  And No Birds Sang

  Farley Mowat

  Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm—if non-regulation—clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair. With a naturalist's eyes and ears, Mowat takes in the full dark depths of war—and his moving account of military service, and the friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace. It is one of the most searing and unforgettable World War II memoirs from any Canadian.

  The Economics of Urban...

  Urban transportation plays a pivotal role in shaping the economic, social, and environmental landscapes of cities. As populations grow and urban areas expand, the movement of people and goods becomes increasingly critical to maintaining economic vitality and quality of life. Urban transportation economics is the study of the costs and benefits associated with transportation systems, focusing on the ways in which these systems contribute to or detract from urban development. 
  At its core, urban transportation economics examines the interplay between infrastructure investments, operational costs, and the benefits derived from mobility and accessibility. Transportation systems enable individuals to commute to work, access essential services, and engage in social activities, while also facilitating the movement of goods that support local businesses and global trade. However, these benefits often come with significant costs, including financial expenses, environmental impacts, and social inequalities. Understanding this balance is crucial for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders who aim to design systems that maximize positive outcomes while minimizing negative externalities. 
  One of the key challenges in urban transportation economics is addressing the concept of externalities. Transportation systems often generate unintended consequences, such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and noise, which affect the broader community. These externalities can lead to market failures, where the true costs of transportation are not fully reflected in the prices users pay. Conversely, transportation systems can also produce positive externalities, such as increased economic activity and improved social cohesion, which are not always adequately valued. Striking a balance between these opposing forces is an essential component of transportation planning and policy.
