HEGEMONY
An object encrypted with a Master Plan for terror at the EU parliament brought to Stockholm by a Saudi royal entourage went missing. Prince Fareed's missions: sign the Gripen Arms Sales with Sweden negotiated in Riyadh by government officials and address Turkey's membership to the EU in Brussels. Amidst the 113th Nobel Prize Award Ceremony in Stockholm Concert House, the Saudi ambassador is murdered and a Swedish prostitute beheaded while secret collaterals to the Gripen Agreement securing Islam's dominance in Svealand are exposed. Dubbed The Ã-stermalm Crime Mystery, government ministers, Saudi and Iranian Islamist terrorists, the young Swedish Crown princess, a PhD candidate, a neophyte police superintendent, and Iranian nurse/code breaker grapple with each other in Stockholm City and Oxford University for control of the impending terror in Brussels. Time span of the novel: 13-22 December, ten days in freezing Scandinavian winter.
Architecture & Sustainable Development (vol.1)
This book of Proceedings presents the latest thinking and research in the rapidly evolving world of architecture and sustainable development through 255 selected papers by authors coming from over 60 countries.
Sustainable Housing Projects
This book presents knowledge gained over the last 15 years developing new sustainable housing projects in the Netherlands.
Lunar and Planetary Rovers
This book fills a need for a complete history of the Lunar Roving Vehicle used on Apollo 15, 16 and 17, drawing on many photographs never before published. It also tells the story of the robotic rovers used on Mars, and concludes with a description of the new designs of rovers planned for The New Vision for Exploration now underway at NASA. The book provides extensive quotes from the astronauts who drove the LRV on the Moon from interviews conducted especially for the book. It also details new material from interviews of engineers and managers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory covering the robotic rovers, Sojourner, Sprit and Opportunity.
Sustainable Energy Landscapes
In the near future the appearance and spatial organization of urban and rural landscapes will be strongly influenced by the generation of renewable energy. One of the critical tasks will be the re-integration of these sustainable energy landscapes into the existing environment-which people value and want to preserve-in a socially fair, environmenta
Migration and Identity in British East and Southeast Asian Cinema
An emerging interest in a British East and Southeast Asian identity after decades of political and social exclusion has coincided with periods of economic and political challenges in the UK. In Migration and Identity in British East and Southeast Asian Cinema, Leung Wing-Fai argues that this explosive context has created rich and diverse forms of storytelling and an accented cinematic language. By offering close readings of key contemporary films and positioning them in a wider slate of releases by British East and Southeast Asian filmmakers alongside Anglophone film histories in the Global North, this book sheds light on a developing field and engenders new ways of understanding British cin...
Expanding Boundaries: Systems Thinking in the Built Environment
Consuming over 40% of total primary energy, the built environment is in the centre of worldwide strategies and measures towards a more sustainable future. To provide resilient solutions, a simple optimisation of individual technologies will not be sufficient. In contrast, whole system thinking reveals and exploits connections between parts. Each system interacts with others on different scales (materials, components, buildings, cities) and domains (ecology, economy and social). Whole-system designers optimize the performance of such systems by understanding interconnections and identifying synergies. The more complete the design integration, the better the result. In this book, the reader will find the proceedings of the 2016 Sustainable Built Environment (SBE) Regional Conference in Zurich. Papers have been written by academics and practitioners from all continents to bring forth the latest understanding on systems thinking in the built environment.
Environmental Indicators for Building Design
Construction will always be needed, and will always consume resources. In developing an approach for assessing sustainable building, the Three Step Strategy (in the Netherlands named Trias Ecologica) has proven to be useful. This title looks at this Strategy.
Towards 0-impact Buildings and Built Environments
"This book has been produced as part of the SB10 Sustainable Building Western Europe Conference, one of nine SB10s that have been held worldwide."--Page 9.
