This Bookshelf Is A Great Way to Draw Attention to Your Personal Library

Albero means "tree" in Italian, so it's only fitting that this tree-like bookcase bears the name of the very thing that inspired it. The central post serves as a trunk and like a real tree, it can expand and grow to fit any space -although this particular tree only grows to 11 feet tall. Similarly, the branches can be spread out in any given pattern although these boughs are better suited for holding books and knickknacks than leaves.

Presumably not suitable for my children infested habitate...
At least i can imagine "Huey, Dewey and Louie" transform it into a mixture between treehouse and carousel...

Roundabouts are the best thing since sliced bread... traffic lights are a waste, letting cars cross lanes of traffic to turn is dangerous... just go up to the next orbital and pull a 'U'. Amazing that in the good old USA, where we have lots of room, we still put up with stop signs and lights everywhere, but in GB/Europe, where land is at a premium, they 'waste' the space to put them in. Roundabouts work, no doubt about it.

The big problems that stem from putting roundabouts in the States is that the things aren't typically taught in driver's ed classes nor the driver's test (most places), likely because they're a rarity. Those two things create a lot of confusion when people here are confronted with them.
A city near me put a roundabout in a few years ago and the uproar it caused was tremendous.
They do make sense, WHEN people know how to use them.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but in the last few years my Pacific NW town has installed roundabouts in several places. Mostly seem to work OK, though a logging truck recently managed to dump its load trying to drive through one.

I've come across one roundabout, but apparently it didn't work well, because there are now stop signs controlling two directions of the four, but they didn't remove the roundabout, so it seems to be a way to slow traffic through the intersection.
