Sinopsis

Pueblo Architecture Secrets reveals the sustainable and climate-resilient design principles embedded in the adobe architecture of the Pueblo people in the Southwestern United States. This architectural design offers valuable lessons for contemporary building practices.

 
One intriguing aspect is how the thermal mass of adobe naturally regulates indoor temperatures, keeping homes cool in the summer and warm in the winter, reducing the need for energy-intensive heating and cooling systems. The book also explores the ingenious methods used to manage water and prevent erosion in arid climates, showcasing the deep understanding of environmental design.

 
The book delves into the properties of adobe, detailing wall construction, roof systems, and passive solar strategies, demonstrating how they contribute to a dwelling's overall performance. It presents architectural surveys, engineering analyses, environmental data, and ethnographic research.

 
By integrating engineering principles with cultural context, Pueblo Architecture Secrets provides a holistic perspective, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and anyone interested in sustainable building and indigenous architectural traditions.

    Sammy Davis, Jr. opened it. Luther Vandross closed it. During the 19 years in between, a who’s who of the world’s top entertainers and speakers performed on the novel revolving stage of the Front Row Theatre, from Liberace to Alice Cooper, Jay Leno to Jerry Seinfeld, Marlene Dietrich to Dolly Parton, Presidents Ford and Carter and culinary grand dame Julia Child. Many were unknown opening acts, like Whitney Houston. Another, the legendary Roy Orbison, would unknowingly perform the final concert of his life there. 
    Cleveland Landmarks Press’ newest release, As the Stage Turned: A Front Row Theatre Memoir, captures the dynamic energy that sprung from one of the most unique entertainment venues in the country – a theater-in-the-round located in the sleepy suburb of Highland Heights, just outside of Cleveland. 
    Jeannie Emser Schultz, the venue’s longtime former director of marketing and publicity, has written a memoir capturing the star power and draw of the Front Row. It’s an homage to seemingly everything related to show business and the cultural significance of that famed theater that drew the biggest and brightest stars of its day. 
    For instance, where else would you learn that several days into Sammy Davis’s opening run at the Front Row in 1974, he received a phone call threatening his life? Or that the only way Frank Sinatra would agree to perform there was if he and his entire entourage could rent out the Shaker Heights home of Larry Dolin, the founder and president of the Front Row? Or that comedian Bob Newhart always kept a nude picture on his dressing room table of Anthony Newley looking backwards through his legs (Newhart told Emser Schultz it was one of the funniest pictures he ever saw)? 
    Emser Schultz’s narrative takes readers on a detailed and behind-the-scenes firsthand journey of the almost 20-year history of what was considered one of America’s most significant entertainment venues. Revisit your own fond memories of a lost Cleveland classic.

    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.
