Beschreibung

Flood Waters Recede explores how communities can rebuild stronger after devastating floods by connecting community cooperation with sustainable engineering. As climate change intensifies and urbanization expands, the book emphasizes the importance of resilient design and community engagement in not only restoring what was lost but also creating lasting defenses against future disasters. Did you know that integrating nature-based solutions, like constructed wetlands, can significantly reduce flood impacts while enhancing local ecosystems?

 
The book highlights instances where collaborative efforts and innovative engineering have led to successful recoveries and examines failures where these elements were missing. The book argues for a shift from top-down approaches to a model that values local knowledge and promotes community ownership. It begins by introducing resilient design principles and examining case studies from various locations.

 
Sections delve into community organizing, sustainable engineering solutions, and policy frameworks that incentivize resilience.

 
Ultimately, Flood Waters Recede provides a practical guide for policymakers, engineers, and community leaders, offering actionable steps for implementing integrated rebuilding strategies and fostering disaster resilience.

The Anatomy of Deception -...

Sara E. Gorman

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
 
 
 
The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.
