Hannah Sophie The Mystery of Three Quarters
The world's most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot - the legendary star of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express and most recently The Monogram Murders and Closed Casket—returns in a stylish, diabolically clever mystery set in 1930's London. Returning home after lunch one day, Hercule Poirot finds an angry woman waiting outside his front door. She demands to know why Poirot has sent her a letter accusing her of the murder of Barnabas Pandy, a man she has neither heard of nor ever met. Poirot has also never heard of a Barnabas Pandy, and has accused nobody of murder. Shaken, he goes inside, only to find that he has a visitor waiting for him — a man who also claims also to have received a letter from Poirot that morning, accusing him of the murder of Barnabas Pandy... Poirot wonders how many more letters of this sort have been sent in his name. Who sent them, and why? More importantly, who is Barnabas Pandy, is he dead, and, if so, was he murdered? And can Poirot find out the answers without putting more lives in danger?

Dunant Sarah Blood and Beauty
By the end of the fifteenth century, the beauty and creativity of Italy is matched only by its brutality and corruption. When Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia buys his way into the papacy, he is defined not just by his wealth, charisma and power, but by his blood: a Spanish Pope in a city run by Italians. If he is to succeed, he must use his Machiavellian son and innocent daughter. Stripping away the myths around the Borgias, Blood & Beauty breathes life into the astonishing family of Alexander VI and celebrates the raw power of history itself: compelling, complex, and relentless.

Chaubin Frederic Stone Age. Ancient Castles of Europe
Castles and fortresses of medieval Europe Follow photographer Frederic Chaubin as he embarks on a unique, century-spanning journey through Europe. Featuring images of more than 200 buildings in 21 countries, Stone Age presents the history and architecture of the most dramatic medieval castles of the continent in an unprecedented collection. Building on the success of his foray into Soviet design with CCCP, Chaubin once again documents the afterlife of highly rational structures that seem out of place in a modern-day world. Precursors of Brutalism, these castles value function over form and epitomize the raw materials and shapes that would go on to define so much of architectural history. Shot on film with a Linhof view camera, the collection is the outcome of five years of travel and investigation. Complete with a practical map and explanatory essay, its castles tell the story of 400 years, unfolding through the feudal Middle Ages into the 15th century. A photographic study of decay as much as endurance, Stone Age traces the history of some of these singular structures that continue to enchant their audiences today and that occupy a distinct, mystical place in our collective imagination.

Jodidio Philip Contemporary Concrete Buildings
Concrete? That characterless stuff of parking lots or Communist tower blocks, right? Well, yes. And no. Concrete is actually a name applied to a remarkably wide range of building substances, and, when properly handled, is one of the noble materials of contemporary architecture. A kind of "liquid stone" at the outset, it is malleable, durable, and capable of prodigious feats of engineering. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition highlights the best work done in concrete of recent years. It includes such stars as Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, and Steven Holl, but also surprising new architects like the Russians SPEECH and artists such as James Turrell, who turned the famous concrete spiral of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim in New York into the setting of one of his most remarkable pieces.

Zupagrafika. Brutal Britain
Многоэтажки, панельные жилые комплексы, небесные улицы, новые города, некоторые бетонные конструкции, которые когда-то формировали городские пейзажи послевоенной Британии, выдержали испытание временем, тогда как других уже давно нет. BRUTAL BRITAIN от Zupagrafika воспевает бруталистскую архитектуру Британских островов, приглашая читателей исследовать современное прошлое Великобритании и восстановить некоторые из ее самых интригующих послевоенных зданий, от культовой башни Треллик в Лондоне и Парк-Хилл в Шеффилде до снесенных Центральная библиотека Бирмингема.

Homesmiths Concrete Steel Nails 2
The Homesmiths Concrete Steel Nails 2" are hardened nails that are suitable for use with concrete. As concrete is tough to be nailed, these nails are made from hardened steel, so they do not bend when they are hammered. The flat end helps in distributing the pressure evenly on the nail when hammered. It gently pushes the nail in, without damaging the layer of concrete as concrete tends to chip off when hammered incorrectly. The nails can be used to reinforce wooden planks on concrete or for securing other materials on a concrete construction. .(1)The size of the nails is 2ќ(2) Made from hardened steel for increased strength(3) Specially designed for use on concrete surfaces(4) Does not crack/chip off concrete(5) Resistant to corrosion(6) Steel is durable and lasts decades..

Ermakova A. Additional finite element method for nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures ar limit states
The manual is destined for students studying the course "Finite Element Method" on the problems of nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures. It is directed on the formation of the student’s integrity view on nonlinear behavior of such structures and singularities of their design. Manual considers the bases of developed by the author Additional Finite Element Method (AFEM) which is a variant the of Finite Element Method (FEM) destined for nonlinear design of reinforced concrete structures at limit states. AFEM adds to the traditional sequence of solving problem by FEM the units of well-known methods of the structural design: limit state method (method of ultimate equilibrium) and method of elastic decisions (method of additional loads). It is reached by introduction of ideal failure models and additional design diagrams formed of additional finite elements, where each AFE describes the limit state reached by the main element. The main relations defining the properties of AFEs as well as the examples of the use of AFEM for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit states are given too.
