A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted & we forget how provocative & challenging its ideas once were-and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" is that kind of book. When it was first published in 1962 it was a landmark event in the history & philosophy of science. & fifty years later it still has many lessons to teach. With " The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" Kuhn challenged long-standing linear notions of scientific progress arguing that transformative ideas don't arise from the day-to-day gradual process of experimentation & data accumulation but that revolutions in science those breakthrough moments that disrupt accepted thinking & offer unanticipated ideas occur outside of "normal science " as he called it. Though Kuhn was writing when physics ruled the sciences his ideas on how scientific revolutions bring order to the anomalies that amass over time in research experiments are still instructive in our biotech age. This new edition of Kuhn's essential work in the history of science

Includes::
an insightful introductory essay by Ian Hacking that clarifies terms popularized by Kuhn including paradigm & incommensurability & applies Kuhn's ideas to the science of today. Usefully keyed to the separate sections of the book Hacking's essay provides important background information as well as a contemporary context. Newly designed with an expanded index this edition will be eagerly welcomed by the next generation of readers seeking to understand the history of our perspectives on science."

According to N. J. Habraken intimate & unceasing interaction between people & the forms they inhabit uniquely defines built environment. The Structure of the Ordinary the culmination of decades of environmental observation & design research is a recognition & analysis of everyday environment as the wellspring of urban design & formal architecture. The authors central argument is that built environment is universally organized by the Orders of Form Place & Understanding. These three fundamental interwoven principles correspond roughly to physical biological & social domains. Historically ordinary" environment was the background against which architects built the "extraordinary." Drawing upon extensive examples from archaeological & contemporary sites worldwide the author illustrates profound recent shifts in the structure of everyday environment. One effect of these transformations Habraken argues has been the loss of implicit common understanding that previously enabled architects to formally enhance & innovate while still maintaining environmental coherence. Consequently architects must now undertake a study of the ordinary as the fertile common ground in which form- & place-making are rooted. In focusing on built environment as an autonomous entity distinct from the societies & natural environments that jointly create it this book lays the foundation for a new dialogue on methodology & pedagogy in support of a more informed approach to professional intervention." ...

This new edition of the epic Strumpet City marks the centenary of the 1913 Lockout. It has been chosen as Dublin City Libraries' One City One Book for 2013. First published in 1969 it has repeatedly been described as one of the greatest Irish novels of all time. Centring on the seminal lockout of 20 000 workers in Dublin in 1913 Strumpet City encompasses a wide sweep of city life. From the destitution of Rashers Tierney to the solid aspirant respectability of Fitz & Mary the priestly life of Father O' Connor & the upper-class world of Yearling & the Bradshaws it paints a portrait of a city of stark contrasts with an urban working class mired in vicious poverty. Strumpet City is much more than a book about the Lockout. Through the power of vivid fiction we encounter all the complexities of humanity. The brilliant & much-loved TV series originally screened by RTE in 1980 is fondly remembered by many but to read the book is to immerse yourself in social & historical writing akin to Chekhov & Tolstoy. Strumpet City is the great sweeping Irish historical novel of the 20th century. ...

Stuart does not like the manuscript. Hes after a bestseller like what Tom Clancy writes". " But you are not an assassin trying to frazzle the president with anthrax bombs " I point out. You are an ex-homeless ex-junkie psychopath I do not add. This is the story of a remarkable friendship between a reclusive writer (a middle-class scum ponce if you want to be honest about it Alexander) & Stuart Shorter a homeless knife-wielding thief. Told backwards -- Stuarts idea -- it starts with a deeply troubled thirty-two-year-old & ends with a happy-go-lucky little boy of twelve. This brilliant biography winner of the Guardian First Book Award presents a humbling portrait of homeless life & is as extraordinary & unexpected as the man it describes." ...

The guidance in this book teaches Course 1. Before anabolic steroids started to infest the body-building world variations of Course 1 were famous popular & responsible for building tons of muscle. But in the 1960s when the use of steroids became popular among competitive body-builders the popularity of Course 1 began to wane. Since then the routines most commonly promoted in the body-building world have been those used by physique stars who were genetically gifted for body-building & on steroids. But those routines do not work well if at all for most other body-builders. The guidance in this book is founded on the amazing progress that Peary Rader made -- around 50 pounds of natural muscle growth following 12 years of failure on other routines. Here are the three primary characteristics of Course 1: 1) It is very effective. Its track record for producing lots of muscle growth is illustrious (even for hard gainers); 2) It is up to date. The routine that Peary used has been modernised in this book. The version you can apply is even better than the original one. (There are better training tools today & knowledge of nutrition & the other components of recuperation is much greater nowadays.); 3) It is personalised. You will be taught how to modify the routine so that it suits you perfectly. When applied properly this may be the 1 muscle-building routine for drug-free genetically typical body-builders. & because this legendary routine does not require long or overly frequent workouts it is suitable even for busy people. But be ready for training concepts that are radically different to what you are used to. & set aside any doubts you may have. Simply apply Course 1 as it is explained in this book & experience the muscle-building magic yourself. Then you will really be a believer. This book provides the most complete up-to-date & useful guidance ever published on this fabulous body-building routine. It

Includes::
the background & history of the routine the modernisation of it the essential foundation phase the special training schedules how to train (including exercise technique in great detail) the components of recuperation (including nutrition) & two inspiring illustrations of how to put Course 1 into practice (from Peary Rader & Stuart Mc Robert). If other instruction has not produced the muscle mass you want why stick with it? Instead apply the routine that is explained in this book -- it is proven to build lots of muscle mass fast. Why a New BRAWN Series? The new series complements the best-selling books BRAWN & BEYOND BRAWN. Building on the philosophy principles & methods promoted in those two classic works the new series presents premier body-building routines that are immaculately detailed rich in new material thoroughly up-to-date & proven to be super-effective. This first book of the new series teaches Course 1 which was mentioned only very briefly in BRAWN & BEYOND BRAWN although not by that particular name.
