Sinossi

Famous Bridges explores the evolution of bridge design and its profound impact on history, revealing how these structures are more than just infrastructure; they are symbols of human innovation. From ancient Roman aqueducts, showcasing early engineering prowess, to the transformative bridges of the Industrial Revolution, like the iconic Iron Bridge, the book demonstrates how bridges have connected cultures, boosted economies, and facilitated urban development. These constructions highlight our capacity to conquer physical barriers and unite diverse communities.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with the fundamental principles of bridge engineering, such as beam, arch, and suspension designs. It then examines ancient bridges, followed by the revolutionary designs of the Industrial Revolution, and concludes with modern marvels. The book emphasizes sustainable design principles for future bridge construction.

 
Through architectural plans, historical accounts, and engineering analyses, Famous Bridges provides a unique perspective by blending technical knowledge with compelling historical narratives, making complex concepts understandable for a broad audience interested in architecture, history, and engineering.

    On James Baldwin

    Colm Tóibín

    Acclaimed Irish novelist Colm Tóibín first read James Baldwin just after turning eighteen. He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing. Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, Tóibín found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar. 
     
     
     
    From On James Baldwin: 
     
     
     
    Baldwin was interested in the hidden and dramatic areas in his own being, and was prepared as a writer to explore difficult truths about his own private life. In his fiction, he had to battle for the right of his protagonists to choose or influence their destinies. He knew about guilt and rage and bitter privacies in a way that few of his White novelist contemporaries did. And this was not simply because he was Black and homosexual; the difference arose from the very nature of his talent, from the texture of his sensibility. "All art," he wrote, "is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up." 
     
     
     
    On James Baldwin is a magnificent contemporary author's tribute to one of his most consequential literary progenitors.

    An expansive and accessible account of anarchism as a theory of practice. 
     
     
     
    Means and Ends is a new overview of the revolutionary strategy of anarchism in Europe and the United States between 1868 and 1939. Zoe Baker clearly and accessibly explains the ideas that historical anarchists developed in order to change the world. This includes their views on direct action, revolution, organization, state socialism, reforms, and trade unions. Throughout, she demonstrates that the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a theoretical framework—a theory of practice—which maintained that, as people engage in activity, they simultaneously change the world and themselves. This theoretical framework was the foundation for the anarchist commitment to the unity of means and ends: the means that revolutionaries propose to achieve social change have to involve forms of activity which transform people into individuals who are capable of, and driven to, both overthrow capitalism and the state and build a free society. The consistent heart of anarchism was the idea that anarchist ends can only be achieved through anarchist means. Cutting through misconceptions and historical inaccuracies, Baker draws upon a vast assortment of examples to show how this simple premise underpinned anarchist attempts to put theory into action.
