Sinopsis

"Seaplane History" chronicles the fascinating evolution of water-capable aircraft from the early 20th century to the present day, revealing how these versatile machines revolutionized maritime operations, exploration, and warfare.Beginning with Glenn Curtiss's pioneering floatplane experiments in 1911, the book traces the remarkable journey from primitive wooden frames to sophisticated military patrol aircraft, examining three crucial developmental phases spanning over a century of aviation innovation. The narrative weaves together technical advancement and historical significance, highlighting how seaplanes bridged critical maritime gaps during both World Wars and served as essential platforms for anti-submarine warfare and search-and-rescue operations.Through detailed analysis of military archives, engineering documents, and pilot accounts, readers gain insight into the unique challenges of water-based aviation and the ingenious solutions that made seaplanes vital tools for long-distance transportation before conventional airports became widespread. Structured chronologically across three major sections, the book explores everything from early technical innovations and military applications to modern specialized roles in firefighting and remote access transportation.What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach, combining detailed technical specifications with firsthand accounts and recently declassified documents, making it an invaluable resource for military historians, aviation enthusiasts, and engineering professionals alike. The book concludes by examining contemporary seaplane developments and their potential future roles in maritime operations and disaster response.

    In Canopy of Titans, Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate examine the global importance of the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest that stretches from Northern California to Alaska. Their urgent and authoritative account sets out the threats facing a vital environmental resource, and celebrates the beauty and complexity of one of the world's great forests. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting, Koberstein and Applegate pull back the curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously diminished the rainforest's capacity to store carbon, and uncover industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a major ecological resource. Additionally, using an environmental justice perspective, Canopy of Titans shines a light on the Indigenous communities that have lived in the rainforest for millennia, and the impact forest policies have had on their lives.

    Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
     
     
     
    In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.
