Urban planning is a craft learned through practice. Planners make rapid decisions that have an immediate impact on the ground - the width of streets, the minimum size of land parcels, the heights of buildings. The language they use to describe their objectives is qualitative - “sustainable,” “livable,” “resilient” - often with no link to measurable outcomes. Urban economics, on the other hand, is a quantitative science, based on theories, models, and empirical evidence largely developed in academic settings.

"Voi donne siete meglio di noi. Non pensiate che gli uomini non lo sappiano; lo sappiamo benissimo, e sono millenni che ci organizziamo per sottomettervi, spesso con il vostro aiuto. Ma quel tempo sta finendo. È finito. Comincia il tempo in cui le donne prenderanno il potere." Aldo Cazzullo racconta perché il nostro sarà il secolo del sorpasso della donna sull'uomo. I segni sono evidenti: a Berlino e a Londra governano due donne, una donna si affaccia per la prima volta sulla soglia della Casa Bianca.

For more than a century, the interplay between private, investor-owned electric utilities and government regulators has shaped the electric power industry in the United States.

No metropolis has been more loved or more hated. To its official boosters, "Los Angeles brings it all together". To detractors, LA is a sunlit mortuary where "you can rot without feeling it". To Mike Davis, the author of this fiercely elegant and wide-ranging work of social history, Los Angeles is both utopia and dystopia, a place where the last Joshua trees are being plowed under to make room for model communities in the desert, where the rich have hired their own police to fend off street gangs, as well as armed Beirut militias.

Throw off the shackles of formal schooling and embark upon a rich journey of self-directed, life-long learning After over 100 years of mandatory schooling in the U.S., literacy rates have dropped, families are fragmented, learning "disabilities" are skyrocketing, and children and youth are increasingly disaffected. Thirty years of teaching in the public school system led John Taylor Gatto to the sad conclusion that compulsory governmental schooling is to blame, accomplishing little but to teach young people to follow orders like cogs in an industrial machine.
