A COLLECTION OF ESSAYS FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND FOUNDER OF THE EVERYDAY SEXISM PROJECT, LAURA BATES. 'Following [Everyday Sexism] will make most women feel oddly saner.' Caitlin Moran 'Piercingly astute.' Stylist Laura Bates, pioneering feminist, activist and bestselling author, has given voice to hundreds of thousands of women through her international Everyday Sexism Project. Drawing attention to both hidden and blatant sexist acts and attitudes, Laura has exposed the startling truth behind misogyny in our society: systemic, ingrained and ignored. From Weinstein to Westminster, a torrent of allegations of sexual harassment and assault have left us reeling. One hundred years since some w...
Principles For Personal Growth is a revised paperback edition of the hardcover book, Self-Help Stuff That Works (with 19 new chapters added and the seven weakest chapters removed). In Principles For Personal Growth, Adam Khan shows you how to feel good more often, become more effective at work, and deal better with all kinds of people, and does it in short, easy-to-read chapters. The chapters are independent of each others, so the book can be read in any order. It is perfect for browsing to find the right chapter to read at the moment. Principles For Personal Growth is like a condensed version of an entire self-help library in one book. The ideas are clearly presented and practical.
Forty-five contemporary European architects were given the task to design a fictional building expansion in line with the principles of the existing building -- a relevant question in an era when architecture increasingly seems to occur without the context being taken into account. The result is a collection of dialogues between contemporary architects and the past. A new generation of European architects is looking for rooted values rather than indiscriminate forms. Architecture as evolution, rather than revolution. How can the views that underlie the historical city be interwoven with the stories of the present? This question is answered in 45 designs and four essays.
The book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Materials, Design and Manufacturing (ICMDMSE 2022). The book covers recent trends in design and manufacturing practices relating to sustainability. Various topics covered in this book include materials design for sustainability, material characterization, tribology, finite element methods (FEM), computational fluid dynamics in designing materials, manufacturing techniques inclined to sustainability, additive manufacturing, energy, Industry 4.0, MEMS, green manufacturing, and optimization techniques. This book will be useful for researchers and professionals working in various fields of mechanical engineering.
Seventeen Muslim women speaking frankly about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about feminism, queer identity, sex, and the twin threats of a disapproving community and a racist country. With a mix of British and international women writers
This book presents the history, fundamentals, process development, applications, post-processing, and experimental results from additive manufacturing. The chapters cover surface treatments, modification, advancements in heat treatment, mechanical hardening and its effect on the material properties. This book also presents content on simulation, modeling, and optimization of materials processing and surface engineering techniques.
Published in association with the Architecture Foundation, NEW ARCHITECTS 3 showcases the wealth of emerging architectural talent in the UK. It provides a unique guide to over 85 of the most innovative and talented young architectural practices, many of which are destined to become the leading practices tomorrow. With this publication, the third in a groundbreaking series that began in 1998, the Architecture Foundation continues its tradition of championing new generations of architects and helping the development of many young practices. The first edition of NEW ARCHITECTS was cited by architects and clients alike as the one key reference source for the commissioning of public and private p...
While it's true that sometimes you are naturally motivated, especially immediately after deciding on a goal, it is also true that you can cultivate motivation or let it do what it naturally does most of the time: fade. Motivation is a tremendous power. A highly motivated person can accomplish seemingly impossible things. In this tiny book, you will learn how to stoke your inner fire, to get and keep your motivation burning white hot. This not only makes you more capable of accomplishment, but it makes life more fun. Would you like to see what you are really capable of? Intense motivation can unleash it.
This book provides essential information on environmentally benign/sustainable machining processes including innovations and developments in conventional machining, considering economy, safety, and productivity. Developments in machine tools, recent research on green lubricants and lubrication techniques, process hybridization, and the role of optimization techniques are discussed. Green machining of difficult-to-machine materials and composites is also explained with attempts towards making electric discharge and electrochemical machining technologies. Features: Covers up to date and latest information on environmentally benign machining technologies. Includes current approaches regarding t...
This book sheds light on the development of traditional and advanced optimization methods. Their use in various tradition and non-tradition manufacturing and machining processes for an improved manufacturability is reported. This includes key elements of implementing conventional statistical methods, multi-objective and multi-criteria decision-making methods and evolution of single and multi-target optimization techniques using soft computing to enhance production performance, efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing. The latest research in this area as well as possible avenues of future research are also highlighted.
