  The first book to celebrate the miniature-scale model The Panorama of the City of New York.
  An awe-inspiring metropolis in miniature, The Panorama of the City of New York has achieved cult-like status with New Yorkers and serves as a locus of memory for visitors from around the globe. This is the first book to fully celebrate The Panorama, featuring accessible text and photographs of its conception, creation, and enjoyment.
  The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the 1964–65 World's Fair, with millions enjoying what was billed as an indoor helicopter tour of New York. Comprising an area of 9,335 square feet and built to a scale of 1:1200 (where one inch equals 100 feet), the original 1964 mini city was updated multiple times before its last renovation in 1992. Within the 320 square miles of New York City represented on The Panorama, you can find 850,000 buildings, more than 100 bridges, and almost all of the city's parks and streets.
  Now part of the permanent exhibition at the Queens Museum, the Panorama brings the magic of New York to life to thousands of visitors each year.

  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
  "Never Enough" by Jennifer Breheny Wallace delves into the high-pressure world of today's students, who strive relentlessly for success and often find themselves overwhelmed. This book explores the pervasive culture of toxic achievement, where students pack their schedules with activities and face intense competition, leading to rising rates of anxiety and depression. 
  Wallace investigates the origins of this culture and its deep-seated roots in society, driven by income inequality and limited opportunities. Through interviews and research, the book highlights how children are absorbing the message that their worth is solely tied to their accomplishments. 
  However, "Never Enough" offers a different perspective, emphasizing the importance of children feeling like they matter intrinsically, regardless of their external achievements. It advocates for parents and educators to adopt a mindset that values a child's sense of self-worth and contribution to a larger community. By doing so, the book argues, children can develop resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security. 
  With insightful stories and practical guidance, "Never Enough" provides an urgent and humane perspective on the challenges facing today's teenagers and offers a framework for positive change in how we nurture and support them.

  How China’s next wave of innovation is reshaping the global balance of power 
   
  For decades, China’s economic rise has been symbolized by the unstoppable force of low-cost manufacturing. Today, a new and far more disruptive wave of competition is unfolding, one that threatens not just Western manufacturing but also the West’s geopolitical dominance. 
   
  In Global Tech Wars, Financial Times’ veteran journalist James Kynge delivers a gripping analysis of China’s rapid technological ascent. No longer confined to low-end goods, China is now leading in cutting-edge industries: artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, surveillance technology, robotics, and more. Big Western corporations are facing multiple disruptive shocks. 
   
  What does this mean for the future? Will China’s technological leadership translate into global geopolitical dominance? Drawing on deep research, exclusive interviews, and firsthand insights, Kynge unpacks the seismic shifts already underway—shifts that will redefine economies, industries, and global power structures in the years ahead. 
   
  With expert analysis and urgent storytelling, Global Tech Wars is an essential listen for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our future.
