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.

    You Are Looking Live! is about the genesis, success, and magic of a live television show that in 1975 captured the excitement of the country, and launched four magnetic personalities to stardom: Brent Musburger, Phyllis George, Irv Cross, and Jimmy The Greek Snyder. It was the first NFL studio show to go live and the first to have both a Black and female cohost. Those four personalities battled each other and the competition, and America loved them for it. 
     
     
     
    This is the story of how Brent, Phyllis, Irv, and Jimmy got there, their drama and front-page headlines, and what happened to them after the magic ended. Those headlines included Brent and The Greek's famous fight at Peartrees, Phyllis first marrying the man who produced The Godfather, then dropping him after two months for the next governor of Kentucky, and the shocking firing of Musburger on April Fool's Day, 1990. 
     
     
     
    America had never seen a show like this before. The NFL Today became so popular that it not only dominated the ratings, but also won its timeslot eighteen straight years, from 1975 to 1993, until CBS lost its NFL package to Fox. And today, looking back, these four personalities, like any family, had their own battles, and became even more famous for them.
