Paperback. Condizione: New. A city of stories - short, fragmented, amorphous, and at times contradictory - Tehran is an impossible tale to tell. For the capital city of one of the most powerful nations in the Middle East, its literary output is rarely acknowledged in the West. This unique celebration of its writing brings together ten stories exploring the tensions and pressures that make the city what it is: tensions between the public and the private, pressures from without - judgemental neighbours, the expectations of religion and society - and from within - family feuds, thwarted ambitions, destructive relationships. The psychological impact of these pressures manifests in different ways: a man wakes up to find a stranger relaxing in his living room and starts to wonder if this is his house at all; a struggling writer decides only when his girlfriend breaks his heart will his work have depth. In all cases, coping with these pressures leads us, the readers, into an unexpected trove of cultural treasures - like the burglar, in one story, descending into the basement of a mysterious antique collector's house - treasures of which we, in the West, are almost wholly ignorant.…

In 2003 vlucht hij naar Parijs, maar de herinneringen aan broeder Hamid zijn onuitwisbaar. Als hij zijn boek begint te schrijven, leidt dat tot een hartaanval. In Brieven aan mijn folteraar vertelt Asadi zijn verschrikkelijke verhaal.; .…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1. XII 269 p. ill.; 26 cm Bujang B.K. Huat . et al. On title page and cover. A Balkema Book. Bibliography pp. 239-263. Index. Soil mechanics. Peat soils. English Peat and organic soils commonly occur as extremely soft, wet, unconsolidated surficial deposits that are an integral part of wetland systems. These types of soils can give rise to geotechnical problems in the area of sampling, settlement, stability, in situ testing, stabilisation and construction. There is therefore a tendency to either avoid building on these soils, or, when this is not possible, to simply remove or replace soils, which in some instances can lead to possibly uneconomical design and construction alternatives. However, in many countries of the world, these soils cover a substantial land area and pressure on land use is resulting in ever more frequent utilisation of such marginal grounds. For the successful design, construction and performance of structures on such marginal soils, it is crucial to predict geotechnical behaviour in terms of settlement, shear strength and stability, with respect to time. This means expanding our knowledge base and calls for a reliable characterisation of their geotechnical properties and mechanical behaviour and subsequently, the devising of suitable design parameters and construction techniques for dealing with these materials. A sound scientific understanding of the nature and functions of peat and organic soils is critical to their correct and safe use, and this book contributes by offering students, researchers, engineers and academics involved with these types of soils a comprehensive overview. This book will be useful not only to those in the field of geotechnical engineering, but also to soil scientists and agriculturalists, who are involved in the development of peatlands.…
