Luis de Garrido is pioneering a new architectural concept: Artificial Nature. An artificial eco-system incorporating manmade artefacts and buildings with its own rules and which evolves alongside the natural eco-system.

De Garrido has created a module system that utilizes industrialised architectural elements that are perfect for creating buildings with an infinite life cycle, whose components can be recovered, repaired and reused continuously, without generating waste or emissions. In the same way, these buildings can be continuously moved, relocated, and modified as if they were living organisms.

The time is 1882. With the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral behind him, the consumptive Doc Holliday makes his way to Deadwood, Colorado, where he plans to spend the rest of his short life.

But one night he gets a little too drunk and loses everything at the gaming table. He realizes that he needs to replenish his bankroll, and quick, so that he can live out his days in comfort. He considers his options and hits upon the one most likely to produce income in a hurry: he’ll use his shooting skills to turn bounty hunter.

The biggest reward is for the death of the young desperado known as Billy the Kid. It’s clear from the odds the Kid has faced and beaten, that he is protected by some powerful magic. Doc enlists the aid of both magic (Geronimo) and science (Thomas Edison), and goes out after his quarry. But as he soon finds out, nothing is as easy as it looks.

Memphis Boys chronicles the story of the rhythm section at Chips Moman’s American Studios from 1964, when the group began working together, until 1972, when Moman shut down the studio and moved the entire operation to Atlanta.

Author Roben Jones’ rich and detailed narrative, filled with fascinating in-depth interviews with Moman and the group, brings to life recording sessions with Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Neil Diamond, Dionne Warwick, and many others, as well as exploring how the groups personal and musical philosophies blended to create timeless music.

Featuring photographs, personal profiles, and a suggested listening section, Memphis Boys details a significant phase of American music and the impact of one studio.

Why do we routinely choose options that don’t meet our short term needs and undermine our long-term goals? Why do we insist we’re right even when evidence contradicts us? Why are we prone to assigning meaning to statistically common coincidences?

What Makes Your Brain Happy reveals a remarkable paradox: what your brain wants is frequently not what your brain needs. In fact, much of what makes our brains “happy” leads to errors, biases, and distortions, which make getting out of our own way extremely difficult.

Drawing on research into social psychology, cognitive science, neurology and even marketing and economics, this volume draws out insights that we can use to identify our brains’ foibles and turn our awareness into edifying action.

Gardening, more than most outdoor activities, has always attracted a cult of devotedly literate practitioners - people who like to dig, it appears, also like to write. And many of them write exceedingly well.

Focusing on gardeners’ words about the art of gardening, Writing the Garden brings together a diverse array of authors. For the most part they are not professional landscape designers or how-to horticulturalists, but rather hands-on gardeners who write with their own gardens in full-view. Ranging in time and place from Enlightenment France to modern-day New York City, they invite the reader into the natural world of soil and flowers.

Authors discussed include Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Jefferson, Henry David Thoreau, Gertrude Jekyll, Vita Sackville-West, Russell Page, Lynden Miller, and many more.
