Shelf David Gissen, assistant professor of architecture in the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Big and Green: Towards Sustainable Architecture in the 21st Century, published by Princeton Architectural Press. The book explores the ways environmentalist architects are rethinking international architectural development. These architects are examining how environmentally progressive design can have a positive impact on architectural development by incorporating natural air conditioning systems and solar and wind energy sources, among numerous other technologies, at unprecedented scales. Gissen's work is a comprehensive examination of the work of architects worldwide, including James Wines, professor of architecture at Penn State and founder of SITE in New York; British architect Richard Rogers and Malaysian architect Kenneth Yeang, among others.
Robert J. Heinsohn, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering, and John M. Cimbala, professor of mechanical engineering. Indoor Air Quality Engineering: Environmental Health and Control of Indoor Pollutants, published by Marcel Dekker. Indoor Air Quality Engineering presents state-of-the-art strategies to design efficient ventilation, exhaust and particle control systems; predict the interaction of gaseous and particulate pollutants on the human body; model and predict contaminant production and transport behavior; compute mass and volumetric flow, pollutant concentrations, and contaminant generation and emission rates; and estimate hazards and health risks associated with air pollutants, noise, heat, fires and explosions in indoor environments.
Dennis W. Ricker, senior scientist and professor emeritus of acoustics. Echo Signal Processing, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers, Norwell, Mass. The book presents introductory and advanced topics in the areas of signal theory and processing as specifically applied to acoustic echo-location (sonar). The material is presented as a logical development starting with the basic principles of signal theory and proceeds to the development of topics in detection and estimation theory waveform design, echo modeling, scattering theory and spatial processing.
Nancy Tischler, professor emerita of English humanities. Men and Women of the Bible, published by Greenwood Press. This book is a series of 100 studies of individuals named in the Scriptures. |
