Vaastav main vaastu shashtra Kee Yeh amoolya bhaint manusha ko hamaare praacheen Rishi-Muniyon ne Vishvakarma ityaadi (vaastuvigyaan ke rachayita) ne di hai.

The pyramids of Egypt are such recognizable symbols of antiquity that for millennia, people have made assumptions about what they are and why they exist, without full consideration of the various meanings these ancient symbolic structures have had over the centuries. Generations have viewed them as symbols of a lost past, which in turn is often portrayed as a world full of romance and mystery.

Tras perder la audición de un oído al paso de una ambulancia, Gabi Martínez se preguntó cómo afecta el entorno urbano a nuestra salud. Este audiolibro, narrado por el autor, reflexiona sobre la necesidad de transformación de las ciudades ante un modelo urbano ya caduco y nos cuenta cómo se creó la idea de la supermanzana, uno de los conceptos urbanísticos más revolucionarios de las últimas décadas: su acogida, su implantación y las polémicas que generó.

Sie kennen das - ein neues Haus, ein Apartment oder ein neues Zimmer - immer sind dort diese vier kargen Wände und sie schreien geradezu nach Ihrer Aufmerksamkeit. Ein Haus ist schließlich mehr als nur vier Wände. Es ist ein Zuhause - der Ort, an dem Sie Ihre erste WG gründen, Zweisamkeit mit dem Partner genießen oder sogar Ihre Kinder großziehen. Was und wo auch immer Ihr Zuhause ist - Sie verdienen es, sich dort wohl zu fühlen. Und das geht nicht ohne Einrichtungskonzept.

Esplorare la geografia degli insediamenti ebraici in Italia significa percorrere quasi duemila anni di storia, imbattendosi in presenze ora sradicate per sempre, ora interrotte ma ripristinate dopo secoli, ora rimaste quasi immutate. Si comincia con le giudecche, i quartieri aperti dove gli ebrei si mescolavano ai cristiani, senza limitazioni, per arrivare ai ghetti, ovvero i quartieri chiusi da mura e portoni in cui gli ebrei vissero la loro separatezza fino ai tempi moderni.

Gerusalemme è dappertutto. Una presenza di cui l'Italia è investita per intero, grazie a un dialogo intessuto da secoli che trova espressione in ogni rigo della sua storia, in ogni pietra delle sue città. Una volta divenuti inaccessibili i Luoghi Santi, lembi di Terra Santa vennero infatti ricreati nel nostro paese. E intraprendere il cammino penitenziale attraverso santuari come il Sacro Monte di Varallo, il complesso delle Sette Chiese a Bologna, il Santo Volto di Lucca, San Vivaldo, Acquapendente nel Senese, il Santo Sepolcro di Brindisi significa ritrovarne le memorie.

Una reggia, un monumento celebrativo, un luogo di culto? L'appassionante enigma di Castel del Monte sembra fare tutt'uno con la personalità di colui che lo fece costruire, Federico II: imperatore cristiano, illuminista ante litteram, tiranno politico e legislatore egualitario, cultore delle scienze ed esoterista. Nella vicenda dell'Italia meridionale e del suo distacco dal resto della penisola, un filo rosso collega la politica ipercentralista di Federico II, con la sua splendida architettura castellana, e l'assenza di un'autonomia urbana nel Mezzogiorno.

No writer followed the building of the Freedom Tower more closely than Esquire’s Scott Raab. Between 2005 and 2015, Raab published a landmark 10-part series about the construction. He shadowed both the suits in their boardrooms and the hardhats in their earthmoving equipment, and chronicled it all in exquisite prose. While familiar names abound - Andrew Cuomo, Chris Christie, Mike Bloomberg and Larry Silverstein, the real estate developer who only a few weeks before 9/11 signed a 99-year, $3.2 billion lease on the World Trade Center - just as memorable are the not-so-famous.

The final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant, the victorious general in the Civil War and the 18th president of the United States, is a colossal neoclassical tomb located in the most dynamic city in the country. It is larger than the final resting place of any other president or any other person in America. Since its creation, the popularity and condition of this monument have reflected not only Grant's legacy in the public mind but also the state of New York City and of the Union. In this deeply researched book, presidential historian Louis L. Picone recounts the full story.

Supreme among the wonders of antiquity, unrivaled by the achievements of later architects and builders, the Great Pyramid of Gizeh bears mute witness to an unknown civilization which, having completed its predestined span, passed into oblivion. Eloquent in its silence, inspiring in its majesty, divine in its simplicity, the Great Pyramid is indeed a sermon in stone.

La población urbana se duplicará en cuarenta años, algo que obliga a la transformación holística y sostenible del modelo de ciudad. Para Martha Thorne, decana de IE School of Architecture and Design y directora ejecutiva del Pritzker Architecture Prize, el gran reto de la arquitectura está en su capacidad para hacer metrópolis, que serán más densas y poseerán una alta calidad urbana y una mayor calidad de vida para los residentes.

Nein, ein Tischkicker reicht nicht: Wenn Mitarbeiter innovative Ideen entwickeln und vernetzt arbeiten sollen, dann brauchen Sie eine Arbeitsumgebung, die echten Austausch ermöglicht. Irene Graf und Rainer Petek zeigen in ihrem Buch, welche Raumkonzepte nicht nur die Kommunikation und Zusammenarbeit, sondern auch die Innovationskraft fördern. Kreativ und innovativ. Dazu besuchten die beratende Ingenieurin und der Strategic Advisor viele Unternehmen an dem Ort, der der Inbegriff von Kreativität und Innovation ist: das Silicon Valley.

In addition to being one of the ancient wonders of the world, the Great Pyramid of Giza is extraordinary for a number of reasons. It is one of the greatest feats of engineering in the ancient world, to the extent that it remained the tallest built structure in the world from the time it was finished up until the Lincoln Cathedral was completed around 1300 CE.

This audiobook is about ancient tunnels and underground cities. From the previous research I’ve done on related topics, I do strongly believe that these findings are related to ancient civilizations which we know existed from ruins on the Earth. Some of these findings are stories that have more evidence to prove they are real than others. This is why I’ve divided this book up into two parts.
