Material Matters Metal: Creative Applications of Common Materials
Materials have the power to affect human experiences and emotions by helping us build intimate connections with inanimate objects through touch and feel. Whether they are used as a point of reference or the medium of creation itself, they are integral to artists and designers who seek to explore fresh outcomes, experiment with new techniques, and elicit distinct responses from their audiences.
Material Matters 02: Metal showcases stunning creative interpretations of the common material across a variety of mediums. From oxidising and rusting metal sheets to create intriguing effects on artwork to applying and embossing pieces of foil on printed matter for visual impact, this edition explores the compelling ways with which the unique characteristics of metal can be cleverly drawn upon or manipulated to shape the outcome of a particular project, with insights into the key techniques featured.

Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare
Written at the height of the Cold War in 1959, Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare was published in an effort 'to prevent the catastrophe which would result from a large scale H-bomb war'. Bertrand Russell’s staunch anti-war stance is made very clear in this highly controversial text, which outlines his sharp insights into the threat of nuclear conflict and what should be done to avoid it. Russell’s argument, that the only way to end the threat of nuclear war is to end war itself, is as relevant today as it was on first publication.

Nuclear Weapons: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Despite not having been used in anger since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Bomb is still the biggest threat that faces us in the 21st century. As Bill Clinton's first secretary of defence, Les Aspin, aptly put it: 'The Cold War is over, the Soviet Union is no more. But the post-Cold War world is decidedly not post-nuclear'. For all the effort to reduce nuclear stockpiles to zero, it seems that the Bomb is here to stay. This Very Short Introduction reveals why. The history, and politics of the bomb are explained: from the technology of nuclear weapons, to the revolutionary implications of the H-bomb, and the politics of nuclear deterrence. The issues are set against a backdrop of the changing international landscape, from the early days of development, through the Cold War, to the present-day controversy of George W. Bush's National Missile Defence, and the threat and role of nuclear weapons in the so-called Age of Terror. Joseph M. Siracusa provides a comprehensive, accessible, and at times chilling overview of the most deadly weapon ever invented.

Material Design
Wenn das professionelle Interesse an neuen Materialien uber eine intuitive Faszination hinausgeht, stellt sich die Frage, wie Innovationen aus der Materialerforschung in die Architekturanwendung importiert werden konnen. Hier setzt dieses grundlegend
e Buch an. Ausgehend von Materialeigenschaften wie Textur, Elastizitat oder Transparenz uberwindet es die traditionellen Einteilungen von Werkstoffen zugunsten der Darstellung ubergreifender Verarbeitungs- und Verwendungsarten wie Falten und Biegen,
Schneiden und Weben, Spiegeln und Projizieren. Die entwurfsorientierten Strategien und Techniken umfassen sowohl die etablierten als als "neue" Materialien. Sie ubergreifen alle Mastabe vom Detail bis zum Gesamtgebaude. Die Beispiele reichen von Prot
otypen bis hin zu groen ausfuhrten Projekten der letzten Jahre. In neun Kapiteln werden aus dieser neuen Sicht Oberflachen und Schichtungen, Fugungen und Verbindungen, Gewebe und Texturen, Transformationen mittels reaktiver Materialien und Nanomateri
alien, die Integration ephemerer Faktoren wie Wind und Licht sowie die systematische Erschlieung von Ressourcen durch Materialsammlungen dargestellt. Einleitend wird die Herausbildung der aktuellen Materialkultur beschrieben. Ein abschlieender Teil b
ehandelt den Beitrag der Materialinnovation zu aktuellen Anforderungen von Fragen der Nachhaltigkeit, des Lebenszyklus usw.

Raw+Material=Art
Tristan Manco, perhaps the worlds most influential commentator on street art, showcases the work of 38 truly innovative and inspirational artists who use low-cost, low-tech media and often totally original techniques to produce work that defies categorization and pushes the boundaries of art itself. Many of them repurpose utilitarian or scrap materials, from unglamorous items of domestic waste, found wood and even organic detritus such as skin and nails to recycled toys, books, skateboards, firecrackers and lights. Others show creative approaches to traditional or proven media such as paper, stone, concrete and steel. The ingeniously crafted and thought-provoking results range across a broad spectrum, from intimate paper collages to large public sculptures constructed from discarded wood. Anyone fascinated by the extraordinary creativity currently emerging at the raw edge of contemporary art will find this book compelling reading.

Concrete Ideas: material to shape a city
"Concrete Ideas: Material to Shape a City" explores the ways in which new technologies are changing concrete and the ways in which it is used. Presented in an elegantly boxed package, with tipped-in images and varying types of paper, "Concrete Ideas" is as tactile as the material whose reputation it seeks to restore. Through a series of montages, drawings and photographs, it visually speculates on concretes capacity as an urban catalyst, its potential for defining cities and the many ways in which it is being applied in urban renewal. With thoughtful, informed contributions from experts such as Mark West, George Baird, Will Bruder and Charles Waldheim, among others, and specially taken photographs of concrete buildings around the world (although Toronto features heavily as an exemplar of a successful concrete city), this book is key reading for all architecture students and practitioners, and offers a seductive argument for the reconsideration and reclamation of this age-old building material, which is after water the second most used material in the world.
