Jerry Yudelson also provides a primer on new technologies, systems, and regulatory approaches in Western Europe that can be adopted in North America, including building-integrated solar technologies, radiant heating and cooling systems, dynamic façades that provide natural ventilation, innovative methods for combining climate control and water features in larger buildings, zero-netenergy homes built like Thermos bottles, and strict government timetables for achieving zero-carbon buildings. Green Building Trends: Europe is an essential resource for anyone interested in the latest developments in this rapidly growing field. 606 $aSustainable buildings$zEurope$xDesign and construction 606 $aBuildings$xEnergy conservation$zEurope 615 0$aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aBuildings$xEnergy conservation 676 $a720/.47094 700 $aYudelson$b Jerry$01089397 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957466003321 996 $aGreen building trends$94356044 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03703nam 22005055 450 001 9910974759603321 005 20230126222619.0 010 $a0-300-23540-2 024 7 $a10.12987/9780300235401 035 $a(CKB)4340000000248711 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5313348 035 $a(DE-B1597)536082 035 $a(OCoLC)1026492262 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780300235401 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000248711 100 $a20191022d2018 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWhy Baseball Matters /$fSusan Jacoby 210 1$aNew Haven, CT : $cYale University Press, $d[2018] 210 4$dİ2018 215 $a1 online resource (xvi, 200 pages) 225 0 $aWhy X Matters Series 311 08$a0-300-22427-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tIntroduction -- $tOne.

Despite remaining popular and profitable into the twenty-first century, the game is losing young fans, among African Americans and women as well as white men. Furthermore, baseball's greatest charm-a clockless suspension of time-is also its greatest liability in a culture of digital distraction. These paradoxes are explored by the historian and passionate baseball fan Susan Jacoby in a book that is both a love letter to the game and a tough-minded analysis of the current challenges to its special position-in reality and myth-in American culture. The concise but wide-ranging analysis moves from the Civil War-when many soldiers played ball in northern and southern prisoner-of-war camps-to interviews with top baseball officials and young men who prefer playing online "fantasy baseball" to attending real games. Revisiting her youthful days of watching televised baseball in her grandfather's bar, the author links her love of the game with the informal education she received in everything from baseball's history of racial segregation to pitch location. Jacoby argues forcefully that the major challenge to baseball today is a shortened attention span at odds with a long game in which great hitters fail two out of three times. Without sanitizing this basic problem, Why Baseball Matters remind us that the game has retained its grip on our hearts precisely because it has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to reinvent itself in times of immense social change. 410 0$aWhy X matters. 606 $aBaseball$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aBaseball$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBaseball$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBaseball$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBaseball$xHistory. 615 0$aBaseball$xSocial aspects. 676 $a796.3570973 700 $aJacoby$b Susan, $01522827 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974759603321 996 $aWhy Baseball Matters$94384292 997 $aUNINA
