Summary

Biggest Cities explores the rise of megacities, massive urban areas reshaping our world. It investigates the historical context, from ancient settlements to modern metropolises, and analyzes the demographic and economic forces driving urbanization. The book unveils how factors like industrialization and migration patterns have fueled urban growth, leading to both opportunities and challenges. One intriguing fact is that while megacities can be hubs of economic development, their unmanaged expansion often strains resources and exacerbates social inequalities.

 
The book progresses by defining key concepts, examining specific cases like Tokyo and Delhi, and then presenting potential solutions for sustainable urban development. It emphasizes an integrated approach, considering social, political, and cultural dimensions alongside economic and environmental aspects. By drawing connections between Earth Sciences, Geography, and World History, Biggest Cities offers a holistic perspective. For instance, the book highlights how geographical analysis reveals spatial patterns and regional disparities within megacities, while historical perspectives illuminate the long-term consequences of urbanization.

 
This comprehensive analysis makes it a valuable resource for understanding the complex forces shaping our urban future.

    Acadia was made where stone, ice, and ocean met.

Granite formed deep underground. Glaciers reshaped mountains and valleys. Rising seas flooded a broken coast. Tide, forest, fire, wind, and weather continue to remake the island edge.

William Stanek's The Living Acadia Biography follows that landscape through Wabanaki relationships, coastal travel, settlement, tourism, philanthropy, preservation, road and carriage-road design, fire, ecological change, and the creation of a national park unlike any other.

Acadia's intimacy can make it seem simple.

Its biography reveals a complicated coastal world shaped not only by nature, but by choices about land, access, design, ownership, memory, and what kind of landscape Americans believed should endure.

    **A London Review Bookshop Bestseller** 
'Translated into English for the first time after a hugely successful 2022 reissue in Japan, this classic text, which features prominently in Wim Wenders’ film Perfect Days, takes us on a “beautiful, pensive” journey through trees in Japan.'--Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller 
A Japanese classic, Tree invites us to foster peace in our lives by connecting with trees. 
Cherry blossom, hinoki, ezo spruce. Persimmon, maple, cypress. The trees of Japan are wondrous emblems of beauty that cast a spell on those who venture to its unique landscape. 
As a child, Aya Koda realized they were more than mere objects of beauty. Gifted a sapling by her father, she discovered that we depend on trees as much as they do on us. Markers of time passing, they clear the air and regenerate our earth – while we are responsible to care for their future. 
Following her travels around Japan, as she witnesses landslides, lumber and forests of falling ash, Tree is a beautiful series of essays that contemplate the most distinctive and eternal features of our natural world. A modern classic translated for the first time, Koda’s voice echoes down the generations, to remind us that trees hold a mirror to what we cherish on earth, and what we choose to leave behind. 
Featured in Wim Winders’ Oscar-nominated film Perfect Days and now in English for the first time, translated from Japanese by Charlotte Goff.
