Usefulness in Small Things
Everyday, low-cost, and mass-produced items gathered from around the world showcasing innovative design. This book presents a delightful collection of mass-produced objects that provide insight into the things that surround us. Common items such as nails, plugs, toothbrushes, soap, gloves, and sweets have their own function and differ in design from country to country and region to region. Some are examples of good and practical design, while others fail to fulfill their function. The collection shows an appreciation to detail by revealing how things are made and a sensitivity to the tasks people carry out, all the while keeping in mind the basic utilitarian design of these inexpensive every...
Multi-Storey Precast Concrete Framed Structures
Precast reinforced and prestressed concrete frames provide a high strength, stable, durable and robust solution for any multi-storey structure, and are widely regarded as a high quality, economic and architecturally versatile technology for the construction of multi-storey buildings. The resulting buildings satisfy a wide range of commercial and industrial needs. Precast concrete buildings behave in a different way to those where the concrete is cast in-situ, with the components subject to different forces and movements. These factors are explored in detail in the second edition of Multi-Storey Precast Concrete Framed Structures, providing a detailed understanding of the procedures involved ...
Afterwinds
In 2063 the United States has become a third-world country. War rages in Europe. Religious freedom has been relinquished. Hollywood has been banned. The bread basket of the country has gone dry, and the cities have been abandoned to the destitute, turning them into lawless shells of their former selves. Even so, the worst is yet to come. When a mysterious white light engulfs the country, America is thrust into a new dark age, leaving ten disparate and valiant individuals to rebuild and claim their place in a new world-a world unlike anything they have ever known. Facing challenges of staying alive, the few survivors are drawn to the town of Bastion nestled deep in a Wyoming mountain range, a community seemingly untouched by the horrible events of the world. Here they must work together or else face extinction from a new and frightening enemy. As the future of civilization hangs in the balance, a few will rise from the after winds of disaster and do what is necessary, changing the meaning and expectations inherent in the word humanity.
Smart
Krimi. There's been a murder, but the police don't care. It was only a homeless old man after all. But Kieran cares. He's going to find out what really happened to Colin and to his grandma, who just stopped coming round one day. Kieran's a master of observation, and knows all the detective tricks of the trade. But being a detective is difficult, when you're Kieran Woods. And when there are dangerous secrets everywhere, not just outside, but under your own roof
Dwell
At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.
From Recipients to Donors
From Recipients to Donors examines the emergence, or re-emergence, of a large number of nations as partners and donors in international development, from global powers such as Brazil, China and India, to Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia, to former socialist states such as Poland and Russia. The impact of these countries in international development has grown sharply, and as a result they have become a subject of intense interest and analysis. This unique book explores the range of opportunities and challenges this phenomenon presents for poorer countries and for development policy, ideology and governance. Drawing on the author’s rich original research, whilst expertly condensing published and unpublished material, From Recipients to Donors is an essential critical analysis and review for anyone interested in development, aid and international relations.
Collage City
This book is a critical reappraisal of contemporary theories of urban planning and design and of the role of the architect-planner in an urban context. The authors, rejecting the grand utopian visions of "total planning" and "total design," propose instead a "collage city" which can accommodate a whole range of utopias in miniature.
Dilemmas in Youth Work and Youth Development Practice
The fundamental aim of youth work is to build trusting and mutually respectful relationships with young people, creating transformative experiences for young people in formal and informal spaces outside of homes and schools.

By showing how different youth workers respond to a variety of such dilemmas, this authentic text makes visible youth workers’ unique knowledge and skills, and explores how to work with challenging situations – from the everyday to the extraordinary. Beginni...
