Summary

"Barrier-Free Cities" explores how urban environments can be intentionally designed to ensure equitable access for all citizens, regardless of ability. It argues that accessibility should be a proactive design philosophy, not just regulatory compliance. The book highlights the importance of universal design principles, benefiting not only individuals with disabilities but also the elderly and families with young children. Creating inclusive urban spaces can foster a more equitable and vibrant social structure. 

 
The book progresses through key themes, including accessible transportation systems, public facilities, and housing adaptations. Case studies from around the world showcase innovative solutions, such as tactile paving and adaptable housing. The historical and social context of the accessibility movement is examined, including the impact of legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It uniquely integrates knowledge from architecture, urban planning, and social science, offering practical design solutions for creating more inclusive urban environments.

The KLF - Chaos Magic and the...

John Higgs

In the early ’90s, the KLF was the biggest-selling singles band in the world—until they destroyed their records, erased themselves from music history, and literally set fire to one million pounds. 
In this fascinating and in-depth biography, popular British writer and cultural historian John Higgs digs into the story behind the end of one of the most popular bands of the late twentieth century. The band members themselves, when asked in interviews, were never able to satisfactorily explain their behavior, but looked haunted every time it came up. With his characteristically creative mind, Higgs leads readers on a journey to understand “a story that no one knows they are in—least of all the main characters.” 
Ranging from music history to chaos theory to Carl Jung and Doctor Who, this brilliant pop biography has been named one of the top ten music books of the year by The Guardian, The Independent, and MOJO magazine. Perfect for music buffs and mystery fans alike, The KLF is an engrossing and entertaining read.

Ahae Gangster Patron - Gangster...

Bernard Hasquenoph

April 2014: A ship sinks in South Korea, killing nearly 300 people.
2013: A Korean amateur photographer exhibits in Versailles.
August 1987: 32 members of the Korean Odaeyang sect are found dead.
 
The link between these facts? It was Bernard Hasquenoph who discovered it. Intrigued by the success of Ahae, the pseudonym of the amateur photographer, he leads the investigation and is the first to reveal the true identity of the Korean artist, billionaire and patron of the arts, entrepreneur and guru, with a vast and well-established network of influence. And the further he investigated, the more obscure and unbelievable the revelations became.
Through the portrait of one man, we plunge into a mafia world with unexpected ramifications, such as international cultural patronage, which brings into question the value of art and the probity of those in charge of it.
