In 1918, Emmy Noether, in her paper Invariante Variationsprobleme,
proved two theorems (and their converses) on variational problems
that went on to revolutionise theoretical physics. 100 years later,
the mathematics of Noether's theorems continues to be generalised,
and the physical applications of her results continue to diversify.
This centenary volume brings together world-leading historians,
philosophers, physicists, and mathematicians in order to clarify
the historical context of this work, its foundational and
philosophical consequences, and its myriad physical applications.
Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and
professional researchers, this is a go-to resource for those
wishing to understand Noether's work on variational problems and
the profound applications which it finds in contemporary physics.
The growing demand for high quality office and manufacturing space in South East Asia has led to an increasing awareness of 'intelligent building' concepts. This study is based on a major research project undertaken by three leading players in the construction industry - DEGW, Northcroft and Ove Arup & Partners - which looked at user requirements and changing patterns in the workplace. The book also contains key findings from the earlier Intelligent Buildings in Europe study undertaken by DEGW and Tecknibank and provides in one volume essential information on building intelligence.

A playful and accessible guide to fermenting at home James Read is
on a mission to smuggle bacteria into our kitchens. In Of Cabbages
& Kimchi, he takes the ten greatest 'living' ferments -
fermented foods that are neither cooked nor pasteurized - and
places them under the microscope, before cooking with them in all
their delicious versatility. From the fiery funk of kimchi to the
velvet tang of kefir, James describes the microbial process, then
shares his recipes for recreating these wonders in your own kitchen
- no specialist equipment required. Alongside his recipes, James
investigates the extraordinary cultural and historic backgrounds of
fermented foods, exploring how the microbes that bring them to life
have developed alongside our culinary evolution. Featuring over
fifty recipes - including Mushroom and Sauerkraut Pierogi, Chilled
Radish Noodle Soup and Green Chilli Fermented Salsa - and packed to
the brim with Marija Tiurina's gastro-surrealist watercolour
illustrations, Of Cabbages and Kimchi will help you create,
understand and appreciate fermentation's bubbling magic.
This book was originally published in 1985. During the 1920s and
1930s, a series of housing developments was built in Europe, based
on unprecedented levels of public finance allied to innovative
policies of planning, and architectural design. How did these
developments, which were the foundation of later social housing
programmes, come into being? This study sets out to answer the
question by looking into the evolution of the movement for housing
reform in Germany and France, from the middle of the nineteenth
century until the outbreak of the First World War. This book also
examines the social and political nature of 'the housing problem',
and traces the response through a series of central themes: the
public health campaign; land reform and planning proposals; the
elaboration of architectural types; and the search for fresh means
of financing the construction of cheap housing.
It is often claimed that Einstein's magnum opus—-his 1915 theory
of General Relativity—-is distinguished from other theories of
space and time in virtue of its background independence. It's also
often claimed that background independence is an essential feature
of any quantum theory of gravity. But are these claims true? This
book aspires to offer definitive answers to both of these
questions, by (a) charting the space of possible definitions of
background independence, and (b) applying said definitions to
various classical and quantum theories of gravity. The outcome, in
brief, is as follows: General Relativity is not unique by virtue of
its background independence (and, indeed, fails to be background
independent on some popular definitions); moreover, the situation
in the case of quantum theories of gravity is delicate, because (i)
there are viable such theories which (by some accounts, at least)
fail to be background independent, but also (ii) theories (e.g.
perturbative string theory) which have often been dismissed for
(allegedly) being background dependent in fact, on many accounts,
are better classified as background independent. In giving these
answers in rigorous detail, this book seeks to elevate the
standards and generality of future discussions of background
independence in the foundations of spacetime theories.
