Urban Water Systems & Floods III
Flooding is a global phenomenon that claims numerous lives worldwide each year. Apart from the physical damage to buildings, contents and loss of life, which are the most obvious, impacts of floods upon households and other more indirect losses are often overlooked. These indirect and intangible impacts are generally associated with disruption to normal life and longer-term health issues. Flooding represents a major barrier to the alleviation of poverty in many parts of the developing world, where vulnerable communities are often exposed to sudden and life-threatening events. As our cities continue to expand, their urban infrastructures need to be re-evaluated and adapted to new requirements...
Urban Agriculture and City Sustainability II
As urban populations continue to increase it is essential to consider ways of reducing their impact in terms of the use of natural resources, waste production and climate change. The increasing number of people in cities requires new strategies to supply the necessary food with limited provision of land and decreasing resources. This will become more challenging unless innovative solutions for growing and distributing food in urban environments are considered. The scale of modern food production has created and exacerbated many vulnerabilities and the feeding of cities is now infinitely more complex. As such, the food system cannot be considered secure, ethical or sustainable. In the last fe...
Acquedotti realtà e futuro
In Italia la vicenda "acquedotti", iniziata nell'antichità con opere che destano tutt'ora l'ammirazione del mondo intero, è giunta ad un punto paradossale in quanto, a fronte delle grandi possibilità offerte dalla moderna tecnica acquedottistica, presenta in realtà delle carenze gravi. Si riscontrano perdite d'acqua assolutamente inammissibili e notevoli difetti di costituzione e di esercizio degli impianti in parte dovuti ad errate concezioni di base considerate intoccabili e ad erronee indicazioni della letteratura tecnica e degli insegnamenti impartiti dall'università ai nuovi ingegneri. E' evidente la necessità della profonda revisione dell'intero sistema di distribuzione idropotab...
Savaş ve edebiyat: edebiyatın tanıklığında savaşlar ve sonrası
Bu kitap, savaş ve edebiyat arasındaki ilişkiyi, Birinci Dünya Savaşı’na odaklanmakla birlikte edebiyatın tema edindiği diğer bazı savaşları da mercek altına alarak farklı edebî gelenekler, diller ve bakış açılarının perspektifinden ele alan metinlerden oluşmaktadır. İlk yazının yazarı olan M. F. Aramacı çalışmasında ikinci kuşak Rus simgecilerin en önemli temsilcisi konumundaki Aleksandr Blok’un sanat anlayışına dair değerlendirmelerde bulunurken sanatçının XX. yüzyılın başlarında Rusya’da yaşanan tarihsel olayların simgesel bir anlatımla yansımasını bulduğu “İlahi Adalet” ve “Meçhul Kadın” adlı şiirlerine yönelik çö...
