Sinossi

"Tramway Tales" presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of urban rail transportation, from horse-drawn carriages to modern electric trams, exploring how these systems have fundamentally shaped our cities. The book masterfully weaves together technological advancement, urban development, and social change to tell the story of one of humanity's most enduring transportation solutions.Through carefully researched case studies from cities like Melbourne and Portland, it reveals how tramways have repeatedly proven themselves as catalysts for sustainable urban development. The narrative unfolds across three distinct periods: the initial boom of tramways in the 19th century, their decline during the automotive age, and their modern renaissance as a solution for sustainable urban mobility.What makes this book particularly valuable is its accessible presentation of complex engineering concepts, making it relevant for both general readers and transportation professionals. The author skillfully balances technical details about track design and power systems with broader discussions of urban planning and environmental impact.Drawing from extensive municipal archives and engineering records, the book demonstrates how tramways represent more than just transportation infrastructure—they're indicators of a city's approach to public space and sustainable development. The work concludes with an exploration of future possibilities, including autonomous trams and car-free city centers, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of urban planning, sustainable transportation, and technological innovation.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Our teeth should last a lifetime. For many Americans this is not the case despite the world's best technology and treatment. Most dentists emphasize treatment over prevention. Daily oral hygiene is talked about but not taught to dental students or patients. Something is very wrong when regular patients with common gingivitis are referred to a periodontal specialist. It is time for dentists, patients and policy makers to be given an insider's look on the importance of oral hygiene habits and its effect on your dental and general health. 
    A folksy and engaging testimony to a great man and the dental profession to which he has devoted his life. Dr. Saroyan has weaved a story of his own experiences in dentistry with the basics of a dental education for the layperson emphasizing common sense prevention. As an advocate for optimum oral health, Dr. Saroyan looks at the controversies surrounding fluoridation and offers suggestions for a compromise. His insights into and opinions of dentistry and dental profession politics are deep and positions are always taken with the public’s health in mind. A great read for those who are in the profession and those who are interested in what goes on in their mouths. 
    This book is worthwhile reading for dental patients, aspiring dental students, and dental professionals. Doctor Saroyan is an exemplar of continued lifelong learning through serving the faculty of a dental school with his emphasis on prevention. Dr. Saroyan pulls no punches by revealing his frank and strong opinions in which dental public health can be improved by professional organized efforts.

    ‘I knew dogs could make a difference to the children’s lives. I knew it the moment I watched a little boy, exhausted by pain and sickness, stretch out his hand to touch my dog’s paw, and then…he smiled.’ 
    Lyndsey Uglow has endured and overcome mental health challenges and much personal pain, including her young son’s battle with Leukaemia. Lyndsey knows only too well the emotional rollercoaster experienced by parents supporting their children through critical illness, but she also knows just how much the company of dogs can alleviate just some of their worry and pain. 
    The healing bond with dogs that helped her, she now shares with others – in the shape of a dynasty of exceptional Golden Retrievers, including the incredible Leo. Since 2012, Lyndsey has made it possible for therapy dogs to visit more than 10,000 children, many critically ill, bringing smiles of simple joy and a sense of normality to lives ruled by pain, sadness and uncertainty in paediatric intensive care, cancer wards and palliative care. 
    Leo has also faced his own battles. After suffering a serious injury on a beach run, he was saved by a pioneering technique which restored him to full health for the sake of the children who were missing him so much. 
    This is Lyndsey and Leo’s story and how they have brought the extraordinary healing powers of dogs to others; while sharing the stories of just some of the thousands of children for whom a soft paw or wet nose has brought comfort, care, laughter and joy at the darkest of times. 
    Lyndsey Uglow's LEO & FRIENDS is a heart-wrenching memoir that explores the themes of grief, bereavement, and the healing power of pets. It's a top-rated autobiography that delves into the complex dynamics of family relationships and the solace found in the companionship of animals. 
    For fans of Andrew Cotter (Dog Days), Linda Watson-Brown (Sins of the Father), Dr Amit Patel (Kika & Me), Noel Fitzpatrick (Dogs and Their Humans), and James Herriot (All Creatures Great and Small).

    Whether a musician who wants to understand the engineering behind the music, a hobbyist who wants to start recording their songs, a music lover who wants to understand why certain records sound the way they do, an audio engineer who wants to make sure they can nail the basic technicalities of their craft, or simply someone eager to learn the basics of audio engineering, this book is for you.The book is organized in the most intuitive way possible: you will follow the sound from its creation to its rendering, from the vibrating string to the sound in their ears. Chapter 1 deals with physical sound and its description in terms of waves. Chapter 2 explains how the sound is transformed and transported by a series of devices (microphones, cables, amplifiers, etc.) from the analog physical domain to the digital virtual domain. Chapter 3 describes the basic transformative operations available in the digital domain. Chapter 4 explains how the sound is transformed back into the analog domain and how we detect it.With 13 tables, 16 original figures, 13 equations, a 4 page glossary and a complete list of sources, "How Audio Works" gives you all the tools to understand the basics of audio engineering, and come out more informed and better prepared.How Audio Works, everything you need to know about audio basics.
