Sinopse

Gran Torre Santiago explores how one skyscraper became a symbol of Chile's modern aspirations and complex societal dynamics. The book examines the architectural, economic, and social facets of the tower, South America's tallest building, set against the backdrop of Chile's transition to democracy and its embrace of neoliberal policies. It reveals how the tower pushed engineering boundaries in a seismically active region, leading to innovative construction techniques.

 
Furthermore, the project mirrored Chile's ambition for economic growth, sparking debates about modernization and inequality. The book adopts a comprehensive approach, initially detailing the architectural concepts and engineering challenges. It then analyzes the economic and political factors that enabled the Costanera Center project, addressing controversies surrounding its financing.

 
Finally, it explores the social and cultural impact of the Gran Torre Santiago, considering its role in shaping Santiago's urban landscape. Through architectural plans, economic data, and interviews, the book presents a nuanced perspective on the tower's significance. It argues that the Gran Torre Santiago embodies both Chile's aspirations for modernity and the persistent social tensions within the nation, making it a microcosm of the country's evolving identity in the 21st century.

    From acclaimed literary biographer Claire Tomalin, a complex and fascinating exploration of the early life of the influential writer and public figure H. G. Wells 
     
     
     
    How did the first forty years of H. G. Wells's life shape the father of science fiction? 
     
     
     
    From his impoverished childhood in a working-class English family and determination to educate himself at any cost to his complicated marriages, love affair with socialism, and the serious ill health that dominated his twenties and thirties, H. G. Wells's extraordinary early life would set him on a path to become one of the world's most influential writers. The sudden success of The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds transformed his life and catapulted him to international fame; he became the writer who most inspired Orwell and countless others and predicted men walking on the moon seventy years before it happened. 
     
     
     
    In this remarkable, empathetic biography, Claire Tomalin paints a fascinating portrait of a man like no other, driven by curiosity and desiring reform, a socialist and a futurist whose new and imaginative worlds continue to inspire today.

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    The issues in this ebook concern various aspects of protecting your family and home and related ideas is organised into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about their safety.  
    There has always been an unacceptable amount of burglary. It is such a harrowing experience to be burgled. People are forced to accept that they are not safe even in their own homes. 
    In the days of larger families, it was not easy for the burglar. There was always someone at home, and usually several people. Burglars would be detected and easily overpowered. Nowadays, on the other hand, many people live alone, and many of those are elderly baby-boomers. 
    It can induce a permanent state of worry and anxiety. 
    One way around this, is to implement a home security system. They are actually quiet affordable now too. A decent home security system, coupled with friendly neighbours, is an affordable solution. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first. 
    In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.
