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.

Heavyweight - Black Boxers and...

Jordana Moore Saggese

In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today. With a focus on both anonymous fighters and notorious champions, including Jack Johnson, Saggese contends that popular images of these men provided white spectators a way to render themselves experts on Blackness and Black masculinity. These images became the blueprint for white conceptions of the Black male body—existing between fear and fantasy, simultaneously an object of desire and an instrument of violence. Reframing boxing as yet another way whiteness establishes the violent mythology of its supremacy, Saggese highlights the role of imagery in normalizing a culture of anti-Blackness.

How To Write Photoplays

Embrie Zuver

Written during the formative years of motion pictures, How to Write Photoplays (Third Edition) by Embrie Zuver is a practical, no-nonsense guide to storytelling in the silent-film era—when images carried meaning, structure was everything, and writers learned to think in reels rather than words. 
Designed for aspiring photoplaywrights, this instructional manual walks listeners step by step through the complete process of creating a market-ready scenario. Zuver defines the technical language of early studios and cameras, then explains how to generate ideas, shape plots, control pacing, and build emotion without dialogue. Topics include scenario formatting, titles and synopses, character lists, scene construction, continuity, entrances and exits, subtitles and inserts, crisis-to-climax structure, revision practices, manuscript preparation, sales etiquette, censorship considerations, and the realities of the production pipeline. 
The book concludes with a full sample photoplay, Timid Teddy, illustrating every principle in action through a lighthearted romantic comedy of misunderstandings, social pressure, and earned affection—demonstrating how careful structure and visual storytelling could carry an audience to a satisfying conclusion. 
Clear, encouraging, and firmly grounded in professional practice, How to Write Photoplays offers a rare inside look at how films were written before sound—and remains a valuable study in visual storytelling, narrative discipline, and the foundations of screenwriting itself.
