Sinossi

Windows Opened explores the fascinating history of glass windows, revealing their profound influence on architecture and interior design. From rudimentary openings to advanced glazing systems, the book traces the evolution of windows and their impact on our built environment. Windows are not merely functional components but cultural artifacts, fundamentally altering how we experience interior and exterior spaces. One intriguing fact is that the development of glassmaking techniques significantly impacted building practices across various periods, including their use in Roman villas and medieval cathedrals.

The book examines the integration of windows into architectural designs across different eras and cultures and the consequences of glazed apertures on interior environments and human behavior. By drawing from diverse sources like archaeological findings and historical documents, Windows Opened provides a chronological account of window development.

The book also touches on related fields like environmental science, examining the environmental consequences of window design in terms of energy consumption. This integrated approach, combining technological, architectural, and social perspectives, distinguishes the book, appealing to architects, historians, designers, and anyone curious about the built environment. The book begins by tracing the origins of glassmaking and its initial applications and progresses through distinct historical periods, ending with a discussion of contemporary window technology and sustainable architecture.

Readers gain insights into how window design has evolved alongside materials science and societal attitudes toward light, privacy, and ventilation. This exploration highlights the vital role of window design in shaping our built world.

Plato, Tim Zengerink

What if public wisdom was only a performance?

What you’ll discover inside: 
•	A powerful intellectual showdown between Socrates and the famed sophist Protagoras

•	A vivid, flowing modern translation designed to entertain as well as challenge 
Whether you're a teacher, student, or truth-seeker, Protagoras will leave you questioning the difference between knowledge and applause.

Hyperfocus: The Hidden Driver of...

EUROPEAN INSTITUTE FOR BINAURAL...

This audiobook helps to be more productive in a world of distraction.WHAT YOU GET:A powerful resource to get stuff done, become more creative, and live a meaningful life.Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. Many of us recognize that our brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, we feel compelled to do so anyway while we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless distraction. This audiobook provides tools how you can best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity throughout the day. The most recent neuroscientific research reveals that our brain has two powerful modes that can be unlocked when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the foundation for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which enables us to connect ideas in novel ways. This unique audiobook helps you access each of the two mental modes so you can concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately every day.Use the power of sound and improve your focus like never before. Several scientific studies have shown that certain sounds can put our brains into a highly relaxed and creative state using audio resonance. Here is a simple example: When you strike a tuning fork and then place another one next to it, the second tuning fork automatically begins to vibrate at exactly the same frequency. That's exactly what happens with BRAIN ENTRAINMENT, based on the principle of audio resonance. We stimulate our brainwaves with a low fundamental frequency - for better results when creating, focusing, studying and learning.Ready to move yourself in the right direction? Listen to the frequency based binaural soundscapes right now, and benefit from this system of creating your focus - and finding success. HEADPHONES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR BEST RESULTS!

Rockin’ in the Ivory Tower -...

James M. Carter

Histories of American rock music and the 1960s counterculture typically focus on the same few places: Woodstock, Monterey, Altamont. Yet there was also a very active college circuit that brought edgy acts like the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground to different metropolitan regions and smaller towns all over the country. These campus concerts were often programmed, promoted, and reviewed by students themselves, and their diverse tastes challenged narrow definitions of rock music. 
 
  
 
Rockin' in the Ivory Tower takes a close look at two smaller universities, Drew in New Jersey and Stony Brook on Long Island, to see how the culture of rock music played an integral role in student life in the late 1960s. Analyzing campus archives and college newspapers, historian James Carter traces connections between rock fandom and the civil rights protests, free speech activism, radical ideas, lifestyle transformations, and anti-war movements that revolutionized universities in the 1960s. Furthermore, he finds that these progressive students refused to segregate genres like folk, R&B, hard rock, and pop. Rockin' in the Ivory Tower gives listeners a front-row seat to a dynamic time for the music industry, countercultural politics, and youth culture.
