Sinopsis

'Slingshot' presents a fascinating exploration of the engineering principles and physics behind one of humanity's oldest projectile weapons, expertly bridging the gap between mechanical science and competitive sport.

 
This comprehensive guide transforms complex concepts into accessible knowledge, examining how elastic energy, material properties, and precise technique combine to create a sophisticated precision instrument from a seemingly simple device.

 
The book methodically progresses through key technical areas, including elastic energy storage mechanics, modern material science applications in band and frame design, and the biomechanics of accurate shooting. Through extensive laboratory testing, high-speed camera analysis, and input from professional competitors, readers gain deep insights into the optimization of slingshot performance.

 
Notable aspects include detailed wind tunnel testing data and comparative studies of projectile trajectories, demonstrating how engineering principles directly influence shooting accuracy. Uniquely positioned at the intersection of multiple disciplines, this work serves both technical and practical audiences by maintaining scientific rigor while offering actionable insights.

 
The systematic progression from basic principles to advanced applications makes it invaluable for mechanical engineers, competitive shooters, and sports science professionals alike. Through its examination of material properties, structural optimization, and shooting mechanics, the book demonstrates how understanding fundamental engineering concepts can elevate performance in precision-based activities.

    Climate change is a problem so enormous and complex—with threats so frightening in their implications—that many of us fend off confusion and hopelessness by simply turning away. Meanwhile, with delayed action, missed targets, and increasingly dire reports at the international level, a notion that the crisis is intractable continues to spread. And the proposed solutions can be just as daunting. They often involve jargon about gigatons of carbon and kilowatt-hours of electricity. In a deeply polarized political environment, any sense of the common purpose required to make these work seems to dissolve into denial or paralysis. With all this fear and conflict, the question must be asked: How do we find the tools and the hope we need to tackle such a wickedly difficult issue? 
     
     
     
    In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

  • Fortress London: Why we need to save the country from its capital - cover

    Fortress London: Why we need to...

    A vividly written and timely polemic tackling the burning injustices shaping British society today. 
    ‘Intelligently written and powerfully argued.’ Paul Mason 
    ‘Witty, scathing, and entertaining.’ Danny Dorling 
    Journalist Sam Bright is a Northerner living in London. He is just one of the millions of people clinging on to the coattails of the capital, sucked in by the prospect of opportunities that the rest of the United Kingdom does not enjoy. 
    Our capital is a vast melting pot of languages, cultures, and ideas, and rightly celebrated for it. For many, though, there is no other option. The only place to access the opportunities this country offers is London. Banking, law, politics, advertising, architecture, the arts and the media are all concentrated here. It is almost impossible to reach the heights of any profession without joining the grey hoards queuing for the next tube. As the economic, political, and cultural epicentre of the country, Fortress London acts more like a renaissance city-state like Florence or Venice than the capital of a modern nation-state. And the gluttony of London, compared to the malnourishment of our regions, dramatically affects life chances in Britain. 
    Fortress London argues that to address Britain’s manifold problems, we need first to end the hegemony of its capital. Enriched by a vast array of interviews and statistics, it will examine how our individual destinies, from childhood to death, are determined by the disproportionate power of London. It will explain why regional inequality has fallen off the Left’s radar, even as the Right pays lip service to it, and it will draw on international comparisons to show where we have gone wrong and, crucially, how we can fix it. 
    Sam Bright’s clear-eyed intervention will convince you that regional inequality is the problem — and that now is the time for change. 
    Featuring exclusive interviews with: Andy Burnham, Lisa Nandy, Steve Rotheram, Aditya Chakrabortty, David Blunkett, Jess Phillips, Andrew Adonis and more… 
    In Fortress London, Sam Bright masterfully delves into the science of social disparity and the geography of opportunity, painting a vivid picture of a city that is both a beacon of hope and a fortress of inequality. The book is a top pick for anyone interested in public affairs, policy planning, and the human cost of regional inequality. 
    For fans of James O'Brien (How They Broke Britain), Chris Bryant (James and John), Grace Blakeley (Vulture Capitalism), Ian Dunt (Conspiracy Theory), and Rory Stewart (The Places In Between).

    Traditional cold calling is becoming less and less effective every day because the way people prefer to communicate is rapidly changing. 
     
     
     
    Are you frustrated with the diminishing returns from traditional prospecting methods? Have you tried and failed to use social media and email to develop a consistent stream of quality leads? Do you have the sense that there should be a better calendar structure to your overall prospecting strategy, so that there's a clear, unfolding pattern of contact that turns leads into active business opportunities? 
     
     
     
    In Digital Prospecting, Mike Jones and Ken Guest offer a proven, battle-tested process for an integrated twenty-first-century prospecting system that leverages today's social technologies. The book outlines the most effective ways to prospect using email and social selling interactions as the initial point of contact with the prospect. The process it offers is not meant to replace cold calls. It's meant only to give you the tools you need to evaluate which method makes the most sense, given your unique situation. Digital Prospecting is a must-listen for front-line salespeople eager to bring their business development plan up to date . . . and for the executives who train, supervise, coach, and mentor them.

More than a cautionary tale, it is a tribute to all the volunteers and professionals who willingly put themselves in harm's way to save lives. This is a must-listen for anyone who hikes the Whites.
