Sinopse

Underground Freight Tunnels explores the revolutionary concept of moving freight underground to alleviate urban congestion and improve air quality. Historically, tunnels have been used for passenger transport and utilities; however, this book focuses on the emergence of subterranean systems dedicated to freight, highlighting their potential to reshape urban logistics. It examines the intricate aspects of tunnel construction, automated freight handling technologies, and the economic and environmental impacts of integrating these systems, arguing that they offer a sustainable solution to the challenges posed by urbanization and e-commerce.

 
The book delves into various tunnel construction methodologies suited for different geological conditions and emphasizes the importance of automated systems, such as robotic loading and centralized controls, for efficient freight management. It also presents a holistic view by integrating technological feasibility with economic viability and environmental sustainability. Case studies, financial models, and insights from engineers and urban planners demonstrate the long-term benefits of underground freight systems, addressing concerns about initial costs and construction disruptions.

 
The book progresses from introducing the fundamentals of underground logistics to exploring tunnel construction techniques and automated systems. Later chapters assess economic feasibility, environmental impact, and social considerations, culminating in a discussion of future expansion and necessary policy changes. It offers practical guidelines for implementation, making it a valuable resource for engineers, urban planners, and policymakers interested in innovative urban solutions.

Karma's Child - The Story of...

Subhash Ghai, Suveen Sinha

Subhash Ghai is the man behind some of Hindi cinema's most iconic movies. Of the sixteen films he made between 1976 and 2008, twelve-Kalicharan, Karz, Vidhaata, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Meri Jung, Saudagar, Khal Nayak, Pardes, Taal and Yaadein-were blockbusters, and the others were critically acclaimed. Known for the strong stories, the memorable music and the grandeur of his films, Ghai not only helmed dream-cast multi-starrers but also signed on rank newcomers who went on to become established names in Bollywood. With his innovative thinking, he brought the crowds flocking back to the theatres when video piracy was at its peak, was the first in India to release the music of a film on audio CD and was a pioneer in taking Hindi cinema to global markets. 
A self-made man who rose to dizzying heights, Ghai proved the adage that destinies are created-and destroyed-every day in the Mumbai film industry. Today he runs Whistling Woods, the country's foremost film institute: his legacy to future generations of filmmakers.  
Karma's Child, his memoir, written with Suveen Sinha, tells the story of a man who believed he was destined to direct his own future, no less dramatically than a Subhash Ghai film-and did so.

Hairspray - A Screenplay

John Waters

A feel-good fable and an enduring critique of conformity told with true John Waters flair. Listen as Waters himself acts out each role!Tracy Turnblad, a spunky, full-figured Baltimore teen, wants nothing more than to be a featured dancer on The Corny Collins Show. So when she gets chosen to be on the air, it seems like all her dreams are about to come true. But when she and some of the Black cast of the show try to integrate the segregated dancing, things take on a life of their own. A sweet, hopeful parable about the dangers of conformity and segregation, Hairspray is perhaps the one optimistic entry in John Waters’s shocking and delightfully deranged oeuvre. Both a clear-eyed social critique and a celebration of the dizzying aesthetics of Baltimore in the early 1960s, this is another, softer side to the essential John Waters.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
