This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book entitled ECEM (English for Civil Engineering Mastery) as mentioned earlier is a reading-based ESP course book in professional English for Civil Engineering students. The book is so designed that students could succeed in acquiring the technical terminology through reading ESP texts. So, the primary purpose of the book is not to teach Civil Engineering to the students, but help them improve reading technical passages and develop a reading habit in their field of study. The course book includes eighteen units from general to specific and simple to complex. Each unit has a primary warm-up part along with various reading and vocabulary activities. The warm-up part is specifically designed to enable students to have oral discussions and debates prior to reading the actual texts. Reading activities urges students to read the text and then answer the questions given. A comprehension practice follows each passage and demands a comprehensive study of the text. In this part, vocabulary practice along with exercises and some other language activities are given for the purpose of motivating students to study technical vocabulary within the texts. Reading activities are designed to help students study the comprehension of the passages and vocabulary as well. In some units cloze tests are given relating to the same topic in the unit to check students’ vocabulary comprehension. Each unit has also translation and writing parts: in the translation part, students are required to translate the given passage into Turkish as an assignment; in writing part, various writing topics, closely related to the reading passages, are assigned to students as in-class activities or as homework. Since this is an ESP course book in Civil Engineering, the main aim of the passages is to motivate students to use technical English in their own professional fields and to enable them to master necessary technical terminology. Throughout their professional lives, almost all of the Engineering students will need English both technically and professionally in order to communicate with foreign people and companies they are doing business with. The course book is manly designed to be used in formal class sessions, but it can also be used by students and professionals of the field in self-study of the technical terminology. The design of the course book will enable students to learn new technical vocabulary and help them to comprehend technical passages with the aid of given almost 300 field-oriented vocabulary. The meanings of the new words are given as they are presented in the passages. That is to say, the contextual meanings of the vocabulary are given in the book. All in all, the book covers almost 400 exercises and various language study points. A Word to Learner: Discuss the given topics with your friends and make your own account of them Carefully study the pre- reading activities Make sure you study the topic – related technical vocabulary in advance Try to find out other related meanings of the vocabulary from an English Dictionary of Civil Engineering Read the passages in advance and study accompanying questions given As thought useful in the acquisition of language skills, translate the given passages into your native language without paying attention to linguistic details of the passage; just try to make them understand by your colleagues Writing tasks are designed for your use and make sure that they should be written academically and pay attention to the instructions given as well A Word to Teacher: Remember most activities in the book are pre-assigned activities to be assigned to students prior to studying the units. Warm-up discussion part should be done with teacher’s supervision in group, in pairs or individually. Pay attention to learners’ discussion technique; do not interrupt their conversation unless there is a communication failure. Encourage students to answer questions either orally or in writing. Make sure they use these questions to understand the passage better since they are text-related. In reading the text, let them first do a silent reading and then teacher can make a model reading. Make sure they understand the passage very well and encourage them to understand the passage after studying the vocabulary without referring to a dictionary. In reading activities, check their comprehension through given questions and related exercises. Assign them the cloze test. It is recommended less time be spent on this activity in class. Assign translation passages in advance and do not allocate more than 1 class hour for them in-class translation. Writing is also an important part of the unit, encourage students to write the assigned topics at home and discuss some students’ writing papers in class. Make sure feedback studies should be done after each unit and weak points are to be determined and additional studies can be done with students in class. In general, each unit can be allocated 6 hours in class study, but some units may take longer than this estimated time, so in designing the weekly/monthly or term lesson plans or programs, the time allocation can be taken into reconsideration as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure—electricity, telecommunications, roads, water, and sanitation—are central to people’s lives. Without it, they cannot make a living, stay healthy, and maintain a good quality of life. Access to basic infrastructure is also a key driver of economic development. This report lays out a framework for understanding infrastructure resilience - the ability of infrastructure systems to function and meet users’ needs during and after a natural hazard. It focuses on four infrastructure systems that are essential to economic activity and people’s well-being: power systems, including the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity; water and sanitation—especially water utilities; transport systems—multiple modes such as road, rail, waterway, and airports, and multiple scales, including urban transit and rural access; and telecommunications, including telephone and Internet connections.

Download or read book From Opinions to Images written by Ulus Baker and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ulus Baker (1960 - 2007) was a Turkish-Cypriot sociologist, philosopher, and public intellectual. He was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1960. He studied Sociology at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, where he taught as a lecturer until 2004. Baker wrote prolifically in influential Turkish journals and made some of the first Turkish translations of various works of Gilles Deleuze, Antonio Negri, and other contemporary political philosophers. His profuse and accessible work and the novelty of the issues he enthusiastically introduced to Turkish-speaking intellectual circles, earned him a widely spread positive reputation in early age. He died in 2007 in Istanbul. The text in this edition is edited from essays and notes Ulus Baker wrote between 1995 and 2002. In these essays, Baker criticizes the sociological research turning into an analysis of people's opinions. He explores with an exciting clarity the notion of 'opinion' as a specific form of apprehension between knowledge and point of view, then looks into 'social types' as an analytical device deployed by early sociologists. He associates the form of 'comprehension' the 'social types' postulate with Spinoza's notion of 'affections' (as a dynamic, non-linguistic form of the relation between entities). He finally discusses the possibilities of reintroducing this device for understanding our contemporary world through cinema and documentary filmmaking, by reinstating images in general as 'affective thought processes'. Baker's first extensive translation to English provides us with a much-needed intervention for re-imagining social thought and visual media, at a time when sociology tends to be reduced to an analysis of 'big data', and the pedagogical powers of the image are reduced to data visualization and infographics.

Download or read book Shanshui City written by Ma Yansong and published by Lars Müller Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Shanshui City', the latest book from MAD Architects' founder and principal partner, Ma Yansong, Ma's poetic, yet precise language details the development and practice of design philosophy At the core of 'Shanshui City' is the idea that, "architects should delineate a new ideal for the city of the future, to gradually construct an urban environment that embodies both the convenience of the modern city and the ancient Eastern affinity for the natural world." 'Shanshui' is an idealised worldview developed by Chinese through extended contact with the natural world, a worldview that integrates the everyday life of humanity with the impulse to seek spiritual refuge in nature. This 'Shanshui City' is not simply an eco-city, or a garden-city, nor does it imply modelling the city's architecture on natural forms such as mountains. It represents humanity's affinity for the natural world, and our quest for inner fulfilment, as expressed in philosophies of the East. 103 illustrations

This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overview of the development of continuum mechanics throughout the twentieth century is unique and ambitious. Utilizing a historical perspective, it combines an exposition on the technical progress made in the field and a marked interest in the role played by remarkable individuals and scientific schools and institutions on a rapidly evolving social background. It underlines the newly raised technical questions and their answers, and the ongoing reflections on the bases of continuum mechanics associated, or in competition, with other branches of the physical sciences, including thermodynamics. The emphasis is placed on the development of a more realistic modeling of deformable solids and the exploitation of new mathematical tools. The book presents a balanced appraisal of advances made in various parts of the world. The author contributes his technical expertise, personal recollections, and international experience to this general overview, which is very informative albeit concise.
Download or read book Reflexive Historical Sociology written by Arpad Szakolczai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-07-13 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconstructs and brings together the work of a number of social and political theorists in order to gain new insight on the emergence and character of modern Western society. It examines the intersection point of social theory and historical sociology in a new theoretical approach called "reflexive historical sociology". There is analysis of the works of Max Weber, Michel Foucault, Norbert Elias, Eric Voegelin and a number of others. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 examines the works of Eric Voegelin, Norbert Elias, Lewis Mumford and Franz Borkenau. Part 2 is concerned with the major conceptual tools such as experience, liminality, process, symbolisation, figuration, order, dramatisation and reflexivity, and themes such as the history of forms of thought, subjectivity, knowledge and closed space and regulated time. Finally, the book examines the most important insights of the thinkers discussed, concerning the historical processes that led to modernity.
