  • The Architecture of Disability - Buildings Cities and Landscapes beyond Access - cover

    The Architecture of Disability -...

    Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but The Architecture of Disability calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for "the construction of disability," this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world. 
     
     
     
    Stressing the connection between architectural form and the capacities of the human body, David Gissen demonstrates how disability haunts the history and practice of architecture. Examining various historic sites, landscape designs, and urban spaces, he deconstructs the prevailing functionalist approach to accommodating disabled people in architecture and instead asserts that physical capacity is essential to the conception of all designed space. 
     
     
     
    By recontextualizing the history of architecture through the discourse of disability, Gissen presents a unique challenge to current modes of architectural practice, theory, and education. Envisioning an architectural design that fully integrates disabled persons into its production, it advocates for looking beyond traditional notions of accessibility and shows how certain incapacities can offer us the means to positively reimagine the roots of architecture.

    Politics for Everybody - Reading...

    In this age of nearly unprecedented partisan rancor, you’d be forgiven for thinking we could all do with a smaller daily dose of politics. In his provocative and sharp book, however, Ned O’Gorman argues just the opposite: Politics for Everybody contends that what we really need to do is engage more deeply with politics, rather than chuck the whole thing out the window. In calling for a purer, more humanistic relationship with politics—one that does justice to the virtues of open, honest exchange—O’Gorman draws on the work of Hannah Arendt (1906–75). As a German-born Jewish thinker who fled the Nazis for the United States, Arendt set out to defend politics from its many detractors along several key lines: the challenge of separating genuine politics from distorted forms; the difficulty of appreciating politics for what it is; the problems of truth and judgment in politics; and the role of persuasion in politics. O’Gorman’s book offers an insightful introduction to Arendt’s ideas for anyone who wants to think more carefully.

    Deborah’s Letters to Barak: 28 Conversations – A Young Man's Rites of Passage to Manhood 
    More than a book, Deborah’s Letters to Barak is a call to raise men of integrity, accountability, and purpose. Inspired by the biblical relationship between Deborah, a prophetess, and Barak, a leader called to rise, this book challenges young men to embrace true masculinity, break cycles of dysfunction, and reject toxic patterns—including those that fuel gender-based violence (GBV). 
    Through 28 transformative conversations, this book equips young men, empowers women to make informed choices, and helps communities reshape the narrative on manhood. It tackles leadership, emotional healing, father wounds, accountability, and generational impact, offering wisdom and practical guidance for personal transformation. 
    📖 Key Themes: 
     ✔ Redefining masculinity—balancing strength with responsibility and vulnerability. 
    ✔ Predator vs. Protector—raising men who safeguard, not exploit. 
    ✔ Healing from emotional wounds and fatherlessness—breaking cycles of dysfunction. 
    ✔ Discipleship and accountability—mentorship as a tool for character growth. 
    ✔ Empowering women with knowledge—helping them vet and support men of integrity. 
    ✔ Tackling GBV at the root—raising men who uplift and protect, not harm. 
    This book is for young men, parents, mentors, and women seeking to better understand men of character. It is a conversation starter for families, churches, and communities working to cultivate men who heal rather than harm.
