Summary

Fireproof Materials explores the critical and rapidly advancing field of fire-resistant materials, essential for enhancing construction safety and preventing disasters. The book highlights how next-generation materials, such as intumescent coatings and fiber-reinforced polymers, are revolutionizing architecture and building design. These advancements address the escalating need for safer buildings amidst increasing urbanization and climate-related risks. One intriguing fact is the shift from older, less effective methods like asbestos to sustainable, high-performing alternatives. The book emphasizes proactive fire prevention strategies as more effective and economically sound than reactive measures, advocating for the widespread adoption of these innovative materials.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental concepts of fire science. It then moves into the science and manufacturing of advanced materials, presenting case studies and performance data. Finally, it focuses on architectural integration, covering design strategies, building codes, and economic and environmental implications. This approach ensures readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how material science translates into practical building design and regulatory compliance, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and policymakers.

    Into Stability: Walter R. Evans and the Story of Root Locus tells the remarkable story of a quiet but transformative breakthrough in engineering—one that reshaped modern control systems and helped guide technological progress during the Cold War. 
In the late 1940s, as engineers struggled to design increasingly complex feedback systems for aircraft, radar, and emerging technologies, stability remained one of the most difficult problems in control engineering. Walter Evans, working with a rare combination of mathematical insight and practical intuition, developed a graphical technique that allowed engineers to visualize how system stability changed as parameters shifted. This method—later known as the root locus—quickly became one of the most powerful and widely taught tools in control theory. 
The book traces Evans’s journey from his early life and education through the intellectual environment that shaped his thinking, revealing how curiosity, persistence, and unconventional problem-solving led to a breakthrough that would influence generations of engineers. 
Beyond the mathematics, Into Stability is also a human story—of family, mentorship, and the legacy of innovation. Gregory W. Evans blends personal recollections with historical context to illuminate how one engineer’s idea spread through classrooms, laboratories, and industries worldwide. The result is both a tribute and a historical narrative that captures the spirit of discovery that drives engineering progress. 
Ultimately, the book reveals how a deceptively simple graphical technique became a cornerstone of modern control engineering—shaping everything from aerospace systems to robotics and beyond—while honoring the life and contributions of the man who first drew stability into view.

    How do artificial neural networks and other forms of artificial intelligence interfere with methods and practices in the sciences? Which interdisciplinary epistemological challenges arise when we think about the use of AI beyond its dependency on big data? Not only the natural sciences, but also the social sciences and the humanities seem to be increasingly affected by current approaches of subsymbolic AI, which master problems of quality (fuzziness, uncertainty) in a hitherto unknown way. But what are the conditions, implications, and effects of these (potential) epistemic transformations and how must research on AI be configured to address them adequately?

    'Utterly brilliant - engaging, thrilling, disturbing, revelatory, explosive' GEORGE MONBIOT'This extraordinary book, written with startling honesty and vulnerability, traces Charlie's remarkable journey from deep despair to resistance, reconnection and remedy. If you are ready to channel grief within into action in the world, read on.' KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist'Spinning Out is a salve, weaving together the intricacies of madness underscored by the backdrop of a changing climate. It's an essential and insightful resource in the fight for climate justice.' TORI TSUI, author of It's Not Just You'Heart-rendingly, heart-stoppingly glorious' MANDA SCOTT, author of bestselling Boudica seriesHumanity is driving the earth mad. Now, the earth is driving us mad in return. Charlie Hertzog Young became a climate activist in his early teens. His journey led him onto airport runways and into the halls of power, but also to a serious mental health breakdown. He had to rebuild himself physically and psychologically, before focusing his efforts on collective mental recovery in response to a planet in crisis.Spinning Out explores how climate chaos and the failure of those in power to tackle it are causing an inevitable mental health crisis across the globe. The relationship between the climate and our emotional wellbeing goes far deeper than eco-anxiety. It goes to he roots of our civilisation - its principles, its practices and its false solutions.With testimony from dozens of activists, organisers and researchers across every habitable continent, Spinning Out is a celebration (of other ways to be) and a manual for anyone who wants to fight for a better world, while avoiding burnout and despair.Wedding the needs of the earth with the needs of the human mind, Spinning Out offers a powerful, collective vision for change.
