Sinossi

In "The Life of the Grasshopper," Jean-Henri Fabre delves into the intricate world of this fascinating insect, blending meticulous observational science with vivid literary artistry. Fabre's prose navigates the life cycle of the grasshopper with a keen eye for detail, exploring its habits, behaviors, and ecological significance. His style reflects the 19th-century fascination with nature, imbued with a poetic sensibility that elevates entomology beyond mere taxonomy into an exploration of life itself. Through careful observation, Fabre illustrates not only the biological mechanics of the grasshopper but also its role in the broader tapestry of life, echoing the evolving scientific thought of his time. A self-taught entomologist, Fabre's passion for insects stemmed from his rural upbringing in France, where he honed his observational skills. His experiences inform the intimate and passionate tone of this work, as he transforms scientific observation into compelling narrative, provoking curiosity and admiration for the natural world. Fabre's commitment to entomology was unwavering, often sacrificing recognition in favor of pure scientific inquiry. Readers seeking a profound connection to nature through the lens of entomology will find "The Life of the Grasshopper" both enlightening and engaging. Fabre's work serves as an invitation to consider the beauty and complexity of life forms that often go unnoticed, making it a timeless addition to the study of natural history.

Built to Fail - Why Construction...

Todd Zabelle

The separation of planning from doing and the preoccupation with administration, contracts, and scheduling over designing and building has been disastrous for construction. Lawyers, planners, risk managers, schedulers, and other administrative roles impede the ability of architects, engineers, and craftspeople—the professionals who design and build the things society needs to function. It isn’t just a matter of getting things done on time—if you’re the owner of an asset, manage a construction company, or invest in a project, overcoming these limitations is critical to your ability to compete and profit.Todd Zabelle, a recognized expert, construction CEO, and one of the founders of the lean construction movement, looks critically at each aspect of the industry, from production to construction to design to deployment to what the future holds, deftly analyzing where we’ve gone wrong and offering concrete, clear-eyed solutions for how to fix it.Zabelle’s incisive wit and pulls-no-punches honesty are a refreshing antidote to the bland, overly polite, vacuous dialogue of board meetings and academic conferences. Speaking from the heart—and informed by over thirty years of experience in all facets of the industry—Zabelle delivers a much-needed wakeup call at a time when it’s needed most.
