Synopsis

One of the important themes that have dominated the architectural scene during the last 30 years is the question of regional identity, and the question of New Zealand identity in specific. Traditionally, architectural discourse has been largely concerned with form. It has been dominated by disputes that turn around questions of style. Although architects have been looking overseas for new ideas and models from Europe and America, many architects recognised that the creation of a New Zealand style was a priority. Many New Zealand architects’ buildings embody and express cultural and social meanings, which relate them to the wider New Zealand context. Among these architects, Roger Walker and Ian Athfield, whos styles offer a potentially rich field for the discussion of New Zealand identity.

    Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series 
     
    Welcome to a revolutionary approach to language learning! This series helps you master Spanish by intertwining it with compelling topics like Cognitive Biases. Each book centers on a theme (art, science, history) and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and Spanish. 
     
    How It Works: 
     
    - Each fact is first introduced in Spanish, encouraging you to interpret it. 
     
    - The following page provides the fact in English and then repeats it in Spanish, aiding comprehension and memorization. 
     
    - The second half flips this order—English first, then Spanish, and English again—helping you practice translation in both directions for better mastery. 
     
    Benefits: 
     
    - Concise Learning: Focuses on one-sentence facts to ensure every word learned is impactful and directly related to your interests, making them easier to remember. 
     
    - Reinforcement: Alternating languages for each fact naturally strengthens vocabulary and grammar. 
     
    - Engagement: Learning vocabulary through topics you're passionate about keeps the process dynamic and relevant. 
     
    - Dual Knowledge: You enrich your understanding of a specific subject while learning a new language. 
     
    This series is tailored for learners who thrive on clear, targeted information, making it both educational and enjoyable. Whether you’re a beginner or expanding your linguistic skills, this series promises an effective and engaging educational journey. Embrace these 100 facts and let your passions drive your progress in mastering a new language!

    Bill Rush's exceptional journey continues to encourage and inspire all who aspire to live fully and contribute to society. Bill lived with a significant disability of quadriplegic cerebral palsy. He did not have use of his arms, hands or voice. Society’s prejudices proved to be a greater obstacle than his disability in attaining his first life’s goal of completing college. William (Bill) L. Rush chronicled his extraordinary life from childhood until graduation from the University of Nebraska —Lincoln in Journey Out of Silence, first published in 1986. This second edition brings back into print Bill's original chronicle of his personal "Journey Out of Silence." It also contains an introduction to Our Life Our Way, the sequel.

    Entering 1943, the Allies looked to press their advantage in the Pacific and Western Europe. The United States was firmly pushing the Japanese back across the Pacific, while the Americans and British plotted a major invasion somewhere in Western Europe to relieve the pressure on the Soviets. By the time the Allies conducted that invasion, the Soviets had lifted the siege of Stalingrad.  
    	Even before the British and Americans were able to make major strategic decisions in 1943, a massive German surrender at Stalingrad in February marked the beginning of the end for Hitler’s armies in Russia. From that point forward, the Red Army started to steadily push the Nazis backward toward Germany. Yet it would still take the Red Army almost an entire two years to push the Germans all the way out of Russia. In July, just a few months after the surrender at Stalingrad, the Allies conducted what at the time was the largest amphibious invasion in history, coordinating the landing of two whole armies on Sicily, over a front more than 100 miles long. Within weeks of the beginning of the Allied campaign in Italy, Italy’s government wasted no time negotiating peace with the Allies and quickly quit the war.  
    	Though Italy was no longer fighting for the Axis, German forces continued to occupy and control Italy in 1943. The Germans attempted to resist the Allies’ invasion on Sicily but were badly outmanned and outgunned, leading to a German evacuation of the island within a month. The Allies would land on the mainland of Italy in September and continue to campaign against the Germans there. 
    	With Allied forces firmly established in Italy, the British and Americans began to plot a much more massive invasion to liberate Western Europe from the Nazis.
