Beschreibung

Durable Wood Homes explores the long-lasting nature of wood as a primary building material, challenging the perception that it's inherently prone to decay. It reveals how thoughtful architectural design, careful wood selection, and consistent maintenance can enable wood homes to endure for centuries, rivaling structures made of concrete or steel. The book highlights that many historical timber-framed houses and wooden structures around the world owe their longevity to time-tested wood preservation techniques, demonstrating the material's potential when properly utilized.

 
The book examines historical examples across various cultures and climates to understand what makes these structures so resilient. It delves into wood science, discussing species selection and resistance to decay, before analyzing historical homes and their construction. The book emphasizes the importance of sustainable building practices and the role of cultural values in preserving wooden homes.

 
Ultimately, Durable Wood Homes provides a unique perspective on the enduring legacy of wooden architecture and offers practical guidance for building and maintaining durable wood homes in the modern era. It progresses by first examining wood properties, then analyzing historical examples, and finally synthesizing lessons for contemporary applications.

Acts of Resistance - The Power...

Amber Massie-Blomfield

What is the purpose of art in a world on fire? Can it be a genuine form of political resistance? 
 
 
 
What is the purpose of art in a world on fire? In this exhilarating and deeply inspiring work, Amber Massie-Blomfield considers the work of artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers—such as Gran Fury, Billie Holiday, Alexis Wright, Claude Cahun, Rick Lowe, and Joseph Beuys—alongside collectives, communities, and organizations that have used protest sites as their canvas and spearheaded political movements. From writer Ken Saro Wiwa combating oil pollution in Nigeria and Susan Sontag directing Waiting for Godot in besieged Sarajevo to the women stitching subversive patchworks in Pinochet's Chile and the artist-activists who blocked the building of a new airport in France, with stories drawn from environmentalism, feminism, anti-fascism, and other movements, Acts of Resistance brings together remarkable acts of creativity that have shifted history on its axis.

Face Down - The Disappearance of...

David Blake Knox

On 27 December 1973 the nightmare began: late that night German businessman Thomas Niedermayer was kidnapped from his home in Belfast. Never seen alive again by his friends or family, he became one of the 'disappeared' and it seemed that no one knew what had happened to him.
His wife, Ingeborg, and his daughters, Renate and Gabriele, spent the next seven years not knowing if Thomas were alive or dead. In 1980, an IRA informant led police to recover his body. But the trauma for Thomas's family was far from over: there were further devastating consequences for all of them.
Five decades on, FACE DOWN sets out to discover what really happened in Belfast all those years ago.
Now in its second, updated edition and the subject of an IFTA nominated feature-length documentary, this astonishing story of one family's generational trauma undermines any attempt to glamorise or minimise the effects of political violence.

Trump: Modern Shaman -...

Leo Van

Trump: Modern Shaman - An Unparalleled Analysis of America's Most Controversial Leader 
Trump didn't just break America's political rules - he revealed them as illusions. This is an outsider's discovery of how an unlikely shaman transformed the world's most powerful nation. 
Trump follows ancient patterns of leadership that modern politics has forgotten. Through raw charisma and intuitive genius, he tapped into psychological forces that reshaped America's soul. This analysis reveals why millions found his message irresistible—and why his critics still don't understand what hit them. 
Written by a non-American observer free from Washington's tribal warfare, this work examines how the deeply flawed Trump could be the very hero America needs in its darkest hour. 
Note: This book offers a clear-eyed view of both his strengths and limitations but is ultimately strangely pro-Trump.
