    A two-time Pulitzer finalist explores the story of American urban design through San Francisco's iconic Ferry Building. 
     
     
     
    Conceived in the Gilded Age, the Ferry Building opened in 1898 as San Francisco's portal to the world—the terminus of the transcontinental railway and a showcase of civic ambition. In silent films and World's Fair postcards, nothing said "San Francisco" more than its soaring clock tower. But as acclaimed architectural critic John King recounts, the rise of the automobile and double-deck freeways severed the city from its beloved structure. King's narrative spans the rise and fall and rebirth of the Ferry Building, introducing colorful figures who fought to preserve its character (and the city's soul)—from architect Arthur Page Brown and legendary columnist Herb Caen to poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Senator Dianne Feinstein. A microcosm of the changing American waterfront, the saga of the Ferry Building explores the tensions of tourism and development—and the threat that sea level rise poses to a landmark that in the twenty-first century remains as vital as ever.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    "Reservoir Dogs" is a 1992 crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The story follows a group of criminals who are brought together to carry out a diamond heist, only for the plan to go horribly wrong. After the botched job, the gang members, who know each other only by color-coded aliases, begin to suspect that one of them is an undercover cop. The film focuses on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and violence, featuring sharp dialogue, non-linear storytelling, and intense character development. Tarantino’s unique style combines humor with brutal action, creating a tense and gripping atmosphere. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The film's budget was so low that many of the actors were asked to bring their own clothing. For example, Chris Penn wore his own track jacket, while Steve Buscemi wore black jeans instead of suit pants. Michael Madsen wore a jacket and pants from two different suits.” 
      
    “Madonna, who is referenced in the opening conversation of the film, liked the movie but disagreed with Quentin Tarantino's interpretation of her song "Like a Virgin". She gave him a signed copy of her album "Erotica" with the note: "To Quentin. It's not about dick, it's about love." 
      
    “Due to budget constraints, the production couldn't afford police assistance for traffic control. In one scene, Steve Buscemi hijacks a woman's car, but the scene could only be filmed when the traffic lights were green.”

    Deng Xiaoping’s rise to power is a tale marked by perseverance, political acumen, and the ability to navigate the turbulent political landscape of 20th-century China. Born in 1904 in the Sichuan province, Deng’s early life was shaped by his education in France, where he studied at the University of Paris. His exposure to Marxist ideas during this time laid the foundation for his later role in the Chinese Communist Party. Upon his return to China, Deng became an important figure in the party’s early years, rising through the ranks as a trusted leader. 
    Deng’s political career began during the Second Sino-Japanese War, where he served in key military roles, building his reputation as a capable leader. However, it was during the Chinese Civil War that Deng truly began to cement his place in the party hierarchy. His involvement in the revolution and his leadership of various military campaigns helped to solidify his standing as a rising star in the Communist Party. Despite the chaos and upheaval surrounding the war, Deng’s strategic thinking and leadership made him an indispensable figure in the fight against both the Japanese and later the Nationalists. 
    After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Deng continued to rise through the ranks of the Communist Party, serving in various influential positions. However, his career was not without its setbacks. During the Cultural Revolution, a political movement led by Mao Zedong, Deng fell out of favor and was purged from his positions of power. He was sent to work on a farm, and his political influence was effectively diminished. Yet, despite these challenges, Deng’s political resilience would eventually lead to his return to power.
