Sinossi
Pulsando di saggezza e umanità, How Infrastructure Works .È un capolavoro' Ed Yong'Non vedrai più il mondo nello stesso modo dopo aver letto questo libro. ' Austin KleonOgni giorno, ci viene concesso il potere di viaggiare ad alta velocità, volare, vedere al buio, evocare acqua da montagne lontane ed elettricità dal sole. I sistemi che gestiscono il nostro mondo sono invisibili a noi finché non falliscono. Le infrastrutture consentono vite di una facilità e libertà sbalorditive che sarebbero state inimmaginabili solo un secolo fa. Questi sistemi tecnologici, i più complessi e vasti mai creati dagli esseri umani, ci hanno permesso di lavorare collettivamente per il bene pubblico. Ma questi sistemi stanno iniziando a deluderci. La professoressa di ingegneria Deb Chachra accompagna i lettori in un affascinante tour di queste utenze essenziali, rivelando come funzionano, cosa serve per mantenerle in funzione e quanto plasmano le nostre vite, ma anche il che ne ricavano, chi lo paga e in quali modi, nonché le minacce alla nostra infrastruttura in un mondo in continua evoluzione. Da Electric Mountain di Snowdonia a un impianto solare nell'India meridionale, Chachra mostra come possiamo ricostruire la nostra infrastruttura condivisa affinché sia non solo funzionale, ma anche equa, resiliente e sostenibile. Dobbiamo imparare a vedere questi sistemi e a trasformarli, insieme, perché il costo di non poter contare su di essi .È impensabilmente alto.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'Pulsing with wisdom and humanity, How Infrastructure Works is a masterpiece' Ed Yong 'You won't see the world the same after reading this book!' Austin Kleon Every day, we are granted the power to travel at high speeds, fly, see in the dark, summon water from distant mountains and electricity from the sun. The systems that run our world are invisible to us until they fail. Infrastructure enables lives of astounding ease and freedom that would have been unimaginable just a century ago. These technological systems - the most complex and vast ever created by humans - have allowed us to work collectively for the public good. But these systems are now beginning to fail us. Engineering professor Deb Chachra takes readers on a fascinating tour of these essential utilities, revealing how they work, what it takes to keep them running, and just how much they shape our lives - but also the price they extract, who pays it and in what ways, as well as the threats to our infrastructure in a changing world. From Snowdonia's Electric Mountain to a solar plant in southern India, Chachra shows how we can rebuild our shared infrastructure to be not just functional but also equitable, resilient, and sustainable. We need to learn how to see these systems and to transform them, together, because the cost of not being able to rely on them is unthinkably high. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR013337150
