City Planning - Concepts and...

Lyric Vale

City planning is more than just the design of roads, buildings, and parks; it is the blueprint for a society's future. The way cities are planned has a profound impact on the lives of their inhabitants, influencing everything from the air they breathe to their access to resources and opportunities. At its core, city planning seeks to create environments that are not only functional but also sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. In an era where urbanization is increasing rapidly, the importance of thoughtful city planning has never been greater.
The planning process involves much more than the physical layout of a city. It encompasses strategies for economic growth, social equity, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation. A well-planned city can enhance quality of life, boost economic productivity, and provide a sense of community, while a poorly planned city can lead to overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation. As more people move into cities every year, urban planners are tasked with creating spaces that are not only livable but also adaptable to future needs.
One of the most pressing reasons for effective city planning is the growing concern over environmental issues. Cities are responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, and urban sprawl has led to the depletion of natural resources. Through sustainable urban planning practices, cities can reduce their environmental footprint by promoting energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy sources, and green spaces. Additionally, proper planning can mitigate the effects of climate change, such as flooding and heat islands, by incorporating resilient infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather conditions.

An Engineer Imagines

Peter Rice

The long-awaited reissue of the autobiography of Peter Rice, one of the main structural engineers behind the Sydney Opera House, the Pompidou Centre, the Menil Collection and Lloyd's of London.

'I am an engineer. Often people will call me an 'architect engineer' as a compliment. It is meant to signify a quality of engineer who is more imaginative and design-orientated than a normal engineer... To call an engineer an 'architect engineer' because he comes up with unusual or original solutions is essentially to misunderstand the role of the engineer in society.'
An Engineer Imagines is a rare look into the professional creativity and philosophy of Peter Rice, who was widely acclaimed as the greatest structural engineer of his generation. He was a man who, in Renzo Piano's words, could design structures 'like a pianist who can play with his eyes shut'. Working with many of the world's greatest architects on buildings that became icons of contemporary architecture, he brought a uniquely poetic feeling to his work.
Joining Ove Arup & Partners in 1956, Rice had heard that 'it was a place where an oddball could fit in.' Taking on Arup's theory of Total Design to heart, Rice writes about the role of the engineer in society, and how he himself applied his creativity to various projects. He admits he became an engineer by accident, tentatively feeling his way through a career without a natural instinct. But as he takes you through each of his projects, one-by-one, you can trace his development from graduate to veteran.
Written in clear and poetic language, Rice's autobiography is perfect for those who want to better understand postwar buildings, our concrete environment, or are budding students of engineering and architecture.

The FBI War on Tupac Shakur -...

John Potash

Since the first day after the tragedy was announced, controversy has surrounded the death of rap and cultural icon Tupac Shakur. In this work, preeminent researcher on the topic, John Potash, puts forward his own theories of the events leading up to and following the murder in this meticulously researched and exhaustive account of the story. Never before has there been such a detailed and shocking analysis of the untimely death of one of the greatest musicians of the modern era. The FBI War on Tupac Shakur contains a wealth of names, dates, and events detailing the use of unscrupulous tactics by the Federal Bureau of Investigation against a generation of leftist political leaders and musicians. Based on twelve years of research and including extensive footnotes, sources include over 100 interviews, FOIA-released CIA and FBI documents, court transcripts, and mainstream media outlets. Beginning with the birth of the Civil Rights Movement in America, Potash illustrates the ways in which the FBI and the United States government conspired to take down and dismantle the various burgeoning activist and revolutionary groups forming at the time. From Martin Luther King Jr. to Malcolm X to Fred Hampton, the methods used to thwart their progress can be seen repeated again and again in the 80s and 90s against later revolutionary groups, musicians, and, most notably, Tupac Shakur. Buckle up for this winding, shocking, and unbelievable tale as John Potash reveals the dark underbelly of our government and their treatment of some of our most beloved Black icons.
