The book examines stone's aesthetic reinvention in modern architecture, its conceptual exploration in art, and its high-tech applications.

    Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
     
     
     
    In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
     
     
     
    From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
     
     
     
    ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
     
     
     
    ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
     
     
     
    ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
     
     
     
    This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.

    Supraconscious - The Genius...

    This book is the core textbook of a quantum science of acting on stage and in life. At a time when the arts and sciences converge more than ever, Perceptual Acting and Directing theory and method (PAD) speaks about a contemporary, tangible metaphysics, fusing theories of quantum physics with mindfulness and the famous Method of the Actors' Studio, in a new harmony. Konstantin Stanislavski had said that the actor of the future, a new actor in the new life, is the one for whom art springs from spiritual intuition. He used the word Supraconscious, indicating to the actor the levels of consciousness he needed to attain. He considered the art of theater as the spiritual path to wholeness. PAD is the new system of translating and decoding, frame by frame, the experience, bringing us in touch with the higher self, by reference to Nietzsche's superhuman and the transcendental Kazantzakis, creating a new transitional space where everything is in motion and evolves in the face of inertia, continuously actualizing that Alma-Quantum Leap of being.
