Sinopse

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.

Hearing Happiness - Deafness...

Jaipreet Virdi

Weaving together lyrical history and personal memoir, Virdi powerfully examines society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.

At the age of four, Jaipreet Virdi’s world went silent. A severe case of meningitis left her alive but deaf, suddenly treated differently by everyone. Her deafness downplayed by society and doctors, she struggled to “pass” as hearing for most of her life. Countless cures, treatments, and technologies led to dead ends. Never quite deaf enough for the Deaf community or quite hearing enough for the “normal” majority, Virdi was stuck in aural limbo for years. It wasn’t until her thirties, exasperated by problems with new digital hearing aids, that she began to actively assert her deafness and reexamine society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.
Through lyrical history and personal memoir, Hearing Happiness raises pivotal questions about deafness in American society and the endless quest for a cure. Taking us from the 1860s up to the present, Virdi combs archives and museums in order to understand the long history of curious cures: ear trumpets, violet ray apparatuses, vibrating massagers, electrotherapy machines, airplane diving, bloodletting, skull hammering, and many more. Hundreds of procedures and products have promised grand miracles but always failed to deliver a universal cure—a harmful legacy that is still present in contemporary biomedicine.

Weaving Virdi’s own experiences together with her exploration into the fascinating history of deafness cures, Hearing Happiness is a powerful story that America needs to hear.
