Architecture must adapt to protect people from the threat of climate change. About half of the world’s population lives in contexts that are highly vulnerable to climate change as hazards continue to intensify, with global disasters projected to reach 560 events per year by 2030, or 1.5 events every day. The accelerating frequency and intensity of disasters underscores the urgency to prepare for severe events to protect people, communities, and essential systems but also to protect the environment which provides shelter, livelihoods, cultural heritage, and public functions. This book provides a comprehensive reference of climate adaptation design tactics and a toolkit for adaptation to shocks and stresses, outlining the process for architects and designers to:Understand the risks posed by climate change to the built environment.Reduce the risks to people and the built environment from natural hazards.Reduce human vulnerability to shocks and stresses by strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity.Design the built environment to adapt to changes over its lifetime.Design buildings and cities to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.Preserve biodiversity and support natural resources.Climate Adaptation for Architects presents 45 adaptation tactics responding to the most consequential effects of climate change: heat, water, wind, and resource scarcity. Each chapter includes images, a definition, background information, key design considerations, potential impacts, and resources for further information. This is a valuable resource for every architect, landscape architect, urban planner, developer, and policymaker.

Good content is everywhere.In our digital world we are content rich, but quality poor. Good content surrounds us, but it begs to be collected, transformed, and shared. And who better to distill and dismantle it for the benefit of learning communities than today’s learning and development professional?Curation isn’t novel in itself, and there’s much to learn from the successes of others. News sites commonly curate stories adding their own analysis. Retailers and marketers crowdsource ideas from consumers. Businesses build curation strategies to leverage product reviews.Ready, Set, Curate: 8 Learning Experts Tell You How shows you how to elevate the most important content from an endless sea of learning information and offers strategies to better connect with your audience. Using case studies and relevant examples, eight curation experts share tips and best practices for creating a curation strategy and collecting content that is relevant to your learning communities.It’s a brave new world. And we won’t have to write any of it—if we get digital curation right.

This book provides insights into the lived experiences of researchers as they negotiate the undulating terrain of the world of paradigms and seek to find their niche. Each chapter presents the journeys of postgraduate candidates, early career researchers and established scholars, starting with an overview of their paradigm, the application of the paradigm to their specific research context, and concluding with the authors reflecting on their identification with and use of the paradigm. The volume acknowledges that determining the paradigm that best aligns with a scholar’s personal ideologies and the underlying assumptions of the research can be rather daunting, challenging and perplexing to scholars who are starting their research journey. It offers an accessible exploration of research paradigms and will be a valuable resource for postgraduate researchers, emerging scholars and PhD supervisors.

She rebuilt her life from the ruins of his rejection. Now he's back — and the secret she's been keeping could destroy them both.Three years ago, Lena Calloway ran from the Ironmoor Pack with nothing but a rejection scar and a secret she would die to protect. She built something real in the city  a quiet life, a thriving gift, a daughter with amber eyes and her father's stubborn jaw. A daughter whose father doesn't know she exists.Caden Voss never wanted to break her. He rejected his fated mate to save her life, trading their bond for her safety under the brutal rule of a pack Alpha who would have used Lena as a weapon. It was the worst decision he ever made. He's been paying for it ever since.Now Caden is Alpha of a pack on the edge of collapse. A shadowy faction is using psychic warfare to drive his wolves to madness, and the only thing that can stop it is a fully bonded Alpha-Omega pair — the very bond he shattered. He needs Lena back. Not just for the pack. For all of it.But Lena has spent three years becoming someone who doesn't need saving. She returned to Ironmoor as a consultant, not a mate. She came to heal wolves, not old wounds. She absolutely did not come back to fall in love with a man who once chose her destruction and called it protection.The problem is the bond never died.It only waited.The Wolf's Secret Omega is a deeply emotional, slow-burn paranormal romance built on the most agonizing of all foundations — a love that survived being deliberately destroyed. Before Lena can trust again, Caden must prove that the man he's become is nothing like the man who broke her. And before he can earn her, he has to face the daughter he didn't know existed, a pack that's falling apart, and the terrifying possibility that asking — truly asking, and then waiting for the answer — might be the bravest thing an Alpha has ever done.Because the greatest threat to Ironmoor isn't the enemy at its borders.It's the wound at its center that two people have to choose, together, to heal.Perfect for readers who love:Deeply emotional rejected mate romances with real healing arcsSecret baby reveals that hit like a freight trainAlpha heroes who earn it rather than demand itOmega heroines who are nobody's rescue missionSteamy, slow-burn second chance paranormal romance with an unforgettable HEAThe bond was broken. The love never was. One choice tore them apart — only the truth can bring them home.If you love emotionally charged paranormal romance with werewolf shifters, fated mates, secret babies, and second chances that feel genuinely earned, you will not put this book down.
