A new edition of a well-known and respected book. This book
provides a thorough guide for structural engineers on the use of
concrete masonry. The second edition of the Concrete Masonry
Designer's Handbook is the only handbook to provide information on
all the new CEN TC125 masonry standards, as well as detailed
guidance on design to Eurocode 6. Throughout the book, detailed
design examples are provided which will enable the designer to
develop an understanding of the correct design approach. At key
points in the book, table and design charts are provided to further
facilitate the design process.
It was a great pleasure and honour to have been invited to attend
this Seminar and to present a final impression. The association in
this field between the Chester Beatty Research Institute and Dr.
Rosenberg's School at East Lansing is something which I specially
value and many would doubtless like to know how it came about. In
the course of its work in carcinogenesis and on chemotherapy over
many years, the Chester Beatty Research Institute was frequently
drawn to the importance of many metals - as for example lead, iron,
metalloid arsenic and the metalloid quali ties of the carcinogenic
hydrocarbons. Interest started in platinum many years ago,
following the possibility, c1aimed by others, that various
complexes between the metal and mercaptopurine might possess
significant chemotherapeutic properties. Va rious attempts to
confirm such findings ended, however, in complete failure. Interest
in platinum was revived by the fresh observations of Dr. Rosenberg
and his collea gues, and here the outcome was entirely different.
Very soon it was possible to con firm the intense growth-inhibitory
properties of cis-platinum (II) diamminedi chloride and related
substances. After communicating these results to Dr. Rosenberg, it
was a pleasure to welcome hirn in London where he gave a Seminar
which greatly engaged the interest of many of the staff. Later,
several of these were to enjoy Dr. Rosenberg's hospitality at an
international conference on the subject to be held in East Lansing,
where many rapidly developing aspects were open for discussion."
Right now we are at tipping point. The Sex 2.0 lifestyle of modern
day society is undergoing a cascading failure. Don't panic, this is
a good thing. Sex 2.0 needs to die. It has served its purpose and
it's time for humanity to move onto something better. The book
details the history of human sexual relationships in the time
before property or marriage even existed, how we evolved to our
modern day Sex 2.0 lifestyle and how and why we created the
problems that make modern day sexual relationships so hard. Far
more importantly, it details a way forward to a Sex 3.0 world. A
world of mutual understanding between men and women and a return to
nature.
