"Beyond Cars" confronts Windhoek's dependence on automobiles. It argues for a more balanced transportation system that prioritizes options beyond just cars. The book explores the limitations of a car-centric approach, highlighting issues like traffic congestion, pollution, and social inequality. It proposes solutions, advocating for investment in public transport, cycling infrastructure, and pedestrian walkways. "Beyond Cars" envisions a Windhoek where getting around is efficient, sustainable, and accessible to all.

Dr. Sachin, for your Environmental Studies course, I propose "Forests Fall, Waters Change: Canada's Water Crisis." This book tackles Canada's unfolding water crisis, highlighting the critical link between deforestation and water resources. We'll explore how the decline of Canada's forests disrupts water systems, impacting filtration, flow patterns, and overall water security. "Forests Fall, Waters Change" dives into the causes of the crisis, analyzing climate change, pollution, and unsustainable water management practices. We'll see how deforestation exacerbates these issues. But this book isn't all doom and gloom. It explores solutions by emphasizing forest protection and restoration as a key step towards water security. We'll analyze successful water management strategies, acknowledge Indigenous water rights, and examine policy changes needed for a sustainable water future. "Forests Fall, Waters Change" serves as a call to action, urging us to understand the interconnectedness of forests and water and advocate for responsible practices that ensure a secure water future for Canada.
