Sinopse

"The Fan Evolution" explores the surprisingly rich history of fans, tracing their development from ancient status symbols to essential components of modern climate control. The book examines how fans embody humanity's ongoing quest for comfort and efficiency, revealing the intricate interplay between technology, culture, and our environment. Interestingly, early fans held significant cultural roles, serving as religious artifacts and fashion accessories, reflecting social hierarchies.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with hand-held fans and their cultural context, then transitioning to the mechanical innovations behind electric fans, and culminating in their integration into complex climate control systems. Readers will discover how advancements in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and engineering have shaped fan technology, influencing everything from ventilation to energy efficiency. Engineering diagrams and historical documents support the analysis.

 
This book uniquely combines social history with detailed technical analyses, making it valuable for students of engineering, history, and anyone curious about the evolution of everyday technologies. By understanding the principles behind air movement and energy consumption, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the technologies they use daily and their environmental impact.

    Lindley's groundbreaking book tells the true story of mis- and dis-information, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back. 
    We’re living through the post-truth years, where it can feel almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in the information that we’re fed. But is it possible to escape the opinions created by false information and fake news, spread by our closest loved ones, friends, right up to world leaders? 
    Yes. There is hope. 
    The second edition of The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation leaves behind – even in a post-truth world. We build up an essential toolkit to stop, step back from and sidestep misinformation and disinformation wherever our timelines take us. Through neuroscience, conspiracy beliefs, journalism, politics and AI, we’ll take a journey to alt-reality and back to build a happier, healthier future of truth.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated our fragility as a species. Humanity was attacked by a previously unknown virus that spread very rapidly, thanks to a speed of population mobility never before seen in human history. It succeeded in creating the complete upset of the global socio-economic system. Such an event gives us an important stimulus to re-evaluate health in the context of a circular system that encompasses humans and the environment in which we live. The key challenge we face is the discovery of novel paths to crisis resolution. Can we abandon the often cherished, but now rather obsolete, tendency to specialize in a restricted subject area? Can we re-discover the ability to become permeable to ideas that reach us from other disciplines and embrace a thinking-out-of-the-box approach? This book encourages the reader to consider this challenge via the telling of stories, both great and small. Stories that, although sometimes overlooked, have defi ned the course of our history and thus open the door to a new pathway of progress. In some ways, COVID-19 may have shown the direction nature expects us to take. Ilaria Capua suggests to us that, today more than ever, we are the responsible actors in the circle of life, guardians of our planet and defenders of its health. As one entity of circular nature.
