Summary

Skyscraper Demolitions examines the reasons, techniques, and environmental impacts associated with removing these monumental structures from our urban landscapes. Often seen as permanent fixtures, skyscrapers are sometimes demolished due to factors like outdated infrastructure or shifting urban planning strategies. The book explores how demolition has evolved from the wrecking ball to sophisticated controlled implosion methods. 

 
A key insight is the increasing emphasis on "green demolition," focusing on waste management and resource recovery to minimize environmental impact. For instance, skyscrapers can be deconstructed to reclaim valuable building materials, such as steel and concrete, which can then be reused in new construction projects. 

 
The book progresses from the rationale behind demolition to the techniques employed, the environmental consequences, and case studies, concluding with a look at the future of sustainable practices in the field. This book is unique in its integrated approach, combining technological advancements with environmental and economic considerations. By reframing demolition as a strategic component of urban renewal, Skyscraper Demolitions offers a comprehensive understanding of skyscraper removal for professionals and anyone interested in the built environment.

    A story of love, marriage, and flowers from beloved writer and gardening enthusiast Alysia Li Ying Sawchyn Six months before her wedding, Alysia Li Ying Sawchyn’s fiancé broke off their engagement. Stunned, reeling, and newly uninsured, Alysia married her friend Sarah in an arrangement that secured them both free health insurance. They moved in together in the midst of the pandemic, and with time and while tending a garden, their marriage of convenience grew into a marriage of love.  In science, art, and mythology, we cannot help but to see flowers as metaphors for the fleeting nature of youth, vitality, and love. It’s easy to casually admire something beautiful, but it takes a discerning eye to appreciate the effort that went into nourishing and tending to that beauty. In both gardening and relationships, one cannot expect to fill your garden with flowers if you are unwilling—or unable—to put in the work they need to thrive. In I Have This Thing For Flowers, Sawchyn does just that, likening the many flowers she has grown in her gardens to a range of relationships and moments of her life, reflecting on topics from motherhood to perfumery to scientific illustration. Cataloguing many of the great romances and loves of her life like an herbarium of flowers preserved from the garden, Sawchyn examines the kinds of love that can't be explained.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

    Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
 
 
  
But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
 
 
  
Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.
