Energy Cities
With cities and regions moving away from fossil-nuclear energy sources, the importance of energy-ecological urban transformation is growing. A growing number of stakeholders are committed to transitioning energy supplies to renewable sources and promoting resource-efficient ecological cycles in their communities. Energy-ecological urban transformation directly improves living and environmental conditions in neighborhoods, creates new economic opportunities, and generates jobs. Cities are being transformed into 'energy cities' that adhere to the principles of sustainability, minimizing energy-ecological footprints, and reducing land consumption. This book envisions future scenarios of urban transformation for stakeholder discourse. It provides a cross-disciplinary description of urban planning, engineering, and economic approaches to energy-ecological urban transformation, including methodological solutions. Numerous interesting project examples are presented to illustrate these concepts. The target audience for this book includes municipal administrations and climate protection managers, planning and engineering firms, environmental organizations, as well as students and educators.

Rocks and Riches
Take a road trip through deep time and California history, with a friendly expert geologist at the wheel.From its epic earthquakes to its famed epithet "the Golden State," California as we know it would not exist without geology. Gary L. Prost, an expert geologist born and raised in California, embarked on a quest to better understand the state's rocky history. His road trips have culminated in Rocks and Riches, an accessible and entertaining look at the land that has shaped the lives of all Californians. With humor and abiding curiosity, Prost examines the workings of deep time, the fascinating and troubled legacies of the Gold Rush, and the ways geology continues to influence life in California today. Visiting 56 stops of geologic interest, he traverses the Marin and Sonoma coasts, the Central Valley, the Sierra Foothills, Yosemite, and the Basin and Range country, ending with an extended journey through Death Valley to meditate on the awe-inspiring intensity of California's deserts. Including dozens of illustrations and road maps, as well as guidance for fellow travelers, Rocks and Riches is both a practical handbook and an invitation to see California's landscapes with wonder.
