Synopsis

"Thick Wall Insulation" explores the potential of massive walls to improve both energy efficiency and acoustic performance in modern buildings. The book examines how the inherent thermal mass of thick walls helps regulate internal temperatures, reducing the need for energy-intensive climate control systems. It also highlights the ability of these walls to act as a natural barrier against noise pollution, creating more comfortable interior spaces. Interestingly, the book draws upon historical building techniques, demonstrating how these principles were employed long before modern insulation materials were available. 

 
The book systematically builds its case by first introducing the basic principles of thermal mass and sound transmission. It then analyzes building data to compare the performance of thick-walled buildings with standard constructions. Two central chapters delve into the specifics of thermal insulation and sound abatement in varying climates. 

 
Finally, the book evaluates the lifecycle costs, including construction, operation, and maintenance, to demonstrate the long-term economic benefits of this sustainable building approach, offering practical applications for architects and builders.

    A compact and charming history of the beloved handcrafted font by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
     
     
     
    Albertus, first carved on a bronze tablet in the 1930s by German Jewish refugee Berthold Wolpe, has proved to be one of the most enduring handcrafted typefaces in the world. It is at once modern and timeless, authoritative and whimsical—renowned as the typeface of London Street signs, David Bowie albums, and Star Wars movie posters. In this unique celebration, bestselling author Simon Garfield charts the story of the creation of Albertus, its innumerable and vibrant uses, and the erratic brilliance of its designer, as recounted by Wolpe's children. Through his exploration of this singular font, Garfield grapples with one of the most fundamental artistic questions: what makes great art not only survive but flourish in each new age and medium?

    Born in 1860 in a small Czech town, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist on the forefront of Art Nouveau, the modernist movement that swept Paris in the 1910s, marking a return to the simplicity of natural forms, and changing the world of art and design forever. In fact, Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the "Mucha style" for the legions of imitators who adapted the master's celebrated tableaux. Today, his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone, inspiring album covers, comic books, and everything in between. Patrick Bade and Victoria Charles offer readers an inspiring survey of Mucha's career.

    Growing up around music, young George was inspired to piece together a makeshift drum set and teach himself to play as he practiced in the dark, dank basement of his rundown New Jersey townhouse. 
     
     
     
    He soon joined forces with his friends to form a group called the Jazziacs, which then evolved into Kool & The Gang, a band that began charting hits while its members were still teenagers. By evolving their sound as musical tastes changed, the band was able to stay on the charts for decades, scoring twelve Top 10 hits in Funk, R&B, Pop, and Rock, and selling over seventy million albums while navigating the highs and lows of their career. 
     
     
     
    In Too Hot, drummer, keyboardist, and primary songwriter George Brown describes life in and out of the band, including a raucous life on the road as the band's popularity grew. He weathered the ups and downs of his musical career and navigated many challenges, including prescription drug addiction and depression. 
     
     
     
    George shares how his recent cancer scare, and subsequent treatment, compelled him to share his story, warts and all, to give listeners a glimpse into a band whose reputation was considered relatively tame, when in reality, it was exactly the opposite.
