Beschreibung

Tunnels Under Cities explores the fascinating world beneath our feet, revealing how urban tunnels have shaped cities throughout history. This book examines the evolution of these underground networks, from ancient aqueducts providing essential water to the modern subway systems that facilitate daily commutes. Discover how something as seemingly simple as a tunnel has influenced urban growth, impacted public health, and even played a role in political power dynamics.

 
The book delves into the core themes of tunnel construction, functional diversity, and socio-political implications, presenting a holistic view of these subterranean spaces. It explores how tunnel engineering has progressed over time, analyzing the diverse applications of tunnels from transportation to utility systems and specialized uses. By integrating technical details with socio-historical analyses, Tunnels Under Cities offers a unique perspective on the complex interplay between engineering innovation and urban development.

 
Structured into three major sections, the book first introduces the principles of tunnel engineering and its historical progression. It then analyzes the various applications of tunnels in urban environments through case studies. Finally, it explores the broader socio-political implications of tunnels, including their role in urban planning and emergency preparedness. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of how tunnels have become integral, though often unseen, components of urban life.

    A gorgeously illustrated and interactive full-color guide to more than 181 birds of North America, featuring recorded vocalizations of each, based on the bestselling board game, Wingspan. 
     
    Praised for its gorgeous illustrations, accurate portrayal of bird habitats, and its gameplay, the bird-focused board game Wingspan has become an international sensation, available in a dozen languages and selling more than 200,000 copies its first year. Celebrating Birds is the ultimate companion to the game for fans, as well as a beautiful and in-depth field guide for avian and nature enthusiasts. 
    In addition to large-size representations of each bird and the most up-to-date bird descriptions provided by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Celebrating Birds includes a step-by-step guide that can be used to take the game into the real world. Players can collect points based on the birds, nests, and various habitat and feeding clues they find outside. 
    Artists and best friends Natalia Rojas and Ana Maria Martinez collaborated to create the beautiful depictions featured in the original Wingspan board game. Celebrating Birds features larger illustrations of the 170 North American birds from the game, plus eleven exciting new birds. 
    With Celebrating Birds, players and amateur naturalists can discover details about many of the birds currently at risk for extinction. As the number of birds in the United States and Canada has declined precipitously, Celebrating Birds is a fun way to raise awareness, educate, encourage activism, and provide resources on some of the most important ecological issues facing us today.

    'The future of theatre will belong to the maverick minds who possess the skills to mix things up and who have enough tools in their box to trick the game.'
    This is a practical, grassroots, self-empowerment book for theatremakers. It's for anybody who wants to make live theatre, whether you're an actor, a director, a producer, a designer or a writer. Whether you're all of these, or none of them. Categories don't matter. What matters is making your show, and putting it in front of an audience.
    This book is not a method, nor a practice. It's an accessible toolbox of reflections and provocations designed to help you – an independent-minded, career-driven, professional theatremaker – along the path towards achieving your dreams.
    Inside, Russell Lucas shares his decades of experience in independent theatremaking, covering aspects including:
    
    - Generating and developing ideas
    - Working with other creatives
    - Promoting your show and selling tickets
    - Understanding the power of the audience
    - Making ends meet and sustaining your career
    He tackles abstract problems, dissects the practical ones, and debunks plenty of myths along the way. Inspiring and unconventional, but always grounded in sound, real-world sense, 300 Thoughts for Theatremakers is a book for anyone who's passionate about a life in theatre, and wants to make that a reality.
    'Thank God for this book. It will surely be a comfort and support to all those who follow in Russell Lucas's independent and determined footsteps' Alan Lane, Artistic Director of Slung Low, from his Foreword
