Sinopsis

"Mud Hut Building" explores the sustainable and resourceful practice of mud construction, particularly in arid regions where it has served communities for millennia. The book delves into the material science behind using earth as a building resource, highlighting how different soil types are mixed and reinforced to create durable structures. It also examines the socio-cultural importance of these mud homes, often built through communal effort and deeply connected to local customs and family structures.

 
The book progresses from introducing the fundamentals of mud construction, like identifying suitable soils and essential techniques, to exploring diverse architectural styles shaped by local climates and cultural practices. Practical aspects such as foundation laying, wall building, and roof construction are covered in detail. One intriguing fact is how mud's thermal mass helps regulate indoor temperatures in harsh climates.

 
Ultimately, "Mud Hut Building" champions mud construction as a viable, eco-friendly housing solution. By integrating historical research, architectural analysis, and practical techniques, it provides a comprehensive understanding of this traditional practice, making it valuable for both researchers and those seeking affordable, sustainable housing options.

Out of Place Artifacts is a fascinating subject. There are too many of these unusual objects for them to be fakes. I’ve already written several books on this subject including “Strange Objects Which Should Not Exist”, “More Out of Place Objects”, and “A 300 Million Year Old Civilization Existed on Earth”. 
 In this book I’ve compiled everything I could find out about these unusual finds from my prior three books and additional research. 54 artifacts are covered in detail. 
 I’ve included all of this information except that specifically related to Aliens and UFOs since that information is in my books on those topics. 
 The information here is presented in five parts: 
 Part A: Artifacts Found in Historical Times 
Part B: Very Ancient Objects to Millions of Years Old 
Part C: A Civilization 300 Million Years Ago 
Part D: Human Footprints in Rock 
Part E: Artifacts of Undetermined Ages 
 I hope you find all of this information as interesting as I do since it changes our understanding of the history of our planet in incredible ways.

People often get away with belittling others if they frame their speech as jokes—speech that would be condemned if stated seriously. "It's just a joke," they say. But what is different or special about joking? And if jokes about lawyers and politicians are morally acceptable, then what is wrong with joking about race or gender? Furthermore, if we may joke about a politician's shirts, may we joke about his weight? People who are targeted by demeaning jokes feel their impact but may not be able to pinpoint where the harm lies. 
 
 
 
Dangerous Jokes develops a novel, well-researched, and compelling argument that lays bare the power of demeaning jokes in ordinary conversations. Claire Horisk draws on her expertise in philosophy of language and on evidence from sociology, law, and cognitive science to explain how the element of humor—so often used as a defense—makes jokes more potent than regular speech in communicating prejudice and reinforcing social hierarchies. She addresses the morality of telling, being amused by, and laughing at, derogatory jokes, and she gives a new account of listening that addresses the morality of listening to demeaning speech. She leaves us with no illusions about whether "it's just a joke" is an excuse for demeaning humor.
