Computing the Environment presents practical workflows and guidance for designers to get feedback on their design using digital design tools on environmental performance. Starting with an extensive state-of-the-art survey of what top international offices are currently using in their design projects, this book presents detailed descriptions of the tools, algorithms, and workflows used and discusses the theories that underlie these methods. Project examples from Transsolar Klimaengineering, Buro Happold´s SMART Group, Behnish Behnisch Architects, Thomas Herzog, Autodesk Research are contextualized with quotes and references to key thinkers in this field such as Eric Winsberg, Andrew Marsh, Michelle Addington and Ali Malkawi.

A Poetry Book Society Recommendation John F. Deane's new book follows the publication of his career-spanning New and Selected Poems, which was published on the occasion of his eightieth birthday in 2023 and shows no relaxation in his descriptive and lyric powers. Ireland's foremost living religious poet, the new book includes a sequence, 'Of Human Flesh', which takes Easter's rituals as its occasion, and dwells on its continuing purchase and meaning as the poet remembers others and walks a landscape where, sometimes, as he puts it, the spiritual and material worlds come together: 'all here fits together, oxbow and pillow-stone, holon and fractal, stunning, admonishing, this morphogenic field.' The poems bear witness to a number of different Irelands, and one memorable sequence tracks a family heirloom, a carriage clock, through three different marriages in 1897, 1906 and 1940. Alive to what is comical and even enchanting, his steadfast faith is as well captured in his grip on a childhood memory of Jonah, his 'Bunnacurry mule, big and raw, / stubborn in hardship and unwilling', with whom he is partnered in what the poem calls a 'slow, uncomely, cosmic dance'.

SEVEN SHORT STORIES TO FIRE THE IMAGINATION IN THIS WORLD AND BEYOND. "The human form…so precious, so pure, each form unique, even in the case of identical twins, the personality of each one shines through the eyes, it affects the way they carry themselves, the way they move and ultimately all of these things define each of us as an individual as much as pure looks do. " "Death. We can't hide from it, we can't defeat it, and there's no way of avoiding it…not in the end. Some people are afraid of dying in pain, some afraid of no afterlife, and some are afraid of an afterlife that drags on and on and on like an eternal torture. "

A mysterious cult is pushing a designer drug, and only Moodrow can shut the deadly organization down. Though they preach love and understanding, the people of Hanover House also know a thing or two about strong-arm tactics. When an errant member of the Canal Street cult plans to write a tell-all book exposing Davis Craddock's pseudo-religion as a sham, the Hanoverians react calmly. One of the cult's members, Flo Alamare, is dispatched to let the would-be author know that he's welcome to write whatever he likes - so long as he doesn╔t care whether his daughter lives or dies. Soon Flo is found dumped in an empty lot in the Bronx. She╔s barely alive, having apparently suffered a stroke or seizure - and the doctors don╔t realize that she overdosed on a powerful drug of Craddock's own design. She's returned to her parents, who had been desperately searching for her. The tough-minded Alamares want revenge, and hire bruising PI Stanley Moodrow to catch Craddock and break his cult wide open.
