Sinopse

Green Skyscrapers addresses the urgent need for eco-friendly architecture by examining how high-rise buildings can evolve from environmental burdens into sustainable solutions. It highlights innovative approaches like integrating renewable energy systems, such as solar power and wind energy, and incorporating vertical forests to improve air quality and biodiversity. The book emphasizes that sustainable design isn't just an add-on but a fundamental element in creating sustainable urban environments. It also explores the potential of passive design strategies to minimize resource consumption.

 
The book progresses methodically, first establishing the environmental consequences of conventional skyscraper design. It then introduces core concepts like energy-efficient building envelopes and water conservation systems. Finally, it delves into renewable energy integration and the ecological benefits of vertical forests, presenting case studies of pioneering green skyscrapers worldwide.

 
By showcasing practical examples and architectural plans, Green Skyscrapers offers a data-driven approach to demonstrating the real-world viability of sustainable architecture and its role in climate change mitigation and urban sustainability.

    Buried beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt lies a secret history far darker than the pyramids, pharaohs, and golden treasures we think we know… 
    For centuries, whispers of a forbidden ritual have haunted archaeologists and historians, a chilling practice woven into the rise and fall of Egypt’s most powerful rulers. In The Pharaoh’s Kill List: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Tradition of Human Sacrifice, bestselling researcher Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on a world where divine kingship demanded blood, loyalty was enforced through death, and every royal tomb carried secrets meant to stay hidden forever. 
    What Truman uncovers is not the Egypt of school textbooks. This is the Egypt of ritual executions, buried servants, silenced enemies, and elite corpses chosen to accompany the pharaoh into the afterlife. Through newly analyzed evidence, forgotten stelae, and translations of long-overlooked texts, this book dives deep into: 
    •	The origins of human sacrifice in early dynastic Egypt—and why it suddenly disappeared 
    •	Shocking archaeological finds that reveal entire retinues killed to serve their king beyond death 
    •	The political assassinations buried behind royal propaganda 
    •	The Pharaohs who expanded, concealed, or weaponized sacrificial rituals 
    •	How religion, fear, and absolute power shaped one of the most secretive traditions in the ancient world 
    Perfect for fans of ancient history, true crime, Egyptology, anthropology, and dark historical mysteries, this book delivers a gripping blend of scholarship and narrative storytelling. Every chapter pulls you deeper into the ritual logic of a civilization where gods walked among men—and where appeasing them required unthinkable acts. 
    If you believe you already know Ancient Egypt…Prepare to be proven wrong. 
    Enter the tomb. Face the truth. Discover what—and who—the Pharaohs were willing to sacrifice.

    The first monograph on writer, journalist, and director Nora Ephron, the visionary behind When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail 
     
    Nora Ephron at the Movies offers an unfiltered look at Ephron as a champion of the rom-com and as a feminist Hollywood trailblazer. It explores her life and work by pairing detailed criticism with exclusive interviews with Ephron’s key collaborators, including Andie MacDowell and Jenn Kaytin Robinson, to add color and nuance to her life and legacy. 
     
    With her singular voice, Nora Ephron flourished as a dominant force in the entertainment industry, focusing on the idiosyncrasies of romance that were universally relatable. 
     
    The women in her stories paralleled reality—the veil was lifted, the glossy sheen removed.  
     
    Her protagonists share an unwavering sense of humor about life’s mishaps, and they never take themselves too seriously—like Julie trying to master the art of cooking lobsters in Julie & Julia, Sally’s theatrical fake orgasm in Katz’s deli in When Harry Met Sally, or Rachel perfecting a key lime pie only to throw it in her cheating husband’s face in Heartburn. 
     
    Through her keenly self-aware humor and semi-autobiographical stories, Ephron left behind a groundbreaking legacy as a beloved journalist, essayist, screenwriter, author, producer, director, and feminist who delivered stories of resilience embedded in sharp wit and upper-crust landscapes. Through that lens, she became emblematic of rom-coms, shifting and redefining conversations around the complexities of relationships and the women who have them.

    After an unparalleled string of artistic and commercial triumphs in the 1950s and 1960s, Alfred Hitchcock hit a career lull with the disappointing Torn Curtain and the disastrous Topaz. In 1971, the depressed director traveled to London, the city he had left in 1939 to make his reputation in Hollywood. The film he came to shoot there would mark a return to the style for which he had become known and would restore him to international acclaim.  Like The 39 Steps, Saboteur, and North by Northwest before, Frenzy repeated the classic Hitchcock trope of a man on the run from the police while chasing down the real criminal. But unlike those previous works, Frenzy also featured some elements that were new to the master of suspense’s films, including explicit nudity, depraved behavior, and a brutal act that would challenge Psycho’s shower scene for the most disturbing depiction of violence in a Hitchcock film.  In Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy: The Last Masterpiece, Raymond Foery recounts the history—writing, preprod
