Sinopsis

Floating City Concepts explores the groundbreaking idea of water-based urban living as a response to climate change and overpopulation. The book examines the feasibility of floating cities, highlighting how these innovative structures could provide a sustainable solution to rising sea levels and land scarcity. It delves into the technological and engineering challenges of building stable, self-sufficient floating communities, while also considering the socio-economic factors that influence their adoption and governance. Readers will gain insights into how integrating cutting-edge marine engineering with comprehensive urban planning can create resilient urban environments. The book emphasizes the importance of environmental sustainability and social equity in floating city development. It showcases the potential of these cities to harmonize with aquatic environments, drawing on historical precedents of human settlements on water. Floating City Concepts progresses from an introduction to the core concept, through engineering and urban planning considerations, to practical applications across different geographical and socio-economic contexts. The evidence is based on a synthesis of academic research, engineering reports, and climate change models.

    How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it.
       
    Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between?
       
    A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form.
      
       
    Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination.
       
    ‘[Tannahill is] the poster child of a new generation of (theatre? film? dance?) artists for whom "interdisciplinary" is not a buzzword, but a way of life.’ —J. Kelly Nestruck, Globe and Mail
       
    ‘Jordan is one of the most talented and exciting playwrights in the country, and he will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.’ —Nicolas Billon, Governor General's Award–winning playwright (Fault Lines)

    45 French Closet Rules -...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Every woman who has ever stood in front of a full closet and felt she has nothing to wear already knows the problem is not the number of clothes. The problem is the relationship, the way a lifetime of purchases accumulates into a wardrobe that demands attention, storage, and decisions without ever giving back the confidence it promised. The Parisian closet solves this not by adding more and not by being ruthlessly minimalist. It solves it by applying a set of rules that decide everything in advance so that getting dressed stops being a negotiation with the hangers. 
     
    This book gives you those rules, 45 of them, drawn from the way French women actually build, edit, and live in their wardrobes, translated into a system you can install in your own closet. French women do not have a secret gene. They have a set of habits, and habits are learnable. The French closet works because it is built on restraint, quality, and fit, and none of those depends on being French or having a large budget. You will learn to edit your closet, choose pieces that flatter, and build a capsule wardrobe that creates more combinations with fewer clothes. 
     
    Inside, you'll discover: 
    • The Parisian mindset of buying less and buying better 
    • The 3-question toss that clears clutter without guilt 
    • How to check the shoulder line and hem for perfect fit 
    • The 5 neutral tones that build a coordinated wardrobe 
    • The hanger count and seasonal swap rules that keep your closet edited 
    • How to choose fabrics that last and read labels before price tags 
    • The 5-outfit system that ends the morning struggle 
     
    This book is for the woman who is worried that fewer clothes will mean a boring life.

    A stunning cultural biography of De La Soul, the era-defining hip-hop trio that touched millions of lives and changed rap forever. 
    De La Soul burst onto the scene with the release of their groundbreaking 1989 album 3 Feet High & Rising, an “anything goes” hip-hop masterpiece hailed as a new masterwork from a bygone era of Black experimentation. 
    Formed in Long Island in 1988 by Kelvin “Posdnuos” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo” Mason, De La Soul rebuked classification and appealed to the Black alternative. Their music was positive and psychedelic, their imagery full of flowers and peace signs. It was rap with a broad sonic palette which set the blueprint for an entire generation of artists who followed. But as quickly as De La ascended, they were faced with the pressures of a changing industry and bitter legal battles. 
    Completed in the wake of Dave’s passing and the group’s arrival on streaming platforms after years in digital purgatory, High and Rising tells the story of one of the most influential rap groups of all time. In the process, acclaimed music journalist Marcus J. Moore braids in a deeply personal coming-of-age story about his journey through life with De La as a backdrop. 
    The first book about De La Soul, High and Rising shows that De La Soul is Black history, American history, world history, our history. This is a tale about staying the course, and how holding true to your virtue can lead to dynamic results.
