New Esri Press Book by Jack Dangermond Explores Creating a Better Future through Modern GIS
Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, today announced the publication next month of The Power of Where: A Geographic Approach to the World's Greatest Challenges.
Written by Esri president Jack Dangermond with a dedicated Esri team and numerous contributors, this important new book explores the geographic approach—a way of solving problems using spatial analysis to perceive and understand patterns ranging from wildlife migration and rising seas to urban planning and food production.
According to Dangermond, sustainability begins with geography. "I believed this when we started Esri, and I'm even more convinced today," says Dangermond. "GIS [geographic information system technology] provides a platform for addressing problems, exploring alternatives, designing solutions, and sharing them in a visual way that inspires action."
The Power of Where shows through maps and stories how the growing GIS community is facing humanity's big challenges, including climate change, hunger, water scarcity, inequity, and biodiversity loss, as well as issues large and small in our everyday lives.
In concluding the book's preface, Dangermond continues, "My hope is that the stories, maps, and examples in these pages will inspire you to embrace and use this geospatial power as we work together to create a better tomorrow."
The Power of Where includes a foreword by National Book Award winner and author James Fallows as well as a companion website, powerofwhere.com, with more about the case studies, stories, and maps presented in the book. Available in paperback (ISBN: 9781589486065, $59.99) and as an ebook (ISBN: 9781589486072, $59.99), The Power of Where becomes available from most online retailers worldwide on August 6. Interested retailers can contact Esri Press book distributor Ingram Publisher Services.

Egle Therapeutics to share preclinical data for its first autoimmune disease program, EGL-003, with an oral presentation at the 2024 Promise of Interleukin-2 Therapy Meeting17.7.2024 19:00:00 EEST | Press release
Egle Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on advancing the next generation of regulatory T cell-focused therapies for oncology and auto-immunity, will deliver an oral presentation at The Promise of Interleukin-2 Therapy meeting taking place in Paris from September 4th to 7th, 2024. The presentation, entitled “EGL-003, a novel IL-2 mutein to selectively expand and activate regulatory T cells and improve therapeutic efficacy in autoimmune disease”, will show evidence that EGL-003, a non-targeted Fc-fused IL-2 agonist mutein, selectively binds to regulatory T cells (Treg) and induces Treg IL-2 signaling. The resulting increase of Treg frequencies was observed in vitro and in different mouse models. Accordingly, EGL-003 significantly improved clinical, macroscopic, and histological parameters in a DSS-induced colitis mouse model with expansion of tissue-resident Tregs. EGL-003 is the first drug candidate being developed for treatment of autoimmune diseases in Egle’s pipeline and h
