: Focuses on the inspiring possibilities for modelling the built environment with all the different media and techniques available. In describing the use of different models in different contexts, this book provides a practical guide to how and why models are used, and what they are used for.
: With the increasing sophistication of CAD and other design software, there is now a wide array of means for both designing and fabricating architecture and its components. The proliferation of advanced modelling software and hardware has enabled architects and students to conceive and create designs that would be very difficult to do using more traditional methods. The use of CAD technologies in the production of physical models, prototypes and individual elements is increasingly widespread through processes such as CAD/CAM, CNC milling and rapid prototyping. This translation of computergenerated data to physical artefact can also be reversed with devices such as a digitiser, which traces the contours of physical objects directly into the computer. This book focuses on the inspiring possibilities for architecture that can be achieved with all the different technologies and techniques available for making complete designs or their components.

: This text examines the design and application of polymeric waveguides and fibers. It discusses new polymer systems designed to expand the efficiency, and the number of applications for polymer waveguides. Topics include graded-index materials, ruggedized systems and dye-doped systems, structure property relations, and new synthetic and processing techniques designed to minimize extrinsic losses.
: This authoritative, practical introduction to solution architecture is suitable for new entrants to the field but also of benefit to experienced professionals wishing to consolidate their knowledge and skills. Tools and techniques are presented in context, taking a problem or idea through logical steps to design a holistic, evidence-based solution.
: The remarkable story of former British soldier and `Chennai Six` member Nick Dunn, who was caught up in one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in the modern era.

: What might our cities look like in ten, twenty or fifty years? How may future cities face global challenges? Imagining the city of the future has long been an inspiration for many architects, artists and designers. This book examines how cities of the future have been visualised, what these projects sought to communicate and what the implications may be for us now. It provides a visual history of the future and explores the relationships between different visualisation techniques and ideologies for cities.
Thinking about what futures are, who they are for, why they are desirable, and how and when they are to be brought into being is central to this book. Through visualisation we are able to experiment in ways that would be impractical and potentially hazardous in the real world, and this book, therefore, aims to contribute toward a better understanding of the power and agency of visualisations for future cities. In this lavishly illustrated text, the authors apply several critical lenses to consider the subject in different ways: technological futures, social futures, and global futures, providing a comprehensive survey and analysis of visions for future cities, and engaging creatively with how we perceive tomorrow's world and future studies more widely.

: This book introduces the reader to the field of legal papyrology through numerous translated documents accompanied by expert but accessible scholarly commentary. Integrating Demotic and Coptic documents with those written in Greek and Latin, it will be important for scholars and advanced students of ancient history, papyrology, Egyptology, and legal and economic history.
Not your typical Sherlock Holmes adventures . . . .
Nick Dunn-Meynell's new collection, A Proof Reader's Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, contains twelve sequels - of sorts - to each of the original stories in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, which first appeared in The Strand from 1891 to 1892.Within this book, you'll find a series of conversations between Holmes and Watson, each immediately taking place at the conclusion of one of the Adventures.
These aren't typical Sherlockian pastiches - the reader won't find new investigations in the traditional manner. Rather, these stories take the inconsistencies and contradictions to be found in those original twelve Canonical Adventures and pull them apart, twist them, double back on them, and construct them into something that's sly and new and thoroughly thought-provoking.
These efforts are dense with material and are filled with Easter Eggs for the perceptive Sherlockian. The author's subtle sense of humour and affection for Holmes and Watson peeks through at every turn, and there are references in each of the individual stories that refer to the others within this collection, giving hints of a bigger narrative at play. Reading these cannot and should not be hurried. They must be pondered.
And in addition to the Sherlockian aspects, Mr. Dunn-Meynell has managed to weave references to works of art from London's National Gallery into each story, pointing out their own hidden or ignored aspects, symbols, and meanings.
There's much to enjoy and ponder about these stories. Some will catch you by surprise and make you laugh out loud, while others will leave you painfully aware of contradictions and mistakes that have been previously ignored in The Canon.
These aren't typical Holmes adventures, but they are worth the time to savour and explore. Enjoy . . . .

: A recording system based on tokens, spread throughout the Near East from the early Neolithic on, is proposed as a possible but demonstrable antecedent of the cuneiform writing system. Consisting of a rich and differentiated repertory of shapes and markings, this token system is more complex than a simple system of un differentiated counters.
