Beschreibung

'Urban Consumption' presents a comprehensive examination of one of today's most pressing challenges: how cities, which consume 75% of global natural resources while occupying just 2% of Earth's land mass, can transition toward sustainable resource management. Through a blend of data-driven analysis and case studies spanning six continents, the book explores the intricate relationship between urban growth and material demands, particularly relevant as cities prepare to accommodate an additional 2.5 billion residents by 2050.

 
The book progresses systematically through three main themes: urban metabolic patterns, socioeconomic drivers of consumption, and sustainable management strategies. It traces the evolution of urban resource consumption since the 1950s, examining how factors like housing development, transportation systems, and consumer behavior shape material demands in metropolitan areas. The analysis is enriched by real-world examples, such as Stockholm's bio-waste conversion program and Singapore's closed-loop water management system, demonstrating successful approaches to urban sustainability.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining urban planning, environmental science, and behavioral economics to create detailed urban metabolism profiles. The final third of the book provides practical solutions through a comprehensive toolkit for urban resource optimization, including frameworks for circular economy initiatives and sustainable urban planning strategies. This makes it an invaluable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and citizens interested in transforming city consumption patterns for future generations.

    Among the more than 34,000 species of fish, few have the walleye's following—among anglers and diners, states conferring official status on the fish, and towns battling for recognition as the Walleye Capital of the World. And among those passionate fans, few know the walleye as well as Paul J. Radomski does—a fisheries biologist, lake ecology scientist, and old fisherman. In Walleye: A Beautiful Fish of the Dark he unspools the mysteries of this fascinating fish. 
     
     
     
    Radomski looks at walleye from every angle, with something to say to the curious naturalist, committed ecologist, and avid fishing enthusiast. People who view walleye as the "lion of the lakes" might be surprised to learn that rivers are their ancestral habitat. Some might wonder about the name "wall-eye," a nod to an evolutionary adaptation to dark water environments. Others might ask: what are they, where do they exist, how do they survive, and how have people come to depend on them? Radomski discusses the principles and pitfalls of managing this predator of the twilight and shares his informed perspective on when and where stocking is prudent. He also explores three of the best walleye lakes. 
     
     
     
    From the simple pleasures of fishing for walleye to the most pressing questions about how this species survives, this book is the best word on this beautiful fish of the dark.

    An insightful history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain told through a single sense: touch. 
      
    When, where, and who gets to touch and be touched, and who decides? What do we learn through touch? How does touch bring us closer together or push us apart? These are urgent contemporary questions, but they have their origins in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, when new urban encounters compelled intense discussion of what touch was, and why it mattered. In this vividly written book, Simeon Koole excavates the history of these concerns and reveals how they continue to shape ideas about “touch” in the present. 
      
    Intimate Subjects takes us to the bustling railway stations, shady massage parlors, all-night coffee stalls, and other shared spaces where passengers, customers, vagrants, and others came into contact, leading to new understandings of touch. We travel in crammed subway cars, where strangers negotiated the boundaries of personal space. We visit tea shops where waitresses made difficult choices about autonomy and consent. We enter classrooms in which teachers wondered whether blind children could truly grasp the world and labs in which neurologists experimented on themselves and others to unlock the secrets of touch. We tiptoe through London’s ink-black fogs, in which disoriented travelers became newly conscious of their bodies and feared being accosted by criminals. Across myriad forgotten encounters such as these, Koole shows, touch remade what it meant to be embodied—as well as the meanings of disability, personal boundaries, and scientific knowledge. 
      
    With imagination and verve, Intimate Subjects offers a new way of theorizing the body and the senses, as well as a new way of thinking about embodiment and vulnerability today.
