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 It uses climate data and historical documents to support its analysis.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 audiobook unites two profound works by visionary mystic Neville Goddard: "He Breaks the Shell" (1964) and "I Know My Father" (1960), paired with an exclusive guided meditation by Richard Hargreaves to deepen your journey of self-realization. Blending timeless spiritual philosophy with actionable practices, this special edition invites you to transcend limitations, reclaim your divine identity, and awaken the creator within.  In He Breaks the Shell, Neville unveils the transformative process of resurrection as an awakening within the “sepulcher” of the human skull—a mystical rebirth into your Christ-consciousness. Through vivid scriptural analysis and firsthand mystical testimony, he reveals how God’s four mighty acts (resurrection, fatherhood, temple-splitting, and divine affirmation) dismantle the “shell” of mortal identity, birthing you as “the image of the invisible God.” This esoteric masterwork reframes biblical prophecy as an inward journey: “God became man that man may become God.”  I Know My Father distills Neville’s cornerstone teaching: “Your awareness of being is God.” Here, he dismantles illusions of separation, reframing “God” as your I AM presence—the formless awareness that molds reality. Through razor-sharp insights, Neville empowers you to shed limiting attachments, wield consciousness as the “foundation stone” of creation, and manifest desires by “wearing” new states of being. “To claim ‘I AM free’ is to let your savior in,” he teaches—a call to dissolve lack through radical self-revaluation.   
    The meditation by Hargreaves is designed to anchor Neville’s teachings into daily practice. Through breathwork, visualization, and manifestation techniques, this immersive session helps you manifest from unwavering faith.   
    "He Breaks the Shell and I Know My Father—Special Edition" is a roadmap to self-deification. Neville’s revelations dissolve the illusion of separation, empowering you to wield imagination consciously and sculpt a life of purpose.

    WARRIORS OF THE FIRST NATIONS...

    From the bestselling author of Empire of Fear, War Beneath the Waves, Lions and Foxes, and the Human Condition Quartet 
    Every tribe called ferocious was, in fact, a nation fighting for survival. 
    For four centuries, the peoples of Native America fought one of the longest and most consequential wars in human history — against Spanish conquistadors, French missionaries, British redcoats, and American cavalry. They fought for their land, their families, their ceremonies, and their right to exist on the continent they had inhabited for ten thousand years. 
    Warriors of the First Nations is the definitive narrative military and cultural history of Indigenous North America — sweeping, rigorously researched, and compulsively readable. 
    Meet the Comanche horsemen who built an empire larger than France. The Apache guerrillas who evaded the US Army for three decades. The Nez Perce who conducted a fighting retreat of twelve hundred miles, defeating the Army battle after battle before being caught thirty miles from safety. 
    Meet Geronimo, who held two national armies to a standstill with thirty-eight people. Crazy Horse, whose genius destroyed Custer at the Little Bighorn in under an hour. Tecumseh, who came closer than any man to uniting the continent against expansion. Chief Joseph, whose surrender — From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever — is one of the great documents of human dignity. 
    Drawing on decades of research, Quentin Drummond Anderson brings twenty chapters of unsparing history to a story buried under two centuries of mythology. 
    This is not a book about defeat. It is a book about what human beings are capable of when they refuse to stop fighting for what is theirs. 
    The nations are still here. The warriors are still at their work. 
    20 chapters · Four centuries · Little Bighorn, Pueblo Revolt, Wounded Knee, and more · Full portraits of Geronimo, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Tecumseh, Chief Joseph, and others · Extensive notes and bibliography

    No one present at the Battle of Cape Lopez off the coast of West Africa in 1722 could have known that they were on the edge of history. This obscure yet fierce naval battle would have a monumental impact on British colonies and the future of slavery in America. 
     
     
     
    Pirates of the Slave Trade follows three figures whose fates would violently converge: John Conny, a charismatic leader of the Akan people who made lucrative deals with pirates and smugglers while fending off British and Dutch slavers; the infamous pirate Black Bart, who worked his way from an anonymous navigator to one of the British Empire's most notorious enemies in the region; and naval captain Chaloner Ogle, tasked by the Crown with hunting down and killing Black Bart at all costs. At the Battle of Cape Lopez, these three men and the massive historical forces at their backs would finally find each other—and the world would be transformed forever. 
     
     
     
    In this landmark narrative history, historian Angela Sutton outlines the complex network of trade routes spanning the Atlantic Ocean trafficked by agents of empire, private merchants, and brutal pirates alike. Drawing from a wide range of primary historical sources, Sutton offers a new perspective on how a single battle played a pivotal role in reshaping the trade of enslaved people in ways that affect America to this day.

    On January 20, 1981, Reagan began his first presidential inauguration address by thanking Carter for his “gracious cooperation in the transition process”. 
    Reagan notes “one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. It distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike.” “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” 
    “For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present.” “It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people.” 
    “If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before.” “It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden.” 
    “As for the enemies of freedom, … [w]e will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength.” 
    “[T]ogether with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. And after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans. God bless you, and thank you.
