Sinopse

Lighthouse Engineering explores the captivating history and complex engineering behind maritime beacons, from simple signal fires to advanced automated systems. These structures, designed to withstand extreme conditions, showcase a blend of art and science. Lighthouses have evolved significantly; for instance, the development of Fresnel lenses dramatically improved light visibility, and modern LED lighting offers unprecedented efficiency. The book examines structural integrity, light-source technology, and automation, illustrating how lighthouse advancements mirror broader progress in engineering and materials science. 

 
Early chapters focus on fundamental design principles and construction methods. Later sections detail the evolution of light sources, from basic fires to electric lights, and the integration of remote monitoring and solar power. Case studies and historical records support the narrative.

 
 Uniquely, the book combines technical details with historical context, presenting a comprehensive view suitable for engineers, architects, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and architecture. It emphasizes the interplay between human ingenuity and environmental challenges, highlighting adaptations necessary for the marine environment. The book progresses logically, building from foundational concepts to modern innovations, offering practical insights for coastal infrastructure and historical appreciation.

  • The Honey Trap - How the Good Intentions of Urban Beekeepers Risk Ecological Disaster - cover

    The Honey Trap - How the Good...

    The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
     
     
     
    Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
     
     
     
    With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.

    Natural healing is the practice of using natural remedies such as herbs, foods, vitamins, and other plants to cure or prevent illness. In contrast with traditional Western medicine which focuses on treatments that are often high-tech and invasive, natural healing typically takes a less medical approach. 
    In most cases the body has a self-regulating ability to heal itself without intervention from individuals or outside sources which can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to individuals who choose this type of treatment. However some people may have specific health conditions in which they need outside help from natural healers in order for their bodies to fully recover. 
    The term "natural healing" is also used in the context of alternative healing as opposed to alternative medicine, which is a distinct field at scientific investigation with its own principles, methods and theories. 
    Natural healing is a well-established practice in many cultures around the world; certain cultures are known to have had medical practitioners who have used natural remedies for centuries before the discovery of modern medical science. 
    This audio book covers 
    ·        What is Natural Healing 
    ·        How Does Natural Healing Work? 
    ·        The Healing Power of our Minds

    Jules Henri Poincaré (1854 – 1912) was one of France's greatest mathematicians and theoretical physicists, and a philosopher of science.As a mathematician and physicist, he made many original fundamental contributions to pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics and celestial mechanics. He was responsible for formulating the Poincaré conjecture, one of the most famous problems in mathematics. In his research on the three-body problem, Poincaré became the first person to discover a chaotic deterministic system which laid the foundations of modern chaos theory. He is considered to be one of the founders of the field of topology. Poincaré introduced the modern principle of relativity and was the first to present the Lorentz transformations in their modern symmetrical form. He discovered the remaining relativistic velocity transformations and recorded them in a letter to Lorentz in 1905. Thus he obtained perfect invariance of all of Maxwell's equations, an important step in the formulation of the theory of special relativity. (Summary from Wikipedia)
