Download or read book Towards A New Engineering second edition written by Mentor Llunji and published by MSPROJECT. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second-expanded edition of Towards A New Engineering is almost double in volume compared to the first edition, with several new chapters, new material and is more graphically oriented in order to guide readers more smoothly throughout the text. It is a collection of intimate reflections on structural engineering, its present and future. A testimony on many issues that ‘bothered’ the author during his years of designing structures. A critique and praise of built structures, structural design strategies, codes, the educational system, digital tools and much more. It’s a professional memoir dedicated to the unsung heroes of structural engineering. Not the unknown ones but the unrecognized ones. It’s an album of their thoughts and designs. This book is a rare possibility for structural engineers to consider the meaning of their profession, to meditate about it and its relation to, or distinction from, the practice of architecture. This is a collection of thoughts but not conclusions and theories. The book is recommended for all structural and architectural engineers, as well as for students of engineering and architecture, especially those who have chosen structural engineering as their lifelong profession. It is an eye-opening book that will provide a clearer, more realistic perspective while also offering an idea of where engineers will be in the future and how they should adapt to the time that comes.

Book excerpt: BUILDING TOWARDS TOMORROW Sense of wonder is the lifeblood of science fiction. When we encounter something on a truly staggering scale – metal spheres wrapped around stars, planets rebuilt and repurposed, landscapes re-engineered, starships bigger than worlds – the only response we have is reverence, admiration, and possibly fear at something that is grand, sublime, and extremely powerful. Bridging Infinity puts humanity at the heart of that experience, as builder, as engineer, as adventurer, reimagining and rebuilding the world, the solar system, the galaxy and possibly the entire universe in some of the best science fiction stories you will experience.

Book excerpt: The Alliance planets had waged war with the Consortium planets for years. They have finally agreed to a truce. Then a previously unknown planet was discovered and its location and possible strategic advantages caused a new ripple in the pending peace. A terrible solution was suggested: destroy the planet. A joint fleet to accomplish that awful result was on it way to carry out the mission. But residing on the planet, if it could be called a planet, was a mysterious Old Man who had plans of his own. After thwarting every attempt to destroy his planet, he gave everyone on both sides a tremendous lesson in humility and effectively stopped their war. The Old Man then takes the crew of the Star Cruiser Infinity on a new mission that no one could have ever anticipated, a mission to save their universe. Admiral Jenki learns much about his past that had remained hidden within him and Captain Edmonds dramatically reunites with his severely disabled brother. Together they travel to an unknown place to confront a gigantic new threat.
