Sinopse

Rail Bridges explores the fascinating intersection of architecture and mechanical engineering in railway bridge design. It highlights how engineers ensure the safe passage of heavy trains through careful structural design, material selection, and accurate load analysis. Understanding the forces at play, from the train's weight to environmental factors, is vital. Did you know early railway bridges often failed due to a lack of understanding of dynamic loads and material properties? This book emphasizes a holistic approach, integrating load modeling, material choices, and structural design for safe and cost-effective bridges.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with fundamental principles and moving through load analysis, material properties (like steel and concrete), structural design methodologies, and construction techniques. Real-world case studies illustrate the application of these principles. It's a valuable resource for students, practicing engineers, and railway professionals alike, offering insights into both foundational knowledge and emerging trends in rail infrastructure.

Lightkeeper - A Memoir Through...

Stacy Waldman Bass

A luminous story of loss and resilience, Lightkeeper captures acclaimed photographer Stacy Bass's personal journey through grief—and the art of keeping her parents' legacy alive through memory and photography. 
 
 
 
In 1995, when a tragic seaplane accident on Block Island claimed her father's life, Bass's world shattered. She began to write as a way to process her excruciating grief, while gathering the pieces of his life through collected photographs. Some twenty-five years later, her mother was diagnosed with, and ultimately died from, pancreatic cancer after a one-year battle against that harrowing disease. During her mother's illness, Bass created a living tribute of images and words that built a community of support around her mother when she needed it most. 
 
 
 
By collecting and sharing photographs of her parents, Michael and Jessica Waldman, Bass recognized how photographs serve not merely as records but as powerful portals into memory—gateways to the stories that exist just outside the frame. Filled with stunning prose, this evocative memoir reveals how Bass became the "lightkeeper" of her family's legacy, preserving their stories for future generations. For anyone who has loved deeply and lost tragically, Lightkeeper offers both solace and inspiration—reminding us that the light of those who have been lost always endures.

Diabolical Motherhood

Danel Olson

A collection of essays by female horror writers exploring portrayals of diabolical mothers in both modern and classic horror films.The concept of motherhood, often idealized as the epitome of unconditional love and nurturing, has been twisted and perverted in various cinematic works to explore darker, more complex human dynamics. Led by Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson Award, and two-time World Fantasy Award winning editor and acclaimed film professor Danel Olson, the essayists introduce listeners to traditional portrayals of mothers in film and literature, establishing a baseline for understanding how diabolical motherhood deviates from the norm.From a historical overview tracing the evolution of malevolent maternal figures in cinema, from early depictions of wicked stepmothers in fairy tales to the complex, to multifaceted monstrous matriarchs of contemporary films, these essays explore the psychological underpinnings of diabolical motherhood, drawing on author's personal experiences, anecdotes, and research to understand the motivations and mental states driving these characters in a wide range of horror films. The essays offer a deeper understanding of how cinema reflects and shapes our perceptions of motherhood, morality, and power. A must-listen for horror aficionados.

The Way They Were - How Epic...

Robert Hofler

It's one of the greatest movie romances of all time. Yet the friction and controversy surrounding The Way We Were was so enormous, the movie was nearly never made at all. 
 
 
 
Screenwriter Arthur Laurents wrote the role of Katie with Barbra Streisand in mind. Casting Hubbell was another matter. Robert Redford, already a superstar, was reluctant to play what he perceived as the "Ken doll" to Streisand's lead, and demanded his role be changed and expanded. Laurents resisted, telling director Sydney Pollack, "You'll ruin the movie if it ends up being about two people. It's Katie's story, not Hubbell's." Despite his protests, ten writers were brought on to rework the script. 
 
 
 
Laurents's fears were well founded, and the first preview was disastrous. Producer Ray Stark and Pollack cut several scenes, upsetting Streisand and Laurents. Yet the edits worked. Such was the movie's success that Redford was open to making a sequel, though the script was never greenlit. 
 
 
 
Drawing on Laurents's and Pollack's unpublished writings, as well as interviews with Streisand, Redford, and other key players, this is the definitive account of a film that changed the rules of moviemaking and defined romance ever since.
