The essential Guide to Construction Management & Building Engineering

By: John Michael Kirby,Enrique David Llácer

“This book looks to cover the differences the new professional will encounter as he takes on his new position overseas”. The book not only covers the basic technical translations of the items likely to be encountered during your work, but also covers what I would call the “unspoken word” These are cultural differences, such as technical phrases, modern work concepts terminology, standard practices. The book takes the student through all stages of construction and explains in detail the principal phases that the student is expected to understand & know in the new Hi tech and fast changing environment. It will be a good reference book which will enable the student to rapidly adapt to their new environment by helping them understand the basic principles, working practices, descriptions etc which some countries will take for granted. A great aid for the aspiring foreign professional, I only wish it was available when I first came to Spain some 23 years ago! Peter Wilkey FCIOB CIOB Ambassador for Spain & Gibraltar … Este excelente libro es una guía fundamental para los arquitectos españoles u otros profesionales que quieran conocer o desarrollar su labor en un entorno anglosajón… Luis M. Sendra Mengual, Presidente (CTAV) Colegio Territorial de Arquitectos de Valencia … La vocación de internacionalización se ha convertido ahora en una exigencia que debemos atender… este libro es un importante primer paso… Rafael Sánchez Grandía, Director ESTIE UPV … Una herramienta útil y una guía eficaz para el profesional de la construcción… José Ramón Roca Rivera, Presidente del Colegio de Aparejadores, Arquitectos Técnicos e Ingenieros de Edificación de Valencia.

The Chemistry of Medical and Dental Materials

By: John W. Nicholson

Implants into the human body, such as hip joints, heart valves and dental crowns, have been increasingly used over the last 40 years or so, and many patients have benefited from their use. But how much is known about the metals, ceramics and polymers that are used in these repairs? This book provides a state-of-the-art account of the chemistry of the synthetic materials used in medicine and dentistry. It looks at the properties and interactions of these materials within the body at a molecular level, and includes discussion of bioengineering and cell biology. In addition, there is an account of the surgical procedures used, as well as extensive coverage of the possible biological reactions to the presence of foreign materials in the body. A brief look at the emerging field of tissue engineering completes the text. Fully referenced, with detailed reviews of the current literature, The Chemistry of Medical and Dental Materials will be an essential starting-point for all those in academia and industry who are involved in the development of new and improved repair materials.

Colour of Metal Compounds

By: Adam Bartecki,John Burgess,Krzysztof Kurzak

The Colour of Metal Compounds is devoted to the qualitative and quantitative treatment of colour in inorganic and coordination compounds. In order to understand the use of colour as a source of structural and analytical information, the book explains in depth the interrelation between colour and structural properties of compounds. Trichromatic colorimetry is introduced as a method for the quantitative evaluation of colour. Further chapters cover chromaticity and spectroscopy, lanthanides, colour centres, colour in mineralogy, pigments, coloured glass, and the colour use in teaching. Fully revised from the original Polish edition, this book is recommended as a supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate level courses on transition metal chemistry, coordination chemistry, spectroscopy and colour chemistry. It will also be of interest to researchers in chemistry, physics, mineralogy and the pigment and glass industry.

Treasuries of France, and other sources. The works of Limoges were created for important ecclesiastical and royal patrons. The wealth of enameling preserved from the Treasury of the abbey of Grandmont, just outside Limoges, is due chiefly to the Plantagenet patronage of Henry II and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Enamels created during their reign resonate with the elegant style of the court, and the dramatic history of Henry's monarchy is evoked by such works as the.

The Buried Past

An Archaeological History of Philadelphia

By: John L. Cotter,Daniel G. Roberts,Michael Parrington

The Buried Past presents the most significant archaeological discoveries made in one of America's most historic cities. Based on more than thirty years of intensive archaeological investigations in the greater Philadelphia area, this study contains the first record of many nationally important sites linking archaeological evidence to historical documentation, including Interdependence and Valley Forge National Historical Parks. It provides an archaeological tour through the houses and life-ways of both the great figures and the common people. It reveals how people dined, what vessels and dishes they used, and what their trinkets (and secret sins) were.
