Letters from the USSR --IndexThis book brings together a lifetime of experiences told by a beloved member of the field of Slavic languages and literature - Irwin Weil. During the Soviet era, Irwin frequently visited and corresponded with outstanding Russian cultural figures, such as Vladimir Nabokov, Korney Chukovsky, and Dmitrii Shostakovich. His deep love of the Russian people and their culture has touched the lives of countless students, in particular at Northwestern University, where he has taught since 1966. It is these stories of an unassuming Jewish American from Cincinnati, Ohio who rubbed shoulders with some of the most prominent thinkers, writers, and musicians in the Soviet Union that are presented for the first time in this volume.Jews of Russia and Eastern Europe and Their LegacyRussian literatureLiterature and stateSoviet UnionElectronic books.Russian literature.Literature and state891.709Weil Irwin, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1054994Brown TonyGrave Ivan Platonovich1874-1960,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463842903321From the Cincinnati Reds to the Moscow Reds2488045UNINA04468nam 22006495 450 991086658500332120240621125228.03-031-56168-610.1007/978-3-031-56168-9(MiAaPQ)EBC31500299(Au-PeEL)EBL31500299(CKB)32322830600041(DE-He213)978-3-031-56168-9(EXLCZ)993232283060004120240621d2024 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLocal Climate Zone Application in Sustainable Urban Development Experience from East and Southeast Asian High-Density Cities /edited by Ran Wang, Meng Cai, Chao Ren, Yuan Shi1st ed. 2024.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2024.1 online resource (264 pages)3-031-56167-8 Chapter 1.

Conclusions and outlook.The study of local climate zones (LCZ) links urban morphology, land use and land cover types, human activity, and thermal properties, and provides a standard framework for studying urban climatic issues. In recent years, the LCZ scheme attracts more and more attention from climatologists, urban planners, environmental engineers, as well as architects due to its combination of urban climatic scientific research outputs and urban planning and morphology language. Urbanization and higher-density living, an ongoing and continued path of human development, brings various urban climatic and environmental problems. Urban development in a sustainable way is vital for high-density cities to build a comfortable living environment. This book is the first one presenting systematically the latest LCZ applications by taking Asian high-density cities as an example. Generally, four parts are introduced and discussed in this book. At first, a general background of urbanization and its impacts is introduced, and the basic knowledge of LCZ. The second part introduces the methodology and techniques of LCZ data development. In the third part, various applications of LCZ are demonstrated in practice, including application to urban heat island, land use and land cover analysis, wind environment, energy consumption, thermal comfort studies and so on. Lastly, this book concludes the progress, challenges, limitations, and future work of LCZ-related studies. The book will be of interest to all that are working on or interested in urban climate, sustainable urban development, and policy-making. .Urban policyEnvironmental engineeringCivil engineeringGeographySustainabilityUrban PolicyEnvironmental Civil EngineeringGeographySustainabilityUrban policy.Environmental engineering.Civil engineering.Geography.Sustainability.Urban Policy.Environmental Civil Engineering.Geography.Sustainability.307.76Wang Ran968451Cai Meng1743178Ren Chao1743179Shi Yuan1743180MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910866585003321Local Climate Zone Application in Sustainable Urban Development4170453UNINA
