Distributed World

Simone Malacrida

Publisher: BookRix

Summary

This book, the last of an energy trilogy, outlines a futuristic scenario of a social, energy and political model different from the current one. All aspects that contribute to determining the distributed model through the establishment of the two main pillars, the technological-energy pillar, given by digital energies, and the socio-economic pillar, called the "blue society," are carefully analyzed. A look far beyond the usually proposed predictions of a few decades is constantly present in the writing, and obvious connections are identified between a system of thought and the resulting shared rules that punctuate human life, completing the narrative of a new social structure for a finally sustainable future development.

A Pocket Guide to Pigeon...

Rosemary Mosco

Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
 
 
 
Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
 
 
 
Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

Wild Nature in Urban Edgelands

Christopher Brown

In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Christopher Brown points our that our urban landscape is dotted with abandoned lots. We’ve all noticed them—or not noticed them. These seemingly derelict spaces are often filled with left-behind concrete slabs and littered with old tires, broken-down and rusting washing machines, and other detritus of our throwaway culture. But if you stop and look past the trash, you’ll notice grass and vines are slowly reclaiming these marginal spaces. In that reclaiming, wildlife is eking out a healthful existence outside the human realm. These abandoned places where wild nature collides with the rubble of human domination host a surprising number of species.
Christopher Brown is an accomplished lawyer who has worked on two Supreme Court confirmation hearings. He has also been general counsel for several technology companies. His varied experiences span from restoring prairies to reporting from Central American war zones. His current nonfiction book explores the natural world in urban settings. He is the author of:Failed State: A Novel (Eos 2020)Rule of Capture: A Novel (Eos 2019)The Tropic of Kansas: A Novel (Harper Voyager 2017)The Natural History of Empty Lots: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys, and Other Wild Places (Timber Press 2024).
