Summary

Mud Brick Revival highlights the resurgence of adobe construction as a sustainable and economically sound alternative for modern homebuilding. It argues for the environmental advantages, structural integrity, and economic feasibility of using mud brick, or adobe, as a primary building material. The book explores the potential of earthen materials to meet contemporary housing needs, drawing on historical precedents and modern engineering principles. Adobe's breathability and thermal mass contribute to energy-efficient housing, making homes more comfortable.

 
The book systematically progresses through key areas, beginning with the history and evolution of mud brick techniques across various cultures. It then examines the environmental benefits of adobe, comparing its carbon footprint to conventional materials. Case studies from around the world showcase innovative designs and engineering, followed by an analysis of the economic aspects, including material costs and long-term energy savings. This offers a practical, solutions-oriented guide for architects, builders, and homeowners interested in environmentally conscious building and sustainable homes.

  • How Documentaries Went Mainstream - A History 1960-2022 - cover

    How Documentaries Went...

    Since the 1960s, documentary films have moved closer to the mainstream, thanks to the popularity of rockumentaries, association with the independent film movement, support from public and cable television, and the rise of streaming video services. Documentary films have become reliable earners at the US box office and ubiquitous on streaming platforms, while historically they existed on the margins of mainstream media. 
     
     
     
    The growing commercialization of documentary film has not gone unnoticed, but it has not been sufficiently explained. Streaming and the growing interest in reality TV are usually offered as explanations whenever a documentary enters the cultural conversation or breaks a box-office record, but neither of those causes grapple with the overlapping causal mechanisms that commercialized documentary film. How Documentaries Went Mainstream provides a more comprehensive and meaningful periodization of the commercialization of documentary film. Although the commercial ascension of documentary films might seem meteoric, it is the culmination of decades-long efforts that have developed and fortified the audience for documentary features. Author Nora Stone refines rough explanations of these efforts through a robust history of the market for documentary films, using knowledge of film economics and the norms of industry discourse to tell a richer story.

    Though Nevermind was Nirvana's most commercially successful album, and the record that broke them - and the grunge phenomenon - internationally, In Utero has increasingly become regarded as the band's best album, both by the critics and the band members themselves. Instead of sticking to the "grunge pop" formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that the band's creative force, Kurt Cobain, said truly matched his vision of what he had always wanted his band to sound like. Here, the full story behind the creation of In Utero is told for the first time.
