Baroque Architecture in Bohemia
A complete history of Bohemian architecture during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The art of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries forms one of the most important chapters in the cultural history of Bohemia.In this period, art attained a remarkably high level, with Bohemia emerging as a rival to the other cultural centers of Europe.This was especially true in terms of architecture, which not only transformed the appearance of towns and villages in Bohemia but also played a part in the creation of the phenomenon known as the Baroque, which to this day remains an essential part of Czech cultural identity. The monumental Baroque Architecture in Bohemia brings together multiple generations of art historians from Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences to offer the single most comprehensive examination and exploration of Bohemian architecture during this extraordinary period.The book begins with the Renaissance roots of Baroque Bohemia: it introduces readers to the influence of the cultured and eccentric Rudolf II, who moved the seat of the Holy Roman Empire back to Prague, inviting foreign artists, architects, and alchemists with him; it shows the importance of Albrecht von Wallenstein, whose military success in the Thirty Years’ War heralded a massive building campaign that helped usher in the Baroque age.When the book moves to the period commonly understood as the Baroque, it discusses leading Czech architects, such as Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, but also focuses on lesser-known regional architects and the important Italian architects and artists that left their mark on Bohemia.The architectural and artistic developments are all set among the broader cultural and social context of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The book contains extensive pictorial documentation—most impressively Vladimír Uher and Martin Micka’s gorgeous architectural photographs.

A House in the Sun : Modern Architecture and Solar Energy in the Cold War
A House in the Sun describes a number of experiments in solar house heating in American architectural, engineering, political, economic, and corporate contexts from the beginning of World War II until the late 1950s.Houses were built across the Midwest, Northeast, and Southwestern United States, and also proposed for sites in India, South Africa, and Morocco.These experiments developed in parallel to transformations in the discussion of modern architecture, relying on new materials and design ideas for both energy efficiency and claims to cultural relevance.Architects were among the myriad cultural and scientific actors to see the solar house as an important designed element of the American future.These experiments also developed as part of a wider analysis of the globe as an interconnected geophysical system.Perceived resource limitations in the immediate postwar period led to new understandings of the relationship between energy, technology and economy.The solar house - both as a charged object in the milieu of suburban expansion, and as a means to raise the standard of living in developing economies - became an important site for social, technological, and design experimentation.This led to new forms of expertise in architecture and other professions.Daniel Barber argues that this mid-century interest in solar energy was one of the first episodes in which resource limitations were seen as an opportunity for design to attain new relevance for potential social and cultural transformations.Furthermore, the solar discussion established both an intellectual framework and a funding structure for the articulation of and response to global environmental concerns in subsequent decades.In presenting evidence of resource tensions at the beginning of the Cold War, the book offers a new perspective on the histories of architecture, technology, and environmentalism, one more fully entangled with the often competing dynamics of geopolitical and geophysical pressures.

What should I consider when it comes to Solar Energy? Solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
When considering solar energy, it is important to assess your energy needs and consumption to determine the size and number of solar panels required. Additionally, you should consider the type and capacity of batteries needed to store excess energy generated by the solar panels for use during periods of low sunlight. Lastly, choosing the right inverter is crucial as it converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power your home. It is essential to ensure that all components are compatible and properly sized for optimal performance and efficiency.

How do solar panels work?
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The panels are made up of multiple solar cells, which are made of semiconductor materials like silicon. When sunlight hits the solar cells, it excites the electrons in the material, creating an electric current. This direct current (DC) is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, which can be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices.
-
How are solar panels connected?
Solar panels are connected in series or parallel to form a solar array. In a series connection, the positive terminal of one panel is connected to the negative terminal of the next panel, increasing the voltage output. In a parallel connection, the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together, increasing the current output. These connections allow the individual panels to work together to generate the desired amount of electricity.
