Sinopsis

Courtyard Climate Control explores how hacienda courtyards historically functioned as natural cooling systems. By analyzing colonial records and architectural plans, the book reveals the principles behind passive cooling and microclimate regulation in these spaces. Readers will discover how the strategic use of materials, orientation, vegetation, and water features in courtyard design contributed to temperature moderation.

 
The book progresses from an introduction to passive cooling and hacienda architecture to specific elements of courtyard design. It uses climate data and historical documents to support its analysis. The book uniquely bridges environmental and architectural history, offering a practical, historically informed approach to creating energy-efficient buildings.

 
Ultimately, Courtyard Climate Control argues that understanding vernacular architecture, like that of colonial haciendas, provides valuable insights for sustainable design today. It demonstrates how these time-tested strategies can be adapted for contemporary projects, offering architects and landscape designers a resource for creating more comfortable and environmentally friendly spaces.

    This project brings together stories from young people in the United Kingdom living with vision impairments, highlighting their experiences and challenges in transitioning through key life stages. Supported by the University of Bath and funded by Guide Dogs, the project was initiated by Dr. Karin Petrini and Dr. Michael Proulx, alongside Dr. Aikaterini Tavoulari, who brought both clinical and academic expertise.  
    The team collaborated with a diverse group of young people from across the UK, some with additional disabilities, who acted as co-researchers and played a key role in shaping the project's direction. After ten months of collaboration, they decided to create an audiobook, also available in print, to share their stories with a wide audience, including individuals with vision impairments, healthcare professionals, universities, and other stakeholders. 
    The audiobook features powerful, personal accounts of navigating life transitions, such as moving from childhood to adulthood, relocating to a new country, and transitioning to independent living. The stories highlight both the barriers these individuals faced and the support systems and tools that helped them overcome challenges.  
    Ultimately, the project aims to inspire, educate, and connect people, offering insights that could help others facing similar life transitions, while fostering greater understanding for those who engage with individuals with vision impairments.

    Chapter 1 
    How to regain your power after begging and pleading 
    How can you regain the power back after doing all the begging and pleading and crying and all that shit like that? 
      when you are begging and pleading and crying, understand that’s natural. It’s called the fear of loss, you have the fear of losing something. You might not notice that the person already mentally checked out on you for whatever reason only they can tell you.  
    This is what you can do to regain your power back: 
    1. Stop all that- because it’s not going to do any good. The more you beg and plead and do all this nice stuff and jump though all these monkey ass hoops for this person, they don’t care, they are not there mentally, their mind gone, so the best thing for you to do is stop, just stop. That’s the first thing you can do to start regaining your power back, stop all that. 
    2. Then what you want to do is Become independent- the more you don’t need that person, the more that person wants you. It’s backwards, its nature, it is set up that way. The more you don’t want something the more you get it. Kind of like rich people, they get richer because they are already rich, they are not working for money. But what I’m trying to tell you is this, when you don’t need them and you are self-reliant, and you are independent and you don’t need them for absolutely nothing, they’ll want you. Now this goes in business, whatever area of your life you want to place it in, when you don’t need it there it is. Really this is how you operate from a position of power, always remember people want what they can't have.

    Enemy Feminisms - TERFs...

    In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need. 
     
     
     
    Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from nineteenth century imperial feminists and police officers to twentieth century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today's anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist. 
     
     
     
    At once a left transfeminist battle cry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism.
