Beschreibung

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.

Dignity in Care - The Human Side...

Harvey Max Chochinov

No one goes into healthcare with the intention of hurting people, or wanting to come off as callous, cold, or unfeeling. Fortunately, most people working in healthcare understand that kindness and compassion are key, even foundational to success in the care they provide to patients and families. And yet, all too often, there are instances when contact with healthcare is tainted by experiences ranging from vaguely annoying or abrasive to outright emotionally assaultive. Patients may confront experiences that chip away at their sense of pride and personhood.Dignity in Care provides listeners with what they need to know about the humanity and tone of care, and how they can engage in these facets of care in a thoughtful and meaningful way that will satisfy their patients' needs to be seen and appreciated as "whole persons." The author explores how the humanity of care can get overlooked and how to avoid this happening. It teaches how to communicate better with patients, helping them to feel not just cared for, but cared about. Sir William Osler said, "The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." Dignity in Care applies this outlook to all of healthcare, because many people can gain technical competency, but success within healthcare requires more.

Ring of Fire - High-Stakes...

Virginia Heffernan

A valuable discovery under the world’s second-largest temperate wetland and in the traditional lands of the Cree and Ojibway casts light on the growing conflict among resource development, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous rights
		 
When prospectors discovered a gigantic crescent of metal deposits under the James Bay Lowlands of northern Canada in 2007, the find touched off a mining rush, lured a major American company to spend fortunes in the remote swamp, and forced politicians to confront their legal duty to consult Indigenous Peoples about development on their traditional territories. But the multibillion-dollar Ring of Fire was all but abandoned when stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on how to develop the cache despite years of negotiations and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending. Now plans for an all-weather road to connect the region to the highway network are reigniting the fireworks.
		 
In this colorful tale, Virginia Heffernan draws on her bush and newsroom experiences to illustrate the complexities of resource development at a time when Indigenous rights are becoming enshrined globally. Ultimately, Heffernan strikes a hopeful note: the Ring of Fire presents an opportunity for Canada to leave behind centuries of plunder and set the global standard for responsible development of minerals critical to the green energy revolution.
