Synopsis

Wooden Skyscrapers explores the innovative use of mass timber construction in modern architecture, presenting wood as a viable, sustainable alternative to steel and concrete. It examines how advancements in engineered wood products, like CLT and glulam, are making high-rise wood buildings possible, offering a path toward decarbonizing the built environment. The book highlights the potential of wood to not only reduce upfront carbon emissions but also to sequester carbon within the building's structure, contributing to a more sustainable future.

 
The book begins by establishing the history of timber construction and the science behind wood's structural properties and fire resistance. It then delves into the sustainability aspects of wood, including carbon sequestration and reduced energy consumption during production, comparing these factors to the environmental impacts of traditional materials. Through case studies and life cycle assessments, Wooden Skyscrapers provides a balanced perspective on the environmental and economic implications of wooden skyscrapers and their feasibility as a solution to urban housing needs.

 
Finally, the book addresses architectural and design considerations, such as fire safety and acoustics, and concludes with a discussion of the future of wooden skyscrapers, including potential challenges and policy recommendations. This approach provides a comprehensive view, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and anyone interested in the intersection of sustainable architecture and environmental science.

Robert Vennell

The history and use of New Zealand's native plants 
  
A guide and gift book in equal measure, this treasure of a book pays homage to New Zealand's native plant species. 
The Meaning of Trees tells the story of plants and people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Beautifully illustrated with botanical drawings, paintings and photographs, it shows us how a globally unique flora has been used for food, medicine, shelter, spirituality and science. From Jurassic giants to botanical oddballs - these are our wonderful native and endemic plants, in an exquisite hardback edition. 
Praise for The Meaning of Trees: 
'Robert Vennell makes wandering through our bush seem like a visit to a giant shopping centre. Over there is the kawakawa store, offering everything from an aphrodisiac to a gonorrhoea cure. Next door is the tutu cafe, where you can enjoy delicious wine or a refreshing laxative (though the seeds are deadly). On the top floor is the matai bar, where the berries aren't to everyone's taste, but the bushman's beer is great. And round the corner is the miro health centre. Every plant has a story and the result is delightfully informative.'

Walk the Lyme

Taylor Nelson

If you have Lyme disease, you know firsthand the desperation that comes from being misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and misdirected. You need straight answers and real solutions, but all you get is the runaround. Riding high as a hard-driving entrepreneur in the solar industry, Taylor Nelson contracted Lyme disease in his midtwenties. Spiraling down swiftly, he tried everything to feel like himself again, turning himself into a human guinea pig. He took coffee enemas and gave himself ozone injections. Police officers transported him to a psychiatric hospital (he talked his way out), and he gave sales sermons while on LSD—all because of Lyme. Years of experimentation and determination taught him how to manage a disease that can seem unmanageable.Candid and raw, Nelson doesn’t hold back. He shares his deeply personal story, what he tried, how it worked, and how to live a full life in the face of a devastating disease.
