Beschreibung

"Vintage Car Craze" offers a comprehensive exploration of classic automobiles' profound influence on automotive engineering and design, spanning three crucial periods: the pioneering era (1900-1929), the art deco period (1930s), and the post-war innovation surge (1945-1965).
 
Through meticulous research incorporating original blueprints, designer sketches, and interviews with industry experts, the book reveals how vintage automobiles served as sophisticated engineering experiments that established the foundation for modern automotive design principles. The narrative expertly weaves together technical analysis with historical context, examining the evolution of key components such as engine design, suspension systems, and transmission technologies.
 
Readers discover how social and economic factors influenced design decisions, while breakthrough innovations like standardized parts and assembly line production transformed the industry. The book's interdisciplinary approach highlights fascinating connections between automotive engineering and fields like aeronautical engineering and materials science, demonstrating how advancements in one area catalyzed developments in others.
 
Structured to progress from fundamental concepts to complex technical discussions, this work serves both as a practical guide and historical reference. It addresses crucial debates within the automotive community, including restoration versus preservation considerations, while providing detailed case studies of significant models that marked important developmental stages. Whether you're a mechanical engineer, restoration specialist, or passionate enthusiast, the book offers valuable insights into how vintage automobiles shaped not only transportation but also industrial design philosophy and manufacturing processes.

    Remotivation is a vital guide to help you thrive at work and beyond - no matter where you're located! 
    The book is designed to help you create your own version of success by showing you how to activate 6 key motivations to work: money, identity, routines, growth, impact, and joy. 
    Sarah Aviram worked remotely as a Human Resources leader from 12 different countries in 12 months while researching the future of work - from co-working spaces in Mexico City and Medellin, to cafes in Kuala Lumpur and Kyoto. 
    Many remote workers she met and interviewed, thought that having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere would make them feel happier and more motivated at work. But then they found themselves working from the beach in Bali still feeling stuck and unfulfilled. 
    Aviram realized that being able to work from anywhere was only a band aid solution for a much bigger challenge: not being motivated by the work itself. 
    Through fun inspirational stories, research, and her HR expertise, Aviram shows you how to tackle challenges that might be getting in the way of your fulfillment like the pressure of others’ expectations, the guilt you have about what you “should” be doing, and inertia of routines that don’t support your goals. You’ll also be empowered with the tools you need to create more opportunities for impact, tactics to develop new skills, and ways to do more work you enjoy – whether from the office, your home, or the beach!

    The Golden Age of Islam -...

    The Islamic Golden Age, which spanned from the 8th to the 13th century, was a period of extraordinary cultural, intellectual, and scientific development within the Islamic world. This flourishing era was deeply rooted in the foundational principles of Islam, where the pursuit of knowledge, the preservation of classical texts, and the quest for understanding the natural world were seen as acts of divine service. The Islamic civilization, during this time, became the beacon of knowledge and scholarship, laying the groundwork for significant advances in various fields that would influence the world for centuries to come. 
    The foundation of this golden age can be traced back to the establishment of the early Islamic empire, starting with the Rashidun Caliphate and continuing through the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates. Under the Abbasids, particularly, the capital city of Baghdad became a hub of intellectual activity and learning. The Abbasid caliphs, especially during the reign of Caliph Harun al-Rashid and his successors, recognized the importance of knowledge and promoted the translation of Greek, Persian, and Indian texts into Arabic. This movement, known as the translation movement, brought works of classical antiquity, such as those of Aristotle, Galen, and Ptolemy, to Islamic scholars. These translated texts formed the basis of advanced research in fields like philosophy, mathematics, and medicine. 
    At the heart of the Islamic intellectual renaissance was the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma), an institution established in Baghdad that became a center for scholars from diverse backgrounds. The House of Wisdom hosted translators, philosophers, mathematicians, astronomers, and doctors who would carry out research and engage in dialogue that bridged cultures and philosophies. This institution was instrumental in the synthesis of knowledge from different civilizations, fostering an environment of intellectual collaboration and exchange.

    Caroline Norton dazzled nineteenth-century society with her vivacity, her intelligence, her poetry, and in her role as an artist's muse. After her marriage in 1828 to the MP George Norton, she continued to attract friends and admirers to her salon in Westminster. Most prominent among her admirers was the widowed Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. 
     
     
     
    Racked with jealousy, George Norton took the Prime Minister to court, suing him for damages on account of his adultery with Caroline. A dramatic trial followed. Despite the unexpected and sensational result—acquittal—Norton was still able to legally deny Caroline access to her children. He also claimed her income as an author for himself, since the copyrights of a married woman belonged to her husband. 
     
     
     
    Yet Caroline refused to despair. Beset by the personal cruelties perpetrated by her husband and a society whose rules were set against her, she chose to fight. She channeled her energies in an area of much-needed reform: the rights of a married woman and specifically those of a mother. She campaigned tirelessly, achieving her first landmark victory with the Infant Custody Act of 1839. Provisions which are now taken for granted owe much to Caroline, who was determined to secure justice for women at all levels of society from the privileged to the dispossessed.
