Sinopsis

"Eco Concrete" addresses the critical need for sustainable construction materials by exploring alternatives to traditional concrete. Given concrete production's significant contribution to global carbon dioxide emissions—approximately 8%—the book investigates methods to reduce its environmental impact. It focuses on two primary strategies: integrating supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like fly ash and slag, which are byproducts from other industries, and developing entirely new binder systems such as geopolymers and magnesium oxide-based concretes. These alternatives not only lower carbon emissions but can also enhance concrete's strength and durability.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the long-term durability of these sustainable alternatives, considering factors like resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and chemical attacks, which are vital for ensuring the long-term viability of infrastructure. Through a comprehensive review of research, laboratory data, field studies, and lifecycle assessment (LCA) reports, "Eco Concrete" provides a fact-based technical approach suitable for students, engineers, and policymakers.

 
Beginning with a historical overview and the science of cement hydration, the book dedicates chapters to specific alternatives, progresses through their production processes, and concludes with performance evaluations. The value of this book lies in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing connections between material science, civil engineering, environmental science, and economics. By presenting case studies and economic considerations, "Eco Concrete" aims to bridge the gap between research and practical application, promoting the widespread adoption of sustainable concrete for a more environmentally responsible future.

    Computing has become an integral part of modern society, shaping various industries, scientific research, and everyday life. At its core, computing involves the use of computers and algorithms to process data, solve problems, and automate tasks. This chapter provides an overview of computing and the fundamental principles of computational thinking, which form the foundation for problem-solving in the digital age. 
    Computing encompasses both hardware and software components. Hardware refers to the physical devices, such as processors, memory units, and input/output devices, that perform computational tasks. Software, on the other hand, consists of programs and algorithms that instruct hardware on how to process information. The evolution of computing has led to significant advancements, from early mechanical calculators to modern high-performance computing systems capable of handling vast amounts of data. 
    Computational thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves breaking down complex problems into manageable parts, recognizing patterns, and developing step-by-step solutions. It consists of several key principles, including decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithm design. Decomposition involves dividing a problem into smaller, more manageable sub-problems. Abstraction focuses on identifying relevant details while ignoring unnecessary complexity. Pattern recognition allows problem solvers to identify similarities between different problems, enabling efficient solutions. Algorithm design involves creating a set of well-defined steps to achieve a specific outcome.

    From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour of the infrastructure behind the weather forecast, the people who built it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planet 
    The weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It’s a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet behind these quotidian interactions is one of the most expansive machines human beings have ever constructed—a triumph of science, technology and global cooperation. But what is this ‘weather machine’ and who created it?  
    In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through an everyday miracle. In a quest to understand how the forecast works, he visits old weather stations and watches new satellites blast off. He follows the dogged efforts of scientists to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere and traces the surprising history of the algorithms that power their work. He discovers that we have quietly entered a golden age of meteorology—our tools allow us to predict weather more accurately than ever, and yet we haven’t learned to trust them, nor can we guarantee the fragile international alliances that allow our modern weather machine to exist. 
    Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our relationships with technology, the planet, and the global community.

    What kind of fossils will we leave, as relics into the far future? A blizzard of new objects has suddenly appeared on Earth: plastic bottles, ballpoint pens, concrete flyways, chicken bones, cans, teabags, phones, shirts. They're produced for our comfort and pleasure then quickly discarded. This new-made treasure chest underpins our lives. But it is also giving a completely new style of fossilization to our planet. Designed to resist corrosion and decay, many will remain, petrified, as future geology. 
     
     
     
    What will these technofossils look like? How long will they last and how will they change? Discarded describes how they transform and what will be left of them. These new fossils have meaning for our lives today. For we live on a world increasingly buried under our growing waste. As our discarded artefacts begin to change into fossils, they may be swallowed by birds, entangle fish, alter microbial communities and release toxins. Even buried in rock, technofossils may break down into new-formed oil and gas, change the composition of groundwater, and attract new mineral growths. 
     
     
     
    It is a new planetary phenomenon, now unfolding around us. Scientists are only just beginning to grasp its scale, and get to grips with how it functions. This book describes the kind of science that is emerging to show the far-future human footprint on Earth.
