Sinossi

"Bridge Builders" explores the captivating world of bridge engineering, revealing the blend of science, technology, and human innovation required to erect these vital structures. Readers will discover the intricate engineering principles that govern bridge design, including load-bearing capacity and the impact of environmental forces. The book also traces the historical evolution of bridge construction, from simple beam bridges to complex suspension marvels, providing crucial context for understanding modern practices.

 
The book emphasizes that bridge construction is a profoundly human endeavor driven by the need for connection. Examining iconic bridges globally, it illustrates how engineering solutions intertwine with environmental conditions and social needs. Each chapter delves into specific bridge types—beam, arch, truss, suspension, and cable-stayed—exploring design processes, materials, and construction techniques. Case studies like the Golden Gate Bridge and Millau Viaduct exemplify these concepts.

 
Concluding with a look at the future, "Bridge Builders" explores emerging technologies like smart materials and sustainable design, while also discussing the broader social and economic implications of bridge construction on community development and regional connectivity.

    The Value Gap - Female-Driven...

    Conversations about gender equity in the workplace accelerated in the 2010s, with debates inside Hollywood specifically pointing to broader systemic problems of employment disparities and exploitative labor practices. Compounded by the devastating #MeToo revelations, these problems led to a wide-scale call for change. The Value Gap traces female-driven filmmaking across development, financing, production, film festivals, marketing, and distribution, examining the realities facing women working in the industry during this transformative moment. Drawing from five years of extensive interviews with female producers, writers, and directors at different stages of their careers, Courtney Brannon Donoghue examines how Hollywood business cultures "value" female-driven projects as risky or not bankable. Industry claims that "movies targeting female audiences don't make money" or "women can't direct big-budget blockbusters" have long circulated to rationalize systemic gender inequities and have served to normalize studios prioritizing the white male–driven status quo. Through a critical media industry studies lens, The Value Gap challenges this pervasive logic with firsthand accounts of women actively navigating the male-dominated and conglomerate-owned industrial landscape.

    Growing up around music, young George was inspired to piece together a makeshift drum set and teach himself to play as he practiced in the dark, dank basement of his rundown New Jersey townhouse. 
     
     
     
    He soon joined forces with his friends to form a group called the Jazziacs, which then evolved into Kool & The Gang, a band that began charting hits while its members were still teenagers. By evolving their sound as musical tastes changed, the band was able to stay on the charts for decades, scoring twelve Top 10 hits in Funk, R&B, Pop, and Rock, and selling over seventy million albums while navigating the highs and lows of their career. 
     
     
     
    In Too Hot, drummer, keyboardist, and primary songwriter George Brown describes life in and out of the band, including a raucous life on the road as the band's popularity grew. He weathered the ups and downs of his musical career and navigated many challenges, including prescription drug addiction and depression. 
     
     
     
    George shares how his recent cancer scare, and subsequent treatment, compelled him to share his story, warts and all, to give listeners a glimpse into a band whose reputation was considered relatively tame, when in reality, it was exactly the opposite.
