Sinopsis

"Floating Bridges" explores the innovative engineering behind these structures, examining how they support traffic while accommodating marine vessels. These bridges offer solutions for crossing wide bodies of water where traditional bridges are impractical. The book dives into the structural engineering principles and operational mechanisms that make these adaptable structures possible, highlighting their cost-effectiveness and environmental sensitivity.

 
Did you know that floating bridges can be designed to part like the Red Sea, allowing ships to pass? Or that these bridges represent a balance between terrestrial and marine transportation demands?

 
Beginning with a historical overview of pontoon bridges, the book progresses into the core principles of buoyancy, stability, and load distribution. It then analyzes various design approaches, including anchored floating bridges and submerged floating tunnels. A key focus is placed on the operational aspects, detailing the mechanisms for ship passage and safety protocols. The book concludes with case studies of existing floating bridges around the world, examining their design challenges and long-term performance.

 
A unique aspect of "Floating Bridges" is its focus on sustainable design, exploring environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient systems. The book presents complex engineering concepts in an accessible manner, making it valuable for civil engineers, architects, and anyone interested in innovative infrastructure solutions. It emphasizes the integration of these bridges into sustainable design practices.

    “An affectionate portrait, one that recognizes Watts as musician, colleague, family man, obsessive collector and immaculate dresser.”—Sunday Times 
    “Sexton, a longtime Stones chronicler, tells Watts’s story with warmth and diligence.”—Observer 
    The fully authorized and official biography of legendary Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, one of the world’s most revered and celebrated musicians of the last half century. 
    Forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards 
    Charlie Watts was one of the most decorated musicians in the world, having joined the Rolling Stones, a few months after their formation, early in 1963. 
    A student of jazz drumming, he was headhunted by the band after bumping into them regularly in London’s rhythm and blues clubs. Once installed at the drum seat, he didn’t miss a gig, album or tour in his 60 years in the band. He was there throughout the swinging sixties, the early shot at superstardom and the Stones' world conquest; and throughout the debauchery of the 1970s, typified by 1972's Exile on Main St., considered one of the great albums of the century. By the 1980s, Charlie was battling his own demons, but emerged unscathed to enhance his unparalleled reputation even further over the ensuing decades. 
    Watts went through band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel, managers, guitarists and rhythm sections, but remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones for nearly 60 years—the thoughtful, intellectual but no less compelling counterpoint to the raucousness of his bandmates Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood. And this is his story.

    A sharp, thoughtful and ultimately hopeful look at the past, present and future of the music industry from one of the people who helped shape it. 
    Kev Nixon, musician, songwriter, producer, artist manager, music educator and writer charts the unprecedented fall of British music’s global dominance with unflinching honesty, deep affection and biting wit.  Drawing on five decades in the business, Nixon reveals how the UK’s once world-leading musical culture has suffered from an obsession with technology, addiction to nostalgia and has become increasingly disconnected from artistic substance. 
    What began as a phrase coined while observing music students making overly-polished recordings using GarageBand, Nixon evolved “brilliant sounding rubbish” into a damning metaphor for an entire industry. Part memoir, part manifesto, and part behind-the-scenes exposé, the book journeys from Nixon’s childhood musical awakenings in 1960s Yorkshire to the chaos of modern streaming culture, tracing the roots of the crisis in everything from the collapse of artist development, to the rise of corporate ownership, and the devaluation of true music education. 
    Nixon details class prejudice in genre and music industry hierarchies, the myth of the self-made artist and the digital structures that control what the world hears and what it doesn’t.  Through personal stories, case studies and bold provocations, Brilliant Sounding Rubbish offers a clear-eyed vision for rebuilding an industry with heart, integrity and risk at its core while returning to the musical standards that put British music into world domination.  Nixon believes there’s still time to turn things around. If we bring back risk, nurture real talent and cease allowing technology to dominate creativity, the music business might just get its soul back. The future, he says, could have brilliant sounding substance – this time for all the right reasons.

    Black artisans have long been central to American art and design, creating innovative and highly desired work against immense odds. Atlanta-based chairmaker and scholar Robell Awake explores the stories behind ten cornerstones of Black craft, including: 
     
     
     
    ● The celebrated wooden chairs of Richard Poynor, an enslaved craftsman who began a dynasty of Tennessee chairmakers. 
     
     
     
    ● The elegant wrought-iron gates of Philip Simmons, seen to this day throughout Charleston, South Carolina, whose work features motifs from the Low Country. 
     
     
     
    ● The inventive assemblage art and yard shows of Joe Minter, James Hampton, Bessie Harvey, and others, who draw on African spiritual traditions to create large-scale improvisational art installations. 
     
     
     
    From the enslaved potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, to Ann Lowe, the couture dressmaker who made Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress, to Gullah Geechee sweetgrass basket makers, to the celebrated quilters of Gee's Bend, A Short History of Black Craft in Ten Objects illuminates the work of generations of Black craftspeople, foregrounding their enduring contributions to American craft.
