Summary

"Salt Winds Sustain" explores critical ocean survival strategies, focusing on rainwater harvesting and shade creation. The book highlights how these techniques, rooted in environmental science and geographic understanding, significantly increase a castaway's chances of survival. 

 
Did you know that dehydration and heatstroke are among the most immediate threats at sea? The book delves into effective methods for water purification and examines the science of solar radiation to mitigate heat stress. 

 
This book uniquely combines historical accounts with modern techniques, offering a practical, evidence-based approach. It progresses by first introducing rainwater harvesting methods, then focusing on shade creation and heat management, and finally synthesizing these strategies with real-life case studies. 

 
The book considers factors like material availability, construction complexity, and thermal performance, incorporating keywords such as the oceanic environment and Earth Sciences.

    ¿Y si todo lo que hemos creído sobre el sol y la salud está mal? 
    Durante años, nos han enseñado a temer al sol, a protegernos de sus rayos y a evitar la exposición. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes están desafiando esta narrativa, revelando que la luz solar, lejos de ser un enemigo, puede ser un poderoso aliado para nuestra salud. 
    En este esclarecedor libro, el autor examina rigurosamente los últimos estudios científicos sobre la exposición solar y su impacto en el cuerpo humano. A lo largo de sus páginas, se desmontan mitos profundamente arraigados y se destacan los beneficios de una adecuada exposición solar para la salud inmunológica, cardiovascular y emocional. Se exploran a fondo temas clave como la producción de vitamina D, la regulación del ritmo circadiano y el papel esencial de la melatonina y la melanina en la prevención de enfermedades. 
    El texto profundiza en las controversias que rodean el uso de protectores solares, el aumento de los casos de osteoporosis, los efectos nocivos de la luz artificial y la relación entre la exposición al sol y ciertos tipos de cáncer, todo ello basado en estudios de alta calidad y metaanálisis recientes. 
    Este volumen forma parte de una serie de cinco libros dedicados a los pilares fundamentales de la salud: la luz solar, el ayuno intermitente, los hábitos tóxicos modernos, la glucosa y los biorritmos. Una serie científica, clara y transformadora basada en la evidencia más contundente de los últimos años.

    A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
     
     
     
    Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
     
     
     
    There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.

    Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. 
     
     
     
    From 1907 to 1967, a network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York, including Greene, Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties. This feat of engineering served to meet New York City's ever-increasing need for water, sustaining its inhabitants and cementing it as a center of industry. West of the Hudson, it meant that twenty-six villages, with their farms, forest lands, orchards, and quarries, were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, and submerged, profoundly altering ecosystems in ways we will never fully appreciate. 
     
     
     
    This paradox of victory and loss is at the heart of Nineteen Reservoirs, Lucy Sante's meticulous account of how New York City secured its seemingly limitless fresh water supply, and why it cannot be taken for granted. In inimitable form, Sante plumbs the historical record to surface forgotten archives and images, bringing lost places back to life on the page. Her immaculately calibrated sensitivity honors both perspectives on New York City's reservoir system and helps us understand the full import of its creation.

    It’s clear that the future is all about artificial intelligence and machine learning. We all want better recommendations, better personalization, and we want much more from our internet searches. The apps we use can see, they can hear, and they can even respond, and that is a direct result of artificial intelligence – improving the user experience and bringing much more value across every industry. 
    This brings two questions to mind, though – How do we bring those experiences to life and what’s the best computer programming language to use? 
    The obvious answer is to use Python because it is the best language for machine learning. 
    Why?  
    What makes it the best programming language? 
    Artificial intelligence projects are different from your standard software project, and that difference comes from the technology stack, from the skills that you need for artificial intelligence projects and from the real necessity for deep research. 
    You need a programming language that offers stability, flexibility, and a wide range of tools. Python gives you all this and more. From development, right through deployment to maintenance, the Python language helps us to be productive developers, confident about what we are building.
