Summary

"Tiny Skyscrapers" challenges conventional wisdom about vertical architecture by exploring how smaller-scale high-rise buildings serve as crucial testing grounds for architectural innovation. Rather than focusing on record-breaking heights, the book examines how compact vertical structures between 10 and 40 stories have shaped urban development and continue to influence the future of city planning. Through a combination of historical analysis and technical insights, it reveals how these modest giants have become vital laboratories for testing construction techniques and materials that eventually find their way into larger structures.

 
The book's systematic approach unfolds across three distinct sections, beginning with fundamental engineering principles that enable vertical construction at various scales. Through detailed case studies and blueprints, it demonstrates how successful compact structures have implemented these principles in real-world settings. The final section delves into cutting-edge materials science and construction methods that promise to reshape urban development.

 
Drawing from extensive research across Asia, Europe, and North America, the work presents compelling evidence that the future of urban architecture lies not in height records but in optimizing smaller vertical structures for maximum efficiency. What sets this work apart is its practical focus on the sweet spot between architectural ambition and functionality, offering valuable insights for both professionals and students in the field. By examining the intersection of urban planning, environmental science, and materials engineering, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how smaller vertical structures can address contemporary challenges in sustainable urban development while serving as proving grounds for tomorrow's architectural innovations.

    Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed comets were evil portents. In 1705, Edmond Halley liberated humanity from these primordial superstitions, proving that Newtonian mechanics rather than the will of the gods brought comets into our celestial neighborhood. Despite this scientific advance, when Halley's Comet returned in 1910, newspapers gleefully provoked a global hysteria that unfolded with tragic consequences. 
 
 
 
In Comet Madness, author and historian Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halley's Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception. 
 
 
 
As the comet neared Earth, scientists and journalists alike scrambled to get the story straight as citizens the world over panicked. 
 
 
 
As a result, workmen shelved their tools, farmers refused to plant crops they would never harvest, and formerly reliable people stopped paying their creditors. Others suffered mental breakdowns, and some took their own lives. 
 
 
 
Comet Madness reveals how humans confront the unknown, how scientists learn about the world we inhabit, and how certain people—from outright hucksters to opportunistic journalists—harness fear to produce a profit.
