Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Some Architectural Problems of To-Day," C. H. Sir Reilly delves into the pressing challenges faced by contemporary architecture, addressing issues related to urbanization, sustainability, and functionality. Through an analytical lens enriched with observations from the early 20th century, Reilly employs a clear, articulate style that juxtaposes theoretical discourse with practical considerations. The book serves as both a critique and an exploration of architectural paradigms, capturing the zeitgeist of an era grappling with rapid change and innovation in the built environment. C. H. Sir Reilly, known for his extensive work in architectural design and urban planning, was influenced by the socio-economic shifts of his time, including the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution. His experiences in various architectural commissions and involvement in civic projects provided him with a unique perspective on how architecture interacts with social needs and environmental constraints. This background informs his thoughtful exploration of architectural practices and their implications for modern society. This book is highly recommended for students, professionals, and enthusiasts of architecture, as it not only presents critical insights into contemporary design challenges but also inspires a deeper understanding of the discipline's role in shaping future urban landscapes. Reilly's work is essential for anyone interested in the dialogue between architecture, society, and environmental stewardship.

Viral Infections - Stealthy...

Lilly Richardsen

In the microscopic realm of human disease, viral pathogens represent some of the most elusive, adaptable, and consequential threats to global health. Operating at the boundary between living and non-living entities, viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to hijack cellular machinery, evade immune detection, and persist within host populations. This comprehensive exploration delves into three viral infections of profound clinical and social significance—HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis, and Herpes—each representing a distinct paradigm of viral pathogenesis, chronicity, and impact on human health and society. 
The narrative of viral infections extends far beyond clinical manifestations; it encompasses complex immunological interactions, epidemiological patterns, and profound social dimensions that reshape individual lives and collective health systems. By examining the molecular mechanisms, transmission dynamics, clinical progression, and therapeutic approaches to these viral conditions, this book illuminates how these stealthy pathogens navigate human biology to establish persistent infections with far-reaching consequences. Readers will journey through the intricate biological landscapes where these viruses operate—from the immune devastation of HIV to the liver-centric pathology of hepatitis viruses and the neurotropic persistence of herpes viruses—while also exploring the broader contexts of stigma, public health challenges, and the remarkable scientific advances that have transformed many of these once-devastating diagnoses into manageable chronic conditions. Through evidence-based information, historical context, and forward-looking analysis, we seek to deepen understanding of these complex viral infections that continue to challenge medical science while profoundly affecting millions of lives globally.

Two Cats on the Camino -...

Pia Lamm

I'm sitting on the bus to León and the lady next to me is taking one candy after another to suck on while she's talking on the phone at the same time. If there was even the slightest chance that she could understand me, I would scream out loud: FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP THAT! Instead, I cover my ears and wait for the trip to be over. Of course, such hyperacusis can affect not only people with autism. However, it once again makes me aware of the challenges that neurodivergent people face when traveling. A day later, still in Spain, I grab my phone and start dictating this book to the voice recognition app. A book about how to cope on the Camino de Santiago as an autistic person.
