Beschreibung

Towers Tilted explores the fascinating world of leaning towers, investigating the architectural and engineering factors that cause these structures to defy gravity. It highlights how a combination of ambition, miscalculation, and environmental conditions can lead to these iconic tilts. The book delves into examples worldwide, from Pisa to Suurhusen, showcasing the diverse causes of inclination and the innovative engineering solutions developed to preserve these historical buildings. It also underscores the importance of understanding soil mechanics and structural engineering in construction.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with a global tour of tilted towers and their historical contexts. It then delves into the science behind the tilt, examining soil composition and foundation design, and environmental factors. Finally, it focuses on preservation and intervention, detailing the methods used to stabilize these structures, such as soil extraction and structural reinforcement.

 
By blending historical narrative with technical analysis, Towers Tilted offers a unique perspective on how these initially perceived failures have become testaments to human resilience and cultural endurance, providing valuable lessons for contemporary architects and engineers.

    A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women's lives 
     
     
     
    With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades' experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today's prisons and jails only magnify their trauma— and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another's well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women's prisons and jails—and what we can do to help.

    The Postmodern Predicament -...

    Human beings have taken one thing for granted since our earliest days: we are bodily creatures dealing with one another on a face-to-face basis. The internet has shattered this fundamental feature of human existence. We are suddenly living our lives in two worlds at once—shifting endlessly from virtual to physical reality as we reach out to others. 
     
     
     
    Worse yet, we are developing different personal identities in our two worlds. We say and do things in virtual reality that flatly contradict our face-to-face commitments to family, friends, and fellow-workers—and vice versa. The Postmodern Predicament explores these dilemmas at each phase of the life cycle, beginning at the moment a young child picks up a cell phone. 
     
     
     
    The existentialist tradition of the twentieth century provides a precious perspective on our postmodern dilemmas. Thinkers and doers like Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre considered the fragmentation of modern life as a central source of contemporary anxieties. Like them, Ackerman views the challenges of the internet age as a political, no less than personal, problem—and proposes concrete reforms that that could mobilize broad-based support for democracy against demagogic assaults on its very foundations.
