Synopsis

Concrete Strength Unveiled explores the profound story of concrete, a construction material that has fundamentally shaped our world. From its ancient Roman origins, where volcanic ash mixtures created remarkably durable structures, to its modern iterations in skyscrapers and bridges, the book traces concrete's evolution. It highlights how the reinvention of portland cement spurred the Industrial Revolution and how reinforced concrete revolutionized structural engineering.

 
The book presents a unique blend of historical narrative and scientific analysis, revealing how concrete's strength and adaptability have enabled architectural innovation and urban planning. It progresses chronologically, beginning with concrete's basic constituents and their properties, then examining pivotal advancements.

 
The volume addresses contemporary concrete technologies, including sustainable options, while also exploring the environmental challenges associated with its production.

    Ten years ago, Ilyse Kennedy was a disconnected twenty-something, sitting on a therapy couch, grappling with her own trauma. Now, as a trauma therapist, Kennedy shows up ready to attune to her treasured clients. Those who meet her might be surprised to know that this twenty-something still lives within her. She also has a people pleaser, who caters to the needs of others for self-protection. Then there is the therapist within her, who offers tools and solutions for her clients. The twenty-something, people pleaser, and therapist are all parts within her—they are adaptations she formed in response to traumas—who show up to aid her in interacting with the outside world. 
     
     
     
    In The Tender Parts, part memoir, part self-help, Kennedy leads you through the process of meeting, embracing, and tending to your own parts through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a form of therapy that explores the parts within us. With meditations, exercises, and an introduction to her own parts, she provides you with an opportunity to get to know the parts within yourself, offer them compassion, and relieve them of their burdens so you can heal your inner wounds and be more attuned to the Self. As you meet Kennedy's parts, your understanding and knowledge of your own parts will deepen, allowing you to reconnect with your center and approach the world with openhearted joy.

    Once Upon a Place explores narratives from modern film, famous fairy tales, and ancient mythology to define the five core locations that shape every story: the Cavern, the Deep, the Vessel, the Forest, and the Labyrinth. 
     
     
     
    Popularized by Joseph Campbell, the hero's journey features narrative stages along which a person matures and transforms. But where heroes transform is just as important as what they do to get there. Holly Bellebuono shows you how the location of each hero's journey step is intimately tied to the challenges faced, setting the tone for the entire adventure. 
     
     
     
    To illustrate each location, Bellebuono shares fifteen original adaptations—such as the tales of Persephone, Gilgamesh, Cerridwen, and Alice—to explore how the "sense of place" drives the adventure and outcome. From Innana's descent into the Cavern to Snow White entering the Forest, this book offers powerful wisdom about personal growth, life's purpose, and the origins of creativity.
