Summary

Bridge Facts celebrates the world's most impressive bridges, examining the intersection of engineering, architecture, and human ambition that enables us to span vast distances. It explores the evolution of bridge engineering, from simple crossings to complex suspension systems, and highlights how bridge architecture merges aesthetics with functionality to create iconic designs. For example, suspension bridges demonstrate how engineering overcomes immense forces, while arch bridges exemplify elegant load distribution.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with fundamental bridge types like beam, arch, truss, suspension, and cable-stayed bridges and then explores thematic elements such as "Iconic Designs" and "Innovative Materials." Each section examines notable bridges, providing detailed analysis of their construction, design, and historical context. This approach offers readers a clear understanding of how structural mechanics and materials science come together.

 
What sets this book apart is its holistic view, recognizing the interplay of engineering, architecture, and social impact, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in technology and architecture. It culminates with a look toward future trends, including sustainable materials and advanced sensor technologies, solidifying its value for anyone intrigued by the architectural significance and practical applications of bridge engineering.

    The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britain's east coast grew rich on the backs of the 'silver darlings'.
Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.
With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those who've neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.

    Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás

    Infinity and our Unbounded...

    The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.
