Sinopse

"Heat to Power" explores thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, a promising technology for converting waste heat into electricity. This book delves into the core principles of TPV energy conversion, covering the materials used in TPV cells and emitters, as well as system design and optimization. TPV systems offer a pathway to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions by capturing wasted thermal energy from industrial processes and power plants. The book highlights how TPV technology can contribute to a more sustainable energy future through decentralized power generation.

 
The book begins with the fundamental physics and thermodynamics of TPV energy conversion. It then explores the materials science aspects, with a focus on high-temperature emitters and photovoltaic cells. Later chapters delve into system design, configurations, and integration with different heat sources, culminating in case studies of real-world applications. Readers gain insights into the economic and environmental implications of TPV technology, offering a balanced assessment of its potential benefits and challenges in sustainable energy.

    The Happy Vagina shines a light on both the unique and sometimes awkward facts about everything gynaecological, creating an open dialogue for all sexes and generations. 
    “A fierce and fabulous celebration of women. Mika’s straight-talking, no-nonsense writing means she is the friend we don’t just want, but need. Beautiful and empowering. A must read.” – Laura Whitmore 
    In a world where the vagina is still, too frequently, considered taboo, this book aims to entertain, educate and enlighten. Mika Simmons, creator and host of 'The Happy Vagina' podcast, rightly believes that this taboo is problematic and can lead to a whole host of health issues. Intimate health and pleasure can be hard to talk about, regardless of background or experience, The Happy Vagina is here to smash this stigma for women, and men. 
    Medicine, politics, religion, and social conditioning have all had a thoroughly improper and exaggerated influence on women’s being – with many of the falsehoods told still negatively impacting us. Mika’s intention is to re-educate us all by shining a light on these ridiculous, historical myths and then debunk them by sharing the most unique, incredible, and empowering facts about the vagina, thereby encouraging a more open dialogue for everyone. 
    Covering everything from the myth of the wandering womb to mindful masturbation and orgasms to period poverty, the history of contraception, pregnancy and being childfree, Mika’s approachable and positive message urges all of us to know, and appreciate, our own bodies. 
    The Happy Vagina is a best-selling, top-rated book in the medical genre, providing an illustrated guide to gynaecology and obstetrics. Mika Simmons promotes a healthy body and spirit, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in fitness and women's health. 
    For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Davinia Taylor (It's Not A Diet), Matthew Mcconaughey (Greenlights), Lara Briden Nd (Period Repair Manual), and Cory Silverberg (The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability).

  • How To Make It In Nursing As A Man - How To Thrive Persevere And Become A Success In Your Journey To Earning The Title Of A Male Nurse - cover

    How To Make It In Nursing As A...

    Are you a man looking to get into nursing and do not know how to? 
    Do you wish to understand just what it takes to become a nurse in a female-dominated field? 
    If so, then you have come to the right place. 
    This book will usher you into the world of being a male nurse and thriving at it! 
    For a better part of the last decade, nursing has been considered a female domain, with men being looked at as anomalies in the field. The view that men cannot make good nurses has thus led to widespread stereotypes of men who get into the field. Men in nursing are generally often viewed with suspicion, with people even questioning their sexual orientation.  
    However, as you will learn in this book, nursing had originally been a field meant for men. During the old periods up until the 19thcentury, large-scale caregiving was a role that was meant for men. Thus, this already defeats the stereotype that men lack the necessary temperament to get into nursing. 
    Furthermore, men who get into nursing consider it the most fulfilling profession that they could choose and simply want to care for people. 
    So, perhaps you may be wondering… 
    Why is it hard for men to get into nursing? 
    What are some of the challenges male nurses face in the profession? 
    How do female nurses react to and treat their male colleagues? 
    What are male nurses doing to change the negative perception of men in the field? 
    What does the future hold for male nurses? 
    If these and many questions are bothering you, then this is the book that answers them and more, as it covers the ins and outs of becoming a male nurse and how to make the best of it.
