Beschreibung

"Glider Origins" offers a captivating journey through the evolution of unpowered flight, from ancient dreams to modern engineering marvels. Beginning with Otto Lilienthal's groundbreaking controlled flights in 1891, the book weaves together the technical foundations of aerodynamics with the compelling stories of aviation pioneers who dared to challenge gravity.

 
Through meticulous research drawing from primary sources and engineering archives, readers discover how early glider experiments laid the essential groundwork for all modern aviation. The narrative progresses chronologically, exploring three key aspects: the fundamental engineering principles of unpowered flight, the visionary inventors who advanced glider technology, and the transformation of gliding from experimental science to recreational pursuit.

 
Particularly fascinating is the examination of how German gliding movements of the 1920s and 1930s, along with wartime necessity, drove significant technological innovations in aircraft design. The book expertly balances technical content with accessibility, explaining complex concepts like lift, drag, and thermal dynamics through clear examples and practical applications.

 
What sets this work apart is its comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, connecting glider development to meteorology, materials science, and physics. The book explores both civilian and military applications, from training pilots to conducting atmospheric research, while maintaining a focus on the engineering principles that make unpowered flight possible. For mechanical engineers, aviation enthusiasts, and students alike, it serves as both a technical reference and a testament to human ingenuity in the quest for flight.

    The history and use of New Zealand's native plants 
      
    A guide and gift book in equal measure, this treasure of a book pays homage to New Zealand's native plant species. 
    The Meaning of Trees tells the story of plants and people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Beautifully illustrated with botanical drawings, paintings and photographs, it shows us how a globally unique flora has been used for food, medicine, shelter, spirituality and science. From Jurassic giants to botanical oddballs - these are our wonderful native and endemic plants, in an exquisite hardback edition. 
    Praise for The Meaning of Trees: 
    'Robert Vennell makes wandering through our bush seem like a visit to a giant shopping centre. Over there is the kawakawa store, offering everything from an aphrodisiac to a gonorrhoea cure. Next door is the tutu cafe, where you can enjoy delicious wine or a refreshing laxative (though the seeds are deadly). On the top floor is the matai bar, where the berries aren't to everyone's taste, but the bushman's beer is great. And round the corner is the miro health centre. Every plant has a story and the result is delightfully informative.'
