Maison d'édition: Publifye

Synopsis

The Friction Force explores the complex role of friction in mechanical engineering, highlighting its dual nature as both an essential enabler and a significant impediment. Without friction, everyday actions like walking or a car braking would be impossible. The book delves into how engineers manipulate friction for beneficial purposes, such as in locomotion systems and power transmission, while also detailing strategies to minimize its negative impacts, like wear and energy loss in internal combustion engines. The book examines the historical evolution of our comprehension of friction, from early observations to modern tribology. It emphasizes the importance of surface engineering and lubrication in managing friction. Divided into three sections, the book first introduces the fundamental principles of friction, then explores its beneficial applications, and finally examines strategies for minimizing it. Through experimental data and case studies, The Friction Force presents a holistic perspective, integrating theoretical concepts with practical engineering design principles for a comprehensive understanding.

 
This book offers a unique, cohesive framework by integrating friction's contradictory roles. It provides practical insights into engineering systems that effectively manage and utilize this force. By understanding and optimizing friction, engineers can create more robust, efficient, and sustainable mechanical systems.

Profits Over People: How...

Dr. Adrian Mehmedi

What if everything you thought you knew about healthcare was wrong?
In Profits Over People: How Healthcare Became Sickcare, Dr. Adrian Mehmedi exposes the truth about a broken medical system that prioritizes profits over patient well-being. From the rise of Big Pharma’s influence to the suppression of alternative medicine, this book reveals how corporate greed, flawed policies, and a pharmaceutical-driven agenda have transformed healthcare into a business that thrives on illness rather than healing.
🔹 Why are prescription drugs the go-to solution, even when they cause harm?
🔹 Why is the U.S. healthcare system the most expensive in the world—yet ranks among the worst in health outcomes?
🔹 How did we move from natural, holistic healing to a profit-driven sickcare model?A Deep Dive Into the Past, Present & Future of Medicine
Dr. Mehmedi takes readers on a compelling journey through history, unveiling how theFlexner Report, medical monopolization, and pharmaceutical lobbying shaped the modern healthcare system. He explores today’s crises, from skyrocketing medical costs to the overprescription of drugs—and reveals how we can reclaim our health.A Roadmap for a Better Future
This book isn’t just an exposé—it’s a call to action. With insights into holistic medicine, decentralized healthcare, regenerative practices, and emerging innovations, Profits Over People offers a vision for a new paradigm of healing—one where people, not profits, come first.
If you care about your health, your family’s well-being, or the future of medicine, this book is a must-read.

Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away. Anyone intent on crossing oceans must be ready to deal with it if it comes, as well it may. Even well-informed inshore and continental-shelf sailors will inevitably be caught out sooner or later. The object of this slim, quickly absorbed volume is to give everyone, whatever their passage-making aspirations, a sound brief so that whether they find themselves at the wrong end of a force-six blow along the coast, or confronting serious waves far out at sea, they are fully aware of their options for taking it in their stride.Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away.

My Beloved Brontosaurus - On the...

Riley Black

A Hudson Booksellers Staff Pick for the Best Books of 2013One of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten Spring Science BooksA Bookshop Santa Cruz Staff PickDinosaurs, with their awe-inspiring size, terrifying claws and teeth, and otherworldly abilities, occupy a sacred place in our childhoods. They loom over museum halls, thunder through movies, and are a fundamental part of our collective imagination. In My Beloved Brontosaurus, the dinosaur fanatic Brian Switek enriches the childlike sense of wonder these amazing creatures instill in us. Investigating the latest discoveries in paleontology, he breathes new life into old bones.Switek reunites us with these mysterious creatures as he visits desolate excavation sites and hallowed museum vaults, exploring everything from the sex life of Apatosaurus and T. rex's feather-laden body to just why dinosaurs vanished. (And of course, on his journey, he celebrates the book's titular hero, "Brontosaurus"—who suffered a second extinction when we learned he never existed at all—as a symbol of scientific progress.)With infectious enthusiasm, Switek questions what we've long held to be true about these beasts, weaving in stories from his obsession with dinosaurs, which started when he was just knee-high to a Stegosaurus. Endearing, surprising, and essential to our understanding of our own evolution and our place on Earth, My Beloved Brontosaurus is a book that dinosaur fans and anyone interested in scientific progress will cherish for years to come.
