Never Before Seen in the History...

Won Weekend

This is the untold story of an epic theme park mania that roiled East Asia for three decades. 
Everyone knows the economic version of the story: Japan, Korea, and China industrialized at lightning speed. These export powerhouse developed mighty infrastructure bases and global conglomerates the envy of the world. Their ascent to economic domination was uncannily sequential. 
But fewer realize that each country's path to prosperity has also involved a meandering, hallucinatory path through a theme park. Beginning in the 1990s, Japan, Korea, and China were gripped by a feverish pursuit of theme park grandeur. Over the next 30 years, some of the largest, most fantastical wonderlands ever conceived were built, destroyed, and dreamed. 
While all manias reveal human foibles and absurdity, this story is also a deeply human one about unbridled hope and staggering ambition.

AI: Can It Replace My Dog? - In...

Cho Jae Chan

There has never been a time in history when dogs received treatment like people.   
Dogs cannot speak and have limited intelligence, yet through their unconditional loyalty, warm gaze, and comforting presence alone, they have risen to the status of child-level family members—brothers, sisters, or even sons and daughters.   
What is fascinating is that dogs never intended or desired this rise in status. 
In an era where loneliness and isolation have become everyday realities—driven by the rise of single-person households and an aging population—the path to even greater elevation opened wide for dogs.   
However, a powerful challenger has emerged: emotional AI robots.   
With incomparable intelligence, multilingual capabilities, and the ability to handle household chores, tutoring, and companionship, these robots are now fully prepared to step into the world once they gain a physical body. 
This book vividly depicts the current state of AI robots and the future scenes of society that are about to become reality.

From the horrors during the War of 1812, to murder, to technological innovation and the birth of the modern tourist industry, Niagara has seen it all:
		 
In 1901, Annie Taylor was the first person to go over the falls in a barrel…and survive.
		 
It is said that the former Houdini Hall of Fame was cursed by the dead escape artist himself, and that he was responsible for its demise.
		 
For two weeks in 1952, Niagara Falls shared the spotlight with another attraction, Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe.
		 
Maria Spelterini was the first and only woman to cross Niagara on a tightrope…and then she disappears from history.

Nikola Tesla, an eccentric but brilliant inventor, tamed the falls and revolutionized electricity forever.
		 
In 1913, a barge ran aground at the precipice of the falls, creating a landmark and a tale of heroic rescue that endures to this day.
		 
And so much more…
