Sinossi

Gothic Architecture explores the origins, evolution, and lasting impact of Gothic architecture, a groundbreaking style that redefined medieval building. This book argues that Gothic architecture was more than just a design choice; it was a technological and artistic response to societal needs, made possible by innovations like ribbed vaults, pointed arches, and flying buttresses. Imagine the ingenuity required to construct soaring cathedrals like Notre-Dame de Paris, defying gravity with walls of stained glass.

 
The book traces the transition from Romanesque to Gothic, examining the cultural and economic factors that paved the way for this architectural revolution. It delves into the core features of Gothic cathedrals, analyzing iconic examples and the engineering principles behind them. It also investigates regional variations across Europe, highlighting how local materials and traditions shaped the style.

 
Finally, it examines the Gothic Revival, demonstrating the style's enduring appeal. Through architectural drawings, historical documents, and visual analysis, the book reveals the technical achievements, artistic innovations, and cultural significance of Gothic architecture. It adopts a practical approach, blending technical and artistic perspectives, making it valuable for students, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in architectural history.

    Donald Trump is the exact threat our Founding Fathers feared. 
    Joe Walsh is as rock-ribbed a conservative as they come. But he believes that no right-wing policy victory is worth the loss of our very democracy. 
    In this clear-eyed and unsparing book, Walsh makes the case that Trump has more in common with the foreign dictators he praises publicly than a predecessor like Ronald Reagan. Trump is an existential threat to conservatism, the presidency, and national unity. He has violated the Constitution in plain sight, assaulted democratic institutions, overwhelmed the country with disinformation, erected around himself a cult of personality, and governed according to his narcissism more than any discernable political philosophy. 
    Though Walsh agrees with Trump that the Washington elite has hung working-class America out to dry, traveling down the road to despotism is no response. And now a person who places himself above the rule of law and accountability sits in the Oval Office—all that’s missing is a big, beautiful throne behind the Resolute Desk.  
    In F*ck Silence, Walsh challenges his countrymen, especially his fellow conservatives, to acknowledge and oppose this unpatriotic and un-American behavior before we give away what made America great in the first place: our democracy.

    The developing brains of our children need to "feel" safe. 
     
     
     
    Children who carry chronic behavioral challenges are often met with reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. 
     
     
     
    This book deeply addresses the need for coregulatory and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult regulated brain and body states which are brain aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience.

    The Prince

    Niccolò Machiavelli

    Given the tumultuous political era in which he lived, Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527), the Italian Renaissance author, philosopher, historian and diplomat, had a front-row seat to observe the political machinations, power struggles and dynastic changes in Renaissance Europe. He would compile these observations in "The Prince," which would swiftly gain a reputation both as a simple treatise on how to achieve and wield political power as well as an immoral, by-the-numbers account of how tyrants can seize and maintain dictatorships.   As a result of the teachings in this book, Machiavelli's very name has become an adjective - "Machiavellian" - that has come to denote political deception, cold-blooded calculation and the use of treachery as a means to seize power.   It is presented here in its original and unabridged format, translated from the Italian by Luigi Ricci.

    The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly—a reference to the fact that Baltimore's majority-Black population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city like a butterfly's wings—Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country. 
     
     
     
    Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy. Drawing on social science research, policy analysis, and archival materials, Brown reveals the long history of racial segregation's impact on health, from toxic pollution to police brutality. 
     
     
     
    Brown offers a clear five-step plan for activists, nonprofits, and public officials to achieve racial equity. Brown offers up a wide range of innovative solutions to help heal and restore redlined Black neighborhoods, including municipal reparations. The Black Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how Black neighborhoods matter.
