Sinopse

"Eco-Friendly Roofs" explores how vegetated rooftops can transform urban spaces into more ecologically sustainable environments. It examines the science behind green infrastructure, highlighting benefits such as mitigating the urban heat island effect and improving stormwater management.

 
Did you know that green roofs can act as natural insulators, reducing a building's energy consumption? Or that they contribute to biodiversity by providing habitats for plants and animals in otherwise barren cityscapes?

 
The book uniquely integrates green roofs into broader urban planning strategies, promoting them as essential components of "green infrastructure" networks. It progresses from basic principles of green roof design and construction to in-depth analyses of their thermal regulation, stormwater management, and biodiversity enhancement capabilities.

 
Case studies and empirical evidence support the argument that eco-friendly roofs are not just aesthetic improvements, but vital elements for creating resilient urban ecosystems. The book makes its case by presenting scientific studies, successful project case studies, and economic analyses to reveal green roof technology as a viable and necessary tool for creating more sustainable and resilient cities.

 
It concludes by exploring emerging technologies and policy recommendations for wider adoption, making it a valuable resource for architects, urban planners, and anyone interested in sustainable urban development.

    Raiders of the Lost Ark is an action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas.

    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Harrison Ford ad-libbed the line "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage" to Marion on the ship.” 
      
    “The "body blow" sounds were made by striking a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat.” 
      
    “Alfred Molina had his first credited role in this film, where he had to endure being covered in tarantulas.” 
      
    “During filming in Tunisia, almost everyone on set fell ill, except for Steven Spielberg. He avoided sickness by only eating cans of Spaghetti-O's that he brought himself.” 
      
    “A python bit first assistant director David Tomblin during the "Well of Souls" scene, and it wouldn’t let go until someone grabbed its tail and snapped it, making the snake release its bite.”

    Sharon Marie Tate Polanski (January 24, 1943 - August 9, 1969) was an American actress and model who appeared in advertisements and small television and film roles. After receiving positive reviews for her comedic and dramatic acting performances, Tate was hailed as one of Hollywood's most promising newcomers, being compared favorably with the late Marilyn Monroe. Her first major role was as Jennifer North in the 1967 American drama film Valley of the Dolls, which earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination. On August 9, 1969, Tate and four others were murdered by members of the Manson Family in the home she shared with Polanski, while he was away. She was eight-and-a-half months pregnant. The following audio clips are from 1966 and 1967.
