Each year, BES chooses a Book of the Year. This allows our community to share in exploring an important work on urban ecology and urban processes in general.
For 2013, we have chosen Austin Troy's book, The Very Hungry City: Urban Energy Efficiency and the Economic Fate of Cities. This is an important book examines the energy flows -- metabolism in a popular word -- associated with contemporary cities and suburbs in the United States and elsewhere. How energy is used in tempering building interiors and in transportation provides the framework for examining both environmental and economic effects.
The book was published by Yale University Press. Find more information at http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=9780300162318
Austin will deliver the Keynote Address on the topic of his book at the BES Annual Meeting at Cylburn Arboretum on Wednesday 22 October 2013. His talks on the topic have garnered high praise.
Read the book, discuss it with your colleagues in BES, and attend the stimulating lecture in October.

Hallo, ich wollte ein bisschen Unterhaltung am Abend und neue Slots ausprobieren, weil ich gern mein Glück versuche und verschiedene Spielautomaten teste. Dabei stieß ich auf goldzino casino, das auch für Spieler aus Österreich spannend ist. Ich startete mit Gonzo’s Quest und verlor zuerst mehrere Spins hintereinander. Dann kam eine Bonus‑Multiplikator‑Runde mit einem starken Gewinn. Seitdem schaue ich dort regelmäßig vorbei.
The emergency plumber handed me a massive quote for the broken pipes. I sat at my desktop and read a forum post praising a site for its fair UK promotions. My early rounds on classic slots just drained my funds. I navigated the new vegashero crash games and placed a heavy stake. A lucky decision to hold my nerve gave me a brilliant multiplier. Excellent service today
