Sinossi

In "Earthwork Slips and Subsidences upon Public Works: Their Causes, Prevention, and Reparation," John Newman delves into the critical issues of soil instability and its impact on civil engineering projects. Written in a meticulously analytical style, this work draws upon rich empirical data while integrating theoretical frameworks to dissect the causes of earthwork failures. Set against the backdrop of the rapid industrialization of the 19th century, the text situates itself within the broader context of geotechnical engineering, addressing both practical challenges and preventive measures that remain relevant today. John Newman, a prominent figure in civil engineering during his era, possessed extensive hands-on experience with public works projects, which informed his profound understanding of geotechnical challenges. His insights were shaped by the evolving landscape of engineering practices and the increasing necessity for safeguarding infrastructure against earth-related hazards. This background provided him with a unique vantage point from which to explore the complexities of earthwork and its implications for public safety. This book is highly recommended for civil engineers, geologists, and environmental scientists, as well as historians of technology. Newman's comprehensive approach equips readers with essential knowledge to navigate the intricacies of earthworks, making it a seminal text for both contemporary studies and practical applications in engineering.

Electromagnetic Theory - A Study...

Mark Hedges

Electromagnetic theory is a fundamental branch of physics that describes the interactions between electric and magnetic fields and how they give rise to electromagnetic waves. The theory provides the foundation for understanding a wide range of physical phenomena, including the behavior of light, radio waves, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic theory is essential not only in classical physics but also in modern technological applications, such as communication systems, medical imaging, and radar. 
The development of electromagnetic theory is rooted in the pioneering work of James Clerk Maxwell, who formulated a set of equations known as Maxwell's equations in the 19th century. These equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered by each other and by charges and currents. Maxwell's equations unify the concepts of electricity and magnetism into a single framework, revealing that light itself is an electromagnetic wave propagating through space. This groundbreaking discovery led to the realization that visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, differing only in their frequency and wavelength.

Sisters of the Jungle - The...

Keriann McGoogan

Sisters of the Jungle explores the history of primatology, a rare scientific discipline led primarily by women, from pioneers like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey to author Keriann McGoogan's own adventurous field studies. 
 
Since the 1970s, the science of primatology has been dominated by women—a unique reversal, as men usually outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. 
 
Today, one of those women is primatologist Keriann McGoogan, who has traveled to the far corners of the earth in search of wild primates. In Sisters of the Jungle, McGoogan combines stories about her own studies of howler monkeys (the loudest living primate) and lemurs (the most endangered group of animals on the planet) with those of the women who paved the way: intrepid scientists like Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Biruté Galdikas, and Alison Jolly who broke boundaries, made astonishing discoveries and ultimately shaped the trajectory of an entire branch of science.
