Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Set in New Orleans, this important and powerful novel follows the Boisdoré family . . . in the months after Katrina. A profound, moving and authentically detailed picture of the storm’s emotional impact on those who lived through it.” —People In this dazzling debut about family, home, and grief, C. Morgan Babst takes readers into the heart of Hurricane Katrina and the life of a great city. As the storm is fast approaching the Louisiana coast, Cora Boisdoré refuses to leave the city. Her parents, Joe Boisdoré, an artist descended from freed slaves who became the city’s preeminent furniture makers, and his white “Uptown” wife, Dr. Tess Eshleman, are forced to evacuate without her, setting off a chain of events that leaves their marriage in shambles and Cora catatonic—the victim or perpetrator of some violence mysterious even to herself. This mystery is at the center of Babst’s haunting and profound novel. Cora’s sister, Del, returns to New Orleans from the successful life she built in New York City to find her hometown in ruins and her family deeply alienated from one another. As Del attempts to figure out what happened to her sister, she must also reckon with the racial history of the city and the trauma of a disaster that was not, in fact, some random act of God but an avoidable tragedy visited on New Orleans’s most vulnerable citizens. Separately and together, each member of the Boisdoré clan must find the strength to remake home in a city forever changed. The Floating World is the Katrina story that needed to be told—one with a piercing, unforgettable loveliness and a vivid, intimate understanding of this particular place and its tangled past.

Download or read book Venetian Renaissance Fortifications in the Mediterranean written by Dragoş Cosmescu and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renaissance was a revolution of ideas, arts and sciences alike, with Italy at its center. Venice was among the first states to embrace new concepts in fortification, which would dominate military architecture for centuries. In the age of large galley fleets and an expanding Ottoman Empire, the mighty defenses of the Republic of Venice protected faraway territories in the Mediterranean, and some of the largest and best preserved Renaissance fortifications are found on the former Venetian islands. This book illustrates in detail the impressive defenses of Cyprus, Crete and Corfu, their design and their war record. Walled towns and fortresses were constructed to the latest standards of military technology, with walls capable of withstanding the largest armies and the longest sieges, including the longest in history--22 years.

Download or read book Urban Transport XXI written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Transport XXI contains the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. The series of annual conferences organised by the Wessex Institute was first held in 1995. Transportation in urban areas, with its related environmental and social impacts, is a topic of significant concern for policymakers in both municipal and central government and for the urban citizens who need effective and efficient transport systems. Urban transport systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impacts and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban centres. Clearly the challenge of providing effective and efficient transport systems in urban settings remains an acute concern, with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transport system planners and operators to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by the public. Papers cover such topics as: Urban Transport Planning and Management; Urban Transport Strategies; Public Transport Systems; Environmental Aspects; Economic and Social Impact; Safety and Security; Travel Behaviour Studies; Customer Satisfaction; Transportation Modelling and Simulation; Infrastructure Development; Intelligent and Advanced Transport Systems; Transportation Integration; City Logistics; Resilience and Inter-modal Transport Systems; Mass Transport Strategies; Social Impacts; Freight Transport; Railway Systems; Transport Governance and Administration; Port and City; Mobility and Public Space; Life Cycle Management.

Download or read book A Renaissance Architecture of Power written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of princely states in early Renaissance Italy brought a thorough renewal to the old seats of power. One of the most conspicuous outcomes of this process was the building or rebuilding of new court palaces, erected as prestigious residences in accord with the new ‘classical’ principles of Renaissance architecture. The novelties, however, went far beyond architectural forms: they involved the reorganisation of courtly interiors and their functions, new uses for the buildings, and the relationship between the palaces and their surroundings. The whole urban setting was affected by these processes, and therefore the social, residential and political customs of its inhabitants. This is the focus of A Renaissance Architecture of Power, which aims to analyse from a comparative perspective the evolution of Italian court palaces in the Renaissance in their entirety. Contributors are Silvia Beltramo, Flavia Cantatore, Bianca de Divitiis, Emanuela Ferretti, Marco Folin, Giulio Girondi, Andrea Longhi, Marco Rosario Nobile, Aurora Scotti, Elena Svalduz, and Stefano Zaggia.

This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 1856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il Codice dei contratti pubblici annotato con la giurisprudenza è stato concepito come importante strumento di agevole consultazione per gli operatori che intendono individuare, per ciascuna disposizione del D.Lgs. 163/2006, la preziosa, ricca ed articolata interpretazione fornita dai giudici amministrativi. L’oggettiva complessità di questa materia, il suo peculiare tecnicismo, la consistenza degli interessi economici coinvolti ed i rilevanti profili di responsabilità per i soggetti impegnati nel ciclo della commessa pubblica, rendono oramai ineludibile la conoscenza non solo delle norme scritte ma pure del “diritto vivente”. L’opera, che si presenta arricchita da utili richiami alle corrispondenti disposizioni attuative contenute nel Regolamento di cui al DPR 207/2010, in questa terza edizione tiene conto della più recente produzione giurisprudenziale e delle numerose ed importanti modifiche al Codice intervenute con la spending review (L.94/2012, L.135/2012), la legge anticorruzione (L.190/2012), i decreti “del fare” (L.98/2013), “destinazione Italia” (D.L. 145/2012) e la legge di stabilità 2014 (L.147/2013). L’indice analitico ragionato e, in appendice, il citato Regolamento e la prassi amministrativa completano il volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con D.Lgs n. 36/2023 è stato approvato il nuovo Codice dei Contratti Pubblici, in attuazione del PNRR e delle stringenti scadenze imposte per la sua attuazione scadenze. Tante le novità di interesse a partire dalla codificazione dei nuovi principi del sistema appalti. Tre i fondamentali: risultato, fiducia ed accesso al mercato. La Digitalizzazione diventa il cuore delle procedure d’appalto: Banca Dati Nazionale, Fascicolo Virtuale e Piattaforma Digitale gli istituti centrali. Salgono le soglie per gli affidamenti diretti, entra il subappalto a cascata e ritorna l’appalto integrato. La progettazione viene semplificata e ridotta per i lavori a soli due livelli: progetto di fattibilità e progetto esecutivo. Tra nuovo e vecchio Codice è stato però introdotto un periodo transitorio che terminerà a gennaio 2024. Nel frattempo con D.L. del 29 maggio è già stato approvato il primo correttivo al Codice, mentre il Decreto Alluvioni di qualche giorno prima ha anticipato l’entrata in vigore dell’art. 140 per gli interventi di protezione civile. Il commentario ragionato, con il contributo di molti autori, intende fornire articolo per articolo una prima lettura del Nuovo Codice con un raffronto con il Codice del 2016, una attenzione particolare alla fase transitoria ed alle problematiche applicative che vengono illustrate istituto per istituto con apposite FAQ.

Download or read book Everybody Belongs written by Arthur Shapiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evil prosthesis of Captain Hook, the comical speech of Porky Pig, and the bumbling antics of Mr. Magoo are all examples of images in our culture which can become the basis of negative attitudes and subliminal prejudice towards persons with disabilities. These attitudes influence and underlie discriminatory acts, resulting in negative treatment and segregation. A teacher's ability to recognize and counter such images may well determine the success of inclusion and mainstreaming programs in our schools and society. Well-researched and well-written, this book offers practical guidance as grounded in solid research to schools that are wrestling with how to mainstream children with disabilities.
