Architecture and design currently play a minor role in the design and construction of industrial building types, especially waste-to-energy facilities. Through comparing the well-established waste-to-energy industries in Sweden with less established engagements in the northeast of the United States, opportunities and lessons are revealed. This book presents a refreshed, design-led approach to waste-to-energy (WTE) plants, reflecting work done at Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD). Architecture and design currently play a minor role in the design and construction of industrial building types, especially waste-to-energy facilities. Architects have a role to play in integrating waste-to-energy plants physically and programmatically within their urban or suburban contexts, as well as potentially lessening the generally negative perception of energy recovery plants.

This newest addition to the Pamphlet Architecture series, long admired for its willingness to propose architectural solutions to challenging problems addresses the issue of rising sea levels with an interrogation of the concept of floating cities, a field of inquiry gaining increasing relevance and urgency with the impending reality of climate change. The authors explore notions of buoyancy and the amphibious through a typology based on human response and adaptation, to one of the hosting pressing issues of our day.

Nuclear Tables, Part II: Nuclear Reactions, Volume 1: The Elements from Neutron to Magnesium contains data on nuclear reactions and provides the energy level schemes of most of the nuclides. This book presents cross sections in numerical values and graphs. The Q-values, threshold values, kinetic energies of the emitted gamma rays, and energies and quanta-characteristics of the levels are also given in detail. The tables organized in this volume should enable scientists working in the theoretical and experimental field to recognize at first sight which problems are still waiting to be solved in the sphere of the particular nuclides. This publication is recommended for chemists and specialists conducting work on the elements from neutron to magnesium.
