A fascinating journey into the scientific and cultural history of the female butt, for fans of Mary Roach and Leslie Jamison.Whether we love them or hate them, think they’re sexy, think they’re strange, consider them too big, too small, or anywhere in between, humans have a complicated relationship with butts. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame. A woman’s butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified, from anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down a street or high school hallways. But why? In Butts: A Backstory, reporter, essayist, and RadioLab contributing editor Heather Radke is determined to find out.Spanning nearly two centuries, this vivid cultural history takes us from the performance halls of 19th-century London to the aerobics studios of the 1980s, the music

This title examines the history and development of the Ju 188 twin-engined aircraft, the Luftwaffe’s attempt to enhance and improve its peerless Ju 88.The Junkers Ju 188 was the epitome of mid-war German twin-engined aircraft design, representing the enhancement of an earlier type and incorporating increased performance and technological sophistication. As part of the 1939 “Bomber B” program, it was intended as a replacement for the Ju 88 and He 111 medium bombers, taking advantage of uprated Jumo and BMW engines and incorporating a radically redesigned cockpit area with all-round visibility for high-speed bombing, torpedo-bomber carrying, FuG 200 radar, and camera-equipped reconnaissance operations. What emerged, from the autumn of 1943, was a sophisticated bomber and reconnaissance aircraft―and intended night fighter. After operational trials, the Ju 188 equipped three bomber Geschwader and several long-range reconnaissance Staffeln in the East and Italy, conducting operations over B

A fully illustrated study into the extraordinary Convair B-36 during the Cold War.Conceived during 1941 in case Germany occupied Britain, when US bombers would then have insufficient range to retaliate, the B-36 was to be primarily a “10,000-mile bomber” with heavy defensive armament, six engines and a performance that would prevent interception by fighters. Although rapid developments in jet engine and high-speed airframe technology quickly made it obsolescent, the B-36 took part in many important nuclear test programs. The aircraft also provided the US nuclear deterrent until the faster B-52 became available in 1955. It was one of the first aircraft to use substantial amounts of magnesium in its structure, leading to the bomber’s “Magnesium Overcast” nickname. It earned many superlatives due to the size and complexity of its structure, which used 27 miles of wiring, had a wingspan longer than the Wright brothers’ first flight, equivalent engine power to 400 cars, the same internal ca

In the early twenty-first century, courts have become versatile actors in the governance of many constitutional democracies, and judges play a variety of roles in politics and policy making. Assembling papers penned by academic specialists on high courts around the world, and presented during a year-long Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar at the University of California, Berkeley, this volume maps the roles in governance that courts are undertaking and the ways they have come to matter in the political life of their nations. It offers empirically rich accounts of dramatic judicial actions in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, exploring the political conditions and judicial strategies that have fostered those assertions of power and evaluating when and how courts' performance of new roles has been politically consequential. By focusing on the content and consequences of judicial power, the book advances a new agenda for the comparative study of courts.

Is military power central in determining which states get their voice heard? Must states run a high risk of war to communicate credible intent? In this book, Slantchev shows that states can often obtain concessions without incurring higher risks when they use military threats. Unlike diplomatic forms of communication, physical military moves improve a state's expected performance in war. If the opponent believes the threat, it will be more likely to back down. Military moves are also inherently costly, so only resolved states are willing to pay these costs. Slantchev argues that powerful states can secure better peaceful outcomes and lower the risk of war, but the likelihood of war depends on the extent to which a state is prepared to use military threats to deter challenges to peace and compel concessions without fighting. The price of peace may therefore be large: states invest in military forces that are both costly and unused.

The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. In this second edition of The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Kurt Schlueter approaches Shakespeare's early comedy as a parody of two types of Renaissance educational fiction: the love-quest story and the test-of-friendship story, which in combination show high-flown human ideals as incompatible with each other and with human nature. Since the first known production at David Garrick's Drury Lane Theatre, the play has tempted major directors and actors, though changing conceptions of the play often fail to recognise its subversive impetus. This updated edition includes a new introductory section by Lucy Munro on recent stage and critical interpretations, bringing the thoroughly researched

In so-called Christian countries an increasing number of people openly reject Christian morality. It is a commonplace that they do this for values that can be shown to be Christian. How did this state of affairs come about? An examination of the beginning of Christian ethical thought shows that, within great personal variety, certain patterns or concepts remain constant. Righteousness, discipleship, faith and love are traced in this book from the New Testament through to Augustine. There is a necessary tension between high ideals and practical performance, or between perfection and contingency. When this tension is lost, Christian ethics can easily go wrong. The amoral perfectionism of second-century Gnostics is remarkably similar to the mysticism of communal movements; the opposite threat of legalism has always been present in conservative forms of Christianity. Dr Osborn is concerned to explain rather than to defend, to look at the way conclusions are reached, and to show the rich d

A humorous and heartfelt MG debut about chess, girl power, and performance anxiety in elite sports.For fans of Kelly Yang and Celia C. Perez!Tick, toc . . . Tick, toc . . . The clock is ticking for May Li, whose middle-school chess team just earned a victory at the state championship, kicking them into high gear in preparation for nationals. What’s more exciting for May is that her win came with a special award for being the top female player in the tournament. An award that earns her a spot on a splashy Lingard Middle School campaign celebrating student achievements. May should be thrilled. But some of her teammates, including her supposed-to-be-friend Ralph, aren’t too keen on the special attention she’s getting—and they're even questioning her skills. Backed into a corner, but not one to back down, May makes a move: She bets Ralph she can win Lingard’s internal chess tournament and become team captain for nationals. Under the pressure of her

An insightful memoir from a figure skating champion about her life as a bisexual professional athlete, perfect for readers of Fierce by Aly Reisman and Forward by Abby Wambach. Karina Manta has had a busy few years: Not only did she capture the hearts of many with her fan-favorite performance at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, she also became the first female figure skater on Team USA to come out as queer. Her Modern Love essay I Can't Hate My Body if I Love Hers was published in the New York Times, and then she joined the circus--Cirque du Soleil's on-ice show, AXEL. Karina's memoir covers these experiences and much more. Attending a high school with 4,000 students, you'd expect to know more than two openly gay students, but Karina didn't meet an out-lesbian until she was nearly seventeen--let alone any other kind of queer woman. But this isn't just a story about her queerness. It's also a story about her struggle with body image in a sport that prizes delicate femininity. It's

水泥混凝土是當代*宗的人造建築材料。我國水泥年產量已超過4億噸，約占世界年產水泥的1/3；混凝土用量也為世界各國之冠，從國家重點建設工程到村鎮建築，都大量採用。 自從1824年波特蘭水泥問世以來，混凝土與鋼筋混凝土應用愈來愈廣泛，混凝土科學技術也不斷地取得進步。20世紀30年代開始採用的以引氣劑與塑化劑為主的混凝土外加劑技術，對優質混凝土的四大要素，即耐久性、強度、工作性與經濟性，產生了十分明顯甚至是決定性的作用。時至今日，外加劑已成為現代混凝土不可缺少的組分；摻加優質外加劑已成為混凝土改性的一條必經的技術途徑。 在60多年的混凝土外加劑發展過程中，引氣劑的使用對提高混凝土的耐久性起到顯著的作用，摻加極小劑量（0.002%~0.01%）的旨氣劑，在混漲土中引入大量微氣泡，在*含氣量（約4%-6%）的情況下，混凝土抗凍融循環破壞的能力可提高10倍以上，從而大大增加混凝土的耐久性；同時對工作性和均勻性也有明顯改善，有利於工程質量的提高。20世紀60年代初問世的高效減水劑（或稱超塑化劑）給混凝土的改性帶來了重大的突破。摻加少量（1%左右）的高效減少水劑，採用常規的混凝土工藝，就能配制得到28d抗壓強度達60~120MPa的高強度混凝土。70年代初出現了以超塑化劑配制的流態混凝土，已廣泛應用。進入90年代，由美國首先提出的高性能混凝土（High Performance Con-crete,簡稱HPC）的新概念，其基本要求是混凝土應具有良好的耐久性、工作性和強度。促使高強度混凝土向高性能混凝土發展的動力是建築工程發展的需要，如高層化、大荷載、大跨度、大體積、快速、經濟、節能以及特種工程的特性要求等。因此，高性能混凝土作為跨世紀的新型高效建築材料被大量採用。 在混凝土材料發展的同時，也促進了混凝土外加劑向高效、多功能和復合化的方向發展。採用復合外加劑能夠改善新拌混凝土的工作性（如增加流動性、減少流動性經時損失等）和穩定性（如勻質性、不離析、不泌水等），調節水泥的水化硬化過程（如延緩水化放熱、早強、高強等），改善混凝土的孔結構（如達到輕質、高強、耐久等），提高混凝土體積穩定性（補償收縮、防滲、抗裂等），以及賦予混凝土某些特殊性能。因此，高效、多功能、復合外加劑的開發與應用，必將推動混凝土制備工藝和新型混凝土材料的發展，例如流態混凝土、自流平自密實混凝土、水下澆築混凝土、無宏觀缺陷
