On first publication Antony Wood's translations of Pushkin's cycle of "Little Tragedies", of which MOZART AND SALIERI is the best known, were widely praised. Long unavailable, they have now been revised in light of public performances and current Russian interpretations. Pushkin's four miniature verse dramas, each focusing on a single extreme psychological moment, contain the finest blank verse in Russian literature and are central to the Russian dramatic repertoire.

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has produced four Technical Guides to date, since the series launched in late 2012. Each of these guides is the product of a CTBUH Working Group committees formed specifically to address focused topical subjects in the industry. The intention of each guide is the same to provide working knowledge to the typical building owner or professional who wants a better understanding of available options for improving tall buildings, and what affects their design. The object of the series is to provide a tool-kit for the creation of better-performing tall buildings, and to spread the understanding of the considerations that need to be made in designing tall. The CTBUH is the world s leading resource for professionals focused on the design, construction, and operation of tall buildings and future cities. A not-for-profit organization based at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, the group facilitates the exchange of the latest knowledge available on tall buildings around the world.
