The ground level will include a lush central garden courtyard and further amenities will be situated on the skybridges, with higher floors hosting rooftop garden terraces boasting choice views over the cityscape. Finally, Tower Three will host 50 floors and offer views of a large nearby park.īetween them, the towers' interiors will host office space, a hotel, retail space and restaurants. Tower One will consist of 52 floors and face the city, while Tower Two will reach 47 floors and face a nearby river. We've no word on their exact heights yet, but all three will be substantial buildings. As illustrated more clearly in the render below, the three towers will be placed very close to each other and joined at multiple points, allowing occupants to move easily between them without needing to descend to the ground. The Wuhan Taikang Financial Centre will be part of Wuhan's burgeoning Hankou Riverside Business District. This trend continues with an upcoming development that will take the form of three eye-catching new skyscrapers linked at multiple points by skybridges. Financial stability is the ultimate goal of supervision, regulation and crisis management. Many of Zaha Hadid Architects' (ZHA) most ambitious projects have been located in China lately, including the Infinitus Plaza and Beijing Daxing International Airport. In designing a new architecture (nationally as well as internationally), we must take into account the goals it is expected to achieve.

Presently, it's a bit difficult to spread this form of joy with anyone other than those with whom you are sheltering or virtually, BUT. If you can share this laughter, the happiness it creates escalates. It can take an upside-down day, turning it right side up. Regardless of your age, laughter can lift you up. "Porcine-ly-perfect"-Laurie Keller, Geisel Award-winning author of We Are Growing! "Kids will gobble up Baloney!"-Ben Clanton, creator of Narwhal and Jelly series "A sure bet for Elephant and Piggie fans who are ready for the next step up or want to make the move to comics." - Booklist In this graphic novel for newly independent readers, Baloney and friends step into the spotlight and embody all the charm of childhood in three short tales and three mini-comics that invite readers to join the fun! Giggle with Baloney as he performs some questionable magic, give him a boost when a case of the blues gets him down, cheer him on as he braves the swimming pool, and at the end, learn to draw all the characters with clear step-by-step instructions! Meet Baloney! He's the star of this book, along with his best buddies: empathetic Peanut the horse, sensible Bizz the bumblebee, and grumpy Krabbit - he'd rather not be here, but what can you do? Three-time Theodor Seuss Geisel Award recipient Greg Pizzoli launches a full-color graphic novel series about four funny friends that Dav Pilkey declares "will inspire young readers to write and draw their own stories"! The plot is ludicrous, but the characters are believable, and when I finished this one, I wasn’t dreading the other books in the series.Īlthough I had enjoyed Slither, I didn’t really feel any great desire to immediately pick up Slime, the next entry in the series. He spends more time describing the protagonist’s complicated relationship with his wife. Halkin doesn’t waste much time describing the origin of the worms or their motives. This is the story of a TV cameraman during a killer worm attack on England. I mean, it didn’t win John Halkin the Nobel Prize for literature, but it kept me entertained for a few hours. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying it. I presumed it was going to be an exercise in scraping the bottom of the barrel, one of those awful novels I can only bare to skim. When I started reading Slither, I didn’t have high hopes. They’re more a trilogy of thematically, structurally and onomatopoeically similar books. The events in these books make no reference to the events in the others. I’ve seen people write these books off for seeming too silly, but I thought they were actually pretty entertaining. The titles and covers of the books in John Halkin’s Slither series are ridiculous, so ridiculous that I had to read them. Her mother had receded into a volatile cycle of neurosis and despair and spent most days locked away in the bedroom. May turned to her grandfather and the art of beekeeping as an escape from her troubled reality. That first close encounter was at once terrifying and exhilarating for May, and in that moment she discovered that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees. She was five years old, her parents had recently split and suddenly she found herself in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus in the yard. Meredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. Bookshop Santa Cruz is buzzing with excitement to host Meredith May for a discussion and signing of her memoir, The Honey Bus-an extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather and one of nature's most mysterious and beguiling creatures: the honeybee. This event is cosponsored by Santa Cruz Beekeepers Guild. |
