Real Estate & the New Economy: The Impact of Information and Communications Technology By Timothy Dixon, Bob Thompson, Patrick McAllister, Andrew Marston, Jon Snow(auth.)
2005 | 429 Pages | ISBN: 1405117788 | PDF | 3 MB
Private sector commercial property represents some ?400 bn, or 34% of total UK business assets and is a vital fabric for housing commercial enterprise. Yet social and economic forces for change, linked with new technology, are making owners and occupiers question the very nature and purpose of property and real estate. Printing, steam power; canals and railroads; mass media and, more recently, information and communications technology (ICT) have brought about major changes in both organisational and economic structures over the centuries. On the one hand, there has been much hype about the role that ICT would play in eliminating the need for physical real estate space; and on the other, some have suggested that institutional factors and fixed costs mitigate against transformative change in real estate. Building on the authors' own research and a growing body of new, international findings in the field, the book provides a balanced view between these two positions. It will demonstrate how ICT affects the shape and form of real estate in our towns and cities, with other forces in the new economy.The book: examines how ICT and organisational change, combined with social, political and economic factors, affects real estate space demand analyses how real estate strategies are changing to reflect these trends shows how technology affects the geography and space of real estate and infrastructure in our towns and cities investigates future urban shape and form.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-39): Chapter 2 The Social, Economic and Political Context of ICT Transformation (pages 43-83): Chapter 3 Technological Change: Diffusion and Adoption of ICT by Consumers, Businesses and Government (pages 84-127): Chapter 4 Business Process and Organisational Change (pages 128-159): Chapter 5 The New Economy and Real Estate (pages 160-196): Chapter 6 Real Estate Spaces (pages 199-225): Chapter 7 Real Estate Use and ICT (pages 226-278): Chapter 8 Real Estate Service Providers and ICT (pages 279-328): Chapter 9 New Directions and Policy Implications: The Future of Real Estate in the New Economy (pages 331-371):

Hélène Oppenheim-Gluckman, "Reading Michael Balint: A Pragmatic Clinician"
English | 2015 | pages: 103 | ISBN: 0415713811 | PDF | 1,0 mb
Michael Balint is above all known for the "Balint Groups", which came to be a generic term for groups involved with the training of doctors and caregivers in the patient-caregiver relationship. Despite this, the origin and full import of his work has been somewhat overlooked. Hélène Oppenheim-Gluckman provides us with a concise account of how reading Balint has enriched psychoanalytic theory and its practice by broadening the indications for the psychoanalytic cure and the debate on psychotherapies and the training to the professional care-giver-patient relation.

Rawls's Law of Peoples: A Realistic Utopia? By Rex Martin, David Reidy (eds.)
2006 | 335 Pages | ISBN: 1405135301 | PDF | 2 MB
John Rawls is considered the most important theorist of justice in much of western Europe and the English-speaking world more generally. This volume examines Rawls's theory of international justice as worked out in his last and perhaps most controversial book, The Law of Peoples. It contains new and stimulating essays, some sympathetic, others critical, written by pre-eminent theorists in the field. These essays situate Rawls's The Law of Peoples historically and methodologically, and examine all its key ingredients: its thin cosmopolitanism, its doctrine of human rights, its principles of global economic justice, and its normative theory of liberal foreign policy. The book will set the terms of the debate on The Law of Peoples for years to come, thereby shaping the broader debates about global justice.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction: Reading Rawls's the Law of Peoples (pages 3-18): Rex Martin and David A.

Mark Roncace, "Raw Revelation: The Bible They Never Tell You About"
English | 2012 | pages: 242 | ISBN: 1479214183 | EPUB | 0,4 mb
The Bible is dynamic and powerful. But the Good Book isn't always good. It can be confusing, disturbing, and sometimes downright ugly. So it's been censored. It's been robbed of its beauty and truth . . . by the church. Preachers of every ilk and denomination cook the Book, boiling away the unsightly and unpalatable passages. They never tell you that God can be a misogynistic, genocidal maniac, that Jesus encourages self-castration, that the Easter stories in the four Gospels are incompatible, that Paul was wrong about Jesus' second coming, and that the Bible does not forbid abortion or premarital sex.

Jim R. Larsen, "Quick and Easy Stirling Engine"
English | 2011 | pages: 50 | ISBN: 1466277777 | EPUB | 0,9 mb
Do you know how to make a working engine from soda cans? You do now! The Quick and Easy Stirling Engine book will show you every detail you need to know. There are no difficult secrets and no expensive parts to buy. With two soda cans and a few other materials you can build a running engine in just a few hours.The engine featured in this book was designed for use in educational settings. Consulting with several educators, this engine was designed so that it could be assembled with simple hand tools by most builders in about three hours. The parts list is simple and affordable. Simple hand tools are all that is required for assembling this engine.Once assembled, the engine will spin a flywheel when the bottom is heated and ice is placed on top. This is a hot air engine design, sometimes referred to as a Stirling Engine. The engine makes motion by exercising a temperature differential. The bottom half of the engine must be warmed to about 250 degrees F, and the top of the engine must be cooled with cold water or ice. When these conditions are present, the engine will spin between 100 and 200 rpm.The primary components of this engine are soda cans, copper wire, and an old CD. The adhesive that is used for construction is readily available at hardware stores. This engine is a fun project for students, home builders, hobbyists, and anyone who wants to learn how to make their own hot air engine from soda cans.
