Sinossi

"Green Cities" explores the transformative potential of urban areas in combating climate change, challenging the notion that cities are inherently unsustainable. The book delves into climate-responsive urban design, green infrastructure integration, and sustainable transportation systems, presenting a vision of cities as regenerative ecosystems rather than environmental burdens. With over 70% of global carbon emissions originating from urban centers, the book argues that cities hold the key to mitigating climate change while enhancing livability.
The book's approach combines historical context with cutting-edge research, utilizing case studies, climate models, and economic analyses to support its arguments. It introduces readers to concepts like biomimicry in urban design, exploring how cities can emulate natural systems to become more efficient and resilient. The book progresses through three main sections, covering nature-inspired urban planning, green infrastructure implementation, and reimagining urban mobility.
What sets "Green Cities" apart is its systems-thinking approach, viewing cities as complex, interconnected organisms. This perspective allows for innovative solutions that address multiple urban challenges simultaneously, making the book valuable for urban planners, policymakers, architects, and engaged citizens alike. By presenting practical strategies and acknowledging implementation challenges, the book offers a hopeful and actionable blueprint for urban transformation in the face of climate change.

The Jupiter Sun - The Greatest...

Michael Mathiesen

This book was inspired by my previous work of Science Fiction in: 'The Book To End All Books'. At the climactic conclusion of that book, I realized that we didn't have the 1,000 years I gave humankind to create a 2nd sun in the sky. We would be extinct by then and long buried in the debris of our own destruction.
So, I decided to put all the speculative knowledge that I had learned from my science fiction novel into use in this book in hopes that perhaps humanity would be wise enough to give it a try. We can do this. We can ignite Jupiter and create a 2nd sun. And, I also answer the question - Why would we do this?
Humanity has some major challenges to its continued existence that are caused by our technology. But now we have the opportunity to use our advanced space and rocket technology and our laser Fusion Reactor technology to combine them into a major project for the world to take on.
We can use our current knowledge of nuclear fusion and space travel to send a team to create a station on the four moons of Jupiter and shoot high energy red laser beams into the hydrogen core of Jupiter to ignite the gas giant into a 2nd sun in our sky. Don't worry - Jupiter is five times further away from us than our present sun, so it would not create any significant amounts of additional heat. It's also 1,000 times smaller than our 1st sun, so again, we have nothing to fear from increased heat. BUT, we would gain twice as much FREE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLAR ENERGY from another sun and this could be utilized by both the Earth and Mars to save our species.
