Sinossi

"How Buildings Stand" explores the core principles of structural engineering, revealing how structures manage forces to remain stable. It highlights the crucial interplay between design, materials, and the laws of physics that govern the built environment.

 
The book journeys from fundamental concepts like stress distribution to the analysis of diverse building materials—from traditional stone to modern steel—exploring their strengths and weaknesses. Intriguingly, understanding load paths is paramount to appreciating how forces are managed within a structure to prevent collapse.

 
The book progresses from statics and mechanics to analyzing structural elements like beams and columns, then examines complete structural systems, including skyscrapers and bridges. Historical examples illustrate the evolution of construction techniques, while case studies of structural failures emphasize the importance of safety factors.

 
By connecting structural engineering with architecture, materials science, and environmental sustainability, "How Buildings Stand" offers a comprehensive perspective on creating sustainable and resilient designs.

Objectivity & Diversity -...

Sandra Harding

Worries about scientific objectivity seem never-ending. Social critics and philosophers of science have argued that invocations of objectivity are often little more than attempts to boost the status of a claim, while calls for value neutrality may be used to suppress otherwise valid dissenting positions. Objectivity is used sometimes to advance democratic agendas, at other times to block them; sometimes for increasing the growth of knowledge, at others to resist it. Sandra Harding is not ready to throw out objectivity quite yet. For all of its problems, she contends that objectivity is too powerful a concept simply to abandon. In Objectivity and Diversity, Harding calls for a science that is both more epistemically adequate and socially just, a science that would ask: How are the lives of the most economically and politically vulnerable groups affected by a particular piece of research? Do they have a say in whether and how the research is done? Should empirically reliable systems of indigenous knowledge count as "real science"? Ultimately, Harding argues for a shift from the ideal of a neutral, disinterested science to one that prizes fairness and responsibility.
