Sinossi

Taipei 101 stands as a symbol of Taiwan's economic rise and cultural identity, showcasing innovative architecture and engineering prowess. More than just a skyscraper, it represents the nation's ambition and resilience.

 
The book "Taipei 101" explores how this iconic structure was designed to withstand frequent earthquakes and typhoons, incorporating elements of traditional Chinese aesthetics into a modern architectural marvel. One intriguing aspect is the tuned mass damper, a massive pendulum that helps stabilize the building against strong winds.

 
The narrative progresses from the historical and economic context that spurred its creation to the detailed architectural and structural engineering solutions. The book examines the cultural impact of Taipei 101, illustrating how it has shaped Taiwan's national image and boosted tourism. It highlights the building's role as a national symbol and its contribution to urban planning, making it a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of architecture, engineering, and cultural studies.

    In this 2024 conversation with Travis Glen Sebera, Schwartz explores what the Internal Family Systems [IFS] model encompasses and how healing our own inner world can create ripples of compassion that extend from ourselves to our communities. These internal parts of the self can debilitate us with paralyzing fear, shame, feelings of not being good enough, and other enfeebling influences. Schwartz describes the goal of IFS is to help the internal parts of the self to transform from their extreme states into who they're designed to be. He gives several examples of how he works with people such as care-givers who also become incapacitated by arthritis, or highly driven corporate executives who are overly dependent on achieving goals, as well as working with those who suffer from shame. He acknowledges that these parts are neither good nor bad and each can have wonderful qualities. His work is to encourage people to listen to these parts with spaciousness and personal curiosity so as to ultimately live a more balanced life. 
    Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D. is the creator of the therapeutic model known as Internal Family Systems [IFS] and founder of the IFS Institute which offers training for professionals and the general public. Formerly an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago and later at Northwestern University, he is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School. He is the author of many books including:No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma, and Restoring Wholeness with The Internal Family Systems Model (Sounds True 2021)

    The book that has been waiting to be written – how Ireland’s housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. 
    Millennials are the first generation in Ireland to be worse off than their parents. Trapped in a game of rental roulette, stuck living at home as adults, and many on the brink of homelessness, the Irish housing crisis has defined the lives of an entire generation – and it is set to continue. 
    With housing costs in Ireland the highest in the EU, the property ladder has been kicked from under thousands. So how did we get here … and how do we break the cycle? 
    In Gaffs, housing expert Rory Hearne urges us to think about the people behind the statistics, and shows us that there is a way towards a future where everyone has access to a home. 
    In Gaffs, Rory Hearne, a renowned expert in sociology and economics, delves into the heart of the Irish housing crisis, exposing the economic disparity and social classes struggle. He presents a compelling argument, backed by top-notch research, about the dire need for a shift in public policy.

    When the Soviet Union broke apart in 1991, the Russian Federation and the newly independent republics of the Baltics, the Caucasus and Central Asia engaged in redefining their national identity in a challenging regional and global context. The stances and policies towards the minorities living in these countries became part of the striving towards national independence and identity formation. Despite vastly different post-Soviet nation-building trajectories, the development and implementation of state policies towards minorities had similar relevance and importance across the region. Thirty years after the end of the USSR what is the situation of minorities and minority issues in the countries that emerged from that multi-ethnic state?
    How have the former republics – including Russia dealt with their minorities and minority affairs? To what protection and rights are minority communities entitled to? Studies of the dissolution of the USSR and of nation-building in the independent post-Soviet states have flourished over the past decades. However, despite the relevance of the theme, there is a dearth of specialist publications which address the many issues related to minority communities in the post-Soviet space. This volume attempts to fill this gap by providing a collection of essays covering some of the most relevant aspects of the contemporary status and situation of minorities in the area.

    Scars on the Land is the first comprehensive history of American slavery to examine how the environment fundamentally formed enslaved people's lives and how slavery remade the Southern landscape. Over two centuries, from the establishment of slavery in the Chesapeake to the Civil War, one simple calculation had profound consequences: rather than measuring productivity based on outputs per acre, Southern planters sought to maximize how much labor they could extract from their enslaved workforce. They saw the landscape as disposable, relocating to more fertile prospects once they had leached the soils and cut down the forests. On the leading edge of the frontier, slavery laid waste to fragile ecosystems, draining swamps, clearing forests to plant crops and fuel steamships, and introducing devastating invasive species. On its trailing edge, slavery left eroded hillsides, rivers clogged with sterile soil, and the extinction of native species. While environmental destruction fueled slavery's expansion, no environment could long survive intensive slave labor. The scars manifested themselves in different ways, but the land too fell victim to the slave owner's lash.

    ANDREW: 
    I’d dreamed of him again. Now, if I’d known that Juandre would haunt my thoughts day and night for the past ten years, I would never have had the man. I couldn’t dispute my incisors had prickled at the sexy Hispanic ever since he’d pulled over and smiled a cheeky smile at me. 
    As if I couldn’t already read into that, I knew what he would ask me even before he asked. The thing was, I had felt a little peckish and hoped a meal would stop and take me home with him for the night. Prolonging my hunger was never good. 
    That final night of debauchery and discovery was the last item on my list to check off before my year-long sabbatical to clear my head and decide whether I wanted to run away or dismantle the Disciples. Over the years, I had managed to surround myself with them, and only Tony and the few men in our inner circle knew the true reason for Lord Andrew Whiskey. 
    He’ll be in his early thirties, and I’ll still look exactly like I did ten years ago. Will he even remember me? 
    This story contains explicit graphic depictions of gay sex and crude language unsuitable for young or sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex.
