Sinopsis

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 Often seen as permanent fixtures, skyscrapers are sometimes demolished due to factors like outdated infrastructure or shifting urban planning strategies.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.

Assembly Language - The Ultimate...

Jonathan Rigdon

Assembly language is often considered a bridge between high-level programming languages and machine code. Unlike high-level languages such as Python or C, which use human-readable syntax and abstract away many details of the underlying hardware, assembly language provides a more direct representation of the CPU's operations. 
  
Each assembly language instruction corresponds to a specific operation that the CPU can perform, such as loading data from memory, performing arithmetic calculations, or branching based on conditions. These instructions are typically represented using mnemonic codes, which are easier for humans to understand compared to the binary machine code instructions that the CPU actually executes. 
  
One of the key benefits of programming in assembly language is the level of control it provides over hardware resources. Because assembly language instructions map closely to CPU operations, programmers can fine-tune their code to optimize performance or interact directly with hardware peripherals.

Climate Hope - Stories of Action...

David Geselbracht

Climate change is a problem so enormous and complex—with threats so frightening in their implications—that many of us fend off confusion and hopelessness by simply turning away. Meanwhile, with delayed action, missed targets, and increasingly dire reports at the international level, a notion that the crisis is intractable continues to spread. And the proposed solutions can be just as daunting. They often involve jargon about gigatons of carbon and kilowatt-hours of electricity. In a deeply polarized political environment, any sense of the common purpose required to make these work seems to dissolve into denial or paralysis. With all this fear and conflict, the question must be asked: How do we find the tools and the hope we need to tackle such a wickedly difficult issue? 
 
 
 
In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

Quantum Physics and the Higher...

Anónimo

What if consciousness is not created by the brain, but the field from which all reality emerges?
What if observation itself shapes the world you experience, collapsing infinite potential into form?
What if the discoveries of quantum physics are not new at all—but a scientific echo of ancient esoteric knowledge?
With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science.
Inside this book you will learn:
• How the “observer effect” mirrors self-remembering — and why awareness itself is the true creative act.
• Why the zero-point field is the physical counterpart of meditation — where stillness and infinite energy coexist.
• How consciousness behaves as the fifth state of matter, beyond solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
• Why emotional energy is alchemical fuel — and how conscious suffering converts vibration into light.
• Why synchronicity is not coincidence but feedback from a conscious universe responding to alignment.
• How Gurdjieff’s “inner laboratory” parallels modern physics in transforming energy through attention.
• What quantum entanglement reveals about shared awareness and the unity of all beings.
• How time, memory, and recurrence operate like quantum loops, echoing the eternal return.
• Why awakening is a negentropic process — the reorganization of energy through understanding.
