Beschreibung

Wooden Shipbuilding explores the fascinating history and mechanical engineering behind constructing wooden ships, revealing how master shipwrights transformed timber into formidable naval vessels. The book delves into the practical methods of historical ship construction, from timber selection to hull assembly, while also uncovering the underlying engineering principles that ensured seaworthiness. Readers will learn about the ingenious techniques used to create structurally sound vessels, such as how the arrangement of planks contributed to the ship's overall strength, a testament to the shipwrights' deep understanding of material properties.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the essential materials and tools before moving through the stages of ship construction, including framing, planking, and caulking. Archival documents, ship plans, and modern engineering analyses converge to highlight how shipwrights effectively functioned as engineers, optimizing designs for stability and performance long before formal engineering disciplines. This unique approach provides a quantitative assessment of wooden ships' structural performance, making it an invaluable resource for maritime historians, naval architects, and anyone interested in maritime history and engineering.

The first work of ‘living poetry’ in the world, by the author of the bestselling book Eunoia. 
Christian Bök in Book 1 of The Xenotext outlined his plan to encode a poem into the genome of a deathless bacterium, thereby writing a text durable enough to outlive any apocalypse, surviving until the death of the Sun itself. After more than two decades of effort, Bök has, at last, succeeded at this incredible experiment, and Book 2 of The Xenotext situates his enterprise within the deep time of the cosmos. 
Bök rehearses some of the techniques likely to be used in the future to preserve the cultural heritage of our civilization against a potential planetary disaster (be it thermonuclear warfare or astrophysical barrage); moreover, Bök speculates that, buried within the biochemistry of Life itself, there really does exist an innate beauty, if not a hidden poetry – a literal message that we might read, if we deign to seek it.

In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.
