Sinopsis

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.

The Overlife - A Tale of...

Diana Dirkby

The author of this book, Diana Dirkby, is an Australian-born research mathematician who lives with paranoid schizophrenia, a severe brain disorder, as did her mother. The title, “The Overlife,” suggests that a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be the beginning of a new, worthwhile life and not simply the death of the hopes and dreams that preceded the diagnosis. This book gives a fictional account of a mother and daughter living with paranoid schizophrenia. We follow the widely disparate effects of this brain disorder on Sarah, the narrator, and her mother, Jodie. We also meet Dalaigh, Jodie’s husband and Sarah’s father, with his violent resentment at being trapped in a marriage he doesn’t want. By age eight, Sarah is Jodie’s caregiver and must negotiate her mother’s rapidly worsening mental health and her father’s white-hot fury. The weight of these adult conflicts on the shoulders of one so young seems impossible to bear.

More Than Our Pain - Affect and...

Beth Hinderliter, Steve Peraza

Confronted by a crisis in black American leadership, state-sanctioned violence against black communities, and colorblind laws that trap black Americans in a racial caste system, Black Lives Matter activists and the artists inspired by them have devised new forms of political and cultural resistance. More Than Our Pain explores how affect and emotion can drive collective political and cultural action in the face of a new nadir in race relations in the United States. This foregrounding of affect and emotion marks a clear break from civil rights–era activists, who were often trained to counter false narratives about protesters as thugs and criminals by presenting themselves as impeccably groomed and disciplined young black Americans. In contrast, the Black Lives Matter movement in the early twenty-first-century makes no qualms about rejecting the politics of respectability. Affect and emotion has moved from the margin to the center of this new human rights movement, and by examining righteous rage, black joy, as well as grief and fatigue, among other emotions, the contributors celebrate the vitality of black life while documenting those who have harmed it.
