Aesthetics of Sustainable Architecture

In contrast to the mechanistic model, the book attempts to open a new area of scholarship and debate on sustainability in the design and production of architecture. It traces and underscores how the consideration of environment and sustainability is directly connected to aesthetic propositions in architecture.

North Korea

As perennial famine and material shortages call into question the tenability of North Korea's military-authoritarian government, the international community has struggled to reconcile contradictory humanitarian, economic, and political goals in formulating foreign policy and aid responses to the secretive Pyongyang regime. In a historical analysis drawing heavily on primary sources, Lee attacks the problem at its root: the assumption of policy-makers that Pyongyang's belligerence and intractability is an attempt to secure autonomy and national legitimacy in the eyes of the world. Rather, Lee argues, close review of the available evidence demonstrates convincingly that forced reunification wi...

This book explains how analysis of the heterogeneity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) enhances understanding of the condition and leads to improved, personalized treatment. State of the art knowledge is presented on a range of issues related to the heterogeneity of COPD, such as phenotypes (clinical, physiologic, radiologic, etc.), genotypes, and the tools to be used for dissecting heterogeneity (CT, MRI, biomarkers, etc.). Especially modern radiologic imaging holds promise in this context, and its role is described in detail with the aid of numerous illustrations. The implications of the heterogeneity for personalized treatment are clearly identified, with description of an appropriate tailored treatment strategy for each subgroup of patients. Information is provided on both current and emerging strategies, including bronchoscopic lung volume reduction and approaches to the management of pulmonary hypertension and comorbidities. This book will be a great asset in clinical practice and research for all who have an interest in COPD, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

When the major powers sent troops to the Korean peninsula in June of 1950, it supposedly marked the start of one of the last century's bloodiest conflicts. In volume 1, Allan Millett, however, reveals that the Korean War actually began with partisan clashes two years earlier and had roots in the political history of Korea under Japanese rule, 1910-1945. In volume 2, he shifts his focus to the twelve-month period from North Korea's invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, through the end of June 1951 -- the most active phase of the internationalized "Korean War."

Really, God-Bangladesh?

When registered nurse Vicki Augustiniak received the phone call in the fall of 2003 that she would be traveling to Bangladesh to provide medical care to the country's citizens, she felt both anxious and gratified. For years, she had dreamed of using her talents to help others, and now the time had come. In her memoir, Augustiniak details her journey. Based on journal entries, she shares the story of how a young woman born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, received the call from God to serve others in a foreign country. Beginning with her early years and continuing through adulthood, she narrates her life story being the oldest of nine children in a family filled with turmoil, attending nursing school, marrying her husband in 1973, and traveling abroad. Really, God Bangladesh? tells the inspiring story of Augustiniak providing help and hope around the globe and how that work brought her peace and changed her life through the goal of hoping to build a hospital in Bangladesh.
