Bridge Hunt chronicles a young man's unforgettable quest to discover the 42 revolutionary bridges designed by Robert Maillart, a pioneering Swiss engineer and architectural luminary, between 1899 to 1940. Many of these graceful structures still hide along remote back roads and alpine valleys, while a few iconic landmarks endure in Bern, Geneva, and Zurich. Maillart's breathtaking Salginatobel Bridge was recently designated as a Swiss heritage site for its national significance. It has also been named an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers. This visually rich travelogue presents the only complete published collection of photos and descriptions of all Maillart's extant European bridges, capturing his unique engineering artistry. It will appeal to civil engineers, architects, and students, as well as travellers, adventure-seekers and anyone fascinated by treasures that unite rather than divide our world. More than a precious record of a unique chapter in infrastructure history, the book is at heart a human story. Through one young man's eyes, we rediscover Maillart's timeless bridges, which embody the soaring of imagination transformed into structures that bring people together.

هرگونه اختلال در مسئولیت و تسلط در زندگی] ما، به]خاطر اِشکال در حریم]]هاست. همان]طور که صاحب]خانه حریمی مشخص اطراف ملک خود می]]گذارد، ما هم نیاز داریم از لحاظ روانی، فیزیکی، عاطفی و روحانی، محدوده]]هایی برای زندگی]مان تعیین کنیم تا به مشخص کردن آنچه مسئولیت]]های ما هست و نیست، کمک کنند. همان]طور که در بیشتر مشکلات شری می]]بینیم، عدم توانایی در مشخص کردنِ حریم]]های معین در زمان معین برای اشخاصی معین، می]]تواند بسیار مخرب باشد. این یکی از جدی]]ترین مشکلاتی است که مسیحیان امروز با آن روبه]رو هستند. بسیاری از ایمانداران بی]]ریا و خوش]]نیت، وقتی به موضوع تعیین حریم]]های معین می]]رسند، با سردرگمی وحشتناکی مواجه می]]شوند. وقتی با فقدان حریم]ها روبه]رو می]]شوند، سؤالات خوبی می]]پرسند آیا می]توانم محدودیت]هایی بگذارم و همچنان بامحبت باشم؟]] حریم]های درست چه چیزهایی هستند؟ اگر کسی به]خاطر حریم]های من ناراحت شود یا آسیب ببیند چطور؟ چطور باید به کسی که به وقت، محبت، انرژی یا پول من نیاز دارد پاسخ دهم؟]]] چرا وقتی به گذاشتن حریم فکر می]کنم احساس ترس یا گناه به من دست می]دهد؟]]] حریم]گذاری چطور به تسلیم متقابل در ازوداج مربوط می]شود؟آیا حریم تعیین کردن خودخواهی نیست؟]]اطلاعات غلط راجع به پاسخ]] کتاب]مقدس به این مسائل، تعالیم اشتباه بسیاری را دربار]]ۀ حریم]]ها به]دنبال دارد. نه تنها این، بلکه بسیاری از نشانه]]های روانشناسی بالینی مانند افسردگی، اختلالات عصبی، اختلالات اشتها، اعتیاد، دمدمی]مزاجی، احساس گناه، مسائل مربوط به شرم، ترس غیرمعقول و مشکلات ارتباطی و زناشویی، ریشه در اختلالات حریم]]ها دارند. این کتاب دیدگاهی کتاب]مقدسی از حریم]]ها ارائه می]]کند آنها چه هستند، از چه محافظت می]]کنند، چطور پرورش می]]یابند، چطور صدمه می]]بینند، چطور می]]شود آنها را اصلاح کرد و چگونه به کارشان گرفت. این کتاب سؤالات بالا و حتی بیشتری را پاسخ خواهد داد. هدف ما کمک به شما با استفاده از حریم]]های مناسب کتاب]مقدسی به منظور دستیابی به روابط و اهدافی است که خدا برای &#1

All In: Risking Everything for Everything that Matters by author W. Allen Morris is a freedom manual for hard-driving, success-oriented leaders who are ready to explore the terra incognita of their hidden self in order to find and experience the life they deeply want--the path to greater freedom, joy, creativity, and power. All of us are leaders, or have the potential to be, in our circle of influence--in our work, in our families, and in our world. We will either be powerfully healing, inspiring, and effective leaders or hurtful and injuring leaders. The difference is in the awareness and healing we have experienced in our secret inner life. As a business leader and entrepreneur, Allen Morris discovered that the very same drive and skills that had brought him so much success were also sabotaging everything and everyone he cared about. It was as if an unseen enemy was at work behind the scenes, ambushing his happiness and undoing his relationships right as he stepped into the winner's circle. And he noticed he was not alone in his struggle. All In: Risking Everything for Everything that Matters follows the author's story and that of other CEOs and leaders who found themselves stuck or unfulfilled but chose to risk authenticity and transparency to understand how their blind spots and childhood wounds were limiting their true potential. Drawing on the insights of neuroscience, psychology, addiction recovery, and biblical wisdom--and sharing dramatic stories from his own life and those of other leaders--Morris delivers a practical and inspiring plan for how men can achieve exponentially greater effectiveness, fulfillment, creativity, and influence for good.
