“Dating back to at least 50,000 years ago, rock art is one of the oldest forms of human symbolic expression. Geographically, it spans all the continents on Earth. Scenes are common in some rock art, and recent work suggests that there are some hints of expression that looks like some of the conventions of western scenic art. In this unique volume examining the nature of scenes in rock art, researchers examine what defines a scene, what are the necessary elements of a scene, and what can the evolutionary history tell us about storytelling, sequential memory, and cognitive evolution among ancient and living cultures?”

Collettanea di saggi di grande interesse per lo studio della trasformazione del concetto di cultura visuale in ambito pre-storico. Volume utile per una ricerca in corso. Di particolare rilievo il capitolo 14 dedicato a “Maps in Prehistoric Art”.

Basata su ricerche empiriche condotte su 29 grandi complessi residenziali del dopoguerra in 15 città europee, questa raccolta esplora gli esperimenti abitativi di massa, esaminando i problemi, le risposte politiche e le esperienze quotidiane dei residenti nei complessi nel contesto del cambiamento e della rigenerazione.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Unified Mechanics Theory (UMT), providing insights into fundamental principles and practical applications across various scales of mechanical phenomena. Notably, UMT attempts to provide theoretical explanations to empirically driven important mechanical engineering concepts, thereby offering a unified framework to understand and predict mechanical behavior. Additionally, Unified Mechanics Theory can predict the degradation, aging and failure of any physical system based purely on mathematical calculations and without the need for life-span testing or curve fitting phenomenological models.

Lo-TEK è un movimento di progettazione che si basa sulla filosofia indigena e sulle infrastrutture vernacolari per generare una tecnologia sostenibile, resiliente e basata sulla natura. Approfondisce differenti paesi che non fanno parte dell’Unione Europea, dando così una visione più ampia su cosa sia l’architettura non occidentale. Inoltre cerca di trarre dalla architettura vernacolare concetti che dovrebbero far parte della progettazione volta alla sostenibilità ambientale.

This is the best selling proof writing book in the market right now. I am aware of 29 universities/institutions which have used this textbook in their classes: Sacramento State University, Sonoma State University, Soka University of America, American River College, Oglethorpe University, the University of Cleveland, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Northern Kentucky University, the University of Albany, CSU Northridge, Lee University, the University of Memphis, East Carolina University, Sarah Lawrence College, Belhaven College, the University of Scranton, Southern Methodist University, the Technical University of Munich, Lusófona University, CSU San Marcos, Michigan State, Penn State, SUNY Old Westbury, CSU Stanislaus, Bandung Institute of Technology, Chico State University, Lafayette College, Wilfrid Laurier University and Maggie Walker Governor’s School.

The main theme of this book is that “Rather than the typical definition-theorem-proof-repeat style, this text includes much more commentary, motivation and explanation.” Not only does this textbook introduce traditional proof-writing in a wonderfully clear and organized way, the text is also full of wildly amusing footnotes. This text will be great as a supplement to the very staid text assigned for very abstract mathematics that math, physics, and computer engineering students must endure.
