Sinossi

Past City Life explores the evolution of urban living across millennia, intertwining historical urban development with contemporary city planning. It examines how cities of the past were organized, managed, and experienced, providing valuable lessons for addressing today's urban challenges.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the lived experiences of urban residents throughout history, offering a nuanced understanding of how urban planning decisions impacted daily life. One intriguing fact highlighted is how ancient cities, despite lacking modern technology, often developed sophisticated systems for water management and waste disposal, showcasing innovative solutions to common urban problems.

 
The book progresses by introducing fundamental concepts, then delving into specific historical periods and cities, such as ancient Rome and medieval London. It analyzes their infrastructure, social structures, and built environments. By comparing these historical urban experiences with modern city planning principles, Past City Life offers practical recommendations for creating more resilient and equitable cities. It underscores the idea that understanding historical precedents can significantly enhance modern urban design and contribute to more sustainable and livable urban spaces.

    The powerful story of how an immigrant from the Philippines overcame childhood trauma and an emotionally abusive marriage to find her voice and thrive 
     
     
     
    As a child in a small barrio in the Philippines, Deja Vu Prem faced neglect and physical abuse. At age seventeen, desperate to escape her situation and claim a better life for herself beyond the mountains of her town, she became a mail-order bride and moved to San Francisco. But the challenges of her childhood didn't go away—they merely evolved into the form of her emotionally abusive husband. 
     
     
     
    Cut off from her family and any kind of emotional or financial support, Prem was a prisoner in her own home, unable even to use the phone or check the mail. But she wasn't helpless. Relying on her deep faith and the fire within that had always pushed her to achieve, Prem made the brave decision to escape her situation to provide a better life for herself and her two young children. 
     
     
     
    Recounting Prem's harrowing yet hopeful journey, Beyond the Mountains is a stirring and moving portrait of one immigrant's refusal to be defined as a victim and a testament on finding the strength to forgive in order to reclaim the power that lives within us all.

    All words are made up. All words spoken between us are nothing more than made-up sounds from manipulated air. They're just lung puffs. 
    All of the letters that we text, email, and write are made-up symbols to coincide with our made-up noise. It's really just hand scribbles. 
    This would mean that everything from existence theories to religious ideologies to politics to our names and much more are all one hundred percent fabricated from thin air, literally. In fact, these words here and the pronunciation sounds you hear in your head as you read the symbols on this page are made up as well. Essentially, this book uses made-up words to further dissect and clarify other made-up words. However, by the end of this mental deconstruction and rebuild, you will walk away with this liberating awareness- 
    We just are. Existence just is.
