Engineering Reality offers unprecedented insights into the power of environmental impact assessments in engineering a reality favourable to any investment, focusing on the highly contested environmental study of a large hydroelectric dam project in southern Colombia, El Quimbo. The inclusion of environmental impact assessments to project proposals of environmental influence has been an undeniably important step to environmental governance in many countries around the world. Regarding the science behind these studies as objective and their results as the closest in representing reality, however, is misleading. Many activists and scholars made it their mission to uncover the limitations and work towards filling the gaps. Participation processes are considered key to any successful evaluation, but local knowledges and alternative perspectives are still often disqualified through more widely accepted scientific methods. Engineering Reality systematically walks through and accounts for the shortcomings and injustices associated with environmental monitoring. It compares the reality as presented in the dam’s environmental impact study with first-hand accounts from the local and affected populations and observations gathered through two periods of fieldwork in 2012 (before) and 2016-17 (after the dam started operating). It explores how the knowledge of the study was used politically and to what end. Bringing the findings in conversation with the wider environmental impact assessment literature, the book proposes a new framework to assess energy projects -Energy Data Justice- that regards the environmental impact assessment a strictly political tool aimed at reaching the just energy transition in Colombia and worldwide.

This book is designed as a learning tool to help the aspiring engineer learn the language of engineering graphics. In this regard, this book is hardly unique, as there have been literally hundreds of books published in the past that had a similar goal. The main challenge faced by engineering graphics books comes from the difficulty of representing and describing three dimensional information on paper, which is a consequence of the two dimensional nature of printed materials. What makes this book invaluable is the use of Augmented Reality, a technology that will allow you to escape the limitations of traditional materials enabling you, the student, to truly visualize the objects being described in full 3D. To take full advantage of this book you will need a smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera, along with the apps provided.* Many parts of the book are linked to specific augmented reality content through a series of black and white markers that have been seamlessly integrated throughout the pages. In order to experience the content, your device’s camera must be pointed at these markers. The main marker, available at the beginning of the book, is used to interact with the augmented reality models, which will be rendered in real time in your device’s screen. * If you do not have an iOS or Android device, or a computer with a webcam, SOLIDWORKS files of the models used throughout the book are available for download. In addition, STL files are available so the models can be opened using your solid modeling CAD package of choice or printed using a 3D printer.

Analytic philosophers once pantomimed physics, trying to understand the world by breaking it down. Thinkers from the Darwinian sciences now pose alternatives to such reductionism. Wimsatt argues that today’s scientists seek to atomize phenomena only to understand how entities, events, and processes articulate at different levels.

Virtual and Augmented Reality have existed for a long time but were stuck to the research world or to some large manufacturing companies. With the appearance of low-cost devices, it is expected a number of new applications, including for the general audience. This book aims at making a statement about those novelties as well as distinguishing them from the complexes challenges they raise by proposing real use cases, replacing those recent evolutions through the VR/AR dynamic and by providing some perspective for the years to come.

A Universal System Developer's Guide to Operating the Human Condition and Experience of Life, the Universe & Everything...When we first directed SELF to form and inhabit the current Human Condition of Reality Experience, we apparently forgot to pack the 'Operator's Manual' for a journey in this existence. Participation in any other kind of 'system' or 'game' – or even the use of another type of 'vehicle', which is what the 'physical body' is for the Human Condition – they all involve having had access to some proper “rulebook” or “guide” prior.So – what happened to this one?REALITY ENGINEERING -- Based on the author's own privately offered lecture-workshop series in 2008–9, the long-anticipated breakthrough literary contribution from the underground legend, Joshua Free.A powerfully unique presentation of the 'Systemology of Reality', drawing from a 6,000+ year well-spring of 'Mystery School' teachings, philosophy, religion and science, this 'New' groundbreaking 'holistic' approach – the ultimate wide-angle view meta-system of understanding beyond (and yet encompassing) all other systems of knowledge and belief. “It's not a question of what you are seeing but why you are seeing it...”'REALITY ENGINEERING' (Systemology 2.0) demonstrates a superior knowledge and fundamental Universal Truth about:YOU,YOUR LIFE EXISTENCE,YOUR EXPERIENCE OF REALITY.Using analogy, models, 100 diagrams & figures and language free of any particular philosophic, scientific or religious discipline, Reality Engineering is easy to understand even with no previous background or additional materials – immediately you can start to understand the concepts and use this book to realize the highest ideal of the “Human Condition” into your life.Methods of self-knowledge, self-actualization, reaching a self-honest or “unconditioned” Reality Experience... These and other fundamentals have been kept beneath the 'surface' of public awareness by those in possession of this information and practiced skills of using it to influence the Realm: the conditions and programs – the function and ability of the Human Vehicle to perceive the 'world', the 'Realm'... Reality...Even if you have never before tried or successfully applied the Secret Knowledge of the Ages, used and hidden by the true “Reality Engineers” (whatever guise they may clad themselves in) throughout history – the self-guiding self-defining lessons contained in this book capture the supreme essence of the highest intellectual and mystical levels of 'human conditional' understanding and awareness using a uniquely developed method of models and language to communicate the most advanced spiritual technology in existence on the planet.NexGen Systemology – 2.0 System Logics = Knowledge of how all the conceivably fragmented parts of Reality & Existence are interconnected and influentially interdependent to compose a whole All-as-One.Invite this amazing Reality Engineering knowledge and awareness of energetic dynamics into your life and discover:-How YOU experience apparent reality day-to day...-Why some people seem BLESSED or GIFTED with MAGICAL POWER...-How UNSEEN energetic forces influence observable reality...-Why HUMANS feel, think and behave as they do and how this programming can be altered...Beautifully engineered pages describe a methodology for holistic existence that includes:-How to increase awareness & intelligence... (with 'Existential Epistemology')-How to improve communication & persuasion... (with 'System Energetics')-How to heighten self-esteem & worldly success... (with 'Self-Honest Awareness')-How to expand perceptions of reality potentiality... (with '21st Century Metaphysics')-How to (re)program your personality and others... (with 'Cosmic Encoding Dynamics')-How to self-direct behavior pattern correction... (with 'Dynamic Phenomenology')-How to self-actualize designing your destiny... (with 'Universal Law Energetic Flow')

This book illuminates what engineering is and how it relates to other disciplines such as art, architecture, law, economics, science, technology, and even religion. The author explains, from an intrinsic as well as descriptive perspective, why engineering is essential for our collective well-being, and how, like medicine, it is undertaken by people, and for people, to improve the human condition. He brings out the 'magic' of engineering practice as well as addressing the darker aspects such as warfare and the misuse of the internet. A too commonly held view assumes that the practice of engineers is a cold, purely quantitative and wholly technical enterprise of applying know science, and devoid of creativity or aestheticism. In 2013 the United States National Academy of Engineering launched a campaign called “Changing the Conversation, Messages for Improving Public Understanding of Engineering” with four messages to impart about engineers: that they make a world of difference; are creative problem solvers; that they help shape the future, and are essential to health, happiness, and safety. In this volume, Professor Blockley incorporate these messages into an engaging exposition of engineering accomplishment in all of its evolving diversity, from the technician to the academic research engineer, illustrating the continuum of thinking and purpose from the fixer of the gas boiler to the designers of the A380 and the iPhone.
