Summary

Smart City Progress explores how cities are using technology to improve citizens' lives, focusing on sustainability and efficiency. It examines intelligent traffic management and digitized public services as key elements of urban innovation, highlighting the importance of data analytics and sensor technologies. A crucial insight is that successful smart city initiatives require prioritizing citizen engagement and data privacy, shifting the focus from technology itself to broader social and environmental goals.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental concepts like the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, then delves into specific applications, such as smart grids for energy efficiency. Case studies of global smart city projects are presented, alongside discussions of the ethical and policy implications of data-driven urban governance.

 
By emphasizing citizen-centric design, Smart City Progress uniquely advocates for empowering citizens through technology while addressing concerns about algorithmic bias and cybersecurity. The book's approach is to guide readers through the complexities of smart city development, providing practical guidance for urban planners, policymakers, and technology professionals. It incorporates empirical evidence from case studies and statistical analyses, drawing connections to environmental science, sociology, and political science. This interdisciplinary approach underscores the need for collaborative solutions in creating sustainable and livable urban environments.

    The ear, nose, and throat (ENT) are interconnected structures that perform essential functions such as hearing, balance, respiration, and vocalization. Their anatomical complexity allows them to work together efficiently, contributing to overall health and communication. 
    The ear is divided into three main sections: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. The outer ear consists of the auricle (pinna) and the external auditory canal, which collect and direct sound waves toward the tympanic membrane (eardrum). The middle ear houses the ossicles—the malleus, incus, and stapes—which amplify sound vibrations and transmit them to the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure that converts sound waves into electrical impulses sent to the brain via the auditory nerve. The inner ear also includes the vestibular system, which regulates balance through the semicircular canals and otolithic organs that detect head movements and spatial orientation. 
    The nose serves both respiratory and olfactory functions. It is structurally divided into the external nose and the internal nasal cavity. The external nose consists of bone and cartilage, while the nasal cavity is lined with mucosa and separated by the nasal septum. Inside the nasal cavity, the nasal conchae (turbinates) filter, warm, and humidify incoming air. The olfactory epithelium, located in the upper nasal cavity, contains specialized receptors that detect odors and transmit sensory information to the brain through the olfactory nerve. Additionally, the paranasal sinuses—frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid—contribute to voice resonance, mucus production, and the reduction of skull weight.

    Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. 
     
     
     
    The problem is, none of this—whether individual efforts or corporate sustainability tactics—will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change. We only pretend it will, at our peril. 
     
     
     
    As Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth is that much of the modern environmental road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. But there is another truth: while ineffective or duplicitous environmentalism has become standard practice, we all have friends and family we love and care about, whose future depends on solving the problem of climate change. Conscience tells us we have an obligation to repair the world. How can our common dreams be so at odds with our daily practice? And how might we meld our spirit and our passion to create a better future?
