike traditional media, which presents information on a flat screen, VR creates a three-dimensional space where users can look around, move, and sometimes even interact with digital elements as if they were physically present. This sense of immersion is what sets VR apart and makes it such a powerful and transformative tool. 
  The concept of virtual reality has existed for decades, with its roots stretching back to the 1960s. Early prototypes like the Sensorama and the first head-mounted displays laid the groundwork for what would eventually become modern VR systems. Over the years, technological advancements in computing power, display quality, motion tracking, and software development have allowed VR to evolve from a niche curiosity into a versatile tool with applications across numerous industries. The introduction of consumer-grade headsets in the 2010s, such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, marked a turning point in accessibility and interest in VR experiences. 
  A complete VR system typically consists of several key components. At the core is the headset, which provides stereoscopic visuals and often includes built-in motion sensors to track head movements. Many headsets are paired with hand controllers, allowing users to interact with objects or navigate virtual environments more naturally. Some systems incorporate additional accessories like haptic gloves, treadmills, or external sensors to enhance realism and expand the user’s range of motion. Software is equally important, as it governs the design of virtual spaces, the behavior of virtual elements, and the overall user experience.
