Steel, Concrete, and Composite Design of Tall Buildings
Thoroughly updated, this superbly illustrated handbook provides a uniquely practical perspective on all aspects of steel, concrete, and composite use in the design of tall buildings. It alerts professionals to the latest codes and ANSI standards and includes dozens of case studies of important buildings throughout the world, providing in-depth insight into why and how specific structural system choices were made. It also discusses recent studies of seismic vulnerability. . .the effect of wind and seismic forces on design decisions. . .the use of lateral bracing concepts and gravity-based systems. . .computer modeling techniques that forecast the response of buildings to various forces. . .and much more..

The History of the Supreme Court of the United States, Vol. 8: Troubled Beginnings of the Modern State, 18881910 (Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise History ... of the Supreme Court of the United States)
A highly interpretive and eminently readable study of the Supreme Court during the period in which Melvin Fuller was Chief Justice, offering a complete account of the cases the Court saw during one of the most tumultuous times in U.S. history. The legacy of the Supreme Court at the turn of the century has largely been negative: decisions such as Lochner v. New York (1905), Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. (1895), In re Debs (1895), and Plessy v. Ferguson have been seen by subsequent generations of lawyers and judges as embodying a judicial method and philosophy that should be avoided at all costs. This book places these decisions in their historical context. It rejects the crude instrumental interpretation of these decisions and explains them as the expression of a conception of liberty that has its roots in the founding of the nation..

Molecules As Components of Electronic Devises (Acs Symposium Series, 844)
The field of molecular electronics is a novel area of research developing at the interface of electrical engineering, materials science, and chemistry To date, most publications in the area appear in disciplinary journals. This will be the first comprehensive book devoted to the subject. Molecules as Components of Electronic Devices provides recent research on a range of molecular electronic applications. The research in the volume is focused on three main areas: measurements, materials, and theory. Molecules as Components of Electronic Devices provides recent research on a range of molecular electronic applications. The first section, Measurements, deals with the electrical conductivity and charge retention properties of self-assembled monolayers of molecules. These properties are relevant to molecules that function as insulators, diodes, memory elements, or two-terminal transistors. Wide-area measurements made on metal/SAM/metal devices and scanning-probe measurements of properties of single molecules are included. The section on Materials is more wide ranging in scope; it includes work on nanoparticle and device fabrication for photovoltaic devices and sensors, and the synthesis and testing of specialized molecules for functions such as light emission. The Theory section includes ab initio studies of electron transport through molecules and an introduction to molecular photovoltaic devices..
