Generating Hope: Stories of the Beausoleil Louisiana Solar Home documents the BeauSoleil solar house designed and built by the team from UL Lafayette, first-time competitors in the 2009 Solar Decathlon in Washington, D.C. Three narratives structure the book. First, there is a chronological narrative of the two-plus years of the project and its aftermath. It is a compelling story of planning, execution, and serendipity. Next, the book provides valuable and readily implementable sustainable home design strategies that were employed in the Beausoleil Home, both things that worked well and the things that didn't work so well. Finally, and most importantly, this book is about the people of Beausoleil Home--the TEAM that designed and built the home and the partners in the university and community that supported the effort.

<p>"A broke and unemployed musician lands a gig driving a cab through the swamplands of south Louisiana while bobbing and weaving through a nighttime world ruled by drugs, guns, saints, and strippers. In this fuel-injected work of creative nonfiction, Grammy-nominated musician and award-winning writer Dege Legg-aka Brother Dege-recounts five years behind the wheel while documenting the underworld of Lafayette and its Cajun and Creole hinterlands. From the penthouse suites on high to the crack houses on the low, Legg churns out thick-skinned tales about downtrodden derelicts, minor victories for the forgotten, and redemption in the face of it all. CABLOG reverberates with tones of Bukowski, Miller, Chandler, and Kerouac while charting its own new territory of the human spirit"--</p>
