A History of Cast Iron in Architecture

A History of Cast Iron in Architecture

Originally published in 1948 A History of Cast Iron in Architecture is a comprehensive history of the part that has been played by cast iron in architecture and the allied arts in Britain. Any history of the rise and development of the iron-founding industry becomes virtually a history of the First Industrial Revolution. Examining the use of cast iron by builders and architects from late medieval times to the middle of the 20th Century the authors have also recorded a miniature history of British Industry. The introduction throws light on the early developments of iron-founding. The main sections of the book describe the rise and expansion of the cast-iron industry and its gradually increasing significance in architecture from 1650 to 1945. There are over 500 illustrations.

Agglomeration of Iron Ores

Agglomeration of Iron Ores

This book focuses on agglomeration or the size enlargement process of iron ores. This process sits at the interface of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. The book begins with a discussion of raw materials preparation and the beneficiation process. It then describes fundamental principles of the sintering and pelletization processes including formation of green mix through granulation and green balls as well as chemical reactions during sintering. Finally it offers a brief description of iron making processes and correlations related to the agglomerates: quality parameters and BF productivity and coke rate. | Agglomeration of Iron Ores

The Iron Age in Northern Britain Britons and Romans Natives and Settlers

The Iron Age in Northern Britain Britons and Romans Natives and Settlers

The Iron Age in Northern Britain examines the archaeological evidence for earlier Iron Age communities from the southern Pennines to the Northern and Western Isles and the impact of Roman expansion on local populations through to the emergence of historically-recorded communities in the post-Roman period. The text has been comprehensively revised and expanded to include new discoveries and to take account of advanced techniques with many new and updated illustrations. The volume presents a comprehensive picture of the ‘long Iron Age’ allowing readers to appreciate how perceptions of Iron Age societies have changed significantly in recent years. New material in this second edition also addresses the key issues of social reconstruction gender and identity as well as assessing the impact of developer-funded archaeology on the discipline. Drawing on recent excavation and research and interpreting evidence from key studies across Scotland and northern England The Iron Age in Northern Britain continues to be an accessible and authoritative study of later prehistory in the region. | The Iron Age in Northern Britain Britons and Romans Natives and Settlers

Project Success and Quality Balancing the Iron Triangle

Project Success and Quality Balancing the Iron Triangle

Projects are inherently risky since they involve some level of uncertainty doing something new in the target environment but the percentage of projects seen as a success is still disappointingly low especially for IT projects. The ‘Iron Triangle’ of time/cost/quality suggests that all three aspects are equal but with quantitative methods for monitoring project performance the focus is primarily on managing cost and time. This book seeks to redress the balance explaining the rationale and benefits of focusing more on quality (fitness for purpose and conformance to requirements) before detailing a range of tools and techniques to support rebalancing the management of projects programmes and portfolios. It shows how managing project quality actively can reduce costs through minimising wastage and reduce delays through avoiding rework leading to improved project success rates and customer satisfaction. | Project Success and Quality Balancing the Iron Triangle

Iron Shipbuilding on the Thames 1832–1915 An Economic and Business History

Iron Shipbuilding on the Thames 1832–1915 An Economic and Business History

This title was first published in 2000. 'Little better documented than King Arthur or Robin Hood' complained one historian in 1998 describing the lack of information on Thames shipbuilding. This study of iron shipbuilding on the capital's river fills this noticeable gap. A. J. Arnold examines the initial domination of the iron shipbuilding trade by Thames firms from the launch of the first iron vessel on the river in 1832 to the end of serious Thames-side shipbuilding in 1915. For the first time the factors that caused the industry's demise are explored fully together with an analysis of the effect it had on its locality. Extending existing series of data the book includes information on annual shipbuilding tonnage and the number of vessels constructed and further looks at tonnage built for foreign citizens companies and navies and for the British Admirality. This broader and deeper statistical survey is supplemented with less systematic documentation such as memorabilia and business records to arrive at the most complete picture yet of a once pre-eminent British industry. A. J. Arnold is Professor of Accounting and Business History at the University of Essex. | Iron Shipbuilding on the Thames 1832–1915 An Economic and Business History

Die Cast Engineering A Hydraulic Thermal and Mechanical Process

Die Cast Engineering A Hydraulic Thermal and Mechanical Process

A frequently misunderstood technology die casting is considered the shortest route between raw material and near net shape. For many decades high pressure die casting was viewed as an art based upon seat of the pant strategies. However many of these crude reactions actually worked because the fundamental process is quite forgiving of eccentricities. Exploring these reactions with scientific logic Die Casting Engineering presents a broad study of each procedure in the die casting process and clearly outlines its basic science and principles. This guide is written in a reader-friendly and logical format by an experienced authority in quality and productivity enhancement tooling design metal feed system analysis temperature management and environmental regulation. While its scope is broad and covers the many facets of die casting the book's main focus is on function problem identification and solution and strategic logic. Generously illustrated it provides a comprehensive explanation of why high pressure die casting is reliable predictable and teachable. | Die Cast Engineering A Hydraulic Thermal and Mechanical Process

Ancestor Worship and the Elite in Late Iron Age Scandinavia A Grave Matter

Ancestor Worship and the Elite in Late Iron Age Scandinavia A Grave Matter

Ancestor worship is often assumed by contemporary European audiences to be an outdated and primitive tradition with little relevance to our societies past and present. This book questions that assumption and seeks to determine whether ancestor ideology was an integral part of religion in Viking Age and early medieval Scandinavia. The concept is examined from a broad socio-anthropological perspective which is used to structure a set of case studies which analyse the cults of specific individuals in Old Norse literature. The situation of gods in Old Norse religion has been almost exclusively addressed in isolation from these socio-anthropological perspectives. The public gravemound cults of deceased rulers are discussed conventionally as cases of sacral kingship and more recently religious ruler ideology; both are seen as having divine associations in Old Norse scholarship. Building on the anthropological framework this study introduces the concept of ‘superior ancestors’ employed in social anthropology to denote a form of political ancestor worship used to regulate social structure deliberately. It suggests that Old Norse ruler ideology was based on conventional and widely recognised religious practices revolving around kinship and ancestors and that the gods were perceived as human ancestors belonging to elite families. | Ancestor Worship and the Elite in Late Iron Age Scandinavia A Grave Matter

New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

When technology has been applied in business environments its justification has usually been cast in terms of saving time or saving money. In the social sciences the justification must be different; the viability of sociology as a profession for example will not be enhanced by cost reductions. The focus in this volume is on a different bottom line: the quality and content of work. | New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

The French Economy Theory And Policy

The French Economy Theory And Policy

This volume brings together the proceedings of a conference held at the Institut Europeen d' Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) at Fontainebleau on July 5 6 and 7 1982. Summer conferences abound in the Paris region. That it was possible to attract an imposing international cast of economists within walking distance of the historic castle of Fontainebleau and one hour away from central Paris by car during the month of July is nothing especially surprising. But in this case there was a particular motivation for choosing the French site. | The French Economy Theory And Policy

Ancient Britain

Ancient Britain

This book is for anyone starting out to understand the prehistoric life of Britain from the first human occupation 450 000 years ago until the Roman conquest in AD 43. James Dyer here succeeds in bringing to life a thriving picture of the people and customs of the Stone Bronze and Iron Ages based on the sometimes sparse clues presented by prehistoric archaeological sites across Britain. For many readers Ancient Britain will provide the first chance to get to grips with the present state of our knowledge of prehistoric agriculture settlement trade and ritual. The rise of power with the development of a class system at the hands of the first metal users is charted through to the growth of wealth and the emergence of a warlike and advanced Iron Age society - a society that was nonetheless unable to withstand the might of Rome. With over 130 illustrations and photographs including a number of specially drawn reconstructions this highly visual book is an ideal primer for all students of prehistory and all those who are simply interested in the subject.

Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share

Who has what and why in our societies is a pressing issue that has prompted explanation and exposition by philosophers politicians and jurists for as long as societies and intellectuals have existed. It is a primary issue for a society to tackle this and these answers have been diverse. This collection of essays approaches some of these questions and answers to shed light on neglected approaches to issues of distribution and how these issues have been dealt with historically socially conceptually and practically. The volume moves away from the more dominating and traditionally cast understandings of distributive justice and shows novel and unique ways to approach distributive issues and how these can help enlighten our course of action and thought today by creating new pathways of understanding. The editors and contributors challenge readers by exploring the role and importance of restorative justice within distributive justice exploring the long shadow of practices of trusteeship and concepts of social and individual rights and obligations in welfare and economic systems social protection/provision schemes egalitarian practices and post-colonial African political thought. Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought empowers the reader to cast a more critical and historically complete light on the idea of a fair share and the implications it has on societies and the individuals who comprise them. | Distributive Justice Debates in Political and Social Thought Perspectives on Finding a Fair Share
