Sinopse

Landmark Facts explores the multifaceted roles of landmarks in shaping world history, cultural heritage, and global tourism. Far from being mere tourist attractions, these sites drive economic growth and influence cultural exchange. One intriguing aspect is how landmarks embody cultural values and project national identities, while another lies in the architectural marvels that showcase feats of engineering and design.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts like architectural significance and economic influence. It then explores these ideas through focused chapters, examining how landmarks act as cultural symbols and how tourism revenue impacts preservation. Landmark Facts uniquely combines architectural analysis with cultural interpretation and economic assessment, offering a comprehensive view of landmarks as dynamic symbols.

 
The book reveals the hidden stories behind iconic landmarks, showing how a monument can reshape a nation's economy.

    In the spirit of American cultural prophecy — from Ta-Nehisi Coates to Rebecca Solnit — acclaimed writer Casey Gerald offers a groundbreaking work of joyous dissent and stunning vision, a survival guide to a society in crisis. “Somehow Casey Gerald has pulled off the most urgently political, most deeply personal, and most engagingly spiritual statement of our time by just looking outside his window and inside himself. Extraordinary.” –Marlon James on The Will Be No Miracles Here Most afternoons for the past three years, Casey Gerald took a walk. He would pass the compound that Elon Musk was building in his neighborhood; the burned-down Freedman's church; the little house where he and his lover Jack had seen a shooting star. He knew the world was crumbling, but he didn't fret. He had been promised: When it breaks, you'll be ready. "There is a great unfolding going on," Gerald writes, "and all the clues for what's to come are planted in the people." In this quietly redemptive and lyrical book, Gerald shares his map for finding those clues, finding each other, and finding our way out of this dark and wearied time. On the other side of No, Gerald insists, there is a Yes—an embrace of what we really want, what we might finally claim once we refuse. Calling forth a kaleidoscopic cast, from Odysseus to D'Angelo, Sun Tzu to Simone Biles, Black literati and desert mystics, Gerald implores us to take our power back and to remake the world together, on our terms. Written with Didion's cold eye and Baldwin's unflinching urgency, and with the dark humor of a man who’s seen too much but still wants to see what’s next, The Great Refusal is a lifeline from the other side of ruin.

    Raven-haired and fiercely independent, Joan Guildford has always remained true to herself. As lady-in-waiting and confidante to Queen Elizabeth, wife of Henry VII, Joan understands royal patronage is vital if she and her husband, Sir Richard, are to thrive in the volatile atmosphere of court life. 
    But Tudor England is in mourning following the death of the Prince of Wales, and within a year, the queen herself. With Prince Henry now heir to the throne, the court murmurs with the sound of conspiracy. Is the entire Tudor project now at stake or can young Henry secure the dynasty? 
    Drawn into the heart of the crisis, Joan’s own life is in turmoil, and her future far from secure. She faces a stark choice – be true to her heart and risk everything, or play the dutiful servant and watch her dreams wither and die. For Joan, and for Henry’s Kingdom, everything is at stake…Praise for Joanna Hickson:
