What has to change for Africa to be able to respond to the challenges of modernity and globalization? Ta?i?wo? insists that Africa can renew itself only by fully engaging with democracy and capitalism and by mining its untapped intellectual resources. While many may not agree with Ta?i?wo?'s positions, they will be unable to ignore what he says. This is a bold exhortation for Africa to come into the 2 606 $aCivilization, Modern 606 $aPhilosophy, African 607 $aAfrica$xCivilization 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic policy 607 $aAfrica$xSocial conditions 607 $aAfrica$xSocial life and customs 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 615 0$aCivilization, Modern. 615 0$aPhilosophy, African. 676 $a960.33 700 $aTaiwo$b Olufemi$0919495 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792288103321 996 $aAfrica must be modern$93851827 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06357nam 2200793 a 450 001 9910817701103321 005 20240516063250.0 010 $a9786613240378 010 $a9781119972808 010 $a1119972809 010 $a9781283240376 010 $a1283240378 010 $a9781119971870 010 $a111997187X 010 $a9781119971887 010 $a1119971888 035 $a(CKB)2550000000045469 035 $a(EBL)697757 035 $a(OCoLC)756280830 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000539031 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11362272 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000539031 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10568581 035 $a(PQKB)10100228 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC697757 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL697757 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10494614 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL324037 035 $a(Perlego)1013912 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000045469 100 $a20110511d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMechanics of rubber bearings for seismic and vibration isolation /$fJames M.

It explores a unique & comprehensive combination of relevant topics, covering all prerequisite fundamental theory and providing a number of closed form solutions to various boundary value problems as well as a comprehensive historical overview on the use of this technique.The authors progress logically through increasingly complex analyses; many of the results presented are new and are needed for a proper understanding of these bearings and for the design and analysis of vibration isolation or seismic isolation systems. The advantages afforded by adopting these natural rubber systems"otheir cost effectiveness, simplicity, and reliability"is clearly explained to designers and users of this emerging technology, bringing into focus the design and specification of bearings for buildings, bridges and industrial structures"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"Mechanics of Rubber Bearings collates in a compact form all of the information on the mechanics of the increasingly important technology of multi-layer rubber bearings"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSeismic waves$xDamping 606 $aVibration 606 $aRubber bearings 615 0$aSeismic waves$xDamping. 615 0$aVibration. 615 0$aRubber bearings. 676 $a620.3/7 686 $aTEC009020$2bisacsh 700 $aKelly$b James M$043716 701 $aKonstantinidis$b Dimitrios$01652974 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817701103321 996 $aMechanics of rubber bearings for seismic and vibration isolation$94003965 997 $aUNINA
