Sinopsis

Granite World Uses explores the journey of granite from its geological origins to its widespread applications in construction and architecture. The book examines quarrying techniques, highlighting the environmental and economic impacts of granite extraction, while also delving into granite's unique properties, such as its mineral composition and resistance to weathering. Did you know that granite's durability makes it ideal for monumental architecture, but its versatility also extends to industrial machinery and even decorative arts? The book argues that understanding granite's geological context, physical characteristics, and sustainable extraction methods is crucial for responsible resource management. It progresses logically, starting with granite's formation and global distribution, then moves into an analysis of its properties, and finally presents a comprehensive overview of its diverse uses. This approach bridges the gap between scientific understanding and practical application, making complex information accessible to a broad audience interested in earth science, architecture, and civil engineering. A key focus is on sustainable practices, which are essential considerations for granite's future utilization. By combining geological data, engineering specifications, and architectural case studies, Granite World Uses provides a holistic perspective, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and anyone involved in the stone industry.

The Inner Game of Music

The Inner Game of music is that which takes place in the mind, played against such elusive opponents as nervousness, self doubt, and fear of failure. Using the same principles of "natural learning" W. Timothy Gallwey developed so successfully for tennis, golf, and skiing and applying them to his own field, noted musician Barry Green shows how to acknowledge and overcome these internal obstacles in order to bring a new quality to the experience and learning of music. It is also ideal for those who don't play an instrument but who feel their appreciation of music will be enhanced if they understand more about the process of playing. 
 
 
 
In precise, easy to understand language, Green and Gallwey explain how natural skills can be nurtured and enhanced, and through a series of special exercises they demonstrate the ways in which musicians can achieve exact intonation, artistic phrasing, and improved technique. 
 
 
 
Ensemble playing, improvisation, composition and creativity, and listening skills are discussed throughout. 
 
 
 
A methodology with a proven track record, this will be invaluable to anyone seriously interested in music, professional or amateur, composer, performer, or an appreciative listener.

A short biography of the 20th U.S. President. Garfield was raised in humble circumstances on an Ohio farm by his widowed mother and elder brother. Before he was elected president in the Republican party he was first elected to Congress in 1862 as Representative of the 19th District of Ohio. Then to the Senate in 1880. His presidency lasted just 200 days-from March 4, 1881, until his death on September 19, 1881, as a result of being shot by assassin Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881.

Small Broke and Kind of Dirty - Affirmations for the Real World - cover

Small Broke and Kind of Dirty -...

Hana Shafi

Let's get one thing straight: Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty: Affirmations for the Real World is not a book of advice. You're not going to find a step-by-step guide to meditation here, or even reminders to drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Those things are all good for you, but that's not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about.
Instead, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty—built around art from Shafi's popular online affirmation series—focuses on our common and never-ending journey of self-discovery. It explores the ways in which the world can all too often wear us down, and reminds us to remember our worth, even when it's hard to do so. Drawing on her experience as a millennial woman of colour, and writing with humour and a healthy dose of irreverence, Shafi delves into body politics and pop culture, racism and feminism, friendship, and allyship. Through it all, she remains positive without being saccharine, and hopeful without being naive.
So no, this is not an advice book: it's a call to action, one that asks us to remember that we are valid as we are—flaws and all—and to not let the bastards grind us down.

George Michael's Faith

Matthew Horton

On Saturday, June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his tasseled leather jacket, walked out of London’s Wembley Stadium and cheerfully tore up five years of glittering pop history. He’d just disposed of Wham!, the band he’d formed with school friend Andrew Ridgeley when they were teenagers, and now, at 23, he knew he was all grown up. He just needed to convince everyone else. Faith is what happens when you’ve outstripped your dreams, your peers, your friends and your fans, and no one’s caught up yet. It’s about pouring all of that confusion, insecurity and sizzling ambition into music that comes out confused, insecure and ambitious – and then selling 25 million copies of it. George Michael was always preparing for this and, in the process, he set a template for all disaffected singers making that move. This book examines that model and the themes that went into Faith – from engaging in politics to crossing over to a Black audience and writing classic pop songs to endure – and speaks to the surviving key players to tell the story of how it was made.
