Sinossi

Tunnels And Infrastructure explores the hidden world beneath our cities, examining the design, engineering, and construction of tunnels for transport and utilities. It addresses the growing need for sustainable infrastructure in expanding urban environments. Tunnels offer solutions to surface congestion, minimize environmental impact, and enhance urban resilience. The book highlights the historical evolution of tunneling and its connection to social and economic factors. For example, modern subway systems evolved from ancient aqueducts, demonstrating the enduring need for underground solutions. The book uniquely integrates technological innovation with environmental and social considerations.

 
The book begins with tunneling methods and materials, including traditional techniques and modern technologies like tunnel boring machines. It examines planning and design phases, including geological surveying and risk assessment. Case studies from around the world, both successful and unsuccessful, illustrate the factors influencing project outcomes. It progresses from transport tunnels to utility tunnels, then to the integration and future of both. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach helps readers make informed decisions about developing sustainable and resilient urban environments.

Melvin "Bird Man Mel" Toellner,...

As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
