Summary

Félix Vallotton (1865-1925) was active at the turn of the century. Although he is best known for his striking and elegantly composed Japanese-inspired woodblock prints, Vallotton was also a skilled painter, creating works that arrestingly combined technical perfection with emotional realism. This seminal text provides readers with a fascinating assessment of the career of this revolutionary artist.

    Adventures in the wilderness can be dramatic and deadly. Glacier National Park's death records date back to January 1913, when a man froze to death while snowshoeing between Cut Bank and St. Mary. All told, 260 people have died or are presumed to have died in the park during the first hundred years of its existence. One man fell into a crevasse on East Gunsight Peak while skiing its steep north face, and another died while moonlight biking on the Sun Road. A man left his wife and five children at the Apgar picnic area and disappeared on Lake McDonald. His boat was found halfway up the west shore wedged between rocks with the propeller stuck in gravel. Collected here are some of the most gripping accounts in park history of these unfortunate events caused by natural forces or human folly.

    The hilarious New York Times bestseller “sharply observes the lives of globe-trotting, overindulging investment bankers” (Entertainment Weekly).   “Some chick asked me what I would do with 10 million bucks. I told her I’d wonder where the rest of my money went.” —@GSElevator   For three years, the notorious @GSElevator Twitter feed offered a hilarious, shamelessly voyeuristic look into the real world of international finance. Hundreds of thousands followed the account, Goldman Sachs launched an internal investigation, and when the true identity of the man behind it all was revealed, it created a national media sensation—but that’s only part of the story.   Where @GSElevator captured the essence of the banking elite with curated jokes and submissions overheard by readers, Straight to Hell adds John LeFevre’s own story—an unapologetic and darkly funny account of a career as a globe-conquering investment banker spanning New York, London, and Hong Kong. Straight to Hell pulls back the curtain on a world that is both hated and envied, taking readers from the trading floors and roadshows to private planes and after-hours overindulgence. Full of shocking lawlessness, boyish antics, and win-at-all-costs schemes, this is the definitive take on the deviant, dysfunctional, and absolutely excessive world of finance.   “Shocking and sordid—and so much fun.” —Daily News (New York)   “LeFevre’s workplace anecdotes include tales of nastiness, sabotage, favoritism, sexism, racism, expense-account padding, and legally questionable collusion.” —The New Yorker

    Connectivity is a critical element in shaping the development and functionality of modern cities. As urbanization accelerates, the ability to connect people, services, and infrastructure becomes fundamental in ensuring that cities grow in a sustainable, efficient, and equitable manner. Whether through transportation, digital infrastructure, or social systems, connectivity determines the overall effectiveness of urban environments. It not only enables economic growth and innovation but also enhances the quality of life for urban residents, facilitating better access to services, opportunities, and resources. As cities evolve, improving connectivity has become one of the most pressing priorities for urban planners, policymakers, and developers. 
    Historically, the evolution of urban connectivity was rooted in physical infrastructure. Roads, railways, and ports formed the foundation for the development of cities, enabling the movement of goods, services, and people. These early forms of connectivity allowed urban centers to thrive, driving economic activity and creating spaces for cultural exchange. As cities grew, so did their need for more complex and advanced networks. In the 21st century, digital connectivity has added a new layer of importance to urban development. High-speed internet, mobile technology, and digital communication systems have transformed how cities function, providing real-time access to information and services that were previously unavailable. 
    The concept of the "smart city" highlights the profound impact of digital connectivity on urban life. By integrating technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and big data, cities can improve everything from traffic management to resource distribution. Smart city solutions enable cities to operate more efficiently and sustainably, optimizing the use of energy, water, and other resources while reducing waste and pollution.
