Housing the Environmental Imagination
For writers like Thoreau, Jeffers, and Snyder, the writing project is inseparable from the living project. This book examines how their houses shaped their work, asking a larger question: How shall we live the best lives we can, every day?
Housing the Poor on the African Continent
This book uses Ubuntu philosophy to address low-cost housing in Africa. It argues that reciprocity and collective solidarity are key to housing rights, informing policy and practice while raising red flags about the challenges of implementing these ideals.
This book proposes a new way to measure housing unaffordability from a resident’s point of view: the mismatch between where one can afford to live and where they would prefer to live. Written for all, it helps residents, academics, and practitioners make wiser decisions.
This book uses complexity research to overcome the categorizations and opposites that limit our descriptions of existence. It offers innovative philosophical insights to arrive at a unified vision of nature and society, governed by the same laws of non-linearity.
From the unique perspective of a solar space scientist turned oilfield engineer, this book takes an honest look at the energy transition. How are oil giants pivoting on climate change? Is the urgency as dire as we’re told? A must-read to understand the reality of climate change.
