 Free Download Bodenmechanik und Grundbau: Das Verhalten von Böden und Fels und die wichtigsten grundbaulichen Konzepte By Hans-Jürgen Lang, Jachen Huder, Peter Amann, Alexander M. Puzrin (auth.) 2011 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 3642146864 | PDF | 9 MB Das vorliegende Buch ist bewusst kompakt gehalten und verzichtet weitgehend auf Doppelspurigkeiten und Redundanz. Die Gliederung ist übersichtlich und der Inhalt auf Anwendbarkeit angelegt, wobei Tabellen und ausgearbeitete Beispiele nützlich sind und der Kontrolle des Verständnisses des Lesers dienen sollen. Bodenmechanik wird als die Wissenschaft vom (mechanischen) Verhalten der Lockergsteine verstanden, während Grundbau die darauf beruhenden baulichen Schlussfolgerungen des Ingenieurs - und natürlich auch der Ingenieurin - subsummiert, die dem Problem angemessen erscheinen. Die Autoren vermeiden ganz bewusst jede weitere Trennung des Inhaltes in Bodenmechanik (schon gar 'theoretische Bodenmechanik' !) und Grundbau , weil eine solche Trennung weder sinnvoll noch zielführend ist, wenn es - wie in diesem Buch - um Praxis- und Anwendungs-orientierten Ausbildungskonzepte geht, die nicht nur für Studierende des Bauingenieurwesens angelegt , sondern auch in der Praxis des Tiefbaues gefragt sind. Die Autoren betrachten den Inhalt des Buches nach wie vor (und vor allem auch unabhängig von allen Veränderungen und Bezeichnungen der Studiengänge und -Abschlüsse) als die Basis, die jeder universitär gebildete Bauingenieur auf dem Gebiet Bodenmechanik/Grundbau beherrschen sollte und auf welche sich weiterführende Lehrveranstaltungen abstützen können. Da Normen wenig zum Vertändnis des Sachgebietes beitragen können, ist das Buch weitgehend 'normenfrei'. Deshalb kann das Buch in allen Ländern gebraucht werden.  Free Download Boccaccio: A Critical Guide to the Complete Works edited by Victoria Kirkham, Janet Levarie Smarr, Michael Sherberg English | January 9, 2014 | ISBN: 022607918X | True EPUB | 576 pages | 11.9 MB Long celebrated as one of "the Three Crowns" of Florence, Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-75) experimented widely with the forms of literature. His prolific and innovative writings-which range beyond the novella, from lyric to epic, from biography to mythography and geography, from pastoral and romance to invective-became powerful models for authors in Italy and across the Continent.  Free Download Bobbed Hair And Bathtub Gin: Writers Running Wild in the Twenties by Marion Meade English | May 18, 2004 | ISBN: 0385502427, 0156030594 | True EPUB | 352 pages | 3.3 MB In her exuberant work, Marion Meade presents a portrait of four extraordinary writers-Dorothy Parker, Zelda Fitzgerald, Edna St.Vincent Millay, and Edna Ferber- whose loves, lives, and literary endeavors embodied the spirit of the 1920s.  Free Download Boar Reproduction: Fundamentals and New Biotechnological Trends By M. Briz, A. Fà brega (auth.), Sergi Bonet, Isabel Casas, William V. Holt, Marc Yeste (eds.) 2013 | 632 Pages | ISBN: 3642350488 | PDF | 12 MB Latent knowledge in the field of pig reproduction is vast but scattered, making it difficult to take in all information at a glance. Moreover, nascent branches in biotechnology cannot grow if deprived of roots. The book Boar Reproduction: Fundamentals and New Biotechnological Trends links the past, the present and the emerging scientific research fields on reproductive biotechnology, offering a rigorous but easy to follow compilation of topics, from "old favorites" to the latest advances. The book is organized in three parts. The chapters of the first and second part cover various biological aspects of boar spermatozoa within the male, and within the female environments, respectively. The most common laboratory and artificial insemination techniques are discussed in the third part. As an additional feature, some chapters focus on the basis of a technology transfer to bring research expertise from basic science to the market, making the information provided in this book suitable for academic, research and other professional applications.  Free Download H. E. M. Cool, "Blue/Green Glass Bottles from Roman Britain: Square and Other Prismatic Forms " English | ISBN: 1803277432 | 2024 | 272 pages | PDF | 33 MB Square bottles came into use in the AD 60s and rapidly became the commonest glass vessel form in the empire. For the next two centuries their fragments dominate all glass assemblages. Hitherto this material has not been exploited to any great extent because there has been no close chronological framework. Blue/Green Glass Bottles from Roman Britain presents a classification scheme for the moulded base patterns which allows their chronological development to be reconstructed. With this it is possible to explore how sizes and capacities changed with time. The British data are set within the context of the bottles from the rest of the western empire, and it can be seen that different provinces favoured different base patterns in a systematic fashion. Previously it has been assumed that base patterns reflect long distance trade of the bottles and their contents. Now it can be seen that the main driving force for the distribution of bottles with similar distinctive base patterns was most probably the movements of military units, and that most bottles were made locally. An investigation of common capacities indicates that these were shared with glass bath flasks and it is proposed that, just as bath flasks were oil containers for hygiene purposes, square bottles became so common because they were the favoured vessel for household oil. The chronological trajectories of square bottles, bath flasks and the Spanish olive oil industry evidenced by Dressel 20 amphoras are identical, but previously unremarked upon.
 Free Download Blue-Collar Empire: The Untold Story of US Labor's Global Anticommunist Crusade by Jeff Schuhrke English | September 24, 2024 | ISBN: 183976905X | True EPUB | 352 pages | 0.7 MB How the CIA used American unions to undermine workers at home and subvert democracy abroad  Free Download Bloom: The Botanical Vernacular in the English Novel by Amy King English | October 23, 2003 | ISBN: 0195161513, 0195339096 | True EPUB | 288 pages | 3.8 MB Starting from the botanical crazes inspired by Linnaeus in the eighteenth century, and exploring the variations it spawned-natural history, landscape architecture, polemical battles over botany's prurience-this study offers a fresh, detailed reading of the courtship novel from Jane Austen to George Eliot and Henry James. By reanimating a cultural understanding of botany and sexuality that we have lost, it provides an entirely new and powerful account of the novel's role in scripting sexualized courtship, and illuminates how the novel and popular science together created a cultural figure, the blooming girl, that stood at the center of both fictional and scientific worlds.
 Free Download Dr. Paul Belford, "Blood, Faith and Iron: A dynasty of Catholic industrialists in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England" English | ISBN: 1789690684 | 2019 | 236 pages | PDF | 14 MB The Ironbridge Gorge is an iconic industrial landscape, presented as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and so part of a national narrative of heroic Protestant individualism. However this is not the full story. In fact this industrial landscape was created by an entrepreneurial Catholic dynasty over 200 years before the Iron Bridge was built. This book tells that story for the first time. Acquiring land at the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Brooke family invested in coal mining and iron production - and introduced a radical new method of steelmaking which transformed that industry. Drawing together years of painstaking archaeological and historical research, this book looks in detail at the landscape, buildings and industrial installations created by the Brooke dynasty between the Dissolution and the English Civil War. It also explores the broader contexts - religious, economic and political - which shaped their mind-set and their actions. It considers medieval influences on these later developments, and looks at how the Brookes' Catholicism was reflected in the way they created a new industrial landscape. In so doing it questions traditional narratives of English industrialisation, and calls for a more sophisticated understanding of this period by historical archaeologists.
