Innovative Bridge Structures Based on Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC): Theory, Experiments and Applications introduces more than a dozen innovative bridge structures and engineering applications developed by the author's team based on UHPC. As the new bridge structure developed by UHPC can make outstanding contributions to the realization of the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals" and "sustainable development," and since recent studies have shown that the application of UHPC is expected to greatly reduce the amount of materials and carbon emissions and prolong the life of the structure, this book is an ideal update on the topic. For example, after calculation, when UHPC is applied to the arch bridge with compression as the main stress characteristic, compared with the steel arch bridge, the dead weight of the UHPC arch bridge is basically the same, and the cost and carbon emission are only 34% and 20% of the latter. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as a new generation of civil structural materials has the characteristics of high strength, high toughness and high durability. Through the collaborative innovation of new materials and new structures, the application of UHPC in bridge engineering is expected to achieve the goal of economical, environmentally-friendly, durable and high performance of the main structure. - Teachers readers about the new structures and technologies in bridge engineering developed by the author's team based on UHPC - Provides relevant experimental studies and the mechanical properties of different UHPC structures - Helps users understand the design method and calculation theory of UHPC bridge structures - Covers the characteristics and advantages of new UHPC structures and technologies applied to engineering

Bridges touch all our lives - every day we are likely to cross a bridge, or go under one. How many of us stop to consider how the bridge stands up and what sort of people designed and built something so strong? Bridge building is a magnificent example of the practical and every day use of science. However, the story of bridges goes beyond science and technology, and involves issues relating to artistic and cultural development. After all, bridges are built by people, for people. Bridges can be icons for whole cities; just consider New York's Brooklyn Bridge, London's Tower Bridge, and Sydney's Harbour Bridge. Such bridges can be considered functional public art, as they have the power to delight or be an eyesore. David Blockley explains how to read a bridge, in all its different forms, design, and construction, and the way the forces flow through arches and beams. He combines the engineering of how bridges stand up with the cultural, aesthetic, and historical importance they hold. Drawing on examples of particular bridges from around the world, he also looks in detail at the risk engineers take when building bridges, and examines why things sometimes go wrong.

Transform Conflict into Cooperation: The Mediator's Path from War to Peace In a world increasingly divided by politics, race, religion, and ideology, "City of Peace: Mediation, Prosperity and Happiness” — Building bridges in a fragmented world — offers hope grounded in practical methodology. This essential guide reveals how mediation — the structured process of transforming conflict through facilitated dialogue — can move individuals, communities, and nations from the City of War to the City of Peace. Author David Hoicka, one of Singapore's Principal Mediators, draws on years of experience and powerful global examples to demonstrate that sustainable peace isn't achieved through victory over enemies but through skilled transformation of relationships. From the Christmas Truce of 1914 to modern-day community mediation programs, from post-genocide reconciliation in Rwanda to political transformation in Tunisia, this book proves that the deepest conflicts can be resolved when approached with mediation's tools. The City of War tells us that difference means danger, that someone must lose for others to win, that safety comes through domination. We see its logic everywhere: in political campaigns that demonize opponents, in communities segregated by fear, in workplaces where departments battle for resources, in families torn apart by conflict. But the City of Peace operates on different principles. Here, diversity strengthens communities. Former enemies become collaborators. Conflicts catalyze growth rather than destruction. This isn't wishful thinking — it's proven practice. "City of Peace" provides step-by-step guidance for applying mediation principles at every level of human interaction. Readers learn to create safe spaces for difficult conversations, identify shared interests beneath opposing positions, facilitate productive dialogue across deep divides, and build sustainable agreements that address all parties' core needs. The book's comprehensive approach covers mediation in political polarization, community conflicts, workplace disputes, family disagreements, and even online interactions. Special attention is given to education, showing how teaching mediation skills to children creates generations capable of handling differences constructively. Each technique is illustrated with real examples of transformation, from Belfast neighborhoods where former enemies now collaborate to American communities using participatory budgeting to replace budget battles with cooperative planning. Hoicka writes with both gravitas and accessibility, making complex mediation concepts understandable for general readers while providing depth that satisfies professionals. The book avoids academic jargon while maintaining intellectual rigor, speaking equally to world leaders and concerned citizens. "City of Peace" is organized in four parts: Foundations (understanding our fragmentation and the mediator's mindset), Building Bridges (core mediation techniques), From Vision to Reality (applying mediation at scale), and Sustaining Peace (creating cultures that handle conflict constructively). Each chapter ends with practical applications readers can implement immediately. As pollution remediation, economic inequality, and technological disruption create new sources of conflict, humanity's survival may depend on our ability to cooperate across traditional divides. "City of Peace" provides the blueprint for this essential transformation. Whether you're a leader seeking to unite divided communities or an individual wanting to handle personal conflicts better, this book offers tools that work. The journey from the City of War to the City of Peace begins with a single choice: picking up mediation's tools instead of weapons of division. This book shows you how.

To speak of being religious lucky certainly sounds odd. But then, so does “My faith holds value in God’s plan, while yours does not.” This book argues that these two concerns — with the concept of religious luck and with asymmetric or sharply differential ascriptions of religious value — are inextricably connected. It argues that religious luck attributions can profitably be studied from a number of directions, not just theological, but also social scientific and philosophical. There is a strong tendency among adherents of different faith traditions to invoke asymmetric explanations of the religious value or salvific status of the home religion vis-à-vis all others. Attributions of good/bad religious luck and exclusivist dismissal of the significance of religious disagreement are the central phenomena that the book studies. Part I lays out a taxonomy of kinds of religious luck, a taxonomy that draws upon but extends work on moral and epistemic luck. It asks: What is going on when persons, theologies, or purported revelations ascribe various kinds of religiously-relevant traits to insiders and outsiders of a faith tradition in sharply asymmetric fashion? “I am saved but you are lost”; “My religion is holy but yours is idolatrous”; “My faith tradition is true, and valued by God, but yours is false and valueless.” Part II further develops the theory introduced in Part I, pushing forward both the descriptive/explanatory and normative sides of what the author terms his inductive risk account. Firstly, the concept of inductive risk is shown to contribute to the needed field of comparative fundamentalism by suggesting new psychological markers of fundamentalist orientation. The second side of what is termed an inductive risk account is concerned with the epistemology of religious belief, but more especially with an account of the limits of reasonable religious disagreement. Problems of inductively risky modes of belief-formation problematize claims to religion-specific knowledge. But the inductive risk account does not aim to set religion apart, or to challenge the reasonableness of religious belief tout court. Rather the burden of the argument is to challenge the reasonableness of attitudes of religious exclusivism, and to demotivate the “polemical apologetics” that exclusivists practice and hope to normalize.

Snapshots and Short Notes examines the photographic postcards exchanged during the first half of the twentieth century as illustrated, first-hand accounts of American life. Almost immediately after the introduction of the generic postcard at the turn of the century, innovations in small, accessible cameras added black and white photographs to the cards. The resulting combination of image and text emerged as a communication device tantamount to social media today. Postcard messages and photographs tell the stories of ordinary lives during a time of far-reaching technological, demographic, and social changes: a family’s new combine harvester that could cut 40 acres a day; a young woman trying to find work in a man’s world; the sight of an airplane in flight. However, postcards also chronicled and shared hardship and tragedy––the glaring reality of homesteading on the High Plains, natural disasters, preparations for war, and the struggles for racial and gender equality. With a meticulous eye for detail, painstaking research, and astute commentary, Wilson surveys more than 160 photographic postcards, reproduced in full color, that provide insights into every aspect of life in a time not far removed from our own.
