Sinopse

Description of a Plan for the Improvement of the Central Park offers an insightful exploration into the visionary principles that revolutionized urban landscapes in the nineteenth century. The anthology features a comprehensive plan that became a cornerstone of public park design, representing a harmonious blend of nature and urbanity. As readers traverse through meticulously detailed illustrations and descriptions, they witness the interplay of natural beauty and engineered spaces that have defined not only Central Park but also modern landscape architecture. The collection's cohesion lies in its seamless weaving of aesthetic aspirations with social needs, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the essence of public park planning. The contributions of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux anchor the collection, making them pivotal figures in the architectural and cultural discourse of their era. Their collaboration brought forth a transformative movement towards integrating nature within urban settings, reflecting the broader societal shifts toward health, recreation, and democratic spaces. Their backgrounds, deeply rooted in artistic ambition and social consciousness, translate into a planning philosophy that intertwines with the Romantic and Public Health movements of the time. This anthology brings together diverse ideologies and methodologies that enriched landscape architecture and urban planning. Readers are invited to immerse themselves in a compendium that encapsulates a pivotal moment in urban design history. "Description of a Plan for the Improvement of the Central Park" not only elucidates the profound influence of Olmsted and Vaux but also challenges contemporary readers to reflect on the interplay between urban life and nature. This anthology promises educational enrichment, offering perspectives that are as varied as they are unifying, making it indispensable for anyone passionate about the evolution of public spaces.

SECOND EDITION: UPDATED AND EXPANDED 
The Practical Patent Guide 
Patents don’t have to be a dry and boring subject, and inventors, investors, and business people may (and should) enjoy using them to their advantage. However, to empower the general public to use the patent system to its fullest extent, the need remains for a book that introduces important patent concepts in a humanly understandable fashion, with down-to-earth, practical advice and, more importantly, which is not boring, as many patent books unavoidably are to readers who are not patent practitioners. Kfir Luzzatto, a seasoned patent attorney as well as a fiction writer, has dealt with inventors and entrepreneurs for longer than he cares to admit and has assisted both start-ups and multinational companies with their patent needs, literally all over the world. He now exploits the vast experience that he has acquired working in the Start-Up Nation (Israel), to introduce the reader to important patent concepts, in a fresh and easily understandable manner, with down-to-earth practical advice that is invaluable for investors, entrepreneurs, and inventors alike.

IT'S TIME FOR AN ECONOMIC EVOLUTION. 
The evidence is all around us: Humans are squandering natural resources and destroying the environment. There is no real debate about climate change. And with an ever-widening wealth gap, inequality is destabilizing many regions and worsening famine, disease, and civil unrest. 
We must change, fast - and yet we hesitate. 
Moneyless Society: The Next Economic Evolution explores how capitalism throttles Earth's capacity to sustain life and undermines our deep longing to live in peace and prosperity. Fortunately, it also provides a blueprint to innovative thinking and new structures to replace our outmoded monetary system. In short, Moneyless Society illuminates just how much our lives and those of future generations could improve with a new kind of freedom: freedom from money. 
We are at a crossroads: we can choose abundance, community, and prosperity, or we can continue down the path toward collapse. The choice is ours.
