Sinopse

Bridges are more than just structures that span physical obstacles. They are symbols of human ingenuity, determination, and the power of collaboration. They connect people, communities, and cultures, enabling us to overcome barriers and reach new horizons.

In this captivating book, we take you on a journey across the world to explore some of the most iconic and awe-inspiring bridges. From the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, from the Tower Bridge in London to the Millau Viaduct in France, we uncover the stories behind these engineering marvels.

Discover the challenges that engineers and architects faced in designing and constructing these bridges, and learn about the innovative solutions they employed to overcome them. Marvel at the beauty and elegance of these structures, and appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that went into their creation.

But bridges are more than just feats of engineering. They are also symbols of hope, progress, and unity. They connect people from different backgrounds and cultures, and they facilitate trade, travel, and the exchange of ideas. Bridges bring us closer together, and they remind us that we are all part of a global community.

In this book, you will find stories of bridges that have changed the course of history, bridges that have saved lives, and bridges that have brought people together. You will also find stories of bridges that have been destroyed by war, natural disasters, or neglect, and the efforts that have been made to rebuild them.

Through these stories, we learn about the importance of bridges, not just as physical structures, but as symbols of human resilience, cooperation, and the indomitable spirit that drives us to overcome obstacles and build a better world.

Join us on this journey across the world's most iconic bridges, and discover the stories that make them so much more than just structures of steel and concrete.

    The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler - Hallam wanted to get out of space – but even more he wanted to make a fortune first. Now he had found a way to do it – by selling – The Ultimate Vice. 
A. Bertram Chandler (1912-1984) was an Australian science fiction author best known for his extensive John Grimes series, set in the Rim World universe. Chandler’s career as a merchant marine officer deeply influenced his writing, infusing his stories with authentic nautical and spacefaring details. He explored themes of exploration, isolation, and the human condition in the vastness of space. Chandler’s protagonists, particularly Grimes, are often depicted as pragmatic, resourceful, and somewhat rebellious figures navigating the complexities of interstellar bureaucracy and the challenges of frontier life. His works blend adventure, hard science fiction, and social commentary, often reflecting his fascination with alternative realities and parallel universes. Chandler’s storytelling is marked by a sense of wonder and a deep respect for the exploratory spirit. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, his contributions to the genre have earned him a dedicated following.

    Life Lessons from Darla - A...

    Shock. That was Darla's first reaction when her carefree childhood was disrupted by cancer. Her life became a roller coaster of intense emotions. Sadly, she lost her leg and, ultimately, faced death. During her illness, we shared difficult times, but also great times celebrating life as Darla grew in faith and joy. She lived in the present (not worrying about her past or future) and was very positive. Darla was a joy to be with because she was joyful! 
My life was enriched by my precious friendship with Darla. She taught me to be more peaceful, loving, and accepting—especially of those who are considered different. My love for Darla and gratitude for the life lessons I received from being with her transcended the grief and heartbreak of losing her. I learned that our choices shape our lives. We have the power to help or hurt people. We can stagnate or soar into our dreams. Will we live in love or fear? Will we be courageous or withdraw when given challenges? Will we be caring or careless with others? 
Here I share comical and touching tales of life with feisty Darla. I also include heartwarming stories about other amazing people and animals with disabilities and other differences. Like Darla's, their stories offer insight and inspiration. They show us that differences should be appreciated. They make the world a richer place. 
Excerpts 
A thought came to me. Was I looking at Darla’s body or at Darla? With fresh understanding, I looked at her and it was okay. Not so scary. (audio sample) 
She wouldn’t have her dates or even a first kiss. So ... she decided to live those things through me. Feisty Darla gave me a smile one day. Not a sweet one—one of those sly little grins that made me cringe. I lifted my eyebrows and stared, waiting for it. “Go find somebody to kiss you,” she said nonchalantly. “Ha!” I squeaked, “I don’t think it’s that easy.” “Well, it can be,” she said. I was willing to do an awful lot for her, but this?

    This emotional and honest book explores a racist encounter from the perspective of a young Black boy, while offering a message of unconditional love and acceptance to soothe the pain of blind prejudice. In this story based on the author's childhood, a young Black boy confronts his first experience of overt racism. In recounting the events to his grandfather, the young narrator asks: “How can she hate me when she doesn’t know me?” Grandpa offers wisdom and encouragement to the child, reminding him that another person’s hate does not change the fact that he is loved and that he matters. While offering an unflinching look at the emotional impact of the encounter, Tyler Merritt presents a message of love and acceptance that will resonate with young readers and offer a starting point for conversations about racial equality between parent or caregiver and child.
