Zustand: Good. Purgatory Mount is mind-blowing. - Adrian Tchaikovsky An interstellar craft is decelerating after its century-long voyage. Its destination is V538 Aurigae ?, a now-empty planet dominated by one gigantic megastructure, a conical mountain of such height that its summit is high above the atmosphere. The ship's crew of five hope to discover how the long-departed builders made such a colossal thing, and why: a space elevator? a temple? a work of art? Its resemblance to the mountain of purgatory lead the crew to call this world Dante. In our near future, the United States is falling apart. A neurotoxin has interfered with the memory function of many of the population, leaving them reliant on their phones as makeshift memory prostheses. But life goes on. For Ottoline Barragao, a regular kid juggling school and her friends and her beehives in the back garden, things are about to get very dangerous, chased across the north-east by competing groups, each willing to do whatever it takes to get inside Ottoline's private network and recover the secret inside. Purgatory Mount, Adam Roberts's first SF novel for three years, combines wry space opera and a fast-paced thriller in equal measure. It is a novel about memory and atonement, about exploration and passion, and like all of Roberts's novels it's not quite like anything else. Shortlisted for the 2021 BSFA award for Best Novel!; In goede staat.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In January 1916, a violent storm surge ripped through the Zuiderzee, swallowing villages and terrifying the Netherlands. The catastrophic flooding exposed the absolute vulnerability of a nation living below sea level. In the devastating aftermath, the Dutch decided they would no longer simply fight the water-they would banish the sea itself.How does a small country in the early 20th century undertake the impossible task of physically closing off a volatile inland sea from the ocean The answer was the Afsluitdijk, a 32-kilometer-long dam built straight across open, treacherous waters. It was a project born of sheer survival instinct, requiring innovations in fluid dynamics and heavy engineering that had never been attempted in human history.This gripping historical documentary delves into the mud, the math, and the sheer audacity behind this megastructure. It follows the brilliant visionary Cornelis Lely and the thousands of laborers who battled unpredictable tides, sinking foundations, and brutal weather to force the ocean back.Discover the incredible true story of how humanity won one of its greatest victories against nature, fundamentally altering the geography of Europe and securing the future of millions against the crushing weight of the sea.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The iconic architecture of the brutalist modernist megastructure of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada built by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1960s is the site of the artistic research project into the history of this 'radical campus' and its built environment by Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. The collaborative research group, 'Guests and Hosts', formed by Bitter & Weber and Métis scholar June Scudeler including Métis scholar and student Treena Chambers, Kanien'kehá:ka Mohawk student Toni-Leah Yake, as well as Rachel Warwick and Hannah Campbell, has challenged the narrative of the radical campus, so called because it was informed by experimental concepts of learning and teaching. Using the spaces of a settler colonial institution, the project shifts perspectives by unsettling and challenging western-based concepts of pedagogy and knowledge. Combining archival photographic material, architectural photographs by the artists, and interventions into the institutional spaces by Guests and Hosts, the project performs the claim for places rather than spaces for Indigenous ways of knowing and learning.Texts: Treena Chambers, June Scudeler with Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. The series Bildungsmoderne/educational Modernism is published in cooperation with Edition Camera Austria, Graz. The book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Bildungsschock - Lernen, Politik und Architektur in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren, 29. January 2021 - 2. May 2021, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Tokyo's seemingly endless sea of buildings has grown incrementally over the past centuries, leading to an urban condition that is both coherent and contradictory at the same time. The understanding of Tokyo as a continuous and interdependent urban complex is a much-neglected perspective in previous readings of the city. An attachment to the land, strong civic commitment, and a deep appreciation of the immaterial has produced a nested megastructure of smaller communities. These places have all evolved in a related way, briefly and temporarily disrupted by earthquakes and a devastating war. Over time, a set of distinct urban patterns emerged through centralization processes, the 'manshon urbanization,' the relocation of various types of manufacturing, and other developments. What might appear homogeneous in composition and rhythm is in fact a configuration of distinctly different spaces, created by the routines of everyday life that make the district of Shinjuku different from Shimokitazawa or Kitamoto. This book not only provides the first comprehensive reading of the many urbanization processes shaping Tokyo today, but also seeks an entirely new approach for looking at megacity regions: through their differences, and the way those differences are are produced in the course of everyday life.Jovis Verlag GmbH, Lützowstraße 33, 10785 Berlin 304 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When the Hawking Institute discovers an impossible distortion far beyond Tau Ceti's settled worlds, Captain Daniel Mercer and the crew of the Pathfinder vessel Endeavour are hired to determine whether it is a new jump point.What they find is stranger: a branching route through space, unlike anything humanity has ever mapped before.The first path opens into an unknown system with a habitable planet, ancient ruins, buried artefacts, and evidence of a catastrophe on a scale no human civilisation has ever faced. As Endeavour's crew follows the evidence from planet to moon to broken megastructure, exploration becomes archaeology, archaeology becomes warning, and the greatest discovery in human history becomes the beginning of a far larger mystery.Because Enigma is not just a discovery.It is a warning from the past.And humanity has just opened the door.
