Barber Collection
No full textThe D.A. Barber collection was donated to the South Texas Archives by Phil McCormick, Barber’s grandson, in 2002. The donation consists of personal and business papers of Daniel Amos Barber who lived in Bee County and, later moving his family to Kleberg County. He worked at several occupations throughout his life, first as a grocer, then realtor and lastly as a life insurance agent. There are also papers in the collection that pertain to John Dryder Morgan, Barber's business partner and his son-in-law. The last series of documents are the business papers of Eugene McCormick, the other son-in-law of D. A. Barber and a partner in business
Ep. #066 - Daniel Barber
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Your co-hosts chat about the return of Veep and a new indie film under production by the rogue AI of the American Anthropological Association’s panel submissions system, Being Chris Kelty. Then we welcome architectural historian Daniel Barber from Penn Design to the podcast to talk about the history of solar homes and what past ventures in solar design can teach us about our solar futures. Starting with his recent book, A House in the Sun: Modern Architecture and Solar Energy in the Cold War (Oxford UP, 2016), we discuss how the Second World War and early worries about peak oil spurred solar thermal home designs in the 1940s and 1950s. We explore the relationship of modernism to solar energy and how modernism’s experimental capacity was harnessed and focused on homes to solve social problems. We also examine the role suburbanization played in this story and what we’ve forgotten about the environmental and cultural utopias that were once associated with suburban communities. Daniel explains how energy experimentation in the 1950s can be seen as alternative origin story for contemporary environmentalism, how the solar homes of the past have influenced solar homes today and how solar suburb projects in the U.S. were eventually redirected toward solar development projects in the Global South. We turn from there to Daniel’s current book project, Climatic Effects, which explores climate-focused architectural design methods from the 1930s to the 1960s and how architects contributed to the emergent science of climatology. We close on Bacigalupi’s The Water Knife, the true story behind the “arcology” and the amazing plan to move all of New Jersey into one building
Modern architecture and climate: design before air conditioning/ Daniel A. Barber.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Modern Architecture and Climate explores how leading architects of the twentieth century incorporated climate-mediating strategies into their designs, and shows how regional approaches to climate adaptability were essential to the development of modern architecture. Focusing on the period surrounding World War II-before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available-Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Lúcio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as MMM Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design. Extensively illustrated with archival material, Modern Architecture and Climate provides global perspectives on modern architecture and its evolving relationship with a changing climate, showcasing designs from Latin America, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Africa. This timely and important book reconciles the cultural dynamism of architecture with the material realities of ever-increasing carbon emissions from the mechanical cooling systems of buildings, and offers a historical foundation for today's zero-carbon design"--Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- Architecture, Media, and Climate -- Part I: The Globalization of the International Style -- Obstacles -- Risks -- Tests -- Part II: The American Acceleration -- Control -- Calculation -- Conditioning -- The Planetary Interior -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index -- Credits1 online resource (316 pages)

No full textAmaurochrous magnus Barber & Sailer, 1953 Distribution: United States: FL, GA (Barber & Bruner 1932), LA, MA (Hart 1919), VA (Van Duzee 1904). Comments: According to Barber & Sailer (1953), many of the early records of Amaurochrous dubius should be referred to this species. Hoffman (1971) gave the distribution for this species as “Southeastern United States, from Maryland to Louisiana ”; we have not found an authentic published record for Maryland.Published as part of Rider, David A. & Swanson, Daniel R., 2021, A distributional synopsis of the Pentatomidae (Heteroptera) north of Mexico, including new state and provincial records, pp. 1-69 in Zootaxa 5015 (1) on page 47, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5015.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/515908
