Book Description
In Up from Zero, Paul Goldberger, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, tells the inside story of the quest to rebuild one of the most important symbolic sites in the world, the sixteen acres where the towers of the former World Trade Center stood. A story of power, politics, architecture, community, and culture, Up from Zero takes us inside the controversial struggle to create and build one of the most challenging urban-design projects in history.
What should replace the fallen towers? Who had the courage and vision to rise to the task of rebuilding? Who had the right, finally, to decide? The struggle began soon after September 11, 2001, as titanic egos took sides, made demands, and jockeyed for power. Lawyers, developers, grieving families, local residents, politicians, artists, and architects all had fierce needs, radically different ideas, strong emotions, and boundless determination. How could conflicting interests be resolved? After hundreds of hours of often rancorous meetings, the first sets of plans were finally revealed in the summer of 2002–and the results were staggeringly disappointing.
Yet, as Goldberger shows, the rebuilding process recovered and began to flourish. Rather than degenerating into turf wars, it evolved in ways that no one could have predicted. From the decision to reintegrate the site into the dense fabric of lower Manhattan, to the choice of Daniel Libeskind as master planner, to the appointment of a memorial jury, the process has been marked by moments of bold vision, effective community activism, and personal instinct, punctuating the often contentious politics of public participation.
Up from Zero takes in the full sweep of this tremendous effort. Goldberger presents a drama of creative minds at work, solving seemingly insurmountable clashes of taste, interests, and ideas. With unique access to the players and the process, and with a sophisticated understanding of architecture and its impact on people and on the social and cultural life of a city, Paul Goldberger here chronicles the courage, the sacrifices, and the burning passions at the heart of one of the greatest efforts of urban revitalization in modern times.

A true page-turner.......2006-09-18
Up From Zero should appeal to anyone interested in architecture, urban planning, real estate, politics, and to those who desire a lucid and highly readable account of what has happened at Ground Zero in the few years following 9/11.
Paul Goldberger chronicles a number of events, from the widely reported-on World Trade Center master plan competition, called the Innovative Design Study, to numerous community forums and private meetings, and the players that are significant to the eventual outcome of the site. It speaks to Goldberger's skill as a reporter and writer that he is able to organize all of his information into a seamless narrative, while recognizing the tenuous nature of the rebuilding process. The result is a cohesive, mostly unbiased account, and a true page-turner.
The book has several pages of b&w illustrations, but including more of the designs themselves would have been helpful. If you want a better sense of the types of designs submitted in conjunction with the Innovative Design Study, I highly recommend the book Imagining Ground Zero (2004) by Suzanne Stephens. Imagining Ground Zero: The Official and Unofficial Proposals for the World Trade Center Site (Architectural Record Book) Here you see why Daniel Libeskind's winning design and runner-up THINK's received such acclaim, while others were deemed too progressive or traditional.
Urban planning on the scale and in the context of Ground Zero has never been untaken before, which Goldberger makes a point of in the preface. Major building projects take years, some more than a decade, to complete. With the intense pressure to build on the former World Trade Center site, it is impressive to consider that the years this book covers (mostly 2001-2004; the paperback has been updated to include events in 2005) may likely turn out to be but a prelude to the whole of the design process.
Libeskind may have won the master plan competition, but by the end of the book, his bold design had been subject to significant modification. Libeskind, depicted as maverick and avant-garde, would continue to see his role diminish and his scheme compromised by the competing visions that many stakeholders have in the site and some of the economic and political realities of building in such a highly visible place. The early life of Libeskind's design alone should serve to illustrate how much of Goldberger's great book is prefatory.
As expected, Goldberger cannot end his account satisfactorily insofar as the process has not been played out fully, and it may be years before it is. It is then no surprise that the epilogue is meandering, as the author tries, for the sake of his readers, to impose some kind of conclusion to the events and offer a reasonable explanation as to why something that should be guided by collaboration is instead being dictated by commerce. In the end, it is the visionaries, whether they are architects like Libeskind or planners, and the citizens of New York City who walk away as losers.
But nor does anyone emerge as a winner. Certainly not Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center, who is painted as a greedy developer exerting considerable influence on the design process. His triumph may turn out to be 7 World Trade Center, his building adjacent to Ground Zero that was also destroyed on 9/11. Designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, it was completed a few months ago and has been well-received.
Golderberger's book reveals how democracy, bureaucracy, and powerful constituencies work in continuum at Ground Zero. And slowly but surely a picture of how it will look is emerging.
A true epic of a great contemporary city, New York. .......2006-07-25
What's so great about this book?
Is it because the book carefully analyzes
pros and cons on the history of the area?
Is it because the book brings alive the political
games of Port Authority and LMDC?
Is it because the book broadcasts the competition
of world-class architects?
Is it because the book records the behind scenes
of super architects' dirty cat fight?
Is it because the eye of the book is not only from
top-down, but also bottom-up?
Is it because the book tells what the role of developer is in NY?
Well, the book surely answers all of above-mentioned questions. But the real drama of the book is in what the New Yorkers did together to make this site memorable and meaningful (both symbolically and practically); a strong testimony to the victorious civic life against the destructive terrorists attacks.
Paul Goldberger bites that drama with such tenacity and rigor that it's really difficult to put down the book once in hands. The book actually mentions that NY had to wait several months before speaking of rebuilding because nobody dared to speak when the scars of terrorism was just around the corner. What a tragic yet promising story!
The heart of the matter is that in the turmoil of rebuilding energy arises a revelation how a great contemporary city -such as New York- claims it's identity. It's a city of ideas. It's a city of debates. It's a city of interactions, and it's a city of generating hope from the deepest despair of human affairs. "It's a city of Victors, not Victims"
I would like to believe that Goldberger, as a New Yorker, simply could not resist speaking of what he had witnessed. The book is mind bothering, yet, heart beating read.
Factual, informative, broad, and surprisingly objective.......2005-07-10
Who would have expected from Paul Goldberger to produce such a restraint in personal opinion and - instead - factual, informative, surprisingly objective, and detailed history of the Ground Zero's struggle to rebuild the WTC in NYC? It is a story involving distribution of billions of dollars by those having executive power (combined with exemption from NY City building code) giving the politicians ("Emperor" Pataki, the Director of LMDC Roland Betts - a close friend and business partner of President George W. Bush, ...) opportunities to establish arbitrary restrictions and allowances regardless of the cost and usefulness, to arbitrarily select the participants of design process regardless of their merit, ability, capacity, and a public interest, etc. They created (initiated and developed) opportunities for favored participants in the design process to gain from their political and not entirely appropriate, but self-serving decisions, which - at the end - bit them, after confronted by a reality check, which exposed their selfishness and ignorance.

Product Description
This unique electronic book on DVD-ROM has a comprehensive collection of the finest federal documents and resources about the Advanced Energy Initiative promoted by President George W. Bush in his State of the Union address in 2006: "Keeping America competitive requires affordable energy. And here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology. ... By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can dramatically improve our environment, move beyond a petroleum-based economy, and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past." The President has set a national goal of replacing more than 75% of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025. With America on the verge of breakthroughs in advanced energy technologies, the best way to break the addiction to foreign oil is through new technology. Since 2001, we have spent nearly $10 billion to develop cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable alternative energy sources. The President announced the Advanced Energy Initiative, which provides for a 22% increase in clean-energy research at the Department of Energy (DOE). The Initiative will accelerate our breakthroughs in two vital areas; how we power our homes and businesses; and how we power our automobiles. Accelerating research in clean coal technologies, clean and safe nuclear energy, and revolutionary solar and wind technologies will reduce overall demand for natural gas and lead to lower energy costs. The President's Advanced Energy Initiative proposes speeding up research in three promising areas: The President's Coal Research Initiative. Coal provides more than half of the Nation's electricity supply, and America has enough coal to last more than 200 years. As part of the National Energy Policy, the President committed $2 billion over 10 years to speed up research in the use of clean coal technologies to generate electricity while meeting environmental regulations at low cost. To tap the potential of America's enormous coal reserves, the President's 2007 Budget includes $281 million for development of clean coal technologies, nearly completing the President's commitment 4 years ahead of schedule. The FutureGen initiative is a partnership between government and the private sector to develop innovative technologies for an emissions-free coal plant that captures the carbon dioxide it produces and stores it in deep geologic formations. The President's Solar America Initiative. The 2007 Budget will propose a new $148 million Solar America Initiative an increase of $65 million over FY06 to accelerate the development of semiconductor materials that convert sunlight directly to electricity. These solar photovoltaic "PV" cells can be used to deliver energy services to rural areas and can be incorporated directly into building materials, so that there can be future "zero energy" homes that produce more energy than they consume. Expanding Clean Energy from Wind. The 2007 Budget includes $44 million for wind energy research a $5 million increase over FY06 levels. This will help improve the efficiency and lower the costs of new wind technologies for use in low-speed wind environments. Combined with ongoing efforts to expand access to Federal lands for wind energy development, this new funding will help dramatically increase the use of wind energy in the United States. Changing The Way We Power Our Automobiles The United States must move beyond a petroleum-based economy and develop new ways to power automobiles. The President wants to accelerate the development of domestic, renewable alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuels. The Administration will accelerate research in cutting-edge methods of producing "cellulosic ethanol" with the goal of making the use of such ethanol practical and competitive within 6 years. The Administration will also step up the Nation's research

Book Description
Nearly 60 percent of the oil needed to keep the U.S. economy running is imported from foreign suppliers, many of which are located in the unstable Persian Gulf region of the Middle East. America's heavy reliance on imported oil has caused some observers to argue that the nation's security has been compromised and that measures must be taken to increase domestic oil exploration and production. The most effective ways to address foreign oil dependence are debated and discussed in this timely anthology.

Book Description
The United States is highly dependent on foreign oil. Well over half of the oil and petroleum products consumed in America—approximately 12 million barrels per day, or more than 600 gallons for every man, woman, and child each year—now come from abroad. And the U.S. government projects that the level of imports will only continue to rise, reaching between 16 and 21 million barrels per day by 2025.
What precisely are the costs of U.S. foreign oil dependence? Unfortunately, no one has yet offered a satisfactory answer to this vital question. As a result, the costs to the United States of its dependence on oil from abroad have gone largely unrecognized and, in fact, are much greater than most people realize. Some costs, like the annual bill for oil imports—and, by reflection, the price that motorists pay at the pump or the size of homeowners’ heating oil bills—are obvious and quantifiable. A number of others, however, are not so apparent or easy to measure. For example, it is difficult to put a price tag on the costs of coddling oil-rich authoritarian regimes at the expense of promoting representative government, human rights, and other important values.
This book seeks to remedy this oversight by providing the first comprehensive analysis of the costs—both economic and policy-related—of U.S. foreign oil dependence and how they might be reduced. It shows that since the 1970s, the economic costs alone have run into the trillions of dollars. Successive administrations have tended to neglect the opportunities at home to reduce these costs by limiting demand. Instead, they have emphasized foreign and military policies that have proven both highly expensive and largely unsuccessful.
One positive conclusion the author draws is that the opportunities for reducing oil consumption remain largely unexploited and the costs of U.S. foreign oil dependence can still be substantially reduced at relatively little expense. At least as important, however, will be rethinking and revising the expensive foreign, security, and military policies and commitments that have developed around U.S. foreign oil dependence over the past three decades.

Book Description
Back by popular demand, this dramatic appraisal of the Spanish Navy and its defeat by the British at Trafalgar in 1805 disproves many long-held beliefs about the competence of the Spanish fleet. The author examines the factors that shaped the development of the Spanish Navy in the eighteenth century and maintains that the well-built ships and skilled forces were nowhere near as ineffective as they are usually represented. The book includes specifics of Spanish warship design and construction and is illustrated with beautiful contemporary plans, engravings, and photographs of ship models, some in full color. 208 pages. 120 illustrations. Hardcover. 8 x 10 1/2 inches.

A good break from Anglocentric Naval Historians .......2005-06-09
Author John Harbron's book is a nice relief from the all long line of Anglocentric Naval historians that like to downplay the accomplishments of the Spanish and, to a lesser extent, French navies in the 1700s. The Spanish Royal Navy did a fine job in the 18th century given the fact that they were outgunned and outmanned and could rarely coordinate effectively with their French naval counterparts in their battles against the British Royal Navy. The results speak for themselves. During the 18th century Spain was able to successfully maintain her vast American empire vitually intact despite contant British Royal Navy attacks. It was only when revolutionary movements in her American empire that Spain lost most of her territories and not because of British actions.
John Hebron's book articulate accomplishments of great Spanish commanders like Blas De Lezo and Bernardo Galvez who had a consistant record of defeating British foes. Facts that are rarely mentioned or glossed over in English language history texts.
Excellent topic, but not followed through.......2001-07-27
While the author has made the point that there were many fine officers in the Spanish Navy, and that there were many excellent ships, the facts indicate that this combination was never capitalised upon, and the result was invariably disasterous. The best of leaders can only do so much with what they are given, and in the case of Spain, this meant far too few seamen, far too much influence by the Army, far too little training for crews, and some of the worst treatment imaginable. There is no point in building enormous warships if they cannot be effectively manned! Further, it is well-documented that ships of the line of the Spanish navy, although enormous in size, were laughably undergunned compared to their contemporaries. This is not made clear in this book. That said, it would also be of enormous benefit to view some of the plans and profiles of these ships, so as to compare them with their British and French contemporaries. Dozens of books have been written about HMS Victory and other Royal Navy ship types, but almost nothing about the ships of the other navies of the time, and even less in English! It is a great pity the author chose to use so many primitive contemporary Spanish paintings for illustration rather than something either commissioned for the book (expensive, no doubt!), or obtained with a bit more research into what is available.
