Sinopsis

"PCB Pioneers" chronicles the revolutionary transformation of electronic circuits from unreliable hand-wired assemblies to the precise, compact printed circuit boards that power today's devices. The book focuses on the critical period from the 1940s to 1960s, when fundamental PCB manufacturing principles were established, sparked by a pivotal incident in 1943 when a radio operator's struggle with faulty equipment on a bomber aircraft highlighted the need for more reliable electronics.

 
Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, the book explores two parallel innovations that shaped modern electronics: the development of reliable conductive pathway printing techniques and the standardization of component mounting methods. Readers discover how military demands during World War II accelerated PCB development, with pioneers like Paul Eisler and the U.S. Army Signal Corps refining early experimental techniques into practical manufacturing processes. The evolution from primitive silver paint circuits to sophisticated photochemical processes demonstrates the rapid advancement of this technology.

 
The narrative expertly weaves together technical developments, including the progression of base materials, through-hole plating innovations, and the emergence of multi-layer board construction, while examining how industry leaders like Bell Labs and IBM adapted these technologies for commercial use. Written in an accessible style that balances technical detail with historical context, the book illuminates how these early innovations continue to influence modern electronic design, from flexible circuits to advanced semiconductor packaging, making it valuable for both engineering professionals and technology enthusiasts.

Home Waters - A Chronicle of...

Anónimo

In the spirit of his father's beloved classic, A River Runs through It, comes John N. Maclean’s true chronicle of his family and their bond with Montana's Blackfoot River—a profound and beautiful story about the power of place to bind generations, past and present 
“Maclean’s Hemingway-esque prose is as clear as a mountain stream, flowing with a poetic cadence.” —Booklist 
“The trout completed its curve in an undulating, revelatory sequence. A greenish speckled back and a flash of scarlet on silver along its side marked it as a rainbow. One slow beat, set the hook … in those first seconds I felt a connection to a fish of great size and power.""  
So begins John N. Maclean's remarkable memoir of his family's century-long love affair with Montana's majestic Blackfoot River, which his father, Norman Maclean, made legendary. Now himself past the age that his father published his bestselling novella, Maclean returns annually to the simple family cabin that his grandfather built by hand, still in search of the fish of a lifetime. When he hooks it at last, decades of longing promise to be fulfilled, inspiring John, reporter and author, to finally write the story he was born to tell.  
A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a place, Home Waters is chronicle of a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized in A River Runs Through It, including the Reverend Maclean, the patriarch who introduced the family to fishing; Norman, who balanced a life divided between literature and the tug of the rugged West; and tragic yet luminous Paul (played by Brad Pitt in Robert Redford’s film adaptation), whose mysterious death has haunted the family and led John to investigate his uncle’s murder and reveal new details in these pages. 
A universal story about the power of place to shape families, and a celebration of the art of fishing, Maclean’s memoir beautifully portrays the inextricable ways our personal histories are linked to the places we come from—our home waters.

Alien Earths - The New Science...

Dr. Lisa Kaltenegger

This program features an introduction and epilogue read by the author. "In the grand tradition of Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson, we now have a new tour guide to the cosmos."―Charles Cockell, Professor of Astrobiology, University of Edinburgh"Absorbing, informative, and entertaining."―Kirkus (Starred Review)“[Dr. Lisa] Kaltenegger's accessible scholarship and [Cassandra] Campbell's grounded performance encourage listeners to gaze skyward and wonder.”—AudioFileRiveting and timely, a look at the research that is transforming our understanding of the cosmos in the quest to discover whether we are alone.For thousands of years, humans have wondered whether we're alone in the cosmos. Now, for the first time, we have the technology to investigate. But once you look for life elsewhere, you realize it is not so simple. How do you find it over cosmic distances? What actually is life? As founding director of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute, astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger has built a team of tenacious scientists from many disciplines to create a specialized toolkit to find life on faraway worlds. In Alien Earths, she demonstrates how we can use our homeworld as a Rosetta Stone, creatively analyzing Earth's history and its astonishing biosphere to inform this search. With infectious enthusiasm, she takes us on an eye-opening journey to the most unusual exoplanets that have shaken our worldview - planets covered in oceans of lava, lonely wanderers lost in space, and others with more than one sun in their sky! And the best contenders for Alien Earths. We also see the imagined worlds of science fiction and how close they come to reality. With the James Webb Space Telescope and Dr. Kaltenegger’s pioneering work, she shows that we live in an incredible new epoch of exploration. As our witty and knowledgeable tour guide, Dr. Kaltenegger shows how we discover not merely new continents, like the explorers of old, but whole new worlds circling other stars and how we could spot life there. Worlds from where aliens may even be gazing back at us. What if we're not alone?A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
