Sinossi

In the tumultuous reign of King Charles I, England's maritime destiny hung in the balance. This book takes readers on a captivating journey through the world of seafaring, trade, and naval power during this transformative period in English history.

From the bustling ports of London and Bristol to the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, we explore the maritime realm of 17th-century England. We witness the rise of the Royal Navy, a formidable force that played a pivotal role in shaping England's destiny. The importance of sea trade, fueled by the wealth of the East India Company, is examined, highlighting its profound impact on the English economy and society.

The narrative delves into the maritime dimensions of the English Civil War, a conflict that pitted the Royalists against the Parliamentarians. We follow the Royal Navy's pivotal role in the early stages of the war, its victories and defeats, and its ultimate contribution to the ultimate fate of the monarchy. The book also sheds light on the Dutch Wars, a series of conflicts between England and the Netherlands that further cemented England's maritime dominance.

Beyond warfare, we explore the Age of Exploration, an era of daring voyages and discoveries that expanded England's horizons and brought new wealth and knowledge to the nation. We encounter renowned explorers like Henry Hudson and Francis Drake, whose daring expeditions pushed the boundaries of the known world. The rise of piracy, a scourge of the seas, is also examined, revealing the challenges and dangers faced by seafarers in the 17th century.

Throughout the book, we delve into the lives of key figures who shaped England's maritime destiny during Charles I's reign. From the enigmatic King Charles I himself to the skilled naval commanders and daring explorers who served under him, these individuals played a crucial role in shaping the course of English history. Their stories add a human dimension to the broader narrative, bringing to life the drama and intrigue of this fascinating era.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in English history, maritime history, or the reign of King Charles I. With its rich detail, vivid storytelling, and insightful analysis, it offers a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal period in England's maritime development.

    Dream States - Smart Cities...

    WINNER OF THE 2022 WRITERS’ TRUST BALSILLIE PRIZE FOR PUBLIC POLICY
    		 
    Is the ‘smart city’ the utopia we’ve been waiting for?
    		 
    The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.
    		 
    But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities — one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.
    		 
    Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.
    		 
    “John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life.” – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
    		 
    “Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building.” – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
    		 
    “Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities

    Caring - Caring The Thoughtful...

    Caring is more than just an emotion or an obligation; it is a conscious choice to show interest in the well-being of others. At its core, it is about fostering genuine connections and expressing a concern that transcends mere politeness. In a world that often feels disconnected and fast-paced, the act of caring can be a grounding force for both the giver and the receiver. It can enhance relationships, improve mental health, and create communities where individuals feel valued and understood. 
    One of the key elements of caring is empathy. Empathy involves being able to understand and share the feelings of another person. This allows individuals to connect on a deeper emotional level, recognizing the struggles and joys that others experience. Unlike sympathy, which often involves feeling pity for someone, empathy creates an equal emotional exchange. This emotional resonance is vital in showing genuine concern because it shows that you truly understand another person's experiences, rather than just offering surface-level support. 
    Another important aspect of caring is the idea of presence. To truly care about someone, one must be present—both physically and emotionally. This means putting aside distractions and fully engaging with the other person. The simple act of being there for someone, whether in moments of joy or sadness, communicates a powerful message of support. In this context, caring is not about grand gestures or dramatic acts; sometimes, it is the quiet moments of listening and offering a shoulder to lean on that make the biggest impact.
