Medieval Territories
This volume brings together 18 case studies investigating territory in the Middle Ages from an archaeological perspective. It offers contributions from prestigious professors, such as Flocel Sabaté and Jesús Brufal, and a selected set of young researchers. It promotes new perspectives on territory studies through innovative research methods. The case studies are organized chronologically from the end of the Roman Empire to the end of the Middle Ages, focusing especially on cases in Portugal, Spain and Italy, in order to provide a Mediterranean perspective. The volume explores a range of topics, from aspects of methodological informatics in the valley of Ager in Catalonia, the evolution of prosperous cities in the Middle Ages (such as Braga, Pisa and Milan), the transformation of the early medieval rural space to the long evolution of island territories (Sardinia), and the influence of the military actions, the political power and the religious architecture on the landscape in the Iberian and the Italian Peninsula, among other topics. As such, this publication offers a variety of new insights into the study of medieval territory.
Volcaniclastic Rocks, from Magmas to Sediments
This volume is an excellently written and beautifully illustrated textbook compiled by a multidisciplinary group of experts examining the production, transport and deposition of volcaniclasts (tephra and epiclasts) as well as their economic geology.

Statische Beurteilung historischer Tragwerke
Das Bauen im Bestand wird zu einem immer wichtigeren Teilbereich des Bauwesens. Die Aufgabe der Beurteilung existierender Tragwerke stellt sich bei Umbauten oder Umnutzungen, und zunehmend auch bei der Einschätzung der Standsicherheit von öffentlich zugänglichen Bauwerken. Gerade historische Holzkonstruktionen für Dachwerke und Deckentragwerke sind für Umwelteinwirkungen und Überlastungssituationen anfällig und daher meist nicht schadensfrei. Bei realistischer Beurteilung können Tragreserven durch Reparaturmaßnahmen aktiviert und somit die Eingriffe auf ein Mindestmaß begrenzt werden, was besonders unter denkmalpflegerischen Randbedingungen erwünscht ist. In Band 2 werden die hand...
Comprendre simplement la résistance des matériaux
La structure ne doit pas être une contrainte, mais un support de créativité. Maîtriser la résistance des matériaux et connaître les systèmes structuraux permet de mieux les utiliser et de concevoir des bâtiments équilibrés et innovants. Cet ouvrage, abondamment illustré, explique simplement le fonctionnement des structures, le comportement des matériaux et les principes de dimensionnement des bâtiments en s’appuyant sur des connaissances simples et sur des situations de la vie courante. Il démontre aussi pourquoi et comment les enjeux fondamentaux d’une conception structurelle doivent être abordés dès l’origine du projet. Les fondements de la résistance des matériau...
La construction comment ça marche?
Quels sont les points singuliers à respecter pour la réalisation d’une toiture végétalisée ? Comment sont constitués les profilés de fenêtres métalliques à rupteurs de ponts thermiques ?

Quels principes respecter pour concevoir un système de climatisation centralisé ? Quels sont les principes de construction d’une piscine extérieure ? Comment mettre en Å“uvre un portail motorisé ? C’est à ces questions – et bien d’autres encore ! – que cet ouvrage apporte des réponses claires et précises... grâce à lâ€...
The Making of India
This book presents in a concise format a simplified and coherent geological-dynamical history of the Indian subcontinent (including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Southern Tibet and Pakistan). Encompassing a broad array of information related to structure and tectonics, stratigraphy and palaeontology, sedimentation and palaeogeography, petrology and geochemistry, geomorphology and geophysics, it explores the geodynamic developments that took place from the beginning around 3.4 billion years ago to the last about 5,000 years before present. Presented in a distilled form, the observations and deductions of practitioners, this book is meant for teachers, researchers and students of geology, geophysics and geomorphology and practitioners of earth sciences. A comprehensive list of references to original works provides guidance for those seeking further details and who wish to examine selected problems in depth. The book is illustrated with a wealth of maps, cross sections and block diagrams — all simplified and redesigned.
