Sinossi

Tree Architecture explores the intersection of trees and architectural design, revealing how nature's forms inspire sustainable and innovative building practices. It examines how architectural designs mimic tree structures for enhanced stability using biomimicry, such as emulating branching patterns to distribute weight efficiently. The book also highlights the ecological role of trees in urban settings, emphasizing their ability to improve air quality and mitigate the urban heat island effect.

 
The book is divided into three central themes, moving from direct inspiration to sustainable materials and ecological roles. It assesses the use of wood and engineered wood products, detailing their benefits and limitations concerning climate change. Case studies and examples illustrate the practical application of integrating trees into architectural projects, offering a vision for nature-integrated design.

 
What makes this book unique is it's comprehensive approach, bridging architectural theory with ecological practice. Using an accessible yet informed tone, Tree Architecture highlights the importance of understanding both architectural principles and ecological concepts to foster sustainable building solutions.

    It’s a trauma like no other. 
    Being perceived as a threat or, worse, hunted as food makes an animal attack a unique ordeal. Suddenly you’re helpless, at its mercy. When an animal strikes it is lightning fast, determined and can’t be reasoned with. Often brutally violent, such an attack can leave horrific injuries, both physical and emotional that endure long after the encounter. 
    Whether it’s a great white shark, a bear, lion, or other deadly predator, the impact such attacks can have on the victim, their families, the communities, and the wider human psyche is often profound and enduring. And when you add the media attention that such incidents often attract, the actual bite might not be the only attack a survivor has to endure. 
    In Bite Club, we meet brave people from around the world who have come face to face with sharks or other deadly predators and lived to tell the tale. And we learn of the group of survivors who are supporting each other to navigate, recover and grow from what is for many, their most traumatic experience ever.

    To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
    It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
    But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

    In Escaping the Housing Trap: The Strong Towns Solution to the Housing Crisis, renowned urbanists Charles (Chuck) Marohn and Daniel Herriges introduce a first-of-its-kind discussion of the tension between housing as a financial product and housing as shelter. This is the key insight that's been missing from the Housing Crisis Conversation; and the insight that can help cities fight back against the crisis from the bottom-up. 
     
     
     
    This book offers a serious, yet accessible, history of housing policy in the United States and explains how it led us to this point in time: where we face a market that is rigged against people who, only a few decades ago, could have been homeowners or stable, long-term rentals. 
     
     
     
    Escaping the Housing Trap is the must-have resource for everyone with a stake in the future of housing in America—and that means everyone. Listeners will find discussions of housing as an investment and how the country's neighborhoods are being transformed by the introduction of large amounts of investment; explorations of housing as shelter, including discussions of zoning policy and NIMBYism; and a comprehensive overview of the Strong Towns approach to solving the American housing crisis.
