Les villes européennes, souvent installées le long de fleuves ou sur des rivages maritimes, s'inquiètent de leur vulnérabilité aux inondations, un risque accru aujourd'hui par les dérèglements climatiques, la pression démographique et la compétitivité urbaine. La mise en valeur récréative et environnementale de ces rives par des projets urbains, en cherchant à mieux articuler la ville avec la présence de l'eau, entraîne des débats sur l'acceptabilité de ces aménagements potentiellement inondables. Entre prise en compte du risque et attractivité, de nouvelles stratégies innovantes voient le jour qui, tout en renforçant les techniques de prévention traditionnelles, proposent des dispositifs urbains et des modes de vie mieux adaptés à la présence de l'eau sur le territoire. Les exemples étudiés dans cet ouvrage, que ce soit à Rotterdam ou Dordrecht aux Pays-Bas, Hambourg ou Mayence en Allemagne, Dunkerque, Lyon, Marseille ou Toulouse en France, tout comme le regard de certains experts sur des cas plus lointains, témoignent de cette ambivalence. Ils montrent une forte capacité d'innovation de la part de ces villes pour gérer les ressources liées à l'eau, optimiser des stratégies fonctionnelles et temporelles d'aménagement du territoire, imaginer des dispositifs architecturaux et techniques résistants à l'eau, et mettre en valeur ces nouveaux paysages.

This book, Drying and Wetting of Building Materials and Components, provides a collection of recent contributions in the field of drying and wetting in porous building materials. The main benefit of the book is that it discusses some of the most important topics related to the drying and wetting processes, namely, innovations and trends in drying science and technology, drying mechanism and theory, equipment, advanced modelling, complex simulation and experimentation. At the same time, these topics will be going to the encounter of a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines. The book is divided in several chapters that intend to be a resume of the current state of knowledge for benefit of professional colleagues.

"American engineers have done astounding things to bend the Mississippi River to their will: forcing one of its tributaries to flow uphill, transforming over a thousand miles of roiling currents into a placid staircase of water, and wresting the lower half of the river apart from its floodplain. American law has aided and abetted these feats. But despite our best efforts, so-called 'natural disasters' continue to strike the Mississippi basin, as raging floodwaters decimate waterfront communities and abandoned towns literally crumble into the Gulf of Mexico. In some places, only the tombstones remain, leaning at odd angles as the underlying soil erodes away. Mississippi River Tragedies reveals that it is seductively deceptive?but horribly misleading?to call such catastrophes 'natural'" -- From Amazon.com.
