Sinopsis

Bridges Collapsed explores the dramatic history of bridge failures, offering crucial insights into structural engineering, architecture, and applied mechanics. By examining engineering disasters like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse and the Tay Bridge disaster, the book highlights how these tragedies have paradoxically driven advancements in bridge design and safety regulations. For example, the collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge underscored the critical importance of regular inspections and load capacity assessments. 

 
The book presents detailed case studies, analyzing the specific engineering deficiencies and environmental factors that contributed to each collapse. It then traces the evolution of bridge engineering practices in response to these failures, showcasing how lessons learned have been incorporated into subsequent designs and construction methods.

 
Understanding the socio-political context in which these bridges were conceived, funded, and built is also critical. The book progresses from fundamental principles of bridge engineering to in-depth failure analysis and the resulting design improvements.

 
This book provides a holistic approach by integrating technical analysis with historical context and policy considerations, making it valuable for engineering students, practicing engineers, architects, and anyone interested in the history and science of infrastructure. Readers gain a solid foundation in bridge engineering principles, including load distribution and structural integrity, while understanding the ongoing challenges in bridge engineering, such as aging infrastructure and the need for sustainable design.

Sustainability - A Very Short...

Saleem H. Ali

The growing concern about global environmental change and human impacts on the planet has led to the emergence of a broad field of study on the 'sustainability' of human societies. The term's common usage can be traced back to the advent of the Earth Summit in 1992 when 'sustainable development' was broadly embraced by the international community as an ostensibly win-win proposition for economic development, social inclusion, and ecological conservation. Yet both the natural science underpinnings and the social implications of a quest for sustainability have been diffuse. There is a need for a coherent synthesis which draws out key themes from both natural and social analysis of the concept.This Very Short Introduction begins by introducing the concept of sustainability and how it has developed. The central chapters consider four key concepts crucial to sustainability: a) material and energy flows in consumption and production; b) technological interventions for a sustainable society; c) tipping points, and resilience in natural and social systems; and d) renewability and circularity in the economy. In the concluding chapter, Saleem H. Ali explores political means of managing anthropogenic change for a more sustainable society.

Where the Earth Meets the Sky -...

Louise K. Blight

Antarctica is a land of extremes. But while its hurricane force winds, tooth-breaking cold, and resident penguins have long been iconic, the perspective of a practicing female scientist is all but absent from modern day Antarctic accounts. Where the Earth Meets the Sky fills that gap.Louise and her campmate David Ainley—one of the greatest Antarctic scientists on the planet—live in a world defined by hostile weather, breathtaking beauty, a continuous parade of avian visitors, and an occasional human visitor. There she explores the lingering grief that has followed the untimely death of her sister, and presents penguins as a window into how climate change and other environmental impacts are altering what has been one of the most untouched corners of the globe.While penguins and the awe-inspiring landscapes they inhabit provide the thread that runs through this story, a central theme is how the world's most unforgiving environment has shaped the psyches of Antarctica’s human visitors, past and present.Experiencing the Antarctic wildernesses has the potential to heal the human psyche and, perhaps, to give us the optimism to reimagine our relationship with the natural world.

Hunting Dogs

Oliver Hartley

The title of this book quotes its object. To tell something of night hunting, and especially to suggest how the ever necessary dog can best be selected, trained, maintained and utilized, is the consideration of first importance. To round out the subject all forms of hunting will receive some notice, and the various breeds of dogs will be so far dealt with, that their value and usefulness in their given fields may be determined. Best of all, the contents of this volume are based on the opinions and declarations of men who have had years of experience in the matters on which they presume to write.(Extracted from the Introduction)
