City of Wood
Author: James Michael Buckley
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477330240
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
"In City of Wood, architectural historian James Buckley explores San Francisco's rapid urban development as a product of the physical and economic transformation of the natural environment of the American West. San Francisco is best known as a product of the gold and silver that were mined from California's mountains and streams, but as Buckley shows, the city's growth was in fact fueled by a wide range of natural resources that could be converted into marketable commodities. City of Wood investigates the architecture of a typical Western resource industry--redwood lumber--to determine how the exploitation of California's natural resources shaped the built environment of both San Francisco and its broader hinterland"--

Measuring Slipperiness
Author: Wen-Ruey Chang
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1420023756
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
In recent decades, injury has begun to gain prominence as a public health and societal problem. Slipperiness and slip, trip, and fall (STF) injuries are among the greatest obstacles to reducing the injury burden. One of the biggest challenges in STF is defining and measuring slipperiness. After over half a century of serious research on what slipperiness is and how it can be measured, rapid progress has been made in the decade of the 90s. Measuring Slipperiness: Human Locomotion and Surface Factors provides an overview of basic concepts and definitions of terms related to the 'measurement of slipperiness' from the onset of a foot slide to a gradual loss of balance and a fall. The book includes expert group perspectives on human-centered (biomechanical, locomotive, perceptual, and cognitive), and surface-centered (roughness, friction) aspects and approaches. It addresses the injury burden of slipperiness, globally reviews existing slipmeters, and summarizes areas of consensus in the field of slipperiness measurement. Perhaps the most comprehensive treatment of the subject ever compiled, the book contains contributions from North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania including the National Laboratories of Finland, France, the U.K., and the U.S. A valuable, state-of-the-art textbook, it provides students with a useful starting point for understanding the many aspects of STF.
