Barbed Wire Capitalism and the Enclosure of the Commons A call to transform the way we think about property this book examines how capitalism has from its origins sought to enclose or privatize the commons or land and other forms of property that had been viewed as communally owned and argues that neoliberal economic policies and the corporate takeovers of urban spaces prisons schools the mass media farms and natural resources have failed to serve the public interest. A study of corporate globalization and the continuation of empire after the era of political decolonization it begins with the fencing of the West starting in the 1870s and moves to examine recent phenomena such as urbanization mass incarceration financialization and the treatment of people as commodities in the context of the longue durée of land enclosures empire and capitalism. Highlighting the threatened elimination of the public domain as a result of corporate efforts to privatize public utilities prisons schools forests seeds and just about everything else that can yield a profit Barbed Wire: Capitalism and the Enclosure of the Commons asks what it would mean if instead of either private or public property our most fundamental conception of property were communal. Would a redefinition of property from a community perspective lead us beyond the military-industrial complex? | Barbed Wire Capitalism and the Enclosure of the Commons GBP 36.99 1

Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2 The design of structures in general and prestressed concrete structures in particular requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and in doing so provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel with numerous worked examples. However where the design requirements are code specific this book refers to the provisions of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and where possible the notation is the same as in Eurocode 2. A parallel volume is written to the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures AS3600-2009. The text runs from an introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits senior undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers who want comprehensive introduction to the design of prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition but the content has been extensively re-organised and considerably expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures actions and loads; prestressing systems and construction requirements; connections and detailing; and design concepts for prestressed concrete bridges. The topic of serviceability is developed extensively throughout. All the authors have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of prestressed concrete structures for over thirty-five years and the proposed new edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The work has also gained much from Professor Gilbert active and long-time involvement in the development of standards for concrete buildings and concrete bridges. | Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2 GBP 35.99 1

The Correspondence of H.G. Wells Volume 2 1904–1918 This collection of H. G. Wells's correspondence draws on over 50 archives and libraries worldwide including the papers of Wells's daughter by Amber Reeves. The book contains over 2 000 letters and while a few are business – to publishers agents and secretaries – the majority are much more personal. Wells's private correspondence extends from letters to President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and A. J. Balfour to persons such as ‘Mark Benney’ who wrote novels based on his life in the slums and his time in prison. There is correspondence too with his many female friends and lovers among them Rebecca West Eileen Power Gertrude Stein Marie Stopes Lilah MacCarthy and Dorothy Richardson. For example a letter from Moura Budberg with whom Wells had a long-standing affair which announces that she is pregnant by him and about to have an abortion reveals how an advocate of birth control is himself caught out. Wells also enjoyed correspondence with the press particularly during the two World Wars and with various BBC officials and people who worked on his films. Some of his letters on the controversies of free love socialism birth control the Fabian Society and the nature of the curriculum of the new London University in the 1890s are included. Interspersed chronologically with Wells's letters is a small selection of about 40 letters to Wells where letters from him are not extant. Among these are letters from Ray Lankester Joseph Conrad C. G. Jung Trotsky Hedy Gatternigg (the woman who attempted suicide in Wells's flat) and J. C. Smuts. The letters are arranged in these periods: Volume 1 1878–1900; Volume 2 1901–1912; Volume 3 1913–1930; and Volume 4 1930–1946. H. G. Wells's works include The Time Machine (1895) The Invisible Man (1897) The War of the Worlds (1898) The History of Mr Polly (1910) and A Short History of the World (1922). | The Correspondence of H.
