This book examines the Roman, Saxon and Norman origins of the medieval bridge, including its broader national and international context, and considers the engineering techniques and social background that led to its development during the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. A final chapter considers the survival of medieval bridges into the twentieth century.

<p>Everyone involved in a building project wants to achieve a better building but design quality means different things to clients, users, architects, cost consultants and contractors. Negotiating design priorities is an important part of the development process.<br></p>
<p>The Design Quality Manual helps give an objective evaluation of the qualitative aspects of design. Matrices with five defined levels of quality have been developed that cover the key areas of architecture, environmental engineering, user comfort conditions, whole-life costs, detail design and user satisfaction. These can be scored by a visual survey and professional judgement and then augmented by scientific measurement where possible (e.g. temperature, lighting and sound levels). The resultant scores allow comparisons in terms of overall and specific aspects of building performance and design quality.<br></p> <p>The Manual covers schools, hospitals and housing and offers a set of criteria by which to judge a broad range of design values; it focuses the design team on the needs of the end user and on the overall building performance.</p>

<p><h2>Are you the kind of highly sensitive person who feels agonized in someone's grief or trauma, crouching down to bestow love for the roadside puppy, or live through the pain or loss in a fictional TV show?</h2> <p><br /></p> <h2><u>Then you are definitely an empath.</u></h2> <p><br /></p> <h3>Empathy&nbsp;is a term used to describe an intrinsic trait to recognize and share the emotions of someone else. Empathy is an evolutionary trait bearing a link with some other primates like dogs and rats. Rudimentary empathy starts developing in infants at the age of 2 with having an emotional response corresponding to that of another person.&nbsp;<br /> An empath is a person with the innate ability to absorb emotions or sentiments of others.<br /> Empaths find it difficult to be in a relationship as can't fully experience emotional freedom with someone else as the traditional paradigm is never defined. They need their personal space to avoid feeling subdued or getting engulfed. Empaths are very sensitive, sometimes they do seek validation from friends and close ones and end up being stabbed with humiliation, so they disguise themselves with indifference and independence.&nbsp;<br /> Empaths build a wall around themselves mostly finding it difficult to dissolve socially and find solace and joy spending time alone on their own. Another scientific reason is its increased dopamine sensitivity.<br /> Narcissism&nbsp;is the pursuit of gratification from egotistic admiration of one's idolized self-image and attributes. The best ways to deal with a narcissist is to identify them first, their limitations, and then avoid their mind games, determine if an intervention works, and deal with compassion always.<br /> An empath should learn to heal self first before healing others and stop being an emotional sponge. An empath should cut connections from all negative thought forms and be in the presence of like-minded, uplifting, positive people. Also, learn to meditate and control your mind and body. Another suggestive method is a sea salt bath and use of protective stones.&nbsp;</h3> <h2><br /> At this point in your life, if you feel that you are an empath and that you need to relieve yourself off from the mental constraints, you will have to read this book!&nbsp;</h2> <p><br /></p> <h2><u>This book is the definitive guide to stop absorbing negative energy, deal with narcissistic people, control your emotions and develop self-confidence.</u></h2> <p><br /></p> <h2>You will also learn the following:</h2> <ul> <li> <h3>The scientific understanding of being an Empath</h3> </li> <li> <h3>The different types of Empath</h3> </li> <li> <h3>How to identify yourself as an Empath</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Your empathetic abilities</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Why Empaths need time alone</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Deal with relationships</h3> </li> <li> <h3>The power of positivity</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Leave your comfort zone</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Identifying narcissists</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Avoid getting hurt emotionally</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Meditate your chakras</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Connect to nature</h3> </li> <li> <h3>Tips to empathize with anyone</h3> </li> </ul> <h1>Would you like to know more?&nbsp;</h1> <h2><br /> Buy this book, immediately to be the proud confident empath emotionally unharmed by society.<br /></h2> <p><br /></p> <h1><u>Scroll up to the top and select the buy now button!</u></h1></p>

<p>Despite a resurgence in Scottish fort studies, few sites have been investigated, and fewer still at the scale reported in this volume. Over 2014-17, Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, working with AOC Archaeology Group, excavated three hilltop forts on the Tay estuary to explore both their enclosing works and internal buildings, and uncovered an impressive assemblage of small finds. At Moredun fort on Moncreiffe Hill, a previously unknown monumental roundhouse, a rare La Tene bird-head brooch, and evidence of shale bangle industry were uncovered. At Castle Law, Abernethy, excavated in the 1890s and the type-site of Childe's 'Abernethy complex', re-excavation prompted reassessment of the artefacts from original excavations to reveal new evidence of the deposition of artefacts and animal bones within its cistern. Excavation of the enclosing works of these sites, and Moncreiffe fort, suggest an evolution of fort defences from simple earth and stone ramparts to massive timber-laced walls - the murus Gallicus described by Caesar - reflecting high status sites with restricted access for a social elite. Hillforts of The Tay was part of the Tay Landscape Partnership Scheme, a community heritage initiative and the results of this citizen science project make a significant contribution to establishing Tayside as a well-studied area for the site type both within Scotland, and further afield.</p>
