Summary:
In ''The pulse of the earth'' Adam Bobbette tells the story of how modern theories of the earth emerged from the slopes of Indonesia’s volcanoes. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, scientists became concerned with protecting the colonial plantation economy from the unpredictable bursts and shudders of volcanoes. Bobbette follows Javanese knowledge traditions, colonial geologists, volcanologists, mystics, Theosophists, orientalists, and revolutionaries to show how the earth sciences originate from a fusion of Western and non-Western cosmology, theology, anthropology, and geology. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and fieldwork at Javanese volcanoes and in scientific observatories, he explores how Indonesian Islam shaped the theory of plate tectonics, how Dutch colonial volcanologists learned to see the earth in new ways from Javanese spiritual traditions, and how new scientific technologies radically recast notions of the human body, distance, and the earth. In this way, Bobbette decenters the significance of Western scientists to expand our understanding of the evolution of planetary thought and rethinks the politics of geological knowledge.

Summary:
This layered, intertextual, cultural history examines humankind’s relationship with glass and the ways in which glass has transformed society and the constructed world. ''Remaking the crust of the earth'' considers glass in its myriad guises: from the modular prefabrication of Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace to the utopian optimism of Paul Scheerbart's Glasarchitektur, both of which paved a way for modernism, the curtain wall and the 20th-century glass house. Traversing time and space, the book includes archival material (in particular the encyclopaedic 1937 publication Glass in Architecture and Decoration by Raymond McGrath and A.C. Frost); excerpts from the film ''Remaking the crust of the earth''; a series of restaged photographic glass tests conducted by Gavin Murphy and Louis Haugh; essays by Marysia Wieckiewicz-Carroll and Chris Fite-Wassilak; and reproductions from the Raymond McGrath collection in the Irish Architectural Archive.

Their work demonstrates how consideration of technology-based design solutions and careful use of available resources can enable us to live in space. Their concepts, feasibility studies, and technological developments all deal with the key issue of scarcity that defines life everywhere: on Mars, on the Moon, in orbit, as well as on Earth. LIQUIFER. Living Beyond Earth is the first book to present the practice’s groundbreaking work.
