Beschreibung

Adobe Cooling Walls explores the potential of ancient adobe construction techniques to address modern cooling challenges, focusing on sustainable building practices. The book highlights adobe's inherent thermal properties, particularly its ability to act as thermal mass, absorbing and releasing heat to regulate indoor temperatures.

 
Readers may be surprised to learn that strategically designed adobe walls can significantly reduce reliance on energy-intensive air conditioning, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. The book presents a systematic analysis, starting with the historical and scientific context of adobe, including its prevalence in arid climates. It then delves into the practical applications of adobe's thermal mass, examining factors like wall thickness and orientation.

 
Case studies from around the globe showcase successful and unsuccessful implementations of adobe cooling, while modern adaptations demonstrate how adobe can be integrated with contemporary technologies. This interdisciplinary approach bridges traditional methods with modern science, making it a valuable resource for those interested in design and architecture.

    A prize-winning Belgian poet explores the nature of creative endeavor—the godlike ambition, the crushing defeat of failure—through the stories of thirteen tragic architects. 
     
     
     
    In thirteen fascinating chapters, Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal to their architects—architects who either killed themselves or are rumored to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire in seventeenth-century France to a theater that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC, and an eerily sinking swimming pool in the author's hometown. Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Darwin to art history, stories from her own life, and popular culture, Van den Broeck brings patterns into focus as she asks, What is that strange, life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator? 
     
     
     
    Threaded through each story is the author's meditation on the question of suicide—what Albert Camus called the "one truly serious philosophical problem"—in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking ground in literary nonfiction, as well as providing solace and consolation to anyone who has ever attempted a creative act.

    With Great Power - How...

    If Hollywood had a superhero throne, Spider-Man would be perched upon it. As the most popular superhero in the world, the web-slinger plays a pivotal role in three of the six highest-grossing film franchises in history: the Marvel Cinematic Universe; the Avengers quadrilogy; and the Spider-Man movies themselves. 
     
     
     
    Spidey has come a long way since Marvel guru Stan Lee first concocted him in 1962, but until now his cinematic journey has not been fully documented. The wall-crawler's history in Hollywood is a saga filled with failed attempts, behind-the-scenes squabbles, franchise reboots, corporate intrigue, and a host of A-list names—including, of course, stars Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. With Great Power is a lively and memorable account of the character's rise to box-office supremacy, revealing how his movies continue to influence the comic-book adaptations being made today. Drawing on exclusive access to and extensive interviews with directors, actors, producers, and screenwriters, veteran film reporter and author Sean O'Connell here gives the inside scoop on how Spider-Man clambered his way to the top of Hollywood's superhero heap.
