Sinopse

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.

  • Fifth Crusade The: The History of the Christian Campaign to Retake Jerusalem - cover

    Fifth Crusade The: The History...

    In the 50 years following the First Crusade, the Latin states in the East were consolidated, but there were also growing tensions and new challenges. Against this backdrop, the fall of the County of Edessa in December 1144 at the hands of Zengi, the atabeg of Aleppo and Mosul, was a catastrophic event. Founded in 1098 by the future King Baldwin of Boulogne, Edessa was the first Crusader state, as well as the northernmost, weakest, and least populated. It was constantly exposed to Muslim attacks, and news of its fall reached Europe at the beginning of 1145, and the fall was the catalyst for the Second Crusade. Furthermore, the Crusader States were also concerned about their relationship with the Byzantine Empire, as relations with the Byzantines were often tense. Indeed, efforts to strengthen and then retake parts of the collapsing Crusader States would fuel subsequent Crusades, and the Fourth Crusade notoriously ended with the Crusaders sacking Constantinople instead of proceeding to Jerusalem.  
    	Naturally, the Fifth Crusade was launched as a result of the Fourth Crusade’s failure to retake Jerusalem, and Pope Innocent III’s goal of reclaiming Jerusalem, which had been lost in 1187, remained unchanged.[1] At the same time, there was a truce between the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Ayyubid Sultan al-‘Adil I, which was due to expire in 1217. The timing seemed favorable for a new initiative, particularly given the strengthening of Christendom in other regions such as Spain, where the victory at Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212 had secured much of the Iberian Peninsula against the Moors. The turning point for the proclamation of the Fifth Crusade was the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, where Innocent III established a model for future Crusades, providing the enterprise with consistent legal, liturgical, and fiscal provisions.

    "The kingdom of heaven is like electricity. You don't see it. It is within you."
    
    Veda Vyasa, Valmiki, Patanjali, and Ramana had one thing in common. Other than the fact that they were learned men from India, the other thing that bound them all was the word 'Maharishi'. Maharishi, a title bestowed upon by some of the greatest sages from ancient India, was also given to one more learned but more contemporary of Indian sages. It was a tiny little man who took the west by storm and impressed them enough to have influenced and inspired many, one group being none other than the great English band of the 60s—The Beatles. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, not only gained fame as a guru of many celebrities and well-known personalities, he single-handedly made such a deep impact with the west that if yoga and meditation have been trending there for some time, one can easily say that it all started with this one man.

    You hear them first, the whop whop sound of rotor blades chopping through the humid Vietnam air. Suddenly they appear, screaming toward the landing zone at treetop level. Gunships launch rockets into the nearby tree line. The resulting explosions announce the arrival of the lift helicopters, pointing their noses skyward like falcons coming out of a dive for landing. Bullets rip into the thin aluminum skin and plastic that surrounds the men who fly these machines. When one pilot is hit, the other takes the controls and carries on. When one helicopter crashes in flames, the pilots in the others maintain formation and push ahead. Nothing deters these warriors, volunteers all, from flying on with the tenaciousness of zealots. 
     
     
     
    Who are these men? Where did they come from? Where have they gone? 
     
     
     
    Mended Wings is their story. Follow the lives of ten Purple Heart heroes as they relate the Vietnam War experience from the perspective of the helicopter cockpit. Get to know the generation of men who fought with pride, determination, skill, and courage only to be shunned when they brought their battered bodies and haunting memories home. Their fathers and uncles were heralded as the "greatest generation." Meet the forgotten generation. Meet the men whose stories did not end as a name on a black wall in Washington D.C. Meet the survivors.

    This is volume 4 chapter 21 of a series of books written by the Baron Macaulay (1800-1859) in the 19th century. It starts with a brief resume of the history of England up until the Stuart kings and then starts to delve into a little more detail. Macaulay is primarily fascinated by ending of any claim to divine right of kings and the growing role of Parliament in the governing of the country. He sees the accession of William and Mary (Dutch, Protestant royalty) to the British throne as a key moment in the history of the British Isles. This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 19th century English and world politics.(Jim Mowatt)

    Not even old enough to drink, Corporal Savannah Cannon is a young enlisted United States Marine deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2010. As a tactical data networking specialist, she is sent away from everyone she knows and attached to a Regimental Combat Team where women are not allowed to repair communications. Her experiences over the next few months shed light on the unique and difficult positions women are placed in when supporting combat roles, while offering a raw look at the painful choices women must sometimes make. 
     
     
     
    Cannon finds herself in a combat zone, ostracized from family, friends, and even her fellow Marines as the men are told to avoid her. The connections she makes are born from trauma and desperation and the choices she makes will echo throughout many lives. 
     
     
     
    Corporal Cannon is not the story of a heroine; it is the hard-hitting account of just one of the flawed individuals who make up the United States' fighting forces. Mistakes in the battlefield can have dire consequences, personally and professionally. Reflecting on her time in service, the author weaves a story of past and present, and the healing that can come with admitting our mistakes and moving past them.
