This book integrates Western science with Oriental philosophy, proposing a unified theory of physics. Using a simple mathematical model, it explains the fundamental concepts of dynamics, connecting Newtonian mechanics, relativity, and quantum wave dynamics.
The Three–ray Megacontinent of the Earth
This book reveals a fundamental discovery: the southern continents are part of a single three-beam megacontinent. This proof represents a new level in understanding the structure and evolution of our planet, and will appeal to all with an interest in Earth’s history.
The Transformation of Addis Ababa
Written by Ethiopian and Finnish experts in urban planning, architecture, geography, and ethnology, this publication documents for the first time Addis Ababa’s process of radical transformation, and asks how the city’s poorest residents are affected by urban renewal.
Hydrodynamic and aerodynamic bearings guide rotating machines like turbines under severe conditions. This book provides a numerical analysis of how textured surfaces improve their hydrodynamic, tribological, and structural performance under these demanding operating parameters.
The Trinity of Mass and Newton’s Way
This book argues that physics has only one concept of mass, an idea that originates not with Einstein, but with Isaac Newton. In his Principia, Newton introduced mass as a single measure of inertia, weight, and gravity. So why was this true legacy so profoundly misunderstood?
Richard Castle is one of Ireland’s most important 18th-century architects, yet this is the first book devoted to his life and career. Using extensive research, it uncovers his surprising personal history and refutes long-held misconceptions about his name, family, and religion.
This book covers the principles, types, and manufacturing of antistatic and conductive textile materials. Learn how they protect against charge dissipation and EMI, and discover their special applications as sensors, antennas, flexible heaters, and specialized apparel.
Written by leading experts, this volume offers detailed and up-to-date findings for survey methodologists and practitioners. It deepens the reader’s understanding of the unit problem and showcases recent advances in business survey methodology and practice.
The Venice Charter Revisited
The Venice Charter was meant to conserve traditional buildings, but has been misused to justify clashing new architecture in old places, attracting global condemnation. These essays explore how planning went wrong and how we can heal the mistakes of the past.
Immobilizing ionic liquid (IL) in a polymer matrix is a low-cost method to produce ionogels—an excellent substitute for liquid electrolytes. This book provides a complete overview, from ionogel development to application, and covers characterization and transport properties.
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.
For specialists in mathematics, science, and engineering, this guide applies numerical methods to solve complex systems. Explore techniques in C++, Maple, and MATLAB through practical case studies in data analysis, optimisation, and differential equations.
This book presents the theory and methods of solving vector optimization problems. It mathematically proves an optimal solution, solving the problem for the first time, with applied methods for researchers modeling economic and engineering systems.
This second volume uses vector optimization to model economic systems. Chapters cover decision-making and modeling within companies, in market systems, and for forecasting.
This book covers the theory and practice of discrete optimization for mathematics and computer science researchers. It presents new theoretical results, models, and algorithmic approaches for problems in integer programming, combinatorial optimization, scheduling, and logistics.
Third-Party Risk Policies in the Netherlands
Keeping people safe in the densely populated Netherlands means balancing public health against the profits of industries creating hazardous risks. This book explores this balancing act, offering valuable insight into how sustainable policy can be achieved for all.
Time for Architecture
Through the lens of time, this book offers a new perspective on modern architecture. It challenges our understanding of modernity, sustainability, and tradition with original theories on longevity, conservation, and collective memory.
Today We’re Alive
Wilkinson presents an exploration of the multiple narratives embedded in colonial and post-colonial history in Australia. At the heart of this research is a verbatim play, interweaving Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal testimonies about the massacre at Myall Creek in 1838.
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 addresses various aspects of tourism development, from sustainability to alternative products. Featuring practical case studies from a wide range of countries, it is useful for academics and practitioners seeking to update their current knowledge.
