At the Heart of the Coral Triangle Celebrating Biodiversity

At the Heart of the Coral Triangle Celebrating Biodiversity

Endlessly fascinating unpretentiously educational thoughtfully accessible and beautifully presented - Alex Tattersall award-winning underwater photographer and the founder of Underwater Visions. The Coral Triangle straddling the confluence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans harbours the greatest biodiversity of marine life on the planet. It is home to a wondrous variety including 75% of the world's coral species and around 2500 species of fish. The biological and environmental diversity is driven by the volcanically active and complex geology of the so called 'Ring of Fire'. Habitats range from underwater slopes of volcanic black sand to extensive coral reefs in atolls and vast calderas. While clearly vulnerable to increasing global threats such as climate change pollution and overfishing the Coral Triangle currently features some the richest coral reefs in the world. With stunning photography supported by an engaging and accessible text this book highlights and celebrates this biodiversity along with the underlying message that it needs our care and protection before it is too late. | At the Heart of the Coral Triangle Celebrating Biodiversity

Maintainability Maintenance and Reliability for Engineers

Maintainability Maintenance and Reliability for Engineers

The demands of the global economy require manufacturers to produce highly reliable and easily maintainable engineering products. Recent studies indicate that for many large and sophisticated products or systems maintenance and support account for as much as 60 to 75 percent of their life cycle costs. Therefore the role of maintainability maintenance and reliability has become increasingly significant. Satisfying the pressing need for a volume that addresses these subjects with an interdiscilinary approach Maintainability Maintenance and Reliability for Engineers distills knowledge specific to each discipline into one comprehensive resource. After reviewing the history of all three fields and their interrelationships the book covers mathematical concepts such as Boolean algebra laws probability properties mathematical definitions and probability distributions. It includes reliability evaluation methods such as fault tree analysis network reduction method delta-method Markov method supplementary variables method and reliabitity management both mechanical and human. Highlihting maintainibility tools and functions the author discusses topics in maintainibility management and costing including tasks during product life cycle program plan organization functions design reviews life cycle costing investment cost elements and life cycle cost estimation models. The author also includes coverage of maintenance engineering focusing on safety quality corrective and preventive maintenance. The book concludes with coverage of maintenance management costing and human errror in engineering maintenance and contains 60 illustrations 16 tables and more than 200 equations. There is a definite need to considermaintainibility maintenance and reliability during product/system design and other phases.

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German architecture prior to the modern period has received less systemic analytical study than that of Italy France and Britain. Scholarly discussion of broad traditions or continuities within Germanic or Central European façade design is even sparser. Baroque era studies of the region mostly devote themselves to isolated architects monuments or movements. Modernism's advent decisively changed this: Germanic architecture enjoyed sudden ascendancy. Yet even so study specifically of that region's façades still lagged – nothing compares to the dozens of treatments of Le Corbusier's façade systems for example and how these juxtapose with French neoclassical or Italian Renaissance methods. Given the paucity of multi-period studies one can be forgiven for believing Germany's effervescence of radical modern works seems unprecedented. This book takes up these multiple quandaries. It identifies and documents a previously unrecognized compositional tradition - characterized here as the 'screen façade' – and posits it as a counter-narrative critiquing the essentialist 'authentic' canon currently dominant in Western architectural history. By crossing evenly over the dividing line between the historical and modern periods it offers valuable insights on indigenous roots underlying some aspects of Germany's invigorating early twentieth-century architectural developments. The book chronologically examines 400 years of closely related facades concentrated in Germany but also found in Austria the Czech Republic German-speaking Switzerland and nearby areas of Central Europe. While nearly 75 buildings are mentioned and illustrated a dozen are given extensive analysis and the book focuses on the works of three architects – Schinkel Behrens and Mies. Relationships between examples of these three architects' façades far transcend mere homage amongst masters. Glimmers of the system they eventually codify are apparent as early as at Heidelberg Castle in 1559 and Nürnberg's Rathaus in 1622. The book argues that in Germany northern Gothic affinities for bisection intense repetition and rote aggregation intersected with southern Classical affinities for symmetry hierarchy and centrality thereby spawning a unique hybrid product – the screen. Instead of graphic formality this study is guided by on-site perceptions propositional contrasts means of approach interpretive conflicts and emotion and it relates the design of these façades to concepts proposed by contemporary philosophers including Novalis Hegel Nietzsche Freud Adorno and most importantly Gadamer on hermeneutics. | German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism
