Advances in Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials
This book presents contributions to the 9th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials held in Porquerolles, France, May 23-26, 2011. This series of conferences, started in the early 1980s, is dedicated to the research on degradation and instability phenomena in geomaterials. The volume gathers a series of manuscripts by brilliant international scholars reflecting recent trends in theoretical and experimental research in geomechanics. It incorporates contributions on topics like instability analysis, localized and diffuse failure description, multi-scale modeling and applications to geo-environmental issues. This book will be valuable for anyone interested in the research on degradation and instabilities in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering, appealing to graduate students, researchers and engineers alike.
Philosophy and the Climate Crisis
This book explores how the history of philosophy can orient us to the new reality brought on by the climate crisis. If we understand the climate crisis as a deeply existential one, it can help to examine the way past philosophers responded to similar crises in their times. This book explores five past crises, each involving a unique form of collective trauma. These events—war, occupation, exile, scientific revolution and political revolution—inspired the philosophers to remake the whole world in thought, to construct a metaphysics. Williston distills a key intellectual innovation from each metaphysical system: • That political power must be constrained by knowledge of the climate syste...

Fiabilité des matériaux et des structures
Depuis 1994, les colloques JFMS - Journées de la Fiabilité des Matériaux et des Structures rassemblent tous les deux ans, chercheurs et doctorants, consultants ou ingénieurs, familiers de l’analyse de fiabilité ou de risques appliquée aux matériaux et aux structures et privilégient les développements méthodologiques de traitement de l’incertain (probabilistes, possibilistes ou autres). Les JFMS2014 ont été organisées à Aix-en-Provence par Irstea les 9 et 10 avril 2014. Cette édition a porté plus particulièrement sur le thème de l’interaction systèmes-aléas, les systèmes considérés pouvant être des matériaux, des structures ou des ouvrages. En effet, dans la plupart des cas réels, les incertitudes sur les sollicitations et sur l’environnement mécanique, naturel et anthropique conditionnent l’évaluation de la fiabilité des structures et des ouvrages. Cet ouvrage est le recueil de l’ensemble de ces communications.
Conjunction.World
My uncle, the renowned Ingo Swann, was a man of mystery and intrigue. As one of the US Government’s top psychic spies, he held secrets that few knew and even fewer understood. One day, he confided in me with a hushed tone and a glint in his eye: “We are not alone on this planet.” This wasn’t entirely new to me. I had encountered numerous inexplicable events, but I couldn’t believe they were actually real. It just seemed too impossible. Years later, however, my curiosity drove me to learn more. Amidst this learning adventure, I stumbled upon a declassified briefing from 1973 stating a group of Nazis was to blame for releasing an arcane terror upon the world. Unless one is deeply roo...
Digital Legend and Belief
The internet brings new urgency to the study of folklore. The digital networks we use every day amplify the capacity of legends to spread swiftly, define threats, and inform action. Using the case of a particularly popular digital bogeyman known as the Slender Man, Andrew Peck brings the study of legends into the twenty-first century. Peck explains not only how legends circulate in the digital swirl of the internet but also how the internet affects how legends seep into our offline lives and into the mass media we consume. What happens, he asks, when legends go online? How does the internet enable the creation of new legends? How do these ideas go viral? How do tradition and technology inter...
