Aspiring architects will be in their element! Explore this illustrated narrative history of buildings for young readers, an amazing construction in itself.We spend most of our lives in buildings. We make our homes in them. We go to school in them. We work in them. But why and how did people start making buildings? How did they learn to make them stronger, bigger, and more comfortable? Why did they start to decorate them in different ways? From the pyramid erected so that an Egyptian pharaoh would last forever to the dramatic, machine-like Pompidou Center designed by two young architects, Patrick Dillon’s stories of remarkable buildings — and the remarkable people who made them — celebrates the ingenuity of human creation. Stephen Biesty’s extraordinarily detailed illustrations take us inside famous buildings throughout history and demonstrate just how these marvelous structures fit together.

The Voices of the Consul is the first book-length study of the rhetoric of "On the Agrarian Law" I and II, the first two speeches that the great Roman orator Cicero gave on his ascension to the leadership of the Roman state-the first to the senate, the second to the people. Through a close and novel linguistic analysis, Brian A. Krostenko draws out Cicero's idealistic visions and shows how Cicero's apparently diffuse attacks on various clauses of an agrarian bill are informed by a consistent and idealistic vision of the functioning of the Roman state in which the people are to take their sovereignty seriously and the senate is to regard its high position responsibly. Cicero's speeches turned a critique of a single law into a politico manifesto-a worthy objective for a new consul. By a close comparison of corresponding passages from the speeches, the book clarifies Cicero's masterful adaptations of his audiences' knowledge of political concepts, civic spaces, legal procedures, and other

Walter Isaacson's #1 New York Times bestselling history of our third scientific revolution: CRISPR, gene editing, and the quest to understand the code of life itself, is now adapted for young readers!When Jennifer Doudna was a sixth grader in Hilo, Hawaii, she came home from school one afternoon and found a book on her bed. It was The Double Helix, James Watson's account of how he and Francis Crick had discovered the structure of DNA, the spiral-staircase molecule that carries the genetic instruction code for all forms of life. This book guided Jennifer Doudna to focus her studies not on DNA, but on what seemed to take a backseat in biochemistry: figuring out the structure of RNA, a closely related molecule that enables the genetic instructions coded in DNA to express themselves. Doudna became an expert in determining the shapes and structures of these RNA molecules an expertise that led her to develop a revolutionary new technique that could edit human genes. Today gene-editing techno

Nanomaterials possess special mechanical, electrical, and electronic properties. As a result, nanomaterials play a significant role in various nanoelectromechanical systems. Some of these materials include nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanotube resonators, and nanoactuators. These structures are broadly utilized in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. The dynamic analysis of nanostructures is important, because one must have knowledge about the mechanical behaviours to get an accurate prediction of dynamic characteristics. Conducting experiments at the nanoscale size is both complicated and expensive. Therefore, the development of appropriate mathematical models for the study of the dynamic behaviour of nanostructures is important. These models/problems are governed by linear/nonlinear differential equations which are not always possible to solve analytically. This deficiency compels us to search for numerical and computational methods. This book provides a detailed exp
