Sinopsis

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.

From Scripture to Screen: Understanding How We All Direct Our Own Jesus Story 
 
In this innovative book, two respected New Testament scholars explore the ways the Jesus story has been told and retold from the earliest Gospel writings to contemporary film adaptations. John Anthony Dunne and Jeannine Brown highlight what later narratives can teach us about the hermeneutical process we employ, knowingly or unknowingly, as we read the Gospels. 
 
In this book, you will 
 
● learn how we visualize the Jesus story in particular ways as we read the Gospels, inevitably casting actors, blocking scenes, and interpreting dialogue as we imagine our own Jesus film; 
● journey through two thousand years of storytelling to discover how humanity has grappled with the Jesus narrative, from Gospel harmonizations to modern cinema; 
● discover how Jesus films illuminate the interpretive choices we make when reading Scripture, from filling narrative gaps to characterizing Judas, Pilate, and Jesus himself; and 
● benefit from rigorous New Testament scholarship made accessible through engaging analysis of contemporary film adaptations. 
 
The Greatest Story Ever Retold accounts for the ways humanity has been grappling with the Jesus story for two millennia, often casting it in a way that forms to our own questions and identities. The authors show that Jesus films can help us think through how and why we direct our own film in the way that we do when we read or hear the story of Jesus. 
 
This book is essential reading for students, scholars, and anyone interested in how we interpret Scripture, create meaning from biblical narratives, and participate in the ongoing retelling of Christianity's central story.

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), born in Tupelo, Mississippi, was an American singer and actor. Referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll," he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. Presley's sexually provocative performance style, combined with a mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, brought both great success and initial controversy. The following audio clips are from an interview in 1960, and press conferences in 1970 and 1972.
