Summary

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.

    Ever Green - Saving Big Forests...

    Five stunningly large forests remain on Earth: the Taiga, extending from the Pacific Ocean across all of Russia and far-northern Europe; the North American boreal, ranging from Alaska's Bering seacoast to Canada's Atlantic shore; the Amazon, covering almost the entirety of South America's bulge; the Congo, occupying parts of six nations in Africa's wet equatorial middle; and the island forest of New Guinea, twice the size of California. 
 
 
 
These megaforests are vital to preserving global biodiversity, thousands of cultures, and a stable climate, as John W. Reid and Thomas E. Lovejoy argue convincingly in Ever Green. Megaforests serve an essential role in decarbonizing the atmosphere—the boreal alone holds 1.8 trillion metric tons of carbon in its deep soils and peat layers, 190 years' worth of global emissions at 2019 levels—and saving them is the most immediate and affordable large-scale solution to our planet's most formidable ongoing crisis. 
 
 
 
Reid and Lovejoy offer practical solutions to address the biggest challenges these forests face, from vastly expanding protected areas, to supporting Indigenous forest stewards, to planning smarter road networks. In gorgeous prose that evokes the majesty of these ancient forests along with the people and animals who inhabit them, Reid and Lovejoy take us on an exhilarating global journey.
