Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Field BetweenJonathan Vale Some lives are built twice-once out of fear, and once out of love.After a marriage forged in duty and silence, Ethan Rivers returns to the coastal town he swore he'd left behind. The house is weathered, the land half-wild, and the family he fled still measures love in expectations. He comes back to fix what can be mended-fences, memories, maybe even himself.Then he meets Noah Bennett, a man whose kindness runs deeper than words. Where Ethan learned survival through obedience, Noah lives by patience and quiet certainty. Together they begin to rebuild a life from the wreckage of past choices, discovering that love isn't something owed or earned-it's something worked for, the way a field learns to grow again after years of neglect.Set against the shifting seasons of a small New England harbor, The Field Between follows two men as they navigate the long work of forgiveness: of family, of love, of themselves. Through storms and silences, through losses that refuse to stay buried, Ethan and Noah learn that the real act of living is not starting over-it's staying.Told in lyrical prose and grounded in the textures of rural life-salt air, damp earth, the hum of labor-The Field Between is a story about endurance, intimacy, and the quiet redemption found in ordinary acts of care. It's about what grows after survival, and how we come to recognize home not as a place, but as the work of two hands willing to keep building. This item is printed on demand.

Hardback. Condition: New. A multidisciplinary analysis of how state capture unfolded in South Africa and was contested within both civil society and the state itself. It presents a scholarly and empirical understanding of how things went awry, even with various regulating bodies in place, and how to prevent state capture from happening again in the future. The metaphor of 'state capture' has dominated South Africa's political discourse in the post-Zuma presidency era. What is state capture and how does it manifest? Is it just another example of a newly independent, failed African state? And is it unique to South Africa? The contributors in this collection try to explain the phenomenon from a variety of viewpoints and disciplines. All hold fast to the belief that the democracy that promised the country so much when apartheid ended has been significantly eroded, resulting in most citizens expressing a loss of hope for the future. Read together, the essays cumulatively show not only how state capture was enabled and who benefitted, but also how and by whom it was scrutinised and exposed in order to hold those in power accountable. The book aims to present a scholarly and empirical understanding of how things went awry, even with various regulating bodies in place, and how to prevent state capture from happening again in the future.…

paperback. Sonhos em série: arquitetura e pré-fabricação nas margens do capitalismo é uma coleção de ensaios que investiga a pré-fabricação desde o pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial, período em que essa abordagem ganhou imensa visibilidade. Naquela época, o discurso da pré-fabricação prometia resolver o problema habitacional "em todos os mundos": nos países centrais, no bloco soviético e nos países subdesenvolvidos. O livro originou-se de uma feliz coincidência. Jonathan Charley e Clécio Magalhães haviam se juntado ao Grupo de Pesquisa MOM um como professor visitante; o outro como pós-doutorando , ao mesmo tempo em que Sergio Ekerman e José Baravelli estavam envolvidos no projeto Translating Ferro/ Transforming Knowledges, também em parceria com o MOM. Esse encontro, que uniu as diversas perspectivas sobre o tema, desdobrou-se primeiro no seminário Pré-fabricação: da genealogia à economia política e, em seguida, na publicação deste livro. Essa retomada foi motivada pela constatação de similitudes entre o entusiasmo com a pré-fabricação no pós-guerra e o entusiasmo atual em torno da revolução nos métodos de projeto e construção (CAD, BIM e outros acrônimos). Novamente, a tecnologia é propagandeada como uma suposta solução para as contradições socioespaciais em toda parte. Nesse sentido, as hipóteses levantadas pelas discussões sobre a pré-fabricação despertam um interesse mais amplo, conectando-se a questões que atravessam o nosso presente. "As novas tecnologias podem ajudar na produção e na coordenação de um tal contexto produtivo, mas elas não são imprescindíveis nem farão milagres. Da pré-fabricação em taipa às miniusinas de Lelé, várias das iniciativas discutidas aqui contêm outras inspirações e pistas valiosas. Cabe ler os capítulos seguintes com essa possibilidade em mente e, ao mesmo tempo, com o discernimento crítico que a retrospectiva favorece." (Silke Kapp e Roberto dos Santos, p.23).…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. You know the subsystems. But can you make them work as one spacecraft?Most engineers learn power, thermal, propulsion and communications in separate courses. Then the first real project arrives, and a "small" change to the payload data rate suddenly affects the battery, the radiator, the antenna and the ground schedule. Nobody taught you to see that coming.This book does.The Illustrated Spacecraft Systems Engineering Handbook teaches you to think like the systems engineer in the room. You'll follow one Earth-observation satellite, the RM-1 reference mission, from its first vague mission need to its final disposal burn. Along the way you'll write testable requirements, close mass and power budgets, size solar arrays and batteries, build link budgets, plan verification, and make decisions you can defend.Inside you'll find: More than 110 illustrations, from orbit geometry and spacecraft cutaways to test set-ups and trade-study chartsWorked examples using real numbers, with every step shownPractice problems with full answer keys in all 17 chaptersModern practice: MBSE, constellations, FDIR, commissioning and responsible end of lifeThe proof is in the failures. Mars Climate Orbiter was lost to a units mismatch. Ariane 5 broke apart over reused software. Genesis crashed because sensors were installed upside down. Each of these is a "When It Went Wrong" case in this book, and you'll see exactly which systems engineering discipline would have caught it.Whether you're a student, an early-career engineer, or a specialist stepping into a systems role, this is the satellite design reference you'll keep open on your desk.Your next design review is coming.
