Faith by Design
Why does one doorway feel like an invitation to step carefully, while another is just an opening in a wall? Why do some rooms carry a hush even when they are full? This book explores how sacred architecture quietly shapes spiritual experience long before a single word of prayer is spoken. Moving from towering cathedrals to intimate courtyards and neighbourhood shrines, it shows how religious buildings design uses light, shadow and movement to express belief. You will see how spiritual space design works through thresholds, routes and focal points; how light in worship spaces can teach as much as texts; and how sacred geometry in temples and other sites encodes ideas of harmony and order. Along the way, stories of church mosque temple complexes, interfaith centres and repurposed warehouses reveal how old patterns adapt to new cities. This is not a technical manual but a guide for anyone who has ever felt a sudden stillness in stone or wood and wondered why. It offers practical insight for those designing contemplative spaces, curating architecture of pilgrimage, or creating interfaith sacred spaces and everyday sanctuaries at home. Whether you are a designer, a person of faith, or simply someone who loves walking cities, this book will help you read the theology written in walls, windows and streets, and to notice how built forms can gently deepen attention, reverence and care.

The value of building bioclimatic residential buildings in tropical environments from local materials
This book, aimed at Engineers, Architects, Building Technicians, and Students, offers a crucial insight into bioclimatic building construction in Tropical Africa. It addresses the common oversight of climatic characteristics in building design, emphasizing the need to consider weather conditions, especially in warm periods. The book analyzes current housing, compares it with vernacular and colonial models, and proposes bioclimatic designs using passive architectural techniques.A key model involves a mathematical analysis of complex admittances, considering local materials like hollow blocks, BTCS, terracotta bricks, laterite stones, granite rubble, and vibrated mortar tiles. Combined with passive techniques, this forms a bioclimatic building model tailored to dry tropical climates. The author, in accessible language, advocates for promoting locally available materials as alternatives to conventional ones, anticipating potential shortages in building aggregates in tropical African countries.

Designing for Health and Wealth
MOST LUXURY BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO IMPRESS. FEW ARE DESIGNED TO PERFORM.Developers and hotel owners can spend millions on finishes and still end up with an asset that quietly under-delivers: restless guests, softer reviews, and repeated complaints about "noise" or "air" that no one can quite diagnose.

That gap costs money.DESIGNING FOR HEALTH AND WEALTH is a strategic playbook for developers, hotel executives, and property investors who want environments that work as hard as they look. It translates evidence-based design into practical decisions across layout, lighting, materials, acoustics, and indoor air, so spaces support comfort, recovery, focus, and repeat business.THIS IS NOT A DECORATING BOOK. It's design as leverage, grounded in biophilic design, neuroarchitecture, and interior psychology.YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO: Reduce hidden stressors that erode guest experience and liveabilityDesign for calm and clarity without turning the project into a "wellness theme"Avoid expensive mid-project redesigns by designing for human response from day oneBuild spaces that strengthen retention, brand perception, and long-term asset value

Ferris Bueller...You're My Hero
Ferris Bueller...You're My Hero is the definitive behind-the-scenes look at one of the most beloved comedies of all time: Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Author Jason Klamm takes readers inside John Hughes' creative hot streak--fresh off Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club--as teen angst gave way to slapstick humor, surreal storytelling, and a hero who knew exactly where the camera was. As Ferris Bueller's Day Off celebrates its 40th anniversary, go behind the scenes as Hughes shot over a million feet of film before the movie was even halfway finished, navigated studio panic, and turned controlled chaos into cinematic magic. Built from 125 new, exclusive interviews, this all-access account features candid stories from Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Cindy Pickett, James Hughes (John's son), producers, soundtrack musicians, parade attendees, museum staff, high-school actors--even the legendary school-bus Gummy Bear Girl ("They've been in my pocket. They're real warm and soft"). Additional Hughes alumni, including Jon Cryer and Andrew McCarthy, weigh in on the lasting impact of the film and its creator. Featuring never-before-seen photos and unforgettable on-set stories, this book reveals how Ferris Bueller's Day Off broke the rules, bent reality, and turned skipping school into a masterclass in rebellion for an entire generation.
What Are We Doing to Our Children? - A Teacher's Journey Through the British Education System
What Are We Doing to Our Children charts my thirty-year journey as a drama teacher, both in and beyond the classroom. Part memoir, part social commentary, it shines a light on what is really happening in our schools, blending lived experience, observation, and the stories I felt urgently needed to be told.At its core, this book explores why parents, students, teachers and those working across education are drowning under the weight of expectation imposed by the current system. It exposes the damaging mismatch between a rigid national curriculum and the specific, local and diverse realities in which teachers are compelled to work. Above all, it reveals how we consistently underestimate our young people - masking their insight, creativity and emotional intelligence beneath relentless pressures of attainment and performance.What Are We Doing to Our Children? is a powerful book which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Karen Wilson's writing is personal, passionate and perceptive: she discusses all the major issues in the light of her own wide experience; she clearly cares deeply about children and young people; and she understands their needs and the damage done to them by aspects of the current education system.

Hip-Hop Theology
Hip-hop has crossed boundaries in recent years--from comic books (Into the Spiderverse) to Broadway (Hamilton). For over fifty years, hip-hop has grown as a cultural icon. There's no escaping it. How does hip-hop fit within Christianity? Can hip-hop beats be sanctified? Can perverse lyrics serve the kingdom? In other words, "What has Jerusalem to do with the Bronx, or Compton, or the South Side of Chicago, or the west side of Houston?" Senior scholars, emerging scholars, and practitioners have joined voices to help answer to these questions. Less driven by swag and beats, this volume analyzes thoughtful artists exploring redemptive, complex, and sometimes problematic themes
The Shoemakers. A scientific play with 'songs' in three acts.
The Shoemakersby Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy)A wildly original political satire that feels startlingly modern.Written in 1934, The Shoemakers is a bold, darkly comic stage play that explores revolution, power, class struggle, and the rise of technocracy. Set in a shoemakers' workshop that becomes the unlikely center of social upheaval, the play follows a series of rapid political transformations-each more extreme and absurd than the last.As governments fall and new regimes take control, one question remains: does revolution truly change anything-or simply replace one system with another?Blending satire, absurdist theatre, and sharp philosophical commentary, Witkacy creates a world where ideology turns theatrical, language becomes unstable, and human identity is caught in the machinery of history. The play's subtitle-"a scientific play with songs in three acts"-hints at its experimental form: part political farce, part intellectual drama, part grotesque comedy.Readers and theatre lovers will discover: A biting critique of authoritarianism, revolution, and technocratic ruleA groundbreaking work of 20th-century European dramaA precursor to the Theatre of the AbsurdSharp political satire that still resonates todayA daring mix of comedy, philosophy, and theatrical experimentationBoth unsettling and darkly hilarious, The Shoemakers challenges audiences to rethink power, ideology, and the future of society.Perfect for readers interested in political drama, absurdist theatre, modernist literature, and avant-garde European plays, this classic work by Witkacy remains as provocative and relevant as ever.If you are drawn to bold ideas, experimental theatre, and sharp social commentary, The Shoemakers is an essential addition to your library.
Romare Bearden
The first publication to focus on a rarely seen series of jazz-infused collages that explore the African American experience and the artist's lifelong relationship to jazz music, by one of the most important and influential visual artists of the twentieth century. Bearden (1911-1988) was a prominent African American artist often described as the consummate jazz painter, known for his innovative collages that explored themes of Black American culture, history, and personal experiences. This publication reexamines Bearden's life and work in the context of jazz, tracing the musician's impact from the artists' earliest oil paintings to his iconic collages. In 1981, Bearden created nineteen collages that the artist called his "Paris Blues," or simply "Jazz," series. Conceived as pages for an oversized book that would be a response to the Hollywood movie Paris Blues (1961)--though featuring Harlem and New Orleans along with Paris--the series has been little known until now. Here the wildly colorful illustrations are set alongside Bearden's encounters with iconic jazz musicians, clubs, and cities. Examined for the first time in depth, the Paris Blues series makes a major statement on the relationships between visual art, jazz music, and urban spaces. The book also includes poignant photographs of Bearden and musicians in the 1950s-70s, such as Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.

Developing 007
THIS VOLUME INCLUDES OVERVIEWS OF IAN FLEMING'S LAST SEVEN 007 NOVELS INCLUDING FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, THUNDERBALL, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, OCTOPUSSY AND THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS PLUS THEIR CORRESPONDING FILM ADAPTATIONSSince his debut on the paperback rack in 1953, Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 has become a staple of pop culture. However, fans of the films far outnumber readers of Fleming's original novels, which is a shame. If you've ever wondered how closely the films followed the books they are based on, this is the tome for you as it charts the writing process of the novels and the screenplays. In the final 007 stories, you'll see Bond stalk Blofeld through his Garden of Death, get amnesia, try to assassinate M, and shoot it out with Scaramanga in the swamps of Jamaica with Felix Leiter. In discarded screenplays, you'll see 007 join the USO to find stolen atomic bombs, face off with rival agent 009, dismantle a radical SPECTRE upstart hellbent on nothing but anarchy, and thwart Max Zorin's scheme to destroy Silicon Valley via Halley's Comet. Lastly, in addition to EON's classic Ian Fleming adaptations, this book also charts the complicated co-production of Thunderball (1965) and Sean Connery's return to the role of James Bond for Never Say Never Again (1983).
Frank Frazetta
Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for well over 50 years, the value of his paintings now climbing as high as his fans' admiration. Each year his works break the previous year's auction records, with the cover for Lancer books 1967 Conan bringing $13.5 million in September 2025.Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. Self-described as lazy and difficult, he often started a painting the night before it was due, completing it in mere hours, yet delivering a masterpiece--often still wet, but a masterpiece, nonetheless. He started in comics at age 16, including the infamous EC Comics, moved on to film posters, then to Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Along the way he produced magazine covers for National Lampoon, though at odds with the editors' "hippy politics," made the animated film Fire & Ice with director Ralph Bakshi, and learned to paint left-handed at age 68 after the first of many strokes paralyzed his right hand. As he explained in the 1970s, "I'm very physical minded. In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him." Using this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho he redefined fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before, and their female counterparts as thick-thighed, heavy-buttocked, and pixie-faced, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. All in all, Frazetta's art is addictive as potato chips, and now available in a compact, attractive and affordable package.
Raised on Radio
A massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of critically derided yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees's Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of AOR ("Album-Oriented Rock"), critically derided at the time but massively popular during its 1976-1986 heyday when artists such as Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, REO Speedwagon, Heart, Pat Benatar, Bryan Adams, and Styx sold many millions of albums and toured stadiums. Today, those very same songs are streaming in record numbers and many of the artists continue to play to sellout audiences around the world. They may have been dismissed at the time as terminally uncool by elitist rock critics in thrall to punk and new wave, but their music was, and is still, the soundtrack to so many people's lives. For better or worse, AOR's prime movers lived life in the fast lane. Cocaine use was rampant, egos were unchecked, and intra-band fighting became par for the course. What's more, their influence stretches across generations and through the fabric of popular American music. AOR invented the power ballad, and the sound of it has traveled on through hair metal, pop rock, and right up to Taylor Swift. Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral and pop-cultural history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin' But a Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and place that was as big, booming, and unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.
