Structures and Their Analysis
Addressing structures, this book presents a classic discipline in a modern setting by combining illustrated examples with insights into the solutions. It is the fruit of the author’s many years of teaching the subject and of just as many years of research into the design of optimal structures. Although intended for an advanced level of instruction it has an undergraduate course at its core. Further, the book was written with the advantage of having massive computer power in the background, an aspect which changes the entire approach to many engineering disciplines and in particular to structures. This paradigm shift has dislodged the force (flexibility) method from its former prominence an...

Wilwisheim
Un petit village sur la grande route de Saverne à Brumath, les pieds dans l'eau de la Zorn et la tête perchée sur l'Altenberg. Depuis le vieux vignoble, la vue découvre le canal de la Marne au Rhin et voit passer les rapides sur la ligne de chemin de fer. Les maisons, elles se serrent autour du vieux clocher qui conserve des vestiges gothiques alors que la silhouette du château rappelle les riches heures d'antan des grandes familles nobles qui vécurent ici. Jamais encore ce lieu discret n'avait fait l'objet d'une publication. Grâce à Gabriel Keller, ancien commissaire de police, l'enquête à été rondement menée. Avec l'aide des gens de Wilse il a pu reconstituer les grandes étap...

The Future of Health Policy
Fuchs (economics, Stanford U.) presents the basic concepts and facts necessary to understand the ongoing debate about health care reform in the US. Any program that benefits society as a whole will inevitable burden certain individuals and groups, he says, and the critical issues are decoupling health care from employment, taming but not destroying technological advances, and coping with the increased costs of an aging population.

Against Essentialism
Against Essentialism presents a sociological theory of culture. This interdisciplinary and foundational work deals with basic issues common to current debates in social theory, including society, culture, meaning, truth, and communication. Stephan Fuchs argues that many mysteries about these concepts lose their mysteriousness when dynamic variations are introduced. Fuchs proposes a theory of culture and society that merges two core traditions--American network theory and European (Luhmannian) systems theory. His book distinguishes four major types of social observers--encounters, groups, organizations, and networks. Society takes place in these four modes of association. Each generates levels of observation linked with each other into a culture--the unity of these observations. Against Essentialism presents a groundbreaking new approach to the construction of society, culture, and personhood. The book invites both social scientists and philosophers to see what happens when essentialism is abandoned.
Assembly
In recent years "leaderless" social movements have proliferated around the globe, from North Africa and the Middle East to Europe, the Americas, and East Asia. Some of these movements have led to impressive gains: the toppling of authoritarian leaders, the furthering of progressive policy, and checks on repressive state forces. They have also been, at times, derided by journalists and political analysts as disorganized and ineffectual, or suppressed by disoriented and perplexed police forces and governments who fail to effectively engage them. Activists, too, struggle to harness the potential of these horizontal movements. Why have the movements, which address the needs and desires of so man...
