Modularization is a philosophy change! And along with that change, comes the need to understand the implementation requirements and project mindset adjustments that impact and influence all aspects of the modular project. To accomplish this, the book provides a complete (from beginning to end) identification and evaluation of the differences that make a modular project unique, starting with the very basics in terms of definitions and setting the groundwork of expectations by identifying benefits and challenges. Then, because the journey is as important as the destination, the reader is guided through the various project phases in a manner that reflects how they would be addressed in the workplace. From the very earliest identification of concepts, through early assessment and selection of the optimal choice to be finally carried into detailed design, the reader is acquainted with each phase of the development process, including explanations and relevant suggestions for many of the questions and issues that typically come up.  A perfect reference for professional and technical leaders when developing the early, critical planning phases of modular projects, this guide offers useful examples and details on the fundamentals required to get a modular project started correctly and keep it on track. And, for those whom this is not their first foray into modular project management, this guide includes suggestions, examples, and\/or lessons learned to make the subsequent module projects easier to implement.  Recognized industry experts Michael Kluck and Dr. Jin Ouk Choi have authored this guide to modularization that is ideal for owners, contractors, project management, engineers, project controls, and procurementin fact, anyone interested in improving current construction project management practices. In addition, its thought-provoking examples and project case studies provide the perfect platform for its instructional use in teaching modular concepts. Written from the perspective of both the Client\/Owner and the EPC Contractor, this guide provides useful information needed for initial project management setup and technical details useful to working functional groups within the project. As such, it is truly a universal guide that can provide personnel at all levels within the project with the information needed to make project implementation more seamless. This book is written in terms of the large-scale industrial modularization project, but the steps and process are equally applicable to small-scale projects and projects outside the industrial construction realm. Some of the topics covered in this guide include: The basics (to set a basis for major topic presentations)Module configurations (good, bad, and ugly)A deep dive into modularization business case Module team and project interactionsModule execution planning and timingSuccess factors, pitfalls and avoidanceA walk through the module project A modular project case exercise  tying it all togetherStandardization  the next stepWhat the future holds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 What Is Modularization? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Advantages and Challenges of Modularization 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Industry Status on Modularization 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 What Is a Module? 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 The Business Case for Modularization 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 The Module Team and Execution Plan Differences 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Key Critical Success Factors for Modular Project Success 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 The Fabrication Yard 119\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Module Considerations by Project Group 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 A Practical Module Development Process 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Modularization Application Case Study Exercise 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Standardization 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 Innovative Technologies for Modularization 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Moving Forward 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Key Literature and Resources on Modularization 213\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 225\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48738368979287,"sku":"9781119824718","price":51.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119824718.jpg?v=1723811984"},{"product_id":"helical-piles-9780470404799","title":"Helical Piles","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLess invasive than a traditional poured foundation, using helical piles as a foundation gains points in the USGBC's LEED rating system, making this an important green building technology.

Tweedale tells how an ideology in the West energized an economic expansion that has led to ecological disaster. He takes us back to the rise of cities and autocratic rulers, analyzing how respect for custom and tradition gave way to the dominance of top-down rational planning and organization. Then in response came a highly attractive myth of an eventual future rid of all of humankind's ills, one in which life would be “made wonderful.” Originating in Zoroastrianism and, through Jewish apocalyptic works, flowing into early Christianity, this myth produced utopian beliefs that set the West apart from the other civilizations. Tweedale shows how these beliefs became popular among Western elites in the early modern period and eventually resulted in the distinctly Western doctrine of progress. This doctrine, an almost religious faith in the capacity of science and technology to improve human life, released economic expansion from traditional constraints and has led to our current environmental emergency. Exploring sources from philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas, Making Wonderful is for all readers who are intellectually curious about the roots of our eco-catastrophe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Making Wonderful is a vast, multi-disciplinary analysis of the ideological roots of the prevailing “eco-catastrophe” that locates it in certain dramatic shifts in the climate of ideas in European and European-colonial cultures. Martin M. Tweedale makes a compelling claim for the power of ideology and its cultural imaginary in his account of the roots of the ecological crisis.\" Jason M. Wirth, Seattle University\u003cbr\u003e\"Making Wonderful stands out both for the breadth of historical scholarship and for the masterful manner in which Martin M. Tweedale shows how a plurality of distinct ideas came together to form an ideational whole whose effects far exceed those of its parts.\" Philip Rose, University of Windsor\u003cbr\u003e\"The madness that drove us to the brink of making the only planet we have unlivable for our descendants has its ultimate origin, Tweedale tells us, in the rise of cities in Mesopotamia some 6,000 years ago....

slippery concept has become a secular deity throughout the modern industrial world. We make terrible sacrifices in its name: of our money, our health, and our planet. That deity is nature itself.  From supermarket shoppers to evolutionary biologists, from atheists to pastors, from Alex Jones to Gwyneth Paltrow, we are all prone to the intuitive faith that life should be lived 'naturally'.  But nature can't teach us how to live. If we try to stick to its imagined commands, eschewing human artifice in pursuit of Edenic purity, we jeopardise the environment, our health, and our society. (We also waste a lot of money on pots of weird slime). It is time to accept our profound responsibility to shape the world of which our technology and our selves are wholly a part.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn indispensable read ...

What  Levinovitz critiques is what he sees as a religious attitude towards  nature. An appeal to natural goodness - with \"unnatural\" as its evil  twin - is among the most influential arguments in all human thought,  ancient and modern, east and west. -- Patrick Barkham * Guardian *\u003cbr\u003eThis is important stuff, as evidenced every time someone discusses the supposed naturalness and thus supposed inevitability of some appalling human behavior. [Natural] is a superb book­ - fascinating, accessible, elegantly written, and deeply thought-provoking. -- Robert M. Sapolsky * author of Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst *\u003cbr\u003eIn a fascinating tour across time, cultures, and ideas, Alan Levinovitz shows us how the worship of an abstract idea of nature can lead us astray in everything from our health to the laws we pass and even how we structure our governments and our way of life.

The volume also includes responses by Priest and an intellectual biography, describing some of the life-experiences which caused Priest to become interested in philosophy and to make the transition from existentialism to metaphysics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenedikt Paul Göcke and Ralph Stefan Weir : Introduction —\u003ci\u003eStephen Priest :\u003c\/i\u003e From Existentialism to Metaphysics: An Intellectual Autobiography —\u003ci\u003eTimothy Williamson :\u003c\/i\u003e Armchair Philosophy —\u003ci\u003eMikołaj Sławkowski- Rode : \u003c\/i\u003eThe Distinction in Question: The Analytic\/ Continental Divide in Philosophy —\u003ci\u003eDaniel Kodaj : \u003c\/i\u003eThe Metaphysical Poverty of Naturalism —\u003ci\u003eBrian Elliott :\u003c\/i\u003e Questioning Oneself —\u003ci\u003eImola Atkins :\u003c\/i\u003e Mysticism and Philosophy —\u003ci\u003eRalph Stefan Weir :\u003c\/i\u003e Private Language and the Mind as Absolute Interiority —\u003ci\u003eHoward Robinson : \u003c\/i\u003eJohn Foster’s and Michael Dummett’s Arguments for Idealism —\u003ci\u003eShogo Shimizu : \u003c\/i\u003eOn the Knowledge That This Human Being Is Uniquely Unique —\u003ci\u003eSamuel Hughes :\u003c\/i\u003e Priest on Religious Experience and the Soul —\u003ci\u003eChristian Helmut Wenzel :\u003c\/i\u003e Kant and Quantum Physics on Freedom and Determinism —\u003ci\u003eBenedikt Paul Göcke :\u003c\/i\u003e Itinerarium Mentis in Deum: The Philosophy of Stephen Priest as Mystical Theology —\u003ci\u003eMartin Pickup :\u003c\/i\u003e The Problem of Change Restored —\u003ci\u003eMichael Inwood :\u003c\/i\u003e Bergson on Nothing —\u003ci\u003eNicholas Waghorn :\u003c\/i\u003e What is the Meaning of Life?’ A Philosophical Question with a Theological Answer? —\u003ci\u003eKerry Priest :\u003c\/i\u003e Fifteen Metaphysical Poems —\u003ci\u003eStephen Priest :\u003c\/i\u003e Replies — \u003cb\u003eNotes on Contributors.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044534616407,"sku":"9783631860939","price":51.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"managing-construction-technology-9781119881704","title":"Managing Construction Technology","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138234679639,"sku":"9781119881704","price":58.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119881704.jpg?v=1751918554"},{"product_id":"voltaire-and-the-socinians-9780729400176","title":"Voltaire and the Socinians","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA note on quotations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI.

Influenced by the new power of scientific inquiry, humankind appropriated various divine attributes one after the other, including omnipotence and omniscience, but eventually even aiming toward the realization of individual, physical immortality, and thus aspiring to equality with God.  This aspiration, expressed in the ideas of Vladimir Soloviev, Nikolai Fedorov and in the renewed concepts of Gnosticism, brought such different writers as Maxim Gorky, Alexander Blok, Fedor Sologub, Nikolai Ognev and Nikolai Zabolotsky together in a single space of the myth of the final victory over death.","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359907086679,"sku":"9781644693193","price":31.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781644693193.jpg?v=1791475514"},{"product_id":"idolatry-a-contemporary-jewish-conversation-9798887191379","title":"Idolatry: A Contemporary Jewish Conversation","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eIdolatry, or its Hebrew equivalent \u003ci\u003eAvodah Zarah\u003c\/i\u003e¸ is a fundamental feature of a Jewish view of other religions.

In spelling out the multitude of theoretical and practical dimensions of this discussion, \u003ci\u003eIdolatry: A Contemporary Jewish Conversation \u003c\/i\u003epowerfully challenges Jews and non-Jews alike to revisit the notion of idolatry, and rediscover its importance as a critical category of thought.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e— Tamar Ross, Professor Emerita, Department of Jewish Philosophy, Bar Ilan University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Alon Goshen-Gottstein has put together a sterling volume of outstanding contributors for new directions for the concept of ‘idolatry’ in Jewish thought.

Nearly all religions and philosophies consider it awful. But what is idolatry and why is it ‘awful’? That debate is the core of this fascinating book. Is it wrong when we do not put God at the center of the universe and our lives? But what is really the problem? Does God really mind? Or is idolatry forbidden because it is the source for great evil and immorality? If so, what about idol worship or atheism that does not lead to evil and in fact encourages the good? Or is this a contradiction in terms? Rabbi Dr. Alon Goshen Gottstein has managed to pull together some of the greatest religious thinkers of our time to try to respond to these questions.
