Synopsis

Thatch Roof Cooling examines the viability of thatch roofs as a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative for heat mitigation in building design. The book challenges the perception of thatch as merely a traditional material, instead positioning it as a practical solution for contemporary energy conservation. It explores the thermal performance of thatch, noting its low thermal conductivity and high thermal mass, which historically provided comfortable indoor environments without reliance on mechanical cooling.

 
The book systematically builds its argument by first introducing the fundamentals of heat transfer and the properties of thatch. It progresses through case studies of traditional structures, delves into the science behind thatch's insulative capabilities using thermal imaging and heat flux measurements, and explores modern adaptations addressing fire resistance and durability. It highlights the potential benefits of widespread thatch adoption, including reduced carbon footprint and rural economic development, framing thatch as a sustainable material relevant to architectural design and passive cooling.

    Celia Paul's Letters to Gwen John centers on a series of letters addressed to the Welsh painter Gwen John (1876–1939), who has long been a tutelary spirit for Paul. John spent much of her life in France, making art on her own terms and, like Paul, painting mostly women. John's reputation was overshadowed during her lifetime by her brother, Augustus John, and her lover Auguste Rodin. Through the epistolary form, Paul draws fruitful comparisons between John's life and her own: their shared resolve to protect the sources of their creativity, their fierce commitment to painting, and the ways in which their associations with older male artists affected the public's reception of their work. 
     
     
     
    Letters to Gwen John is at once an intimate correspondence, an illuminating portrait of two painters, and a writer/artist's daybook, describing Paul's first exhibitions in America, her search for new forms, her husband's diagnosis of cancer, and the onset of the global pandemic. Paul, who first revealed her talents as a writer with her memoir, Self-Portrait, enters with courage and resolve into new unguarded territory—the artist at present—and the work required to make art out of the turbulence of life. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Ethnographic Insights and Rare Photographs from the Early 20th Century.
    This remarkable volume brings together rare archival photographs from the Ethnological Museum of St. Petersburg and a deeply researched ethnographic narrative that illuminates the spiritual worlds of Siberian and Korean shamans. Captured in the early 1900s, these images bear witness to a time when ritual, myth, and everyday life were inseparable.
    Through detailed commentary and vivid illustration, the book explores shamanic cosmologies, ceremonial practices, healing rites, and the social roles of shamans within their communities. From the trance dances of Korean mudang to the animistic traditions of Siberian kam, each page reveals the profound connection between humans and the spirit realm.
    More than a visual archive, this is a cultural testimony—an invitation to understand indigenous knowledge systems before they were disrupted by modernity. A treasure for scholars, seekers, and anyone drawn to the mysteries of ancestral wisdom.

    In the wake of the blockbuster television success of "Dancing with the Stars," competitive ballroom dance has become a subject of new fascination—and renewed scrutiny. Known by its practitioners as DanceSport, ballroom is a significant dance form and a fascinating cultural phenomenon. In this first in-depth study of the sport, dancer and dance historian Juliet McMains explores the "Glamour Machine" that drives the thriving industry, delving into both the pleasures and perils of its seductions. She further explores the broader social issues invoked in American DanceSport: representation of "Latin," economics that often foster inequality, and issues of identity, including gender, race, class, and sexuality. Putting ballroom dance in the larger contexts of culture and history, Glamour Addiction makes an important contribution to dance studies, while giving new and veteran enthusiasts a unique and unprecedented glimpse behind the scenes.

    In this often witty, sometimes furious, and sometimes downright surreal collection, James Domestic does - as per usual - whatever the hell he likes, with poetry, prose, and lyrics, all thrown into the mix with abandon. Punk, politics, habit, the nature of work, the environment, nostalgia, aging, and some quintessentially British whimsy, all crammed in together like a last minute bag hurriedly packed for tour. Somehow it works. A man in too many bands to count (The Domestics, PI$$ER, Da Groins, Tokyo Lungs... that's not even half of 'em), a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, someone who failed miserably at school, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD (yep, it's genuinely Dr Domestic!). A square peg in life's round hole. A face that never really fitted. He couldn't care less. Come along for the ride. Domesticated is an eighty page collection of James Domestics street-poetry and punk-prose.He's always on the road and at the gigs. His poetry has earned him comparisons to John Cooper Clarke, Ivor Cutler, Spike Milligan and Banjamin Zephaniah, amongst others.
