Fastest Winds explores the powerful forces of extreme wind events, blending Earth sciences, geography, and nature. It examines the science behind these weather phenomena, their historical impact, and the technologies used to predict them. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding extreme winds, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, for meteorologists and communities alike, especially as climate change influences these events. Did you know that the intensity of these events is influenced by factors like air pressure and temperature gradients? Or that Doppler radar plays a crucial role in predicting these storms? The book progresses by first laying a foundation in basic meteorological principles, then moves to analyzing specific extreme wind events, and finally examines the technologies used in forecasting. It's structured around three major themes: historical records, the science of wind formation, and forecasting technologies. For example, the book delves into case studies like Hurricane Katrina to provide concrete examples of the concepts discussed. This approach offers readers a comprehensive understanding of extreme winds, highlighting the need for preparedness and informed decision-making.

Maude Barlow

“Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
		 
“It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
		 
In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.

The Digital Factory - The Human...

Moritz Altenried

The Digital Factory reveals the hidden human labor that supports today’s digital capitalism. 
  
The workers of today’s digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labor. 
  
The workers of today’s digital factory are not as far removed from a typical auto assembly line as we might think. Moritz Altenried takes us inside today’s digital factories, showing that they take very different forms, including gig economy platforms, video games, and Amazon warehouses. As Altenried shows, these digital factories often share surprising similarities with factories from the industrial age. As globalized capitalism and digital technology continue to transform labor around the world, Altenried offers a timely and poignant exploration of how these changes are restructuring the social division of labor and its geographies as well as the stratifications and lines of struggle.
