Tradition and the Individual Talent

Ruth E Weiner, Robin A. Matthews, 2003

Everything seems to matter in environmental engineering. The social sciences and humanities, as well as the natural sciences, can be as important to the practice of environmental engineering as classical engineering skills. Many environmental engineers find this combination of skills and disciplines, with its inherent breadth, both challenging and rewarding. In universities, however, inclusion of these disciplines often requires the environmental engineering student to cross discipline and department boundaries. Deciding what to include in an introductory environmental engineering book is critical but difficult, and this difficulty has been enhanced by the growth of environmental engineering since the first edition of this book. The text is organized into areas important to all environmental engineers: water resources, air quality, solid and hazardous wastes (including radioactive wastes), and noise. Chapters on environmental impact assessment and on risk analysis are also included. Any text on environmental engineering is somewhat dated by the time of publication, because the field is moving and changing rapidly. We have included those fundamental topics and principles on which the practice of environmental engineering is grounded, illustrating them with contemporary examples. We have incorporated emerging issues, such as global climate change and the controversy over the linear nonthreshold theory, whenever possible. This book is intended for engineering students who are grounded in basic physics, chemistry, and biology, and who have already been introduced to fluid mechanics. The material presented can readily be covered in a one-semester course.

En las siguientes páginas presentamos las dimensiones más importantes del planteamiento heideggeriano sobre la cuestión de la técnica, para mostrar su pertinencia y su relación con los desarrollos contemporáneos relativos a la problemática de la tecnicidad originaria y de la llamada miseria simbólica de las sociedades posindustriales contemporáneas. Para tal efecto, nos detenemos en dicha formulación apuntando a sus alcances en el ámbito de la política y la estética, bajo el presupuesto de que una imagen moderna de la técnica coincide con una imagen subjetiva y estetizante del arte y con un proceso permanente de tecnificación de la política; sin embargo, no desarrollaremos estas dimensiones, dejándolas solo indicadas para un desarrollo posterior. Concluimos retomando la cuestión del habitar planteado por Heidegger como instancia ejemplar de su pensamiento

This study investigates morphological differences between flakes produced via " core and flake " technologies and those resulting from bifacial shaping strategies. We investigate systematic variation between two technological groups of flakes using experimentally produced assemblages, and then apply the experimental model to the Cutting 10 Mid-Pleistocene archaeological collection from Elandsfontein, South Africa. We argue that a specific set of independent variables—and their interactions—including external platform angle, platform depth, measures of thickness variance and flake curvature should distinguish between these two technological groups. The role of these variables in technological group separation was further investigated using the Generalized Linear Model as well as Linear Discrimi-nant Analysis. The Discriminant model was used to classify archaeological flakes from the Cutting 10 locality in terms of their probability of association, within either experimentally developed technological group. The results indicate that the selected independent variables play a central role in separating core and flake from bifacial technologies. Thickness even-ness and curvature had the greatest effect sizes in both the Generalized Linear and Dis-criminant models. Interestingly the interaction between thickness evenness and platform depth was significant and played an important role in influencing technological group membership. The identified interaction emphasizes the complexity in attempting to distinguish flake production strategies based on flake morphological attributes. The results of the dis-criminant function analysis demonstrate that the majority of flakes at the Cutting 10 locality were not associated with the production of the numerous Large Cutting Tools found at the site, which corresponds with previous suggestions regarding technological behaviors reflected in this assemblage.
