Synopsis

Wind Ships explores the exciting resurgence of wind-assisted propulsion (WAPS) in the maritime industry, offering a path towards sustainable shipping. It examines how modern cargo ships can harness wind power to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimize the environmental impact of global trade. One intriguing insight is the potential for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality in port cities. The book uniquely balances technological feasibility, environmental benefits, and economic viability, presenting a comprehensive view for industry professionals and environmental advocates alike.

 
The book investigates various WAPS designs, from rotor sails to kite sails, and analyzes their performance through real-world case studies. It quantifies emissions reductions and assesses the economic factors driving WAPS adoption, offering a framework for evaluating return on investment.

 
By starting with the fundamental principles of wind-assisted propulsion, dedicating chapters to specific WAPS designs, and culminating with an analysis of economic factors, the book provides a clear progression of information.

 
The book argues that wind-assisted propulsion is a viable component of a sustainable future by demonstrating how innovative engineering and advanced materials are transforming wind power into a competitive alternative to conventional fuel sources.

    The inspiring story of a feisty pioneering woman who sought freedom and adventure in the outback and became the first woman to work as an opal miner in Australia. 
     
    People always asked her if she was ever afraid, living out in the desert alone with all those rough and scruffy men. But Minnie Berrington was not the faint-hearted type, and never had been. Being tough came naturally to her, growing up with three brothers and a family that went from riches to ruins. 
     
    Only a slip of a girl, Minnie could match any man in stamina, perseverance and strength. She arrived in Coober Pedy when camels still brought in essential supplies, and water was so scarce that no-one washed. Together with the other miners, she braved the heat, the flies and the dust. Every day she waited for that special sound the pick made when it cracked opal. 
     
    The first woman to dig her own shafts in the Australian opal fields, Minnie began her working life as a typist in London. But she and her younger brother, Victor, sought freedom and adventure in the 1920s and found plenty of it in the outback.

    'Utterly brilliant - engaging, thrilling, disturbing, revelatory, explosive' GEORGE MONBIOT'This extraordinary book, written with startling honesty and vulnerability, traces Charlie's remarkable journey from deep despair to resistance, reconnection and remedy. If you are ready to channel grief within into action in the world, read on.' KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist'Spinning Out is a salve, weaving together the intricacies of madness underscored by the backdrop of a changing climate. It's an essential and insightful resource in the fight for climate justice.' TORI TSUI, author of It's Not Just You'Heart-rendingly, heart-stoppingly glorious' MANDA SCOTT, author of bestselling Boudica seriesHumanity is driving the earth mad. Now, the earth is driving us mad in return. Charlie Hertzog Young became a climate activist in his early teens. His journey led him onto airport runways and into the halls of power, but also to a serious mental health breakdown. He had to rebuild himself physically and psychologically, before focusing his efforts on collective mental recovery in response to a planet in crisis.Spinning Out explores how climate chaos and the failure of those in power to tackle it are causing an inevitable mental health crisis across the globe. The relationship between the climate and our emotional wellbeing goes far deeper than eco-anxiety. It goes to he roots of our civilisation - its principles, its practices and its false solutions.With testimony from dozens of activists, organisers and researchers across every habitable continent, Spinning Out is a celebration (of other ways to be) and a manual for anyone who wants to fight for a better world, while avoiding burnout and despair.Wedding the needs of the earth with the needs of the human mind, Spinning Out offers a powerful, collective vision for change.
