Download or read book One Planet Cities written by David Thorpe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the crucial question of how the essential needs of the growing human population can be met without breaking the Earth's already-stretched life-support system. With four out of five people predicted to be urban dwellers by 2080, ‘One Planet’ Cities proposes a pathway to genuine sustainability for cities and neighbourhoods, using an approach based on contraction and convergence. Utilising interviews with key players, including the Global Footprint Network, World Future Council, WWF, mayors and government officials, and case studies from across the globe, including Europe, North and South America, Australia, South Africa, China and India, David Thorpe examines all aspects of modern society from food provision to neighbourhood design, via industry, the circular economy, energy and transport through the critical lens of the ecological footprint and relevant supporting international standards and indicators. Recommendations on managing supply chains and impacts, how the transition to a world within limits might be financed, and a deep examination of the Welsh Government's pioneering efforts follow. It concludes with an imagined vision of what a genuinely sustainable future might be like, and an appeal for 'one planeteers' everywhere to step up to the challenge. This book will be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers involved in governance, administration, urban environments and sustainability, alongside students of the built environment, urban planning, environmental policy and energy.

Download or read book Harmonies of the World written by Johannes Kepler and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Kepler published Harmonies of the World in 1619. This was the summation of his theories about celestial correspondences, and ties together the ratios of the planetary orbits, musical theory, and the Platonic solids. Kepler's speculations are long discredited. However, this work stands as a bridge between the Hermetic philosophy of the Renaissance, which sought systems of symbolic correspondences in the fabric of nature, and modern science. And today, we finally have heard the music of the spheres: data from outer system probes have been translated into acoustic form, and we can listen to strange clicks and moans from Jupiter's magnetosphere.

Download or read book The Human Rights written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People believe that governments and systems of justice give them the human rights, through specific rules, laws, and regulations, but this is never the case. Because your human rights are yours continuously as they are innate, since you are a living human being by nature. Authorities may give you privileges, yet rights and privileges are separate concepts. In fact, authorities take away your human rights, and many times, they do so with your full agreement, in a trivial manner. Since surprisingly, you cannot have authorities and human rights simultaneously. Should authorities not take away your human rights, mostly when you break the law? No, since human rights are innate, as this is your human nature. Even more, human rights are of the third intelligent human level, while laws, beliefs, privileges, corporations, and jurisdictions are of the first fictitious level, remaining incompatible. While authorities write these laws themselves, to infringe the human rights. Everybody knows it, and everybody makes it possible, losing the human rights, while also losing themselves and their loved ones. So you always wave your human rights, and fall into their jurisdiction, where they own you entirely, and they do to you as they please. And it always happens, with humans, souls, and everyone else. But why exactly do people go against people continuously, losing themselves and the entire world? It always depends on the interaction between people, because sometimes this is harmonious, and sometimes harmful. It is always preferred to have harmony in this world, yet when you want to have more than others do, you cannot have it in a harmonious, egalitarian manner, but only by force, called robbery. And when you persist to desire more than others, you have to change the entire world on your behalf, as tyrants do. Yet this is not the human world anymore, as it is not the human meaning, but only a fictitious enterprise, where humans become merchandise themselves, while fighting and exploiting themselves, in a disconnected manner. Because many times, people create entire wars to take what others have, in an organized crime, while other times, people use fictitious schemes and trickery to determine others to hand them everything including themselves, which is the same organized crime. And again, this is not at all the human meaning, yet it is always possible, through agreements, through their agreement to give you everything, while even calling you their great king, wonderful master, good lord, helpful patron, or wonderful chief, as you are always their tyrant, serving you for life. While you are not a human being anymore, and neither are they. With the human rights always present, to assure the continuous human freedom, meaning, and fulfillment in life and in this world, and with an entire world fictitious, under oath, and serving vehemently a multitude of tyrants taking everything for themselves, so what exactly is going on? This book helps you maintain control throughout life while protecting yourself, helping you understand your status, rights, privileges, and place in life and in this world, further helping you become more aware and more responsible. Otherwise, you end up with your entire human condition altered, and therefore with all human rights infringed.

Download or read book Yuhudi Brown written by ,Buck and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yuhudi Brown, a sommelier waiter with a second part-time job as an Uber driver; Sarah, an undocumented immigrant financier; and Jennifer, a deep-sea scuba diver scientist, join together to expose a sinister conspiracy of twenty-first-century carpetbaggers. The social order of the entire world was being challenged and rapidly declining. The conspirators sought to achieve world domination to more easily monitor and control movements of individuals by reducing the bulk of the world’s population through environmental disasters by controlling the weather. Yuhudi and Jennifer saw the best in each other and overlooked the worse. They loved each others’ souls inside and out, and that made them happy. But something different happened when Sarah became a part of this trio. Together, they would touch the sky —turning themselves into something few saw coming. America's nightmare and Russia's dream. Yuhudi Brown discerns the signs of the times. A generation demands a sign and after Yuhudi's disclosure, we are WOKE. The Earth was destroyed by water the first time around (Noah and the Great Flood). It will be the Fire next time unless we do something SOON about man made global warming climate change. Big Sky - Save Our Planet. YUHUDI BROWN, "DECLASSIFIED".
Download or read book Dungeons Dragons Spelljammer Memory s Wake written by Django Wexler and published by Random House Worlds. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set sail for the stars in this official Dungeons & Dragons novel set in the worlds of Spelljammer: Adventures in Space! In the colossal void of Shatterspace, besieged by bloodthirsty marauders and brimming with monstrous aberrations, the only constant is power: The deft will escape the slow. The clever will outwit the naïve. The strong will take from the weak. Axia wishes she could be grateful to have spent her life—or what little she remembers of it—on an asteroid so far from anything of interest that even the greediest spacers see fit to pass it by. Her days may not be as exciting as the swashbuckling stories of her favorite books or as dramatic as the pasts she’s imagined for herself, but they’re as safe as Shatterspace can manage. So why does something inside her long for the stars every time she sees a spacefaring spelljammer vessel? When Axia survives a sudden assassination attempt, she is cornered by Kori and Nia, a pair of pirates who offer her two options: flee with them to Wildspace, where they can keep her hidden among their crew, or die. It’s an easy choice with death at her doorstep. But even in the vastness of the Astral Sea, Axia quickly realizes that her new friends haven’t been entirely honest about their motivations. It turns out, Axia is the spitting image of Blacktongue, the long-disappeared captain of one of the deadliest pirate crews in Shatterspace. And Kori and Nia have a plan to claim the mysterious treasure that the pirate queen vanished while pursuing. To survive, Axia will have to fill Blacktongue’s bloodstained boots and embark on a more perilous and thrilling adventure than any she’s dared to dream.
Download or read book Buffer Zone written by Connie Suttle and published by SubtleDemon Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A full moon hung over the Mississippi's dark waters, meaning this was the time for hunters to arrive and take whatever they could capture. A device would be clamped to the backs of our necks and we'd never be able to shift back to human again. It was how they justified their enslavement of us; that we were only animals instead of sentient humans. The Krelk had killed more than two-thirds of the human population, too, but they made the excuse that they'd thought them animal as well, until their High Council, wherever that was, decided otherwise. When I heard the first yelp, even underground, I couldn't breathe. Was that a shifter? Few shifters could take on a Krelk and their weapons and either survive or avoid being stunned. That's how we were captured—frozen and only barely able to breathe while we were caged, tagged and hauled away from the buffer zone. Another yelp—followed quickly by a third. This was no shifter—the Krelk were the ones screaming. Terrified but still curious, I dipped into the watery entrance and slowly made my way out of my cave to peek at the river bank above my head. A dead Krelk dropped into the water nearby, making me jump and squeak in terror. "An otter?" Someone leaned down to look at me. Not a Krelk—I knew their scent. This—I'd never scented someone like this before. I scrabbled backward, afraid of this newcomer, too, even if he did appear humanoid. "Don't be afraid—I killed all of them." I backed all the way into the water and scrambled to swim to my cave before he could grab me. Once there, I refused to come out. "I understand," he said, loud enough that I could still hear him. "Be safe. I'll patrol farther down, tonight." I listened, my heart beating so rapidly I feared it would burst while his footsteps, light as they were, faded as he walked southward. He'd killed six Krelk, and I'd never heard one of their weapons fire. Who could do that?
