Summary

Jeddah Tower explores the ambitious undertaking of constructing what is slated to be the world's tallest skyscraper. It examines the architectural and technological innovations required to reach unprecedented heights, delving into engineering solutions for wind resistance and foundation stability. The book also considers the tower's role as a symbol of modern Saudi Arabia and its broader impact on urban development.

 
The book analyzes the evolution of skyscraper construction, exploring advanced materials like high-strength concrete and steel. It investigates how sustainable building practices are integrated into the design, aiming to balance ambition with environmental responsibility.

 
The text progresses logically, starting with the initial designs and engineering challenges, then moving through soil mechanics, aerodynamic solutions, and construction methods, and finally culminating in an analysis of the tower's economic significance.

 
What sets this book apart is its integration of technical expertise with a comprehensive overview of the project’s broader context. By presenting detailed engineering reports, architectural plans, and interviews with key individuals, Jeddah Tower offers valuable insights for architects, engineers, urban planners, and anyone fascinated by the complexities of modern megaprojects.

    The ultimate photographic collection of the most historic trees on the planet. 
    Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves. 
    “[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post 
    First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City. 
    Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. 
    Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants. 
    For fans of Gene Stone (Animalkind), Scott Christianson (Fatal Airs), Valentina D'Efilippo (The Brain), Simon Sebag Montefiore (Stalin), and Nigel Farndale (Haw-Haw).

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    In 'The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture,' renowned physician Gabor Maté explores the alarming rise of chronic illness and poor health in Western societies. He challenges the conventional definition of 'normal' health, revealing how trauma, stress, and the pressures of modern life negatively impact our physical and mental well-being. Drawing on four decades of clinical experience, Maté uncovers the shortcomings of Western medicine and its failure to address the holistic health of individuals. Co-authored with his son Daniel, this groundbreaking book connects the dots between individual maladies and society's overall decline in well-being, offering a compassionate guide for healing.

    Assuming the Ecosexual Position...

    What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor. 
     
     
     
    Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.

    The journey into the digital age began with the spark of human ingenuity and the desire to simplify complex tasks. Early civilizations laid the groundwork for computation by devising systems to manage trade, record history, and calculate astronomical events. These early tools, such as the abacus and mechanical calculators, may seem rudimentary by modern standards, yet they were the building blocks of a monumental transformation. 
    In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the seeds of the digital age began to take root. Pioneers like Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace envisioned the potential of programmable machines long before the technology to build them existed. Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine contained the first algorithm intended for implementation on a machine, earning her recognition as the world’s first computer programmer. Their ideas laid a conceptual foundation that would inspire future innovators. 
    The advent of World War II catalyzed the development of modern computing. The need for advanced cryptography, ballistics calculations, and logistical coordination drove governments and researchers to invest in computational technologies. Alan Turing, often referred to as the father of computer science, developed the Turing Machine, a theoretical construct that became a cornerstone of computer science. His work at Bletchley Park, cracking the German Enigma code, not only shortened the war but also showcased the immense potential of automated computation.
