Summary

Speed Facts explores the fascinating concept of speed, from the leisurely pace of animal locomotion to the theoretical limits imposed by relativity and quantum mechanics. It emphasizes that our fascination with speed isn't just about breaking records, but also about understanding the fundamental constraints that govern motion in the universe. Did you know that terminal velocity limits the speed of a skydiver, or that the speed of light is considered the ultimate cosmic speed limit? The book progresses from basic physics concepts like velocity and acceleration to real-world examples like high-speed vehicles and spacecraft, and then delves into the science behind the speed of sound and light. Speed Facts uniquely examines both achievements in speed and the limitations that physics imposes, giving a grounded view of what is possible. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of speed, connecting physics with engineering, biology, and even space travel, and presents information in an accessible way for anyone curious about science.

    For the average Joe, fishing may be considered a pretty tedious affair… 
    Long hours spent on the bank by some muddy pond in the middle of nowhere, hunched over a rod, waiting for a bite. 
    Early starts, foul weather, wriggling worms and writhing maggots are enough to turn most people off straight away. But for the staunch angler, this sweeping assumption couldn’t be further from the truth… 
    From wild conspiracies and wacky theories to absurd angling drama, the sport of fishing is more bizarre than most could ever imagine. From the ridiculous ghost story of a man-eating catfish to glorious angling embellishments, The Secret Lives Of Anglers reveals the hidden truths of this puzzling pastime.

    THE book for Profitable Ranching. A Real Ranching Revolution. Cattle Breeding. Grazing Management. 
    Much like nature, this book is both simple and complex. The author has taken great care to create both a simple technical guide as well as a philosophic declaration about complex human and environmental nuances, all in one volume. 
    Those persons who see and shape the future often say that the future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed. I am confident that, several years from now many will look back upon this book, as well as the rest of Johann Zietsman's works, as foundational to the restoration of—and relationships between—man, cattle, and veld. 
    Zietsman puts forth a much-needed critique of man and his actions over the past century as well as personal stories as contra-example to the narratives we that have dominated the ranching world. 
    Achieving the ranch goal of maximum sustainable profit per hectare depends on breeding and feeding cattle (and all grazing species) as the grazers that they are. Efforts should be directed at raising cattle that are more efficient converters of forage, not on trying to make forage-reliant species into grain-efficient machines. Forces of nature created the animals we have, and their genetic potential will be brought out through non-selective grazing and proper supplementation. 
    Non-selective, time-controlled grazing, in which 80 to 95 percent of the mass of all grasses and forbs are utilized, thus pruning plants back to their crowns, is the process by which grasslands are improved in both plant vigor and species composition. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this last point—plant species diversity is promoted by time-controlled severe grazing events, whereas selective, take half leave half grazing is much more limited in improving species diversity, even leading to species narrowing in some circumstances.
