  This is Vinson Chard's second book recounting stories about his time working as a Chemical Engineer. He 'spills the beans' on all the shenanigans perpetrated in the world of hazardous waste. The stories are of his hazardous and light-hearted misadventures while on these excursions and the colourful characters he meets along with way, with curious incidents like being shown some of the seedier areas of a Yorkshire city.There are stories of political intrigue at boardroom level, with company directors brawling in a prestigious Cardiff hotel on rugby International Day and Vinson forced to associate with a duplicitous Knight of the Realm. This is an eclectic mix of true stories and characters, all related with anecdotal humour. From the author of LIFE'S RICH MIX

  "Between the stars and the stone, lies the story of us."
  
  In this seminal collection, H.G. Wells—the "Father of Science Fiction"—takes readers on a journey across the spectrum of existence. From the primitive struggles of our ancestors in "A Story of the Stone Age" to the dystopian urban sprawl of "A Story of the Days to Come," Wells explores how environment and technology shape the human spirit. Featuring the chilling cosmic disaster of "The Star" and the mysterious Martian surveillance in "The Crystal Egg," these five stories serve as a profound meditation on humanity's fragile place in a vast, indifferent universe.
  
  The Origins of Mystery: In "The Crystal Egg," Wells returns to the themes of The War of the Worlds, suggesting that even as we go about our daily lives, we are being watched from across the void. In "The Star," he delivers one of the most powerful descriptions of a global cataclysm ever written, showing how a passing celestial body could rewrite the geography of Earth and the humility of man.
  
  The Future of the Machine: In the novella-length "A Story of the Days to Come," Wells predicts a world of moving sidewalks, synthesized food, and a rigid social hierarchy where the wealthy live in the sun and the poor toil in the subterranean depths. This vision of a "megacity" served as the direct inspiration for later masterpieces like Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
  
  A Struggle for Survival: Wells reminds us that whether we are fighting a cave lion with a flint axe or battling a corporate monopoly in the year 2100, the core of the human experience remains the same: the drive to survive, to love, and to transcend our limitations.

  "This book is so rich with insights, sparkling dialogue, and wisdom that one would love to distribute it like a leaflet around town."
  
  Südwestrundfunk (German radio station)
  "The intellectual dance that the two dare to dance is intelligent, light, humorous, and enchanting."
  
  Süddeutsche Zeitung (German daily)
  "I recommend this book not only to the cybernetics and systems community, but to anyone."
  
  Ranulph Glanville, Cybernetics and Human Knowing
  "Easy and enjoyable to read, without loss of scientific and philosophical depth and rigor. … The reader will find the book difficult to put down."
  
  Bernd R. Hornung, Journal of Sociocybernetics
  Conversations for skeptics
  
  How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?
  
  These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
  The authors:
  Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition.
  Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.

  In recent decades, technology has become a defining force in the development and transformation of cities. From the industrial revolution to the rise of the internet, technological advancements have continually reshaped urban life, making cities hubs of innovation, connectivity, and economic growth. Today, as cities face growing populations, climate change, and resource constraints, technology plays a central role in addressing these challenges while also opening new possibilities for urban living. The integration of digital technologies, automation, and data analytics is driving what we now recognize as the emergence of "smart cities," where every aspect of urban life is enhanced by technology. These advancements not only improve efficiency but also offer the potential to foster more sustainable, livable, and equitable urban environments. 
  The influence of technology in cities extends across various domains, including infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and governance. In terms of urban infrastructure, cities are adopting digital systems for managing everything from electricity grids to water distribution, allowing for more responsive and efficient service delivery. Transportation has also undergone a transformation with the introduction of autonomous vehicles, electric cars, and new mobility services like ride-sharing, reshaping how people move within cities and reducing the environmental impact of urban travel. Similarly, the integration of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices enables real-time data collection that informs city management, improving everything from traffic flow to waste management.
