  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Jeff VanderMeer's "Authority," the second book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, follows Control as he takes over the leadership of the Southern Reach agency, which is dedicated to understanding and containing the mysterious Area X. The story focuses on Control's attempts to navigate the complex dynamics of the agency, while dealing with unreliable data and the strange behaviors of its staff. He struggles to decipher the truth behind the expeditions into Area X, particularly the events surrounding the missing director and the twelfth expedition's returnees. The book explores themes of identity, manipulation, and the limits of human perception in the face of the unknown, with elements of science fiction, mystery, and psychological thriller. As Control investigates, he finds himself questioning his own reality, the nature of Area X, and the very purpose of the agency.

  Blue Architecture - Water Design...

  2023 PROSE Award in Architecture and Urban Planning 
   
   
   
  Le Corbusier famously said, "A house is a machine for living in." We now confront the litany of environmental challenges associated with the legacy of the architectural machine: a changing climate, massive species die-off, diminished air and water quality, and resource scarcities. Brook Muller offers an alternative: water-centric urban design that fosters sustainability, equity, and architectural creativity. 
   
   
   
  Inspired by the vernacular, such as the levadas of Madeira Island and both the arid and drenched places of the American West, Muller articulates a "hydro-logical" philosophy in which architects and planners begin by conceptualizing interactions between existing waterways and the spaces they intend to develop. From these interactions—and the new technologies and approaches enabling them—aesthetic, spatial, and experiential opportunities follow. Not content merely to work around sensitive ecology, Muller argues for genuinely climate-adapted urban landscapes in which buildings act as ecological infrastructure that actually improve watersheds while delivering functionality and beauty for diverse communities. Rich in practical examples, Blue Architecture will change the way we think about our designed world.

  THE LEGEND OF ZELDA 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Legend of Zelda is a Japanese action-adventure video game series created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. It centers on Link, a courageous young man, and Princess Zelda, as they fight to save Hyrule from Ganon, who seeks the Triforce, a powerful relic. Gameplay combines puzzles, exploration, and combat. The series is known for its nonlinear gameplay, varied environments, and dungeons with unique items. The series has expanded to 21 entries and includes spin-offs, manga, and an animated TV series. It has received acclaim for its innovative gameplay and memorable characters. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Legend of Zelda series was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, who were inspired by the hills, forests, and caves of Miyamoto’s childhood home in Japan, as well as fantasy books like The Lord of the Rings. Miyamoto wanted to create a "miniature garden" for players to explore in each game, while Tezuka aimed for a fairytale adventure. 
    
  The series centers on the battle to save Hyrule from Ganon, with the main characters being Link, a courageous Hylian, and Princess Zelda, who is a descendant of the goddess Hylia. Link and Zelda have varied personalities and backstories throughout the games, but often have common traits. 
    
  The Triforce is a sacred relic left behind by three goddesses, representing Power, Courage, and Wisdom and will grant a wish indiscriminately. If someone with an unbalanced heart attempts to touch the Triforce, it will split into three triangles and bond with three people that represent the corresponding virtue.

  We broke our new series on learning German down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise German. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to. 
  In Unit 1 you will hear German decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native German speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand German. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in German at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken German, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
