  The Sociology of Urban Life -...

  Urban sociology is the study of social life and human interaction in metropolitan environments. It is a field that explores the complex dynamics between individuals, communities, and institutions in urban settings. As cities continue to grow and transform, urban sociology provides invaluable insights into the structure and functioning of urban life, offering a lens through which we can understand how cities shape the behaviors, values, and relationships of their inhabitants. 
  The origins of urban sociology trace back to the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the 19th century. As people moved from rural areas to cities in search of better economic opportunities, new social challenges emerged, leading scholars to examine the effects of urban environments on social structures and individual behaviors. Urban sociologists have long been concerned with the ways in which cities influence issues like inequality, social mobility, family dynamics, crime, and community organization. 
  One of the central themes in urban sociology is the concept of social organization. Cities are intricate systems, with diverse populations, complex economies, and a wide range of institutions such as schools, businesses, governments, and religious organizations. Each of these institutions plays a vital role in shaping how people interact with one another and how they navigate their lives in an urban context. By studying these systems, urban sociologists seek to understand how cities function as both social entities and as arenas of competition, cooperation, and conflict.

  Counting: Humans History and the...

  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COUNT? WHY ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES ON EARTH THAT CAN DO IT? WHERE DID COUNTING COME FROM? HOW HAS IT SHAPED SOCIETIES ALONG THE WAY? AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? 
  Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting. 
  Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ’ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers. 
  Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself 
  This best non-fiction book by Wardhaugh is a deep dive into the philosophy and technology behind counting. His teaching style and comprehensive study of mathematics make this book a standout in its genre. 
  For fans of David Spiegelhalter (The Art of Uncertainty), Cat Bohannon (Eve), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Anne Applebaum (Autocracy, Inc), and Peter Frankopan (The New Silk Roads).
