Sinceits founding by Jacques Waardenburg in 1971, Religion and
Reason has been a leading forum for contributions on theories,
theoretical issues and agendas related to the phenomenon and the
study of religion. Topics include (among others) category
formation, comparison, ethnophilosophy, hermeneutics, methodology,
myth, phenomenology, philosophy of science, scientific atheism,
structuralism, and theories of religion. From time to time the
series publishes volumes that map the state of the art and the
history of the discipline.
This volume provides the reader with the most up-to-date and
relevant knowledge on the reactivity of metals located in zeolite
materials, either in framework or extra-framework positions, and
the way it is connected with the nature of the chemical environment
provided by the host. Since the first report of the isomorphous
substitution of titanium in the framework of zeolites giving rise
to materials with unusual catalytic properties, the incorporation
of many other metals have been investigated with the aim for
developing catalysts with improved performance in different
reactions. The continuous expansion of the field, both in the
variety of metals and zeolite structures, has been accompanied by
an increasing focus on the relationship between the reactivity of
metal centers and their unique chemical environment. The concepts
covered in this volume are of interest to people working in the
field of inorganic and physical chemistry, catalysis and chemical
engineering, but also for those more interested in theoretical
approaches to chemical reactivity. In particular the volume is
useful to postgraduate students conducting research in the design,
synthesis and catalytic performance of metal-containing zeolites in
both academic and application contexts.
After the discovery of oil, the Kuwaiti State estab lished a means
of wealth distribution for its citizens through housing programs
aimed at improving standards of living. It allocated residential
neighbourhoods for Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis through the
introduction of two main architectural typologies: the apartment
and the villa. However, in response to certain economic,
sociocultural, and regulatory constraints, an unplanned hybrid
typology has recently emerged. The multiplex, specific to Kuwait
and yet not officially recognized by the state, has become the
informal expression of specific living needs that is now ubiquitous
across Kuwait. Here, for the first time, the authors of The
Multiplex Typology explore everyday life in these hybrid homes,
arguing that the one-size-fits-all housing model of the past is
both outdated and unsustainable. But this book is not merely a doc
umentation of the current state of living in Kuwait, nor a
straightforward analysis of Kuwaiti domestic architecture today. It
is also an urgent and timely call for alternative approaches to
housing that are sustainably driven, culturally rooted and
responsive to future change.
