Summary

Cave Dwellings Architecture explores the fascinating world of underground settlements, revealing how diverse cultures ingeniously carved homes from rock. This book examines the architectural techniques, cultural adaptations, and historical significance of these subterranean communities. Discover how societies adapted their lifestyles and belief systems to the unique challenges of underground living. For example, the deliberate engineering of these structures often provided natural thermal insulation, offering protection from harsh climates.

 
The book presents a historical overview, spanning from prehistoric times to the present, to understand the social, economic, and political conditions that led to these settlements. It argues that cave dwellings are sophisticated architectural solutions reflecting an understanding of local environments. Uncover the ingenious ways these dwellings were constructed, from modifying existing caves to carving multi-level structures. The design of cave dwellings also provided defense against external threats.

 
The book progresses through case studies such as the cave cities of Cappadocia and the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde, analyzing architectural features and cultural practices. By offering a global perspective and highlighting sustainable features, Cave Dwellings Architecture provides valuable insights for contemporary architecture, environmental design, and anyone interested in human dwellings and architectural history.

    Ever wonder why poverty exists and how we could get rid of it? Here's your answer. 
    Darryl Finkton, Jr. is a hedge fund manager turned community organizer. Raised in poverty, Darryl went on to graduate from Harvard College and the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. In “End Poverty. Make Trillions.” Darryl shares how he rose from rags to riches, and how we can ensure everyone has an opportunity to generate wealth. 
    A Surprisingly Simple Plan for Ending Poverty–and Making Trillions of Dollars for Ourselves While We Do It 
    Poverty costs the United States more than a trillion dollars a year for myriad complex reasons. Ending it would result in joy that is hard to quantify. Yet for all the complexities involved, the “how” of it all–the way to escape national suffering and decline and start off toward a future of organic, resilient national growth–is simple. 
    It’s SO SIMPLE. 
    To have lives of dignity and purpose and contribute meaningfully to our capitalist economy, America’s poor people do not need the rest of us to feed or shelter them. They don’t need us to derail our lives to take care of them or even think about them all that much. 
    They need MONEY.

    Brokers of Deceit - How the US...

    For more than seven decades the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people has raged on with no end in sight, and for much of that time, the United States has been involved as a mediator in the conflict. 
     
     
     
    Khalidi closely analyzes three historical moments that illuminate how the United States' involvement has, in fact, thwarted progress toward peace between Israel and Palestine. The first moment he investigates is the "Reagan Plan" of 1982, when Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin refused to accept the Reagan administration's proposal to reframe the Camp David Accords more impartially. The second moment covers the period after the Madrid Peace Conference, from 1991 to 1993, during which negotiations between Israel and Palestine were brokered by the United States until the signing of the secretly negotiated Oslo accords. Finally, Khalidi takes on President Barack Obama's retreat from plans to insist on halting the settlements in the West Bank. 
     
     
     
    Through in-depth research, as well as his own firsthand experience as an advisor to the Palestinian delegation at the 1991 pre-Oslo negotiations in Washington, DC, Khalidi reveals how the United States and Israel have actively colluded to prevent a Palestinian state and resolve the situation in Israel's favor.
