From the bestselling author of Skyscrapers, the behind-the-scenes story of the most extraordinary building in the world: One World Trade Center. The new World Trade Center represents one of the most complex collaborations in human history. Nearly every state in the nation, a dozen countries around the world, and more than 25,000 workers helped raise the tower, which consumed ninety million pounds of steel, one million square feet of glass, and enough concrete to pave a sidewalk from New York to Chicago. With more than seventy interviews with the people most intimately involved, and unprecedented access to the building site, suppliers, and archives, Duprè unfurls the definitive story of fourteen years of conflict and controversy-and its triumphant resolution. This fascinating, oversize book delivers new insight into the 1,776-foot-tall engineering marvel, from design and excavation through the final placement of its spire. It offers: Access to the minds of world-class architects, engineers, ironworkers, and other tradespeople Panoramas of New York from One World Observatory-1,268 feet above the earth Dramatic cutaways that show the building's advanced structural technologies A time-lapse montage showing the evolution of the sixteen-acre site Chronologies tracking design, construction, and financial milestones, with rare historic photographs It also features extensive tour of the entire Trade Center, including in-depth chapters on Two, Three, Four, and Seven World Trade Center; the National September 11 Memorial & Museum; Liberty Park; St. Nicholas National Shrine; and the soaring Transportation Hub.

La ópera 'no es una reliquia del pasado'; es un mundo vivo en el que se reflejan los cambios culturales y sociales. Así lo demuestra Tomás Marco en esta ambiciosa cartografía mundial del genero que recorre el último siglo y cuarto, aproximadamente, de su historia. De Puccini, Strauss y Janác?ek hasta Pedro Halffter, Michel van der Aa, Toshio Hosokawa o Rachel Peters, pasando por Schönberg, Britten o Stockhausen, a lo largo de estas páginas asistimos, fascinados, a la disolución de su forma decimonónica hasta sus mutaciones más experimentales. No se había escrito antes una obra de esta envergadura sobre la ópera de nuestros días. 'Durante el siglo XX, todo, sometido a una presión tremenda, saltó por los aires. Fue una lucha sin cuartel. Había que encontrar nuevos caminos que permitieran la supervivencia del genero. Se siguieron viejas fórmulas, se crearon otras nuevas, algunos creyeron que la ópera estaba muerta, que ya no servía, y se negaron a componer obras líricas; otros -la mayoría- aceptaron el reto y consiguieron en algunos casos resultados formidables.

Rafe and Heide discovered their true home in a late 1800s New England farmhouse after a decade of living in Brooklyn, New York. The historic property, Ellsworth, is a showplace for their shared aesthetic and sensibility of designing for real life, and not for formality. At the core is a house of pared-down traditionalism with references to Shaker tranquility, Arts & Crafts practicality, and bohemian chic. Whimsical wallcoverings, striking colors, a mix of contemporary furniture and antiques, exciting works of art, and comfort abound—turning a workaday house from the nineteenth century into a creative laboratory of the twenty-first.
