Download or read book Yasmeen Lari written by Angelika Fitz and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich exploration of the extraordinary life and work of celebrated architect Yasmeen Lari, winner of the 2023 RIBA Royal Gold Medal. After more than three decades as a renowned global architect, Yasmeen Lari, the first woman to open her own architecture firm in Pakistan in 1964, developed Zero Carbon Architecture, which unites ecological and social justice. This volume, edited by Angelika Fitz, Elke Krasny, and Marvi Mazhar, presents Lari’s trajectory from exemplary modernist to zero carbon revolutionary, with a focus on her remarkable contributions to the global architectural movement to decarbonize and decolonize. The book includes extensive photographs, drawings, and plans from Lari’s archive, most of which have not previously been shown or published. Lari’s architectural thinking and activism have always gone beyond the quest for a singular built solution. Rather, she strategically plans systemic approaches and solutions, be it for housing, a heritage foundation, or zero-carbon shelters with communities at risk. Original essays from diverse international contributors contextualize Lari’s work; investigate architecture and the postimperial, postcolonial, and postpartition condition; and examine the intersections of architecture and human rights, climate change, decolonization, gender, care, activism, and vernacular innovation. More than a tribute to Yasmeen Lari’s extraordinary career, this volume brings her legacy forward and shows how to create change today.

Download or read book Yaser and Yasmeen written by Saleh Radaideh and published by Saleh Radaideh. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yaser and his friends sacrificed their lives not only for love, but to redeem the whole world. There were no limits they hadn't crossed to attain the needed goal of happiness. They had lost everything in their lives due to much of their bad conduct. After witnessing the whole world descend to the darkness of sorrow, they took it upon themselves to be saviors of humanity. Besides being a love story between Yaser and Yasmeen, it is also a tale of how four friends were able not only to inspire love on Earth, but also to redeem the people of all layers of Hell into Heaven. By doing so, they had angered not only the police force on Earth, but also all the demons in the afterlife. These four friends went on crazy adventures, always thirsting for the experience of life and fun. They sought out pleasure despite boredom, and joy despite sorrow. Throughout the story, they formed a musical cult with odd rituals and customs. After spending much time in this cult, they eventually expanded it to spray paint slogans of love all throughout the city of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Eventually, in the afterlife, they had dialogues and fights with demons, struggling to save themselves from the fire and misery beneath in hell. After much struggle and suffering, they ended up changing not only things on Earth, but the circumstances in the life after death. And with much striving for peace and serenity, Heaven was a final destination. An Excerpt from Yaser and Yasmeen: It seemed that the one thing people would never dare Was to truly and fully, never really care For if progress will never come there was no point in fast paced movement And so we resorted to the ways of fast attained amusement Sometimes I got this nervous shiver in my back And then I realized I was stupid and that I needed to relax And this would happen in a mall, and in a strange kind of formality I began to admit that such malls are a different form of a reality We shopped for things that we wear through one week And then when the strands of the clothes look crappy, or kind of weak We went about buying more things with this motive driven by greed We went about buying things, as though they were legacies, to pass on to our seed And that was why Basim and I would go out on a journey embarked And we’d go to such a beautiful and greenly decorated park And upon smoking the hookah we spoke words which may heal sadness And in our talks, we talked of our main goal, of attaining true happiness For we realized that the whole world was in a type of repression It seemed that it was normal to have some sort of depression Whenever I said I was depressed, all my friends at me would laugh They told me the whole world felt shitty, if you’d but do the math

Download or read book Nightmare Scenario written by Yasmeen Abutaleb and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller From the Washington Post journalists Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta—the definitive account of the Trump administration’s tragic mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the chaos, incompetence, and craven politicization that has led to more than a half million American deaths and counting. Since the day Donald Trump was elected, his critics warned that an unexpected crisis would test the former reality-television host—and they predicted that the president would prove unable to meet the moment. In 2020, that crisis came to pass, with the outcomes more devastating and consequential than anyone dared to imagine. Nightmare Scenario is the complete story of Donald Trump’s handling—and mishandling—of the COVID-19 catastrophe, during the period of January 2020 up to Election Day that year. Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta take us deep inside the White House, from the Situation Room to the Oval Office, to show how the members of the administration launched an all-out war against the health agencies, doctors, and scientific communities, all in their futile attempts to wish away the worst global pandemic in a century. From the initial discovery of this new coronavirus, President Trump refused to take responsibility, disputed the recommendations of his own pandemic task force, claimed the virus would “just disappear,” mocked advocates for safe-health practices, and encouraged his base and the entire GOP to ignore or rescind public health safety measures. Abutaleb and Paletta reveal the numerous times officials tried to dissuade Trump from following his worst impulses as he defied recommendations from the experts and even members of his own administration. And they show how the petty backstabbing and rivalries among cabinet members, staff, and aides created a toxic environment of blame, sycophancy, and political pressure that did profound damage to the public health institutions that Americans needed the most during this time. Even after an outbreak in the fall that swept through the White House and infected Trump himself, he remained defiant in his approach to the virus, very likely costing him his own reelection. Based on exhaustive reporting and hundreds of hours of interviews from inside the disaster zone at all levels of authority, Nightmare Scenario is a riveting account of how the United States government failed its people as never before, a tragedy whose devastating aftershocks will linger and be felt by generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali. You just saw a little boxing and a little showmanship. You saw only a part of me. After I retired from boxing my true work began. I have embarked on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding." So Muhammad Ali begins this spiritual memoir, his description of the values that have shaped and sustained him and that continue to guide his life. In The Soul of a Butterfly the great champion takes listeners on a spiritual journey through the seasons of life, from childhood to the present, and shares the beliefs that have served him well. After fighting some of the fiercest bouts in boxing history against Joe Frazier and George Foreman, today Muhammad Ali faces his most powerful foe--outside the boxing ring. Like many people, he battles an illness that limits his physical abilities, but as he says, "I have gained more than I have lost ... I have never had a more powerful voice than I have now." Ali reflects on his faith in God and the strength it gave him during his greatest challenge, when he lost the prime years of his boxing career because he would not compromise his beliefs. Written with the assistance of his daughter Hana, The Soul of a Butterfly will provide comfort for our troubled times.
