Sinossi

Underground Secrets unveils the hidden world of subterranean architecture, exploring tunnels, buried cities, and other underground passages throughout history. From ancient times to the modern era, these structures have served various purposes, offering protection, enabling escape, and facilitating clandestine activities. The book reveals how societal anxieties and the need for security drove the creation of these hidden realms. For instance, the book describes how bunkers and bomb shelters impacted civilian populations during wartime, demonstrating the ingenuity and resourcefulness required to construct these subterranean spaces.

The book examines the origins of underground structures and their development through thematic chapters. It explores underground structures built for protection, underground cities and settlements, and secret tunnels used for smuggling and espionage.

The book synthesizes findings from each chapter, highlighting common threads that connect these diverse examples of underground architecture. This approach offers a comprehensive overview, drawing from archaeological surveys, historical documents, and architectural plans to provide a multifaceted understanding.

The book's value lies in its unique combination of historical analysis and architectural scrutiny, providing a holistic view of the role underground structures have played in shaping civilization. By considering how subterranean spaces can be integrated into modern city infrastructure, Underground Secrets demonstrates the potential for utilizing these spaces to address contemporary challenges like climate change and population density.

Drawing on timely insider knowledge from the worlds of impact investing, social justice, and more, Rashid illuminates a treasure trove of stories: demonstrating how people power can flow big bucks out of extractive industries, and into the economy of care and abundance we deserve.

To Live Peaceably Together - The...

Tracy E. K’Meyer

A groundbreaking look at how a predominantly white faith-based group reset the terms of the fight to integrate US cities. 
 
The bitterly tangled webs of race and housing in the postwar United States hardly suffer from a lack of scholarly attention. But Tracy K’Meyer’s To Live Peaceably Together delivers something truly new to the field: a lively examination of a predominantly white faith-based group—the Quaker-aligned American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)—that took a unique and ultimately influential approach to cultivating wider acceptance of residential integration. Built upon detailed stories of AFSC activists and the obstacles they encountered in their work in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Richmond, California, To Live Peaceably Together is an engaging and timely account of how the organization allied itself to a cause that demanded constant learning, reassessment, and self-critique. K’Meyer details the spiritual and humanist motivations behind the AFSC, its members’ shifting strategies as they came to better understand structural inequality, and how those strategies were eventually adopted by a variety of other groups. Her fine-grained investigation of the cultural ramifications of housing struggles provides a fresh look at the last seventy years of racial activism.
