Summary

Cities are facing a multitude of environmental, social, and economic challenges, from air pollution and climate change to poverty and inequality. As urbanization continues to accelerate, finding ways to make cities more sustainable is becoming increasingly urgent.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the complex relationship between cities and nature, and provides practical strategies for creating more sustainable urban environments. Drawing on case studies from around the world, the book covers a wide range of topics, including:

* The environmental impact of urbanization, including air pollution, water pollution, and solid waste generation.
* The social and economic consequences of urbanization, such as poverty, inequality, and crime.
* The role of urban planning and governance in promoting sustainability.
* Innovative solutions for urban challenges, such as green infrastructure, smart transportation, and energy efficiency.
* The importance of collaboration between governments, businesses, and communities in achieving urban sustainability.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the challenges and opportunities of urban sustainability. It is a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, architects, engineers, and anyone else who is working to create more livable and sustainable cities.

Cities are complex systems, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges they face. However, by understanding the connections between urbanization and sustainability, we can develop more effective strategies for creating cities that are both prosperous and environmentally responsible.

This book is a call to action for all of us to work together to build more sustainable cities. By investing in green infrastructure, promoting sustainable transportation, and reducing our consumption of resources, we can create cities that are healthier, more resilient, and more equitable for all.

With its in-depth analysis of urban sustainability challenges and solutions, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to create more livable and sustainable cities.

    How many times have you seen a murder on the news or on a TV show like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and said to yourself, "How could someone do something like that?" Today, neuroscientists are imaging, mapping, testing, and dissecting the source of the worst behavior imaginable in the brains of the people who lack a conscience: psychopaths. Neuroscientist Dean Haycock examines the behavior of real life psychopaths and discusses how their actions can be explained in scientific terms, from research that literally looks inside their brains to understanding how psychopaths, without empathy but very goal-oriented, think and act the way they do. Some don't commit crimes at all, but rather make use of their skills in the boardroom. But what does this mean for lawyers, judges, psychiatrists, victims, and listeners—for anyone who has ever wondered how some people can be so bad. Could your nine-year-old be a psychopath? What about your co-worker? The ability to recognize psychopaths using the scientific method has vast implications for society, and yet is still loaded with consequences.

    A closely observed work of narrative nonfiction about four young romance scammers in Lagos, Nigeria, as they struggle to get by in one of the world's most unequal cities.   Ikotun, one of Lagos’s poorest neighborhoods, lies ten miles and a world away from the towers and beaches at the heart of Nigeria’s megacity. By day, the market vibrates with the sound of traders hawking their wares. By night, thousands of workers of another kind begin their shifts in bars and crumbling apartments: these are the Yahoo Boys.   Mostly men in their teens and twenties, many turning to drugs to stay awake as they chat with “clients” overseas, the Yahoo Boys are online romance scammers. Whether impersonating male celebrities or anonymous young women, each year they catfish millions of dollars from victims. Some have attained the status of folk heroes, while thousands more “cash out” only to lose it all.   Inspired by his mother’s own brush with a scammer, the journalist Carlos Barragán takes us on a journey to understand the lives of the Yahoo Boys of Ikotun. We meet Biggy and Chibuike, each struggling with the temptations of fast money; Azeez, a tailor’s apprentice caught between the lure of crime and Nigeria’s economic crisis; and Richie, who is convinced that he’s responsible for the death of a woman in Kentucky he manipulated online for years.   Written with sensitivity and nuance, and posing difficult questions about reparations and the Western loneliness epidemic, The Yahoo Boys is this generation’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers—the work of a blazing new journalistic talent.

    “[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly
