Beijing Olympic Village: National Aquatics Center

First to recommend

Description

My all-time favorite dive was performed at twilight by a Hawaiian man who leapt from a cliff while holding a flaming torch in one hand. I am pretty sure we won't see any torches during any of the aquatics events, but I know they will all be thrilling nonetheless. And the venue, also known as the "Water Cube" is, in and of itself, a wonder to behold. (via Beijing 2008)

Rucci's clothing line, now known as "Chado Ralph Rucci", is a reference to the meticulous serving of tea in the eponymous Japanese ceremony. It is no simple task to create clothing of this caliber.

Primarily a picture book, this is the story of how the Statue of Liberty was originally conceived, created and transported to the United States around the time of the 100th birthday of the United States of America.
