FLUID POWER CONTROL: HYDRAULICS AND PNEUMATICS
Ahmed Abu Hanieh, Birzeit University, Palestine
ISBN-13: 978-1-907343-14-8
215 pages - Softback - January 2012
£35.00/$55.00
This book attempts to compromise between theoretical modelling and practical understanding of fluid power systems by using modern control theory based on implementing Newton’s second law in second order differential equations transformed into direct relationships between inputs and outputs via transfer functions or state space approach.

THE FUTURE OF POST-HUMAN ARCHITECTURE: A PREFACE TO A NEW THEORY OF FORM AND FUNCTION
Peter Baofu (USA)
ISBN-13: 978-1-907343-20-9
610 pages - Hardback - January 2012
£50.00/$80.00
This book provides an alternative (better) way to understand the future of architecture, especially in the dialectic context of form and function-while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favoring any one of them (nor integrating them, since they are not necessarily compatible with each other).

Differently put, this book offers a new theory (that is, the transcendent theory of architecture) to go beyond the existing approaches in a novel way.

If successful, this seminal project is to fundamentally change the way that we think about architecture, from the combined perspectives of the mind, nature, society, and culture, with enormous implications for the human future and what the author originally called its "post-human" fate
