Рома Агравал — новинки

Roma Agrawal is a structural engineer who builds big. From footbridges and sculptures, to train stations and skyscrapers - including The Shard - she has left an indelible mark on London's landscape. She is a tireless promoter of engineering and technical careers to young people, particularly under-represented groups such as women. She has advised policymakers and governments on science education, and has given talks to thousands around the world at universities, schools and organisations incl

Wir arbeiten in ihnen, spazieren über sie und fahren durch sie hindurch: Dass Hochhäuser dem Sturm trotzen, Brücken und Tunnel dem Verkehr und der Schwerkraft standhalten, ist jedoch nicht selbstverständlich, sondern fast ein Wunder - und der Kunst der Ingenieure zu verdanken. Roma Agrawal, die Westeuropas zweithöchsten Wolkenkratzer plante, weiht uns ein in die Geheimnisse der Statik. Auf ihrer Reise durch die Geschichte der Gebäude erzählt Agrawal, wie Materialien Bauweisen revolutionierten und warum die wichtigste Errungenschaft des Römischen Reichs der Ziegelstein war. Das erste populäre Sachbuch über das Bauen, geschrieben von einer der führenden Ingenieurinnen unserer Zeit.

Как наша жизнь зависит от решений инженера? Почему рушатся одни мосты и веками стоят другие? Почему одни здания вызывают у нас дискомфорт, а другие наоборот - заставляют успокаиваться? Туго натянутые тросы над огромным мостом через реку, стальной скелет под стеклянной кожей высокой башни, трубопроводы и туннели, которые прячутся у нас под ногами, - все это и есть мир, который мы построили, и он многое говорит о человеческой изобретательности, о нашем взаимодействии друг с другом и с природой. Наша постоянно меняющаяся инженерная вселенная полна разных историй и тайн, и если вы захотите прислушаться и присмотреться, то вас ждет…

The wonders of engineering revealed--by the inspirational female engineer behind the Shard, Western Europe’s tallest building.

While our cities are full of incredible engineering feats, most of us live with little idea of what goes into creating the built environment, let alone how a new building goes up, what it is constructed upon, or how it remains standing.

In Built, star structural engineer Roma Agrawal explains how construction has evolved from the mud huts of our ancestors to skyscrapers of steel that reach into the sky. She unearths how humans have tunneled through solid mountains; how we've walked across the widest of rivers, and tamed nature's precious water resources. She tells vivid tales of the visionaries who created the groundbreaking materials used to build the Pantheon and the Eiffel Tower; and explains how careful engineering can minimize tragedies like the collapse of the Quebec Bridge. Interweaving science, history, illustrations, and personal stories, Built offers a fascinating window into a subject that makes up the foundation of our everyday lives.
