Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Résumé des cheminots : En ce XIXe siècle naissant, des milliers d'hommes se lèvent au nom d'un grand projet industriel. Les passionnés de chemin de fer actuels ont tendance à l'oublier car pour eux, l'histoire ferroviaire s'arrête le plus souvent à la locomotive à vapeur et son chauffeur. Pourtant, l'héroïne mécanique de cet opéra ne peut entrer en scène que si chacun a joué sa partition avec exactitude : bâtisseurs et ingénieurs, constructeur de lignes et de matériel roulant, artisans et ouvriers, chefs de gare et gardes-barrières, aiguilleurs et gardes-voies, télégraphistes et contrôleurs... Ce livre, déjà publié sous le titre Le monde des cheminots, rend hommage aux cheminots par sa grande richesse iconographique et par une description très précise de cet univers. Résumé de l'âge d'or des trains à vapeur : Les locomotives à vapeur ont fasciné trois générations par leur beauté, leur puissance majestueuse, et le cinéma a su immortaliser ces " bêtes humaines " en leur consacrant les plus belles scènes des plus grands films. Des rapides Pacific pour grands trains de voyageurs, aux puissantes Consolidation ou Décapod pour les trains de marchandises lourds, jusqu'aux modestes locomotives-tender pour trains de banlieue ou pour lignes secondaires, pratiquement tous les types français du XXe siècle sont décrits dans ce livre. Déjà publié sous le titre L'âge d'or de la traction vapeur en France (1900/1950). cet ouvrage retrace l'épopée particulière de la locomotive à vapeur des années 1900 à 1950.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les locomotives à vapeur ont fasciné trois générations par leur beauté, leur puissance majestueuse, et le cinéma a su immortaliser ces " bêtes humaines " en leur consacrant les plus belles scènes des plus grands films. Des rapides Pacific pour grands trains de voyageurs, aux puissantes Consolidation ou Décapod pour les trains de marchandises lourds, jusqu'aux modestes locomotives-tender pour trains de banlieue ou pour lignes secondaires, pratiquement tous les types français du XXe siècle sont décrits dans ce livre. Abondamment illustré de photographies d'époque, de planches couleurs, de plans, de documents techniques souvent rares, ce livre, déjà publié sous le titre L'Âge d'or de la traction vapeur en France (1900-1950), retrace l'épopée particulière de la locomotive à vapeur des années 1900 à 1950. Ces années sont celles de leur apogée car jamais on ne leur a tant demandé en ce temps de lutte pour un chemin de fer alors victime de la concurrence de l'automobile, et de l'enchérissement du prix mondial du charbon. Roulant de plus en plus vite, remorquant des trains de plus en plus lourds, elles excellent à tous points de vue, et la traction électrique et diesel, appelées à les remplacer car utilisant une énergie moins chère, auront beaucoup à faire pour mettre fin à un règne brillant qui semblait éternel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 20 years after writing The Technological Society, Jacques Ellul realized how the totalistic dimensions of our modern technological milieu required an additional treatment of the topic. Writing amidst the rise of books in the 1970s on pollution, over-population, and environmental degradation, Ellul found it necessary, once again, to write about the global presence of technology and its far-reaching effects. The Technological System represents a new stage in Ellul’s research. Previously he studied technological society as such; in this book he approaches the topic from a systems perspective wherein he identifies the characteristics of technological phenomena and technological progress in light of system theory. This leads to an entirely new approach to what constitutes the most important event of our society which has decisive bearing on the future of our world. Ellul’s analysis touches on all aspects of modern life, not just those of a scientific or technological order. In the end, readers are compelled to formulate their own opinions and make their own decisions regarding the way a technique-based value system affects every level of human life.

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It was the best oftimes. It was the worst oftimes. " The famous open ing sentence ofCharles Dickens' Tale oJ Two Cities can serve as a motto to characterize the mixture of optimism and pessimism with which a large number of nineteenth-century intellectuals viewed the con dition of their age. It is nowadays hardly necessary to accentuate the optimistic elements in the nineteenth-century view of history; many recent historians have sharply contrasted the complacency and the great expectations of the past century with the fears and anxieties rampant in our own age. It is often too readily assumed that a hundred years ago all leading thinkers as weil as the educated public were addicted to the cult of progress and ignored or minimized those trends of their times that paved the way for the catastrophes of the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century the intoxicating triumphs of modern science undeniably induced the general public to believe that pro gress was not an accident but a necessity and that evil and immo rality would gradually disappear. Yet fears, misgivings, and anxieties were not as exceptional in the nineteenth century as is often imagined. Such feelings were not restricted to a few dissenting philosophers and poets like Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, 'Dostoevsky, Baudelaire, and Nietzsche.

Download or read book Assigning Responsibility for Children’s Health When Parents and Authorities Disagree: Whose Child? written by Allan J. Jacobs and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the potential conflict between a government’s duty to protect children and a parent(s)’ right to raise children in a manner they see fit. Using philosophical, bioethical, and legal analysis, the author engages with key scholars in pediatric decision-making and individual and religious rights theory. Going beyond the parent-child dyad, the author is deeply concerned both with the inteests of the broader society and with the appropriate limits of government interference in the private sphere. The text offers a balance of individual and population interests, maximizing liberty but safeguarding against harm. Bioethics and law professors will therefore be able to use this text for both a foundational overview as well as specific, subject-level analysis. Clinicians such as pediatricians and gynecologists, as well as policy-makers can use this text to achieve balance between these often competing claims. The book is written by a physician with practical and theoretical knowledge of the subject, and deep sympathy for the parental and family perspectives. As such, the book proposes a new way of evaluating parental and state interventions in children's’ healthcare: a refreshing approach and a useful addition to the literature.

This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traversing landscapes and expediting travel, railroads have allowed us to conquer once elusive frontiers to improve both transportation and commerce. Railroad design has changed remarkably little in the years since the invention of the steam engine, yet trains remain a prevalent form of transport and the railways. The bridges that have been developed to support them continue to be a vital part of infrastructures in countries around the world. This engaging volume examines the evolution of railways, railcars, and bridges, as well as the lives of pioneers and tycoons in the railroad business.
