Beschreibung

Skyscraper Rivalries explores the captivating race among cities to erect the world's tallest buildings, going beyond mere architectural feats to examine the underlying ambition, economic considerations, and civic pride. These towering structures symbolize a city's power and progress, influencing urban development by attracting investment, tourism, and generating jobs. The book traces the history of tall buildings from the late 19th century to the present, highlighting how technological advancements, like the evolution of building materials, have enabled cities to reach unprecedented heights. The book analyzes architectural trends and how these reflect societal values and technological capabilities, using case studies that explore the competition between cities like New York and Chicago, as well as more recent rivalries in Asia and the Middle East. Ultimately, the book argues that building record-breaking skyscrapers reflects complex geopolitical and economic rivalries between cities. It progresses from the early innovations and the rise of skyscraper construction in the United States to examining key case studies and drawing conclusions about the future of skyscraper construction, considering sustainability and global competition.

    Black girls are leading, organizing, advocating, and creating. They are starting nonprofits. Building political coalitions. Promoting diverse literature. Fighting cancer. Improving water quality. Working to prevent gun violence. 
     
     
     
    Are we ready to learn from their leadership? 
     
     
     
    "Black women are literally at the helm of every movement," says Tyah-Amoy Roberts, an activist and a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. "Every push for social justice. Every push for social change. We need to take our stories into our own hands." In Unbossed, they do. 
     
     
     
    From Khristi Lauren Adams comes Unbossed, a hopeful and riveting inquiry into the lives of eight young Black women who are agitating for change and imagining a better world. Offering practical lessons in leadership, resilience, empathy, and tenacity from a group of young leaders of color who are often neglected, Unbossed includes profiles of Jaychele Nicole Schenck, Ssanyu Lukoma, Tyah-Amoy Roberts, Grace Callwood, Hannah Lucas, Amara Ifeji, Stephanie Younger, and Kynnedy Smith.

    África y Roma: La historia y el...

    En su apogeo, el Imperio Romano abarcaba grandes extensiones de Europa occidental, Oriente Medio, Egipto y el norte de África, y aunque mucha gente conoce la influencia y el legado de Roma en Europa y Oriente Medio, a menudo se sabe menos de los asentamientos romanos en la costa mediterránea del norte de áfrica. No obstante, esta fue una zona que produjo varios emperadores (incluidos los únicos emperadores negros), algunas de las ciudades más sofisticadas del imperio y ruinas romanas que ofrecen algunas de las mejores pruebas del modo de vida romano que se pueden encontrar en cualquier parte del mundo.  
    	Aparte de la naturaleza complicada de los sistemas administrativos en evolución en la zona, otro reto importante para los investigadores modernos del periodo romano en la historia del norte de África es que el entorno natural era muy diferente al actual. Se suele suponer que la región solo era fértil en la costa y que el interior no podía proporcionar los recursos necesarios para mantener poblaciones numerosas y ricas. Sin embargo, en la antigüedad, el norte de África era una región fértil, y los científicos creen que la vasta zona de praderas escarpadas que cubría la mayor parte de lo que hoy es el desierto del Sáhara comenzó a secarse hace unos 5000 años, y que el proceso de transformación de las praderas en desiertos fue lento. Aunque existe un considerable debate sobre el tiempo que duró el proceso y si las técnicas agrícolas a pequeña escala utilizadas en la región contribuyeron al proceso de desecación, está claro que la zona alrededor de Cartago, por ejemplo, tenía una amplia extensión de tierras bien cultivadas, y que dicho cultivo se prolongó hasta bien entrada la Edad Media.
