Sinopse

Prehistoric Bridge Builders explores the remarkable engineering feats of early civilizations who constructed bridges using only natural materials. Challenging conventional views of technological advancement, the book reveals how indigenous cultures worldwide demonstrated a profound understanding of structural principles, social needs, and environmental forces. For example, some societies expertly felled and transported massive timbers for wooden bridges without metal tools, while others crafted enduring stone bridges using only human power. This book emphasizes the ingenuity and resourcefulness of these non-Western societies.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an overview of fundamental bridge construction principles and materials. It then examines wooden bridges, stone bridges, and those made from vines and ropes, offering detailed case studies from different regions. Through archaeological findings, ethnographic studies, and historical accounts, Prehistoric Bridge Builders highlights the sustainable construction practices and adaptive capacity of these early bridge builders, offering valuable lessons for contemporary challenges in architecture and environmental studies.

An inspirational book club read of one woman’s journey of taking the bold step to leave her disabled—and volatile—spouse and moving across the country in search of adventure, tango, and love. 
At the tender age of twenty, Jenn faces a pivotal moment when her boyfriend, Morey, proposes marriage after only a few weeks of dating. Her intuition urges her to say no, but she’s spent the entirety of her teenage years caregiving for family; she yearns for adventure, and she thinks relocating to California with Morey will give her the freedom she craves. So she says yes—only to find herself back in the caregiver role after he becomes disabled a few years into their marriage. But it’s Morey’s volatile personality that ultimately leads Jenn to make a brave decision: it’s time to leave. 
Dancing on My Own Two Feet takes a poignant turn as Jenn relocates to New York City after her divorce. Here, she rediscovers a long-forgotten passion for dance and embarks on a transformative journey that transcends the physicality of movement. Each dance becomes a channel to tap into her inner wisdom, providing the courage to explore the world and embrace new adventures. Then Jenn encounters Gable, a potential suitor, prompting new questions to arise for her: Is she better off on her own? Or could Gable be the love and dance partner she’s been longing for?

In freewheeling 1920s Paris, Kiki de Montparnasse captivated as a nightclub performer, sold out gallery showings of her paintings, starred in Surrealist films, and shared drinks and ideas with the likes of Jean Cocteau and Marcel Duchamp. Her best-selling memoir—featuring an introduction by Ernest Hemingway—made front-page news in France and was immediately banned in America. All before she turned thirty. 
 
 
 
Kiki was once the symbol of bohemian Paris. But if she is remembered today, it is only for posing for several now-celebrated male artists, including Amedeo Modigliani and Alexander Calder, and especially photographer Man Ray. 
 
 
 
Kiki and Man Ray met in 1921 during a chance encounter at a café. What followed was an explosive decade-long connection, both professional and romantic, during which the couple grew and experimented as artists, competed for fame, and created many of the shocking images that cemented Man Ray's reputation as one of the great artists of the modern era. 
 
 
 
Charting their volatile relationship, award-winning historian Mark Braude illuminates for the first time Kiki's seminal influence not only on Man Ray's art, but on the culture of 1920s Paris and beyond.

FORREST GUMP 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ROBERT ZEMECKIS 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Forrest Gump is a heartwarming drama about a kind-hearted man from Alabama with a low IQ who inadvertently influences several major historical events in the 20th century. The film follows Forrest’s extraordinary life, from his childhood with a loving mother to his experiences as a college football star, soldier in Vietnam, ping-pong champion, and shrimp boat captain. The film explores themes of destiny, love, perseverance, and the unpredictability of life, while highlighting the impact of historical events. Told from Forrest’s unique perspective, it combines humor, drama, and emotional depth, reflecting the power of human resilience and simplicity. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Tom Hanks was not paid for this film. Instead, he took percentage points, which ultimately netted him around $40 million.” 
  
“The line, "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump," was ad-libbed by Tom Hanks during filming. Director Robert Zemeckis liked it so much that he decided to keep it in.” 
  
“With every transition of Forrest's age, one thing remains the same: in the first scene of each transition, he wears a blue plaid shirt.” 
  
“Tom Hanks' younger brother, Jim Hanks, doubled for him during many of his numerous running sequences.” 
  
“The necklace worn by Lieutenant Dan is a rosary with a Saint Christopher medal, inscribed "Protect Us In Combat." It was worn in Vietnam by Gary Sinise's brother-in-law, Jack Treese, in 1967-68.”
