Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of an illustrious Romanian-born, Hungarian-speaking, Vienna-schooled, Columbia-educated and Harvard-formed, middle-class Jewish professor of politics and other subjects. Markovits revels in a rootlessness that offers him comfort, succor, and the inspiration for his life’s work. As we follow his quest to find a home, we encounter his engagement with the important political, social, and cultural developments of five decades on two continents. We also learn about his musical preferences, from classical to rock; his love of team sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball, and American football; and his devotion to dogs and their rescue. Above all, the book analyzes the travails of emigration the author experienced twice, moving from Romania to Vienna and then from Vienna to New York. Markovits’s Candide-like travels through the ups and downs of post-1945 Europe and America offer a panoramic view of key currents that shaped the second half of the twentieth century. By shedding light on the cultural similarities and differences between both continents, the book shows why America fascinated Europeans like Markovits and offered them a home that Europe never did: academic excellence, intellectual openness, cultural diversity and religious tolerance. America for Markovits was indeed the “beacon on the hill,” despite the ugliness of its racism, the prominence of its everyday bigotry, the severity of its growing economic inequality, and the presence of other aspects that mar this worthy experiment’s daily existence.

I want people to know there are things they can do right now to improve how they live, from placing the furniture in a way that is conducive to good conversation, to choosing the best paint colors, to finding art and accessories that make a house feel more like a home. These are all things that don’t have to cost a lot of money but can drastically change a space. There are so many easy, achievable, economical ways to make your home look great, and in this book I’m excited to share all I know about that with my readers.”

As we stride further into a future marked by smart homes and interconnected devices, the role of air conditioning systems is evolving dramatically. No longer mere appliances, these systems are becoming intelligent entities that can learn, adapt, and optimize to provide unparalleled comfort while minimizing energy consumption. Smart Air Conditioning Systems: The Future of Home Comfort is a comprehensive guide that delves into the cutting-edge technologies and innovations that are reshaping how we experience indoor environments. This book aims to provide a thorough understanding of the principles, designs, and functionalities of modern smart air conditioning systems, offering insights for both industry professionals and enthusiastic homeowners. We begin with an exploration of the historical evolution of air conditioning, tracing its journey from rudimentary cooling mechanisms to today's sophisticated, AI-powered systems. This context sets the stage for a deeper examination of the technologies that form the backbone of smart air conditioning, including sensors, IoT integration, machine learning algorithms, and advanced control systems. Throughout the chapters, we emphasize the importance of energy efficiency and sustainability. In a world grappling with climate change and depleting natural resources, smart air conditioning systems hold the promise of significantly reducing energy consumption. By intelligently managing cooling cycles, predicting user preferences, and integrating with renewable energy sources, these systems are at the forefront of the green building movement. Practical applications and case studies form a crucial part of this book. We showcase real-world examples of smart air conditioning systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, illustrating how these technologies are being implemented to enhance comfort, reduce costs, and promote environmental responsibility. Readers will gain insights into the challenges and successes encountered in various projects, providing a well-rounded perspective on the current state and future potential of smart air conditioning. This book also looks ahead to the future, exploring emerging trends and potential innovations. From the integration of air conditioning with smart grids to the development of more advanced AI-driven diagnostics and maintenance systems, we speculate on the exciting advancements that lie on the horizon. In writing Smart Air Conditioning Systems: The Future of Home Comfort, our goal has been to create a resource that is both informative and inspiring. Whether you are an engineer, a researcher, a student, or simply a homeowner interested in the future of home comfort, we hope this book provides valuable knowledge and sparks your imagination. The journey to smarter, more efficient, and more comfortable homes is well underway. Join us as we explore the future of air conditioning and its profound impact on our lives and our planet.
