Beschreibung

Termite Architectural Feats explores the fascinating world of termite mounds, revealing how these structures exemplify bio-inspired design and sustainable practices. Termite mounds aren't just piles of dirt; they're sophisticated feats of natural engineering, showcasing collective intelligence and environmental adaptation.

 
For example, some species construct ventilation systems so effective they maintain remarkably stable internal temperatures, even in harsh climates. The book progresses from basic termite biology to complex concepts like thermodynamics and fluid dynamics within the mounds. It highlights how termites optimize mound structure for survival and reproduction.

 
Through field studies, lab experiments, and computational models, the book demonstrates how lessons from termite architecture can inform the development of passive cooling systems and sustainable building materials, offering practical solutions for contemporary environmental challenges.

    "Encargos Comunes" se presenta como un proyecto editorial que resume, a partir de tres obras de arquitectura, la práctica e investigación desarrollada por la oficina de arquitectura Taller25 en torno a esta profesión y su vínculo con la clase media contemporánea chilena. Estas obras identifican y visibilizan tres demandas sobre la vivienda: una Construcción nueva, una Reforma y una Ampliación, realizadas en comunas que normalmente se conocen como "Pericentrales" y "Periféricas" de la región Metropolitana (Lo Prado, San Bernardo y Maipú), cuyos mandantes o dueñas/os se inscriben en lo que estadísticamente se define como la clase media, transformándose así en un compendio atípico dentro de la disciplina de la arquitectura. De esta manera, la publicación propone una discusión crítica sobre la producción de la vivienda, y no de cualquier vivienda, sino de las más comunes de todas y, paradójicamente, menos abordadas desde el campo editorial y de divulgación en el área, como pueden ser las operaciones sobre la vivienda de y para los sectores medios.

    Because this book is about films related to a place, rather than to a genre, person, year or era, the range covered is hugely diverse. There will be films discussed here you have not heard of which are worth digging out and I would be beyond astonished if any reader has seen every film I treat as Scottish.
    What is a Scottish film?

    This book offers a meticulously researched guide to over 400 films set predominantly in Scotland, spanning from silent cinema to modern day blockbusters. Each entry provides essential details, a concise plot summary, contextual insights and critical analysis.
    All the opinions I offer in this book are mine, and mine alone. You're free to disagree, and almost certainly will, and your opinion is equally valid.
    Furse emphasises the connections to Scottish culture, highlighting adaptations of literature and the real-life events inspiring these films.
    Scottish Films is a thrilling treasure chest, packed with fresh insights and lesser known gems waiting to be discovered. It's a vibrant celebration of Scotland's cinematic artistry.

    Making Tutus is a practical guide to making these traditional costumes for classical ballet dancers. As with the tutu itself, the book approaches the task in three parts – the tutu plate, the bodice and the decorative sections. It shares the secrets of a leading costume-maker as it explains the challenging task of, on the one hand, creating a light and beautiful ballet outfit suitable for performance and, on the other, making a comfortable and hardwearing costume that suits a character. In doing so, it reveals the extraordinary talent and techniques required by the costume-maker.
