Beschreibung

"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.

Whistling Dixie - Ronald Reagan...

Jonathan Bartho

Jonathan Bartho's Whistling Dixie explores the interdependent political relationship between Ronald Reagan and the white conservative South—a relationship that had a profound impact on Reagan's own career, on the political landscape of the South and the entire United States, and on the identity of the modern Republican Party. Millions of southerners were attracted to the GOP by Reagan's anti-statist ideology and their affection for the man himself—an affection that had been built over decades of appearances in the region. The support of these white southern conservatives was crucial to Reagan's political success, ultimately propelling him to the White House in 1980. Conversely, by supporting Reagan's presidential campaigns, southern conservatives were able to influence the direction of the Republican Party and begin restoring their region to a position of power in Washington. 
 
 
 
Bartho deftly provides a new perspective on Reagan's political career and the Republican Party of the Reagan era while detailing the often-rancorous philosophical differences between Reaganism and southern conservatism and the resulting political conflicts. Whistling Dixie highlights a divide in the Republican Party and in American conservatism that has often been overlooked—a divide that laid the foundations for the GOP's southernization and ultimately led to the rise of Donald Trump.

History of Las Vegas: A...

Captivating History

A fantasy playground in an unforgiving desert. A town that refused to fail. A gambling mecca that never closes. Las Vegas. Sin City.
Situated in a barren desert landscape, Las Vegas exists for one reason—water. Popular as a waystation for travelers, the Las Vegas Valley attracted the attention of railroad visionaries at the end of the 19th century. After purchasing land from a local widow, the developers laid out a town in 1905. Vegas hasn’t slowed down since.
Building on one opportunity after another, the citizens of that railroad town refused to entertain the notion that they could fail. Buoyed by the building of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) during the Great Depression, Vegas played a major role in World War II. But the war years also put Las Vegas on the radar of organized crime as a wide-open town ripe for casinos that hid extensive money-laundering operations.
Now a place for both families and high rollers, Las Vegas has no mercy when it comes to re-invention. In Sin City, the old constantly makes way for the new—and there’s always something new on the horizon.
This captivating guide tells the story of Las Vegas from prehistory to the empire building of developers. In these pages, you’ll read about local legends and gain insight into the heart of a city created for practical reasons but built on outrageous whimsy and the guts to carve its own way to greatness.
In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The prehistory of a valley once filled with marshy land and flowing rivers.The role pioneers, including Mormon missionaries, played in the development of the town.The adventures and influence of founding citizens like Charles “Pop” Squires and Helen J. Stewart.And so much more!
