Sinopsis

Courtyard Noise Reduction addresses the critical issue of urban noise pollution by exploring the untapped potential of courtyard design to create more acoustically comfortable environments. The book focuses on how strategic architectural design can mitigate noise, demonstrating that courtyard geometry, surface materials, and landscaping can act as a sophisticated sound dampening system. Interestingly, while courtyards have historically been valued for ventilation and light, their acoustic benefits have been less explored. 

 
The book uniquely combines acoustic principles with practical design recommendations, bridging the gap between research and implementation. It begins by establishing a theoretical framework for understanding sound behavior in courtyards and then examines different courtyard configurations through simulations and case studies. 

 
Ultimately, the book offers architects and urban planners specific design strategies to maximize noise reduction. This approach empowers professionals to integrate acoustic considerations early in the design process, leading to more sustainable and human-centered urban spaces.

British Cinema - A Very Short...

Cinema has had a hugely influential role on global culture in the twentieth century at multiple levels: social, political, and educational. The part of British cinema in this has been controversial—often derided as a whole, but also vigorously celebrated, especially in terms of specific films and film-makers. 
 
 
 
In this Very Short Introduction, Charles Barr considers films and filmmakers, and studios and sponsorship, against the wider view of changing artistic, socio-political, and industrial climates over the decades of the twentieth century. Considering British cinema in the wake of one of the most familiar of cinematic reference points—Alfred Hitchcock—Barr traces how British cinema has developed its own unique path, and has since been celebrated for its innovative approaches and distinctive artistic language.

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.
