Sommario/riassunto

Throughout the ages, humans have applied knowledge and know-how to master materials. They have gone from materials encountered by chance available in their environment to customized materials designed to meet multi-criteria specifications. Today, owing particularly to digital modelling on different scales, we are able to design high-performance materials, combining various classes of materials, in controlled geometries and dimensions. These innovation strategies - architectured or bio-inspired materials - have been integrated in many industrial sectors (cars, aeronautics, biomedical sciences, etc.).

Sommario/riassunto

In recent years, there has been a proliferation of theoretical and empirical scholarship on how issues of human separateness, or independence, and issues of human connectedness, or interdependence, are played out in diverse cultural contexts. Despite agreement on the value of understanding culture and development in



terms of independence and interdependence, many issues remain open for continued theoretical refinement and empirical analysis.This book presents a fresh conceptualization which holds that independence and interdependence are multifaceted and inseparable dimensions of human
