Sinossi

Skyscraper Windproofing explores the intricate engineering and architectural innovations that enable skyscrapers to withstand powerful winds. These towering structures rely on a combination of aerodynamic design, advanced damping systems, and cutting-edge material science to maintain stability. For instance, wind tunnel testing helps engineers optimize building shapes to minimize wind loads, while tuned mass dampers act like internal counterweights, absorbing and dissipating energy from wind-induced vibrations.

 
The book uniquely integrates theoretical principles with practical examples, showcasing real-world applications in iconic skyscrapers. Beginning with foundational aerodynamic concepts, it progresses through different types of damping systems and material considerations, culminating in case studies that highlight the successful implementation of these windproofing techniques.

 
It emphasizes a holistic approach, combining structural engineering with an understanding of atmospheric dynamics, which is essential for ensuring the safety and economic viability of skyscrapers. This book emphasizes the importance of structural health monitoring, showcasing how real-time data informs the ongoing maintenance and resilience of these architectural marvels. By examining topics like wind resistance and skyscraper design, the book provides valuable insights for structural engineers, architects, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of technology and architecture.

    An effective and inspiring guide to songwriting by prolific, iconic singer-songwriter Dar Williams.How to Write a Song That Matters is an invaluable guide to writing music by a woman who knows how to do it and do it well: iconic singer-songwriter, Dar Williams. For years now, Williams has led songwriting retreats for musicians, from beginners to professionals, in which she elevates the process of songwriting over the assessment of the product. This book makes those intimate experiences accessible for songwriters across the globe, gifting them with the insight Williams has gleaned from her decades of experience. First, it encourages songwriters to find something that inspires them and then to follow that inspiration, letting the clues of those first few notes or lines lead their narrative. Soon, the initial rhythms, the unique sounds of the melody, and/or specific vocabulary emerge, giving birth to a "voice" or a "world" that the song can exist in. As the writer proceeds, Williams encourages them to ask themselves: "Where did I go? Where did I REALLY go? What happened? What REALLY happened? What am I bringing back?" There are many other songwriting guides that hint to the reader that writing a "hit song" may be on the horizon if only the reader correctly follows the guide or program. In this book, however, Williams shows readers how to tap into their OWN creative process, using their psyches, their unique life experiences, and their muses to write the songs that they are meant to write. By focusing on the process of creating a song that matters, as opposed to producing a well-constructed "widget from a song factory," songwriters will be able to establish their own voice and use it to make meaningful music. Perfect for music lovers of all sorts who want to write songs, How to Write a Song That Matters is a one-of-a-kind-book that readers will turn to for guidance time and time again.

    Radio Phoenix, a dodgy little Australian community radio station broadcasting in the 1960's, held together with gaffer tape, bad decisions, and a mostly inept voluntary crew who probably shouldn’t even be trusted with electricity!  
     
    At the helm is Mick, the self-appointed boss — a bloke who reckons the world owes him a living and runs the joint by rules he makes up as he goes.  
     
    Then it all goes pear-shaped - In a moment of absolute madness the station is accidentally burnt to the ground! 
     
    With the town-folk breathing down their necks rumours of alien visitations, and a hard deadline looming.  The race is on to get Radio Phoenix back on air before the locals completely lose the plot ... and their minds! 
     
    Armed with no money, no brains, bugger-all common sense, and a truckload of bad luck, the question isn’t how they’ll pull it off— or if they’ll torch what’s left of the town along with it?

    David Curcio’s SMASH HIT: RACE, CRIME, AND CULTURE IN BOXING FILMS joins Armin Lear Press’ titles exploring the way key social issues surface in the arts.      Cinema emerged alongside the rules that ushered in boxing’s modern age and the “squared circle” proved the ideal stage for cinematic display. The public had its first taste of the new medium in 1894 through a heavyweight bout, recognized today as the world’s first feature film.     As the two attractions fast-grew into the country’s most popular entertainments, nascent Hollywood studios were quick to spot an opening for a surefire combo. Like a snap-jab to the teeth, the boxing film emerged as a popular genre wherein the fighter assumed his place among the private dicks, rebel cops, and desperate underdogs mired in America’s expanding urban landscape.     Devoting equal time to both mediums, SMASH HIT: RACE, CRIME, AND CULTURE IN BOXING FILMS uses twenty films as the basis of a hard-nosed exploration as to how the genre held a bloody mirror to twentieth century America’s most prominent social anxieties, elucidating two conjoined mediums that serve as bellwether to an ever-shifting cultural zeitgeist.     “David Curcio’s Smash Hit is a first-round knockout filled with strong writing and deep insight.”-Bob Batchelor, author of Roadhouse Blues: Morrison, the Doors, and the Death Days of the Sixties and Stan Lee: A Life     "David Curcio's absorbing, fascinating book sent me down a rabbit hole of so many memorable movies....and Smash Hit belongs in the company of the best of them."-Donald McRae, The Guardian     "Smash Hit is not about the sport of boxing so much as a view of American society in the context of boxing culture, film history, and Hollywood gossip. An entertaining, informative, lively read.”-Glen Sharp, author of Punching in the Shadows
