Il volume rappresenta uno dei più importanti e recenti saggi dedicati all’implementazione delle policy (alla sua 4 edizione a oltre 20 anni dalla prima). Ricostruisce la storia del filone di studi sull’implementazione, e fornisce importanti indicazioni sulla ricerca di carattere sia teorico che metodologico.

Buongiorno, sono uno studente di architettura al secondo anno di magistrale. Affrontando il mio percorso di tesi mi sono imbattuto in questo libro che contiene numerosi contenuti relativi all’argomento della povertà Energetica. Essendo un tema decisamente attuale, ritengo che questo libro possa contribuire a dare informazioni essenziali per tutti gli studenti che intendono percorrere una ricerca in questo campo, specialmente nel rapporto tra architettura e consumi energetici. Inoltre, la biblioteca al momento non fornisce alcun volume riguardante tali tematiche.

The volume is of great interest for the Ph.D. candidate research and for the School of Architecture (in particular in the frame of the studies of Architectural History).
A short summary follows:
Re-forming Britain considers the nature and practice of architectural modernism in inter-war Britain in a new light. Bringing hitherto little considered protagonists and projects to the fore, it argues that rather than being an imported idiom, the new architecture in Britain formed part of an ongoing attempt to make a modern nation.

Spanning the period 1925-42, the book focuses on the key sites from and through which architectural modernism emerged in the UK. Part one considers the main arena in which a will to modernize Britain developed in the 1920s. In parts two and three the author documents, contextualizes and explains how this modernizing will was given modernist form, discussing the work of architects such as Wells Coates, Maxwell Fry, and Connell and Ward, and their allied ventures with likeminded reformers in other fields. These collaborations produced ‘narratives of modernity’: buildings, projects, exhibitions and books, through which, the book argues, modernist reformers were able to persuade politicians, and those with influence upon them, that modernism was the means to re-form the nation.

Re-forming Britain offers the first in-depth analysis of well-known modernist schemes such as Kensal House and the Pioneer Health Centre but also brings previously little studied or unknown activities to light. This important work invites a new understanding of the nature of architectural modernism in inter-war Britain and the ways in which it ultimately gave form to post-war Britain.

This is what I wish I learned from in my first year. Honestly, the third of it that is about linear algebra is one of the best linear algebra resources out there. It doesn’t pull any punches for the pure math students, but unlike many books with that target audience it stays grounded in frequent numerical examples and scientific applications. The culmination to the generalized Stokes’ theorem, as well as the way to frame Maxwell’s equations with differential forms, are particularly satisfying.

The solid state physics could be one of the most daunting topics in physics and engineering , but destined to be encountered. This book presents all of the topics in undergraduate-level solid state physics in a clear fashion, dense with explanatory or just plain entertaining footnotes, which makes it much more appropriate for beginners than the academia standard Kittel’s “Solid State Physics.” This may be the best introductory book for learning solid state physics. It is certainly the most fun to read. In addition, this book delves deep into the topics related to magnetic materials (not trivial topics as people think), which are often discussed in facile manner in Politecnico’s Physics II (Fisica II) courses.

After studying electromagnetism and fluid mechanics, maybe there are some students who possess uncanny inclination to amalgamate those two disciplines. This book might fulfill those students’ insatiable desire to “mix” disciplines and lead them to studying MHD and plasma physics, one of the fields with bright prospect. This book is intended to serve as an introductory text for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students in physics, applied mathematics and engineering. The material in the text is heavily weighted towards incompressible flows and to terrestrial (as distinct from astrophysical) applications. The final sections of the text also contain an outline of the latest advances in the metallurgical applications of MHD and so are relevant to professional researchers in applied mathematics, engineering and metallurgy.

This is the most up-to-date textbooks for studying electrical machines at an undergraduate level, written by one of the most respected author of this field, Matthew O. Sadiku. This book also provides MATLAB problems, which is essential for any engineering that deals with electricity.
