Summary

Mesa Sun Powers examines the intersection of technology and culture by exploring the integration of solar energy within Pueblo communities. It addresses a crucial question: Can these communities adopt modern renewable energy while preserving their indigenous heritage and traditions? The book argues for culturally sensitive approaches, emphasizing community involvement and respect for traditional values.

 
One intriguing fact is the deep connection Pueblo communities have to their land, which influences their building practices and energy choices. Another is the communal decision-making processes that are integral to their societies.

 
The book uniquely centers the voices of Pueblo community members, avoiding imposed solutions and facilitating collaboration in energy development. It progresses from establishing the historical and cultural context to detailing the technological aspects of solar energy tailored for Pueblo architecture. It then examines economic impacts like job creation and energy independence, and finally addresses cultural implications, such as effects on spiritual beliefs.

 
The book uses both quantitative data on solar energy production and qualitative data from interviews to support its arguments.

Women Who Invented the Sixties -...

Steve Golin

Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
 
 
 
In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
 
 
 
Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.
