The New American Small Town - Jennifer Mapes

What makes a sustainable city? When planners and politicians talk about making cities more sustainable, they often describe changes to large urban centers like New York City or Los Angeles. Yet when they suggest solutions for sustainable living, they talk about walkable neighborhoods, traditional architecture, and diverse land uses; they talk about small towns. Planners and developers are now working to introduce a “small-town feel” into our large cities and suburbs in hopes that it will provide a sense of community and reduce the use of automobiles. So, what of small towns themselves? We donÂ’t talk about these places as much. They are often assumed to be utopias of the past or crumbling ghost towns of the present day rather than places with potential for sustainable living. This book critically examines narratives of American small towns, contrasting them with lived experiences in these places, and considers both the myth and reality in the context of current urban challenges. Interweaving stories from and about U.S. small towns, it offers lessons in sustainable urbanism that can be applied both in the towns themselves and to the larger cities and suburbs where most Americans now live.

For the first time, The Child Code brings genetics out of the lab and onto the parent''s lap, offering a smarter and much more effective way of parenting.Danielle Dick - a chaired professor of psychology and human and molecular genetics - makes the case with evidence that''s clear and compelling: under normal conditions, the biggest factor influencing your child''s outcome is, quite simply, the child - his or her unique genetic signature present at birth. Genetic predispositions shape temperament, the propensity toward impulsivity, self-regulation, sociability, fear, anxiety, addiction, and happiness. This book will give you the tools to understand your child from day 1- to crack the ''code'' on what makes your child tick-and to tailor your parenting approach accordingly. By understanding the degree to which your child''s behaviour is written into their genetic code, and the environment in which it''s expressed, you will learn what will and what won''t work in helping your child become their best selves, with a lot less stress all around: you can''t change your child but you can be a better parent.
