  • Farrar, Straus and Giroux | 6/4/2019 Surprise That Borders Have Become So Porous
    Losing Earth A Recent History Nathaniel Rich An instant classic: the most urgent story of our times, brilliantly reframed, beautifully told By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change—including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story, and ours. The New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon—the subject of news coverage, editorials, and SCIENCE conversations all over the world.

  • Obit Magazine
    Alternate Obituaries by Matt Blanchard APRIL 26, 2011 Maybe someday every obituary will be as honest as Steve Almond’s, but let’s hope not. In 24 inches of unblinking newsprint it is revealed that Almond was a middling writer with crippled dreams, that students in his writing course found him creepy in a sexual way, and that his death came “after a long battle with hope.” Was Almond survived by an adoring family? Not exactly: … He was a loving but distracted father who was eager to please his two children, but often felt he could not reach them. He depended on his wife for support and grew resentful toward her because of this dependence. She, in turn, retreated from his hostility. This is not the form obituaries take in our culture, but it could be. Almond’s is one of 44 alternative obituaries gathered from writers, comedians, sculptors and video artists for “Let It End Like This,” a Tribeca gallery show reimagining a genre that traditionally conceals as much as it reveals. Contributors include the writer Susan Orlean, the electronic musician Moby, feminist and Six Feet Under script writer Jill Soloway, and legendary Saturday Night Live comedy writer Alan Zweibel (creator of Roseanne Roseannadanna, among other sketches), who tacked up a simple paper headstone communicating a kind of posthumous Portnoy’s complaint: Alan Zweibel Writer-Husband-Father 1950-2045 If you can read this, it means you are standing 6 ft. above my former penis “Let It End Like This” runs to May 14th at Apexart in Tribeca, and is almost too diverse to characterize.

  • Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018
    Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities.
