Summary

Wood Moisture Management addresses the critical challenge of preserving wooden structures in changing climates by focusing on building science principles to combat rot and decay. The book uniquely emphasizes a proactive approach to moisture control, shifting from reactive repairs to preventative construction techniques. This includes understanding moisture sources like rain and condensation, which are key to preventing wood decay, a process driven by fungi and microorganisms. The book progresses from fundamental concepts of moisture behavior and wood decay to examining specific moisture sources and preventative techniques, such as material selection and ventilation strategies. It presents information in an accessible manner, integrating real-world case studies and unique data from moisture monitoring to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed strategies. Ultimately, it promotes a systems-thinking approach for long-term durability of wooden structures.

    Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of how this pervasive science came to be and how it works: who funds it, how physicists are trained and how they think, and how physics supports the technology we all use. Sidney Perkowitz presents the theories and outcomes of pure and applied physics from ideas of the Greek natural philosophers to modern quantum mechanics, cosmology, digital electronics, and energy production. Considering its most consequential experiments, including recent results in elementary particles, gravitational waves and materials science, he also discusses outside the lab, the effects of physics on society, culture, and humanity's vision of its place in the universe.
