Synopsis

"Burj Khalifa" examines the world's tallest building through the lens of architecture, economics, and social impact. It explores how Dubai's ambition to diversify its economy beyond oil fueled the creation of this architectural marvel. The book highlights the innovative engineering solutions required to reach unprecedented heights and analyzes the political motivations driving its construction. One intriguing aspect is how the Burj Khalifa has reshaped Dubai's identity as a global hub, attracting international investment and tourism.

 
The book approaches the subject by first setting the historical context of Dubai's development and the evolution of skyscraper design. It then progresses through the key stages of the Burj Khalifa's creation, including a detailed look at the architectural and engineering challenges, the economic and political factors, and the social and cultural impact on Dubai.

 
The book argues that the Burj Khalifa's success is measured not only by its height but also by its role in reshaping Dubai's identity and its impact on global architectural possibilities. The structure of the book moves from initial concepts to the building's impact, making it valuable for those interested in architecture, urban planning, and the broader forces that shape our world. It provides insights into the intersection of architecture, economics, and society, offering a comprehensive understanding of this iconic structure.

    J. Edgar Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, and Roy Cohn were titanic figures in midcentury America, wielding national power in government and the legal system through intimidation and insinuation. Hoover’s FBI thrived on secrecy, threats, and illegal surveillance, while McCarthy and Cohn will forever be associated with the infamous anticommunist smear campaign of the early 1950s, which culminated in McCarthy’s public disgrace during televised Senate hearings. In Gossip Men, Christopher M. Elias takes a probing look at these tarnished figures to reveal a host of startling new connections among gender, sexuality, and national security in twentieth-century American politics. Elias illustrates how these three men solidified their power through the skillful use of deliberately misleading techniques like implication, hyperbole, and photographic manipulation. Just as provocatively, he shows that the American people of the 1950s were particularly primed to accept these coded threats because they were already familiar with such tactics from widely popular gossip magazines. 
     
    By using gossip as a lens to examine profound issues of state security and institutional power, Elias thoroughly transforms our understanding of the development of modern American political culture.
