Sinossi

"Non-Toxic Home Design" explores the impact of conventional building materials on your health, offering solutions for a safer living space. It reveals how seemingly harmless elements like paint, flooring, and furniture can release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and phthalates, contributing to allergies, asthma, and other health issues. Intriguingly, industrialization has led to the widespread use of synthetic materials without fully understanding their long-term effects. The book emphasizes that safer, sustainable alternatives exist, such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, and organic textiles, empowering readers to make informed decisions.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of environmental toxins and their health impacts. Subsequent chapters focus on specific home areas like flooring, walls, and furniture, providing information on identifying toxic materials and selecting safer alternatives. It also provides practical guidance on implementing non-toxic design principles, including budgeting and planning renovations.

 
By tracing the history of building material development, the book provides necessary context, making it a valuable resource for homeowners, renters, and anyone interested in eco-friendly design and sustainable materials.

Candida

George Bernard Shaw

Candida, a comedy by playwright George Bernard Shaw, was first published in 1898, as part of his Plays Pleasant. The central characters are clergyman James Morell, his wife Candida and a youthful poet, Eugene Marchbanks, who tries to win Candida's affections. The play questions Victorian notions of love and marriage, asking what a woman really desires from her husband. The cleric is a Fabian Socialist, allowing Shaw—himself a Fabian—to weave political issues, current at the time, into the story. (Summary from Wikipedia)

The Velvet Underground's The...

Joe Harvard

The Velvet Underground and Nico has influenced the sound of more bands than any other album. And remarkably, it still sounds as fresh and challenging today as it did upon its release in 1967. In this book, Joe Harvard covers everything from Lou Reed's lyrical genius to John Cale's groundbreaking instrumentation, and from the creative input of Andy Warhol to the fine details of the recording process. With input from co-producer Norman Dolph and Velvets fan Jonathan Richman, Harvard documents the creation of a record which - in the eyes of many - has never been matched.

The Taming of the Shrew

William Shakespeare

The Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare's earliest comedies, and was inspired by classical Roman comedy and the Italian commedia dell'arte.  Baptista Minola, a rich gentleman of Padua, has two daughters: Katherina, renowned for her sharp tongue, and Bianca, who is sought after by multiple suitors.  Baptista decides that Bianca cannot marry until her elder sister finds a husband.  Enter Petruchio, who has come to "wive it wealthily in Padua," and who is convinced by Bianca's suitors to woo Katherina.  The play ultimately poses the question of who is the bigger shrew: Kate or Petruchio.  The subplot involves the subterfuge employed by Lucentio to woo the lovely Bianca.

Fleetwood Mac's Tusk

Rob Trucks

After Rumours became the best-selling single album of all-time, Fleetwood Mac asked Warner Brothers Records to buy them a studio (the label refused, costing both Warner Brothers and the band significant cash in the long run) and then handed the reins to their guitarist and resident perfectionist Lindsey Buckingham. “You know,” Buckingham said, “we had this ridiculous success with Rumours. We were poised to do another album, and I guess because the axiom ‘If it works, run it into the ground’ was prevalent then, we were probably poised to do Rumours II. I don’t know how you do that, but somehow my light bulb that went off was, ‘Let’s just not do that. Let’s very pointedly not do that.’ ”Here, Rob Trucks talks to Lindsey Buckingham, as well as members of Animal Collective, Camper Van Beethoven, the New Pornographers, Wolf Parade, and the USC Trojan marching band in order to chart both the story and the impact of an album born of personal obsession and a stubborn unwillingness to compromise.

Wajatta: Casual High Technology

Wajatta

Wajatta (pronounced wa-Ha-ta), as the name suggests, is a mash-up of the artist’s last names. Having grown up with similar musical influences, Austrian-born Tejada and German-born Watts draw from their love of urban, electronic music. Exploring the intersection between influences and innovation, the two describe Wajatta's music as “electronic dance music with its roots in Detroit techno, Chicago house, '70s funk and New York hip hop.” Tejada's deep, melodic production makes the perfect backing for Watt's wide vocal range and live looping skills.
