Synopsis

Bunker Design Basics explores the history and engineering behind Cold War underground shelters as a response to nuclear anxieties. It examines how these structures were built for potential protection against nuclear blasts, focusing on the balance between safety, practicality, and affordability. The book argues that Cold War bunker designs offer important lessons for today's resilient infrastructure, applicable to challenges like disaster readiness and sustainable design, highlighting how understanding past solutions can inform future innovations.

 
The book details essential architectural elements like structural integrity, ventilation, and sanitation, crucial for habitable underground environments. It also investigates the use of materials like reinforced concrete and steel for blast and radiation resistance. Bunker Design Basics progresses through historical context, engineering principles, and case studies of Cold War bunkers, offering a comprehensive view of their design and construction.

 
The book's unique value lies in its integration of historical context with engineering principles, revealing the scientific reasoning and human considerations behind bunker creation. By presenting declassified documents, architectural plans, and scientific data, it provides a broad overview of bunker design, useful for understanding challenges in civil engineering, environmental science, and military history.

The Lonely Voice - A Study of...

Frank O'Connor

Frank O'Connor was one of the twentieth century's greatest short story writers, and one of Ireland's greatest authors. Lilliput Press are now delighted to continue our publishing of O'Connor's writing by bringing his seminal work on the art of the short story back into print.   
The Lonely Voice is the definitive work of Irish non-fiction on the art of writing short fiction, and has long been held up as one of the greatest works in global literature on the short form. We are delighted to bring The Lonely Voice back into print with a brand new introduction by Kevin Barry, internationally recognised as one of Ireland's greatests short story writers, whose work - like O'Connor's before him - appears frequently in the New Yorker. Barry engages and parrys with O'Connor's writing, bringing about a meeting of great Irish short story writers from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and bringing this foundational piece of Irish writing to a new generation.   
The ideal companion to works such as George Saunders A Swim in a Pond in the Rain or John Yorke's Into the Woods: How Stories Work and Why we Tell Them.
