Sinossi

Tallest Skyscrapers explores the architectural and engineering marvels of the world's record-breaking buildings. It examines how skyscrapers push the boundaries of structural possibility while incorporating sustainable design, reflecting humanity's innovation and shaping urban landscapes. The book explains essential concepts like wind resistance and seismic design, tracing skyscraper development from its historical roots to present-day technological advancements in materials science and construction techniques. The book uniquely blends architectural aesthetics with engineering principles, highlighting the collaborative construction process. Case studies of prominent skyscrapers, such as the Burj Khalifa, illustrate unique design features and construction challenges. The book is structured in three sections, beginning with fundamental architectural and engineering concepts, then case studies of prominent skyscrapers, and finally, it explores the future of skyscraper design and sustainable construction. This book provides a holistic account of skyscraper design, making complex concepts understandable for architecture enthusiasts, engineering students, and anyone interested in design and technology. It further discusses the practical implications of various technologies and designs. By examining ongoing debates about the environmental impact of skyscrapers, Tallest Skyscrapers empowers readers to critically assess these structures' role in shaping our world.

    Read by the author. 
    Give the gift of funny to anyone in your life (maybe even yourself!) who could use a dose of irreverent humor about why work stinks. 
    Customers want you to magically produce something from the back room. Bosses schedule you on your day off. Corporate policies are mandated that make zero practical sense. Sound familiar? 
    If you've ever worked in customer service (or any job, really), you know that everyone else—the customer, the boss, the company—is always right, and never the employee. Well, lucky for you, the "Angry Retail Guy" is more furious—and funnier—than ever in this hilariously unhinged guide to all the things we wish we could say out loud at work . . . without getting fired. In The Customer Is Always Wrong, you'll laugh (and maybe cry) at this rant-filled, illustrated attack on all the frustrating things that suck about work. 
    Expanding on the ire-filled, laugh-out-loud viral videos that have made him a (whispered) workplace name, Scott Seiss joyfully eviscerates not only overbearing customers but every annoying aspect of work like purposeless job interview questions, debatable brand values, and the walking human trainwrecks that are our bosses. Scott guides you all the way from first applying to the job, to inevitably gritting your teeth and smiling on your last day when that one manager you despise says, “Come back and visit us!” 
    The Customer Is Always Wrong is for anyone who:Is tired of their "raise" being as close as scientifically possible to 0 percentWants to tell their boss that not even the self-checkout machines want to work hereIs prepared to tell the next customer who asks to see the manager that the manager has no idea what's going on eitherCalls in sick whenever their PTO request is deniedBelieves entering a store five minutes before it closes should be illegalExplains, on a weekly basis, why someone can't use a coupon that expired 17 years agoIs physically repulsed by the phrase, "At this company, we're a family. . . ." 
      
    This tongue-in-cheek commiseration for workers will make you laugh out loud at the things that drive you crazy in the workplace. With Scott's signature rants, funny anecdotes, and absurd musings, this book celebrates and empowers underpaid and overworked employees with an uproarious ode to what we really think about our jobs and the customers that come with them (except the ones who read this book, of course).

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    The Earth-Child in the Grass and Other Poems presents twenty of Katherine Mansfield’s most luminous and intimate poems in a carefully crafted audio edition that honors both their lyric delicacy and emotional depth. Written with Mansfield’s characteristic sensitivity to childhood, memory, solitude, and fleeting moments of perception, these poems reveal a lesser-known but deeply resonant side of one of modernism’s most beloved writers. 
    This collection includes A Little Girl’s Prayer, The Lonesome Child, Very Early Spring, When I Was a Bird, The Quarrel, The Earth-Child in the Grass, and fourteen other poems that trace the inner landscapes of innocence, longing, and quiet wonder. Mansfield’s poetic voice—simple on the surface, profound beneath—comes alive through attentive narration and thoughtful interpretation. 
    Each poem is accompanied by an original spoken analysis, offering insight into Mansfield’s imagery, themes, and emotional nuance, while preserving the subtlety of her art. The poems are narrated by AI Voice Willow, whose clear, gentle delivery reflects the intimacy and restraint of Mansfield’s verse. The project is directed by A. M. Bly, who also composed and performed the original piano underscore for each poem. The music does not intrude but moves alongside the poetry, enhancing mood and atmosphere with restraint and grace. 
    Designed for listeners who cherish literary depth and reflective listening, this audiobook offers a contemplative experience in which poetry, analysis, and music are woven into a unified whole—an invitation to listen closely, linger, and rediscover the quiet power of Katherine Mansfield’s poetry.

    The artistic creations made between about the 1860s and the 1970s are considered modern art. According to history, a Frenchman named Edouard Manet witnessed modern art in the 18th century. However, it was thought that the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had begun modern painting before the Frenchman, given the works they produced throughout the 18th and 19th centuries lacked the typical academic art forms. Following the Pre-Raphaelites, various changes and movements occurred in the field of art.
