Sinopsis

"The Vasa Ship" unravels the fascinating story of one of history's most notable maritime failures, a 17th-century Swedish warship that sank minutes into its maiden voyage, only to become an invaluable archaeological treasure. This comprehensive analysis explores the perfect storm of political ambition, technical overreach, and organizational failures that led to the Vasa's demise in 1628, while highlighting its remarkable preservation and recovery in 1961.

 
The book masterfully weaves together the technical aspects of period shipbuilding, the political climate under Gustav II Adolf's reign, and the archaeological significance of this exceptional vessel. Through meticulously researched chapters, the narrative traces the Vasa's journey from its conception as part of Sweden's naval expansion to its disastrous launch and eventual resurrection as a premier archaeological specimen.

 
The author draws compelling parallels between historical shipbuilding practices and modern project management principles, demonstrating how contemporary engineering insights could have prevented the catastrophe. Original shipyard documents, naval archives, and recent computational analyses provide readers with an unprecedented look into 17th-century maritime technology and organizational decision-making.

 
This unique examination transcends traditional military history by connecting naval architecture, conservation science, and project management theory. The book's accessible approach makes complex technical concepts understandable to general readers while offering sufficient depth for maritime enthusiasts and professionals. By exploring the intersection of political pressure, engineering limitations, and organizational dynamics, it presents timeless lessons about technical oversight and the consequences of unchecked ambition in large-scale projects.

    Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
    Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
    the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
    'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
    The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

    Although black men have made economic and educational improvements than those of the past, there are still problems that make black men today more depressed, stressed and sad about their current conditions. The stereotypes that all black men are irresponsible, make babies, leave their families behind, and create impediments to success, love and economic stability, are wrong. Black men have feelings, from the obdurate gang banger to the father who works two jobs to support his family, while the pressure of the world sits on their dreams like an anchor pulling them toward defeat. 
      However, black men are trying to change their lives, and what they do not need, is outside influences obstructing their desire to positively change. Yes, many black men are angry, and many black men are tired of negative and racist misinformation concerning them and their communities. This is the most beloved book on real black men issues TRYING and DOING positive things to atone and avert from their past mistakes.
