Beschreibung

Electric Rails explores the pivotal role of high-voltage rail systems in achieving sustainable transportation. Bridging electrical and mechanical engineering, the book argues that modern advancements in rail electrification are key to boosting train efficiency and cutting the carbon footprint of transportation networks. It emphasizes how strategic implementation of high-voltage systems, combined with power electronics innovations, can significantly enhance the reliability of electric trains.

 
Intriguingly, high-voltage rail systems trace back over a century, and their evolution from DC to AC networks highlights continuous improvements in power transmission. The book progresses logically, starting with electric traction principles and power transmission basics, then systematically analyzing high-voltage rail system components like substations and rolling stock. Design considerations, such as insulation coordination, are detailed, followed by real-world case studies. 

 
It uniquely combines theoretical analysis, experimental data, and performance metrics from global high-speed rail networks to underscore its points. This evidence-based approach aims to provide engineers, policymakers, and students a thorough understanding of how to optimize rail systems for a sustainable future.

Wild Isles: The book of the BBC...

Patrick Barkham, Alastair...

This beautifully illustrated overview of the wildlife of the British Isles showcases the diversity of our plant and animal life.
Wild Isles is a celebration of the wildlife found on a relatively modest collection of islands positioned at a latitude so northerly to be unattractive to many animals and plants. Despite these unpromising foundations, the islands of Britain and Ireland, together with more than 6,000 lesser islets that make up our archipelago, contain some of the most diverse, beautiful and wildlife-rich landscapes and seas on our planet.
This book will explore the fascinating relationships within and between species who make their home on our beautiful isles.
Each chapter focuses on a particular kind of wild space. Britain and Ireland are dominated by a wide variety of grasslands from lowland water meadows to upland moors, and we will see how these human-shaped, semi-natural landscapes thrum with insect, bird and mammal life. Life requires water to flourish, and streams and rivers carry freshwater through our landscape, creating unique ecosystems and interrelations within and beside these waters, which are revealed in a third section. While Britain and Ireland’s woodlands are comparatively thin on the ground compared with most of continental Europe, we will see some of the forests and trees that remain are unusually ancient and, great repositories of life. Finally, of course, we are surrounded by sea, and our position on the continental shelf before it plunges into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean gives rise to an often overlooked plenty of marine life. A glorious richness divided into five breathtaking sections.
In Wild Isles, the latest Sunday Times bestselling book by Patrick Barkham, the beauty and diversity of nature in the British Isles are brought to life. Through stunning photography and engaging narrative, Barkham explores the various habitats and the intricate ecology that defines them.
For fans of Martin Stevens (Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution), Jonnie Hughes (Earthshot), Josh Young (Expedition Deep Ocean), Matt Kaplan (The Science of Monsters), and Nigel Henbest (Philip's Stargazing 2024 Month-by-Month Guide to the Night Sky Britain & Ireland).
