Traditional mortars are eminently workable, effectively porous, economic in use and appropriately durable. Used in buildings for thousands of years, these materials are ideal for repair and conservation work. Unlike cement or modern hydraulic lime, their routine use would make a significant contribution in the struggle against climate change. However, despite the 1975 'lime revival' there remains a deficit in research into the most-used traditional mortars. This book seeks to redress the balance. Drawing upon historic literature, material science and industry case studies, topics covered include: a historical overview of traditional mortars; slaking and mixing hot mixed lime mortars; the essentials of pozzolans, aggregates and lime tempering; plasters, lime washes and sheltercoats, and finally, the revival of interest in the use of like-for-like and compatible mortars.

A totally modern, all-purpose handbook for today's agricultural dreamers - covering the challenges and triumphs of launching any successful farm - from two leading lights in sustainable farming

This book describes the concept, characteristics, methodology, design, management, business, recent advances and future technologies of plant factories with artificial lighting (PFAL) and indoor vertical farms.The third wave of PFAL business started in around 2010 in Japan and Taiwan, and in USA and Europe it began in about 2013 after the rapid advances in LED technology. The book discusses the basic and advanced developments in recent PFALs and future smart PFALs that emerged in 2016.There is an emerging interest around the globe in smart PFAL R&D and business, which are expected to play an important role in urban agriculture in the coming decades. It is also expected that they will contribute to solving the trilemma of food, environment and natural resources with increasing urban populations and decreasing agricultural populations and arable land area.Current obstacles to successful PFAL R&D and business are: 1) no well-accepted concepts and methodology for PFAL design and management, 2) lack of understanding of the environmental effects on plant growth and development and hydroponics among engineers; 3) lack of understanding of the technical and engineering aspects of PFAL among horticulturists; 4) lack of knowledge of the technical challenges and opportunities in future PFAL businesses among business professionals, policy makers, and investors and 5) lack of a suitable textbook on the recent advances in PFAL technologies and business for graduate students and young researchers. This book covers all the aspects of successful smart PFAL R & D and business.

"Vi trænger til regn" indledes, da klokkerne ringede freden ind den 5. maj 1945 - afslutningen på anden verdenskrig.Men det var langt fra afslutningen på bøndernes kritiske situation. Roman skildrer på realistisk og nærværende vis bøndernes kamp med den økonomiske landbrugskrise, der førte til politiske forvirringer og forskydninger.Niels Anesen (1896 – 1967) var en dansk forfatter og digter. Han debuterede i 1929 med digtsamlingen "Poemets magt". Samme år drog han på en længere rejse til Canada og USA, Mexico, Frankrig, Holland, Belgien og Tyskland. Som søn af en husmand optog almuens levevilkår Niels Anesen meget, og en stor del af hans litterære værker beskæftiger sig med netop med bøndernes hårde liv, hvilket blandt andet kan ses i hans romandebut "Blod og Staal" fra 1931. En anden vigtig inspirationskilde for Niels Anesen var hans udenlandsrejser. I "Manden fra Floden" fra 1953 beskriver han tiden i USA, som stadig sad i ham selv mange år efter. Niels Anesens forfatterskab bar præg af en særlig jordnærhed og omtanke for de menneskeskæbner, han mødte på sin vej.

Having worked on projects around the world, strengthening and restoring historically significant structures from Windsor Castle to the parliament buildings in Canada, Peter James brings insight to the structural engineering of ancient Egypt. After fourteen years working on the historic buildings and temples of Egypt, and most recently the world's oldest pyramid, he now presents some of the more common theories surrounding the 'collapsing' pyramid - along with new and innovative projections on the construction of the pyramids and the restoration of some of Cairo's most monumental structures from the brink of ruin. The decoding of historic construction from a builder's perspective is examined and explained - at times against many existing theories - and the book provides a new outlook on long-held assumptions, to embrace modern theories in a bid to preserve the past.
