The provision of a safe and reliable water supply is a major
challenge for the world's growing urban populations. This book
investigates the implications of different developments in water
technology and infrastructure for urban sustainability and the
relationship between cities and nature. The book begins by
outlining five frameworks for analysing water technologies and
systems - sustainable development, ecological modernisation,
socio-technical systems, political ecology and radical ecology. It
then analyses in detail what the sustainability implications are of
different technical developments in water systems, specifically:
demand management, sanitation, urban drainage, water reuse and
desalination. The main purpose of the book is to draw out the
social, political and ethical implications of technical changes
that are occurring in urban water systems around the world, with
positive and negative impacts on sustainability. Distinguished from
existing social science analysis due to its attention to the
engineering details of the technology, this book will be of use to
a wide audience, including students on water management courses,
engineering students and researchers, urban geographers and
planners interested in sustainability, infrastructure and critical
ecology.

Create visual and geospatial stories that blend map science and map
design. To make aesthetically pleasing, informative maps, mapmakers
and graphic designers have historically used time-consuming tasks
and workflows as part of the job. But what if you could get to the
aesthetic design of your mapping projects much sooner with access
to accurate, detailed map layers and powerful mapping tools that
could enhance your story? Enter ArcGIS (R) Maps for Adobe (R)
Creative Cloud (R), the mapping extension that connects Adobe (R)
Illustrator (R) to the power of ArcGIS, Esri's geospatial software.
Mapping by Design: A Guide to ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud
is the guidebook for making effective maps using Maps for Adobe
Creative Cloud. Learn how to create compelling visual stories with
maps following comprehensive tutorials designed to navigate readers
through common mapmaking workflows. Key topics include: Learning
the user interface components of Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud
Creating maps following common workflows Performing custom
geo-analyses Using automated custom symbology and map elements
Integrating Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud into your ArcGIS Pro
cartographic workflows By connecting Illustrator to ArcGIS Online,
this extension gives designers the power to create maps by
providing easy access to authoritative digital maps and map layers.
In Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud, this seamless connection means
that you can add these digital map layers, perform many map
enhancements and geo-analytical functions, and then download your
maps as well-organized, ready-to-design files in Illustrator.
Further, Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud allows ArcGIS Pro users to
open their maps and layouts in Illustrator and continue adding and
analyzing map data and layers. Whether you are a creative seeking
to make beautiful maps with a familiar graphic design application
or a GIS Professional who wants to learn the ArcGIS
Pro-to-Illustrator integration workflow, Mapping by Design serves
as a practical guide for all mapmakers.
Sustainable development is one of the key challenges of the
twenty-first century. The engineering profession is central to
achieving sustainable development. To date, engineering
contributions to sustainability have focused on reducing the
environmental impacts of development and improving the efficiency
of resource use. This approach is consistent with dominant policy
responses to environmental problems, which have been characterised
as ecological modernisation. Ecological modernisation assumes that
sustainability can be addressed by reforming modern society and
developing environmental technologies. Environmental philosophers
have questioned these assumptions and call into question the very
nature of modern society as underlying the destruction of nature
and the persistence of social inequality. Central to the crises of
ecology and human development are patterns of domination and the
separation of nature and culture. Engineering has a clear role to
play in ecological modernisation, but its role in more radical
visions of sustainability is uncertain. Actor-network theory
provides an analysis of socio-technical systems which does not
require the separation of nature and culture, and it provides a way
of thinking about how engineers are involved in shaping society and
its relationship to the environment. It describes the world in
terms of relationships between human and non-human actors. It shows
that social relationships are mediated by technologies and
non-human nature, and that assumptions about society and behaviour
are ""baked-in"" to technological systems. Modern infrastructure
systems are particularly important in shaping society and have
significant environmental impacts. Modern infrastructure has
allowed the consumption of resources far beyond basic human needs
in developed countries. Failure to deliver infrastructure services
has resulted in billions of the world's poorest people missing out
on the benefits of modern development. Engineers have an important
role to play in developing new infrastructure systems which
acknowledge the relationships between technology and society in
shaping demand for resources and environmental impacts, as well as
alleviating poverty. Engineers have an important role in mediating
between the values of society, clients, the environment and the
possibilities of technology. Constructive Technology Assessment and
Value Sensitive Design are two methodologies which engineers are
using to better account for the social and ethical implications of
their work. Understanding engineering as a hybrid, socio-technical
profession can help develop new ways of working that acknowledge
the importance of technology and infrastructure in shaping social
relationships that are central to achieving sustainability. Table

Now in its seventh edition, Wheater's Functional Histology is
designed to give students a working knowledge of histology,
including the basic histological structures, tissue types and organ
systems. You will learn to recognise the microscopic structure of
normal human tissues and understand how this relates to function.
The book shows you how to apply histology in a clinical context
through coverage of common clinical conditions in each chapter.

London is one of the world's leading cities. It is home to an
extraordinary concentration and diversity of people, industries,
politics, religions, and ideas, and plays an important role in our
highly globalised, tightly networked, modern world. What does the
future hold for London? Investigating any aspect of the city's
future reveals a complex picture of interrelations and
dependencies. The London 2062 Programme from University College
London brings a new, cross-disciplinary and highly collaborative,
approach to investigating this complexity. The programme crosses
departmental boundaries within the university, and promotes active
collaboration between leading academics and those who shape London
through policy and practice. This book approaches the question of
London's future by considering the city in terms of Connections,
Things, Power and Dreams.
