• The Triangle, three giant concrete monoliths, filled with poverty, decay, hate, addiction. Once a place of tranquility, now it?s a burial ground of human excess, of raw human emotion, where no authority is welcome. You have seen these places, these cities in the sky. You?ve driven passed them, frowned at their residents, dodged their shadows, and have been offended by their way of life.
• In this place of harsh realities, there are no happy endings, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, there is no way out.

• Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

• **A COMICS ICON RETURNS!** One of the medium's all-time greats is back in this collection of _Concrete_ stories from the relaunched _Dark Horse Presents_! In three new adventures, the most human of heroes intervenes in a burglary that turns out to be much more, investigates a possible sighting of the aliens who gave him his rocky body, and develops an alternative to the Taser: himself. This issue strikes the perfect balance of inviting stories for new readers and character development for longtime fans. *Collecting the _Concrete_ stories from _Dark Horse Presents_ #1-#3, with an afterword written by Paul Chadwick! *Great jumping-on point for new readers!

• Imagine what the world would be like without concrete: there?d be no high-rises, no grand irrigation projects, no lettuce from southern climes in the winter, no multi-lane highways crisscrossing continents, a shortage of electricity, more mud in some places, more solitude in others. But because of the fossil fuels and other resources required to make concrete, there also would be less CO2 in the atmosphere and less dramatic climate change. In Concrete: From Ancient Origins to a Problematic Future, Soderstrom tells the story of concrete?s glorious past, extravagant present, and uncertain future with careful research, lively anecdotes, and thoughtful reflection. The framework for this exploration is one the Romans?famous for concrete structures that are still strong?would understand: the four elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air.

• Instead of the book he is meant to write, Rudolph, a Viennese musicologist, produces this dark and grotesquely funny account of small woes writ large, of profound horrors detailed and rehearsed to the point of distraction. We learn of Rudolph's sister, whose help he invites then reviles; his 'really marvellous' house which he hates; the suspicious illness he carefully nurses; his ten-year-long attempt to write the perfect opening sentence; and his escape to the island of Majorca, which turns out to be the site of someone else's very real horror story, and ultimately brings him no release from himself.
• Concrete is Thomas Bernhard at his very finest: a bleakly hilarious insight into procrastination and failure that scratches the murky depths of our souls.

• Concrete describes the properties of concrete, its manufacture, and use in building and civil engineering construction. A scientific approach to the properties of materials and concrete has been united with a practical approach to methods of construction.
• The book begins with an introduction to the properties of concrete. Concrete is a constructional material which consists essentially of a binding agent and a mineral filler. The binding agent is a hydraulic cement which develops its strength when mixed with water. Separate chapters cover the manufacture and properties of concrete materials; mix design, i.e. proportioning of various constituents of concrete to produce the desired properties in both the plastic; concrete manufacturing; and quality control. Also discussed are the resistance of concrete to deterioration, surface treatment of concrete, and special concretes.
• This book is intended to be useful to the student and graduate engineer as well as a reference book for the site engineer. To this end the theoretical and practical considerations have been combined in a degree found necessary in the author's practical experience.

• Concrete text with a materials science orientation. Presents a unified view of concrete behavior in light of underlying chemical and physical principles.

• Kevin life began on the notorious streets of Chicago Illinois where he experienced at a young age the horrors of the world in one of it's purest form. After witnessing his childhood best friends lose his life in a drive-by shooting on the playground, Kevin's life and the way he viewed the world would never be the same even after moving away from the gang infested street of Chicago, Kevin and his brothers found themselves down South in a neighborhood known as Orange Mound in the midst of drugs, gangs, and murders. Quickly they learned up North or down South, when it rained, bloodstains appeared on the concrete.

• THE BOOK HAS BEEN REVISED WITH LATEST CODES AND ACCORDING TO LATEST TECH KNOW HOW. IS IN A PAPERBACK BRAND NEW CONDITION.

• The things real-estate Mike P aka Allen Pritchett will show you in this book are the new ways of thinking and how to retire at a young age with these concepts. Also how to get multiple flows of income and how important it is. He has made suggestions on ways to make money easier with hard work and persistence. He also shows you why he doesn't use a 401k because there are more profitable safer ways to invest in his opinion, he will present to you a form of self education that school doesn't teach, he shows you how he dropped out of school in 11th grade and made bad choices got in trouble and still was able to retire at the age of 33 only working a day job for 7 years of his entire life. By using some of these principles in this book. He shows you the worst thing you can do is work for money. Own your own business become an entrepreneur.
• Real-estate Mike P will show you that you can do it to. With a little motivations, persistence, determination, and education he teaches.

• Concrete-design and build with the construction material of the future With its virtually infinite plasticity, its constructional versatility, and its simple and straightforward building technology, concrete is the building material of the present. In addition to careful design and constructional planning, the invitation of bids and the building contract are the keys to a successful implementation. Building with Concrete provides the basic information needed to work with the material, with special attention to the architect?s role in planning and construction management. It describes current trends in concrete technology and the development of innovative new types of concrete, with firsthand reports by architects in the field. It also describes the new version of the DBV/BDZ data sheet "Exposed Concrete."
