Summary

"Strength of Kevlar" offers a comprehensive exploration of one of modern science's most remarkable synthetic materials, delving into the molecular mysteries that make this lightweight fiber stronger than steel. The book skillfully navigates through Kevlar's fascinating journey, from its serendipitous discovery by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965 to its revolutionary impact across multiple industries, including aerospace, ballistic protection, and structural engineering.

 
The text is structured in three distinct sections that progressively build understanding: beginning with the fundamental polymer chemistry and intermolecular forces, moving through manufacturing processes and quality control measures, and culminating in real-world applications. Through detailed analysis of laboratory data and electron microscopy studies, readers discover how the precise alignment of para-aramid molecules creates Kevlar's extraordinary crystalline structure, resulting in its remarkable tensile strength and durability.

 
What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting materials science with mechanical and chemical engineering while maintaining accessibility for both technical specialists and informed general readers. The authors expertly balance theoretical foundations with practical applications, using clear explanations and specific examples to illuminate complex concepts. Professional engineers and advanced students will particularly appreciate the actionable insights into material selection and application, supported by extensive research evidence from materials science laboratories worldwide.

  • Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous - cover

    Three Dialogues Between Hylas...

    Berkeley uses the Socratic mode of inquiry in Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous to question fundamental beliefs about knowledge and reality. These dialogues are between Hylas (whose name is derived from the ancient Greek word for matter) and Philonous, whose name means "lover of mind".The new physical sciences developed in the 17th century supported the materialism proposed by Thomas Hobbes and several other philosophers. This worldview proclaimed that all of reality consists of nothing but matter in motion, thus promoting atheism and ethical skepticism. The implications for politics, ethics, and religion caused concern among leading intellectuals in the 18th century.Whatever the value of the positive claims presented in this work, Berkeley foreshadows the philosophical impact of 20th-century physics, which challenges the foundations of such materialism and calls for a better understanding of both the physical and the mental aspects of reality.© Agora Publications

    Reimagining The Divine - A...

The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
  
Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
  
Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
  
Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
  
The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
If your vision for the future is 
·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.

    A pioneering researcher unveils the neuroscience of executive function: How it works and what we can (and can’t) do to improve it. 
 
From the muddle of brain fog that leaves you searching for keys already in your hand to the challenges posed by conditions like ADHD, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, deficits in executive function are everywhere. Everyone agrees that executive function is essential for solving problems, planning for the future, and leading effective, meaningful lives―yet few can agree on what it actually is, or how to improve it. In Think Before You Think, internationally renowned neuroscientist Adrian Owen draws on cutting-edge research and a vast original dataset to finally demystify what executive function is, how it shapes our behavior, and what truly does―and doesn’t―help sharpen it. As practical as it is profound, Think Before You Think reveals our cognitive strengths, our limitations, and the extraordinary potential we all possess.
