Synopsis

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.

    The Hindi translation of The Living Mountain. 
    A new story from internationally renowned author Amitav Ghosh, Mahaparbat is a cautionary tale of how we have systematically exploited nature, leading to an environmental collapse. 
    Recounted as a dream, this is a fable about Mahaparbat, the Living Mountain; the indigenous valley dwellers who live and prosper in its shelter; the assault on the mountain for commercial benefit by the Anthropoi, humans whose sole aim is to reap the bounty of nature; and the disaster that unfolds as a result. 
    Mahaparbat is especially relevant today when we have been battling a pandemic and are facing a climate catastrophe: both of which are products of our insufficient understanding of mankind's relationship with nature, and our sustained appropriation and abuse of natural resources. This is a book of our times, for our times, and it will resonate strongly with readers of all ages.

    The subjects of time and dimensional travel really fascinate me. I went to Engineering School and took advanced courses in physics and mathematics so I have a pretty good understanding of science’s view of our Universe. 
    I’ve also been fortunate to have learned and practiced techniques to become more spiritually and psychically developed. One of the things this led to were my numerous experiences with premonitions and prophecy which I’ve written about. 
    My research also led me to write several books about stories of real time travel and dimensional shifting experiences. 
    This book is a series and questions and answers to review and discuss what I’ve learned about time and dimensions which I hope will shed some light on the mysteries of these strange phenomena. 
    The world is much more mysterious than we ever thought possible and our speculation is part of our developing an understanding of our universe.

    Narrated by Matthew Schmitz of Altrusian Grace Media - Please make sure you check out all the amazing audiobooks released by AGM! "The Chemists Key to Shut and Open: As the True Doctrine of the Corruption and Generation in Ten Brief Aphorisms, Illustrated with most plain and faithful Commentaries, out of the Pure Light of Nature: By that Judicious and Industrious Artist 
    Henry Nollius, 1617. This book having worth enough in itself needs not my commendation, this Author in his lifetime being an eminent physician and most able Philosopher as the discourse itself can best testify. The translator also wanted not judgment to choose what was best in his kind, nor abilities to perform, the choice being made. It is I alone that appear here as Menelaus at that feast in the Iliad, who came though not invited. I shall not endeavor to excuse myself, for I come not empty but will contribute somewhat to the collation. The Author builds on good principles, so that his Theory is as true as it is plausible; and I presume he aimed at nothing more, leaving all particulars and their application to the industry of his readers. He is sometimes pleased to descend to examples, but to such only as are natural, and they indeed are good to teach but hard to imitate. We see not all that Nature does."
