Book of the Day: "The Sage Book of Environmental Change" Edited by: John A Matthews - Swansea University, UK

The SAGE Handbook of Environmental Change is an extensive survey of the interdisciplinary science of environmental change, including recent debates on climate change and the full range of other natural and anthropogenic changes affecting the Earth-ocean-atmosphere system in the past, present and future. It examines the historic importance, present status and future prospects of the field over two volumes. With more than 40 chapters, the books situate the defining characteristics and key paradigms within a state-of-the-art review of the field, including its changing nature and diversity of approaches, evidence base, key theoretical arguments, resonances with other disciplines and relationships between theory, research and practice. Opening with a detailed, contextualizing essay by the editors, the work is arranged into six parts:

Part One: Approaches to Understanding Environmental Change

Part Two: Evidence of Environmental Change and the Geo-ecological Response

Part Three: Causes, Mechanisms and Dynamics of Environmental Change

Part Four: Key Issues of Human-induced Environmental Changes and Their Impacts

Part Five: Patterns, Processes and Impacts of Environmental Change at the Regional Scale

Part Six: Responses of People to Environmental Change and Implications for Society

"Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di biciclette, 1948) is unarguably one of the most important films in the history of cinema. It is also one of the most beguiling, moving and (apparently) simple pieces of narrative ever made. The film tells the story of one man and his son, as they search fruitlessly through the streets of Rome for his stolen bicycle; the bicycle which had offered the possibility of escape from the poverty and humiliation of long-term unemployment. One of a cluster of extraordinary films to come out of post-war, post-Fascist Italy - loosely labelled 'neorealist' – Bicycle Thieves won an Oscar in 1949, topped the first Sight and Sound poll of the best films of all time in 1952 and has been

Book of the Day "Hit Refresh" by Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft

"Hit Refresh i s about individual change, about the transformation happening inside of Microsoft and the technology that will soon impact all of our lives—the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced: artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing.
