The Making of Things is about effect and intention in the schematic
architectural model, a deep dive into the nature of architectonic
form as the underlying syntax for all architectural work. By
focusing on primitive geometries alongside fundamental principles
of architectural thinking and making, this book enhances the
reader's capacity to intellectually and physically craft models
that effectively communicate intention. With over 650 diagrams,
this book acts as an expansive visual glossary that reveals the
underlying structure of architectonics and acts as an encyclopedia
of formal possibilities. Supporting essays in the book explore the
nature of perception, abstraction, and metaphor to provide a
theoretical basis of formal effects in architecture. This structure
enables readers to make clear and direct connections between the
things you construct and the reasons you construct them. This book
is a bridge from the what to the why of form-making. It is a
pedagogical notebook, a design primer that prompts discourse about
the nature of objects. This is a must-have desk reference for
beginning architecture and interior design students to stimulate
their creative approaches and gain foundational knowledge of the
underlying effects of formal typologies and how they manifest
themselves in built forms around the world.

This volume explores options for a sustainable maritime domain,
including maritime transportation, such as, Maritime Spatial
Planning (MSP), maritime education and training, maritime traffic
and advisory systems, maritime security. Other activities in the
maritime domain covered in the book include small-scale fisheries
and sustainable fisheries, and greening the blue economy. The book
aims to provide the building blocks needed for a framework for good
ocean governance; a framework that will serve through the next
decade and, and hopefully, well beyond the 2030 milepost of the UN
Agenda for Sustainable Development. In short, this book brings
together the problems of the current world and sustainable
solutions that are in the development process and will eventually
materialize in the not so distant future. Additionally, the book
presents a trans-disciplinary analysis of integral sustainable
maritime transportation solutions and crucial issues relevant to
good ocean governance that have recently been discussed at
different national, regional and international fora, highlighting
ongoing work to develop and support governance systems that
facilitate industry requirements, and meet the needs of coastal
states and indigenous peoples, of researchers, of spatial planners,
and of other sectors dependent on the oceans. The book will be of
interest to researchers across many disciplines, especially those
that are engaged in cross-sectoral research and developments in the
maritime transport sector and across the wider maritime domain. To
this end, the book covers areas including natural and social
sciences, geographical studies, spatial planning, maritime security
and gender studies, as they relate to transport and the wider
maritime sector. In addition, the book explores frameworks for
sustainable ocean governance being developed under the UN's Agenda
for Sustainable Development to 2030. It will also look beyond the
2030 milepost under that Agenda, and will be of use to national and
international policymakers and practitioners, government actors at
the EU and other regional and national levels and to researchers of
ocean governance, sustainability and management, and maritime
transport.

This volume offers a review of oil inputs to the Mediterranean Sea
from sources such as shipping, and offshore exploration and
exploitation activities. It discusses international measures to
prepare for, respond to, and prevent oil pollution incidents, as
well as the international legal framework and agencies with a role
in pollution prevention and responses. It includes chapters on
modeling the fate of oil pollution, oil spill response, and oil
spill beaching probability, and presents data from a range of
sources, including historic data on shipping accidents and oil
exploration and exploitation activities, satellite and remote
sensing data, and numerical modelling data, to provide an overview
of oil pollution over several years. Topics covered include
modelling of oil slicks in the eastern and western Mediterranean
basins, oil exploration and exploitation activities in the waters
of the Levantine Basin (Eastern Mediterranean), and signatures to
and ratification of the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols, for
example. Together with the companion volume Oil Pollution in the
Mediterranean Sea: Part II - National Case Studies, it addresses
both national and international measures in the region, making it
of relevance to the agencies and government bodies tasked with
remediating or preventing oil pollution, as well as policymakers
and practitioners in the fields of shipping, ports and terminals,
oil extraction and marine management. It provides researchers with
essential reference material on tools and techniques for monitoring
oil pollution, and serves as a valuable resource for undergraduate
and postgraduate students in the field of marine oil pollution.
This volume offers a review of measures taken at different levels
to prevent oil inputs to the North Sea from sources such as
shipping and oil installations. A range of data from satellites,
remote sensing, aerial surveillance, in-situ monitoring, oil spill
sampling and beached bird surveys presents a comprehensive portrait
of trends in oil pollution over many years. Topics include Bonn
Agreement-based actions to eliminate illegal and accidental
pollution from ships, OSPAR monitoring of oil installations, EMSA
CleanSeaNet activities, and an internationally approved common
standard for oil spills presented by the Bonn-OSINet. A chapter on
the role of the IMO in preventing oil pollution from ships provides
an international context, while others discuss efforts being made
at the national level. A decadal review of the state of the North
Sea prepared by OSPAR supports the view that there has been a
significant reduction of oil inputs to the sea. This thorough
review addresses national and international agencies and government
bodies, as well as policymakers and practitioners in the fields of
shipping, ports and terminals, oil extraction and marine
management. Further, it provides researchers with essential
reference material on tools and techniques for monitoring oil
pollution and offers a valuable resource for undergraduate and
post-graduate students in the field of marine oil pollution.
This volume reviews the oil inputs to the Mediterranean Sea from

This volume offers an interdisciplinary study of Reformed
sanctification and human development, providing the foundation for
a constructive account of Christian moral formation that is
attentive both to divine grace and to the significance of natural,
embodied processes. Angela Carpenter's argument also addresses the
impressions that such theologies give; namely either solitude in
the face of adversity, or sheer passivity. Through careful
examination of the doctrine of sanctification in three Reformed
theologians - John Calvin, John Owen and Horace Bushnell-Carpenter
argues that human responsiveness in the context of fellowship with
the triune God provides a basic framework for a theological account
of moral transformation. Her relational approach brings together
divine and human agency in a dynamic process where both are
indispensable. Supplying an account of moral formation located
within Christian salvation, while also being attentive to embodied
human nature and the sciences, this book is vital to all those
interested in spiritual formation and the human capacity for love.
If Universal Grammar (UG) can aid adult second language acquisition
an important question arises: are linguistic principles that are
not active in the native language also accessible to second
language learners? This question of adult accessibility to UG is
addressed by investigating whether a specific phonological
principle that does not exist in the subjects' native language is
accessible to adult learners. Artificial languages were constructed
to compare the acquisition of a stress system that follows a
natural phonological principle with one that is almost identical to
the same principle, but differs in one feature, thus making it an
"unnatural" system. If second language learners have access to
innate universal linguistic principles they should be better able
to learn the natural rule over the unnatural one. The positive
results lend support to the idea of adult second language learners
having access to UG. This book should be of interest to educators
and researchers in the fields of artificial language learning,
second language acquisition and phonological stress or those with a
general interest in laboratory phonology.
