Sinopse

"Hidden City Secrets" explores the captivating world beneath our feet, revealing the hidden tunnels, forgotten subway stations, and concealed spaces that exist just beneath the surface of iconic cities. This journey into subterranean exploration unearths the historical, architectural, and social narratives etched into these urban undergrounds. Learn about the evolution of infrastructure networks, from ancient aqueducts to Cold War bomb shelters, and discover how these spaces reflect the changing needs and priorities of city dwellers. The book presents a unique and tangible connection to urban history, offering insights into the ingenuity, aspirations, and fears of past generations.

 
Structured in three parts, "Hidden City Secrets" first introduces the concept of the "hidden city," then delves into specific types of hidden spaces like abandoned transportation systems and shelter spaces, using case studies from cities worldwide. Finally, it examines the modern-day relevance of these hidden spaces, exploring preservation efforts and their impact on urban planning.

    Sui Dynasty - Reunification and...

    The period before the rise of the Sui Dynasty was marked by fragmentation and instability, as China remained divided between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This era, which lasted from the late 4th century to the late 6th century, was characterized by constant warfare, shifting alliances, and a deep cultural divide between the north and south. The fall of this system set the stage for the reunification of China under the Sui Dynasty. 
    The north was ruled by a succession of non-Han Chinese states, often founded by nomadic groups that had migrated into China during the decline of the Western Jin Dynasty. The Northern Wei, established by the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei people, was the most powerful of these states. Over time, the rulers of the Northern Wei adopted Chinese customs, Confucian governance, and Buddhism, which helped stabilize their rule. However, internal struggles, court intrigue, and opposition from powerful aristocratic families led to the dynasty’s division into the Eastern and Western Wei, eventually giving rise to the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties. 
    In contrast, the Southern Dynasties were ruled by Han Chinese elites who maintained a more traditional Chinese way of life. The Eastern Jin, followed by the Liu Song, Southern Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, governed the southern regions, centered around the lower Yangtze River. These dynasties often suffered from weak central control, as powerful noble families exerted significant influence over the government. While the south was culturally rich and economically prosperous, political instability and frequent coups weakened its ability to resist northern invasions.

    The modern racing yacht is awash with onboard instruments and electronics giving enormous amounts of data. But few people fully understand how to get the most out of all the information at their fingertips, let alone make it useful for the team to enable them to win races.

In Mastering Data to Win they take the reader through the process: from understanding the concepts, ensuring accuracy, using the data to win races and then post-race analysis to find performance gains. By mastering your instruments you can make the right calls every time and know for certain when to tack, which shift to look out for and how the tide can work with or against you. With colour diagrams and photographs throughout, this instructional guide turns information into excellence.  Accessible to those new to racing, it also has a depth of information that will transform the performance of even professional sailors.
