Sinossi

"The Human Hand" explores the hand's critical role in human evolution, tool-making, and cognitive development. It argues that the hand is not just a product of evolution but an active driver, shaping our intelligence and technological advancements. The book emphasizes the hand's intricate anatomy, revealing how its unique biomechanics enabled the creation and use of tools, which then spurred further cognitive and physical evolution. Consider the precision grip, a defining feature of the human hand, which allows for unparalleled object manipulation—a capability that has fueled innovation across art, science, and technology. The book begins with hand anatomy, biomechanics, and evolutionary history. It then investigates the hand's role in tool-making and fine motor skills, using examples of craftsmanship across cultures. Finally, it analyzes the hand's influence on human cognition and culture, covering language, art, and technology, and also addresses hand injuries and rehabilitation. By synthesizing anatomical studies, paleontological evidence, and cognitive research, the book demonstrates the hand's profound impact on what makes us human.

    Welcome to a night of Deep Refreshing Sleep. 
    The Audiobook gives you a bundle of two 12 hour programs. 
    The programs begin after a short narration of guided imagery to prepare you for sleep. 
    Program One: 12 hours of the sounds of Calming Rain, Distant Thunder and the Gentle Tones of Classical Music. 
    Program Two: 10 hours of just the sounds of Calming Rain and Distant Thunder without the classical music. 
    The classical musical tones are serene arrangements of the most-loved, composers: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and more. 
    The producer of the audiobook is an award-winning sound designer and composer. When he and his wife struggled with sleep apnea, he searched for an audio program that would help. "I mostly found cheap sound effects with repetitive, looping tones. Granted, my background makes me a little picky, but I found these programs more annoying than relaxing." 
    So he set out to record the best sounds he could find. The ocean waves, rain, thunder, streams and waterfalls are all original recordings. 
    Next, he experimented with tones. This program is the first to include mellow arrangements of beautiful classical music. "I have produced over twenty experimental programs now and have had sleep doctors, patients, as well as my own friends and family members try them on. This current series of "Sleep Sounds" has been very well received and has been proven to be the most effective by the largest number of people."

  • Introduction to Power System Protection - cover

    Introduction to Power System...

    Power system protection systems have three basic components: Instrument transformers, Relays, Circuit breakers
    
    The function of the CT is to reproduce in its secondary winding a current I' that is proportional to the primary current I. The CT converts primary currents in the kiloamp range to secondary currents in the 0–5 ampere range for convenience of measurement.
    
    The function of the relay is to discriminate between normal operation and fault conditions. The OC relay in Figure 2 has an operating coil, which is connected to the CT secondary winding, and a set of contacts. When |I'| exceeds a specified ''pickup'' value, the operating coil causes the normally open contacts to close. When the relay contacts close, the trip coil of the circuit breaker is energized, which then causes the circuit breaker to open.
    
    System-protection components have the following design criteria:
    • Reliability: Operate dependably when fault conditions occur, even after remaining idle for months or years. Failure to do so may result in costly damages.
    • Selectivity: Avoid unnecessary, false trips.
    • Speed: Operate rapidly to minimize fault duration and equipment damage. Any intentional time delays should be precise.
    • Economy: Provide maximum protection at minimum cost.
    • Simplicity: Minimize protection equipment and circuitry.
    
    Since it is impossible to satisfy all these criteria simultaneously, compromises must be made in system protection.
    
    The book consists from the following sections:
    1. Chapter 1: Power System Faults:
    2. Chapter 2: Instrument Transformers.
    3. Chapter 3: Overcurrent and Earth Fault Protection Relays.
    4. Chapter 4: Radial System Protection.
    5. Chapter 5: Zones of Protection.
    6. Chapter 6: Differential Relays.
    7. Chapter 7: Distance Relays.
    8. Chapter 8: Transformer Protection.
    9. Chapter 9: Generator Protection.
    10. Chapter 10: Busbar Protection.
    11. Chapter 11: Circuit Breakers.
    12. Chapter 12: Fuses.
    13. Chapter 13: References.
