Sinopse

Concrete Mix Evolution explores the fascinating journey of concrete, a fundamental material in construction, from ancient times to modern innovations. The book illuminates how concrete technology has advanced, driven by scientific discovery, societal needs, and environmental considerations. It is interesting to learn, for example, that the Romans used volcanic ash in their concrete, resulting in structures that have lasted for millennia, and that modern research is exploring self-healing concretes to enhance durability.

 
The book examines the evolution of concrete mixtures by delving into historical developments, scientific principles, and ongoing innovations. It reviews historical construction practices, such as Roman engineering, and explores the science behind concrete, including hydration processes and strength development. The narrative progresses through key historical periods and modern advancements, culminating in a discussion of sustainable cement alternatives and their potential impact on the future.

 
What sets this book apart is its narrative non-fiction approach, blending technical information with engaging storytelling. It provides a comprehensive overview of concrete's evolution, presenting factual information clearly and balancing historical context with scientific analysis. It is a valuable resource for civil engineers, architects, material scientists, and anyone interested in the history and technology of this essential building material.

Better Late Than Early - A New...

Dorothy N. Moore, Raymond S. Moore

"Moore Brings a wealth of evidence from a wide variety of sources to indicate that early schooling, although promoting (perhaps) earlier cognitive organization, introduces a host of fateful “iatrogenic” disturbances. Our knowledge of maturation, development, developmental stages, and critical developmental periods for the human, all support Moore’s basic thesis... "Of what value is the educational process, if the very process, when prematurely introduced within the unfolding epigenetic field, distorts the developing psychic structure so as to interfere with future education, and learning to live and learning to love, let alone learning to learn. This is an important book for parents and for professionals. It warns, it offers alternatives, and it never loses sight of its main focus, the health, happiness and ‘fundamental education’ of our children." 
“...the authors have made an extensive review of the literature available and have strongly come out on that basis as well as on the basis of their professional experience and research-on the side that “it is better late than early,” in terms of education... The book’s value is further enhanced by its very lucid exposition and by the fact that a multidisciplinary approach to the problem was taken, combining the knowledge and findings of the educator, the neurophysiologist, the developmental psychologist, the child psychiatrist, the sociologist, the parent, etc. 
Personally, though I occasionally disagree with some of the views presented, I gladly acknowledge that I found myself, after reading it, enlightened and enriched in many ways. I suspect the same will be true for many of its readers.”
