Summary

Floating Airports explores a cutting-edge solution to airport congestion and land scarcity: constructing airport runways on water. This approach offers relief for densely populated urban areas, potentially reducing noise pollution and minimizing land acquisition. The book examines the architectural and technological innovations required to make floating airports a reality. For example, the book analyzes how concrete pontoons and artificial islands can serve as stable platforms, while wave dampening technologies can increase safety and stability.

 
The book progresses through engineering principles, technological innovations, and environmental impacts. It assesses the viability of floating airports by analyzing case studies of existing floating structures like offshore platforms. This approach provides a practical understanding of the challenges and solutions involved.

 
The book also delves into the potential effects on marine ecosystems and the economic benefits of increased airport capacity, making it a valuable resource for airport planners, architects, and policymakers interested in sustainable development.
Available since: 03/12/2025.

    A vivid, joyful, moving window onto the life and heart of an American icon. 
 
In the spring of 2018, Tom Piazza climbed into a 1977 Coupe de Ville with the great singer-songwriter John Prine to write an article for the Oxford American. Their Florida road trip ignited a deep friendship, full of tall tales over epic meals, long nights playing guitar and trading songs, and visits back and forth between their homes in Nashville and New Orleans. Along the way, Prine invited Piazza to work with him on a memoir, with John telling sprawling, often hilarious stories of his youth and family in Chicago and Kentucky, his breakthrough into the national spotlight, his riotous early years in the Nashville country scene, and much more. When Prine died suddenly of COVID in April 2020, that unfinished memoir evolved into an intimate and very personal narrative of the artist's final years. In it, Piazza offers fans an unforgettable portrait of the beloved musician in his late glory―as a boyish cut-up, an epic raconteur, a great American poet, and, most important, a beloved friend.

    Whistler's work can be divided into four periods. The first was a research period in which the artist was influenced by the Realism of Gustave Courbet and by Japanese art. Whistler then discovered his own originality in the Nocturnes and the Cremorne Gardens series, thereby coming into conflict with the academics who wanted a work of art to tell a story. When he painted the portrait of his mother, Whistler entitled it Arrangement in Gray and Black, and this is symbolic of his aesthetic theories.

    This book has one purpose—to offer everyone the opportunity to become as wild about modern and contemporary art as I am. I am committed that your visits to modern and contemporary art exhibits become joyful, enriching experiences that you eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over. 
I say that the ability to appreciate art, including every type of art, is innate to all human beings. I have discovered that unlocking this natural love of art has much more to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information. 
When I look at my own love affair with the art of our time, I see clearly that when I am focused entirely on the art in front of me—setting aside judgment and cognitive thinking—that's when I find myself profoundly moved and deeply satisfied. 
I have come to the conclusion that the key to unlocking the magic of modern and contemporary art is in the ability to immerse oneself in the art and truly "experience" it. So, the obvious and most vital question becomes, "How does one learn to experience modern and contemporary art?" That is the work of this book.
