Sinopse

Urban Air Pollution explores the critical issue of air quality in our cities, where a large percentage of the global population resides. The book investigates the sources of major pollutants—such as particulate matter from vehicle emissions and industrial processes—and their profound impacts on public health, including respiratory illnesses and cardiovascular diseases. A key insight is the spatial variability of pollution within urban areas, highlighting how certain populations are disproportionately affected. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from earth sciences, geography, environmental science, and public health to provide a comprehensive understanding. It examines various strategies for improving air quality, from emission control technologies to sustainable transportation, and emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making. Using established scientific research and diverse data sources, the book progresses through chapters that analyze the problem, assess its impact, and propose evidence-based solutions while utilizing geographic information systems (GIS) to map pollution hotspots. This resource is valuable because it equips readers with the knowledge to advocate for cleaner air and understand the complexities of balancing economic development with environmental protection. It is aimed at students, researchers, policymakers, and citizens concerned about environmental health and the urban environment.

    Your organization has made the decision to adopt automation and artificial intelligence technologies. Now, you face difficult and stubborn questions about how to implement that decision: How, when, and where should we apply automation in our organization? Is it a stark choice between humans versus machines? How do we stay on top of these technological trends as work and automation continue to evolve? 
     
     
     
    Work and human capital experts Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau present leaders with a new set of tools to answer these daunting questions. Transcending the endless debate about humans being replaced by machines, Jesuthasan and Boudreau show how smart leaders instead are optimizing human-automation combinations that are not only more efficient but also generate higher returns on improved performance. 
     
     
     
    Based on groundbreaking primary research, Reinventing Jobs provides an original, structured approach of four distinct steps—deconstruct, optimize, automate, and reconfigure—to help leaders reinvent how work gets bundled into jobs and create optimal human-machine combinations. Jesuthasan and Boudreau show leaders how to continuously reexamine what a job really is, and they provide the tools for identifying the pivotal performance value of tasks within jobs and how these tasks should be reconstructed into new, more optimal combinations.

    The secret world of animals at night, and a call to preserve the endangered darkness they inhabit, by an intrepid wildlife biologist 
     
     
     
    When the sun has set, things get interesting with wild animals. Where people wait for buses during the day, a family of raccoons rummages through the trash can. Foxes and skunks search for food; fireflies send flashing signals to potential mates; owls and bats fly overhead. Night is not just a time, but a diverse habitat that we still know too little about. Wildlife biologist Sophia Kimmig is on the trail of the secrets of the night. Not only does she introduce its wild inhabitants, but she also shows what it's like to live in this parallel world—how it came to be, what it looks like, feels like, and smells like—in this fascinating journey into the wonders of the night.

    The Lagoon - Encounters with the...

    Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
     
     
     
    Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
     
     
     
    A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.

    Venture Smith (1729–1805) was an African captured as a child and transported to the American colonies to be sold as a slave. As an adult, he purchased his freedom and that of his family. His history was documented when he gave a narrative of his life to a schoolteacher, who wrote it down and published it under the title A Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Venture, a Native of Africa: But Resident above Sixty Years in the United States of America, Related by Himself.
