Il settore dei trasporti, in particolare quello su strada, è responsabile di un quarto delle emissioni di gas serra e i combustibili fossili che utilizza producono sostanze tossiche per l’uomo e per l’ambiente, oltre a essere soggetti a oscillazioni di prezzo per ragioni geopolitiche. La mobilità elettrica sta emergendo negli ultimi anni per dare una risposta efficace a questi e altri problemi, nella prospettiva di un pianeta sempre più decarbonizzato secondo gli obiettivi già stabiliti dai governi e dai trattati internazionali.

In the early hours of 15 April 1912, after the majestic liner Titanic had split apart and the 1,500 men, women and children struggled to stay alive in the freezing Atlantic, the sea was alive with the sound of screaming. Then, as the ship sank to the ocean floor and the passengers slowly died from hypothermia, a deathly silence settled over the sea. Yet the echoes of that night reverberated through the lives of each of the 705 survivors. Shadow of the Titanic tells the extraordinary stories of some of those who survived.

Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? In Inclusive Transportation, expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering.

This book is the product of The Earhart Project, a thirty-four-year investigation of the Earhart tragedy by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery. TIGHAR investigators had no agenda. They were not out to advocate, excuse, honor, or impugn. They saw the Earhart disappearance as an aviation accident and reasoned the answer to its cause and outcome should be discoverable if they could find, assemble, and analyze the relevant data.

Amelia Earhart (Atchinson, 1898-Pacífico Sur, 1937). Cuando volar un avión era un acto más que temerario, Amelia Earhart fue la primera mujer que cruzó el Atlántico y el Pacífico en solitario.

The Four Points of the Compass takes the listener on a journey of directional discovery. Jerry Brotton reveals why Hebrew culture privileges east; why Renaissance Europeans began drawing north at the top of their maps; why the early Islam revered the south; why the Aztecs used five colour-coded cardinal directions; and why no societies, primitive or modern, have ever oriented themselves westwards. He ends by reflecting on our digital age in which we, the little blue dot on the screen, have become the most important compass point.
