Sinopse

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 By examining architectural drawings, engineering reports, and historical documents, Famous Skyscrapers reveals the complex interplay of factors that have propelled skyscraper construction.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.

  • A Burning House - Redeeming American Evangelicalism by Examining Its History Mission and Message - cover

    A Burning House - Redeeming...

    Despite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and '60s, Martin Luther King Jr.—increasingly concerned by America's moral vision, admitted—"I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 
    In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom—peace, justice, and wholeness—in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us. 
    Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to understand how we came to be where we are and what our response should be. Instead of calling the movement to become something new, he challenges it to live into what it has always been in Christ and strive for deliberate and sacrificial integration—the unity of believers of all ethnicities. 
    A Burning House is a rallying call to a waning movement whose most public leaders have often turned a blind eye to, or even justified, the sin of racism—a movement whose theology is sometimes compromised by a secular anthropology. This is a call to both white and black evangelicals to better understand our past so that we can better embrace the unifying and comprehensive message of the gospel we preach.
