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.

How diversity initiatives harm employees of color by turning them into workplace commodities. 
  
Diversity programs are under attack. Should those interested in racial justice fight to keep them, or might there be another way forward? Who Pays for Diversity? reveals the costs that employees of color pay under current programs by having their racial identities commodified to benefit white people and institutions. Oneya Fennell Okuwobi proposes fresh and thoughtful ways to reorient these initiatives, move beyond tokenism, and authentically center marginalized employees. 
  
Drawing on accounts of employees from across the workplace spectrum, from corporations to churches to universities, Who Pays for Diversity? details how the optics of diversity programs undermine employees' competence while diminishing their well-being and workplace productivity. Okuwobi argues that diversity programs have been a costly detour on the path to racial justice, and getting back on track requires solutions that provide equity, dignity, and agency to all employees, instead of defending the status quo.  
  
"Oneya Fennell Okuwobi brilliantly uncovers the hidden costs of diversity initiatives, challenging the superficiality of such programs and the burdens they place on people of color within so-called 'diverse' environments with a powerful, evidence-backed critique. This book is an essential read for anyone committed to creating genuine racial equity in workplaces and institutions."—Mary Murphy, Herman B. Wells Endowed Professor, Indiana University
