Sinossi

Tunnel Facts explores the fascinating world of underground infrastructure, revealing the technology and architectural achievements behind tunnels vital to modern society. The book illuminates how tunnels overcome geographical barriers, enabling efficient transportation and utility networks, especially as urbanization increases.

 
Did you know that modern tunnel engineering builds upon centuries of experience, adapting to meet growing societal and environmental demands? Or that geological surveying, soil mechanics, and structural engineering principles are basic concepts for understanding tunnel construction?

 
The book progresses logically, starting with fundamental tunneling concepts like the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) and Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). It then showcases case studies of iconic tunnels such as the Channel Tunnel and Gotthard Base Tunnel, highlighting engineering challenges and breakthroughs.

 
Finally, it discusses emerging trends like automation and sustainable construction. A unique aspect is its emphasis on balancing technological innovation with environmental sustainability, presenting a balanced view of the benefits and risks of large-scale tunnel projects.

 
Tunnel Facts argues that tunnel engineering represents a critical intersection of technological innovation, environmental awareness, and societal need.

    Risk management is a primary concern for any organisation. Its significance has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisations need to prepare for all types of threats, both probable (a server breaking down) and improbable (the office being flooded), to ensure that their operations can survive and adapt to continue with BAU (business as usual) in the face of a disaster.
    Yet risk management isn't solely about preventing negative outcomes, it is also about an organisation taking a known risk to uncover new opportunities to improve the organisation. For example, the transition of employees to remote working could risk an organisation's security as an employee could connect their laptop to an unsecure Wi-Fi connection. However, as demonstrated in the pandemic, remote working helped protect employees as the risk of infecting one another with COVID-19 was reduced.
    Read this pocket guide to understand how:
    
    - Risk-based management can prepare your organisation for future threats and therefore help the success of a BCP (business continuity plan);
    - To identify whether the opportunities gained from a 'risky' decision can outweigh the perceived threat;
    - The principles of ISO 31000 can help your organisation develop a framework for its approach to risk management;
    - The guidelines of ISO 31000 can be interwoven with controls in other standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; and
    - The organisation must continually review its approach to risk management to stay prepared for the latest threats.

    If your body still lives in the past even though your mind knows you're safe, then keep reading...
     
    
     
    You've tried talking about it. You've tried thinking your way through it. But trauma doesn't live in your thoughts—it lives in your nervous system.
     
    Your body is still keeping score, even when you're trying to move on.
     
    Traditional therapy asks you to understand your trauma. Polyvagal Theory teaches you to release it. Not through more talking, but through understanding the language your nervous system has been screaming in all along.
     
    This isn't about reliving your past. It's about rewiring your present.
     
    
     
    You'll discover:
    
    Why your body reacts before your mind can catch up
    How your vagus nerve controls your sense of safety
    The science behind why you freeze, flee, or fight
    How to shift from survival mode to thriving mode
    Why "just calm down" has never worked for you
    The missing piece in traditional trauma therapy
    
     
    Healing trauma isn't about being strong enough to push through it.
     
    It's about being wise enough to work with your body's natural systems. Your nervous system isn't broken—it's been protecting you. Now it's time to teach it that the danger has passed.

    I did not become a doctor to help people cheat death, but to help them understand it. 
    In The Liver Doctor, Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, expert hepatologist and one of India's most vocal advocates of science-led medicine, tells us the fascinating story of the least understood, most indispensable and only self-regenerating organ in the human body-the liver.  
    With the searing precision of a scientist, the empathy of a doctor who witnesses the fragility of the human body every day and the dogged curiosity of a detective, Dr Philips dives into ancient myths and legends through various cultures, the annals of history as well as his own deeply personal encounters from his life as a doctor, taking his readers on a wondrous journey where belief collides with data and hope is tested against prognosis.  
    Along the way, he asks the uncomfortable questions that modern physicians often avoid: How much certainty should medicine promise? When does treatment become harm? And how do doctors and caregivers live with decisions that cannot be undone?  
    In the end, The Liver Doctor becomes a treatise on the history and evolution of medical science itself-one that will leave you informed and poignantly unsettled, long after the last page is turned.
