Sinossi

"Miracle of Nail" uncovers the fascinating journey of how a simple metal fastener revolutionized architecture and construction throughout human history. From ancient Mesopotamian bronze nails to today's precision-engineered fasteners, this comprehensive exploration reveals how nail technology has consistently shaped our ability to create increasingly complex and sustainable buildings.

 
The book presents compelling evidence of how nail-making innovations, particularly during the Industrial Revolution, dramatically transformed construction efficiency and architectural possibilities. Through a well-structured examination spanning three main sections, the book weaves together archaeological findings, engineering data, and contemporary case studies to demonstrate the nail's crucial role in architectural advancement.

 
Readers will discover how metallurgical breakthroughs led to stronger, more versatile fasteners, and how different nail types serve specific architectural needs. The analysis extends beyond mere technical details, incorporating insights from various disciplines including archaeology, structural engineering, and materials science to present a complete picture of the nail's influence on building practices.

 
What sets this work apart is its unique interdisciplinary approach, making complex technical concepts accessible to both professionals and general readers interested in architecture and construction technology. By connecting historical developments with modern sustainable building practices, the book offers practical insights for contemporary builders while highlighting the continuing evolution of this essential construction element.

 
Through carefully documented evidence and clear explanations, readers gain a deeper appreciation for how this seemingly simple fastener continues to shape architectural innovation and sustainable construction methods.

    None of my books suited the concept of Audio Snaps better than Sour Mouth Sweet Bottom. In the foreword to the book I wrote: "This is not an autobiography, it's a series of vignettes of my ill-spent life. I shook the photo albumin these are the ones that fell out." For the audiobook, I’ve given it a further shake, and the result is a dozen or so pictures of my life in and around the music business. One story is not from Sour Mouth Sweet Bottom. The story about the Brill Building is actually the foreword to my book The Business But it fitted this collection so well that I couldn’t resist putting it in. Listen and enjoy,

    This book primarily focuses on freestyle as it applies to rap. But the principles in & of themselves are universal I believe. Often after we master or even become proficient at a skill. We apply it without thinking, we “freestyle it”. These are my opinions. I’ve been freestyling professionally for 10 years, been featured on news outlets & in documentaries. This is a brief reflection on some things I’ve noticed, and what I’ve gleaned learning from others. You may find the path to your goals a different way, nothing here is concrete take what works for you. Thanks for considering what is written here :)

    Making Mary Poppins reveals the extraordinary true story behind the creation of one of the most beloved films of all time―and the two little-known songwriters who helped make it possible. 
    Long before Mary Poppins danced across the rooftops and into the hearts of millions, Robert and Richard Sherman were struggling songwriters in Los Angeles, trying to find their voices―and their futures. In this vivid and deeply researched narrative, author and Disney historian Todd James Pierce traces the unlikely path that brought the Sherman brothers to Walt Disney's attention, and how their personal history, musical genius, and emotional lives shaped the film's unforgettable songs and surprising storyline. 
    From their early days writing novelty tunes to the high-stakes drama of working with P. L. Travers and Walt Disney himself, the Sherman brothers' story is rich with behind-the-scenes intrigue, creative breakthroughs, and quiet triumphs. Their work on Mary Poppins not only launched their careers―it transformed Disney's live-action division and influenced an entire era of musical filmmaking. 
    Filled with never-before-published details, Making Mary Poppins is a story of art, ambition, and resilience.
