The 21st Century Office
This first comprehensive survey of workplace design for the new century, this book captures emerging themes and ideas in office architecture and interiors around the world. Written and researched by the authors of The Creative Office, it advances the concept of increasing creativity in planning and design by exploring the new workplace models that are developing in response to rapid organisational, social and technological change. In the introduction the authors discuss how the new workplace of the 21st century is already exhibiting different spatial, organizational and material characteristics from the scientifically managed, process-driven, mechanistic model of the 20th century modern office. This is followed by four thematic chapters that illustrate the key new trends through 45 international case studies.
Solar buildings
Oggi in tutto il mondo nel campo dell'architettura e dell'urbanistica si stanno studiando, sperimentando e realizzando sistemi basati sulle energie rinnovabili. Questo non è soltanto una risposta alla crisi energetica che coinvolge tutto il nostro pianeta ma anche un rinnovato senso etico dell'agire in forma economica e in armonia con l'ambiente, con l'adozione di soluzioni essenziali, prive di sprechi che vivano come esseri biologici stabilendo relazioni non di contrasto ma d'amicizia con l'ambiente. Questo atteggiamento si riallaccia a tradizioni plurimillenarie che dall'antica civiltà egizia trovano momenti straordinari in quella romana, islamica e nel rinascimento ma anche nei più umi...
Toward a Theory of Peace
Military analyst, peace activist, teacher, and social theorist Randall Caroline Watson Forsberg (1943–2007) founded the Nuclear Freeze campaign and the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies. In Toward a Theory of Peace, completed in 1997 and published for the first time here, she delves into a vast literature in psychology, anthropology, archeology, sociology, and history to examine the ways in which changing moral beliefs came to stigmatize forms of "socially sanctioned violence" such as human sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery, eventually rendering them unacceptable. Could the same process work for war? Edited and with an introduction by political scientists Matthew Evangelista (Cornell University) and Neta C. Crawford (Boston University), both of whom worked with Forsberg.

Kinder können von Natur aus gut...

Mechanisms of Neuroinflammation and Inflammatory Neurodegeneration in Acute Brain Injury
Mechanisms of brain-immune interactions became a cutting-edge topic in systemic neurosciences over the past years. Acute lesions of the brain parenchyma, particularly, induce a profound and highly complex neuroinflammatory reaction with similar mechanistic properties between differing disease paradigms like ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Resident microglial cells sense tissue damage and initiate inflammation, activation of the endothelial brain-immune interface promotes recruitment of systemic immune cells to the brain and systemic humoral immune mediators (e.g. complements and cytokines) enter the brain through the damaged blood-brain barri...
