Infostructure
INFOSTRUCTURE presents the vision of interactive and responsive urban public transport environments where new forms of communication and information access are enabled through an overlay of urban digital media technologies. Featuring research and projects undertaken by master students in architecture at the University of Technology, Sydney and Bachelor students in design computing at the University of Sydney, the book explores the augmentation of existing public transport environments with urban digital media technologies, to set in motion a transformation from infrastructure to 'infostructure(s).' Precedent based research and technology investigations underpin the twenty featured student projects, that address a nexus of space, urban media, sensor, and mobile phone technology. The research presented in this book is a foundation for a series of future infostructure projects.

It examines these case examples and critiques design prototypes by threading the overarching principles of the s...
Reimagining Equality
"Developmental equality–whether every child has an equal opportunity to reach their fullest potential–is essential for children’s future growth and access to opportunity. In the United States, however, children of color are disproportionately affected by poverty, poor educational outcomes, and structural discrimination, limiting their potential. In Reimagining Equality, Nancy E. Dowd sets out to examine the roots of these inequalities by tracing the life course of black boys from birth to age 18 in an effort to create an affirmative system of rights and support for all children." -- Publisher's description

Mountain Secrets
She already died once. This time, she's determined to live. Willa Monroe is happy in Rosemary Mountain, a safe landing place where nobody seems to look too closely at her. She's content with a quiet life alone, until she meets the gorgeous, broody Cole and starts to hope for more. Cole Hawkins is running from his past, trying to figure out who he is after leaving behind a life of military service. But the past collides with his future the moment he sees Willa, the woman he failed to save. She doesn't remember him, but he could never forget her haunted eyes-or her husband's rage the night she supposedly died. It's a second chance for them both, but only if Willa's secret stays safe. If anyone else discovers who she is, the past will come for them both, and even Cole's special forces training may not be enough to save them.
