Beschreibung

Famous Skyscrapers explores the captivating history and cultural impact of iconic skyscrapers around the world. More than just feats of engineering, these towering structures reflect the aspirations and values of the societies that built them, reshaping city skylines and influencing urban planning.

 
The book examines the evolution of skyscraper design, highlighting how innovations in structural engineering, such as the invention of the elevator and steel-frame construction, enabled the construction of progressively taller buildings.

 
The book adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, guiding readers through the multifaceted story of skyscrapers, from the early pioneers like Louis Sullivan to the modern marvels in cities like Dubai and Shanghai. It delves into the technical aspects, such as wind-resistant design, and explores the impact of skyscrapers on urban environments, addressing debates surrounding their environmental impact and social equity.

 
Each chapter builds upon the previous ones, providing a comprehensive overview of how these structures have shaped our cities and cultural identity. By examining architectural drawings, engineering reports, and historical documents, Famous Skyscrapers reveals the complex interplay of factors that have propelled skyscraper construction. It shows how skyscrapers not only represent architectural achievements but also serve as symbols of economic power.

    Permian Period The: The History...

    Among the most interesting of the prehistoric eras is the Permian age, the most extreme period in the planet’s history. It spanned 47 million years, beginning with an ice age, warming, and ending with the most cataclysmic volcanic episode in the planet’s history. The great bulk of all life on the Earth was almost immediately snuffed out, barely crawling back over the following 10 to 30 million years, and it set the stage for the “Age of Dinosaurs.” 
    	What is termed by some as the “Pennsylvanian” or “Carboniferous” period prepared the emergence of the Permian age. Named for the abundance of rocks from the period found in the state of Pennsylvania, many prefer the term “Silesian” or “Carboniferous” era. In the preceding “Mississippian era,” warm, shallow seas disappeared causing serious upheaval to marine life in a tendency toward glaciation.  
    	“Significant glaciation” marks the beginning of the Carboniferous immediately preceding the Permian. Carboniferous glaciation began in the late Ordovician Period long before. The eventual Andean-Saharan glaciation, a minor ice age, occurred later in the Silurian Age. These were all remnants of the “Snowball Earth” period of the Cryogenian. 
    	The resultant sea level drop as the Carboniferous ice age set in produced conditions much like that of today, with ice on both poles, wet tropics near the equator and temperate regions in between. Despite similar conditions, the Carboniferous lacked the output of greenhouse gases produced by humans. 
    	Fragments of plates collided as continents were still fusing into the supercontinent Pangea. During glaciation, “latitudinal climactic belts were widespread.” Permian rocks have been found on all the continents and some have been displaced “considerable distances from their original latitudes” in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras that followed the Permian.

    Aretha Franklin's Amazing Grace

    This is a fascinating and thoroughly researched exploration of the best-selling gospel album of all time. For two days in January 1972, Aretha Franklin sang at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles while tape recorders and film cameras rolled. Everyone there knew the event had the potential to be historic: five years after ascending to soul royalty and commercial success, Franklin was publicly returning to her religious roots. Her influential minister father stood by her on the pulpit. Her mentor, Clara Ward, sat in the pews. Franklin responded to the occasion with the performance of her life and the resulting double album became a multi-million seller - even without any trademark hit singles. But that was just one part of the story. Franklin's warm inimitable voice, virtuoso jazz-soul instrumental group and Rev. James Cleveland's inventive choral arrangements transformed the course of gospel. Through new interviews, musical and theological analyses as well as archival discoveries, this book sets the scene, traces the recording's traditional origins and pop infusions and describes the album's enduring impact.
