✆A translated and revised work IDEAL FOR LOVERS OF A GOOD READ → Quality works to enjoy on your kindle. "This little book, Sand and Foam, is not bigger than its name. It is nothing more than a handful of sand and a little foam. In spite of having put it among the grains of my heart and in spite of having poured on its foam The juice of my soul is and will always be closer to the beach than to the sea and closer to the desired desire than to the ineffable encounter. In the desires of every man and every woman there is a little sand and a little foam, some show it and others are ashamed to show it, but I'm not ashamed " About the Author: Lebanese writer and painter born in Becharré on January 6, 1883 and died in New York on April 10, 1931. His family emigrated to the United States when he was eleven years old, a country where he learned English and where he was until his He returned to Lebanon in 1898. In his native country he began to perfect his drawing, and also there the germ of what would be his masterpiece, The Prophet, was born. In 1902 he returned to the United States, more specifically to Boston, one of the undisputed cultural capitals of New England, where he began a career as a painter that would lead him to exhibit in various parts of the world, even doing so, with great success, in Paris. As his fame as a painter advanced, Gibran began to publish his texts, for example in the magazine Al-Manarah, founded by him. In 1923 the prophet finally saw the light, Illustrated by himself, with great acceptance by the public and critics. Although living in New York since the 10s, Gibran tried to return to Lebanon constantly, longing for his roots.

Reviewing an extensive array of procedures in hot and cold forming, casting, heat treatment, machining, and surface engineering of steel and aluminum, this comprehensive reference explores a vast range of processes relating to metallurgical component design-enhancing the production and the properties of engineered components while reducing manufacturing costs. It surveys the role of computer simulation in alloy design and its impact on material structure and mechanical properties such as fatigue and wear. It also discusses alloy design for various materials, including steel, iron, aluminum, magnesium, titanium, super alloy compositions and copper.

Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground comprises a collection of 112 papers, the Fujita Lecture, three Special Lectures and the Bright Spark Lecture presented at the Tenth International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground, held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, 27-29 June 2022. This second edition includes four general reports on the symposium themes. The symposium is the latest in a series which began in New Delhi in 1994, and was followed by symposia in London (1996), Tokyo (1999), Toulouse (2002), Amsterdam (2005), Shanghai (2008), Rome (2011), Seoul (2014) and Sao Paulo (2017). This was organised by the Geotechnical Research Group at the University of Cambridge, under the auspices of the Technical Committee TC204 of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground includes contributions from more than 25 countries on research, design and construction of underground works in soft ground. The contributions cover: Field case studies Sensing technologies and monitoring for underground construction in soft ground Physical and numerical modelling of tunnels and deep excavations in soft ground Seismic response of underground infrastructure in soft ground Design and application of ground improvement for underground construction Ground movements, interaction with existing structures and mitigation measures The general reports give an overview of the papers submitted to the symposium, covered in four technical sessions. The proceedings include the written version of the five invited lectures covering topics ranging from developments in geotechnical aspects of underground construction, tunnelling and groundwater interaction (short and long-term effects), the influence of earth pressure balance shield tunnelling on pre-convergence and segmental liner loading (field observations, modelling and implications on design). Similar to previous editions, Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground represents a valuable source of reference on the current practice of analysis, design, and construction of tunnels and deep excavations in soft ground. The book is particularly aimed at academics and professionals interested in geotechnical and underground engineering.
