Описание: The streets and roads constitute an enormous part of civil infrastructure and a large part of our cities- a social resource that must be properly managed and developed. Therefore, many road construction companies, contractors, transport and traffic administrations and municipalities are seeking for new road design models that can withstand modern challenges and demands. Advances in Design and Testing of Future Smart Roads: Considering Urbanization, Digitalization, Electrification and Climate Change deals with adapting current road designs to better withstand these future challenges as well as optimizing their structural design. Furthermore, the book illustrates recommendations and models for street/road sections, including the road section with a reconfigurable design, which can be used in both reconstruction and new construction of roads. Features:• Covers road testbeds that meet the challenge of future urbanization, including digitalization and electrification• Provides recommendations for potential climate change impacts, including flooding and ice accumulation problems • Introduces the concept of reconfigurable and removable streets including recommendations for corresponding street testbeds This book will be of interest to road construction companies and contractors, transport and traffic administrations and municipalities, lecturers, researchers, students, and anyone interested in transport infrastructure and future road designs.
Описание: "The rabbit hole gets wrestled here. An old school saying applies: the more you know, the more you don't know. Dance along this read into the unknown and find out that this book may be the best ever answer to 'What is soul?'" --Chuck D, rapper and co-founder of Public Enemy*Starred Reviews* from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly! Named a Best Book of 2021 by Library Journal, Kirkus, and symmetry MagazineIn this important guide to science and society, a cosmologist argues that physics must embrace the excluded, listen to the unheard, and be unafraid of being wrong. Years ago, cosmologist Stephon Alexander received life-changing advice: to discover real physics, he needed to stop memorizing and start taking risks. In Fear of a Black Universe, Alexander shows that great physics requires us to think outside the mainstream -- to improvise and rely on intuition. His approach leads him to three principles that shape all theories of the universe: the principle of invariance, the quantum principle, and the principle of emergence. Alexander uses them to explore some of physics' greatest mysteries, from what happened before the big bang to how the universe makes consciousness possible. Drawing on his experience as a Black physicist, he makes a powerful case for diversifying our scientific communities. Compelling and empowering, Fear of a Black Universe offers remarkable insight into the art of physics.
Описание: This book goes beyond the cultural histories of dystopia and utopia and into the problem of how societal futures are produced. Through a unique collection of national and transnational cases, it covers the struggle around future visions and prediction in the global Cold War era.
Racism is a conviction that a particular race of humans possesses different behavioral qualities comparing to their appearance physically and can be partitioned based on the prevalence of one race over another. It may also mean segregation, prejudice, or hostility coordinated against others since they are of another ethnicity or race.
Modern variations of discrimination are frequently situated in the social view of biological differences between people groups. These perspectives can appear as social activities, political frameworks or practices or convictions in which various races are positioned as naturally better or second rate than one another, given assumed shared qualities, capacities, or inheritable attributes.
The U.N. Convention further infers that prevalence dependent on racial separation is deductively bogus, ethically condemnable, socially treacherous, and dangerous. The Convention likewise announced that there is no legitimization for racial segregation, anyplace, in principle or practice.
Racism is the point at which somebody is dealt with differently due to their race or culture.
This book will give you an idea about roots of racism and how to prevent racial inequality.
Our system of privilege can be changed and reading this book will help to find inspiration to enlighten you on the ways to be antiracist.

Описание:
Autonomous Vehicles and Future Mobility presents novel methods for examining the long term effects on individuals, society, and on the environment on a wide range of forthcoming transport scenarios such self-driving vehicles, workplace mobility plans, demand responsive transport analysis, mobility as a service, multi-source transport data provision, and door-to-door mobility.
With the development and realization of new mobility options comes change in long term travel behavior and transport policy. Autonomous Vehicles and Future Mobility addresses these impacts, considering such key areas as attitude of users towards new services, the consequences of introducing of new mobility forms, the impacts of changing work related trips, the access to information about mobility options and the changing strategies of relevant stakeholders in transportation. By examining and contextualizing innovative transport solutions in this rapidly evolving field, Autonomous Vehicles and Future Mobility provides insights into current implementation of these potentially sustainable solutions, serving as general guidelines and best practices for researchers, professionals, and policy makers.
Covers hot topics including travel behavior change, autonomous vehicle impacts, intelligent solutions, mobility planning, mobility as a service, sustainable solutions, and more

Описание:
The first book of its kind in English, Beyond No Future: Cultures of German Punk explores the texts and contexts of German punk cultures. Notwithstanding its "no future" sloganeering, punk has had a rich and complex life in German art and letters, in German urban landscapes, and in German youth culture. Beyond No Future collects innovative, methodologically diverse scholarly contributions on the life and legacy of these cultures. Focusing on punk politics and aesthetics in order to ask broader questions about German nationhood(s) in a period of rapid transition, this text offers a unique view of the decade bookended by the "German Autumn+? and German unification.
Consulting sources both published and unpublished, aesthetic and archival, Beyond No Future's contributors examine German punk's representational strategies, anti-historical consciousness, and refusal of programmatic intervention into contemporary political debates. Taken together, these essays demonstrate the importance of punk culture to historical, political, economic, and cultural developments taking place both in Germany and on a broader transnational scale.
