Synopsis

"Cable Car Journey" presents a fascinating exploration of how cable car systems revolutionized transportation, from their humble beginnings in the Swiss Alps to their modern incarnations in urban environments. The book masterfully weaves together the technical evolution of cable car engineering with its profound impact on society, demonstrating how these aerial pathways transformed both mountain accessibility and urban mobility since their steam-powered inception in 1879.

 
Through a combination of technical drawings, historical photographs, and engineering specifications, the book illuminates the ingenious mechanical principles behind cable car operations. Readers discover how early pioneers tackled crucial challenges like cable tension management and safety mechanisms, while gaining insights into the parallel development of mountain aerial tramways and San Francisco's iconic street cars. The narrative draws from authentic historical sources, including original patents and operator logbooks, providing a rich tapestry of technological advancement.

 
The book progresses systematically from fundamental mechanical principles to historical implementations and contemporary applications in urban planning. What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to examining cable cars not just as transportation systems, but as catalysts for economic development and social connection. Through detailed case studies and technical specifications, it offers practical insights for engineering professionals and urban planners while maintaining accessibility for transportation enthusiasts. The inclusion of maintenance guidelines and planning considerations makes it an invaluable resource for those involved in implementing and maintaining these sustainable transportation solutions.

    A rollicking history of the life and work of an unheralded genius: Dr. Solomon Snyder, whose experiments with mind-altering drugs helped change the way we think about the causes and treatments of schizophrenia. This program is read by the author.In the 1950s, the field of psychiatry had nothing to show for itself. While polio was being cured, antibiotics were being discovered, and cancer research was developing, the mental health world had no wins. Asylums were full and nobody had figured out how to fix insanity—specifically schizophrenia, the severest mental illness. Scientists became convinced that if they could engineer a pill to create madness, then they could cure it.Centered around Solomon Snyder, the psychiatrist who ultimately did identify the madness pill, and the community of doctors and researchers he worked with, THE MADNESS PILL recounts the drug-fueled quest to cure schizophrenia. A wunderkind who started medical school at 19, Snyder worked steadily for decades to replicate the illness, ultimately finding in 1970 that amphetamines could trigger a schizophrenia-like state by flooding the brain with dopamine. Five years later, he went on to discover the dopamine receptor and proved that antipsychotic drugs work by disabling dopamine neurons. Snyder’s dopamine hypothesis inspired a generation of researchers to part ways with psychoanalysis and look for the biological basis of schizophrenia and other mental disorders.Using first-hand research and interviews, THE MADNESS PILL is at once a raucous history and insightful portrait of a remarkable scientist who turned psychiatry into a respected science by transforming how mental illness is treated.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press

    An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. 
     
    Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems. 
     
    Science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.
