How infrastructure works : inside the systems that shape our world / by Chachra, Deb,author.(CARDINAL)870164;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Behind the lights -- Infrastructure as agency -- Living in the networks -- Cooperation on a global scale -- The social context of infrastructure -- The political context of infrastructure -- How infrastructure fails -- Infrastructure and climate instability -- An emerging future of infrastructure -- Rethinking the ultrastructure -- Infrastructural citizenship."A new way of seeing the essential systems hidden inside our walls, under our streets, and all around us Infrastructure is a marvel, meeting our basic needs and enabling lives of astounding ease and productivity that would have been unimaginable just a century ago. It is the physical manifestation of our social contract--of our ability to work collectively for the public good--and it consists of the most complex and vast technological systems ever created by humans. A soaring bridge is an obvious infrastructural feat, but so are the mostly hidden reservoirs, transformers, sewers, cables, and pipes that deliver water, energy, and information to wherever we need it. When these systems work well, they hide in plain sight. Engineer and materials scientist Deb Chachra takes readers on a fascinating tour of these essential utilities, revealing how they work, what it takes to keep them running, just how much we rely on them--but also whom they work well for, and who pays the costs. Across the U.S. and elsewhere, these systems are suffering from systemic neglect and the effects of climate change, becoming unavoidably visible when they break down. Communities that are already marginalized often bear the brunt of these failures. But Chachra maps out a path for transforming and rebuilding our shared infrastructure to be not just functional but also equitable, resilient, and sustainable. The cost of not being able to rely on these systems is unthinkably high. We need to learn how to see them--and fix them, together--before it's too late"--

Engineering the Eternal City : infrastructure, topography, and the culture of knowledge in late sixteenth-century Rome / by Long, Pamela O.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-350) and index.Introduction: Rome: portrait of the late sixteenth-century city -- Troubled waters: the Tiber River -- The streets and sewers of Rome -- Repairing the Acqua Vergine: conflict and process -- Contested infrastructure -- Roman topography and images of the city -- Maps, guidebooks, and the world of print -- Reforming the streets -- Engineering spectacle and urban reality -- Conclusion: a city in transition."Between the catastrophic flood of the Tiber River in 1557 and the death of the "engineering pope" Sixtus V in 1590, the city of Rome was transformed by intense activity involving building construction and engineering projects of all kinds. Using hundreds of archival documents and primary sources, Engineering the Eternal City explores the processes and people involved in these infrastructure projects--sewers, bridge repair, flood prevention, aqueduct construction, the building of new, straight streets, and even the relocation of immensely heavy ancient Egyptian obelisks that Roman emperors had carried to the city centuries before. This portrait of an early modern Rome examines the many conflicts, failures, and successes that shaped the city, as decision-makers tried to control not only Rome's structures and infrastructures but also the people who lived there. Taking up visual images of the city created during the same period--most importantly in maps and urban representations, this book shows how in a time before the development of modern professionalism and modern bureaucracies, there was far more wide-ranging conversation among people of various backgrounds on issues of engineering and infrastructure than there is in our own times. Physicians, civic leaders, jurists, cardinals, popes, and clerics engaged with painters, sculptors, architects, printers, and other practitioners as they discussed, argued, and completed the projects that remade Rome."--Publisher's website.

How a city works / by Ward, D. J.(David John),1966-author.(CARDINAL)476084; Lemay, Violet,illustrator.(CARDINAL)602620;
Millions of people live in cities around the world, but have you ever wondered how cities work? All those people need clean water to drink, a safe place to live, and a way to get all around the city! How do you take care of all those people's needs? Your city has a plan for that. Read and find out all about the systems a city has to help keep everyone safe, healthy, and happy. This book on city systems will appeal to the young civil engineer. How A City Works is filled with fun, accurate art, and includes tons of information. For example, it answers the question: Where does all the electricity needed to make a city run come from? How A City Works covers water treatment, power, sewage, recycling, and transportation. How a City Works comes packed with visual aids like charts, sidebars, an infographic, and a funny, hands-on activity-how to clean up dirty sewage water, using puffed rice cereal, raisins, hot chocolate mix, and coffee filters.
