  Blue Architecture - Water Design...

  2023 PROSE Award in Architecture and Urban Planning 
   
   
   
  Le Corbusier famously said, "A house is a machine for living in." We now confront the litany of environmental challenges associated with the legacy of the architectural machine: a changing climate, massive species die-off, diminished air and water quality, and resource scarcities. Brook Muller offers an alternative: water-centric urban design that fosters sustainability, equity, and architectural creativity. 
   
   
   
  Inspired by the vernacular, such as the levadas of Madeira Island and both the arid and drenched places of the American West, Muller articulates a "hydro-logical" philosophy in which architects and planners begin by conceptualizing interactions between existing waterways and the spaces they intend to develop. From these interactions—and the new technologies and approaches enabling them—aesthetic, spatial, and experiential opportunities follow. Not content merely to work around sensitive ecology, Muller argues for genuinely climate-adapted urban landscapes in which buildings act as ecological infrastructure that actually improve watersheds while delivering functionality and beauty for diverse communities. Rich in practical examples, Blue Architecture will change the way we think about our designed world.

  A fantasy playground in an unforgiving desert. A town that refused to fail. A gambling mecca that never closes. Las Vegas. Sin City. 
  Situated in a barren desert landscape, Las Vegas exists for one reason—water. Popular as a waystation for travelers, the Las Vegas Valley attracted the attention of railroad visionaries at the end of the 19th century. After purchasing land from a local widow, the developers laid out a town in 1905. Vegas hasn’t slowed down since. 
  Building on one opportunity after another, the citizens of that railroad town refused to entertain the notion that they could fail. Buoyed by the building of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) during the Great Depression, Vegas played a major role in World War II. But the war years also put Las Vegas on the radar of organized crime as a wide-open town ripe for casinos that hid extensive money-laundering operations.  
  Now a place for both families and high rollers, Las Vegas has no mercy when it comes to re-invention. In Sin City, the old constantly makes way for the new—and there’s always something new on the horizon. 
  This captivating guide tells the story of Las Vegas from prehistory to the empire building of developers. In these pages, you’ll read about local legends and gain insight into the heart of a city created for practical reasons but built on outrageous whimsy and the guts to carve its own way to greatness. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The prehistory of a valley once filled with marshy land and flowing rivers.The role pioneers, including Mormon missionaries, played in the development of the town.The adventures and influence of founding citizens like Charles “Pop” Squires and Helen J. Stewart.And so much more!

  The Fear of Life And the Life...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Miriam sat beside her mother and held her hand. 
  “Don’t go, Mom. Please... please don’t leave me alone. I don’t have anyone else.” 
  In that moment, she needed her mother more than ever. She wanted to climb into bed and rest her head in her mother’s lap, maybe for the last time. She felt the urge to cry out loud, to let the pain escape. But more than anything, she longed for a comforting hand on her back while she cried. 
  Where was that hand now? It felt irrational, even selfish, to wish for comfort from someone who was dying. Yet that’s what she wanted — one last moment of reassurance to help her face the loss. 
  Then something happened. 
  Her mother gently squeezed her finger, opened her eyes for a second, looked straight into Miriam’s, and closed them again. She fell asleep peacefully and didn’t wake up. 
  Miriam smiled as tears of both sorrow and gratitude streamed down her face. 
   
  In warm, accessible language, Dr. Ali Badarni invites readers into the world of hypnosis and its powerful role in healing. This book weaves science and storytelling, sharing the moving experiences of people who found their way back to life through hypnotherapy. 
   
  You’ll meet eight individuals whose stories feel deeply familiar. Each one could be any of us. Through their journeys, Dr. Badarni also faced his own fears and helped heal emotional wounds that had remained open for years. 
   
  These stories offer more than insight. They provide a mirror, allowing readers to recognize their own struggles and explore meaningful ways to heal. 
   
  Dr. Ali Badarni, born in November 1964, is a psychologist, neuropsychologist, and certified hypnotherapist. He is the founder, partner, and CEO of Elrazi, a center for diagnosis, therapy, and rehabilitation. 
   
  He is married to Maria, a fellow psychologist and classmate originally from Greece. They have three children: Lydia, a Chinese medicine specialist; George-Amir, a young physician; and Sawsan, an architecture student at Tel Aviv University.
