Sinopsis

Sinkholes, sudden ground collapses common in karst landscapes, pose significant geohazards. Sinkhole Zone Risks offers a comprehensive guide to understanding, identifying, and mitigating these risks. It emphasizes proactive risk assessment, detailing how ignoring subtle indicators in karst terrain can lead to disastrous consequences for infrastructure and safety. Intriguingly, sinkholes result from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone by groundwater, a process accelerated by environmental factors.

 
The book begins by explaining the geological context of karst regions, focusing on the chemical weathering processes that lead to sinkhole formation. It then transitions to identifying surface and subsurface warning signs, with detailed explanations of geophysical techniques like ground-penetrating radar.

 
Finally, it discusses risk assessment and mitigation strategies, including ground stabilization and land-use planning. Case studies of past sinkhole events are analyzed, providing valuable lessons from successes and failures in prediction and prevention, making this a valuable resource for civil engineers, geologists, and environmental scientists.

    Though the Spanish physically conquered them in quick fashion, the culture and legacy of the Inca Empire has continued to endure throughout the centuries in both Europe and South America, due in no small part to the fact they were one of the most advanced and sophisticated cultures on the continent. Like the Aztecs, the Spanish burned much of the Inca’s extant writings, but it is estimated that as many as 35 million once fell under their banner, and the empire’s administrative skills were so sharp that they kept accurate census records. Their religion, organization, and laws were also effectively centralized and tied to the rulers of the empire, and their military mobilization would have made the ancient Spartans proud. After the Spanish conquest, several rebellions in the area attempted to reestablish the proud Inca Empire over the next two centuries, all while famous Europeans like Voltaire glorified the Inca Empire in optimistic artistic portrayals. 
    The sun was the main element present in the Inca worldview, so Inti, the sun god, was worshipped above all others and, even though the different parts of the empire were allowed to practice their individual beliefs, they were encouraged to venerate the sun. The connection with the sun even extended to their kings since they were considered to be the sons of the sun. Naturally, this meant astronomy was a key component of the Incas’ beliefs, and in addition to the sun, the Inca observed the moon, stars, constellations, and some planets, all of which became integral parts of their cosmology. The Cusco Valley was the heart of the Inca Empire, and many of the Inca's settlements have been found to contain important astronomical elements, providing clear evidence of the importance astronomy had among the Inca.

    In the year 2014, Google fired a shot heard all the way to Detroit. 
    Google’s newest driverless car had no steering wheel and no brakes. The message was clear: cars of the future will be born fully autonomous, with no human driver needed. In the coming decade, self-driving cars will hit the streets, rearranging established industries and reshaping cities, giving us new choices in where we live and how we work and play. 
    In this book, Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman offer readers insight into the risks and benefits of driverless cars and a lucid and engaging explanation of the enabling technology. Recent advances in software and robotics are toppling long-standing technological barriers that for decades have confined self-driving cars to the realm of fantasy. A new kind of artificial intelligence software called deep learning gives cars rapid and accurate visual perception. Human drivers can relax and take their eyes off the road. 
    When human drivers let intelligent software take the wheel, driverless cars will offer billions of people all over the world a safer, cleaner, and more convenient mode of transportation. Although the technology is nearly ready, car companies and policy makers may not be. The authors make a compelling case for why government, industry, and consumers need to work together to make the development of driverless cars our society’s next “Apollo moment.”
