Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials for Architects and Builders provides a clear and concise introduction to the broad range of materials used within the construction industry and covers the essential details of their manufacture, key physical properties, specification and uses. Understanding the basics of materials is a crucial part of undergraduate and diploma construction or architecture-related courses, and this established textbook helps the reader to do just that with the help of colour photographs and clear diagrams throughout. This new edition has been completely revised and updated to include the latest developments in materials research, new images, appropriate technologies and relevant legislation. The ecological effects of building construction and lifetime use remain an important focus, and this new edition includes a wide range of energy saving building components.

Download or read book Concrete and Culture written by Adrian Forty and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concrete has been used in arches, vaults, and domes dating as far back as the Roman Empire. Today, it is everywhere—in our roads, bridges, sidewalks, walls, and architecture. For each person on the planet, nearly three tons of concrete are produced every year. Used almost universally in modern construction, concrete has become a polarizing material that provokes intense loathing in some and fervent passion in others. Focusing on concrete’s effects on culture rather than its technical properties, Concrete and Culture examines the ways concrete has changed our understanding of nature, of time, and even of material. Adrian Forty concentrates not only on architects’ responses to concrete, but also takes into account the role concrete has played in politics, literature, cinema, labor-relations, and arguments about sustainability. Covering Europe, North and South America, and the Far East, Forty examines the degree that concrete has been responsible for modernist uniformity and the debates engendered by it. The first book to reflect on the global consequences of concrete, Concrete and Culture offers a new way to look at our environment over the past century.

This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconsiders the lyrical norm that predominates in Anglophone accounts of poetry through a multilingual and transnational lensA bold project that departs from a tradition heavily dominated by the lyric to question the very nature of what counts as poetry.A visually exciting text that draws on poetry and art from a wide array of late twentieth and early twenty-first century practitioners.An interdisciplinary approach to poetry and poetics that opens new avenues for understanding how poetry intersects with philosophies of the object, media theory, and visual studies.A transnational frame that responds to a growing scholarly push to situate American studies within the broader context of the American hemisphere.This book examines poets and artists in the Americas during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries to show how they worked to make language into material objects and material objects into language. It builds a theory of 'material poetics' that provides an alternative account of poetry in hemispheric America. Rebecca Kosick argues that by reframing American poetry to prominently include object-oriented practices within and beyond the United States, material poetry can be seen as representing a significant branch of the American poetic tradition.

Download or read book Clinical descriptions and diagnostic requirements for ICD 11 mental behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clinical descriptions and diagnostic requirements for ICD-11 mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders (CDDR) is a comprehensive diagnostic manual designed to support the accurate and reliable identification and diagnosis of these disorders in clinical settings across the world. Based on reviews of the latest available scientific evidence and best clinical practices, the CDDR were developed and tested through a rigorous, multi-disciplinary and participatory approach involving hundreds of experts and thousands of clinicians around the world. An accurate diagnosis is generally the first step towards appropriate care and treatment. By supporting accurate and timely diagnosis of mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders, the CDDR will ultimately ensure more people are able to access services that meet their needs. The ICD-11 CDDR are aimed at: - mental health professionals and non-specialist health professionals such as primary care physicians responsible for assigning these diagnoses in clinical settings; - other health professionals in clinical and non-clinical roles, such as nurses, occupational therapists and social workers, who need to understand the nature and symptoms of mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders even if they do not personally assign diagnoses; and - students and trainees in mental health and other health fields who need to gain an understanding of the nature and symptoms of mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders as part of their education and training. WHO’s Eleventh Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) is the global standard for recording and reporting diseases and health related conditions. It provides standardized nomenclature and a common health language for WHO member states, health systems and health practitioners across the world. ICD-11 was adopted by the 72nd World Health Assembly in May 2019 and came into effect as a basis for health reporting in January 2022. The CDDR are a clinical version of ICD-11 and thus complementary to the system for the statistical reporting of health information, referred to as the linearization for mortality and morbidity statistics (MMS).

Download or read book Developing Models in Science Education written by J.K. Gilbert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-11-30 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Models and modelling play a central role in the nature of science, in its conduct, in the accreditation and dissemination of its outcomes, as well as forming a bridge to technology. They therefore have an important place in both the formal and informal science education provision made for people of all ages. This book is a product of five years collaborative work by eighteen researchers from four countries. It addresses four key issues: the roles of models in science and their implications for science education; the place of models in curricula for major science subjects; the ways that models can be presented to, are learned about, and can be produced by, individuals; the implications of all these for research and for science teacher education. The work draws on insights from the history and philosophy of science, cognitive psychology, sociology, linguistics, and classroom research, to establish what may be done and what is done. The book will be of interest to researchers in science education and to those taking courses of advanced study throughout the world.
