Membrane Structures
In this comprehensive work to date on membrane technology for architecture, pioneers show how one of the world's oldest forms of building material is also its most innovative. Today, the cutting edge in architecture is not sharp but curved and undulating. It is also impermeable to moisture, resistant to extreme temperatures, flexible and portable. Known as the fifth building material after wood, stone, glass, and metal, membranes are popping up everywhere: in Olympic stadiums in Berlin and Atlanta, in airports from Denver to Bangkok, over fashion shows, formal gardens, and soccer fields. Membranes' ability to not only let in but also reflect light portends enormous possibilities for harnessing energy. This fascinating survey of membrane structures throughout the world discusses the history of the medium, describes the materials and their uses, explores the technology of membrane construction, and investigates numerous current and future projects. A final chapter offers a reasoned argument for further research and experimentation in this rapidly expanding field and a projection of its exciting future. Illustrated throughout
Trusted Computing - Challenges and Applications
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Conference on Trusted Computing and Trust in Information Technologies, TRUST 2008, held in Villach, Austria, in March 2008. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. The papers cover the core issues of trust in IT systems and present recent leading edge developments in the field of trusted infrastructure and computing to foster the international knowledge exchange necessary to catch up with the latest trends in science and technology developments.
Trusted Computing - Challenges and Applications
This volume contains papers presented at TRUST 2008, the ?rst international conference on Trusted Computing and Trust in Information Technologies, held in March 2008 in Villach, Austria. The aim of the conference was to create a joint scienti?c and networking platform covering the core issues of trust in IT systems and trusted computing and to bridge the gaps between international research groups and projects in closely related ?elds. The organizers received 43 submissions from 17 countries. Each of the s- mittedpaperswasreviewedbythreereviewers.Basedonthesereviews13papers were selected as suitable for the conference and the authors were asked to p- sent their work. Further, six renowned speakers from academia, industry and the European Commission were invited for keynotes. The accepted papers are published in this volume together with one paper from Paul England, one of the invited speakers at TRUST 2008. TheconferencewassupportedbytheEuropeanCommissionviatheOpen-TC project (FP6 IST-027635), by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and by the city of Villach.

Philosophy after Marx
Christoph Henning writes a concise history of misreadings of Marx in the 20th century. Focussing on German philosophy from Heidegger to Habermas, he also addresses the influence of Rawls and Neopragmatism, subsequently scrutinizing a previous history of Marx-interpretations that had served as the premises upon which these later works were based. Henning sketches a historical trajectory in which a theory of socialist politics enters the fields of economics, sociology, critical theory and theology, before finally – overloaded with intellectually dead freight – entering into philosophy. In so doing, he takes a hermeneutic approach to how misreadings in a specific field proliferate into further misreadings across a variety of fields, leading to an accumulation of questionable preconceptions. With the recent resurgence of interest in Marx, Henning's historical recursions make evident where and how academic Anti-Marxism had previously got it wrong.
