How medieval architects drew cathedral building plans The architectural history of the Middle Ages is full of surprises. It is difficult for us to imagine today that relatively few construction plans have been found for the impressive churches and cathedrals of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Where did most of the drawings go? Have the plans been destroyed in Europe or lost over time? Or were they not made at all? Although hardly any architectural drawings exist, there were numerous compasses. What were they used for and how? Was it possible to design complex buildings such as churches and cathedrals without blueprints? The author takes her readers on an exciting cultural and historical journey through time. She looks at the spread of papyrus, parchment and paper and traces the ability to write and calculate in Europe. She also looks at the construction process in historical illustrations and draws comparisons with Arabic architecture. Last but not least, she shows what types of compasses existed and how the drawing skills of master builders developed up to the Renaissance. The insights into the history of architecture lead to surprising findings: The architects of the Middle Ages thought and planned very differently than we imagine today.Voir livre

This course helps you refine your Spanish pronunciation and develop an authentic accent.

You’ll start with Spanish phonetics, mastering vowel consistency, consonant articulation, and stress patterns. You'll learn the precise tongue placement, resonance, and breath control needed for accurate pronunciation. Key skills include producing pure vowels (without English diphthongs), articulating challenging sounds like the rolled "r" and soft "d," mastering Spanish stress and rhythm, and using natural intonation for statements, questions, and emotions. Through structured practice, including minimal pair exercises, you'll sharpen your ability to distinguish similar sounds and correct common pronunciation mistakes. You’ll also explore how culture influences accents, helping you connect more deeply with Spanish-speaking communities. A media study component teaches you how to improve pronunciation by learning from films, TV, music, and podcasts. The course wraps up with an in-depth look at major dialects, including Castilian, Caribbean, Mexican, Andean, and Rioplatense Spanish. Perfect for intermediate to advanced learners, accent reduction students, cultural immersion travelers, and professionals.Voir livre
Aging is a natural process that affects every living organism, yet the intricate mechanisms behind it remain one of biology's most profound mysteries. At its core, aging is the accumulation of changes in our bodies over time, leading to a gradual decline in physical and functional capabilities. This chapter delves into the foundational science of aging, exploring how it unfolds on a cellular and molecular level and the biological theories that attempt to explain it. One of the most noticeable aspects of aging is the way our cells behave as we grow older. Cellular aging is driven by several factors, including the shortening of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Each time a cell divides, telomeres become shorter, eventually leading to a state called senescence, where cells stop dividing altogether. Senescent cells can release harmful chemicals that contribute to inflammation and tissue damage, accelerating the aging process. Another key aspect of aging is the accumulation of cellular damage. Over time, cells are exposed to harmful agents such as free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced during normal metabolic processes. This damage, if not effectively repaired, can affect DNA, proteins, and cellular membranes, leading to the gradual breakdown of systems critical for maintaining health and vitality.Voir livre
