Sinossi

"Disaster-Resistant Design" explores the crucial topic of creating resilient infrastructure to protect communities from natural disasters. It emphasizes preventative design, advocating for proactive strategies that minimize the catastrophic impact of events like earthquakes and floods. The book highlights the importance of understanding natural forces, such as hydrostatic pressure during floods, and using sustainable materials to enhance structural integrity. It demonstrates that resilient design is not just about reacting to disasters but anticipating and mitigating their effects.

 
The book examines structural integrity, adaptive architecture, and the use of innovative materials like self-healing concrete in disaster-resistant design. It begins by establishing the fundamental principles of disaster-resistant design, then explores specific design strategies for various environmental hazards. Subsequent chapters delve into advanced materials and adaptive architectural designs. Case studies of successful and unsuccessful building efforts highlight the importance of preventative urban planning and architectural design.

    Shakespeare’s most sophisticated comedy is a riotous tale of hopelessly unrequited passions and mistaken identity. 
    Duke Orsino is in love with the noblewoman Olivia. She, however, has fallen for his servant Cesario, who is actually Viola, a woman disguised as a man, who loves Orsino: confusion is rife. Meanwhile, Olivia’s arrogant steward Malvolio is cruelly tricked by her uncle Sir Toby Belch, his friend Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and the maidservant Maria into believing his mistress loves him. 
    Niamh Cusack is Viola, Jonathan Firth is Orsino, Amanda Root plays Olivia, Dinsdale Landen plays Sir Toby Belch, and Julian Glover is Malvolio.

    Jimi Hendrix road manager and confidante Eric Barrett breaks fifty-five years of silence, revealing what it was like to live inside the rock legend’s orbit—at Woodstock, on the Isle of Wight, at a Toronto drug bust, and in the private moments when Hendrix let his guard down—set against the backdrop of Barrett’s full rock ’n’ roll career . . . a rock odyssey for the ages.As Jimi Hendrix’s road manager, Eric Barrett was there when the amps blew out in Milan, when Hendrix unleashed fire at Woodstock, when paranoia set in at the Toronto airport, and in the quiet hours backstage when Hendrix revealed the insecurities behind his genius. Hendrix confided in few people. Barrett was one of them. No one was closer to Hendrix’s supernatural talent—or his demons.Experienced is Barrett’s long-awaited, unflinching memoir: the definitive inside account of Hendrix as friend, bandleader, and phenomenon. It strips away the mythology to reveal the man in all his musical wizardry and human contradictions—volatile, generous, insecure, incandescently creative, and always in pursuit of the next sound.While his journey with Hendrix provides the book’s spine, Barrett’s decades on tour with David Bowie, Madonna, George Michael, and others add depth, parallels, and a sweeping sense of how Hendrix’s short life set the template for rock ’n’ roll excess—and survival—through the decades. The result is not just another rock memoir, but a once-in-a-lifetime backstage history of music’s most transformative years, told through the prism of Barrett’s ride on Hendrix’s incandescent rise and tragic fall.

    ***The Instant New York Times Bestseller!*** 
    An intimate look at the life and music of modern pop’s most legendary figure, Taylor Swift, from leading music journalist Rob Sheffield. 
    A cultural phenomenon. A worldwide obsession. An agent of emotional chaos. There’s no parallel to Taylor Swift in history: a teenage girl who turns into the world’s favorite pop star, songwriter, storyteller, guitar hero, live performer, changing how music is made and heard. An all-time great on the level of The Beatles, Prince, or David Bowie. 
    Heartbreak Is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music is the first book that goes deep on the musical and cultural impact of Taylor Swift. Nobody can tell the story like Rob Sheffield, the bestselling and award-winning author of Dreaming the Beatles, On Bowie, and Love Is a Mix Tape. The legendary Rolling Stone journalist is the writer who has chronicled Taylor for every step of her long career, from her early days to the Eras Tour. Sheffield gets right to the heart of Swift and her music, her lyrics, her fan connection, her raw power. 
    At once one of the most beloved music figures of the past two decades and one of the most criticized, Taylor Swift is known as much for her life beyond her music as she is for her hits—the most public of stars, yet also the weirdest and most mysterious. In the tradition of Sheffield’s Dreaming the Beatles, Heartbreak Is the National Anthem will inform and delight a legion of fans who hang on every word from Taylor and every word Rob writes on her.
