Sinopsis

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.

    Climate change is a reality, and communities around the world are now facing significant environmental problems – rising global temperatures leading to increased risk of flooding, fire, and sea level rise, resulting in the destruction of property and social infrastructure, loss of biodiversity and tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and damage to economies. Little wonder then that the online conference held on 30 September 2021 with the title "Ecomuseums and Climate Action" attracted more than one hundred participants from countries whose communities are facing these problems.
    
    This book presents the results of this conference where heritage experts, community activists, curators, politicians and academics from several countries, explored how ecomuseums and community museums are acting as catalysts for transition, renewal, and sustainable development and how they might effectively contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. How can these organisations best contribute to the debate about the climate crisis and promote local action? Central to those actions are encouraging local people to recognise how important their cultural, natural and intangible cultural heritage is in making places special and giving a sense of belonging, why that heritage should be sustained, and how heritage assets can be used to promote climate action. This book – with its remarkable collection of essays from around the world – demonstrates how small local actions, considered together, can have a dramatic and far-reaching impact. It will be warmly welcomed by anyone interested in climate action, heritage and museum studies, and environmental issues.

  • Stakeknife's Dirty War - The Inside Story of Scappaticci the IRA's Nutting Squad and the British Spooks Who Ran the War - cover

    Stakeknife's Dirty War - The...

    Freddie Scappaticci was born in 1946 and raised in a deeply nationalist area of Belfast. When the Troubles broke out in 1969, he joined the Provisional IRA, where he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming commander of Belfast in 1984. 
     
    From the outside, Scappaticci appeared to be a dedicated volunteer, but inwardly, he had become disenchanted with the IRA and, in 1977, he started working for British intelligence. At the same time, he took up a leading role in a newly formed IRA Internal Security Unit (ISU), aka ‘The Nutting Squad’. He personally executed two suspected informers and condemned at least thirty-seven more to death. 
     
    Was he the serial killer that history portrays him? Undoubtedly. But it’s not that simple, because every time he passed the death penalty on an informer, he told his British intelligence handlers about the intended execution, giving them the opportunity to prevent the killing. 
     
    Did the tasking and co-ordinating group, the primary British intelligence organisation in Northern Ireland during the troubles, aid and abet the IRA in the mass-murder of British citizens? That is the question Richard O’Rawe poses in Stakeknife’s Dirty War. But O’Rawe goes further: he lays out a very compelling case that points to the TCGs running the IRA’s war from the mid-1980s to the 1994 ceasefire. Such was the British intelliegence penetration of the IRA, that Freddie Scappaticci, aka ‘Stakeknife’, was in control of all IRA operations in the Belfast Brigade area. This book will shock readers, and cause them to reevaluate everything they formerly held to be true about Stakeknife’s dirty war in Ireland.
