Theorising the Project
This book explores a thematic approach to architectural design. It argues design is not the expression of meaning, but the framing of strategic conditions for emergent sense. For students and practitioners, it offers a framework to widen their creative scope.
Architecture
The author’s writings are based on his 1968 Yale University lecture series, “Architecture: The Making of Metaphors”.
From Foundations to Philosophy of Mathematics
Explore the 20th century’s foundational crisis in mathematics. From early paradoxes to the rise of logicism, intuitionism, and formalism, this guide examines the quest for certainty and the lasting impact of Gödel’s revolutionary theorems.
Outer Space Development, International Relations and Space Law
The development of outer space is happening now, but few are aware. The vast wealth it generates threatens to create unprecedented inequality. This is a call to action to ensure the final frontier benefits all of humanity, not just a select few.
Technological development is threatening to make the earth uninhabitable. This book presents scientific and engineering perspectives on promising, cost-effective technologies for restoring degraded environments and producing clean, low-carbon energy.
This book describes the world’s vineyards and wines, with the science behind viticulture and winemaking. It is an essential reference for students, teachers, and professionals in the wine trade, from growers and winemakers to sommeliers.
A guide for business students, investors, and professionals to learn R and Python. This book uses a unique R-assisted learning environment and provides 15 weeks’ worth of teaching material.
This textbook provides an introduction to physics for undergraduate students of geology and Earth sciences. It explains basic physics theories first, which are then applied to geological phenomena, using accessible math with figures and solved problems.
This book contributes to a better understanding of the environment and climate change, assisting students in scoring higher marks in competitive exams. It covers environmental ecology, bio-diversity, natural hazards, disaster management, climate change, and other key topics.
Tokyo and Venice as Cities on Water
Tokyo and Venice are fragile cities on water. This volume focuses on how rediscovering water, from architectural and cultural points of view, and preserving their heritage can maintain their unique maritime identity and contribute to new forms of resilience for the future.
This book develops Jordan canonical form and shows how to apply it to solving systems of dynamic equations on arbitrary time scales. Beginning with the diagonalizable case, it proceeds to the general case, covering all situations. For senior undergraduate and graduate students.
Understanding the Metaverse and its Technological Marvels
Explore the Metaverse, the new digital frontier where VR, AR, and AI converge. This guide details its transformative potential in education, healthcare, and commerce, while addressing the critical challenges of privacy, security, and inclusivity for a responsible future.
The Fundamental Principles of Physics
This book provides a precise idea of what an atom or molecule is using quantum theory. To overcome student comprehension difficulties, it insists on the importance of underlying physical principles, such as particle-wave duality, indeterminism, and presence probability.
Many students struggle to visualize the frequency domain, essential for technologies like MRI. This book depicts the transformation in detail, from Fourier series to image filtering, with a progressive introduction to Matlab and numerical applications on functions and images.
This book is the most complete description of a photochemical reaction first described 110 years ago. The reaction between a carbonyl compound and an alkene yields an oxetane ring with high selectivity—a key structure in many naturally occurring and bioactive compounds.
This book is a precise and comprehensive history of the digital computer, tracing its roots and routes through the modern era. Though dealing with the history of technology in general, its central focus is the automatic digital program-controlled calculating devices of 1935-1945.
This book analyzes algorithms for stochastic phenomena like random processes and Markov chains. It presents a novel “Complex Probability Paradigm” applied to Brownian motion, making it ideal for researchers and students in mathematics, computer science, and science.
On the Geology of Syria
Explore the geology of Syria, a highly diverse field for geologists. Located at the meeting point of the Eurasian, African, and Arabic plates, Syria is underlain by the active Dead Sea Fault Zone, making this area of unique interest.
Archaeological Chemistry
This multidisciplinary volume presents new research in archaeological chemistry, applying chemical techniques to study the material remains of past cultures. It shows how the field combines analytical chemistry, history, and materials science to better understand our past.
Intelligent Transportation Systems
With demand for mobility growing and infrastructure limited, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are essential. This book presents the ingredients of good ITS not from a technology perspective, but from a business, management, and policy view, with real-life case studies.
