Download or read book Collision Actions on Structures written by Arnold C.Y. Yong and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-14 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook covers the collision of a moving, falling or flying object on a rigid barrier or a structural element, and the transmission of the transient action to the rest of the structural system. It is the only up-to-date book on this under-researched topic that confronts engineers on a day-to-day basis. The book deals with a range of real-life engineering problems and focuses on the application of knowledge and skillsets from structural analysis and structural dynamics. Fundamental principles and concepts on structural collision are first introduced, followed by their specific applications such as vehicular collision on bridge structures, boulder impact on rockfall barriers and collision by hail and windborne debris. Analytical solutions provided are in the form of closed-form expressions, which can be directly adopted in conventional manual calculations. The use of spreadsheets to simulate the dynamic response behaviour is also covered. • The only standalone book covering the topic from a civil engineering perspective • Practical guidance on real-life engineering problems, and use of computational and physical methods • Conveys methodology validated experimentally The book provides an excellent guide for practitioners and sets out fundamental principles for graduate students in civil, structural and mechanical engineering.

Download or read book Mister White A Dark Thriller written by John C. Foster and published by Grey Matter Press. This book was released on with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debut novel from the author of Rooster and The Isle. In the shadowy world of international espionage and governmental black ops, when a group of American spies go bad and inadvertently unleash an ancient malevolent force that feeds on the fears of mankind, a young family finds themselves in the crosshairs of a frantic supernatural mystery of global proportions with only one man to turn for their salvation. Combine the intricate, plot-driven stylings of suspense masters Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, add a healthy dose of Clive Barker's dark and brooding occult horror themes, and you get a glimpse into the supernatural world of international espionage that the chilling new horror novel Mister White is about to reveal. John C. Foster's Mister White is a terrifying genre-busting suspense shocker it was meant to be and will, once and for all, answer the question you dare not ask: "Who is Mister White?" Praise for Mister White: "The most thrilling thing about Foster's sweeping thriller Mister White is how well it's written. If the idea is to put powerful words to paper, then Foster does it. And if the idea is to then use those words to pulley-up walls around a willing reader, trapping him or her in the world of Mister White, Foster does that, too." -- Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box "Mister White [is] a brilliant amalgamation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy-esque cat-and-mouse espionage thriller, over the top 80s implacable-force-of-nature slasher yarn, and reality-refracting supernatural-occultist creepfest." -- Shawn Macomber, Rue Morgue "Mister White is a potent and hypnotic brew that blends horror, espionage and mystery. Foster has written the kind of book that keeps the genre fresh and alive and will make fans cheer. Books like this are the reason I love horror fiction." -- Ray Garton, Grand Master of Horror Award-winner and Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Live Girls and Scissors "John C. Foster's Mister White is a lightning-paced, globetrotting mashup of espionage, adventure and truly disturbing occult horror. Fun and nasty in all the right places." -- Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of A Head Full of Ghosts Proudly presented by Grey Matter Press, the home of multiple Bram Stoker Award-nominated volumes of horror.

Download or read book Liberal Roots of Far Right Activism written by Lars Erik Berntzen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the anti-Islamic turn and expansion of the far right in Western Europe, North America and beyond from 2001 and onwards. Driven by terror attacks and other moral shocks, the anti-Islamic cause has undergone four waves of transnational expansion in the period since 2001. The leaders and intellectuals involved have varied backgrounds, many coming from the left, uniting historically opposed sets of values under their banner of a civilizational struggle against Islam. The findings presented in this book indicate that anti-Islamic initiatives in Western Europe and the United States form a transnational movement and subculture characterized by a fragile balance between liberal and authoritarian values. The author draws on a broad array of data sources and methods, including network analysis and sentiment analysis, to analyze the impact of the anti-Islamic expansion and turn at a macro level, and the theoretical implications for our understanding of the current far right flowing from this. Offering an overview of anti-Islamic activism, the book explores the background of their leaders and ideologues, provides an in-depth look at their ideology, online organizational networks, and the views expressed by their online members as well as which emotions and messages continue to drive their mobilization. The book will be of interest to scholars in the social movement field as well as political scientists, sociologists, and general readers interested in issues such as populism, extremism and understanding the ways in which the contemporary far right challenges liberal democracies.

Download or read book Conservation Social Science written by Daniel C. Miller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundbreaking book that examines the essential contribution of the social sciences to understanding and conserving biodiversity across the globe Authored by leading scholars at the nexus of social science and biodiversity conservation, Conservation Social Science addresses the growing realization that biodiversity conservation is, at heart, a social phenomenon. Threats to biological diversity are influenced by a wide range of political, economic and cultural factors. The conservation of biodiversity is conceived and carried out by people. Biodiversity conservation is a manifestation of human beliefs and values. Choices about which species and habitats to conserve, how to prioritize efforts, and how to conserve them are inherently social − with consequences not just for wildlife but also human lives and livelihoods. Key topics covered in this thought-provoking text include: An introduction to key social science disciplines and how each field specifically relates to biodiversity conservation How to make social sciences an integral part of conservation strategies and initiatives How social science theories and analytic approaches can explain and help predict patterns of human behavior How biodiversity conservation as a ubiquitous societal phenomenon can provide insights into human society in general Conservation Social Science is an essential, one-of-a-kind survey of novel approaches to explaining and fostering more effective, just, and enduring conservation of biodiversity. It is academically rigorous and comprehensive in scope, yet sufficiently nontechnical and concise to be accessible to a global audience of students, faculty, and environmental professionals and policymakers.
