  Dogopolis - How Dogs and Humans...

  Dogopolis presents a surprising source for urban innovation in the history of three major cities: human-canine relationships. 
    
  Stroll through any American or European city today and you probably won’t get far before seeing a dog being taken for a walk. It’s expected that these domesticated animals can easily navigate sidewalks, streets, and other foundational elements of our built environment. But what if our cities were actually shaped in response to dogs more than we ever realized? 
   
  Chris Pearson’s Dogopolis boldly and convincingly asserts that human-canine relations were a crucial factor in the formation of modern urban living. Focusing on New York, London, and Paris from the early nineteenth century into the 1930s, Pearson shows that human reactions to dogs significantly remolded them and other contemporary western cities. It’s an unalterable fact that dogs—often filthy, bellicose, and sometimes off-putting—run away, spread rabies, defecate, and breed wherever they like, so as dogs became a more and more common in nineteenth-century middle-class life, cities had to respond to people’s fear of them and revulsion at their least desirable traits. The gradual integration of dogs into city life centered on disgust at dirt, fear of crime and vagrancy, and the promotion of humanitarian sentiments. On the other hand, dogs are some people’s most beloved animal companions, and human compassion and affection for pets and strays were equally powerful forces in shaping urban modernity. Dogopolis details the complex interrelations among emotions, sentiment, and the ways we manifest our feelings toward what we love—showing that together they can actually reshape society.

  Against Technoableism -...

  When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
   
   
   
  In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
   
   
   
  This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

  Introduction to Software...

  Software development is the process of designing, building, testing, and maintaining software applications that solve specific problems or perform particular tasks. It involves various stages, starting from the initial idea to the final deployment of an application. To understand software development, it's essential to look at the different components that make it a structured and iterative process. 
  At its core, software development is about problem-solving. It’s a way to create programs that automate tasks, facilitate communication, or offer solutions to real-world problems. The process typically follows a lifecycle known as the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which includes phases like planning, designing, coding, testing, and maintenance. Each stage of the SDLC is crucial because it helps ensure that the software is built systematically, efficiently, and in alignment with user needs. 
  In any software development project, there are various roles that contribute to the process. The most well-known roles are software developers, but there are many others who play vital parts. These include project managers, who oversee the project and ensure it stays on track, and business analysts, who work to ensure that the software meets the needs of its users. Designers are responsible for creating user-friendly interfaces and experiences, while testers ensure that the software is functioning correctly and free of bugs.

  Dimming the Sun - The Urgent...

  A groundbreaking, vital examination of a powerful—and extremely controversial—stopgap solution to looming climate catastrophe 
   
   
   
  Earth stands at a tipping point. As we fail to curtail emissions fast enough, our planet stares down a cascade of imminent, catastrophic, and irreversible disaster triggered by climate change. Yet a potent technology already exists to buy us more time: solar geoengineering. Through methods such as atmospheric aerosols, human-generated cirrus clouds, and solar sails, we humans can—at least in the short term—slow the Earth's warming. Should we? 
   
   
   
  Award-winning science writer Thomas Ramge's Dimming the Sun is his provocative, informative, urgent, and necessary exploration of this intriguing stopgap solution. Ramge shows us how the science works, what the risks are—both geophysical and political—and how the international community might come together to agree on and regulate a safe and effective plan for geoengineering. And while he identifies the unknowns about the technology that remain, he believes this very uncertainty demands our full attention. With time to avert the worst of climate change rapidly running out, he makes a forceful case that the most responsible course of action is to dramatically increase research on solar geoengineering now—before it's too late.
