Synopsis

Iconic Skyline Changes examines how cityscapes have transformed into the towering skylines we know today. It explores the architectural, historical, and social forces driving these changes. The book reveals how technological advancements, like steel-frame construction, enabled the creation of modern skyscrapers. It also analyzes how economic factors and political ambitions influence urban expansion, shaping our urban landscapes. The book argues that skylines reflect societal values, technological capabilities, and economic priorities.

Ultimately, the book connects urban development to broader historical and cultural trends. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of urban history and the drivers behind architectural innovation while discovering how urban designers are creating more sustainable and equitable urban environments.

    Necessary Death - What Horror...

    Based on very real and practical commentary, life experience, and occasionally, tongue-in-cheek-misfortunes of horror legends, Necessary Death explores how the horror genre offers individuals a unique opportunity for insight and understanding of their own lives. 
     
     
     
    Using some of the most quintessential movies in the genre, Chris Grosso and Preston Fassel invite listeners to an in-depth examination of the human condition—its fears, anxieties, hopes, joys, sorrows, and everything in-between—and how it's all grist for our personal and collective evolutionary mill. A hallmark of the genre is how horror films force their characters to find some semblance of inner strength and wherewithal in order to stand up to the monster, ghost, or villain that is trying to take their lives. Through fascinating discussion of this and other elements, Fassel and Grosso relate these films' dark subject matter and characters to real world issues people face every day. This sharp analysis is complemented by exercises that prompt listeners to consider gratitude, forgiveness, determination, and bravery in the face of adversity. 
     
     
     
    An unusual mix of film study and self-help, Necessary Death might surprise or even shock listeners, but it will also enlighten, educate, and most importantly hearten those looking for an unexpected source of inspiration.

    Paper Paradise - Do What You...

    Paper Paradise: Do What You Want To Do is a roller coaster ride through the sex, drugs and rock and roll of the ’60s and ’70s to the high-flying business world of the ’80s and into the ’90s and beyond—with someone who lived it all. 
    It is a book about ambition, hunger, desperation, success and the fruits thereof. Oh yes, it is also about failure and fighting back. 
    Charting the extraordinary life and times of Glenn Wheatley, from working class boy to rock star of the 1960s and 1970s as a member of one of Australia’s most successful early bands, the Masters Apprentices, now immortalised in the ARIA Hall of Fame. In their heyday, the Masters drew bigger crowds than the Beatles in Australia. 
    In the 1980s he soared from rock star to star manager of the Little River Band and Whispering Jack, John Farnham. He also pioneered the FM Radio industry with the first FM radio station to go to air in Australia, EON FM in Melbourne. He then went on to build the foundation of what is now the Triple M radio network. 
    It is a narrative littered with casualties and is an actual account of a self-protective society that has its own Kings and Queens, its own iconography, its own language. 
    After a meteoric rise in the fast lane, and an equally spectacular fall, he made it back to the top. Glenn was the ultimate rock and roll survivor.

    Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate yet bizarre. Many people have stood still over the wonders and simplicity of cubism and surrealism and have either been disgusted or amazed by it. 
    Picasso’s personal life was filled with struggles, but some of those were likely self-imposed. From records, we learn that he had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and was extremely abusive in several of his relationships, dominating the women he slept with in kinky, sadistic ways. His children weren’t any better off, creating substance abuse and suicidal headlines. 
    Despite of the dysfunctionality in his personal and family life, his artwork reflected something new and fresh. His concepts of color, contrast, and composition have inspired many. And in a variety of paintings, an underlying rebel message against totalitarian regimes and the cruelty of warfare can be seen. Having lived through many of the horrors of the Spanish war, as well as other 20th-century conflicts, the painter showed both style and morale in his works and has left a legacy that can be studied by the masses.
