Sinopse

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.

    Early Greek Philosophy & Other...

    "The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets—like Slave and Master morality, the Superman—can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects. "Truth and Falsity," and "The Greek Woman" are probably the two essays which will prove most attractive to the average reader."

    The first woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, there was no one like Effa Manley in the sports world of the 1930s and 1940s. She was a sophisticated woman who owned a baseball team. She never shrank from going head to head with men, who dominated the ranks of sports executives. That her life story remained unchronicled for so long can only be attributed to one thing: her team, the Newark Eagles, belonged to the Negro Leagues. 
     
     
     
    In Queen of the Negro Leagues: Effa Manley and the Newark Eagles, Negro Leagues Centennial Edition, James Overmyer brings to light new details regarding Effa Manley's fascinating story, including previously-unknown information about her childhood and family. Overmyer wonderfully portrays Effa Manley's trailblazing life, her championship baseball team, and a thriving black community in Newark that took the Eagles into their hearts. In addition, this book contains updates regarding the Negro Leagues, its talented rank of players, and Manley's induction into the Hall of Fame. 
     
     
     
    This important work shines the spotlight on a previously unsung segment of baseball history. Drawing extensively from Eagle team records and Manley's scrapbook, Queen of the Negro Leagues is the definitive biography of a groundbreaking female sports executive.
