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.

    It’s October 1977, and the Rolling Stones are in a Paris recording studio. They’re under siege. Keith Richards’s legal troubles after his arrest for heroin possession threaten the band’s future, and the broad consensus among rock aficionados is that the band will never again reach the heights of Exile on Main Street.But Mick Jagger is writing lyrics inspired by the year he has just spent in New York City, where he was hanging out with the punks at CBGB and with the glitterati at Studio 54. And new bandmember Ron Wood is helping Richards recapture the two-guitar groove that the band had been missing since the Brian Jones era. The result? Some Girls, the band’s response both to punk rock and to disco, an album that crackles with all the energy, decadence, and violence of New York in the 1970s. Weaving together the history of the band and the city, Cyrus R. K. Patell traces the genesis and legacy of the album that Jagger would later call the band’s best since Let It Bleed.

    The Ming Dynasty emerged from the ashes of the Yuan Dynasty, a Mongol-led empire that had ruled China for nearly a century. By the late 14th century, the Yuan government had become weak and corrupt, plagued by heavy taxation, famines, and widespread unrest. The Chinese population, weary of foreign rule, began to rise in rebellion. Among the many insurgent leaders, one man would rise to power and change the course of Chinese history—Zhu Yuanzhang. 
    Born into a poor peasant family, Zhu Yuanzhang experienced hardship early in life. Orphaned as a child, he spent years in a Buddhist monastery before joining the Red Turban Rebellion, a movement dedicated to overthrowing the Yuan. His military prowess and strategic mind quickly elevated him through the ranks. As he consolidated power, he systematically eliminated rival factions, eventually establishing himself as the dominant leader of the rebellion. In 1368, Zhu marched his forces into Beijing, forcing the last Yuan emperor to flee northward. Declaring the end of Mongol rule, he proclaimed himself emperor and founded the Ming Dynasty, choosing the name "Ming," meaning "brilliant" or "bright," to symbolize a new era of Chinese rule. 
    As the first Ming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, now known as the Hongwu Emperor, sought to restore Chinese traditions and repair the damage caused by Mongol rule. He reestablished Confucian principles as the foundation of government, reinstating the civil service examination system to ensure that officials were selected based on merit rather than birthright. He also implemented strict laws to reduce corruption, often resorting to harsh punishments to maintain order. His administration worked to rebuild agriculture, improve irrigation systems, and distribute land to farmers, strengthening the economy and ensuring food security.
