  A charming and indispensable tour of two thousand years of the written word, Shady Characters weaves a fascinating trail across the parallel histories of language and typography. 
   
   
   
  Whether investigating the asterisk (*) and dagger (†)—which alternately illuminated and skewered heretical verses of the early Bible—or the at sign (@), which languished in obscurity for centuries until rescued by the Internet, Keith Houston draws on myriad sources to chart the life and times of these enigmatic squiggles, both exotic (¶) and everyday (&). 
   
   
   
  From the Library of Alexandria to the halls of Bell Labs, figures as diverse as Charlemagne, Vladimir Nabokov, and George W. Bush cross paths with marks as obscure as the interrobang (?) and as divisive as the dash (—). Ancient Roman graffiti, Venetian trading shorthand, Cold War double agents, and Madison Avenue round out an ever more diverse set of episodes, characters, and artifacts. 
   
   
   
  Ranging across time, typographies, and countries, Shady Characters will delight and entertain all who cherish the unpredictable and surprising in the writing life.

  Hyperplan- Crater city - Mitzpe...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Hyperplan is a bold architectural audiobook about designing cities as living organisms rather than fixed masterplans.  
  Through the charged landscape of Mitzpe Ramon and the edge of the desert crater, Moshe Katz develops a new way of thinking about urban life: one that responds to vastness, climate, memory, movement, uncertainty, and human imagination. The desert becomes a teacher. The crater becomes a spatial force.  
   
  The city becomes something alive, adaptive, and capable of holding both daily life and infinity. This audiobook is for architects, planners, designers, students, and visionaries who want to move beyond static urban planning into a more responsive and poetic model of city-making.  
   
  Hyperplan asks what happens when a town, a landscape, and a horizon are read together, and when architecture begins to design not only buildings but also relationships among people, place, and the larger world.

  An explosive inside look at The Dirty Dozen, the star-studded war film that broke the rules, shocked the critics, thrilled audiences, and became an all-time classic . . . 
   
   
   
  Based on exclusive interviews with the surviving cast and crew, friends and families of the stars, and other Hollywood insiders, Killin' Generals is a riveting must-listen for film buffs, military fans, and anyone who loves a down-and-dirty adventure tale. Detailed, insightful, and gossipy, Epstein's homage spotlights the movie's endless barrage of cinematic gold. 
   
   
   
  During a time when America was reeling from turmoil, Hollywood held an indelible mirror up to a changing society. Films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Cool Hand Luke, and In the Heat of the Night would define the era. But it was a gritty, violent, darkly comic World War II movie called The Dirty Dozen that would really strike a chord with audiences—and become the year's biggest box office success. Heading up the all-star cast were Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, John Cassavettes, Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Jim Brown, Robert Ryan, Clint Walker, and at his most terrifying best, Telly Savalas, propelling many of them to stardom.

  Beatles Rewind - Essential...

  Sixty years after four young men from Liverpool changed everything, the Beatles remain the most written-about, argued-over, and obsessively studied band in the history of popular music. So, what is there left to say? 
  Quite a lot, it turns out. 
  Beatles Rewind   is a deep dive into the people, the music, and the cultural phenomenon that the Beatles became—and remain. Written by a lifelong Beatles scholar and the creator of the popular Beatles Rewind platform, this book brings together essential essays that examine each of the four Beatles as individuals, the extraordinary alchemy that happened when they played together, and the music that resulted from both. 
  The book opens where it has to: with the explosion. What was it about that moment—the Sullivan appearance, the screaming fans, the hair, the chord changes—that announced something genuinely new had arrived? From there, it examines each Beatle in depth. John Lennon: the leader, the visionary, and the provocateur who could be the most generous and the most cruel person in any room. Paul McCartney: the untrained genius who wrote melodies by instinct that trained composers spend careers trying to understand. George Harrison: the quiet spiritualist who took longer to emerge but left a body of solo work that rivals either of his more famous bandmates. And Ringo Starr: the steady, joyful, grateful heartbeat without whom none of it would sound quite right. 
  But Beatles Rewind  is more than four biographies. It examines the collective alchemy that made the Beatles something greater than the sum of their extraordinary parts, traces the evolution of their music across the most compressed and radical creative arc in pop history, and asks the questions that matter today: What does this music still mean? What did we almost lose? And what comes next?
