Sinopsis

Rolling Airports explores the history and potential of rapidly deployable runways, a critical technology for emergency aircraft operations and tactical deployments. These mobile runways address a significant gap in aviation safety, offering a flexible alternative to fixed airports, especially in disaster relief scenarios. The book reveals how the concept originated during World War II, with early versions using materials like prefabricated steel mats.

 
The book examines the engineering principles involved in creating stable mobile runways, considering materials science and structural engineering. It presents case studies of successful deployments in military operations and remote civilian applications.

 
By using primary sources like military manuals and engineering reports, Rolling Airports offers a unique perspective, blending historical analysis with a forward-looking assessment of this underutilized technology. The book progresses from the fundamental engineering challenges to the historical evolution of runway systems and their modern applications. It connects to fields like civil engineering, logistics, and disaster management to underscore the multifaceted nature of mobile runways.

 
Ultimately, it argues for their strategic value in specific contexts, highlighting their potential to revolutionize aviation safety and military capabilities.

    Brain injuries can result in highly specific and surprising changes in behavior that have revealed to us how the mind works.The brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. After spending millennia trying to understand our ever-changing world, the brain is now turning its capacities for reasoning, remembering, and understanding inward, as it tries to understand itself.The biggest breakthroughs in neuroscience have come mostly by accident. These accidents didn't happen in research labs. They happened on railway job sites, in showers, on bicycles, in cars or were the result of infections from uncommon diseases.When an individual suffers brain damage as the result of an accident or illness, the negative effects can be profound—life altering and lifelong—yet the insights offered by the effects of these injuries have been revolutionary for neuroscientists. Through an examination of landmark cases of traumatic brain injury, Dr. Lorin J. Elias explains how each case has expanded our understanding of the mind.
