Aeroform

Aeroform
Aeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement provides a comprehensive introduction to applying aerodynamic principles to architectural design. It presents a challenge to architects and architectural engineers to give shape to the wind and express its influence on architectural form. The wind pushes and pulls on our buildings, infiltrates and exfiltrates through cracks and openings, and lifts roofs during storm events. It can also offer opportunities for resource conservation through natural ventilation or a biophilic connection between indoors and out. This book provides basic concepts in fluid mechanics such as materials, forces, equilibrium, pressure, and hydrostatics; introduces the reader to the concept of airflow; and provides strategies for designing for wind resistance, especially in preventing uplift. Natural ventilation and forced airflow are explored using examples such as Thomas Herzog’s Hall 26 in Hanover, RWE Ag building in Essen Germany, and the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas. Finally, issues of wind and airflow measurement are addressed. A reference for students and practitioners of architecture and architectural engineering, this book is richly illustrated and presents complex concepts of aerodynamic engineering in easy-to-understand language. It prepares the architect or architectural engineer to design buildings that are visually expressive of a dialogue between wind and built form.

If you can count to four...
Anyone who will, in the spirit of humility and sincere desire, study and learn how to use the ideas contained in this book, can enjoy a full measure of happiness, health and prosperity according to his individuality. There is an infinite abundance in this universe. Not only is there an infinite abundance of happiness, faith, love, courage, joy, humility, wisdom, generosity, peace, gentleness, meekness, patience, kindness, and all such qualities one could ever desire to express habitually, but there is an infinite abundance of every material thing that one could ever desire to have in order to express his individuality. The reason that so many people do not have the above in abundance is not because there is any shortage, it is simply because they are not aware of how to push the right button of appropriation. All things that one desires are available to one who understands the "Laws of Appropriation." In other words, there is a simple set of rules by which all things are obtained, which anyone who really wants to learn them can learn and then be whatever he wants to be and have whatever he wants to have.

Are You Tired of Driving People You Love Away & Never Achieving the Professional Success You Deserve? This Guide is for You! Do you feel like no matter how smart you are, your efforts are still not enough to get you that promotion? Have you been constantly told by your partner that you’re inconsiderate and selfish? Are you having a hard time relating to others? There’s a question we’ve been constantly asked: Are book smart or street smart? As children, we were taught to value our IQs more than our EQs. In fact, we never really paid too much attention to our EQs before new research came to light. Experts believe that IQ may not be a great determinant of how well people fare in life. They stand to argue that standard measures of intelligence, such as IQ scores, do not embrace the full range of human intelligence. Human intelligence cannot be generalized into just one single ability. In fact, people have different degrees of intelligence. Our ability to grasp and communicate our emotions plays a more important role in how successful we are. Factors like emotion regulation, self-awareness, empathy, motivation, and social skills all play a role in our ability to thrive. These are key to achieve goals and realize our full potential, both professionally and personally. So, if you find that you’re great at crunching numbers and memorizing information but fail in relating to and empathizing with others… it’s not your fault! And you can do something about it! In “Emotional Intelligence,” you will get easy-to-follow steps to becoming a high-EQ person.

The Thin Red Line
With “shattering prose,” the New York Times–bestselling author of From Here to Eternity captures the intense combat in the battle of Guadalcanal (San Francisco Chronicle). In August of 1942 the first American marines charged Guadalcanal, igniting a six-month battle for two thousand square miles of jungle and sand. In that gruesome stretch sixty thousand Americans made the jump from boat to beach, and one in nine did not return. James Jones fought in that battle, and The Thin Red Line is his haunting portrait of men and war. The soldiers of C-for-Charlie Company are not cast from the heroic mold. The unit’s captain is too intelligent and sensitive for the job, his first sergeant is half mad, and the enlisted men begin the campaign gripped by cowardice. Jones’s moving portrayal of the Pacific combat experience stands among the great literature of World War II. This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author’s estate.
