The Economics of Books and Reading
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9783031181993 | 155 pages | True PDF | 6.31 MB
This book gives an overview of the key issues related to books and reading within the field of cultural economics and identifies additional lacunae in this area of research. The field of cultural economics is surprisingly short on research on the book market and on the activity of reading compared with other more recently invented media such as films and musical recordings.In addition, books and reading are strongly impacted by the disruptive innovations of digital technology and the use of online distribution platforms that fuel much of the research on the more recently invented cultural media. This book shows that the area of books and reading has had contributions in historically established areas of cultural economics and those currently exciting attention - chiefly with respect to digital disruption. Finally, it explains how books and reading are a fully developed rational addition model rather than something just based on the addition of past behaviour.

The Civil War Abroad

English | 2022 | ISBN: 1476687099 | 228 pages | True PDF EPUB | 32.59 MB
The impact of the Civil War was felt far beyond American shores. Many sites associated with the war remain in Britain and France-the two countries most affected-and traces of it can still be found in such unlikely places as Sweden and Turkey. Both Union and Confederate agents sought support overseas, aided by local sympathizers. Some Victorian Britons, despite their disdain for slavery, saw the South as an incipient nation struggling for recognition, like the Italians or the Poles, but linked to Britain by ties of blood, language and history. The sinking of the CSS Alabama by the USS Kearsarge off Cherbourg brought the war to the European coastline. Ten years after Appomattox, veterans from both North and South found themselves on the same side in the Egyptian army. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book examines the international side of the Civil War.

The Being of Negation in Post-Kantian Philosophy
by Gregory S. Moss
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031138619 | 499 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.1 MB
By drawing on the insights of diverse scholars from around the globe, this volume systematically investigates the meaning and reality of the concept of negation in Post-Kantian Philosophy-German Idealism, Early German Romanticism, and Neo-Kantianism. The reader benefits from the historical, critical, and systematic investigations contained which trace not only the significance of negation in these traditions, but also the role it has played in shaping the philosophical landscape of Post-Kantian philosophy. By drawing attention to historically neglected thinkers and traditions, and positioning the dialogue within a global and comparative context, this volume demonstrates the enduring relevance of Post-Kantian philosophy for philosophers thinking in today's global context. This text should appeal to graduate students and professors of German Idealism, Post-Kantian philosophy, comparative philosophy, German studies, and intellectual history.

The Architecture Drawing Book

A club house in a castle in the West End of London, complete with battlements and turrets, from 1882. A design for the post-war reconstruction of the City of London in 1945. A fantasy landscape featuring Le Corbusier's Capriccio of Notre-Dame du Haut in ruins. A section of a 19th-century townhouse, showing a slice of the staircase wallpaper winding from deep navy on the ground floor to pale sky blue at the top. This is a treasury of architectural drawing from the 16th century to the present day. Exploring both how and why architects draw, it offers a rich visual history from Palladio, Inigo Jones and Augustus Pugin to contemporaries such as Richard Rogers, Foster Associates and Zaha Hadid, via Sir Christopher Wren, George Gilbert Scott and Erno Goldfinger, and everything else in between. From back-of-envelope concept sketches to painstaking pen and ink perspectives, exploded axonometrics and born-digital drawings, this book celebrates the full gamut of architectural representation. With over 200 lush, full-colour reproductions, this is a window into soul of architectural drawing over the past five hundred years.

Testing and Modeling of Cellular Materials
by Derek G. Spear
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032290226 | 207 pages | True PDF | 39.7 MB
Testing and Modeling of Cellular Materials discusses the characterization of cellular lattices through quasi-static and dynamic testing for use in light-weighting or energy-absorbing applications. Covering cellular materials, specifically additively manufactured lattices, this book further progresses into dynamic testing and modeling techniques for computational simulations. It presents modeling and simulation techniques used for cellular materials and evaluates them against experimental results to illustrate the material response under various conditions. The book also includes a case study of high-velocity impact that highlights the high strain rate effects on the cellular lattices.
