Sinopse

"Power of Steam" masterfully chronicles the transformative impact of steam engine technology on human civilization, beginning with James Watt's groundbreaking improvements in 1769. This comprehensive exploration weaves together the technical evolution of steam power with its profound influence on industrial development and societal change during the Industrial Revolution.

 
Through accessible language and detailed illustrations, the book demystifies complex mechanical principles while maintaining scholarly rigor. The narrative progresses logically through three main sections: the fundamental technical developments of steam engines, their widespread industrial applications, and the revolutionary impact on transportation.

 
Readers discover how pioneers like Thomas Newcomen and James Watt overcame engineering challenges to create increasingly efficient machines, while detailed case studies of textile mills and mining operations demonstrate how steam power freed industry from geographical constraints. The transformation of transportation through steam locomotives and steamships receives particular attention, supported by original engineering drawings and performance data.

 
What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting mechanical engineering principles with economic and social history. Drawing from extensive primary sources, including patent documents and engineering logs, it provides concrete evidence of steam power's role in reshaping urban development, labor practices, and global trade. The work's balanced treatment of technical details and historical context makes it valuable for both engineering students and history enthusiasts, while its examination of early industrial pollution and technological determinism remains relevant to modern discussions of innovation and environmental impact.

Between Two Rivers - Ancient...

Moudhy Al-Rashid

Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time. 
 
 
 
What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw, and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth. 
 
 
 
In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, countless receipts for beer, and the messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world's first museum, and a working mother struggling with "the juggle" in 1900 BCE. 
 
 
 
Millennia ago, Mesopotamians saw the world's first cities, the first writing system, early seeds of agriculture, and groundbreaking developments in medicine and astronomy. With breathtaking intimacy and grace, Al-Rashid brings their lives―with all their anxieties, aspirations, and intimacies―vividly close to our own.

Psychology is a subject with wide and partially unexplored horizons. The psychological well-being of an individual is in fact dependent on every single influence. Starting in the womb, continuing with education, hobbies, views, knowledge, feelings and learned values. These influences provide namely for positive development or also for negative development. These opposites of the positive and negative development describe thereby roughly seen finally the psychology. This tries to explain behaviors of an individual and offers the possibility to overcome fears, for example.To ensure a good introduction to the subject, it is important to mention that one groups the generic term of psychology into many detailed aspects and subtopics. In this context, new findings regularly contribute to the development and progress of psychology. For example, new methods and new therapies are developed through advanced brain research and behavioral observations by compiling statistics.
